Advice on Social Customs

OF wealth. It appears to them TO be
both conspicuous and unkind. The
newly rich have been exploited in
comics for years past and will be for
years TO come. not because they are
rich. but because their very uneasiness
and apparent ignorance OF money
spending make them ridiculous. There
are many in this country who suddenly
acquire wealth. Some OF them take the
change as 1t should be taken. Quietly
and without Ostentation, they change the
manner Of living as occasion permits.
Perhaps they buy new clothes and even
new jewels. but they never wear them
at inappropriate times and places.
The newly rich of the other kind
grasp their money and seem TO leap
into view decked out in all kinds OF
extravagant and costly garments. They
are the misguided souls who prefer 70

morning, whereas that is the time when
the simplest clothes should appear. Late
afternoons and evenings demand more
elaborate gowns. AS a matter OF fact,

cotton gowns without overstepping the
bounds OF good taste. But then they
never indulge in ornaments.
A good general rule is to reserve all
jewels. with the exception of rings. for
wear after o'clock In the afternoon.
A few women who possess pearl neck
laces of rare beauty wear them always.

"O BE perfectly dressed on al
occasions Is an ideal worth
striving for. There is nothing
SO blatantly ordinary as the
person who constantly overdresses.
Particularly true is this when 1t ap-
plies to a young girl. and girls in their
teens are the ones most prone to err
In this respect.
No girl who has not yet made her
bow to society or who has not reached
the stage OF long dresses should wear
Jewels Of any sort save plain ring, a
seal ring, perhaps. and chain to hold
a watch. Many girls wear bangles, and
n they are not jeweled they are not
absolutely out of place. but it is better
not to wear these except on dress occa-
sions.
Many foolish mothers allow their
daughters to wear handsome rings even
20 school, and by these the children are
Judged by scholars and teachers alike
When this IS pointed out to the fond
mothers they fail to grasp the fact that
overdressing Is a breach Of good taste,
as we'll as an indication Of under
breeding. They are not sorry that they
have subjected their daughters to ridi-
cule; they merely intimate that teachers
and pupils are jealous and envious.
They cannot see that children and
young girls should be simply dressed
and not decked out In a manner IN
suitable 90 their age.
Furthermore. such a display Of pos
sessions is most harmful to the charac-
ter OF the child who carries It. She Is
soon made self-conscious and eager 10

begins to realize how conspicuous she
Is Naturally, she attributes this. not 10
the fact that she IS undesirably con-
spicuous. but TO the fact that She wears
more jewels than her playmates. OF
course, this attitude soon makes her SUI
perciliOus and unpopular.

"HE unsightly ring that encircles
the throat Of so many women

although Its presence Is usually
attributed to that cause Very often it

OF a high boned collar and the conse-
quent discoIoration OF the skin. But
whatever fits cause. It is perfectly GER
tain that the throat showing no vestige
Of a ring is decidedly rare. so rare that
the white throat has come TO be con-
sidered a mark of beauty.

so easily removed? This is a question

wise you all to begin treatment at once,
so that when the winter months come
and you don semi-dressy open-neck
frocks you will not be ashamed Of the

morning you will find a marked I'M

Perhaps you would rather vary the
treatment by using the water with ben

neglect the hot-water bath, though you
may omit the benzoin. Then. before
binding with the cucumbers, massage
the throat lightly with a good skin
food.
II may take many treatments to gain
this snowy whiteness OF throat, and
even then you must watch carefully
that the ring does not return. At the
first glimpse OF It resume treatment
and It will disappear. In the meantime,
should you wish TO hide the ring when
you wear the Dutch neck or evening
dress, you may paint your throat with
the following bleach. 1t is powerful
