HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL
Lillian Gish, Movie Actress, Tells Girls to Watch
Hands and the Wav They Stand.
BY ESTHER HOFFMAN,.

BY ESTHER HOFFMAN,.
$50 much depends on the way
you use your hands," said pretty
Dorothy Gish.
When | asked her what her
beauty prescription was for keep
ing her hands smooth and white
she said:
"Of course. the way you use
your hands does not particularly
make for their whiteness. After
the usual care, which every we'll
groomed woman gives to all her
person, there Is grace OF poise
and gesture that, II acquired, will
give almost any girl the reputa-
ton of having beautiful hands.
First, you must observe others
and find where the other girl Is
graceful and where she is awk-
ward. Then you must observe
yourself after you have taken
your deep breathing exercise In
the morning, take a little time to
perfect yourself In grace.
"If possible stand before long
mirror and practice moving your
hands to fix your hair, to hold a
book, to put on your hat, to clasp
and unclasp them while talking.
to make the everyday gestures
when talking. Do this until 1t be-
comes second nature to you and
you will soon be called the girl
with the beautiful hands,"

With the revival Of our grand
mothers fashion In dress comes
the vogue OF our grandmother's
fashions in crocheted laoes.
Some Of the prettiest of the
crocheted laces are made Of coro-
nation braid. This braid comes
In three sizes as here illustrated.
The following stitches are used
In The Times lessons: Single chain
stitch ts. CHI. s. or CHI. 81: single
crochet stitch q. c. So; double
crochet stitch "a. o. 81 and picot
stitch tp. ST.
Unlike the ordinary crochet,
the foundation of this lace con-
sists in the twisting and crochet
ing of the coronation cord into
loops. therefore care should be
taken that the stitches he neither
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-07-21

too loose nor too tight, for tn,
beauty Of the work will depend
greatly on the accuracy with
which the cord and the stitches
are arranged.
The foundation stitch can then
be crocheted with evenness and
freedom. With a little experience
In twisting the coronation cord
many serviceable and attractive
laces and insertions can be made,
which are both admirably adapted
for the trimming OF house linens
as we'll as dresses and articles of
wear.
When executing the cord lace
or insertion the size Of crochet
hook and the number OF thread
to use must be determined by the
thickness Of the coronation cord
Intended for the purpose.

Q.-I have your numerous
answers to letters on the sub
ject of kissing. l disagree
with you entirely.
l am keeping company
with a young man three
years my senior. He has
good position and excellent
prospects. He is very attrac-
tive In appearance, being
tall, erect and clean skinned.
He is greatly admired by all
my girl friends, in fact, they
somewhat envy me his at
tentions.
When he takes leave of
me, he simply places his
strong arms around my
sholders, draws me close to
him and kisses me on the lips
once, very affectionately.
One such kiss from him is
worth at least a year of my
life. Resistance would be
useless; he is so strong and
powerful. Besides, like to
have him kiss me.
He does not lose his re-
spect for me, nor do see
that l am doing any wrong.
Now Miss Grey. what would
you do II such a nice young
man were to dare to kiss
you? Shall I slap his face
and lose his friendship? How
can / avoid being kissed
without giving offence! F.
Ali you so entirely Disagree
with mo, and feel so absoluteI,
and positively beyond q doub,
that you do no wrong to allow
the young man to kiss you, VIII,
consult me about the matter?
Let's see. This young man has
y good position and excellent
prospects. III he has not alread,
done SO, he will soon prepare d
home for the woman he chooses
for his wife. Has he ever Sc
much as even limited that he
wants YOU for that woman? You
allow him to sip freely of your
lies sweetest nectar. Have Won
any proof that his love IL sincere
Or lasting? Can it he that you
place no value upon the honor of
your v'0manhood? Suppose n
should tlrn out that you were NOT
he lone woman" would you be
lust as happy as though you had
reserved your kisses? You say
one kiss from him Is worth nj
east u whole year Of your life.''
never before dreamed that any
me would barter life thus cheaply.
You ask how you can avoid
,eink, kissed by the man. Tie
inle to have avoided Il was when
10 asked for the first kiss; IL win
70 more difficuIt now. You think
o excuse yourself by saying that
despite resistance he would kiss
you anyway because he Is 8,
strong. That Is very poor ex,
csise. II the man respects you
he viii respect your wishes. I,
would be real test of his affec.
ton for you. III he leaves yor
because he Is denied the .'goot
night kiss" mark my words, IN
VIII leave you sooner or later
anyway.

THE SCHOOL OF WAR.

The contending giants in the great war are
shooting lessons into each others brains
Socialistic Germany is driving home to Eng
land the truth that nation, to be invincible in
war, must in time of peace crush the enemy
within the greed which with its weapons of
low wages, long hours, poor food and bad houses
strikes at the bodies and spirits Of the nations
men and women
Democratic England is driving home to the
masses in Germany the equally great truth that
the most wonderful governmental machine of
social efficiency only grinds down humanity
within and without the nation unless the peo-
pie have control of the levers
Shall not we, from our vantage point over
here learn both lessons7

TIMELY QUESTION WHY'S 1T HoT9

Editor The Times: Why is it warm in summer
time? Is it because the earth is nearer to the
sun than it's in winter? READER.
To understand why we have warm weather in
summer we must understand that the earth does
not move around the sun in circle, but it fol-
lows sort of oval path called an elipse.
In the Northern Hemisphere the earth is now
In such position in this oval pathway that the
suns rays strike the earth more directly than
they did six months ago when it was cold.
Because it strikes straight through the blanket
the air makes around the earth, and not slant
wise as it will when the earth changes its posi-
ton We get the full benefit of the suns heat,
the air is hot, and we have warm weather
