LOVELORN

Jealous Gossip
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Not long ago I met with q
wonderful young college chap.
He is very refined and intelli-
gent and when he comes down
to visit me he likes to come
alone and he wants me not to
have any other girl friends
down.
When We are alone he only
puts his arm around me. I
can see that he cares for me
a great deal. I love this type
Of young man; that is, one who
doesn't pet. If he wanted q
kiss, or the like, I would never
have him come down alone to
see me. Everything sounds
good so far, Decent it? But,
listen!
He keeps calling my girl
chum up. He told me he didn't
care for her. I can't see
through 1t, can you? I Just
can't understand men. My girl
chum doesn't like this type.
She likes the wild kind. What
can do under these circum.
stances? would like to have
him come down again. I enjoy
his company more than any
other gentleman's. I am sure
he doesn't like my girl friend
he likes nice quiet girls like
myself. What would you do,
please, If you were me?
ALICE.
What would I do If I were
you, Alice? Well, for one thing
I would not talk over the
young college chap" with my
girl friend" or any other girl
or young man. His coming to
see you is your affair and his
not theirs! And do not pay
much attention to anything
other girls say about him.
Another thing: Just assume
he is a good friend, but not in
love with you. Why should he
not go about now and then
with other friends as well as
with you? If you are sensible
you will cultivate all your good
friends also-both girls and
young men! If ever the time
comes when he is in love with
you he will let you know soon
enough by o proposal of mar
riage. And your friendship VIII
be pleasanter and last longer II
you refuse to be jealous or dis
turbed about his other friend

need a mask of thickly applied
paint and powder. If you block
your pores with cosmetics, so
that fresh air cannot reach
them, do not be surprised if you
lose your natural color and have
to rely on rouge.
Powder, of course, to take the
shine off, in addition to plenty
of soap and water, will help
keep your complexion beautiful.
You do not need cold cream ex-
cept when your skin becom IS
chapped or burned, unless you
use makeup. Always remove
rouge and heavy powder with
cleansing cream each night, if
you insist on using them.
Keep your hair clear and
glossy and brush it daily. but
let bleaches and dyes alone.

Nowadays, viewer, the
beauty secrets OF the ages are
an open secret, which Miss 1929
may pursue if she will, and
modern science has also made
many important contributions
to the art of being and remain
Ing beautiful. On one point
ancient and modern beauty lore
are agreed: a young girl can
not begin too early in life to
lay a firm foundation for ex-
quiSite, wholesome loneliness,
which is her heritage as
woman.
Fortunately, the average mod
ern girl in her teens naturally
feels like doing just the things
that are best for her health and
beauty. From earliest child
hood she has learned to enjoy
daily, Scrupulous care of her
teeth, brushing them faithfully
every day with a brush and
powder, and making periodic
trips to the dentist for a more
thorough cleansing and inspec-
ton every six months. A dainty
mouth-wash helps insure mouth
cleanliness and sweet breath.
Daily bathing is the delight
OF the modern girl whether i'll
the form of a shower, tub or
Sponge-off, warm or cold-pre-
ferably cold as a final rinse.
She is not overly crazy about
sweets, has no time for parties
II they interfere with her aver
age of nine hours sleep nightly.
A party now and then of course
or a trip to theater or movie is
much to be desired. But the
modern miss in her teens,
whether she is in school or
business, remembers her early
hour of rising in making her
"dates," and she reserves three
or four evenings each week for
rest at home and the beauty
regime.
Sports? Lead her to them!
The modern girl is the straight,
athletic graceful product of a.
lifetime of sports, from roller
skating and jumping the rope
at eight years of age, to dane
ing, swimming, diving. basket
ball and hiking at eighteen.
Miss 1929 keeps track of her
Galleries and remains Symmet-
rical. She likes milk and is &C
cuStomed to plenty Of hearty,
plain food, including fresh vege-
tables. No wonder the genera
ton growing up in our midst
is the loveliest the world has
known.
May warn you OF one or two
dangers to your complexion,
Miss 1929 in your teens? Be very
careful about the cosmetics you
use.
Your skin is naturally like
satin when your health is good.
Keep it so by using only the
simplest and best beauty aids.
You can't be too dainty about
your grooming, but that lovely,
healthy skin of yours does not

WOmen's Wear

A song of the sea is sung by
a lovely sweater designed for

EMPRINCHAM ASKS
RELEASE FROM VOW
Former Head Of Health Educa-

op Manning's Faith

New York, Aug. 23.-(AP)-
Faced with prosecution for practic-
ing medicine without license in his
now defunct health education So
ciety, the Rev. DR.. James Empring-
ham today asked Bishop William T..
Manning Of the Episcopal church to
relieve him. Of holy orders.
In a letter which he addressed to
Bishop Manning from California,
DR.. Empringham attacked Christian
ity as interpreted by the Bishop as q
preposterous lie and a curse and de-
clared he lost faith in the creed Of
the church Is years ago.
He also assailed Bishop Mann
ning's stand against divorce and re-
marriage. DR.. Empringham was re-
Gently divorced in Reno and has re-
married.
The letter said his stand against
prohibition as national secretary Of
the Church Temperance League had
made him . thorn in the side of the
Bishop and other good men and was
one Of the reasons for his resigning
his Christian commission.
He denied that he had practiced
medicine in his health education So
ciety and asserted that the charges
against him were fostered by some
of q dozen surgeons he had dis
charged from the service of the So
ciety. He said he was coming to
New York to face his accusers.

EMBARCOON wheat
SHIPMENTS LIKELY.
MCDONNELL THINKS
Unless Export Demand Picks Up
Terminal Elevators Will
Become Clogged

Statement that an embargo on
wheat shipments is likely in the near
future unless the export demand
picks up was made here today by c.
w. Mcdonnell, chairman Of the
North Dakota state railroad board
and a member of the state transpor-
tation committee of the Northwest
Shippers Advisory Board.
The present situation, he said. Is in
that grain prices encourage local ele-
vators to hold grain at home rather
than sell it. The reason. he said, is
the spread between the price of cash
wheat and the price of futures.
AS rule cash wheat Is higher in
price than futures at this season and
elevator operators ship out wheat as
fast as 1t is received and buy futures
to protect themselves against the de-
mands Of persons holding storage
tickets.
With cash grain lower than fu-
lures. however, each such transaction
results in loss to the elevator opera
tor and the tendency is to hold the
grain in the local elevator.
Under the law, Mcdonnell said. the
railroad board cannot force elevators
to ship out stored grain to make room
for additional deliveries. As result
many elevators in North Dakota will
be blocked within the next few days,
Mcdonnell said. and probably will re-
main blocked until the relation be-
tween cash wheat and future prices
Is restored to normal.
