CLOTHES FOR
COLLEGE

What Peggy should wear away
to college is quite q problem,
particularly so, az this Is her first
year. Peggy IL too excited for
once to think much about clothes,
but mother is having her worries.
Perhaps. however, she may read
the advice given by a college girl
in the current issue of the
Parents Magazine. If 80, her
worries are over.
Perhaps the most useful article

the 'slicker,'" says this writer.
Then there is the matter Of coats.
The wise young lady of only
moderate means, who can afford
one every season, alternates her
coats-dress coat one season and
sport coat the next. The en-
semble, with its light-wool, semi
tailored coat and harmonizing
dress of either silk or wool, fills
in many gaps during the spring

shoes to go with her afternoon
dresses, and evening slippers. For
classroom wear, sweaters and
skirts are probably in greatest
favor. Jersey and light.wool
dresses rival the sweater and skirt
in appeal. In addition to a jersey
or two. she should have a dress
for afternoon wear. This may be
of georgette, chiffon. or velvet.

a grave mistake. Anne will give,
perhaps. but there will always be
the memory of an unpleasant
emotional situation tied in with the

strive to create in a child's heart
before we try to implant a habit,
is the desire to mold that habit.
The habit itself is less than worth
less, unless a child wants to do
the right thing.
The only true unselfishness in

REMOVING

Spots on silk crepe. caused by
drops Of water, according to a
writer in Successful Farming,

of the cloth when it dries with
piece of the same material.
II have removed spots of con.
siderable size in this way" she
says. from very delicately tinted
silks: When there are many
spots, they may often be removed
by steaming that material. The
best way to steam a large gar
ment, such as dress or coat, Is to
hang the garment in the bath
room. turn on the hot water until
the room is steam-filled, and let
the garment hang until the room
cools. Shaking, brushing, and
pressing the garment should re.

Celebrating the Golden Wedding
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
There is a discussion in our
family. Mother and father are
celebrating their golden wedding.
On the same day a niece of ours
expects to get married and my
parents want the wedding to be
celebrated on the same night as
their golden wedding. You will do
us a great favor by giving us
your opinion. Some say that the
sacredness of the golden wedding
will be taken away by the young
couples wedding, and instead of
the old couple being in the lime.
light. the young couple will be the
center of attraction, and this is
too sacred an occasion to share
even by a. grandchild's wedding.
Would it be all right for the
young couple to be married be-
tween four and five o'clock and
the older couples ceremony be.
tween six and eight. or should the
older couple be first? H. e.
In my opinion such a sacred and
important event as a golden wed.
ding should be, kept quite sepa-
rate from any other occasion that
might steal the limelight, as you
say, from this event. II there is
wedding on this same day, of
course that will take precedence
In interest, and think that this
Is selfish thing to do.
OF course the older couple would
probably be too delicately man.
nered to object to such a plan,
but why not have two occasions,
giving each its own importance?
The last idea of having the occa.
sions at different times of the day
does not seem to me to help mat
ters much.

door life Of sun and air baths
The more OF an outdoor per.
son you look to be, the more
fashionable you will be-and, of
course, the more beautiful! Even
though you can't manage FASH
ionable tan. outdoor life will
give you the look of radiant
health that present-day stand
srds demand. Your eyes will be
bright, your hair of natural
ldstre. your color clear and vivid.
The essential thing is to get
all the good, none of the bad
effects from sun-baths. Don't
remain in sunshine too hot to
be comfortable. You are likely
to burn your skin If you do.
And burns from the sun are
Just as painful and injurious as
any other kind of burns.
Even cold cream or oil will
not protect your skin il the sun
Is blazing hot, for the fiercely
hot sunlight will merely sizzle
the oil, making the burn that
much worse.
Moderate sunlight is delightful
extremely hot sunlight is
menace alike to your health and
good looks, and may bring seri-

TO remain too much in the SUM-"
Backless bathing suits and low
backed sport frocks, also the
sleeveless and stockingless mode,
are, in their appropriate place,
splendidly healthful, for they give
fresh air free access to a large
portion of the skins surface. The
pores absorb oxygen, which tones
and invigorates them, while lung
fuls of fresh air feed and firm

Try to enjoy your hours in the

wish an even coat of tan, 1t must
be acquired gradually.
The girl who freckles rather
than tans, should take her sun
baths still more moderately. She
will get more benefit from indi.
rect sunlight, protected by a beach
umbrella or the cool shade of a
tree or rock.
Deeper shades in compilations
call for deeper shades or make
up. Pale powder on a tanned or
burned complexion is ludicrous.
Choose the rouge that matches
your deeper natural color. Liquid
tan powder goes on smoothly and
looks natural.
By the way, in acquiring
natural tan, be sure to get an
even coat. A fringe of bangs
blown about by the wind or an
open-work design on your frock,
may result in striped zebra or
checkered effect in your sun:tan,
which is more startling than
beautiful. Always apply cold
cream generously at night, to

Of tan are doubly rich and
beautiful against the deep, pure
colors that are being worn this
summer and which promise to be
even more popular in the early
fall.

PERPETUAL
BEAUTY

No Towering plant that will
stand Northern winters is more
enduring than the peony, coun-
sells Edward C. Wick in Peoples
Home Journal. He finds that
plants have flourished in one To-
cation for 80 or 40 years.
Autumn" he writes, ''is the
best time to plant peonies. A
i 'ch, heavy soil that has been
previously we'll fortified and con.
tains plenty of thoroughly we'll
decayed animal and vegetable
matter is best for them. Mate
rial such as stable manure should
not be used in the soil just be-
fore planting. If the soil seems
too heavy it may be lightened by
adding sand or sifted coal ashes.
Good drainage is essential. Set
the plants three feet apart each
way, with the crowns not less
than three inches under the sur
face. 1t takes time for peony
plants to become established and
produce their best flowers. Do
not expect perfection the first
season after planting"
