How does the daily bath aid
your loneliness? A daily scrub
with pure, bland soap, warm
water and a good bathbrush will
refresh your skin marvelously
and will clear the pores from &C.

which otherwise would cause a
poor complexion and interfere with
bodily daintiness. The cool rinse
tones the skin and firms and
closes pores!
II a daily tub is an extrava.
gance you cannot manage, either
from lack of time or water, give
yourself a quick shower, first
rubbing your body we'll with soap
suds. The scrub, shower and
vigorous rundown need not take
more than five minutes.
In case a shower is out of the
question, indulge in one of the
needle shower bath brushes, which
combine the advantage of a brush
and a portable shower and give a
fine, invigorating shower and
rinse to the body.
Your face needs soap and water,
provided you exercise sufficiently

do every day. Try the plan of
washing your face, neck and ears
gently but thoroughly with a
clean Turkish toweling wash.cloth,
warm water and the purest of
medicated soap. Rinse them we'll

Here is weekend idea that
seems to us very much worth
trying. Certainly one should
extend the pleasure of hot. fresh,
homemade rolls as far as possible
since one doesn't make them
every day. With this plan you
have hot rolls for Saturday dinner,
a filled coffee ring for Sunday
breakfast and Dutch apple cake
for Sunday night supper. It's
a genuine bargain in recipes.
Make the sweet dough founda-
ton from this recipe: cake dry

cups liquid, cups bread flour, "
cup sugar, 2 eggs, teaspoons
salt and " cup shortening. Soak
the yeast in the lukewarm water
about an hour. Sift the flour once
before measuring. Add 2 table,

FUTURISTIC
MUSIC

Schelling is responsible for the
saying that architecture is frozen
music. Just what he meant by
this epigrammatic contradition is
not certain; but he did not write
with our architecture in the back
of his mind. Had he seen the
American skyscrapers Of 1929 he
might have called them frozen
jazz, for IL q national style such
as that of the Italian Renaissance
expresses a predominating musical
characteristic of the age, certainly
to an equal extent American sky
scrapers express an important
musical trait of their country.
Primitive music and elemental
forms; violent noises and strong
colors, regular un h n g n g
rhythm; they mount story on

DEAR MRS. BEEcKMAN:

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Recently I met young man who
claims he loves me. He told my
parents and they are willing to ac-
cept him as a son. How shall l
go about meeting his family?
Should he take me to his home
first, or should my parents invite
his parents in for dinner and an
nounce our engagement then?
According to the long-ago-laid-
down tradition for this situation, 1t
is the charming duty of the mother
and father OF the groom.to-be to
go at once to visit the fiancee of
their son-if possible within "a
hours after they have been told
the happy news by their son. This
call is most important, naturally,
since they are welcoming into
their family their new daughter.
Naturally, too, they should make
this visit as soon as possible, so
that they register the greatest
land quickest) enthusiasm. If this
visit is not made by the time that
you read this, talk over the mat
ter with your fiance, and tell him
that you would like very soon to
meet his parents. It would be best
IL they make the call, but If you
see that this is perhaps not in
their mind because they think that
you should come first to see them,
then ask your fiance to take you
to call on them. After that you
and your mother may, il you wish
to, arrange to have them dine at
your home.
