TIMELY ADVICE

R. H. Ballard, president of the Southern California
Edison Company, Los Angeles, sad
More business is what we need and not so
much talk of depression Spent the money busi-
campaigns and advertising and the results will
be surprising The people have the money and will buy
goods believe if somebody has the to tell them
the buying idea"
He points to increases in savings deposits gains in
life insurance in force and increased buying of bonds
evidence of the ability of consumers to buy goods if
they so desire Affected however by the pessimistc
drift of national comment the public is reluctant buy
and consequently is building up tremendous backlog of
purchasing power
This backlog should and can be tapped, declared Mr.
Ballard if American business snap of apathe
tic state of mind employ redoubed efforts to produce
business.

The CLASSY eyes were fixed

an approving smile.

Mirror Maze

They were whisked upward in
an elevator that seemed to
mount without sound or motion.
Raquel found herself in a room
as big as the lobby of the Hotel
Brixton. A room with sand-col-
ored walls, Sand-colored carpets,
a scattering of yawning sand
colored chairs. Through an open
door she caught what she took
to be room of mirrors. The
walls were lined Solidly with
them.

Grave Fears

"Are you sure I will do?"
Raquel asked dubiously. Sup
pose she should fail to please
this important client? She
might then be dismissed. There
would be no Paris. ITS all so
new to me-"
You can be perfect, if you
will" Alphonse nodded like one
who is convinced he has made
a wise decision. The client
now cultivates your type. Last
year she followed the school of
Titan. Such reds l have never
seen in a coiffure. This year
she elects the exotic. With her
face-I tell you the transforma-
tion is fearful and wonderful to
behold. But you shall see for
yourself"
All afternoon in the private
salon of Alphonse, Raquel
swayed or strutted or fell into
graceful poses while the dresses
she wore were rejected or sent
away to be packed in trunks.
Later the trunks would be trans
ported to the Park Avenue home
Of the important client where
they would be unpacked by an
expert and their contents hung
in order for the private showing.
'Take a good rest tonight,
cherie," Alphonse advised her
when the last gown had been
carried away, 80 that you will
be fresh for the morning"
Raquel followed his advice
rigidly.

from its extent, it could be
nothing less.

Advice to LOvelOrn
By Beatrice Fairfax.

This is the season of the year
when the fur coat-bought in
the first enthusiasm of autumn
and still perhaps carrying a tri-
file on the red side of the ledger
looks like an abomination of
desolation hanging in the
clothes closet.
The offense Of the unfortu-
nate garment is complete if, per
haps, we catch a moth hover
ing, and joined to the outrage
of a balance due there looms
the fear of a moth.
Send the coat to cold storage,
or put it in mothprOof bag,
if that's your way. and 60 on to
the next thing with all the cheer
you can master.
A great many letters coming
to me on the same subject have
suggested 4 parable, allegory, or
whatever you choose to call a
homely setting forth of text

else. And the way fur coat
looks during these late days of
spring, when the thermometer
begins to climb around the
eighties. might stand for the
way different members of the
same family get on each others
nerves when the weather begins
to warm up.
Mother is apt to treat herself
to few post mortemS. She is
given to vain regret-if father
had not done this. or if he had
done that, such a thing could
not have possibly happened.

A Vision

Less than Is minutes passed
before there trailed through
the room of mirrors such a
vision of exotic lovelineSs as
drew exclamations of wonder,
of incredulity from AlphonSe
and another occupant of the
sand-colored room. Raquel,
swathed in flowing lengths Of
Chiffons edged with the cost
liest chinchilla. The sable
smoke of her hair rising above
a calyx of flesh pinks and

skin luminous in its clarity.

jewels of excitement and de-

Raquel heard a voice gasp,
"the creature can't be real!"
Slowly Raquel turned her
head toward the speaker. AS
lily might turn its face to
the sun. She felt a prickly
sensation. The sensation of
one who. unsuspectingly, takes
hold of the handles of an
electric battery.
She was gazing at a carica

"I-I-thought I was seeing

bewildered.
Had she schemed for days,
Raquel could not have hit
upon words more gracious,
more grateful to the client OF
Alphonse.
Mrs. Bosart pounced on her
with little cackle of delight.

absurd attempt to be coy. Il

CORRECT
MANNERS
MRS. Cornelius Beeckman.
The Five O'clock Wedding
DEAR MRS BEECKMAN:

AHC Five u OIOCh Heuulnk
DEAR MRS BEECKMAN:
Will you kindly answer the
following questions in your
column? AS you give such
definite answers, I am going to
do everything you tell me to do,
as I know it will be right.
/. When a wedding is to take
place in a minister's home at
$50 on Sunday, what color
shoes and stockings are to be
worn by the bride, who is to be
dressed in a light blue dress and
hat?
2. What kind of suit is to be
worn by the groom and best
man, a regular street suit, or
tuxedo?
3. What kind of flowers would
you suggest, as the wedding is to
be next month and the brides
maid is to wear a blonde out
fit? Would you suggest a regu-
lar corsage or bridal bouquet?
4. Is it proper for the bride,
groom, best man and brides
maid to leave the brides home
together, or should the groom
and best man go direct to the
minister's home?
Thank you!
ANXIOUS.
l. With this costume why not
wear flesh-colored stockings and
a pair of the new blue kid shoes
of exactly the same shade as the
dress? Or the bride could wear
blonde shoes and stockings
2. The men Of the party, when
the bride is wearing this in
formal costume, would wear dark
business suits, probably dark
blue. The tuxedo suits would
be entirely wrong. Five-thirty
is the time of a day wedding,
and tuxedo suits are for eve
ming, after 7 o'clock.
3. With an informal costume,
such as this bride is to wear,
usually a corSage is worn.
Three or four gardenias make
a charming corsage for such a
costume, and so do small pink
roses combined with lilies of the
valley. Light-colored sWeetpeas,
combined with lilies of the val
ley are effective, too. Or, if you
wish to have a more exotic bou-
quet, white or light yellow or
Chids are gloriously beautiful
but expensive. Yellow roses,
also combined with valley lilies.
are beautiful and charming with
blue.
4. The groom and his best
man should go from the groom's
home to- the minister's home,
meeting the bride and her party
there. The bride, her father
and mother and her bridesmaid
should go together from the
brides home.

TEA-TABIE
CHATTER

Ill-fitting shoes are respon-
sible for flat-foot. Flat-foot-
ers don't walk properly; they
come down first on the heel,
instead of on the ball of the
foot. Any discomfort in ones
pedals should have attention
from a specialist: foot ills sell
dom cure themselves, and often
the whole trouble can be cor
rected by proper shoeing and
better posture.
Note the high-kickerS on the
stage. They have trim ankles.
The muscles there are tight
and taut, well-toned, elastic.
Unless the ankle bulk is caused
by thick bones, it can be re-
duced and made to take on
slender lines. Lift up on the
toes and down again. Toe
dancing develops the calves of
the legs, but it slenderizes
ankles.
The woman with the over
developed bust can reduce easily
enough; all she has to do is to
find a river or lake, get a boat
and go rowing. The movements
of the armstrong, muscular
movements-necesSary for pro-
pelling a boat tightens up those
muscles that go scooting round
from chest to shoulders, from
shoulders to back. Bathing with
cold salt water helps.
To presto-change a double
chin into a single one-anoint
with a heavy cream, pick up
the flesh between thumb and
first finger and roll firmly,
Follow with an ice rub, and
then dab on an astringent:
witch hazel serves excellently
as a skin tightener, especially
if applied very cold.

THE BEAUTY BOX
BY Helen FOllett,

Some women select a certain
complexion powder because
they fancy the color; others,
because they fancy the box in
which the powder is packed.
Yet, the important matter is
the weight or consistency of
this necessary element of the
toilet table. The fair, delicate
skin should have powder as
light as the dust from but
terfly'S wing. The coarSer.
heavier complexion requires a
heavy powder in which a GER
tain amount of oil is incorpo-
rated. Powder should be ap-
piled first to the chin and
patted on upward toward the
eyes.
Women who live in hotels,
who are not muscularly active,
should join a gym class, There
is danger of developing the
hotel shape, which shows too
much hip spread. Active mus
cles keep fat cells from taking

Two weeks after the break
led and lost by Butch, Morgan
stood before Warden James
Adams. The official was busy
singing some papers, and
Morgan stood at attention for
moments. His arm was slung
up, his body was stiff with casts,
but he. was in no serious danger.
He had spent ten days in the
hoSpital-the hospital whence
he had taken the gate once.
Finally the warden looked up.
Il sent for you, Morgan to
give you this" he said.
He handed Morgan a docu
ment which was headed:

these"
Morgan nearly fell over irort-

"But-but-" he stammered.
1T means that the Governor,
at my request. has granted you
a complete pardon. You are

Morgan by the hand. Then he
