When Manners Are Correct By Beokmou

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
1-When having personal
cards printed with an address
and telephone number, should
the address be printed in the
center of the card below the
name?
2-If so, where is the tele-
phone number printed?
3-Or does the name stand
alone with the address in one
corner and the telephone num-
ber in the other?
Ais Miss" required, or can
one have simply Mary Anne
Johnson" without the formal
title?? JEAN.
No. The address is engraved
in the lower right corner. The
name is in the center Of the
card. The address is engraved
in the same type as that used
for the name, but the address
type is smaller than that used
for the name.
2-It is not correct to have
the telephone number engraved
on a visiting card. BY no
means should you do this.
(And. by the way, visiting
cards should be engraved, never
printed. 1t is better not to
have visiting cards than to
have them printed.
3-As I have suggested in
answer No. l.
4-The formal title" Miss"
in this case-is required. Even
for quite young girls this is a
rule. A visiting card is a for
NAL detail, one of the most
formal of social details. and
therefore it should be formally
carried out. It is exceptionally
poor form to omit the title. for

THE BEAUTY
BOX
BY Helen FOlIett-

Women who curl up into
knots when they sleep, or sleep
with one hand under the
cheek, are getting themselves
into bad beauty habits. The
proper sleeping posture is one
that does not interfere with
chest expansion. Breathing dur
ing repose is always lighter
than during wakefulness, and
that is one reason why the
shoulders should not be shunt
ed forward. The hand under
the cheek pushes the facial
tissues upward, forming up,
and-down lines and crinkles
around the eyes.
Bandolined be u-catchers
worn abaft the ears are taking
on strange and mysterious de-
signs. They may be fat or
lean, blunt or pointed. They
may appear singly or in family
groups. The idea of having
one ear covered and one ear
exposed is made possible b. a
group of Sculptured curlS in
front of the ear that peers out.
Girls who have grown front
hair and side hair, keeping the
back Shingled, are nov letting
the back grow and d freaky
