Sounds preachy, but it is true,
nevertheless, that the founda-
tion of beauty is character.
Domineering women who are al
ways trying to make human be-
ings over, molding them after
their own unattractive patterns,
have faces like bear traps. Nag
gers have naggy mugs. Faces
are in the making all the time.
What a woman is she looks to
be, and he who passes by can
read. The beautiful woman has
warmth and tenderness for all
creatures. She is kind to the
cook and the cat; yea, she is
kind even to her husband!
With chiffon stockings as
sheer as cobwebS, it won't do to
tolerate a growth of fuzzers on
the legs. The growth can be
bleached by an application Of
peroxide; three drops Of am

tablespoonfuls of the bleach.

served q course dinner, q fruit

people in the party ate their

Yes. Since no salac was

was placed to use with the fish
entree. And, after all, the
salad fork is perfectly con-
venient to use when we eat

What your companion says OF
appreciation and thanks to the
hostess and host does not cover
what you feel in the way Of ap-
probation and thanks. Why
don't you speak for yourself,
Mary?" Is the idea here. That
is, you should articulate your
own thanks. Even a husbands
thanks would not include his
wife's thanks, nor hers his.
Both the hostess and the host
should be thanked. But the

RETAILERS WAR
ON RETURN EVIL
Shoe and Furniture Store
Heads Join in Move.

Two retailing groups today
aligned themselves with the Indian
apoIis Merchants Association in a
campaign against abuse of the privi-
lege of returning merchandise.
The Indianapolis Retail Shoe
Dealers Association voted to refuse
to accept shoes kept out Of stores
an unreasonable length of time, or
merchandise that had been used.
The Furniture Association of In
dianapolis, comprising virtually all
dealers in the city, adopted similar
resolution.
Furniture often is purchased, kept
a long time, and then returned,
often in damaged condition, the
dealers said.
Not only do dealers suffer loss
from such returns, but exchange Of
used goods often violates public
health rules, says DR.. Herman c.
Morgan, city health commissioner.
The campaign to reduce merchan-
disc returns was begun today by
both shoe and furniture retailers,
who posted cards bearing notices to
that effect.

WORK ON FARMS
10 DAYS AHEAD
Favorable Weather Is Aid
to Early Planting.

Members of the Indiana farm
bureau from various sections Of the
state report the spring planting
season as approximately ten days
ahead of normal Favorable weather
in March and April made it pos
sible for blowing to be done much
earlier than usual and warm
weather of the past few weeks has
brought about early corn planting.
1t is also reported that seed beds
are usually good this season and
warm rains coming at frequent in
tervals have provided the proper
moisture. Seed corn testing has
prevailed throughout most sections
and it is predicted that stands will
be very satisfactory.
It is estimated the corn acreage
of the state will probably be above
normal because of favorable wealth
err conditions which made early
work possible.
