TEA-TABLE
CHATTER y

Brunettes have harder, more
weather proof compilations than
blondes. though they seldom
nave cheeks as colorful. Blondes
are like delicate tea roses that
fade early, the facial surface be-
ing of finer texture usually, with
more delicate under-tissues.
Brunettes, however, collect
freckles; red heads run them a
close second when it comes to
gathering yaller polka dots.
Light-headed gals must be wary
with the warpaint, but the dash
ing ones with brown eyes and
black hair can get away with
cosmetic murder. That's all
about that.

Perspiration stains are best
treated by allowing the af-

TELL IT TO ELSIE!|
By Elsie Robinson :

wait hopeIessly, with never .
prospect In sight, and I wonder
IL the waiting won't kill our love
anyway. He has honestly tried
hard to find work, but he hasn't
succeeded SO far.
"What do you think? Please
help me. Should we make the
plunge, or ARE the odds too
heavy against happiness?
MILDRED"
Are the odds too great?
No, If you have the character
to back them, Milly. The happi-
ness of marriage depends far
more on character than it does
on circumstances.
Thousands Of young people
have married In poverty and
made good. Other thousands
have married in riches and
failed.
It depends on your own indi.
vidual and united devotion ana
gumption.
From a brief survey, Ben
looks fairly long on devotion,
but short on gumption. It
seems hardly reasonable to be-
lieve that a brisk young man
can't find a. job in two years -
if he really wants to find one.
Are you quite sure that this
Ben of yours isn't just a drift
ing dreamer with a wishbone
where his backbone ought to
be?
If he is, your changes OF
happiness with him are prob
ably nil.
Living and working, side by
side, through poverty and hard
ship, can be a glorious, gallant
adventure, Mildred. But only
if both of you do your part.
Only if both Of you have the
will to work and to climb. >.
to bear with trouble and to
laugh it off.
So be sure that the Boy
Friend actually does have the
get-up-and-get-'ern to make q
place for himself in the world.
And if he does, the rest de-
pendS on you, Mildred. It de-
pends on how much grit and
judgment and gallaptness and
resourcefulness there is in you
How much courage YOU
have.
The working wife carries a
double load. If she's cheerful
and efficient and healthy, she
can manage home, before the
children come, Just as well as
her domestic sister. Indeed,
the working wife often makes
the brighter, more stimulating
comrade. $50 don't take your
girl friends' advice too seri-
ously. They may be making
alibis for their own laziness by
seeming to warn you against
possible danger.
That's what I think, Mildred.
And noW-how about it, gang?
You've watched both the team
hold jobs? Perhaps you're part
of such a team? Does it work?
Does the working wife destroy
her husbands ambition? Does
she necessarily neglect her
home?

CHAPTER ".
It was after three when
: Robin Dale arrived at his apart
ment at Seventy Second Street
close to the Drive. It was really
. an unusually comfortable suite
of five rooms furnished quite
elegantly and in extreme
good taste. There were two ex-
ira bedrooms beside Dale's own
room. One of these was fur
l1ished as a library and was
his favorite room. The walls
were lined with bookcases which
were filled with the literature
Of every period, rare first edi-
tionS, classics, complete sets

of the middle and latter nine
teentI1 century.

twice a week; no use Dragging

THE BEAUTY
BOX
BY Helen Follett.

Certain hair dyes not only so
change the structure of the hair
shaft that it will not take the
permanent wave, but they make
the wave hazardous; the hair
may come out any color from
green to taupe, from red to pur-
pie. Pure henna does not dis
duality the topknot from con-
tact with the hair-hoiling ma
chine; neither do certain re-
storatives. A test curl will settle
the question, with no harm done.
Little dollieS dabbling around

not play pass the lipstick.
You see them at it in public con-

Ills Last performance : Another ast" Mystery : ARTF

Here's a subject that's good
for a battle over any dinner
table. I bet dad doesn't turn
on the radio while this Is in
progress.
Should a young couple marry
without a settled future?
It's Mildred's problem. It's
also the problem of thousands
of love-lorn young ladies and
penniless young gentlemen.
Ben's the finest fellow on
earth. but he has no job, no
savings, no prospects. Mildred
can works working. And she
and Ben can afford to marry
if she'll continue working.
But suppose she does? Won't
that wreck all possible ambi-
ton in Ben? Or won't 1t re-
suit in a slatternly, uncom-
Portable home from which any
man would flee in disgust.
Any way she turns. the fu.
ture looks pretty dark to little
Milly. So she's turning to US
in despair.
Dear Elsie:
"I'm asking for some of your
good advice, and / hope yOu'n
have time to give me a little.
I'm just up a stump myself.
IL have been going with .
boy for two years now. He is
everything that a girl could
ever want except for one i'm
pOrtant thing. He hasn't q
steady job, and he hasn't been
able yet to save anything to-
ward getting our future home.
Il really do love Ben, and he
Is a prince in every other way
but that. But much as I love
him and appreciate his good
points, ! wonder sometimes if
he will ever get anywhere
And / wonder If I'm being fair
to Ben when I think of marry
ing him under the circum-
stances. I've heard so much
about love flying out of the
window when poverty comes in
at the door, that sometimes /
feel afraid that if / did marry
him, I'd be putting such a bur.
den on him, or on myself, that
it might spoil our marriage.
"Or do you think / could
continue after marriage? Does
it ever work out satisfactorily
to have the wife continue work
ing? Don't you think it is
better for her to be able to
stay at home? The married
girls I know who don't work
feel that no working wife Is
treating her husband right, as
she cannot, of course, spend
much time cooking or looking
out for his comfort. What do
you think about it?
81 know that If / married Ben
now / would have to keep on
working. Ben says positively
that he doesn't want me to
work, but my parents aren't
financially able to help us till
we could get on our feet, and
neither are his, so either I'D
have to work or we would be
terribly poor. Do you think
our love could stand the strain
of that?

do love him, and often / feet
like going ahead and getting
married and trusting to luck to
pull US through. Then Ben
says, I can't marry you when ]

STEEL OUTPUT GOES
TO LOWEST LEVEL OF
1890; FUTURE is BAD
Bosses Story About Recovery Hit By Fact That
Ford Extends LayOff
N. Y. Iron Dealers Say They Don't Need Many
Fingers to Count Orders

Reports from the steel industry
show a sharp turn downward in the
present crisis. Every time steel
drops, contrary to the capitalist pre-
dictions, the journals of the steel
bosses come out with such slop as:
Iron Age) "The opinion is gaining
ground that industrial reaction is at
its worst and that the only possi-
bic change is for the better, but
actual gains in mill bookings are
too small and too scattered to be
significant and steel ingot output
is unchanged at Sc per cent for the
third week"
In short, all tn steel bosses say:
Things are so bad they can't get
worse" We've heard this story
before. Hoover, Lamont, Klein and
Green peddled it months ago. We
haven't forgotten the magic sixty
day prediction-which failed.
For instance, as proof that steel
production will pick up, a dispatch
from Youngstown, Ohio, to the
journal of Commerce July pa
states:
Ford Motor Co. is commencing
to order steel sheets and strips, for
manufacturing operations when it
resumes July 28."
Only one little fact is left out.
That is, Ford will not open on July
