walk between the girls.

3. No! This should never be

4. The bride, or her parents,
buy the flowers for the brides
maids. It is customary for the
attendants to buy their own at
tire, all of the details too, and
these are bought according to
the brides suggestions and
plans. Only occasionally, when
the bride is very rich and very
generous, do we hear of her
buying the attires of her at

''SHOW-OFF"
CHILDREN
BY Constance Cameron

BY Constance Cameron
0F course, it is only natural
" to think that our child is
Just little bit brighter, a little
bit more clever, or Sweeter
than any other living young
Fter.
: But, let us, in all fairness to
the child keep the belief a
secret within our hearts to a
sensible degree.
I have in mind a friend who
went through the grades and
high school with me. She was
q lovely girl and has become a
charming woman and an excel
lent little mother. But as a
child she was cordially hated
by most Of the girls at school,
simply because of the attitude
Of her mother.
When we went to her house
for a club meeting or a little
party we were regaled during
the whole time with the won
ders Of May. Mays new dress
was quite the latest thing;
Mays marks in school were
without p doubt, quite superior
to any Of ours (although the
mother never took the pains to
inquire just what ours were).
/ FAY took vocal lessons and in
a thin, little ''parlor" voice was
made to sing for our entertain
ment.
can now see where May
was as embarrassed at these
exploitationS of her ordinary
accomplishments as we were.
AS a matter Of fact I think she
suffered more than any one
else, for it ended in Mays he
Ing sadly alone ana mnoticed
with the thorough cruelty that
growing Youngsters can often
display to each other.
Here is a good example of
hurting child while trying to
do just the opposite. Tact
should be used when praiSing
our own. And it is only 9ra-
cious to comment upon the
prowess of the children who
are guests, rather than on our
own when they entertain.
Believe in your child, but do
not get him in wrong" with
his comrades by undue praise
before them.

RIGS imaginable. Silk crepe and
ninon. always in supple, drap-
able quality, are the most IA
vored materials that we've
found in the new lingerie.
Chemises and slips are usu-
ally made with princess lines,
the waist normal, the hips
fitted closely. Step-ins follow
the same general effect, flared
or falling from a yoke top that
eliminates extra material about
the waist.
The petticoat has returned,
and is made in the same man.
ner, full below a yoke top,
sometimes made wrap-around.
1t is a favorite to wear with
tuck-in types, and also is the
normal thing to wear with
backless evening gowns.
Colors in lingerie are the
delicate pastels, never blatant
or glaring. Flesh is still the
taVorite, peach in pale tones is
popular, and a new tint called
banana heart is gaining favor.
White is also becoming more
popular than it has been for
some time.
Alencon lace is the trimming
found most often, in natural or
dark tones. Bretagne lace is
smart also. Colored embroidery
in very dainty designs appears
on some of the finest French
and domestic handmade lingerie
as does applique in contrasting
tones.
The vogue for handmade
underthings is enormous, and
seems to be increasing every
day, especially now that it is
made in this country, in the
Philippines and Porto Rico, and
is so reasonable in price that
nearly anyone can afford it.
NightgownS also follow the
new lines, princess, or fitted
with a belt, usually dipped in
the back after the fashion of
uneven hemlineS of evening
gowns. A great many of the
finest gowns are now accom-
panied by a matching coat,
usually three-quarter length,
which creates a luxurious loung-
ing ensemble.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

OCo1 IM1os oCSCh1IldAs
l. When young man and his
parents take a girl away from
home to football game and re-
main there over night, shouldn't
the girl pay, or at least offer to
pay, for her share of the ex-
penses? I offered, but they
wouldn't listen to it!
2. When two people, who have
just been introduced, part, is it
necessary after one has said,
I'm very glad to have met you,"
for the other one to repeat it?
Isn't Just thank you" sufficient?
3. Does man sit on the right
or left of a lady?
4. When four are seated at a
square dinner table in a cafe or
restaurant, do the women sit
opposite each other, or does one
man sit opposite a lady?
5. I have been going with a
young man for two years. When
I ask him to a bridge or dance
where there are tickets, should
I pay for the tickets because I
ask him, or after this length of
time should he pay for them,
even though I ask him to go and
it is I who have the tickets?
P.S.
The young mans parents had
undoubtedly had pleasure in
planning to be your hosts at
the football game, and there
fore naturally they planned on
paying your expenses. How
ever, there are many ways in
which you can return this
charming courtesy and hospi-
tality. There will occur to you
some attractive gift that you
can send them when you write
the note of thank you.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

/ am old enough to have men
friends and I went out with
one Of them quite a number
Of times. He could not come
to see me often, but he wrote
very loving letters to me. I
would answer these letters in
kind way, but they must
have seemed very cold to him.
Then he stopped writing. Later
I heard from reliable sources
that he loved me dearly and
still does. What shall I do?
He told a friend OF mine that
l did not care for him, that
was why he had stopped call
ing. How can I let him know
that / care for him, and al
ways did? BETH.
Why don't you write him a
nice friendly little note and
say you haven't seen him for,
some time and would he care
to come in for a cup of tea
or to supper, or something Of
the sort. If it is not conven-
lent to ask him to q meal in
vite him to call, or arrange q
little party to go to the movies.

OF course, the fine, closely
fitted lines Of a gown can be
spoiled just as easily by bulky
underthings as they can by the
wrong figure. So, in buying
your spring wardrobe, consider
your slips, panties and cl emises
before you spend all your
money, for you may need some
new undies to complete, the
costume.
The most important thing to
look for is silhouette. Things
simply must fit about the
waist and hips without wrinkles
or bulkiness, for there's not
half-inch of space to spare.
And they're of the softest fab

When you say Thank you" in
appreciation of this friendly
statement that the other per-
son lis glad to have met you"
you still have not indicated
that you too have found pleas

meeting. So, to be gracious
and appreciative, you would

pecting that liquor was being
carried.

United States residents return

period regardless Of the amount
involved, the Customs Bureau

The ruling was made at the re-

case Of an American tourist who
bought $50 worth of articles in
Canada and was granted free
entry upon his return. Three
weeks later the same tourist on q

free entry with $50 in souvenirs
under the clause permitting an
