far the most important feature
is the collar, applied in Ha-

fur. And a little fur belt to
match, ending in tiny tabs at
the fastening. Around $3.50.
That's less than you'd expect,
isn't it?
Bands Of Caracul

wool alone, though we'll admit
it's Sportier that way than any
other. It makes a silk dress
just a mite more formal, If it's
the right kind of fur, put on in
the right places.

black caracul can do for silk
crepe dress. OF course, the
dress is pretty nice in itself.

silk scarf and a big white COM

of fur at the hipline helps to
make it look more two-piece

Company in the Kitchen
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Company in the Kitchen
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am going to ask your ad-
vice on something that isn't
about love. But I think you
can help me as you have many
others. l am II years old.
We have a business so we have
only one room in which to re-
ceive company. The other
night my girl friend and her
boy friend came to see me
and 1 had to receive them in
the kitchen. It was very en-
barrassing. My father is al
ways sitting in the dining room.
1 wish you could tell me OF
some way to get him out, or
would you say something to
him? He is always talking
about girls meeting fellows on
the corner and saying how bad
it looks. What can he eX-
pect? DISSATISFIED.
It seems to me the better
plan Is to ask father to "have
a heart" and let you and your
friends have the dining room
occasionally. Why not yet your
mother to talk to him?
Mothers, by rem in d IN 6
fathers that once on a time
they were young, have been
known to work miracles in
cases like yours.
The Washington times., 1931-09-09

And don't we know it's fall
with fur-trimmed dresses on the
street! And aren't we glad it's
time to buy one, after wanting
to for weeks. Other new
things may turn out to be just
as thrilling, but a bit of fur
trim is the Surest way to feel
fall-minded. Nothing else will
take your thoughts as quickly
off the heat that fingers on.
It's good that fashion likes a
fur-trimmed dress so well this
season, when it's just the thing
we'd want to have, regardless.
Such q Job
There wasn't a bit Of time
lost finding two we liked
enough to buy. The only
trouble was we kept on finding
more. And maybe you think it
wasn't q job choosing three
from all we saw to illustrate
for an idea Of what they're
like. Most any dress we could
have picked would do as well,
but the ones sketched above
show three different ways of
using that touch Of fur, and
three of the incest furs that
could be used. And that's not
all. Three new and altogether
different types Of dresses, suit
able for wear on any number
of occasions.
StenciIed Lapin Bow
The first sketch shows a real
coat dress. It's an ideal type
to have for early fall-aS we
remember from seasons past.
The long diagonal line Of clos
ing in this model has a slender
izing effect-one of the best.
There's no. collar, but a flat
band Of self material stitched
all around the neckline, and
the bow Of stenciled. lapin is
inserted through the band. 1t
may have a leopard look, but
that's lapin on the cuffs, too.
Of course. A narrow. tailored
leather belt is the extra touchs
matching the color Of the dress.

surd I've told you all about
him. He is just a friend"
"a friend" he said, shrewdly,
who makes you tremble, whom
your eyes follow in fear, before
whom you alternately pale and
flush. Come, will not believe
it. Is there anything troubling
you? Is it that he, perhaps,
knows of that time in Hawaii?
Oh, don't draw away from me,
Evelyn! Tell me the truth. Is
the man threatening you with
the exposure Of what was SIM
ply an idiotic eScapade? Be
cause, if so, the remedy lies in
your own hands. You have but
to tell him simply and at once
that I and my mother are
aware of the matter. Or-was
there something you didn't tell
me concerning it?"
And if there was?" she
asked, simply fighting for time.
"As if that would matter!
Nothing would matter. Not even
if you told me you had loved
another man once and been
to him what what you can
never be to me-" he suggested.
"I did love another man once.
AS girls love, quite unthink-
ingly. But II was nothing to
him. Nothing - important. I
swear that. I've always been
my own" she said, strangely.
"I've never belonged to some
one Slse."
Not The Man
"Was this man. Comman-
der Gaines?" he asked her..

"He was not" she said. Il

you, who now annoyS you by
his opportunities? OF course,
Gill! I was blind not to have

She did not answer. She
could not. 1t was true. And
yet it was untrue.
"Oh, Evelyn" Collin said,
with a more complete loss Of
Self-control than she had ever
witnessed in him, Il have been
a blundering idiot. And I have
used this man as an excuse to
stay here longer. an excuse
to be near you. should, I
realize, have gone long ago.
Perhaps I should have run from
you that very first day in the
rose garden. when we quar-
relied, and when, against my
will, I fell in love with you. :"
he said, trying to speak more
lightly, "but it was-Kismet. I
suppose. II fancy that per-
hapS my thinking you were
afraid of Gill and wanting to
stay near and protect you, was
all romanticizing. If, as I now
believe, you were once in love
with him and are no longer,
that would, of course, account
for your attitude when with
him, your reluctance. 1t is a
situation which is not unusual
and you are capable of hand
ling it yourself. So nothing re-
mains for me except-to go
away. -"

Melancholy Married Man


Dear Miss Fairfax:
I graduated from high school
in June. I have met a man
whom I dearly love, but he is
married. have been seeing him
at least twice a week and some
times oftener.
Recently I told him could
not see him any more, that I
was afraid people would talk if
they found it out, and they will
if I keep going with him.
It has been three days since
I have seen him and don't
know what to do without him.
He and his wife don't get
along at all, but l don't think
he is going to leave her on &C
count of their child.
Please help me, Miss Fairfax,
and suggest a way that will
make him leave, or me to for
get. DESPERATE.
The only sensible thing to do
when you find yourself really
falling in love with a married
man is to QUIT. That may
sound unSympathetic, but it will
save trouble in the long run.

REMOVE THEM

Adding their voice to the general
clamor against a proposed bill be-
fore the state legislature barring
married women whose husbands are
holding positions from working III
state, county or city offices, women
employees in the county court house
have signed a petition portesting
against the bill, and recommending
that it be defeated.
A similar petition is being circu-
lated about Ell Centro for the sigma
lures OF taxpayers here.
When completely signed it will be
forwarded to Myron d. Witter for
presentation to the state legislature
Like action is being taken in almost
every city in California, declared
the women who are sponsoring the
petition.
The bill to be considered by the
legislature would bar married wom-

state, county or city unless their
husbands are unable to earn enough
to support them. The bill applies
even to married women holding civ
il service positions in California.
Sponsors OF the petition here de-
clared yesterday afternoon that q
bill such as is contemplated by the
legislature would deprive many
women of long experience of jobs,
and place in office many who are
incompetent and inexperienced.

HOOVER PRAISES
SPLENDID WORK
OF BOY SCOUTS

In tribute TO Scouting and good
! wishes to the Boy Scout movement
President Hoover, honorary presi-
dent of the Boy Scouts of America
has just called attention to the 2lst
anniversary of the Boy Scouts of
America, which was celebrated Sun
day, February 8. the date being that
on which the Boy Scout movement
was incorporated in Washington,
D. c., in 1910
President Hoover, like all his pre-
decessors in office since Scouting
was organized, has been the hon.
orary president of the organization
and has in addition demonstrated a
continuing interest in, and friend
ship for the movement.
The president IS letter said.
"Boyhood is the period of devel-
opment. BY the time he comes OF
age a boy has acquired, in body,
| brain, and character, the tools he
must use in life. His work and
play, his love OF camping and knowl-
edge of nature, his courage, his
srortsmanship, his desire TO serve
his fellow men, have become q part
of him, of what he will always be.
Scouting, too, has come of age
Through 81 years it has summoned
youth to the great adventure of lof-
ty living. As the twenty first year
marks youth s formal passage to le-
gal maturity, SO the coming of the
twenty-first year of the Boy Scout
movement in America marks its en-
try into an era of maturer service
l hope 1t may continue through
years OF increasing usefulness to
realize that deep love of humanity
that eagerness to make life fuller
and sturdier, that is the very core
of democracy ITSELF
Walter H. Newton, secretary to
President Hoover, was one of the
first of the group of former Scouts
and Scout leaders to participate in
the 2lst Boy Scout anniversary
Round up of one time Scouts
and Scout leaders.
On Monday, January 10, Mr.. New
ton, who first joined as an associate
Scout in Minneapolis in 1912, was
presented as token of his former
Scout activities, with a miniature
