Washington Fashions
By WILMA LAVILLE

Last year you were no doubt
envious of the few people you
know who had seersucker
dresses. They were worn by
New Workers, and then they
were seen a good deal at resorts
in Florida during the mid
winter season, but we here in
Washington had to wait until
this summer to buy them. Now
we can enjoy their excellence
for sports and for very hot
weather wear, for they have
many virtues, and besides, are
smart looking. They are still
not numerous, but are in good
fashion standing, and will no
doubt increase in popularity
when real summer weather re-
turns.
Needs No Ironing
In case you've forgotten them
during the years of its absence,
we will enumerate the things
that make seersucker an excel
lent sports fabric. First and
foremost, it washes like the
proverbial rag, and requires
no ironing, unless you want to
wear it on the street, and look
very trim, when a mere smooth
ing out with a warm iron is
enough. The better qualities
have quite a trim, tailored
look, and because there's a thin
stripe and a thick stripe, are
both substantial and cool. The
popularity of stripes this year
gives it extra fashion value,
and it comes in all good colors,
with white.
Some with Shorts
Seersucker is always made
in sports versions this year,
ranging from little shorts and
shirts for tennis or hand ball
on the beach, to the most elabo-
rate frock we have seen, which
is the one we have sketched. 1t is
in green and white, the top
pure white, with new wide revers,
and a scarf of green, with a
little cut-out boat decoration
appliqued on. Notice the clever
epaulet sleeve too. 1t is $5.95
as are many other seersuckers.
Other popular models are two
piece, made shirtwaist fashion
with short sleeves and tailored
collar, the skirt wrapped around
or pleated. The dress sketched
is the only one we've seen with
a bias cut skirt, and any trim
ming other than buttons. Some
frocks have shorts too, so you
can leave off a slip, or wear
the shorts as. play suit.

Your Health and Diet
By Logan Clendening, M. D.

The disease called acne, or in
common language, pimples, az
flicts a goodly portion Of the
human race between the ages
from IL to 30. "AfflictS" Is the
right word. While it never kills,
so far as anyone knows, not
even affects the bodily health
badly, it causes as much mental
anguish and unhappinesS as far
more serious things.
Thi is on account Of the pa.
tents age and the ocation Of
acne, which is usually on the
face. At the very time when
person wants to look the best
during the mating season-this
thing appears on the most con-
spicuous and most-desirable-to-
be-kept beautiful, as the Ger
man may say, part of the
natomy. It makes the victims
self-consciouS and miserable and
unhappy. And if there is added
to this one Of those humorous
brothers-in-law in the household,
the general result borders on
tragedy.
Acne is a disease that is
mostly treated at home; in fact,
mostly self-treated and mostly
overtreated.
In treatment, the condition Of
the skin should receive the great
est amount of the attention.
The super-oily skin should be
treated by gentle cleaning, with
: out irritation, by the use of
tincture of green soap, or if
that is too irritating. an alkaline
cleansing. Tar soap is often
valuable and should not be
avoided on account Of the popu-
lar but erroneous impression
that 1t causes growth Of hair.

was the one who meant to kill!
II uttered a positive protest.
I told her would not do what
she asked. It was the first
time that I had refused to do
anything for her, since she had
me in her power. But she
did not take my rebellion Sc
riously. The very calmness
with which she heard me re-
volt against her emands S
caused me to feel the weak
ness of my stand. Since I had
been taking orders from Lola
Carewe, I had been wading
deeper in crime all the time.
Now she could denounce me
to the police, not only for the
death Of her husband, from
which I could have extricated
myself, disgraced it is true, but
at least free-but now I was
guilty of half a thousand Of
fenSes that would send me to
t1e Federal prison in Atlanta.
Sile told me not to be silly.
I finally told myself that she
was right. I believed then
that a freedom bought by a
murder would be better than
to go to prison and fasten on
my family the penalties Of my
crimes.
"I did not stop to reason.
then, that I would be only
opening the door to further
enormities. Once Lola had
been enmeshed in a murder
plot, I would, indeed, be owned
by that woman. She could
order me to kill as often as
she liked.
The Great Desire
But this did not realize,
then. I suppose I did realize
it, to tell the truth, but over
riding all such saner calcula-
tions was the one desire to
. protect myself. I was afraid
of Lola Carewe. Besides, what
danger vas l running to pro
vide her with the little thing
she asked-an insect whose
bite was positively deadly? How
was I to know what she would
use it for?

Correct Manners

Using the Fork

Using the Fork
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Which is the correct pro.
cedure in using a knife and
fork? To cut the meat, lay
down the knife, transfer the
fork to the right hand and then
put the fork to the mouth, or
TO cut the food and put the fork
In the mouth with the left
hand?
We have had good deal of
discussion on this point and
would appreciate knowing which
way Is accepted as correct here.
M. H.
Either of these ways of eat
ing is correct. The first one
you describe is the so-called
American way, the fork-shifting
way. The other one is usually
referred to as the European
method Of eating, the nonfork.
shifting way. You rarely see a
European shift the fork to the
right hand after the knife has
been placed on the plate. He or
she eats with the fork in the
left hand and the knife in the
right. Personally, I prefer this
way of eating. for to me the
eST1stant shifting of the fork
% the right hand is too full
of unnecessary motions-seems
fuSSy. But, as I say, in America,
both ways are correct. However,
I feel that your question would

gets. My mother says I should

no, it will look like I am run.
ming after him. Whose advice
shall I take? I've heard he
has dates with another girl.
Shall I take all the dates T
can and make him think I am
having lots of fun? Shall I
treat him the same way he
treats me?
Shall I leave him alone and
let him come back of his own
accord? Or will he come back?
I'm sure I did nothing to Of
fend him; even so, I don't see
why he would act this way.
Can you answer the questions
I've wondered so much about?
WONDERING.
AS you're both in school, my
advice is don't take this boy so
seriously. Boys fall in love
easily, first with one girl, then
another-and girls have the
same privilege. I think your
sisters advice is good. Don't
run after him. and go about
moderately with other boys and
girls.
But, my dear, if you give so
much thought to boys and
their moods, how about your
lessons? Your place in the
world will depend largely on
how much education you have.
Remember that; and don't take
love affairs, while you're in
school, as If they were final.
Not once in a hundred times

The second part Of the general
fundamental treatment Of acne
is the removal Of blackheads
with a cone-dome extractor.
Here over-treatment can easily
be a danger and, in general, if
q course Of blackhead extracting
leaves the skin irritated, it may
be said to be overdone.
For the special treatment Of
the disease, no treatment that
has been found is so effective
as exposure to the X-ray. But

Do You Know
That---

Makeup should be removed
with a thin cold cream or a

process to the immediate appli-

After the creaming, plunge into
the facial sudsings, and after
rinsing and drying, some more
cream. Compilations thrive
when they are petted. Those
