 Hall


 The card party and dance to be given in St Francis Xavier hall this evening under auspices of the Chil- dren of Mary and other women of the parish is sure to bring out a crowded house. While 1t Is true that many have bought tickets who may not attend the entertainment there is no doubt but that enough will want to take part in the activ- ities to tax the capacity of the. hail. A large number of prizes will be awarded, all of which have been contributed by merchants and others who are helping to make the affair a success.

ton.
Many Advantages
Paraffining is reduced to a
minimum and a constant seal
against the escape Of gas into
the casing is provided.
Experiments showed that
several tests were required to
find the correct pumping
speed to yield best results.
The slow-speed units are now
in operation on wells ranging
from 900 to 5555 feet, with a
general upward trend in pro-
duction reported, together
with universal cuts in pump
ing costs.
Varied Equipment
Several types Of equipment
have been developed by the
company to fit the slow
pumping equipment to wells Of
various depths. Included are
the motor and double redue-
ton gear band wheel unit /;
band wheel unit with worm
gear and variable speed pulley
small band wheel shaft unit
motorized gear band wheel
unit and countershaft band
wheel unit using double re
gear.

Simmered down, the method
consists simply in the applica-
ton of a super-slow pumping
motion to the wells, which are
handled by individual pump
ing units.
65 Wells Tested
About 65 wells have been
equipped with the slow-pump-
ing units and the results at
tanned are said to have proved
beyond all question the adj
yantages Of the method.
It is reported that by using
the slow pumping method, lift
ing costs have been reduced to
eight cents per barrel from a
former lifting cost Of IS cents
per barrel. Combined lifting
and handling costs have been
cut to ii cents per barrel
as compared with a former
production cost OF so cents

Slow Motion
The slow-speed pumping
units IN use are geared down
to as low as a stroke per
minute, with an average speed
Of two strokes per minute.

Oyster season is here again
tremendously important news to
the 10000 men it is putting

also for homemakers trying to

OF the several old foods which
have met with a new and
growing appreciation in late
years none stands out perhaps
more sharply than the oyster.
For oysters are now used more
abundantly than any other she'll

Plump, firm blue points,
served raw or cooked in any
number of ways are invariably
popular. At the same time they
are now known to be one of the
most valuable of all foods.
They are easily digested-raw

Some
- By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
WASHINGTON FASHIONS

There are many evening oc-
casions in the life of a woman
when she doesn't want to wear
an evening gown. There are
dinners at home with the family,
there are concerts that are not
especially formal, and evenings
at the theater when it isn't an
opening night, or a play you
want to dress for. For some
women there are club meetings
or receptions of a more or less
business nature. So. we find a
need for a special type of dress.
Indeed some women almost
never wear really formal eve
ming clothes, but make a lovely
velvet with sleeves, or chiffon
with a cape, do for all such oc-
casions. And this in-beween
type has a new name this year,
the "Sundown" dress.
When the Sun. Sets
Not only is this a lovely dress
for a late afternoon reception
or tea, but it also does beauti-
fully for all the occasions men
toned already, and for Sunday
nights. It's more formal than
most afternoon gowns, but not
quite as formal as a dinner or
evening gown. 1t has some type
of sleeve, a bit more than cap
sleeve or short capelet, and it
hasn't an extremely low neck.
But it is full length, which keeps
it in the "Sundown" class. Vel
vet, either the new dull type or
chiffon or transparent, is good
for such gowns, and some of
them are of the new rough silks,
dull or satiny. Any dark color
is smart, though, of course,
black will lead.
Lines for a Woman
We've sketched a lovely "sun-
down" dress for a woman, of
black velvet. It has features
that will make it fit a woman's
figure, is not too high in the
waist, has a rather wide belt
with covered buckle, and spiral
cut skirt that falls to the lines
of the figure, and fills out
wherever there is need. There
are lovely sleeves that make
moderate puffs, studded with
rhinestones that are set in little
flower patterns. The whole
dress expresses beauty and quail
ity, and because of that, is sure
to be flattering. 1t is priced
$3.50.
For further fashion infOrma-
ton, or for the name of the
store where you can find this
dress, write Miss LaViIle, enclOS-
ing a self-addressed, stamped
envelope, or call District $3.50,

She fingered the envelope
greedily, put the letter back
in her purse, brought it out,
read it over and over.
Julia Macfarlane watched, her
square face drawn, her skin
tight over the temples, hurt be-
cause it took Val so long to
tell her about it, and when she
did, she told it so guardedly:
Aunt Julia, it's from Millie.
She's in Santa Barbara. She
says that she has been travel
ing all around. and that she's
had several theater engage
ments-I never knew that. She's

Maxine was Australian born,
and she came, saw and con-
quered two continents. Never
anything special as an actress,
but her beauty turned the trick
and likewise the heads (bald
and we'll thatched) of every
man in the audience.
A Better Actress
Her younger sister, Gertrude,
who arried Sir Johnston
Professionalism, was a better
actress, but she had not her
older sisters beauty. And now
the lovely Maxine. living quietly
at Juan les Pins, France, has
decided to pass up the role of
being beautiful and staying
young. Here is her platform:
."I am tired Of being cOntin-
ually on dress parade, of hav-
ing to live up to my reputa-
tiOn. That sort of thing pals.
It's right in ones youth, but
keeping up the illusion of youth
Is a continuous strain. What
women need to learn is how to
grow middle aged gracefully"
And, oh, heavens, don't we?
Who with a heart under her
ribs does not long to tell the
middle-aged woman to throw
away at least half of her make
up? But the DINNER her sight
grows the more violent becomes
the color of her lipsticks and
rouges. In some perverse cor
rugation of her brain middle
aged woman seems to think she
can buy youth with a deeper
shade Of beautifier.
A Cruel Joke
And this is where the woman
no longer plays one of the
cruelest Of practical jokes upon
herself. Just the faintest touch
ing up is all that a middle
aged face will stand. Too much
powder gets into the wrinkles
and makes a monstrous white
etching of her features. Deep
red rouge and lipstick add
years to an old face.
And for a woman over SO to
begin to diet to achieve the
string-bean silhouette is the
most cruel joke of all. The
aged flesh grows flabby.
When Maxine Elliot bids
women Of her own age to grow
old gracefully, that time is
really kinder to them when
they don't try to block its
progress with too many cosmet-
les, it's the voice of a prophet
speaking.

Thanks for Wedding Gifts

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
In acknowledging wedding
gifts is it necessary to send a
thank you" card to every one
who sent gift, regardless of
whether you have already
thanked the person personally?
P. R.
You should never send a
"thank-you" card in acknowledge
ing any kind of gift, and eSpeci-
ally not when you are acknowl-
edging a wedding gift. (That
is, if by a "thank-you" cards you
mean the ready-made cards, the
ones with the message of appre-
citation engraved or printed on
the carD.
For every gift sent to her
bride-to-be writes a note of ap-
probation. . written by her on
her best letter paper, in her
best manner, and with her best
words. and she writes these
notes as soon as she possibly
can, the day she receives the
gift if she can.

And she says you told her I
was thinking of getting mar
ried, and she wants to talk
all that over with me. But
she'd like joel know she
would"
"Yes, probably"
Aunt Julia! That way you
say that! You know you like
him yourself. But then, you
always were a man hater!"
Joe Versus Count
"It isn't that. J. was just
thinking how your mother al
ways wanted you to save your
complexion so you could marry
a French count. Remember,
Val?"
Val remembered. Laughed a
little. French count! AS if
any French count could COM
pare with Joe!
Two days after Miles letter,
draft came. Val was to get
her ticket, buy a few necessary
things, come at once.
Julia Macfarlane watched and
waited, said nothing. She saw
how even the letters from Mile
were pushed aside for the ones
from Joe. Going to see Millie
wasn't anything compared to
going to Minnesota later to
marry Joe.
Val didn't even want to buy
many things for her trip, and
she just took a short leave of
absence from her work-"Be-
cause I'll want to work for a
little while after I get back,
and I want everything new for
my trousseau. I'm going to
need so many things when get
married. I want my things to
be just the loveliest in the
world Il mean, considering
their simplicity"
Aunt Julia did most Of the
packing. Bought her one of
those new suitcase trunks,
promised to take good care Of
the four colored sheets, the
brass dishpan and the begonias.
Val Starts Trip
Maybe she had done wrong.
Maybe Millie wouldn't be able
to dissuade Val, and she'd just
be losing her that much earlier.
Maybe Millie would put wrong
ideas into her head. But no,
that wasn't fair to Val. You
couldn't do that to a girl as
sound and fine as she. thanks
to her good bringing up.
Four of the girls from the
office and Aunt Julia went 20
the station to see Val off for
Santa Barbara. 1t was her first
real trip on a train and at the
last moment she was ablaze
with excitement. She had two
bores of candy and a corsage
of baby roses and two maga-
zines.
She would have liked to go
on the night train. 1t would
have been much more exciting
to sleep on the train. But Aunt
Julia insisted on the day train,
and the observation platform
almost made up for the sleeper.
She sat out there for hours,
glorying in the speed and the
ever-changing view. Toward eve
ming she grew tired and i'm
patient for the trip to be over.
Long before it was time to
pull into Santa Barbara, Val
went into the dressing room to
prepare for getting off. She
did so want to look nice for
Mille. She just must be look
ing her very best, so that Millie
wouldn't be disappointed. But

READER.
The best form of name for a
divorced woman to use is the
last name of her maiden name
prefiXed to the last name of
her married name: in your,
case Mrs. Allen Graham. AS
you will see, this form is dig
nified, and it quickly carries
the message Of just what you
wish to convey. Also it has the
unqualified approval and sane
ton of people who represent
the best form and the best
taste.
BuC most important OF all 1t
gets away from the use Of the
first name. "a much-to-be de-
sired thing for a married
woman, whether she is a wife.
a widow. or a divorce. A wife
should use, for her formal
name, the form Mrs. Charles
Graham. A widow uses exactly
the same form: Mrs. Charles
Graham. A divorcee uses the
form: Mrs. Allen Graham.

When God Is Near

Sometimes the rapture and the
mystery
Upon my heart descend,
Peace laps me round, peace
deeper than the sea
And sorrow has an end.
Sometimes it is as though a
hand we're laid
In tenderness on mine.
AS though a whisper said: BE
not afraid"
A still voice, and divine.
It is a fleeting thing, an in
Stant's time,
And yet for many days
The lingering ECHO of that tone
sublime
Along my pathway strays.
My cares are put aside, my
doubts are Stilled,
My faith grows sure and clear
And all my being is with rap
ture filled
For God is very near.
