Fashion Questions

Dear Miss Gaines:
I expect to attend a ball next
month, to which I will wear a
black satin evening gown with
a pale pink flower at the neck
line.
Must one wear long gloves to
an affair of this kind, and if so,
what color should I purchase to
go with the dress? I thought
red slippers would look we'll
with it, what color hose should
I get to go with the red? Any
suggestions would be greatly
appreciated. Thanking you.
Mrs. w. V. H.
If you will wear red slippers
with your black gown, be sure
to change your pink flower to
a red one to match your Slip
pers, as the pink and red will
not look we'll together. Then
you might add another red
accessory to your costume for
a complete ensembles red
velvet bag, for example, if your
flower is of red velvet, too.
Long gloves are indispensable
in the evening, unless one wears
a long-sleeved jacket over the
gown. In your case, I should
suggest black satin gloves to
match your gown as the newest,
smarteSt things you could wear.
Black suede or white kid gloves
are also acceptable, although
not as new-looking as satin
gloves.

Brown VS.. Gray
AS to colors, brown and gray
seem about equally popular,
with an occasional blue for va.
fiety. Glenurquhart plaids,
block plaids, unobtrusive stripes
and checks are all good, and
are nearly always in two tones
or more of either gray or brown.
This is true of both suits and
topcoats, with the fabrics va
Hied, Of course, according to the
weight needed. Harris tweeds
are excellent, too, and now at
the height of their popularity,
but are not quite as new look
ing as the other patterned ma
terialS.
Tweeds Good, Too
Heather mixtures are smart
In tweeds, especially in sports
clothes. And more men are con-
scious Of the Importance Of
sports clothes, and are wearing
them more and more, instead
of making a business suit do for
all daytime appearances.
The Single-breasted, two-but-
ton suit< With notched lapel is
still the great favorite with men
all over the country, though the
double-breasted suit is much
more popular than it used to be.
We've photographed such a suit
to show you today. It's in an
indistinct plaid, in harmonizing
tones of gray.
Balmacaan Back
The Balmacaan is a topcoat
style that has been revived and
is coming into it's own this year.
One is photographed, in a
checked fabric, smart to wear
with a plain suit.
These new Balmacaans have
o wide sweep, with plenty of
room through the shoulder for
driving, and to be comfortable.
The collars are convertible.
You'll find clothes of this type
at all the downtown stores.

Correct
Manners
Inviting the Children
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:


An invitation was sent to
our home. The invitation was
addressed to my mother only.
There are three children in the
family who are all of age. What
I want to know is whether the
children are invited, or whether
just my mother is invited
there is no father? I.
Since the invitation was adj
dressed to your mother only,
I suppose that we will have to
take it for granted that she is
the only one invited. It GER
tainly might lead to great diff
ficulty to take it for granted
that the three children were in
vited, if this is not the inten-
ton of the people issuing the
invitation! And I am sure that
if they meant to invite the chill
dren they would have definitely
indicated this.

-"
Few women can expose their
entire ear with complete as
Surance. Nature, unfortunately,
has been very stingy in allott-
ing the exquisitely curved and
shell pink ear, the type that
resembles a lovely petal"
Casual Barring
Yet, strangely enough, the
fashion Of exposing the lobe
of the ear in a casually. grace
full, off-the-face hairdress is
vastly becoming to the majority
of women. Much more so, we
think, than shoulder length
curls. One would think that
nature would be a little kinder
to the feminine world in
awarding a we'll shaped ear. But
this is not the case.
Doubtless you have noticed
from the many illustrations Of
new hair styles that the fash
ion Of showing part Of the ear
has been very strongly empha-
sized. Try experimenting with
some Of hairdresses you have
seen and see Of you can copy
one Of them.
Ear Messages
Spend as much time as you
feel able to spare before the
dressing table, working your
hair into new lines.
And give your ears a bit Of
beauty treatment. Cleanse the
outer part thoroughly, with
cleansing cream just as you
would your face, extending the
treatment to the throat and
face area surrounding. Then
sponge and pat gently with
skin tonic, and use some nour-
ishing cream.
The ear should be masaged
between thumb and finger with
a gentle rotary movement, be-
ginning with the lobe and work.
ing up to the top. This tends
to make the skin firm and
fine and brings up circulation
to produce that desired she'll
pink effect.
In applying powder, carry it
over the neck and back Of the
ears, just the way Jean Har-
low is about to do in the pic
ture on this page.
Some Rouge
A touch of rouge at the ear
1obes brings a flushed and
glowing look to the facSFs So
you will kill two birds wi eFone
stone if you add this *Subtle
touch of coloring.t~
This is excellent for the thin
or palefaced woman, but is not
advocated for those whose fea-
lures are broad, or whose COM
pleXion is florid. In fact, this
latter type will be wise in keep
ing her ears covered.
Only the fortunate few can
achieve distinction and beauty
with a severe couture and
wholly exposed ears. So un-
less you are very sure of your
self, don't try it. However, II
you feel that your ears are
practically your best feature,
go ahead. The effect can be
most compelling.

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Strikes Me as Too Cautious
Dear Miss Fairfax:
It always seemed to me that
the man should be the one to
do the proposing, when it comes
to marriage.
I've been going with a girl of
25-I'm 80 years old-for
about two years, and hope to
get married some day. But
just as a good many others,
the depression got me and now
I haven't enough money in the
bank to gel married. I had to
take part of my savings for
living expenses, as I lost my
job. However, have a new
Job now, but wanted to wait
another year before getting
married.
My girl couldn't stand the
suspense any longer, so she
says, and proposes that we get
married right away. She has
a good job and have one, and
she thinks between us we can
make a go of it. What do you
think? We have about 5000
In the bank. HARRY.
If your girl has a fair job
and won't lose it if she marrieS,
I think it would be as good a
time as any to invest in a
plain gold band. You've got a
Job, so has the girl. At 80,
don't stand Shivering On the
brink. And here's my best
to you!
He Is Four Years Younger
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have read your helpful ad-
vice in our paper for a long
time and wonder if you can
help me in my problem. I am
q young man of 20 and my
sweetheart is "a. We've been
going together for more than
a year and we love each other
devotedly. Do you think we
would be happy if we married?
Does age matter in true love?
Thanks. S. H.
The difference in ages you
mention wouldn't make any
serious difference, if you were
q little older. But boy Of
20 is rather young to assume
the responsibilities of marriage
these days, it seems to me.
You haven't told me If you're
employed, or whether you're
able to take care of a wife,
or help to take care Of her.
Suppose you write me again
and tell me a little about your
earning capacity, and whether
the young lady is employed.

about keeping house econom-
ically?

LEAVES FUND
FOR CHURCH

LOS ANGELES. July 6. W.P) -
A bequest of $3O0,000 TO be used in
constructing a new Roman Catho-

contained in the will of the late

The document stipulated that
s150,000 of the 100000 be used for
stained glass windows in the cathe-
dral, commemorating the deaths of
Mrs. De Francis parents, Manuel
and Majia Engracia Cote de Do

GLOBE GIRDLING FLYER TO
USE ROBOT ON SOLO FLIGHT

OKLAHOMA CITY, July 6. U2
Wiley Post believes a robot pilot
and al army-deYeloped radio de-
vice Will enable him to cut more
than three days from the record
flight he plans TO start from New
York soon.
The taciturn 33-year- old Okla
homa City flyer and 3. Harold Cat
ty, Los Angeles, set the present
globe -girdling record of eight days,
Is hours and 81 minutes in 1881,
flying a 16,000-mile course around
the northern hemisphere.
They spent considerable time IN
hotels and on the ground away
from their plane. Post does not in
tend TO sleep outside his ship :
same craft ne and Gatty used :
after he leaves Roosevelt field. The
plane. a Lockheed-Vega christened
Winnie Mae, has been rebuilt.
His robot pilot, a gyroscopic de-
vice, has been thoroughly tested
Post flew the Winnie Mae TO Mex
leo City and back with the auto
matte control functioning. He be
lieves he could safely sleep with il
in operation.
The army radio equipment, de-
yeloped at Cook field, Dayton, O.,
will enable him TO fly toward any
radio station from which he picks
up signals. Thus Post will be able
10 fly more safely at night, and
run less risk Of getting off his
course.
The record-breaking attempt will
be over a route almost identical
with that he and Gatty followed
in June and July, 1881. The prin-
cipal change is that a refue!!ng
field is planned for point south
Of Irkutsk, in Siberia, to cut 1000
miles off the trip.
Eliminate Many Stops
The plan also is to eliminate g
number Of stops made on the for
mer trip. Post will fly nonstop
from New York TO Berlin instead
Of landing enroute at Harbor Grace
and some British point. No stoE
is contemplated this time at Mos.
cow and not more than two in al
| Russia.
The Alaskan refueling will b.
done at Fairbanks instead of a
Nome, as in 1881 He plans TO sto,
again at Edmonton, Alberta, as be.
/ fore, but hopes TO go non-stoI
from that point direct to Roosevelt
! field.
The longest hop will be from New
York to Berlin-3900 miles. Cthe
distances between the scheduled
stops are: from Berlin across Rus
sia Zone refueling stop planned a
place to be decided 4300 miles; II
kutsk to Fairbanks, 2200 miles
Fairbanks TO Edmonton, 1850 mile
and Edmonton to New York 210
