GIFTS THAT YOU HAVE MADE YOURSELF ALWAYS DOUBy WELDON
O
love|on
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am still in high school, and
like a certain college student
of 81 very much. He is work.
ing his way through college by
clerking in store. 1 have been
out with him five or six times,
and every time l go out with
him or see him, 1 like him
more. I see him about every
other day.
1 have many other dates with
college boys. but 1 don't have a
very good time because 1 keep
thinking of this one and wish
I were with him. And now I
don't know what has gotten
into him; he does not call or I
do not go out with him as often
as I did. These moonlight
nights I get very blue. Do you
think he is tired of seeing or
going out with me? Do you
think there is another girl?
BLUE.
Perhaps, my dear, you showed
this young student how much
you were interested in him and
he got a bit scared. A young
man working his way through
college can't afford to have
serious love affairs. There's his
degree to get and he must es-
tabliSh himself first in business
or profession, before he
thinks of settling down. If a
girl shows she cares too much,
and he feels that he will have
nothing definite to offer for
years to come, he often drops
out. A young man wrote me
this today: Everything was
in the dim future, so I dropped
out, feeling I couldn't waste
her time"

The Rhymins
Optimist
BY ALINE MICHAELIS
So After Grief


AS a brave general who, at the
end
OF some terrific, unforeseen at
tack
In which he sees his conquer
ing foes descend
And all his proud troops falter,
beaten back,
Will, in the lull which follows
fiercest storm,
BeStir himself and send his
Valor'S flood
Into his soldiers veins, till, red
and warm,
His fiery strength, goes cours-
ing through their blood.
So after grief I strive. In pa
thence then
I rouse my scattered forces
and I call
From some strong fortress in
my soul again
Those strange reserves so po-
tent over all
Assaults of life. Faith, not to
be denied,
And hope can stem woes dark,
advancing tide.

NEW YORK, Nov. Eve
went up to the Yale-Dartmouth
game last Saturday afternoon
and were we embarrassed!
It seems that we've been all
wrong all along about this foot

ball fashion thing-we, and
every other smarty stylist in
town. We've always been just
an old softie who believed every
thing we were told about wear
ing suitable clothes for sports
occasions, and not putting on
too much sWank at sports events,
and-well, you know the story!
So we went trustfully up to
the game in homespunS and
brogues-only to find that all
the smart gals had calmly dis
regarded what all the SIN art
shops and fashion magazines
had told them-and showed up
in the sWankiest clothes they
could wheedle out of Dad!
Furs-not the good old rae
coons and muskrats, but fine
furs like caracul and leopard
and Persian lamb-all over the
place! Loads of little fur hats
and fur muffs to match
them, too. Soft, velvety wool
ems in coats and suits, and not
a few velvet frocks of the less
formal type.
The Washington times., 1933-11-06

the wives will anyway. And
we hope that they will find a
few hints which may help them
in making purchases in behalf
Of their husbands.
The Wife's Cream
There seems to be a thought
which is well established, al
though quite wrong. And that
Is that men have tough skins
that will stand anything.
AS a matter of fact, great
many men have. thin, sensitive
skins, and one thing that a
man with this type Of skin
won't hesitate to do is to dip
into his wife's cream jar, be-
cause he knows the discomfort
he avoids by so doing.
But, not often will he buy
one for himself, so that should
be provided for him. Even if
he hasn't a naturally sensitive
skin, he will use this once it
is there after a windy day on
the golf course or when his
second shave leaves his skin
singing.
After Shaving
The ideal time to smooth on
a cream is just after shaving,
and we know Of one which we
think would please most mascu-
line tastes. Send a self-ad-
dressed stamped envelope, and
the name is yours.
A strange mental state exists
today in the matter of mascu-
line grooming. We hear so
often that the American man is
violently opposed to any form
Of Standardization and re-
CARDS all steps in this direction
as effeminate that we have
come to take these for granted
as established masculine COM
pleXes. But that is wrong.
If mems preparations were
sold in a shop where men go to
buy their own things-books, to-
bacco, shoes and other things
redolent of maSculinity-this
would be an ideal solution. But,
failing this. the problem is one
for the ladies.
Women purchase the vast ma
jority of all mems toilet prepa-
rations, and, on the whole, they
make a pretty poor job of it.
Toilet Waters
You wives should help your
husbands, but you will have to
develope some sound ideas on
the subject.
Having made suggestions
about a cream, we will now
touch lightly on a very sore
Subject-perfumes. Don't think
of going in for those. They may
be popular on the continent,
but not for the American man!
But toilet water-that is some
thing else again.
Most men will use a toilet
water after they have had their
morning shower. It is refresh
ing, and not effeminate and
comes put up by some very fine
houses. Tomorrow we will have
something further to say about
the masculine head.
The Washington times., 1933-11-06

drive out to the country-or
just when you feel chilly!
They're that cozy and cuddle-
some! Sometimes they match
exactly as to color and fabric
true twins! And sometimes
they don't.
We think they're more inter-
esting when they show a con-
trasting color effect - like a
blue pull-over under a gray
cardigan, or brown and
orange blazer striped sweater
under a brown cardigan jacket.
One we liked particularly had
a fine green plaid against a
brown background, and was
worn with a green tweed skirt.

Correct
Manners
By MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN
The Tea Set
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is it improper to have an
antique tea set on coffee
table in our living room? We
have no tea wagon for our
dining room, and we have a
percolator set on the buffet.
We intend to use this tea set.
M.
I don't believe that you will
find it convenient to keep your
tea set on the coffee table in
your living room. 1t would, I
believe, be very much in the
way on a table that finds so
many other uses for itself.
Even if you already keep your
percolator set on your buffet,
it would, I am sure you will
find be convenient also to keep
your tea set on the buffet.

Fashion Questions

Dear Miss Gaines:
I am to be a maid of honor
at an afternoon wedding, and
would like to know what you
would consider a proper cos
tune. The bride is wearing
white satin and the bridesmaids
are wearing different pastel
shades in crepe. MISS A. B.
In most bridal professions,
the maid of honor is expected
to wear something different in
color and material from the
bridesmaids. So that if the
bridesmaids are wearing crepe
in pastel colorS, you could
wear transparent velvet in a
deeper tone. You can select any
color that is becoming to you
(probably blue or rose IN your
tvpe) and carry it out in a
deeper shade than the brides
maids gowns.
AS for the style, any be-
coming afternoon style will be
correct, if it has a fairly long
skirt, long sleeves and simple
lines. Your hat, of course,
should be of the same ma
terial as your frock, and your
slippers should be dyed to
match your dress or be of plain
suede. Add little veil to your
hat. if possible-it is attractive
and appropriate to the oc-
caSion.
Dear Miss Gaines:
Would a short-Sleeved gown
of black velvet and lace be out
of place at an afternoon az
fair, such as a card party? I
have seen some evening gowns
with short sleeves this season,
and 1 wondered whether it
would be correct for formal
afternoon wear.
MRS. G. H. H.
Short-sleeved gowns are prac-
tically never worn in the after
noon these days, unless the
dress happens to be Of the
convertible type with a long
sleeved jacket to match, in
which case the jacket is kept
on until tea time. It's much
newer and smarter this season
to wear one Of the 1ong-Sleeved
gowns. with perhaps an open
ing in the sleeve to add in
teresting detail.

EVENING WRAP

Right over our heads go
many of the new evening
wraps. A new model that
slips over the head, falls to
the floor in heavy folds. It
then turns up to form deep
sleeves. The collar and the
edge of the long, wide hem
length sleeves are Of ermine in
contrast to the black velvet Of

Beauty Queries
and Answers

PimpleS
Question: Dear Miss Du-
mont: 1 need some advice, so
am coming to you for it,
hoping that you will help me.
1 am IL years old, 5 feet 6
inches tall and weigh liz.
Please tell me how to gain
and how to fill out the space
between my thighs. also
have some blackheadS on. my
nose. Please tell me how to
get rid of them. Could you
also tell me how to have nice
skin. My skin is not so bad,
but it could be better. /
never use cream. Just soap
and water. Do you think l
should use creams? II SO, will
you give me the names Of
some good creams which are
not so expensive. Well, I
guess I have asked you enough,
so I am closing, with many
thanks to you, NJ. X.
Answer: You should be able
to gain easily by getting eight
hours sleep every night and
eating fatty foods. Drink plenty
of milk, and try and take some
before you go to bed at night.
And eat a lot of nourishing
food. If your appetite is poor,
try taking good tonic recon-
mended by your physician sew
eral times during the day. If
you massage cocoa butter into
your thighs, you can probably
fatten them. Massage warm oil,
either a muscle oil, castor oil,
or olive oil into the skin around
your nose.
Let it soak in and then scrub
it off with a face soap and
warm water and soft brush.
Then very gently press out
the blackheads.
I cannot prescribe for your
skin until you tell me what is
the matter with it.
Face Pack
Question: 1 am a business
woman and have very limited
time to give to myself. Is there
face pack I can use that
will clear my skin? d. Fl.
Answer: The white of an
egg left on the face for IS
minutes is an excellent and
simple method of Tightening
and clearing the skin. Follow
this treatment with a good
soap cleansing and night cream.

Answer: The long bob has
been replaced with the direc-
toire type coiffure-or a bob
that is built high from the
neckline. If you will go to a
good hairdresser I am sure he

Calvin Coolidge In many re.
spects probably viii 60 down in
history as one of the luckiest
Presidents TO occupy the White
House. He was elevated to the
nations highest office by the sud.
den death Of Warren q. Harding
at a time when the powers Of the
Republican party were planning
to replace him on the ticket in
1924.
He served through the greatest
era of prosperity the world has
ever known, getting credit for
some nine billions Of reduction in
the national debt and three tax
cuts, and left the White House
with high praise ringing In his
ears less than eight months be-
fore the crash.
Even the Weather Smiled
Even in the matter of weather,
Mr.. Coolidge was lucky. Only
once in all the public appearances
he made did it rain. That one ex-
ception was at the Morse Centen-
nial celebration at Minneapolis
and by way Of consolation he re-
ceived one of the greatest recep-
tionS of his career. The Memorial
Day he spoke at Gettysburg, the
sun came out brightly Just at the
start Of his address and the rain
which had fallen on all other
speakers resumed just as he con-
cluded.
In the fiYe and o half years of
his incumbency, Mr.. Coolidge
was not faced with a single
major industrial crisis. The near
est approach to one was the
abortive anthracite strike of 1898
which he promptly turned over
to Governor Pinchot Of Penn
Sylvania for settlement.
Luck favored him further in
the matter of health. A touch
