Frederick Adams Woods, famous biologist. studied the graduates of Harvard over a long period and showed that only nine per cent of the bachelors had become eminent enough to be written up in Who's Who in Amer lea. while over sixteen per cent of the married men had reached this degree of worldly success. The success of the married men, with occasional notable exceptions. is no doubt due partly to their being, on tlss average. the more normal. vigorous and attractive men: and partly that the wife is often a large factor in her husbands suc- cess.

Questions
HER FIRST BABY

her age should. She takes the
required amount Of milk but
will not touch vegetables. I

trying. She must take them II
she is to develop properly.
Vegetables are absolutely essen
tial. It may be that in your
anxiety you have let the young

A dry skin indicates a thin
skin, fine in texture, and prob
ably the most desirable type to
have. An oily condition usually
indicates a heavier texture skin
with coarser pores.
Wrinkles
While the dry skin is the
finest it will age more quickly
than the oily or coarse type un-
less it is carefully cleansed and
nourished. It wrinkles more
quickly than the oily kind and
there is nothing more indicative
of a woman's age than the con-
dition Of her skin.
We are offering an excellent
method Of cleansing the dry
skin, the first step in guarding
against age and wrinkles and
the too dry condition brought
about by climatical conditions.

The use of oatmeal for cleans

which we are offering, with
almond meal. which also has
been one Of the most useful aids
to beauty for many years.
Z Oatmeal contains solvent oils
that will leave the skin soft

Punishment emphasizes the

! Stiff Arm
= A cure may sometimes be ef-
ifected by putting the child's
arm in a wide, stiff cardboard
which will not permit the elbow
to bend.
This should not be, of course,
worn all the time as it will pre-
vent the free exercise Of the
arm. If he sucks chiefly at
night, as the majority of them
do, put it on at that time.
Covering the hands with nit
tens or bedclothes seldom helps.
The child will suck through the
covering.

Mothers, sisters, other mem
berS of your family and very
dear friends make up your list
Of people for intimate gifts.
Such things for men include
house robes Of various kinds,
lounging pajamas shaving &C
cessories, socks, pajamaS, under
wear and toilet articles.
Satin Is FavOrite
Personal gifts for women are
much more varied, but chief
among them are lingerie and
negligees. And of course it's well
to think first of fashion trends
when you're selecting these
things.
In lingerie, satin is the new
favorite, and tea rose still holds
first place in colors. Laces are
usually rather dark, making
smart contrast.
Deeper colors are extremely
good, such as rose, robins egg
blue, deep gold, and a deep pas
tel green. These usually have
darker laces too. Many women,
however, prefer just a touch Of
hand drawn thread or embroid-
cry to lace, and like the softer,
lighter pastels.
New Deep Tones
Satin is a shade more popu-
lar than crepe in negligees too.
Again tea rose is the favorite
pastel, though deep rose and
blue look new and also popular.
Lace trims many of them,
and is used in different ways,
and there are also grand tail
ored neg1igees of both satin and
crepe.
Velvet hostess gowns, tea
gowns and negligees are for
those of us who can get them,
for I'm sure we all want them.
Black and vivid colors are the
accepted tones, and there's no
rule as to whether they are
trimmed or not. Some seem
chic with lace, others with fur,
while still others are plain.

For
Christmas
By Victoria Gaines
For the Girl Back Home


In selecting a Christmas gift
for the girl back home, of
course, you want to give her
something that has all the
glamour and gayety Of the city
and yet is suitable for the
social life Of a small town.
If you give her something
like a suede bag with a mar
castle clasp and mirror mono
gram, she can carry it to the
church sociable.
Or get her a compact and
cigarette case to match, Of
gold or silver Sequins. That
has glitter and yet she can
wear it to the annual affair
of the local lodge chapter with
perfect propriety.
A set of evening jewelry-
earrings, bracelet and brooch Of
rhinestones set with synthetic
rubies, emeralds or Sapphires-
would probably set her girlish
heart agog, too.
A pair of open-toe mules that
are almost elaborate enough to
be worn as evening sandals
would give her a chance to
paint her pretty tne-nails
(Which she's been secretly dy-
ing to do anyway, probablyD.
These come in gold or silver
kid, as well as colored velvets.
And a bottle Of perfume in
her favorite flower scent, in
an unusual glass container, is
always acceptable.
Best Of all, you can buy her
a pair of those new gloves that
have that unmistakable air.
They may be Channels velvet
evening gloves with suede palms
for perfect fitting-in all colorS.
Or they may be Worth's kid
gloves with satin cuffs and
gores-in black, brown or white.
There's nothing like a French
glove. you know. to give a girl

Joan Crawford is another
screen celebrity whose clothes
are so severely simple that they

Her choice of colorS is wide
anything that looks we'll on her

anything does-for Joan is one
of the few people who can wear
extreme clothes without looking
extreme in them.
OF all the screen luminarieS
now in New York, Helen Hayes
has the least flair for fashion
and cheerfully admits it. She
knows nothing about style, she
says, and cares less. And her
chief ambition is always to wear

modern variation of an old
theme. In glancing through a

Tells People He's "Nutty"
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I spent every cent Of money
I had on a certain woman, on
whom I had a terrible crush.
When I'd nothing left but bit
ter memories she dropped me
completely. Some of my friends
asked her why she had treated
me so badly, after promising
to marry me, and she said I
was "nutty."
admit I was "nutty'' about
her, and for letting her get
away with all I had, but I had
sense enough to hold a good
job and put something by until
this female fiend came into my
life. Now she's going round
telling people I'm crazy.
SAMSON.
If that lady persists in
spreading these groundless ru-
mors about your mental con-
dition, I would advise you to
put the matter in the hands Of
a competent lawyer. He should
be able to put a stop to this
talk without any difficulty
whatever. You might take
some comfort in the thought
that your position would be
much worse if you had mar
ried her.
