Since it is a very excellent
way of toning up the skin, you
might even want to give your
self the treatment before going
to some particular party, where
you wish to appear looking
your very best.
At any rate-here goes. Ten
minutes time is all that is re-
quired for the actual treat
ment. If you can spare an ad-
ditional 10 minutes to lie down
and completely relax, the ben
efits derived from the mental
relaxation and physical Stimu-
lation will leave you feeling like
a new woman.
The Formula
You will need a package Of
EPSON salts. two bowls-one
filled with very warm water,
the other with cold water and
cracked ice, besides the usual
preparations for cleansing the
skin.
Remove the first application
of cream and smooth the Sec
ond one over the skin. letting
it remain on while you pre-
pare the EPSON salts water.
Into each bowl put two table
spoonfuls of Epson salts.
Then while the salts are
diSsolving. remove the cold
cream from the face and neck.
When all surplus cream has
been wiped off. saturate a
cloth with hot EPSON salts
water and wiring it out a little
before holding it to the face
and neck
Repeat these hot applications
three or four times. Take a
second cloth, dip it into the
iced EPSON salts water, and,
without Wrlnglng 1t out, hold
it to the face and neck.
Vivid Color
Repeat the iced salts appli-
cation IL or Is times. Pat the
face dry ano look into the
mirror to behold your skin
sparkling with life and vivid
color. :.
Look closely into the mirror
to prove that the fine tired
lines have completely disap-
peared. If the skin is inclined
to dryness, massage a thin
film of nourishing cream into
the skin after drying it. Let
this cream remain on for
few minutes before removing it.
The salts facial is not at all
drying to the normal or oily
skin. Be sure that you dissolve
the salts thoroughly in the
water.

Core
Manners
BY MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN
Canapes and Cocktails

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Please tell me how to serve
canapes with cocktails, in the
living room. Are they served
on individual plates with forks,
or are they eaten with the fin
gers? What kind of forks, if a
fork is proper? T.
On one tray are the cocktails,
with the pile of cocktail nap
kins on the side of the tray.
With one hand we take the
cocktail glass, and with the
other. the cocktail napkin.
After this tray has been passed,
the tray with the canapes on it
is passed. Usually no separate
plate is passed for the canapes.
and when the canapes are
served with the cocktails in this
way, in the living room. no
forks are provided. An impor-
tant point is to keep the canapes
of such simple varieties that
they may be eaten conveniently
in the fingers. AS a matter of
fact, canapes are becoming in
creasingly simpler, for hostesSes
have discovered that most
guests pass up the more COM
plicated kinds of canapes in
favor of the simpler ones.

my 16-months-old baby re-
fuses his food when I try to
concentrate his attention on
it. He will refuse anything,
even water. But if he has
something to amuse him while
eating, especially something
new, he will take it without
protest.
II have tried to break this
bad habit unsuccessfully. I
have no other trouble with him,
but this question is making me
very unhappy. I have tried so
hard to give him a perfect diet
and to observe all the rules OF
routine"
Enjoy Attention
I think this particular
mother explains her trouble in
the sentence, "this question is
making me very unhappy"
Her youngster has discovered
that he can make her un-
happy" by his stubbornness
about food. Babies, even the
best trained, enjoy worrying
their mothers a bit.
They love attention, and
they discover that when mother
is worried about them all her
interest is concentrated on
them. Being logical little
youngsters, they think up more
ways to worry her.
Sole Interest
This mothers entire letter
breathed her anxiety about her
baby's problems. She told me
that she was a stranger in
Washington, her husband away
from the city, and that her baby
was her sole interest. I gath
cred from her letter that she is
young, that this is her first
child, and that she is more than
average conscientious.
1 think that her problem
about baby's food would be very
quickly solved if she worried
less. She says the youngster
is entirely normal, bright,
healthy, happy child.
That he does not actively dis
like the food she is giving him
is obvious from the fact that he
takes it when interested in some

suggestions
For
Christmas.
By Victoria Gaines
For a Man


A Christmas gift for the man
you don't know very well, but
would like to know better, is
probably the most difficult
problem on any girls list. You
can hardly give him anything
but books or cigars, and still
stay a perfectly nice girl, &C
cording to Alica Leonie Meats.
And it's hard to find some
thing within such a limited
selection that hasn't already
been done again and again. So
today's Christmas chat has been
dedicated to digging up gifts
that fall within these two cate
gories, and yet have a new
twist to make them different
looking.
If he's confirmed pipe
smoker, a pipe-glove case is
probably one of those things
he hasn't been given before.
It's set consisting of a match
ing pipe case and tobacco
pouch, in various colors and
feathers.
Or one of the new gift packages
containing four different types
of tobacco, so that he can blend
his own, will mark you as
maid who knows her way about
a mans heart. A very tricky
new gadget looks like pen
knife, but turns out to be
pipe cleaner. 1t contains a
knife. pick and all the mysteri-
GUS implements that men use to
keep their pipes clean. In
silver case. it makes one of the
smartest-looking gifts we've seen
about town. -.
If he divides his affections
equally between cigars. ciga-
rettes and pipes. a combination
set of briar pipe, cigarholcer
and cigarette holder is just the
thing! All three are made
to match, and come in a hand
some leather case OF their own.
And although he probably has
half a dozen cigarette cases and
cigarette lighters already, a
cigar case is one of those things
no one ever seems to remem-
ber. Yet there are some very
good looking ones of tortoise
shell containing any number of
cigars up to six.

Child Health
Questions
"Cry Baby"

@. My seven-year-Old son is
an awful "cry baby" 1t is
making him unpopular with his
playmates and l would appre-
cite suggestions how to cure
him. MRS. F. D. A.
A. The child who is a "cry
baby" at school is usually the
one who was babied at home
too long, who was not taught
independence and courage be-
fore school age.
Begin gradually to teach your
boy independence. Don't unite
him too violently from your
apron strings but gently and
firmly start him on the road
to manliness. Be, casual with
his stories of how the other
children tease him. Ignore as
far as possible his pettish
spells. Teach him to admire
courage and independence.
Suggest" bravery and self-re-
lance.

Recuperative
@. 1 am expecting my first
baby. How long should re-
main in the hospital after it is
born? MRS. G. L. !.
A. That depends upon your
physical condition after the
child's birth. If it is a normal
birth and your condition is
good. your doctor will probably
allow you to go home on the
tenth day. But after reaching
home you must remember that
the mother. no mater how we'll
she feels, needs certain time
of rest before taking up her
regular duties. Usually woman
may walk about her room at
the end of two weeks and by
the end of a month can go up
ar d~va stairs. In all cases
she should refrain from full
activity for about six weeks.
: At the end of that period have
your doctor give you a 1lna4
examination to be sure every
thing is as it should be.

A pile of gaily-wrapped pack
ages is as joyous to some Of us,
in anticipation, as the actual
unwrapping Of the presents.
Wrapping is Fun
There are many new ways OF
doing up packages this year, so
that shopping for wrappings is
really pretty exciting, and the
actual wrapping job is fun too.
The introduction Of cellophane
and ribbon Of the same type
makes it possible to get wonder
full effects, make all your pack
ages look different, and even
suitable to the gift, if you care
to 60 that far.
Basic White Paper
Don't forget, first Of all, that
you will need a good supply
of plain white tissue, for wrap
ping gifts before they go in
their boxes, unless they tit ex-
actly or are already wrapped.
This paper is useful, too, to
put under a colored or plain
cellophane wrapping, if you're
going in for that.
Patterned papers are such IN
vogue, and the patterns are
fascinating, as you no oouOC
know.
Patterns ribbons are protuse
too, and though there are no
rules, it seems to me that pack
ages look best when you use
plain cord or ribbon on pat
termed papers and fancy ribbon
and seals on plain PAPER.
For, after all, if you BUY
beautiful and perhaps rather
Expensive paper, why cover 1t
up with lots of seals and rlo-
bon?
CelIophane and Seals
To get back to the cellophane
ideas. they are numerous and
unlimited. Plain, clear cello
phane over figured box is SUI
ficient. and clear cellophane
over patterned paper gives
nice gleam to it.
Plain colors in cellophane are
smart. as is the clear color, A
shirred bow of it, stuck into the
ribbon or cord you're using is
smart and adds just the right
decorative touch sometimes.
AS to seals, do use original and
interesting ones on plain paper,
but if you're going in for grand
effects in your paper, then use
lust plain gold or silver stars, or
the simplest seals you can find.
And it's a good idea to plan
them to go together when you
buy them. for you may turn up
at home with some impossible
combinations if you don't plan.
Notice the photograph on this
page of interesting uses Of cello
phane in gift wrappings.

what distinguishes a negligee
from either?
These are merely questions
many a woman asks herself
when she sallies forth to buy
a simple bathrobe or bed
jacket, and finds herself con-
fronted with a bewildering ar
ray whose fine points of dis
tinction. would drive an Emily
Post to distraction.
According to one authority,
1t all depends on the degree
of intimacy of your visitors. II
they're members of the family
who are accustomed to barge
into your boudoir without cere-
mony, frothy, frilly negligee
makes a perfectly good recep-
ton costume.
PajamaS
Paiamas, while more COM
Portable. are also more formal
only feminine friends and
masculine members of the fam
lily being privileged to peek at
your latest satin or velvet
acquisition.
But in housecoat-that
newest addition to the intimate
wardrobe-you can face the
world with perfect poise. Even
if the local social queen should
drop in unexpectedly, you can
greet her without qualm, for
the housecoat is. as correct as
any gown, and usually much
smarter.
Unless it's distinctly dinner
party, you can dine at home in
a hostess coat, and know that
you look as comfortable and
charming as you feel
We haven't figured out yet
where the hostess gown comes
into the picture-but it's prob
ably somewhere in between the
negligee and the housecoat. BY
that we mean that it can dash
from the boudoir to the living
room-but it should stop right
there!
Simple Rule
AS to how to tell these vari-
GUS stay-at-home garments
apart at a glance, we have a
simple rule that serves us beau
tifully. If it has a train, it's
a hostess gown-if it hasn't, it's
a housecoat. AS for pajamas,
even the unframed eye should
be able to tell that without
help!
The new housecoats have
very little to differentiate them
from dinner gowns in line, cut
or color. Most of them have
the inverted necklines, elab-
crate sleeves and beautifully
fitted lines of our best brought
up frocks.
Shorts Now
Pajamas have rather lost
caste with the smart crowd, too.
With the return of luxury and
elegance in fashion, the femi-
nine. gown has taken the place
of the boyish pajamaS. Those
elaborate pajamas we used to
see at cocktail parties and in
theater lobbies few years ago
are decidedly declasSe now.
Even for beach wear pajamaS
have been largely replaced by
beach dresses and shorts. Those
pajama5 that have retired to
the privacy of the boudoir are
mostly velvet, corduroy or crepe
affairs, with few, if any, fashion
details. Negligees. of course,
continue to be lacy, filmy at-
fairs or simple satin robes, ac-
cording to your tastes.

Soap and Water

Question: I would like to
know a good way to clean my
skin. I can't seem to go with
out soap and water. My skin
seems a little dry at times but
normal most of the timer. B.
Answer: Why refrain from
using soap and water on your
skin? I believe at least one
soap and water cleansing daily
necessary for all types of skins.
In between times you might use
a good cleansing cream. Only
mild soap should be used on
compilations which have tend
ency to be too dry. Rinse every
trace of soap off each time
you wash, and then pat on a
soothing lotion or a dab of
nouriShing cream.

Beauty Queries
and Answers
Powder "CakeS"

QueStiOn-My nose is very
oily, and my powder "cakeS."
What can / dO?-D. S.
Answer-Since your skin is so
oily, why not use an astringent
before applying your makeup?
1t would be a good idea to cut
down on the amount of fats and
sweets you eat, since these make
the oil glands work overtime.
Splashing cold water over
your face and neck each time
after cleansing them also is
beneficial to oily skins. If you
use creams on your face, do not
allow them to remain on over
night.

anyone who is not a consumer. In any event he can not sell to another person who is licensed under this law and who would be purchasing for re- sale. This means, says Mir. Policy, that grocery store must refuse to sell beer to restaurant where it would be finally sold to the consumer.
 A restaurant license will allow the holder thereof, continues MT. Policy, the right to sell beer which must be consumed on the premises where sold asd it cannot be sold without food. If beer is consumed in a restaurant without food it is done in violation of restaurant privilege and is being cold under the privilege of a ''bever- age dispensary" license. One person cal hold as many licenses to sell beer as he desires, and retailer can sell to consumer in any quantity.
 Any person purchasiny beer in a place licensed to retail beer, explains MT. Policy, cannot drink it on the premises and any person purchasing beer in place licensed as beverage dispensary must drink it on the prem ises.
 The consumer can best understand the apparent confusion which the foregoing paragraph causes, says the speaker, if he will remember that the only place where he can ]. purchase beer which he desires to consume away from the place where it is pur- chased is, in place licensed to retail beer. All other places are prohibited from selling if it is not to be con- sumed on the premises.
 In addition to the license feature of the beer aw, says MT. Foley, there is

OFFICIAL EXPLAINS LAW
 REGARDING BEER AND WINE
Anchorage Times)

E. M. Policy, tax clerk employed in the office of the Territorial Treasurer, arrived in Anchorage on last Satur- days train. MT. Polley's mission in Anchorage is primarily for the pur- pose of explaining the beer law,' and he states he wishes it understood that he is not here to citicise or de- fend the law, but only desires to have everyone understand some of it's an- gles in the same way all over Alaska.
 Certain sections of the beer law have caused little controversy in some communities as to just what they were intended to cover, and Mir Policy is informing all those licensed to sell, he stated, as follows:
 What is the difference between a wholesale license" and retailers icense"? That was one of the first questions presented to the Attorney General for interpretation, and he has advised the Governor of Alaska that 1t Is the opinion of this office that the wholesale dealer must sell to licensed dealers only and the retail dealer must sell to the public trade and not to licensed dealers, otherwise the retailer would become wholesale deaer in violation of the plain pro visions of the law providing for the licensing of the two classes of deal- ers.' In other words, the wholesale dealer sells to other persons for re- sale, and he is prohibited fom selling direct to the consumer, and the retail dealer is prohibited from selling to

an import or manufacturers tax jnl- posed on beer and wine. While the law is commonly referred to as the "beer law," it is intended to cover the trafficking in legal beer and wine, and when beer has only been neferred to it is intended to include wine except in matter of a beverage dispensary license. Beverage dispensaries are permitted to sell beer only, either draught or bottled, and are not al lowed to sell wine.
 The tax imposed is one-haf cent per trade pint, enc cent per trade quart, and $1.55 per barrel l31 U. S.. standard gallons), or five cents per gallon. If the beer, or wine, is man. ufactured in Alaska, the person or firm manufacturing must pay the tax direct to the Treasurer of Alaska and must make return on or before the 10th of each made, which is made under oath and pay the tax on the tota Amount of beer or wine manu- factured during the previous calendar month.
 Any person or firm who imports beer or wine, either from some place in the United States or Canada, must make a sworn return and send it to the Treasurer of Alaska on or before the tenth of every month and pay the tax called for on the total amount im- ported during the previous calendar month.
 An import tax will be demanded from the. person or firm in whose name the beer or wine is shipped in order that duplicate payments of the tax may be avoided.
 M. Policy wishes it understood by all concerned that the law provides 2 penalty for any violation fthe sec tion which prohibits the selling of beer or wine t oany person less than eighteen years of age, unless such person is accompanied by parent or legal guardian.
 MT. Policy believes that the com plete cooperation of the consumer will permit dealers to conduct the business for which the yare licensed with less friction, and it is for that purpose, he states, that he is in An chorage at this time.
