When Manners
Are Correct
BY MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is there difference between
the At Home card sent with a
wedding invitation and one sent
with the wedding announce
ment? I think I heard some
one say there is.
I am not sure whether I want
to send At Home cards with my
wedding invitations or an
nouncements. Is it absolutely
necessary that they be sent?
They seem rather an unneces-
Sary expense.
What I would like is the Mr..
and Mrs. card with our future
address on it. BY your enthu-
siasm for these cards you have
aroused my enthusiasm, too;
they seem to have so many
uses.
Thank you for helping me on
these questions. F.
l. Yes; there >. is a very def
mite difference between the At
Home card sent with the we'd
ding invitation and that sent
with the marriage announce
ment. The difference, funda-
metally, in this: The At Home
card sent with the invitation
does not carry the married
name, since the couple are not
then married and the bride-to-
be has no right to use the name.
After the wedding, when the
announcement is sent, the card
may carry the married name.
This is the form of the At
Home card sent with the invi-
tation:
At Home
After the first of October
TDo Wyoming Avenue
PaWtucEet, Rhode Island
For the At Home cart sent
with the announcement, there
are two forms, either of which
is correct:
Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore Wells
Will be at home
After the first of October
TWo Wyoming Avenue
PGWtucket, Rhode Island
Or
Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore Wells
Will be at home
TDo Wyoming Avenue
After the first of October
PGWtucket, Rhode Island
2. 1t is not necessary to send
At Home cards, and in most
cases they are not sent. 1t is
proper to do what you think is
the more convenient.
3. Because I think the Mr..
and Mrs. card is such a conve-
nient item, I suggest that. if
you decide to send At Home
cards, you send them with your
announcements, using the Sec
ond of the two forms I have
given.
After it's use for the At Home
card, the plate can be used for
the Mr.. and Mrs. card. The
little lines at the side can be
taken off the plate by acid, or
covered in the next engraving.
Then the card becomes a per-
feet Joint visiting card for many
uses.

the eyes. If the face is cleansed
properly at night it is usually
sufficient to splash it with a
lot of cold water in the morn
ing.
Choose a pure plain soap that
reacts gently to your face. AS
has been said before, you can
tell if it is right. It should
leave the skin refreshed, in
vigorated and clean.
Many people believe in cleans
ing the face with cream eXclu-
sively or in collaboration with
soap and water, and there is
much to be said for the method
when the skin is irritated by
sun or cold.
A quick cleansing before
washing is useful when the
skin is very dirty. AS an ex-
elusive method for young skins,
however, it leaves much to be
desired according to dermatolog-
ical opinion.
Use of Cream
Any one of several types Of
cream may be used, a mineral
oil cleansing cream that melts
on the skin, a heavier cold
cream or oily cream, or semi
liquid creamy lotion.
The cream is applied with the
fingers and smoothed all over
the face. It should be left on
for few minutes to loosen
the dirt and then removed with
O tissue.
Occasionally the young per-
son might use a lump of ice
in a towel to stimulate to cir
culation, or sometimes at night
before retiring. she might mas
sage a skin food into the face
If the skin seems harsh or irri-
tated.
But neither of these practices
should become habits for the
young person with a normal
skin. It doesn't need it. And
above all, beware of the use Of
strong astringents.
The treatment 1 have sug-
gested is a simple daily rou-
tine, and should prove enough
for the average school or col
lege girl. I hope so.

once a day. preferably at
night, when you are through
with your studies, there should
be thorough cleansing, and in
most instances this calls for
good old soap and water, and
plenty of it.
Use a quantity of lather and
warm water, not hot. Scrub
thoroughly and rinse generously
with cold water.
Don't Skimp
In scrubbing it is a good plan
to use a light, firm rotary mo-
ton. Always proceed upward
and outward from the chin.
Cleanse with special care the
chin and nose, where black
heads are apt to congregate.
Do not skimp the neck or fore

Even a Bandage will Change
Our Manner


Copyright, 1888. King Features
Syndicate, Inc)
Observe a person with a band.
age and note how conscious Of
the fact he is. observe also
how he exaggerates the care
that a sore finger, for instance,
demands, or a bandaged eye.
And if he has injured his ankle
or leg ever so slightly he surely
puts on thick" the pain and
difficulty in walking from
which he is supposed to be suf-
fering.
Strange as it may seem, q
bandage often changes a person
ality in a most remarkable man
ner. Or perhaps it does not seem
so strange after all when you re-
call how proud you felt when
you wore a bandage as a child
and how eager you were to grasp
any opportunity of having one
applied.
Adds Importance
Children invariably show their
playmates any pimple or boil or
bruised skin and make a great
fuss about it. The more severe
an injury and the more gauze
that is used in binding it up the
happier they are.
A bandage enhances the ego
Of a child; it makes him i'm.
portant; it distinguishes him
from the rest; it elicits in,
quiries; it may even bring forth
sympathy and pity.
All these facts are likewise
true as regards adults. A ban
daged man or woman is a
marked individual who invari-
ably attracts attention. People
turn around to look at him.
They ask questions. They SYM
pathize. Thereby, Of course, his
self-esteem is augmented to a
decidedly pleaSurable degree.
Self-pity must, likewise, be
considered in this connection; a
failing, by the way, that few
do not succumb to and that
fewer still do not enjoy.
Self Pity
To be sorry for ourselves,
whether because of an accident,
an illness, an adverse turn of
fortune, or what not, produces
a kind of thrill that is undeni-
able, one that everybody is able
to observe in his own reactions
if he is honest enough, and
fearless enough, to detach him.
self and study his own charac-
ter as though it belonged to a
stranger.
Self pity, Of course, is kind
of relief; a relief from the strain
Of holding ones own in this
world of conflict; a relief from
trying to be liked. For when
we pity ourselves we simply let
ourselves go, even if it be with
a sense of defeat. That, how
ever, especially if we are SYM
pathized with by others, is a
very effective anodyne.
Although we tend to eXag-
gerate minor injuries and mis-
haps, serious mishaps usually
do not make us behave that
way.
Fear Changes
In such cases, fear steps in
and overshadoWs the glory of
being fused over. Here physi-
cal suffering must be considered
as we'll as disqualification, re-
duced income, restricted activ-
ity and all the other disagree
able features that accompany q
long illness.
In conclusion, it may be
pointed out that some people
indulge in bandage psychology
without bothering to wear one.
How many of your friends, for
instance, make a bid for your
sympathy because of misfortune
that you know, as we'll as they,
is grossly exaggerated?
Therefore, be on the alert for
bandage psychology in others.
Be also aware of it in yourselfl

WIND BURN
Question: / enjoy spending a
great deal Of time on the sea-
shore and in SailbOat, but my
reward past summers has been
a weather-beaten neck, and 1t
was certainly dreadful sight.
Is there something I can do
while at the beach this season
to keep my neck looking well?
MISS E. r. E.
Answer: Yes, there surely Is.
Use massage cream every
other night; on alternate nights
apply a bleach made of equal
parts of lemon juice and per-
oxide, one teaspoon of each will
be more sufficient for a single
treatment. I'd suggest that if
you are out in a blow, or dur
ing a rainstorm, and I know a
real ocean-going person like
yourself enjoys even the turbu-
lent moods of the sea, you wear
a soft, woolly scarf about your
neck. It should be very soft,
since friction with anything
scratchy and rough, roughens
and discolors the neck.

DRY LIPS

Question: Will you please

Sincerely, Miss M. Nj.
Answer: Perhaps you are put
ting on too much. Leave them
alone for a few days, then
apply a rich cream sparingly
before you go to bed. Lip
pomades are excellent for day
use. Or you might use a really
good lipstick-the better known
brands are all good. Be care
full not to bite your lips or to
wet them. That will make them
dry.

Love Versus Religion

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been going with a girl
for more than a year, and am
devotedly in love with her. She
belongs to one church, and I
belong to another which is op-
posed to her faith; or rather,
my mother does, and she consti-
tuteS the obstacle. Curiously
enough, our families are very
well acquainted and seem to be
on good terms. But I am no
longer invited to her house, nor
is she made welcome in mine.
We love each other very much
and would like to know what
you think is best to do.
w. H. S.
If you have followed this COL
umn, you must know that re-
ligiouS intolerance is about the
last thing to which I would sub
scribe. And while ones own
belief must be governed by ones
conscience, I can never see a
reason for punitive measures
against people who do not agree
with us in our spiritual belief.
There's such a thing as Give
and let live" policy in regard to
religion, as in other matters,
and have known a great many
happy couples who belonged to
different churches. Here's hop
ing that both families exercise
a little more tolerance toward

"Is Stamp Language Common
or Vulgar?"
Dear Miss Fairfax:
My boy friend bawled me out
because I put the stamp on my
letters to him to mean differ

language was common and vul-
gar, and not to write to him
again in that way. This hurt
my feelings real badly. Do you
consider the stamp language
common and vulgar?

No. I should not apply terms
as strong as common" and

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-Authorities
today began delving into the fnan-

Search Of the probate record of
Cook county reveals that DR.. Frank
Eldridge Wynekoop, dead father-in-

estate valued at S73500.
Of this sum, S65,000 was in realty
and the remainder in cash and
personal property. DR.. Wynekoop
died Jan. ?, 1929, without making
will.
Got Third of Estate
Consequently, oneAthird of the
estate went to DR.. Alice Wynekoop
the widow, and the remainder was
divided equally among the three
children, Walker, James Earle and
Frances Katherine.
The widow was made administra-
trix on papers filed by Attorney H
E. Wynekoop, brother of DR.. Frank
Wynekoop.
Further search of probate rec
ords revealed that DR.. Alice Wyne-
koop and her son Earle were named
executors in the estate of Miss Kate
M. Porter, aged spinster and for
mer patient of Dr. Alice.
The Wills for Probate
Two of Miss Porters wills were
filed for probate, but because the
heirs have engaged in litigation, the
estate has not been settled
The wills disposed of an estate
