Fashion Questions

Dear Miss Gaines:
Could you advise me as to
the proper appare. to be worn
by bride and groom at a Sun
day noon wedding to be held
In a private home?
Miss j. S., Long Branch.
From your letter, I gather
that you must mean an in
formal wedding without the
traditional white satin gown
and veil. In that case. the
most formal type of afternoon
frock is worn by the bride,
preferably in crepe or velvet in
light colors. Simple, dignified
lines are most suitable-if it
has short sleeves, wear elbow
length gloves with it. Your hat
may be of the small, close
fitting type with short shower
veil of tulle or net for a bridal
touch. It should be made Of
the same material as the frock.
II posSible-if not, have it
match very closely. Wear suede
opera pumps and light hosiery
and carry flowers to blend
with the color of your gown.
The groom'S costume is a
much simpler matter-a dark
business suit, with tie, shoes.
etc. to match.

should be used, whether in
soaps or liquids. Dry sham
poos may be used occasionally,
not more frequently than once
q month.
If the white haired woman
has hair inclined to be naturally
curly here is an excellent sug-
gestion for after-shampoo treat
ment. Let the hair dry thor
oughly by natural rather than
artificial means, then brush it
vigorously until the oil is dis
tributed evenly along the hair.
Special RinseS
Dip a comb into scalding
hot water and moisten the
hair lightly over the top OF
the head and where it frames
the face. Push the hair into
soft waves, ripping back from
the face, and draw it down
over the ears. When the
hair is dried and the natural
wave is set, you will have a
soft halo Of hair which should
comb easily into place until
time for the next shampoo.
There are special rinses for
white and graying hair. Here
is one that should be snap
for you to try at home:
French Purple is used as a
rinse much the same as bluing
is used to whiten clothes. You
can make your own by shaw
ing a small amount of lead
from an indelible pencil into
a quart of warm water until
it is a light purple in color.
Pour through the hair several
= times. The hair will have
blush cast, but if dried in
the sun it will come out beau
tiful and white.
The concensus among beau
ticians is that graying or white
hair is the most becoming
frame for the older face. The
effect is Strikingly evident
when the face happens to be
fresh and youthful.

SUGGESTIONS for the Kitchen

lengthwise, removing the yolks.
Place the whites on hot plat
ter hollow side up. Fill the
centers with the mushroom
mixture. Place the remaining
mushrooms around the eggs.
Put yolks through a sieve and
sprinkle them lightly over the
mixture. Garnish with parsley
and serve at once.
EGG OUTLETS
2 hard cooked eggs
cup milk
tablespoons flour
tablespoon butter
tablespoons grated cheese
Minced onion
Parsley or celery to taste
Salt Pepper
Make a white sauce of the
butter, flour and milk. Put the
eggs through a coarse sieve.
Combine the eggs and other
ingredients with the white
sauce and let the mixture stand
until cold. Shape into small
outlets. Beat an egg and add
three tablespoons of milk. Dip
the outlets in the egg mixture,
roll in bread crumbs and fry

Good for Afternoon
But satin is still good too.
It came out months ago, really
in summer. The first satins
were dotted, or made into suits
to fill that awkward gap be-
tween summer and fall. But
now it's time to wear winter
satinS. They are smart for
afternoon and evening, and are
just as good as they were two
months ago.
There are many ways of
using satin this fall. It may
be draped into a severely
simple gown, depending on the
soft sheen of the material,
and on color for it's beauty.
Or it may be youthful in
line and trimming. Satin is
the sort Of fabric that can
be worn by anybody, and looks
equally well on women of all
ages, and almost all figures.
On Madge Evans
One Of the loveliest satin
afternoon gowns we've seen is
shown in our photograph today.
It's worn by Madge Evans, who's
to be seen in Dinner at Eight"
here in town. The dress was
designed by Irma Kirby, one of
the school of young American
designers who have come in for
such praise the last season or so.
Linen, Lace Trimmed
The dres is slim and simple,
really plain enough for street
wear if you cover it with a coat.
It has moderately puffed sleeves,
just below the elbow, and small
Satin-covere buttons used in
important places. Its crowning
achievement, however, is the
white handkerchief linen collar
and jabot that cascade so grace
fully about the neckline. They
are edged with fine lace.
Black or Brown
And the best part of this
dress is that we've found it in
a Washington store. It's priced
$29.75, is in black or brown
satin with the same lovely linen
collar, and may be worn by any
one of US, as well as by the
lovely Madge Evans.

BEECKMAN
Thanks for KindneSSeS

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Cd A few weeks ago I was in
an accident and taken to place.
I did not know the people and
they were very kind to me, and
I made them a lot of extra
work. In what way should I
thank them for their kindness?
(2) also received many lovely
flowers and letters and fruits.
I thanked the givers personally
but feel as if this is not enough.
What would you advise? Should
I write a note of thanks, and
if so, what should I say? And
should I write the notes on
nice white writing-paper or
correspondence cards?
90 Is it proper to answer all
letters received while I was i'll?
I really think it is.
COUNTRY GIRL.
/. You should, first of all,
go to see them, even if they
live out of town, so that you
can personally and adequately
express your thanks to them. If
they live so far away from you
that this is impossible, then
you should make your letter Of
thanks to them especially ar
ticulate. especially say your
deep thanks and gratitude.
To the hostess of the home,
you should send flowers, with
your note, perhaps. Or if you
can think of something that
could be sent to her or to the
family, some present that would
be in excellent taste, this would
be a fine thing to do. Such
kindness as this deserves every
gesture that we can make with
taste. In other words, send
nothing that would seem like an
effort to "pay'' for their kind
nesses, but something that will
graciously and sweetly say
thanks added to your words.
2. Yes, you should write a
note of thanks to each kind
giver and write these notes on
note paper or letter paper, not
on correspondence cards. Tell
these friends how much you ap-
preciate their thoughtfulness,
and the flowers that brought
you so much pleasure and hap
piness.
3. Yes, this is the gracious
thing to do.

Wedding Wells

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
If a girl wears a veil is it
necessary to have her father
give her in marriage? My
father refuses to do this, and
I would like to wear a veil.
Is it necessary to have a re-
ception just because you wear
a veil, or would it be proper
for the wedding party of four
to go directly to supper, as we
intend to do?
Is it necessary to have invi-
tations printed or can we do
without them? F..
1. Usually it isn't required
that a girl be given in mar
riage unless she wishes to have
this part of the ceremony in
cluded. Plan to have a talk
with the minister who is to
perform the ceremony and ask
him about this. 1t isn't the
fact that you are planning to
wear a veil that is the answer,
but whether or not your de-
nomination demands this part
of the ceremony.
2. It is not at all necessary
to have a reception, even if you
have the most formal of we'd
dings and wear the bridal veil.
3. If you are having only
few people to your wedding, it
is not at all necessary to have
engraved invitations. Your
mother may write a note Of
invitation, or, if this is not con-
venient, you may write the
note of invitation yourself.

Optimist

The house is old, the house

It's stricken timbers quake and

At every gust and every gale,
At every breeze Of life.
Like a defenseleSs city, laid
Open to pillage, sore afraid,
In all its parts aghast, dis

1t shrinks from thought Of
strife.
The house is old; but, ali, I
see
The beauty that once used
to be
Within its shining walls for me
In days when it was new!
And now, as then, I find it
fair
Because the tenant dwelling
there,
Untouched by weariness or
care,
Is plain before my view.
The house is old: some never

The undiminished loveliness.
Enduring through all change,
all stress,
Aglow within that place;
But I can see it's gleam, and so
I hold it dear as long ago;
For me those charms still

Raving Beauty
Question: Life is just one
great big mistake in so far as
my beauty goes. My nose is
much too large and my mouth
is much too small. My hair
never stays in place the way
it should. The bun at the
back of my head looks merely

what would you suggest to make
me a raving beauty?-M.A.A.
Answer: Just a couple of ap-
preciative grins for you, M. A. A.
When one can look at ones
self with so satisfactory
sense of humor, why crave to
be a raving beauty? I wouldn't
trade a good laugh at life for
all the perfect noses in the
world. The hair with the bun
can be improved methinks. AS
violently against touching up"
the hair as we are under ordin-

Advice 7 O
loveIorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
What Fate for a Girl If Mother
Was a Flapper?

What Fate for a Girl If Mother
Was a Flapper?
There's a new alibi for boys
and girls Of 16 or so, who have
too many precocious love af.
fairs, and who, besides, are list
less, discontented, melancholy.
1t may be that their mothers
were flappers.
Have you forgotten them
those notorious youngsters Of .
brief generation back, now
mothers of 16-year-olds? And
have you forgotten "ThiS Side
of Paradise" the widely read
novel in which the brilliant
young American, Mr.. F. Soft
Fitzgerald, revealed the flapper
as she really was?
Mr.. Fitzgerald has been
watching flappers grow up.
And it happens that both he
and his own young daughter,
Frances, believe, according to a
recent interview, that the chill
dren Of ex-flappers are "out Of
luck"
In the days when Mr.. Fitz-
gerald became an authority on
flappers and flapperism, flap
pers were exciting girls to write
novels about. They were such
slouchy, provocative little crea-
lures, with their daredevil ways
and their don't care" manners!
They gained the attention of
the entire male sex by the cock
tails, cigarettes and lipSticks
that they airily flourished in
public, and they took their
elders breaths away by the
brazen fashion in which they
were said to allow themselves
to be made love to. CYou see,
their mothers hadn't done any
of these thingsD
All this was the result Of the
war, as everybody agreed. The
boys and girls of the decade
just after the war were un-
happy and reckless. Nobody
understood them. FlapperS were
a natural product of that tragic
time.
And to tell the truth, it
wasn't just their daring CO.
quetry that made these old
young girls so different from
other generations. It was the
callousness the poor little crea-
lures displayed-the desperate
selfishness.
Now they're married, most Of
them, and they're mothers.
And some people believe they
are not very good ones. AS Mr..
Fitzgerald puts it:
Their own lack of religion
and moral convictions makes
them incompetent to train their
children.
THE kids with ex-flapperS
for mothers are having pretty
sorry treatment over most of
this country"
It's rather a depressing pic
ture, isn't it? But like many
startling assertions, this one
may be only partly true.
Sixteen year old girls and
boys have always had a ten
dency to be none too fond of
work and, it may be, a good
deal too fond of pleasure. Boys
have always been more inter-
ested in girls, and girls in boys,
than their parents have thought
advisable. They've never cared
much, as we all know, FOR
minding the baby. or washing
the dishes, or moving the lawn.
They've had a marked prefer
ence for leading their own
lives and conducting their own
little secret romances, usually
harmless ones.
Are we obliged to consider,
then, that the newest genera
ton of all, the flapper-bred
generation, is a hopeless one?
Let's give them a chance before
we count them lost. Let's wait
until these youngsters are 20
before we make up our minds
that their flapper-parents have
completely failed. They may
surprise us, after all.
