Easy to Crochet a
Luncheon Set
For Fall

At last another luncheon set
to crochet! Followers Of this
column have always enjoyed
making them, and they're more
in fashion now than ever, so
it's high time we offered in
StructionS for another.
You'll find much of the fem
inine world working away at
them this fall and winter, and
more and more women using
them for their table. The vogue
seems even stronger than the
vogue for crocheted and knitted
Wearables, and that is saying
a good deal.
An Easy Pattern
The design we're showing to-
day is simple and easy to
make, but very effective. The
patterns of squares is quite at
tractive, but not too fussy. Sim
pie patterns are always easier
to use, for all sorts of china
and glassware goes with them
we'll.
There's an advantage in max
ing this pattern too, in that it's
made of squares, so you can
carry around only a small part
Of it at a time. When you're
through with several squares,
you sew them together to make
a place mat or center runner
Use Two COlOrS
Color is new and fashionable,
used with white or natural COL
ored thread. The suggestion in
the directions is to make this
set of ecru and green thread,
the most of the mat ecru, the
corners green.
Other combinations may be
worked out, to go with your
china, or your dining room. It
looks much prettier than it
sounds in mere words. We will
gladly send you the directions,
free Of charge, but don't forget
the stamped envelope.
For instructions for making
this luncheon set, send a self
addressed, stamped envelope to
Wilma Laville, care of The
Washington Times.

Try This Recipe

Sandwich Roll
Rolled sandwiches are about
the easiest and quickest kind to
make. Slice milk bread as thin
as possible. Lay slices in a
damp cloth for half an hour.
Spread thinly with butter and a
little mayonnaise. Place one
tip of canned asparagus in each
slice and roll. Stick a piece OF
parsley or watercreSs in one
end.
For a cheese roll, color cheese
with vegetable coloring, what
ever color is desired. Spread on
bread previously treated as
above. Roll tightly and place
in an ice box until thoroughly
chilled. Then slice the roll in
thin slices. These can be
toasted, but the color shows up
better If left plain.
Open faced tomato sand
wiches are made by placing a
slice of tomato on a round Of
buttered bread about the size
of the tomato slice. Sprinkle
over with salt and mashed yok
Of hard cooked egg.

Friendship
)ear Mrs, Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I live with a married sister.
We have had an argument and
7 am leaving her. She has a son
of four, whom I love very much.
Can you tell me a way IN
which I can continue seeing my
nephew without seeing his
mother?
I absolutely will not make up
with her as she hurt me very
much. B.
How I wish 7 could persuade
you to become friends again
with your sister, before this
breach Widens so much that
this would become difficult and
perhaps impossible. This state
of affairs is so unfortunate, so
terribly and tragically unfor-
tunate that I would so wish to
save you from its consequences.
There are so many curious
forces in the world today, we
are apt to say quickly some
thing that we don't at all mean,
and we are so apt to let me go
without explaining them or
without explaining that we
didn't mean them. And sisters
are so precious, and their little
boys are so precious. won't
you please reconsider, dear girl?
This kind Of pride, this kind OF
frigid unforgiveneSs, is really

Flashes
By ALICE ALDEN


Your duty to your wardrobe
means that you must own at
least one good utility or travel
coat. A new model, done in
red brown homespun with a
hairy surface has a notched
collar, full tuxedo revers and
deep cuffs, all of mink gills.
OUT OF THE ZOO come
many ideas for bag novelties.
And SO we have a new autumn
bag of alligator with a tiny
leather clasp in the form Of
tiny alligator used as a fasten-
ing. The bag has gold link
chain handles.
AN EXCELLENT MATCH is
using the same eye shadow as
the color of evening costume
jewelry. Thus, with a white
satin gown, one smart girl
wears a bandeau made of purple
glass balls, matching a cluster
of purple glass grapes worn on
one shoulder. With this she
uses purple eye shadow, a smart
idea at a small outlay.

All of you probably know that
mascara comes in four colorS-
blue, green, brown, and black.
And we hear from Hollywood
that Tallulah Bankhead ap-
peared recently with red eye
shadow on. That effect should
be most bizarre! I wonder if
there is red mascara to go with
It.
Color Hints
I do approve of the use of one
Of the above shades to make you
look more fascinating in the
evening.
If you have blue eyes, for in

use just a touch of blue eye
shadow on the upper lid. Apply

l OF. each of table salt, OK
marrow and lanolin. Mix
thoroughly and massage into
breasts with circular upward
motion.
Oily Skin
Q.-Can you suggest a good
remedy for oily skin? I. M.
A.-Treatment for this condi-
ton should start with plenty OF
soap and warm water. The
soap should not be a medicated
variety, but just a plain facial
brand as the alkali content
more readily dissolves the oil.
Continue the soap and water
treatment just as often as the
oil reappears. If a cleansing
cream is also used it must be
removed entirely with tissue,
and an astringent lotion is also
advised. Ice applications also
stimulate circulation and tone
tissues. Place cracked ice in a
towel, saturate with witch hazel
and rub over face and neck.
Attention to diet should be paid
by the woman reflecting this
type skin. Fatty food should
be eliminated and starches and
sweets restricted. Take plenty
of exercise and eat all the
greens, vegetables and fruits
you can.
Eye PuffineSS
Question - What causes

arising in the morning? Sec
Ondly, how can 1 reduce my
abdomen? Mrs. r. l..
Answer-Mrs. R. L.: Puffs
under the eyes are sometimes
inherited. Or they are caused
by fatigue or intestinal dis
orders. To allay them try
bathing first with hot water,
then with cold, massaging
gently with coconut oil or ano-
lin, working with the first fin
ger from the eye corner in
toward the nose. Fresh air,
long hours of restful sleep, and
a balanced diet are all helps.
There's an exercise which
might be good for you. Lie
flat on your back with your
arms outstretched to the sides.
Bring the left knee up, circle
1t to the right four times, to
the left four times, and down.
Bring the right knee up and
circle it likewise. Then bring
both knees up, circle them to
the left four times, then to the
right four times, and down.
The bicycle exercise is excel
lent also.

Loves Her Truly, But Drink
Bars Him From Proposing
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 33 years of age and
seriously in love for the first
time in my life with girl of
20. I have a disgusting vice.
I am a periodical drunkard.
This habit I acquired at college
and have never been able to
rio myself of it.
When I drink, I touch the
bottom of degradation; I'm
more of a beast than a man.
My girl, who comes from a
family which is strictly tenn
perate, although not teetotallers,
didn't known what was the mat
ter with me, when she saw me
under the influence of liquor
on one occasion. She thought
I was ill and was sorry for me.
She doesn't know drink,
neither do her parents. For
when I go off, I make a
thorough job of it-go to hotel,
usually in another city, and
drink until the point of satura-
tion is reached. 1t seems un-
fair to marry this girl, and
yet she loves me devotedly. I
hesitate to tell her Of this vice.
Altogether I am pretty miser-
able. K. Y. z.
You haven't told me whether
you have ever tried a cure or
not. Sometimes they are highly
successful. But, cure or no
cure, you shouldn't think Of
marrying a girl unless she
knows all about these lapses.
Even then, it's a question Of
whether you should take ad-
vantage Of her love and marry
her, even if she is willing.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I met a young man "a years
old and liked him very much.
He claimed to like me, too,
but I couldn't let well enough
alone, and pretended to be
angry with him, just to test
his feelings for me. Then I
made up, but he doesn't bother
with me any more; he got him.
self a new girl whom he met
shortly after I staged that
mad.
He told my girl chum that
he doesn't like this new girl
as we'll as he does me. Do you
think there is any way Of get
ting him back?
MISS "SMARTY."
AS he's told your friend he
likes you better than the new
girl, it looks as if your chances
of being restored to favor
after he has staged his reprisals
are very good, indeed. But
for mercy's sake, my dear, if
you do make up, drop these
foolish "tests" which you prob
ably picked up at the movies
or in some story.
Do you happen to remember
the romantic poem of the lady
who, to test her lovers devo-
tion, threw her glove into the
lions den. The gallant went
into the den and got the glove,
the poem concluded with: "He
threw the glove, but not in
love, right in the lady's face"
Tests like this are fine on
the screen, but poor stuff in
real life.

Man has always prided him.
self upon his wisdom. Par.
ticularly has the male poked
fun, and repeatedly, at the
ladies whom, he asserts, are led
into style changes which often
are costly and which some
times even approach the ridicu-
lous.
Nevertheless, despite women'S
complacence where the dictates
of fashion are concerned, one
must admit that when it comes
to comfort they have been dis
playing remarkable sagaclty.
Gradually they have adopted
shorter skirts and even "knlck-
ers" when the occasion suits
such garments, and most de-
cidedly have they reduced all
clothing to a minimum during
hot weather.
"DOg Days"
When the "dog days" are with
us alert minds become dull; the
imagination, otherwise active,
simply does not function; reas-
oning is blurred; memory talls;
concentration and physical eX-
ertion come close to being
torture.
ANY observant male must
have noted these changes in
himself. He must have been
struck by his decided lowering
of efficiency for excessive heat
not to mention his own per-
sonal discomfort.
To be sure, a sensible attl-
tude seems to be in evidence
this year. More linen, crash
and lightweight suits are to be
seen on the streets: flannelS
are much in vogue; leaving the
sack coat off entirely, fore
swearing the stiff, startched
collar, and going around in
polo shirts open at the neck
are customs which the male OF
the species are slowly adopting.
But why not more men?
Why not all men?
To be sure, a man is unusually
conservative when it comes to
adopting anything new in wear
ing apparel. The younger
bloods are not so hidebound.
They enjoy a fit of fuss and
change and even go in for
bright colors. The oldsters,
however, frequently show a
definite and stubborn resistance,
Women Help
Is it perhaps that some men
get a kick out Of complaining?
Is it that they like to plod along
in heavy woolens, clumsy shoes
and stiff hats in order to have
an excuse for letting off extra
steam?
Well, some men at least do.
Were you to confront them
with an article such as this
they would probably defend
themselves by saying they abhor
being conspicuous or that the
ultra in summer dress does not
look dignified.
Here's where the women can
step in and save the day!
Women can do a lot with
men. They can, indeed, do
more with them than the men
can with themselves. All they
have to do is insist upon SEN
Sible clothes for the hot weather
and presto! It is accomplished.
After all, it is the women
who, in the last analysis, do
most of the suffering. Fol-
when a man is irritable he is
likely to take it out on the
women folks at home.
Therefore, Women Of Amer
lea, it looks as if it is up to
YOU!
