morning train and for several years
until street car service was available

city of Washington. Street car serv-

silver Sequin gown plus scads Of
rhinestone jewelry is simply too
much of a good thing!
That goes for Sequin acces-
sories, too. Wear your sequin
capes and hats and bags this
seaSon-but with a perfectly
plain gown.
Severely Simple
When the frock itself has lots
of sequin trimmings on it, it's
better to keep your accessories
severely simple-unless you want
to look like a Christmas tree
all lit up!
Then there's this matter Of
evening hats. They're fetching
little affairs, we admit, but
not when they're worn indis-
criminatingly with everything.
Evening hats definitely do
not belong with formal evening
gowns-with the latter, you
wear a tiara, if fashion has
gone to your head.
Fur Combinations
Now about furs-just because
furs are more fashionable this
season than they've been for
many moons, is no reason for
wearing an er1nine-trimmed

Correct
Manners
BY MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN

Delayed Wedding Reception
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is it correct to give recep-
ton a week following the we'd
ding? Kindly advise if this
has been done before? H.
Yes, giving reception in
the new home week follow
ing the wedding is in entirely
correct form. And while it is
not often done, there is no
reason why it shouldn't be
done. n.
AS a matter of fact, I have
known quite a few brides-to-
be who have chosen to have
only the religious ceremony on
the marriage day, postponing
the reception until after they
return from their wedding jour-
ney. And personally I think
that this is an excellent idea'
and a very wise one.
The Napkin
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is it correct for guest to
crush his or her napkins on the
plate at the conclusion of the
meal, or should it be folded?
M.
A napkin-even paper nap
kin-should never be crushed
and put on the plate at the
end of a meal. This is an
unpleasant-looking proceeding,
and should not be done. The
thing to do is to place your nap
kin 'as is" (although you may
fold it if you wish to- at the
side of your plate, usually the
left side, but that doesn't make
any difference.
The Washington times., 1933-11-29

well. They rest the nerves and
relieve the mind for the nonce
of all petty trials and tribula-
tions.
Time Tried
The following treatment will
help to erase the lines and Wrin-
kles and is very simple.
First cleanse your face we'll
with a cleansing cream or one
of the cleansing liquids. Next
beat up the white of an egg and
spread all over your face. Leave
this on for five or 10 minutes,
if you have time. Then remove
with cold water, partly dry the
face with :. towel, and again rub
on a cleansing cream, all over
the face and neck. Remove this
with a tissue and apply a tissue
cream generously
With the tips of the two first
fingers on both hands, rub over
the eyelidS and under the eyes
in firm circular movement,
around and around, about 10
times.
Now take the open palms of
both hands and press them on
your face, little fingers meeting
over the nose and forehead. In
clude the nose and press with
a firm stroke out to the ears.
Do this five times.
Avoid Pounding
Now with the same open hand
stroke, do the lower part of the
face taking in the chin. The
same pressing back stroke can
be done on the neck, fingers
meeting at the back of the
neck. After five strokes for
each movement, remove the
cream and apply your astrin-
gent in this way:
Pour one-half ounce of as
tringent and an ounce of witch
hazel over a cube of ice, dip in
little squares of absorbent cot
ton and sponge the neck and
face thoroughly with these.
Then dry with a smooth towel.
This is a simple and very ef-
fective treatment. Follow the
same routine every day if you
can, but use the egg only once
or twice a week.
We have never advocated
pounding the tissues of the
skin, but feel that massage is
very beneficial and the delicate
action of the hands in this
facial will do wonders.

and play on a firm flat bed in a
warm room. Give him 10 to 20
minutes of such exercise morn
ing and evening.
Muscle Training
BY the time he is five or six
months old he will be able to roll
over himself and will try to sit
up. Let him be free to try as
much as he likes.
He is learning one of the first
lessons of posture. Watch him
and you will see his abdominal
muscles tighten each time he
tries to raise himself into a sit
tin position.
When the baby first sits up he
should have his back well sup
ported from the shoulders to
the hip.
Creeping
At 7 or months he should
be able to sit up by himself
and to creep on his hands and
knees. Creeping strengthens
muscles that later will help him
to walk and stand.
After while he will learn to
pull himself to his feet and at
last he will take a few steps. 1t
is not wise to urge him to
walk too soon.
Too early walking may keep
the natural bowling of the legs
from Strengthening out or may
actually make him bowlegged if
his bones are not strong enough
to bear his weight.
Coordination
Even when the child has
finally learned to stand and
walk his muscles have not yet
learned to work together.
This accounts for the un-
steady toddle of a newly walk
ing baby and the fact that he
keeps his feet far apart to pre-
serve balance.
The unsteady gait will not

perfectly healthy child will
quickly gain ability to control
his muscles and balance him.
self.
A child who has ricketts, may
bO late in learning to walk and
when learning will walk un-
steadily for months.
If your baby seems to you to
be unusually long in acquiring
the walking habit discuss his
iiet with your doctor.

the first stages.

Naughty Child

"A child who has frequent
outburst of mishebavior (who
is naughty from morning un-
til night'O should be carefully
considered from the standpoint
of health and hygiene. Is he
underweight? Is he receiving
adequate food, sleep, exercise?
Is he leading too exciting a life
with too much attention? Is
he receiving too little attention
when he is good? In what
way is he being handled un-
wisely? Maybe he spends too

Girls Lose Love by Gifts to
Boy Friends

Girls Lose Love by Gifts to
Boy Friends
"The Lord loveth a cheerful
giver," says the proverb, but
the same is not often true OF
the average best young man.
Every now and then some girl
writes me that, out of her hard
earned pay envelope, she has
helped the boy friend to pay for
his automobile which; in a
moment of "delusion of gran
deur," he agreed to pay for on
the installment plan.
And now what happens? He
takes another girl to ride right
past her window! This near
tragedy has been written to me
not by one girl, but at least 20.
Here's an extract from a Speci'
men letter:
Dear Miss Fairfax:
my life savings amounted Of
$1,282; did general houseWork
in a doctors family ever since
came to this country from
Sweden. I kept STEADY COM
pany' with a young man for
three years and we expected to
be married this coming Christ
mas.
Lost His Job
"He lost his job and told me
he couldn't get another unless
he had an automobile to go
around to the stores and take
orders. I was fool enough to
give him all I had, thinking it
would help him to get employ
ment. But instead, he began
going with a girl who enjoys a
better position than I, and now
he drives right past the place
where I work and sometimes
doesn't even say hello if he
sees me-"
There's no use in quoting
more OF Hilda's letter or the
letters from other Hildas that
have to do with the same sub
ject-that of live savings given
to young men and squandered.
Blood and Sweat
Don't give away, girls, what
you've accumulated with blood
and sweat. Remember that a
person with even $1,000 is more
important than a person who
has nothing. And Importance
count in love affairs, sad to say.
The tale of King Cophetua,
who made the beggar maid his
queen, is a fine subject Tor
poetry, and Tennyson made the
best of it. But, my dear girls,
and women, too, it's a far cry
from poetry to real life, and
the girl who has a nest egg
looks better to the average
young man than the girl who
has given him everything and
hasn't the price of dish pan"
with which to start houSekeep-
ing, as one of these girls who
had paid for a car wrote me.
Don't spend your last cent
on the boy friend. There is
some yellow streak in the av-
erage individual which resents
it! It takes a big soul to be
able to accept, return, and be
grateful.

Tongs that are light weight

are useful to pack fruits and
