NEW YORK, March / G.N.S0.
Frances Perkins, first woman
member of a Presidential Cab
met, is accustomed to honors.
From the day, 81 years ago,
when she witnessed the Triangle
Shirtwaist Factory catastrophe,
she was destined to do things
other women either had not
dared to do or had been unable
to accomplish. She put the nat
ural sympathies of women for
the suffering Of humanity into
practical use.
Rewarded BY HOnOrS
AS secretary of the committee
on safety, organized to prevent
any recurrence Of the horrors of
the Triangle fire, she fought for
six years for better protection
of workers. and her committee
succeeded in jamming 80 regu-

Suggestions
For
Christmas
By Victoria Gaines

For the girl who's almost your
fiance-or at least, you hope
so-here are some Christmas
things you can give her that
will properly impress her with
your ability as the perfect pro
wider:
A white satin evening bag
that she can have dyed any
color to match her evening gown
without charge-or smart ALI"
gator bag that will go with prac-
tically all her daytime clothes
or a perfectly simple suede bag,
the one gift on which you simply
can't go wrong. And don't for

that's tucked into every we'll
behaved gift bag!
An evening handkerchief OF
net with her initial in the cor
ner for that personal touch
and if you want to be extra
thoughtful, get her two in the
colors of her evening ensemble.
A beret, scarf and cuff set Of
white erminepelz, that fur-like
fabric that all the girls are
wearing.
Or a sports hat and scarf set
of brightly colored crocheted
rounds-and don't worry about
sizes on either of these sets,
because they're both on elastic
foundations to fit any head size.

brunette. Every day increase
the amount of skin surface ex-
posed, at first gradually and
then rapidly.
Take care, however, not to
burn the skin. Let him tan
gradually.
e middle Of May or June l
(this is for Washington babies)
the entire body surface should
be receiving the sun bath.
If your baby is a late spring
or summer child the method Of
giving the first sun baths is a
bit different. You can expose
more surface from the first,
but you must be even more care
full about overexposure.
In Cold Climates
In cold climates real outdoor
sun baths, exposing more than
the face and hands, cannot be
given safely between the first
of November and the first Of
March.
However, on bright days the
baby, well wrapped, may be put
outdoors in the middle of the
day for a long summing. Protect
him, of course, from the wind.
The indoor sun bath is given
at an open window. The baby
Is placed in the patch Of IN
light coming through the open
ing. If he is protected from
drafts and the room heated he
need not be drapped too
warmly.
First expose the face, hands
and arms and if the sun Is
sufficiently warm even his shirt
may be removed. The mother
or nurse, however. should re-
main close by.
If the sun goes behind a
cloud cover him. BY holding
her own hands in the sun rays
the mother may determine how
warm IL actually Is.
Bottled Sunshine"
In temperate zones, such as
Washington, sunlight must be
supplemented with cod liver
oil.
Even though oaby was born
in the spring and has been re-
ceiving his sun baths through
out the summer he must have
his cod liver oil.
It should be given to every
baby throughout the first two
years of his life whether he is
breast fed or a "bottle baby"
In planning your baby's sun
bath discuss it with his doc
tor. There may be reasons
why your particular child
should receive special sun treat
ment. And his doctor will have
suggestions for you that will
be useful.

0AAAO0V AASAV'
Most of the new-looking
wraps you see at most smart
gatherings are long, or else
are very individual in their
shortness. Most of them are
of velvet, if they're not of
ermine. And nearly all Of
them have a queenly look
VeIvets Lead
Early in the season it looked
pretty much like white and
black winter. White velvets
Wed with black velvets for
favor, and many black velvets
had white fur, as they've had
for several seasons.
Velvet is used in many ways
and with varied trimmings, so
that no two wraps need be
alike, even if they are all OF
velvet. Loops of the material
make collars, scarfs are used,
shirring gives fulneSs, or lines
are slim and fitted.
Many FurS Good
Any fur is good, whether
long-haired or short-haired.
Such pelts as mink are lovely
on velvet wraps, while fox IS
usually employed in fairly IN
dividual ways, rather than Tor
lust "collar and cuffs" which
we've had before. Chinchilla
and good limitations Of 1t are
popular too.
Just to show how different
two long velvet wraps can oe,
we've pictured two of them to-
gether. On the left is a green
velvet, a jewel color, with chin
chilla collar that rolls in the
manner Of an Elizabethan ruff.
Shirring is used to good advan-
tage, and the wrap is full at
the bottom, so that it will look
all right with a train, or full
skirt.
Silver on Blue
On the right is a blue velvet,
sapphire this time. It has sill
yer corduroy collar and huge
covered buttons, and has lines
that sweep from the waist.
Shirring is used on this wrap,
but in an entirely different
way.

Laville are available in local
stores. For more information,

dressed, stamped envelope, or

Fair-Skinned

Fair Skinned
Question: Now hat winter is
here with its attendant formal
functions, FIVE got to be giving
some thought to my makeup.
I'm fair-skinned, and have found
that a peach shade of powder
blends excellently with my col
Oring during the daytime. In the
evening, however, this same pow.
der seems to give my skin a vel
lOwish look. How can I make
my skin look fair and white in
the evening? F. H.
Answer: It is not your powder,
but the artificial lights of eve
ming that give your face an un-
natural. yellowish appearance.
A violet shade of powder is gen.
orally suggested to dissipate this
effect. Mix about one-fourth of
a violet shade of powder in with
the peach powder that you gen.
orally use. and employ the mix
ture for evening wear. Just be
sure that you do not use too
much of the violet powder. as it
may then give your face a pur-
plish tinge. If properly blended,
this powder mixture will make
your skin LOOK delicately fair and
well groomed.

And what could be easier
than that?
Sleeping with the head boil
stored up by a pillow every
night is likely to have detri-
mental effect on the loneliness
of the neck. In the first place
this practice may result in the
development of an ugly pro-
truding vertebra.
Save the Lines
And in the second place,
when the neck is constantly
pushed forward in that man.
ner, the lines of the neck and
chin may be ruined, and the
development of a flabby double
chin may result.
OF course, if you feel that
you simply can't do without a
pillow under your head, then
use a very small thin one
which will not elevate the head
to any degree.
In order to preserve firm,
youthful, graceful neck, it is
also wise to practice neck exer-
cises daily. Such exercises will
also help to prevent the forma-
ton of the outh-destroying
double chin.
Here are two. You may take
your pick and we feel sure that
one of them will be beneficial.
Exercises
/. Stand erect, hands on the
back of the head, chin dropped
forward on the chest, and
shoulders relaxed forward, re-
sisting with your hands and
rear neck muscles until your
head and elbows are pulled well
back. Repeat IS to 20 times.
2. Stand erect, heels together,
arms hanging loosely at your
sides and throw your head far
back between your shoulders
and look directly at the ceiling.
Open your mouth wide and go
through an exaggerated chew
ing motion: permitting the
lower jaw to do all of the work.
Then with your head still
thrown back, turn it as far as
you can to the right, continue
chewing, then as far as you can
to the left, continue chewing;
back to the right five times, and
back to the left five times.
Now bring your head back to
its normal position, eyes looking
straight ahead of you, and turn
your head as far as you can
five times to the right then five
times to the left. You may do
this exercise many times during
the day. in fact, whenever you
are alone and thinking about it.

Dear Miss Fairfax:

other night he told me that

would be quits"
I didn't tell my parents be-
cause I'm IS and they'd say
I'm too young. Next time I
saw him he asked if I'd told

the house. But if I tell my
parents know it would be

If you told your parents, as
you've told me. how square this
boy has been about refusing to
meet you on the sly, I really
believe they'd let you have an
occasional date with him. or
at least let him come to see
you sometimes. Although, &C
cording to the "rules," which
I admit are pretty elastic these
days, girls aren't supposed to
have dates till they're at least

Questions
About Money

S'~~~V
Q.-HOw soon should one
begin teaching a child about
money? My little girl is six and
think it is time she was taught
thrift and how to handle money.
r.. Nj.
Alright you are. Children
should learn something about
money and its use while quite
little. A Six-year-old is quite
capable of telling the difference
between a penny and a nickel.
Teach her that a penny will
buy this pencil and a five cent
piece that ball. Although I am
against taking children into
crowds it might be we'll to let
her accompany you occasionally
on a shopping trip. Not too
prolonged a one however, and
not at a busy time of the day.
Maybe you could take her to a
store in your neighborhood.
Prepared Foods
Q.-What do you think Of
the prepared strained vegetables
and soups? They save a lot
Of time but am afraid to use
them without advice T. G.
A.-They are very convenient
and as a rule children like
them. But since this is sub
ject pertaining to the child's
individual diet I should sug-
gest you discuss it with your
doctor.
