Love|orn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Admits He Has a BeaStly
Temper

ACAhPCA
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I've been going with a girl
for the last two years, and
we love each other very much
and have been planning on
getting married very soon, If
possible. But I have a beaStly
temper.
I pick a fight with her at
the slightest provocation and
make things miserable for her,
and then when she can't stand
what I do and the means
things I say, he starts to cry.
Then when I've made her cry,
I change completely. I'm truly
sorry for what I did or said
and would do anything in the
world to undo or take back my
brutality. really do love and
respect this girl. I want her
for my wife. She forgives me
and then we are very happy
until I start one of my fights
again, which is very frequent
lately.
Heaven knows I want to
make her happy, but it just
seems that I do my worst in
stead. Can you tell me what
is the matter with me and how
I could make her happy in
stead of Wretched, because I
know she loves me.
PUZZLED BOY.
Your self-control must be
about zero, since you see the
cause of your troubles so clearly
and yet persist in keeping on
in the same old trouble-mak-
ing routine.
And now really hate to
say this, but there are some
people who enjoy a fight about
as much as they do a cocktail.
It's a sort of pick-me-up.
Starts the circulation, offers
scope for dramatic effects, and
later the honeyed peace of rec
onciliation. But experts who
delve in our SubconsciouS minds
haven't a good word to say for
these quarrel-and-cr -create-your-
own cocktail people.
So I devoutly hope, since
you see and acknowledge your
fault, that you'll turn over
new leaf. If the girl wrote to
me, I believe I'd tell her some
thing you wouldn't. Or, at
least, I'd suggest passing you
up, until you cured yourself
of quarreling, for the joy of
displaying your temper.

Fashion Fads and
Fancies
By ALICE ALDEN

WE LIKE TO BE RUFFLED
when it comes to the evening
silhouette. It is so youthful and
attractive. A new dance frock
of burnt orange chiffon has ruff
files maSsed from the waist to
hem in back. Ruffles mark the
shoulder line. The frock is high
in front, deep in back.
TT ISN'T TOO LATE to make
a cenSation at a Summer re-
sort by wearing clothes that are
different. For instance, one
young woman wears something
quite new. 1t is a suit, skirt and
Jacket, of white satin. With it
is worn a blouse of dark blue
crepe and a dark blue baku hat.
JUST AROUND THE COR
NER are those brisk days that
call for sports furs. A grand
coat for every day wear is Of
DEOWLl Udh CO1O1 ouPPAC NANAoNAAAI
done in a three-quarter-length
box silhouette. It has wide
double cravat of self fur and
straight sleeves with gauntlet
cuffs.
A NEW HIGH is observed in
many of the new toques. A
toque to taupe gray velvet done
in spiral effect is given added
height by a fancy posed right
at the top of the spiral folds.
1t is in light gray feather pads,
birds heads with polished black
beakS.
AN INCOMPLETE AFFAIR
is the suit without it's own
matching topcoat. A splendid
Autumn suit of brown and green
pencil striped tweed has a long
matching topcoat and a scarf Of
corduroy velvet in matching
ColorS.

You can continue any home
treatment you are giving your
skin at little cost to yourself.
And, of course, I advise you
never to miss day, even in the
simplest routine.
Two or three days of neglect
will ruin a weeks treatment.
Many of the best skin special
lists are putting up small kits
with a few creams and other
things essential to attractive
makeup. which you can easily
slip into the smallest suitcase
for your week-tnd trip.
Complete Kits
I have in mind an especially
pretty little box which I saw in
the shop of one of the leading
skin specialists, up on Connecti-
cut Avenue, the other day. 1t
contained the eSsentials-cleanS-
ing cream, a skin food, a cream
powder base, skin tonic, the TIM
est box of powder, and soft tis-
sues for the removal of face
cream,
These articles were fitted
charmingly in the little kit, no
larger than a candy box. OF
course, If you feel particularly
lavish, you lay purchase a
larger and more elaborate as
Sortment of creams, etc. But
in the box I have mentioned
are the essentials, and really
all you will need for a short
trip.
If you have been in town
all summer and are planning
this one brief vacation, you will
have to be very careful Of sun
burn. Even if you have been
able to acquire several good
coats Of tan, summer is prac-
tically over, and you don't want
to get a burn so late in the
season.
1t will look ugly with your
fall clothes.
Avoid Burns
There are many good sun.
burn preventatives on the mar
ket, and if you do not choose
to use them, or do not wish to
shade your face, try a mild
bleach after you have gotten
your first light coat.
On the other hand some of
you probably will want to get a
light burn, no matter what
season it is, just to show you
have had the benefits of a
short vacation. If this is the
case, cover your skin with a
good protective oil, something
that will lubricate the skin.
Nothing drys the natural oils
in the skin as much as the sun.
And presto, wrinkles will form.
If you can't afford ready
made protective oil, coat the
skin with olive oil, or sweet
almond oil.
I will be glad to tell you
where any of the articles men
toned may be secured, if you
will write to me.

Dr.. Bisch: S Daily
Diet Hint

Infants who are brought up
on the bottle require food in
addition to milk. Among these
are orange juice and cod liver
oil, tomato juice, egg yolk, car
rotS, leafy vegetables like let
tuce, cereals and bread. The
amounts of such extra foods
and the age at which to give
them should always, however,
be outlined by the physician
who is supervising the baby.

Correct
Manners
BY MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
l. Are the little lace jackets
worn with the dresses at all
times, or are they left off if the
dress is worn at formal affairs?
2. Is it proper for a lady to
check her wrap at theater?
3. On the dance floor what is
the proper expression of apology
when you collide with another
couple? E.
l. The wearing of the jacket
with the dress usually gives the
costume an informal air.
2. Yes, if she really wishes to,
but it is really better and more
convenient if she wears her
wrap and lays it back on her
chair. She may wish to have
her wrap if she goes out be-
tween the acts, and she will GER
tainly find it most inconvenient
if she has to stand in line to re-
claim it after the play.
3. I'm sorry" or I'm so
sorry" is the best or, if
you prefer, please pardon me-"

The Wedding Cake

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I hope to be a winter bride,
and I feel the need of your
helpful advice. My wedding is
to be very quiet and informal.
/. My trouble seems to center
around the wedding cake. Will
you please help me? When the
bride cuts the cake, which layer
does she cut? Does she cut it,
or only insert the knife?
2. In sending out little boxes
of cake to friends, how soon
after the wedding should they
be sent? Should the cards ac-
companying the cake be written
or engraved, and what should
be on them? CLAIRE.
l. Usually the bride cuts the
first piece of cake, cutting en-
tirely through the layers. Often
she cuts the entire cake, espe-
cially at the informal kind of
wedding that you say yours is
to be. This is a particularly
charming gesture on the part
of the bride, and of course,
especially pleaSes the guests,
since they like to have the
bride cut the entire cake. 1t
causes much gaiety and much
delightful conversation.
2. 1t is very much better
form, more cosmopolitan form,
to give a box of wedding cake
to each guest at the wedding
reception, rather than to send
the boxes. However, if you
especially wish to mail these
boxes to your friends, they
should be sent as soon after
the wedding as possible. 1t
would not be necessary to have
special cards engraved for this.
Send with each a small note,
or message written in the
back Of your visiting-card.

Secrets OF
Health
By LOUIS E. BISCH. MD. Ph.D.
honor Is An Inherent Trait
Common to All.

honor Is An Inherent Trait
Common to All.
When we read about the
crimes that daily are perpe-
trated throughout the country
especially that most heinous
variety of all, the kidnapping of
innocent children-it Is diff
cult to make oneself believe
that sense of honor is still
shared by all.
Yet consider the following:
Some time past, I was mo-
toring through a country dis
trict in one of our nearby
States. Stopping at the local
store my eye caught sight of
an unusual contraptiou which
stood outside the door and
which bore the sign Honor
System"
What this apparatus turned
out to be was a sort of self
help newspaper stand. One
deposited 3 cents in a coin
slot and took ones own paper
from a pile that was ready at
hand. No locking device was
attached. One simply selected
so many newspapers as de-
sired and slipped the price in
cents through the slot.
Frankly, what interested me
more than the novelty of the
device was whether the store
keeper always found that the
number of cents tailed with
the number of newspapers
taken. I questioned him on this
point.
1--WE had that thing working
now for a year." he replied.
"Never has the machine been
a cent short although I leave
it out all night. What's more,
it sure saves me a lot of time
and bother"
Perhaps you will think that
some people preserve their code
of honor when it comes to
small amounts but that they
slip up, so to speak, if larger
sums are involved.
But ought it not, really, work
the other way round? A
human beings conscience
doesn't hurt him so much when
he commits petty offenses
against moral standards; there
fore the temptation to do so
should be particularly great in
comparatively trivial instances.
There is a restaurant in New
York city where one tells the
cashier how much food one has
consumed. Nobody checks up
on the customer in any way.
The manager of this place told
me that placing people on their
honor never failed to elicit the
proper reaction.
The so-called "honor system"
in school and college eXamina-
tions is likewise working salts
factorily everywhere, In eact,
students do better work when
they are not watched, when,
one might say, they are not
suspected of being dishonest
until, they have proved them
selves to be honest.
Yes, even criminals possess a
code of honor.
To be sure, one may take
exception to its rules. Never
theless "squealing on pal"
withhold share of the loot,
ETC.. at once puts the offender
against the code definitely be-
yond the pale.
Honor is. without doubt, an
inherent trait. In some it is
developed more than in others.
But children possess it and it
makes its appearance as an
integral part of 5heir character
makeup just as soon as the fac
ulty of reasoning begins to
function.
This sense of honor which
lies deep within all of us should
therefore be encouraged to dis
play itself as much as possible.
Childhood training should
stress its value. It has mighty
socializing possibilities, not to
mention the personal gratifica-
ton that every possessor Of
honor enjoys.

WASHINGTON FASHIONS
Fur-Trimmed Suits
Very Important
For Fall

IAC AAoC VA GAAC oNAO AAfAo SCCAA
so gradual and so slow that
many of us haven't realized
how definite it has been. Suits
have been things that you could
take or leave, as you wished.
There were plenty of good
coats and some women con.
sidered suit an extra cos
tune, a luxury. So they bought
a coat or so, some dresses to
wear with their coats, and
called it a wardrobe.
But now things are changed
to the extent that more and
more of us do not consider a
wardrobe complete without at
least one suit. A tweed for
street and sports wear, per-
hapS a tailored suit for rainy
days under a raincoat, and for
warm fall and spring days, AMI
perhaps formal wool suit too.
Tweeds for Service
So if you would be completely
in fashion this fall, plan your
budget so that it will include
at least one suit. A furred suit
is good choice if you can
have only one, and you will be
wise if you get a tweed or
rather rough woolen that is
street.-The, and not too definite
ly sports.
If you live in town en-
tirely, smooth fabric with
fox or smooth, short-haired
fur will do as well, but if you
want to combine country and
sports service with your street
needs, a rougher woolen is best.
Newest Coats Nipped
Suits may have coats of many
lengths, from hip length on
down.
The extremely short jackets
that have been a mark of
chic for several seasons, seem
to be giving way to longer
coats. Finger tip length IS
good, three quarters is excel
lent, and from then on down is
used. Even full length coats
are used with suits, and are
a practical idea, for of course
the coat will do as a separate
wrap too.
Coats may flare into the we'll
known swagger, or they may be
fairly well fitted. The latter are
very new looking, especially
when they're medium lengths,
but will not be seen as much as
the swaggers.
Brown With Lapin
We've photographed two
Supersmart suits, of the in
between type that is so useful.
On the left is the coat of me-
dium length, which may posi-
bly, do with wool dresses as a
separate coat. This suit is of a
monotone homespun tweed in
light neutral brown, with
matching lapin used for the be-
coming scarf and huge fur pock-
cts. 1t is only $3.50, a bargain
for such a suit. The stitched
crepe hat is $5.
The suit on the right has a
new short swagger coat, with
brown lapin collar, border and
pockets. The peaked shoulders
are smart, and the peaked hat
carries out the idea. This suit
is brown too, is priced $29.50
and the hat is $40.
For fashion information, or
name of the store showing these
suits, write Miss Laville encIOs-
ing self addressed, stamped en-
velOpe, or call District $3.50, ex-

Helpful Hints for
Housewives
Improved Pie Flavor

Improved Pie Flavor
Do not remove the jackets
from the apples when making
your next pie. This will i'm
prove the flavor greatly.
Drying Bottles
A few blasts of air from the
ordinary automobile pump will
dry the inside of bottles almost
instantly.
Mending Salt Shakers
Use adhesive tape on the bot
tom of the salt shaker instead
of a cork. It is easier to remove
and just as effective.
To Improve Veal Loaf
Use of rolled oats improves
veal loaf. It is also a good bet
for hamburg patties.

ishing cream. Remove in the
morning with an astringent, and
you will soon notice an improve

Recipes
Pineapple Ice

One of the favored and SIM
plest of the frozen ices is the
plain pineapple ice. I make this
by boiling together cup of
sugar and a half cup water un-
til sugar is dissolved-then
combining the syrup with one
cup shredded pineapple, "a cup
water and 2 tablespoonfuls
lemon juice. The flavor is i'm
proved, we have found, if the
syrup is poured over the pine
apple and allowed to stand for
about an hour before freezing.

large flow of buying power" he said.
There is no way to distribute purchaS-
ing-power either among workers or
stockholders until and unless the cor
poratiopg first get this purchasing
power by producing goods and selling
them. That is a seli-evident fact not
brought out in these hearings although
much of the discussion has revolved
around the question of getting more
purchasing power distributed among
the working people. The question OF
getting more hours of work is corol-
larry of the same thing. namely, volume.
IF employers and employees in con-
ference had rearranged wage rates in
each enterprise and industry according
to conditions and with reference TO
spreading the wage volume over all the
workers. there would now be fewer
people without any wages.
Just as the fixing of wage rates by
collective action helped to kill produc-
ton volume and wage volume. in like
,oenner there is danger that the fixing
OF the rate Of working hours may have
the effect of reducing the volume of
working hours available for distribution
by the closing Of some plants and the
curtallment Of operations in others"

TRUE INDEX OF TOWN!

Would you like to know
whether your home town, or
any other town, is likely to go
ahead in the next 10 years?
IF you ask that question Of
a thorough student Of busi-
ness, one Of the first things he
would do would be to secure
copies Of the newspapers
printed in the towns whose
future you were considering.
If the newspapers of such a
town did not show much adj
vertising, he would say there
was such a lack of business
enterprise that he would have
little faith in the advance of
that community. But if the

say those business concerns
