Now all that glamor has re-
turned, and with it, cotton eve

ever, that we have gone our

gowns are so much more varied,
original and, to me, much love.
lier. We have myriads of mate
rails to choose from, and not
only mothers gown for inspira-
ton. but many other types are
smart, too.
Crinkles Smart
It's weave, color and design
that count this year. Weaves
are so very varied, with every
thing from plain organizes
through the lawn weight seer
suckers, and seersucker organ
dies, right on through the
printed piques and plaid ging'
hams all being used.
Shirred sleeves and ruching
effects make the gowns femi-
nine, no matter how tailored
the material. Covered shoulders
continue. though they are a lit
tie different from those of last
year. Ruffled capes are often
seen, and have decidedly new
look.
Deep COlOrs New
Colors are lovely, and almost
everything is smart, though deep
tones seem to have a great ap-
peal right now. but then so do
pastels, white and combinations
of color that are rather unusual.
Almost all our points are well
illustrated in the dress photo
graph today. It's of seersucker
organdie, which has delightful
crinkly surface, as you probably
know, and is cool, sheer and
comfortable. without the prob
lem of crushing which you al
ways have to some extent IN
plain organdie.
The colors are red. navy or
brown with white checks, which
reminds us of how smart those
deep colors are. The dress is
but $10.95, which means that it
can give you summer Smartness
at a very low price. 1t comes in
sizes IA to Is in a downtown
store.

Lines Under Eyes

Dear Miss Shelby:
Are there any guaranteed
cures for lines under the eyes?

that will eradicate them COM

Dear Miss B. v. j.:
No, I hardly believe anyone
will guarantee" to remove
lines from beneath the eyes.
After all, it is a case of indi-
vidual care, and patient, per-
siStent treatment. Causes for
this condition vary. Often it
is due to lack Of rest and
sleep. Quite often it is caused
by eye strain, poor circulation
and lack of external care.
Eight hours of sleep are nee
essary, if you want bright
sparkling eyes. Exercise in the
open air is important. The
eyes should be bathed night
and morning with a salt and
water solution. boracic acid So

think you will find 1t proves
applicable in many cases.
Wines of lesser years mature
faster, and must be drunk
soon, as they will not last; the
wines of great years mature
very slowly, and are often
rather green for as long as IS
years. Many of the fine Bor-
deaux of great year remain
very hard for a long period,
and only attain perfection
when nearly 80 years old.
In buying wine, never forget
the main rule-"Only a good
name together with a good
year will produce satisfaction
in wines" And, sometimes,
even when the name and the
year are perfect, one may still
be disappointed. due to bad
corkage, poor storage, bad han
dling-and poor combination
OF wine and food in your own
home!
Careful Testing
Therefore, slow and careful
testing, adopting and discard
ing, and working with only
small quantities at a time, is
of paramount Importance in
acquiring the really excellent
wines.
From the Bordeaux region
come the Clarets, Sauternes
and Graves.
Red Bordeaux (the Clarets),
should be served at room tenn
perature, the White Graves and
lighter Sauternes should be
cooled slightly. and a heavy
Sauterne should be iced, but
not below freezing point.

Gives Advice
To LoveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Washington Times

"sSSAAA3A@ S~AA - AAAA~S
Dear Miss Fairfax:
He called on me almost every
evening. Without warning, he
stopped coming, only very SOL
dom, making excuses and going
out with other girls. But
never went out with other boys.
I want to hold his love be-
cause l love him. And so l sit
home every evening, refusing to
let other boys concentrating,
hoping. What can 1 do to get
him back? l am 16.
UNDECIDED.
I do not at all question your
sincerity, but I'm going to ask
you to snap out of this affair.
The boy has very definitely
proved himself to be unworthy
of the kind of attachment that
you have given him. And per.
haps that is better for you both,
as you are so young. He saw
that you were getting serious,
he did not want to be serious,
and so he quit, calling irregu-
larly, giving excuses.
Instead of moping at home,
see plenty of young people
girls and boys. 1t is a great
mistake for a girl not to Guilt
vate the friendship of other
girls. You are still of an age
when young people can very
profitably take on all kinds Of
cultivation.
If you haven't the chance
during the day, why not attend
night classes? Build yourself
up. You have at your disposal
a priceless thing-youth and
Imagination. Learn to get some
real results out of books.
No Wonder She Changed
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Five years ago, I fell in love
with this girl. We kept steady
company, so I gathered that she
loved me. About a year and a
half ago. we fell out, over a
mere trifle.
Her attitude changed alto
gether. She seemed cool. feel
she is more to blame than I.
We meet and talk. Should
make the first move, or wait for
her to make the first advance?
S.
My dear boy, it seems to me
that if you've been going with
this girl for five years. in love
with her all this time, and keep
ing steady" company. you had
a right to gather that she was
not only in love with you. but
very much so. Think of it, all
these days and years she is ex-
pecting you to say something
about getting married or being
engaged.
You say nothing about these
things. She had a perfect right
to change he-.' attitude toward
you. I think she was very con-
sentative in being merely cool.
If you're still in love with this
girl, why don't you tell her so
plainly, and if you want to
marry her, tell her that. In ad-
dition there could be no objec-
ton to your confessing that you
have wasted a lot Of valuable
time. Don't you agree with me?
Anyway, I wish you luck.

hand out a few presents to the
boys.
First, Johnston is offering Art
LaSky chance to make a few
cocanuts by battling a few heats
with James J. Braddock next
month. This may be a Xmas
present with reverse English for
Art. It surely will be if he let's
James j. tag him, for if there's
one thing James j. can do it's
punch.

If Art doesn't want that bout
dropped in his lap, Johnston is
going to let Braddock take a
wallop at Ray Impellittiere, who
is bigger than Camera and twice
as hungry.
