works cuticle cream into the
base of the nails. Then the
hands are all ready to soak in
luke-warm soapy water.
AS you know, the action of
the warm soapy water tends to
soften the cuticles in order that
they may be pushed back more
readily. Well the action of the
cream on the cuticles plus the
water makes them more pliable
than ever-another good fea-
ture of the manicure I am raw
ing about.
Final Touches
Next the operator uses an
orange wood stick to push back
the cuticles. She applies buff
ing powder around the base Of
each nail to remove the loose
particles of cuticle and then
runs a pumice stone around the
side of each nail to smooth off
any rough edges and give that
clean appearance to the hands.
Then she dabs tiny pieces of
cotton in a rose oil and applies
the small pieces to each nail,
leaves the oil to soak in and
then you are all ready for your
favorite shade of polish. And,
incidentally, the operator
showed me the most alluring
new shade of polish with a
cream base which helps to
counteract the drying qualities
of all nail enamel.
Write in and I will tell you
where to go for this thorough
and highly beneficial treatment.
Owing to the fact that this
column has received such wide

Good Manicurist

By LIZ HUME

A fastidious woman expert
ences the irritation over a bad
manicure that the average man
displays over a bad haircut
and rightly so. A manicure
which leaves your \ cuticles
rough and sore and nails
splotchy with polish not only
does temporary harm to the
nailS-but it takes several sub
sequent manicureS to get them
in shape again.
A poor manicurist gougeS
the cuticles with a sharp in

them back from the nail. She
uses nail scissors with such fire.
quency that callouses are
formed at the sides Of each
nail. In fact, she does many
needless, outlandish things.
Spares Scissors
But there is no use to go
through this torture in an ef-
fort to attain perfectly groomed
hands. That is similar to a
woman I heard about in my
round Of the beauty shops who
failed to say anything when
one of the curriers' got too hot
during a permanent, because
she thought that it had to

might add, that the scissors

my hands during the entire
operation.

collar and cuff sets, in organdy,

frocks that have gone slightly
shabby.
When you see a perfectly
Knockout ensemble like black
crepe Shirtwaist blouse, black

Lines, all through the mode,
are especially flattering. This
is partially true because Of the
great variety. # you can't
wear swaggers, there are the
fitted coats and suits. And
vice versa.
Wide Range
If you don't like black, navy
is smart, and brown still ex-
cellent taste. If you don't
want a print, plain colors' are
just as good. So that within
the wide range, there are sure
to be fashions that are both
becoming and in favor.
Jackets Flatter
Dresses permit the same wide
choice that you find in coats.
There are surplice closings, al
ways the most flattering to fig
ures that have taken on a bit
of extra width about the waist
line.
There are jackets Of all sorts,
which break the lines, make
hips look smaller, and gen.
orally conceal anything that
is not the best. There are
small patterns in prints, which
are good for larger figures.
And there are good straight
lines, always slenderizing.
Now Well Cut
Best news of all to most
women is that manufacturers
have now worked things down
to the point that they can pro-
duce well-cut dresses for larger
women at prices that are not
high. Good fashion points are
in them too.
They are styled so that they
are youthful looking, in the
accepted colors and with clever
details, vet inexpensive, and
adapted to the larger figure.
We're showing some pictures
today from a collection Of
women's dresses in a down
town store, priced at $10.95.
This is within the range of
most women, and is about the
lowest price at which you can
get good cut and workmanship,
combined with good fabrics and
smart styles.
New Stitched Crepe
The group includes such ex-
cellent ideas as stitched crepes,
which are taking the place Of
prints to some extent this
spring. They are in navy or
black, with white stitching in
a design that looks like quilt
ing, and is most effective.
There are some nice patterns
in prints, there are striped
silks, and smart styles in plain
colorS.
We have too many pictures
to get them all on this page,
so be sure to watch for the
rest in the next few days. The
dresses come in sizes 80 to A.
It's really impossible to de-
scribe them all, and if you're
the size to be interested, you
should certainly go downtown
and see them.

American Lovers

Defense
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Famous Authority on Problems Of
Love and Marriage

Love and Marriage
Copyright, 1884. King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)
GAS a lover I think the
American man is all that could
be desired. Perhaps he's a little
shy on quoting poetry, going
down on his knees to declare
his love, or pointing out the
beauties Of the moon-but
when it comes to being respon-
sible and reliable, you know
where to find him. And he
doesn't demand a cash-down
payment with the bride, like
the perfect lover Of the old
countries"
That. is an extract from the
letter of a girl who is SUI
premely happy, and engaged to
the zone man in all the
world" And. needless to say,
he's an American.
Author Berates
Perhaps the girl wouldn't
have written her valiant de-
fense of her fellow countryman,
if Cousin Lucy hadn't sent her
a $1.50 ticket to hear a certain
English lady-author of a best
seller-berate the American
man as a lover.
The lady lecturer, though
married to an Englishman and
not long enough in this coun-
try to be we'll acquainted with
the love life of the natives,
insists that our men lack
charm, and are too shy and
self-conscious to WOO a girl
with the poetry for which her
heart Graves.
In short, thinks our British
cousin cat $3.50 per heaO,
Uncle Sans young sons are
too concerned with the pur-
suit of the dollar to make love
ccording to transatlantic
specifications.
well, if we're all so crazy
about dollars, why did we pour
so many of them into Europe
during the World War? And
if they're so Indifferent to
money over there, why don't
they pay back what they bor-
rowed-a thing which no coun-
try except little Finland has
done? "Why?" asks the girl,
who squirmed through the lee
ture, and kept thinking of all
the things for her new kitchen
that $3.50 spent on the ticket
would have bought.
How 1t Started
Perhaps someone, making a
first trip to the continent back
in the buStle-and-hoop-skirt age,
might have seen a young man
slip a note to a girl as she left
a cathedral with her duenna.
Or again, the eager tourist may
have been struck with the ro-
nance of a young man twanging
a guitar under a latticed win
dow, and decided that was a
better way than taking her
buggy-riding in the United
States.
But, good gracious! They
didn't make love with guitars
and with slipped notes in merry
England, that the lady lecturer
should pick on our young men
and their love-making.
At least the American men
have done enough Of it to keep
the vital statistics from falling,
which is more than can be said
Of some of the countries which
grow these perfect lovers"
At least, girls who write to
this column seem amply satisfied
with love as it Is made In these
United States.

many interesting things about
cooking, in which he seems to
be expert.
While we were absorbing those
oysters Cd we started discussing
the different methods OF prepar-
ing them.
Mrs. Campbell Pritchett Joined
In the conversation, and finally
we decided we liked them done
in any manner, but didn't care
for them quite so much fried,
as most fried oysters seemed so
tired and listlesS after the
blanket of thick batter had been
pried off.
Delicious
Mr.. WilStach said that he
knew one way to do fried oysters
that did away with that trouble,
and made them really the most
delicious oyster-dish in the
world. That was news, so I
clamored for details, and this is
what I was told:
Take the oysters directly from
their own liquor, roll them light
Iy in corn meal, and drop into
hot fat for just long enough to
turn it a golden brown. Re
move, and eat Immediately.
Apparently. from what hear,
the Metropolitan Club does its
fried oysters this way, too, which
explains why there is so much
complaining about oysters
cooked at home!
A Ham Hint
And here is another ham
hint" Il am rapidly turning
into an excellent ballyhooer for
the pork-packing industryD
After boiling ham, remove
bone very carefully (you must
get the right quarter to be able
to do this), and stuff the cavity
with dark brown sugar and
chopped black walnuts, moist
tened just enough to hold to-
gether. Pack this in as tightly
as possible. Then skin ham,
cover with sugar and cloves, and
bake, basting occasionally with
the sugar and fat drippings to
make the proper glaze.

NNAPOLIs, Md, November /.

A NNAPOLIS, Md, November I.
~ With the steady develop
~ ment of Dick Pratt and
Tommy King, Navy's back
field of this season, completed by
Buzz Berries and Bill Clark, is con-
sidered the strongest the academy
ever has had, with the possible excep-
tion of the combination Of 1917 and
1918, made up of Bill Ingram, Wei
chel, Roberts and Butler
In versatility and all-around bril-
lance not even that fine quartet can
equal the present backheld, every
member of which can carry the ball,
pass and grab passes, as well as per-
form acceptably in some phase of the
kicking art.
None of the great Navy backs Of
the past-Douglas, Dalton, Bill
Ingram and Roberts-have had the
same knack of eluding opposing
tacklers as possessed by Berries, nor
with any of them was the passing
game developed to the point in which
the Navy backs are now adept.
In stiff offensive practice yester-
day in preparation for the game with
Washington and Lee the backfield
was clicking merrily, with Dick Pratt,
the District boy, showing more stuff
than any of the others in carving
the ball on running plays and after
receiving passes. King, who is from
Annapolis, is proving very deceptive
with his left-handed passing.
OF the reserve backs, Ned Thomas,
half, and Joe Evans, fullback, did
such good work that they are looked
upon as probable successors Of Berries
and Clark, both Of whom graduate in
June.

- Placed in the ''underdog" role
for the next three games on
its schedule, the University of
Richmond foot ball team will rely on
its speed rather than weight in the
coming encounter with the unscored
on and undefeated Hoyas of George
town University here Saturday.
With the double -wing-back system
as its basic attack Coach Thistle
thwaite's Spiders are expected to re-
sort to tricky reverses and pass plays
to offset the defensive abilities Of the
Hoyas.
Roger Leverton, Washington boy,
who never played foot ball while in
high school, probably will be the
spearhead of the Spider attack Not
only is he the shiftiest member of the
backfield, but undoubtedly is one of
the finest pass receivers ever devel-
oped in the Old Dominion.
John Diedrich, first string guard
who has been out since the Cornell
game with knee injury, more than
likely will be available for the game
Saturday.
Since no injuries we're received in
the last game with Hampden-Sydney,
Coach Thistlethwait will be able to
throw his full strength against the

During the first two weeks of last
November we landed a lot of good
size sea trout off Solomons Island
These fish are the last to leave our
waters, and as they fall downstream
in the PatuXent, Solomons Island is
one of the best places to catch them.
Rockfsh or striped bass will be
caught in the lower Potomac and at
various fishing grounds in Chesapeake
Bay during November and December.
Last year these fish were caught until
ice formed.
