Secret Diplomacy

In the midst of the furore
at the Capitol the other day
when Congress convened and
prepared for a joint session
of the House and Senate many
of the visitors took the op-
portunity to adjourn to the res
taurant for lunch.
The cafe was crowded and q
large portion of the crowd was
forced to stand to await tables.
Among the group were Italian
Ambassador Augusta Rosso and
Rumanian Minister Charles A.
Davila.
It appeared as if they were
waiting for a table until two
walters appeared carrying little
bags that apparently contained
sandwiches.
And the ENJOYS hurried Oft
to a quiet corner for lunch.

Whatever he may be when he
grows up depends almost en-
tirely upon the manner in
which he is reared, or his early
education in the hands of a
new master.
His very keen intelligence, to-
gether with his absolute faith
in his trainer, makes him es-
pecially worth developing inso-
far as one derives keen salts
faction from the results.
GrasEs Ideas
In fact, very little training
in any particular line is &C.
tually required. He seems to
grasp the idea of what is de-
sired of him very quickly and
he is always willing to do as
he is told, so that one is often
surprised at the rapid advance
ment which he makes.
He can be one of the most
ferocious of beasts because of
his great size and strength.
For a general companion,
watchdog, personal or property
guardian, one cannot select a
better breed of animal, pro-
Vided there is room for him.
His strong affection and un-
failing devotion are unsur-
passed, and his noble, almost
human, characteristics are Sec
ond to none in canine circles.
While not of a fighting dispo-
sition, he will in no way tolerate
insults from other dogs. And
woe to the dog which attacks
him. Yet, like so many forbear-
ing people disposed to ignore an
insulting, undersized human,
this dog usually ignores a much
small dog, even to the extent of
suffering considerable imposi-
ton.
Graceful
Whenever two Danes come to-
gether in battle there is almost
invariably one ending-death to
one or the other, sometimes
both.
Compared to most of the
other large breeds with the ex-
ception of the deerhound, per
haps, the Great Dane IS more
1.-the, graceful, and alert.
Quite contrary to his name
this dog is not Danish, but in
his present type is a purely Ger
man-developed breed. In his
own land he is known as the

anything as drastic as bleach

too strong for your type OF Skin.
The best thing to do is to give
it the best of protective care.
Use plenty of lubricating cream,
both cleansing and nouriShing.
Avoid strong soaps, hot water
Use tepid water and a mild
soap and rinse in warm, then
quite cool water, but never Use
ice on your skin.
In fact, l would confine soap
and water cleansing to two or
three times weekly. You can
keep your skin quite as clean
with a good cleansing cream
some women with sensitive
skins never use soap and water.
Avoid also strong aStringents,
circulation creams and skin
stimulants. Some skins need
them, but they are not for you.

DELICIOUS RICE FISH AND VEGETABLE DISHES CONE FROM PHI

Goes With "Bg Shot" On With the old

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Sometimes, when I call un-
expectedly, I find that my girl
has gone out with a "big shot,"
and then they do not get home
until early in the morning.
After one of these times she
always seems discontented with
me, and starts fussing. l try
to please her in every way I
know how, and tell her how
much I love her, but she hasn't
the patience to listen.
FAITHFUL JOHNNY"
What you tell me about your
girl going out with big
shot" and being irritable with
you next time you see her
doesn't sound very promising
to me, and I hope you're not
going to make yourself un-
happy by taking this young
lady too seriously. Lots of nice
girls in the world would give a
great deal for little attention.
Has Little Faith
Dear Miss Fairfax:
The other evening went to
a dance given by my boy
friends lodge. There were
four of us in the party, two
men and two girls. Now the
dance is over and the war is
on. 1t was my first real
dance, and I enjoyed it I'M
mensely. III health has kept
me from going to dances till
just now.
The other girl, who helped
to make up our fourSome,
has been telling something
derogatory about me to my
young man. He won't come
out in the open and say what
it is, but just hedges. He
says he doesn't want to hurt
me by repeating this thing.
AS if his silence and mystery
doesn't hurt much more!
I've no idea what it's all
about, and am beginning to
feel that I don't care very
much. CONSTANT READER.
When a young man acts that
way, he seems no great loss to
me, even if the friendship is
broken. He listens to tales
about you, and will not be
specific as to these charges,
saying he doesn't want to hurt
your feelings.
That sort of man seems a
pretty poor stock to me, and

your rights, in insisting on be-
ing told what this other girl
has said.
