7 raining of Dog
important
BY LIZ HUME

Every person has his own
ideas of how a dog should obey
his master, regard strangers
and carry himself in general.
Likewise, every dog has his own
ideas of how he should conduct
himself toward his master and
toward others and how he
should do this and that
particular thing as various
conditions present themselves
to him.
When he is left unhindered
the dogs set of regulations
gradually develops into a
permanent law and when this is
established a dog will never
swerve from it. He will carry
it out to the very letter.
But practically every dog, ac-
cording to his nature, is ever
subject to the will of the man
he recognizes as his maSter-his
god. Whatever is the will of his
master is his supreme law and
he accepts it without question
or murmur, regardless of how
agreeable or disagreeable it
may be to him.
Whatever a dogs behavior
may be depends entirely upon
his owner or trainer. In other
words upon the manner this per-
son trains him or does not train
him. It is a matter of one or
two things: He either adopts
his masters laws as laid down
to him, or, lacking these, he for
mulates his own laws.
Therefore it rests altogether
upon the owner as to which of
the two paths dog may take.
The dog is only too willing to
accept tie one, but for want of
this accepts the other.
If the master of the dog de-
sires his dog to obey him and to
conduct himself in accordance
with his own personal ideas, he
must take upon himself the re-
sponsibility of this training.

Wedding and Shower Gifts
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
A friend whom I have known
for a number of years is to be
married in about two weeks. I
am uncertain as to whether a
gift is expected of me at the
wedding reception and also at
the shower for the bride. I
thought I would give my gift
at the shower, as I am rather
financially embarrassed, and
feel that two gifts would be
quite an expense to me. Is this
correct? H.
I don't believe that you will
solve your problem by giving
your wedding gift at the shower,
for, since only shower gifts
should be given at shower, the
bride-to-be might, and probably
would, misunderstood and re-
gard your wedding gift as a
shower gift.
So. since you must budget
carefully, I suggest that you
give some trifle at the shower,
and send your wedding gift
later. Or, if this isn't what
you'd like to do, omit the
shower gift, or don't go to the
shower. The wedding gift is
the important gift, and its i'm
portance shouldn't be lessened
by giving it at an inappropriate
time,

participants in a gala charity re-
vue, and every one attending
the ball admired the girls
beauty. I learned that both a
finishing cream for the face and
a liquid powder for the neck,
matching in shade, had been
used as a makeup foundation.
And what a perfectly grand way
to acquire a uniform skin tone
on throat and face!
The finishing cream comes in
two sizes and is a protective
preparation that provides a
smooth mat for exquisite make
up. And the delicately per-
fumed liquid powder matches
the shades of the cream. There
are five natural skin shades,
and I am sure one of them will
suit you. With these aids, the
freshness of your makeup will
last indefinitely, and your neck
will look as if it belonged to
the face above it!

The only touches of jewels
worn by Mrs. Vanderbilt were
rings, a magnificent diamond
and a square cut emerald.
1t has been said that the
split skirt is a forerunner of the
short skirt-and since Mrs. Van
derbilt is one of the SmarteSt
expOnents of fashion, we be-
lieve that the short skirt is des-
tined to appear, and not in the
too distant future.
Mrs. Vanderbilt's skirt ended
half way between her knee and
her ankle. We noticed her
hands-to see whether or not
she had changed her polish to a
pale shade tthe NAH enamelS
are supposed to be paling, &C
cording to latest notes., but
Mrs. Vanderbilt still wears the
most vivid red polish.
We nert turn to her sister,
Mrs. Benjamin Thaw-here UiS-
iting Mrs. Eldridge Jordan.
For street Uear she has a
trock of black 1Uoolen material
-Uhich has as its only TRIM
nina nickel buttons. With this
she wears Stitt-brimmed sailor
hut-in felt, We think-1Dhtch
has q short nose Ueh. Her
skirts were Hke1DiSe Shorthand
she has just returned from Eu-
rope, and EnoWS What'S coming.
Mrs. Vanderbilt is not a
beauty and yet she is a stun
ming woman. Her skin-eyes
figure and carriage are fine.
She wears her clothes with
great distinction and chic and
therefore creates the illusion OF
beauty. She doesn't need to
be pretty Her voice is not
the least of her charms. It
has an elusive allure with
lights and shade es-and a
throaty quality which it would
behoove many women to affect.
X X
Mrs. Thaw, on the other
hand, is not at all good looking
but also possesses great chic.

man offered his 'congratula-

the only courteous reply I could
have made. It was necessary to
thank him, was it not, even for
his incorrect congratulations?
M.
Even though the guest incor.
rectly offered you, the bride, his
congratulations, you were
thoroughly correct in saying
Thank you" to him, thus not
calling attention to his social

Advice to the

BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Better Get New Dress


Dear Miss Fairfax:
The first time I was married,
I had lovely white satin
gown, and the elegant bridal
appointments that 60 with it.
That marriage turned out badly
and three years later 1 got a
divorce.
I am going to be married
again in about six weeks. One
of the most becoming dresses
I ever had was an egg7shell
summer crepe. I am thinking
of having it dyed wine color
and wearing it as a wedding
dress.
My friends tell me this would
be terribly bad luck. Do you
think SO? WORRIED.
If you're going to have the
dyed dress on your mind and
imagine every time you have a
little Spat with your second
husband that it was due to the
egg-shell turning wine color
that would indeed be bad luck.
Imagination creates most of
our i'll luck, don't you think
so? And to add to it by a
dyed wedding gown would be
too bad.
AS long as you're putting it
up to me, I believe I'd get
something new.

She Loses Him

Dear Miss Fairfax:
The other night I saw the
boy friend with whom I had
been going steady" for three
years, and he told me that he
had been going on a date with
another girl, and that he liked
her.
He said he didn't care to go
STEADY" with me any more,
because he didn't think it was
fair to me, but said he hoped
we'd always be good friends,
and go out together once in a
while.
Please tell me if should
still see him, and if you know
any way of winning him back,
for I am very fond of him.
F..
When a young man tells a
girl that he doesn't want to
go steady" because it isn't
fair to her, there isn't any
thing for her to do but to &C.
cept it as gracefully as she can.
Hold your chin high, and don't
show that it hurts your feel
ingS.
That's a good deal surer way
of getting him back than if
you went around moping and
desolate. 1t is likely you may
have lost this young man in
the first place by showing how
much you cared.

Warning that the licenses Of ap-
proximately $4,000 registered con-
tractors throughout California'would

Under state law, all contractors

newal fee is IS if the renewal ap-
plication is filed before June 80
A delinquent fee of $5, making a
total license fee of $40, is required
on all licenses issued after June 80.
1t is illegal for a contractor to OPP

The contractors registration act
was enacted by the legislature up

PLAN DRIVE ON
LEGISLATION
To AID LABOR
By H. O. THOMPSON

WASHINGTON, June 15.-An eff
fort to drive through some form of
labor legislation, aimed primarily at
the threatened steel strike, was be-
gun today after President Roose-
velt stepped into the picture.
Returning to the senate from a
White House conference with Mr.
Roosevelt and his labor advisors,
Majority Leader Joseph T. Robin
son began a series of conferences
for speedy enactment of legislation.
It was indicated he was under di-
rect White House pressure, with the
President insisting on some form OF
legislation before congress adjourns.
Robinson had said earlier that con-
gress would wind up tomorrow
night.
Back in the senate he admitted
there was slight possibility" of ad-
journment.
He and Mr.. Roosevelt went over
substitute legislation for the Wag-
ner labor disputes bill which the
White House prepared "Wednesday
It was understood that Mr.. Roose-
yelt objected to some of the sug-
gestions made by Republican sena-
tors when asked to review the pro-
posed legislation and that Robinson
would attempt to weld the divergent
points of view.
