Handy Sets Are
Valuable
Aids
BY JULIET SHELBY

There is nothing more con-
venient to aid this business Ct
grooming than to have your
manicuring aids all together in
a smart case.
Then it is such simple mat
ter to devote a few minutes each
day TO touching up your nails
and keeping them looking their
loveliest.
If you are a roamer, it will
take no thought to tuck such
a set into your bag and go
your wandering way.
Two grand sets, which are
especially good gift items, have
just made their debut-whether
the gift is to yourself or for
another!
The leather set has the same
degree of luxury you find in
tailored handbags and fine
luggage. It is made Of real
leather in three smart shades
midnight blue, green and
The Washington times., 1934-10-26

gray-and it's contents are ade-
quate for even the most
thorough manicure.
The other set, which is
cheaper, is as practical and
compact as a smart vanity
case.
In fact, it flaunts, in smaller
quantities, every aid the more
expensive set does. Namely:
Liquid nail polish, oil-baSe polish
remover, nail tip whitener
pencil, a fine steel file, emery
boards, real orangewood stick
and cotton.
If you have never been in
the habit of manicuring your
own nails, you might buy either
of these sets and begin to save
money.

A popcorn set, of aluminium,
complete in every detail, from
pepper to bowl and salt shaker,
proved to me that the idea that
I introduced last February, of
serving hot, buttered popcorn
at cocktail parties, was a really
very good one.
A crystal clock, with black
crystal center, silver numerals,
and red hands, mounted on a
chromium bar base, had me in
a dither, until I saw another
one, of midnight blue glass,
with chromium knobs for nu-
merals and silver hands, that

gone to Hollywood, will create
the costumes for the picture.
Slip Cover Styles
Many of us are pretty desper;
ate just about now, over chairs
and sofas that we thought were
going to look all right this fall.
But with the hanging of fresh
curtains and perhaps new drap-
cries, with rugs coming out of
storage or moth balls and going
down on floo5s again, worn up
holstery or soiled materials look
pretty terrible.
For those of us who can't az
ford new upholstery, slip covers
are the obvious answer. They
are less expensive, easier to keep
clean, and have been improved
so much in two or three years
that they are in a separate class
4EOM G11e OAQ types.
New improvements
Zippers are one of the improve
ments, tipping right up the back
seams so that your cover can fit
tight as upholstery, and still
come off easily. They hold the
pillow covers on too, and aren't
always popping open as the old
snaps did. AS to fashion points,
slip covers are palmer this fall
than they've been before. No
fluffy ruffles are permissible.
and even the box pleated
flounce is discarded by many of
the smartest decorators. Fringe
is often used in it's place, but if
the chair or sofa has pretty legs,
they are allowed to show.

RE PROMINENT MEMBERS OF WASHINGTON SOCIETY FOR WINTER
Pedigreed Pets
Are Usually
Preferred
BY LIZ HUME

One Of the questions we
are often asked is:
Isn't a mongrel just as
good, if not better, than a
pure-bred as pet dog?"
Personally we. prefer the dog
with a pedigree but we have
known and know a number Of
utterly fascinating dogs of no
particular ancestry. Or an an
cestry so mixed that it would
be impossible to classify them
as of any particular breed.
But in the long run it is al
ways safest, we think, to get
a dog with papers" as they
say.
After all, you are going to
love your dog no matter what
the breed or breeds. And since
you love it you will be convinced
it is the brightest and most at
tractive of dogs.
1t is just as we'll to do your
boasting with a little back
ground. You don't want TO be
suspicious that your friends are
laughing at you up their
sleeves.
owners of mongrels, we have
noted, are given to being sensi-
tive about their pets. They
get complexes and are willing
to almost fight if they suspect
you don't see exactly eye to
eye with them.
So it will save a lot of strain
on your nerves if you have a
dog about which you are sure.
Not necessarily a champion or
even a ar-champion but one
of which you can say off hand:
"YOu know his grandfather
won ribbon at Such-and-Such
a show"

and conjuring up vision of a
perfect dining table.
Decanters and Tantalus sets,
liqueur bottles and glasses, every
thing that the most fastidious
hostess could possibly wish for,
may be found within the white
simplicity of this shops mod
erniStic walls.
Growing Joy
The crowning joy was an
enormous round aluminium plat
ter, grooved in rings, for varied
canapes at a big cocktail party.
The canapes, when placed in
the rings, present a truly lovely
rosette to admiring guests, and
the size of the platter saves
many trips around a crowded
room for the busy and efficient
hostess.
The many lovely things pre-
sented in this shop are well
worthy of your attention, and,
if you are interested in new and
unusual accessories, and Will
write to me, I will gladly give
you the name of the place where
they may be found.

actually created the costumes,
which are all new, and really
prophetic, as far as winter
fashions go. I believe this
Washington engagement is the
reopening of the show, which
ran all last year in New York:
But the costumes are new, and
the fashion part of it has
been brought up to date, so
that it is really worth seeing,
if you're interested in clothes
at all.
Gowns Are Varied
Some of the costumes are
STACY" and not particularly
adaptable to the needs of ordi-
nary people, but many OF them
are practical as we'll as beauti-
full. This seasons idea OF
elegance is paramount, and I
know of no better place to see
it at it's best. Kiviette Is
well known as a designer,
and ranks with those in Paris
whose business is held up to
light in the plot.
The costumes are too many
and too varied to be described,
but one bright spot 1 know
about is the moment when
the "Star customer" tears one

against it's hobble skirt.

Mutual InfatuatiOn


Dear Miss Fairfax:
Never in your column have I
come across a case like mine.
After ten years of married life,
in which I was very happy, my
wife and I had a quarrel.
There's a young lady with
whom I find myself infatuated,
and she seems to be equally in.
fatuated with me. We want to
be together all the time.
I have decided that I was
too young when I married my
wife, and should like to be free
to make a more congenial mar
riaee.
JUST-A-HUSBAND
Married men frequently dis.
cover themselves infatuated, and
the infatuation returned, and
come to some such decision as
yours, that they married too
young.
But I'd really like to hear your
wife's side of the question be-
fore giving an opinion. Didn't
she know something Of this
mutual infatuation before she
went back to her parents home.
And what are your grounds
for divorce, my dear man?
Mutual infatuation does not go
in the courts.

Autographed Photos

photograph I am going to give

Why not autograph the
photograph simply "to John,
from Dorothy" and then he
can read into the handwriting
and the Dorothy whatever he
wishes to at the moment?
Unautographed photographs are
considered by many people dn'

The Green.Eyed Monster Broke
Their Engagement
Dear Miss Fairfax:
My fiance was so jealous of
another man, for whom I didn't
care snap, that we finally
broke our engagement, but still
remain friends. Lately he has
been calling to see me every
evening.
What puzzles me is when we
were engaged he never even
looked at another girl, but now
when we go out he makes some
remark about every girl he sees
wants to know who she is,
and then some flattering COM
ment on her appearance.
Is he just trying to make me
jealous, do you think? I'd really
like to become engaged to him
again, in spite of his jealousy.
HOPEFUL.
He may be trying to make
you jealous, or his interest in
girls may have broadened since
you turned him down. At the
same time, I can't imagine why
he comes to seen you every even.
ing, If he's not still in love with
you.
If you do become engaged,
consider well the discomforts Of
living with a jealous man, be.
fore you walk up the aisle with
him.

Separate Gifts

Dear Mrs. BeecKrnan:
I am a young widow and I
have been going about with a
man nine years my senior for
over a year. We have been
invited to several parties and
weddings. Is it his place, or
mine, to buy the present, and
if it is mine, should I write
Mary Jones and John Brown"
or should I just put my name
and let him buy his own gift?
Or should we buy a joint gift?
DOUBTFUL.
It would be best form for
you to buy your own gift and
with it enclose your card, and
for him to do the same.

and his mothers invitation to
spend a few days with them in
their city. Now that I have re-
turned, I wish to write his
mother, thanking her for the
pleasant time I had. How
should this letter be Worded?
B.
First thank your hostess for
her kind invitation, her thought
fulness, her gracious hospi.
tality, and for the happy time
that you had when you were
visiting in her home. Then
thank her for plans that she
made for your entertainment, a
dinner, a luncheon, a tea, or
something of this special kind.
Tell her how much you enjoyed
knowing her family, her friends.

AIOW and then some man,
IN startled by a sense of what
is going on, sends in a blast about
the dangers of matriarchy. From
all he says, 1 gather he regards
further feminine progress as de-
plorable and no doubt he has
many sympathizers.
But why not soothe our sus-
PIGEONS by looking fearsome facts
in the face? Might it not be pos
sible that a matriarchy would
prove a happy solution of some of
our problems?
The term, defined literally, sig
nifes rule by the mother" 1t
need not mean, nor did it ever
mean, the dominion of one sex
over the other. Certainly in those
primitive states where matriarchy
was the rule, men were not sup
pressed interiors, but both sexes
enjoyed an enviable equality.
Property and names handed
down through the maternal line
would not be conducive to revolu-
ton, but might instead be thor
oughfy con patible with common
sense. AS conditions now exist,
there are a good many fathers
who are not quite sure they have
sired their heirs, as certain ia
NOUS court cases testify.
This state Of mind would not
be possible in any system where
matriarchy was the accepted rule.
Mothers can not evade response
bility for the physical fact Of
their children's existence. And so
far as names are concerned
what difference would it make in
the long run whether they were
taken from the paternal or the
maternal side of the house? Gus
tom only has been dictator about
that.
We are told repeatedly that
women now own more than half
the wealth of the country; that
they represent the major buying
power of the nation; that life in
Surance and legacies come even
tually and inevitably into their
hands. Why not, then, avoid the
confusion and effort by giving
them this power in the first place?
1t is a well-known fact, too, that
many men evade their creditors
by the simple expedient of deed
ing their property to their wives,
