Boston errier
Is Popular
Breed
BY LIZ HUME

An amusing account of her
pets accomplishments has been
received by us from Mrs. Frances
M. Bragg, owner of "Dusky
Babe" a bulldog. She says:
''He is a beauty, is extremely
intelligent, and smokes a pipe
like a veteran"
Mrs. Bragg conducts a dog
lovers club at the Stuart Junior
High School.
Of the Boston terrier-much
has been said, but judging from
the popularity of this breed, too
much cannot be discussed.
American Origin
The Boston is one of the few
breeds that is distinctly Ameri-
can in origin. The name indi-
Gates their nativity-and all
that can be learned of their
ancestry points to their having
been of a pit bull terrier origin.
Pit bulls are usually the result
of a cross between bulldogs and
terriers-and vary in form.
Some have the long clean
head of a terrier; others, the
round-headed Short-faced br1ndIe
dogs that were a result OF
these crosses could not win
against the terrier types in their
own classes, and as they were
crowded out their admirers sue
ceeded in having classes organ
lied for them-and these classes
were eventually recognized by
the American Kennel Club.
Type Developed
In the early history Of the
breed there was no established
type some favoring the bull.
dogs, while others we're partial
to those that we're on the ter
rier order. AS late as 1894 the
Amrican Kennel Club cancelled
a Boston terrier pedigree be-
cause the sire was a bulldog.
The registrar of the Boston
Terrier Club, when called on for
an explanation, stated that it
was necessary to resort to a bull
dog cross to retain certain char
acteriSticS of the bulldog,
namely, the rose ears, flat skull,
and short, tapering tail-and
further asserted that the Boston
terrier at that time was becom-
ing too strongly terrier.

The colors are something Of
a new wrinkle, the vivid shades
that are worn for the cocktail
hour, emerald green, red, and
blue. The dress is form fitting,
and has that slick" look that
all girls love. It's young dress,

$685.. It's just right for bridge
or cocktails, and as it's street
length, can be worn under

Corner Cupboards
We've been trying to get some
nice pictures of corner cup
boards for some time, for there's
quite vogue for them right
now. OF course they've never
been "out," but it seems that
more people are securing the
country for old ones than ever
before, or are buying good re-
productions in the retail stores.
Most of them are of early
American origin, as is the cup
board in the picture on this
page. This is one of the fine
old pieces used in the setting
of the picture THE Pursuit of
Happiness" but it is also a type
that has been copied widely.
and you can find similar pieces
in all the local stores.
Light Maple
This cupboard is of light
maple, and is really lovely. No
tice the shape of the cornice.
1t is reminiscent of the way
Chippendale finished his vari-
GUS cupboards, and shows the
influence of England on Ameri-
can design.
The quaint candle stand is
worth studying too, and the
spinning wheel is an authentic
one, though fewer and fewer
people are giving house room
to spinning wheels, unless they
have a particularly good one,
and plenty of space to spare.

IN ew Wrinkle" is the
name of the clever dress
we re showing on this page
today. A n d in that mere
name is whole fashion story.
Nobody but Gladys Parker,
the youthful cartoonist-de-
signer, would ever think up
such a simple and descrip-
tive name, and apply it to a
dress. And few other peo-
pie can design a dress that
is as simple and chic.
New Wrinkle" applies in the
first place to the material, a
decidedly wrinkled silk crepe.

Peeling the Skin

Peeling the Skin
Dear Miss Shelby:
Do you recommend skin peel.
ing for the removal of freckles?
This has been suggested to me.
but I would like to have your
advice. Please help me. Sim
cerely, A. r.
Dear Miss A. F.:
I cannot recommend peeling
of the skin. There is a method
of peeling the skin by the appli-
cation of ordinary mercolized
wax. It takes off only the thin
film of surface cuticle, and this
comes off so gradually and
gently that no harm is done.
You should get enough Of
mercolized wax at any drug
store. Usually your skin is not
peeled before 10 days or two
weeks.
I think this is the safest
method can suggest to you.
If you want to know where
you can procure any article
mentioned in this column,
phone The Washington Times,
District 700, extension 283, be-
tween 9 a. m. and 5 p. M,
daily, and up to 1 p. m. on
Saturdays. Please do not write
unless you live outside of the

if it is evident that this impor-

Shall I phone, or must I write
an acceptance? At home we
would answer by a hand-written
note.
