Beach Baskine
Exacts Its
Penalty
BY LISA DUMONT

More about what to do for
your skin If you are going
South.
Yesterday we gave a few
pointers on the care Of the skin
if getting a coat of tan is your
bent. For the burning question
is one of great Importance.
Here are few more facts in
connection with beauty and
your Southern vacation.
It is automatic to say that
makeup on the beach should be
inconSpicuouS.
Protective
Probably nothing is better
than those excellent protective
lotions that serve as powder
base and even give a powdered
finish to your face, if you don't
want to add any more.
Liquid rouge will stay on your
face forever and on your lips
too.
Whatever else you do, if you
tan, you have to change your
powder to keep up with it. You
will have to go in for the ochre
shade.
Your eyes need a bit Of con-
Sideration as you acquire your
tan, for a sunburned skin has
q devastating way Of draining
the color from them and max
ing them look smaller. Clever
eye makeup can do wonders in
counteracting this, especially at
night.
For the Eyes
Also, you are giving your eyes
a lot of hard usage during the
sojourns on the beach, though
you may not be conscious OF
this.
Battle them three or four
times a day with a good eye
wash. If they are swollen and
red, pads of cotton wrung out
in soothing eye bath Of witch
hazel will bring them back to
normal.
Chief among sufferers will
be the hair upon your head.
Mention has been made before
of the use of good brilliantine.
The basis of these is mineral
oil, and, when you put a coating
over your hair, you do a good
deal towards making it water
proof beneath your cap, and
you are giving back some Of the
oils the sun is drying out.
Surplus Hair
Also, it is an excellent idea
to have oil treatments with your
Shampoos during your Southern
Sojourn.
Another important detail. AS

When Manners
Are Correct
Grooms and Showers

NAVO4AAO eSAASA 0AAO"~AS
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
A shower is going to be
given in honor of a bride-to-
be. Is it proper for the groom
to-be to be present at the
shower?
Is it proper for the sister
of the groom to have a shower
for the bride-to-be? M.
/. If the party is a mixed
party, women and men, the
groom-to-be is invited. But if
the shower is for girl and
women friends of the bride-to-
be, the groom-to-be is not pres
ent.
2. Although there are no
definite rules about the giving
Of showers, who gives them and
so forth, there is a very def
mite feeling that showers given
by close relatives of the bride
to-be or of the groom-to-be
Smacks too much of a too
definitely planned promotion"
This seems too true nowadays,
when budgets are not so ample
as in days of yore, and when
they are sadly strained by
the giving Of so many show
ers, so many pre-wedding occa-
SionS that demand or seem to
demand gifts, and all leading
up to the important wedding
gift. Balancing this budget
takes lots of brain truSt!"

Just where did these fail?
Gets Notice
It may be that the child has
discovered that being good isn't
particularly noticed. And atten-
ton is, of course, what he wants.
He has learned that the days
in which his conduct has been
without blemiSh, or nearly so,
he has been passed by with no
word of praise.
He has found it is his "bad
days" that win him the center
of the stage.
Just as it was in the parable
Of the Prodigal Son and the
fatted calf so it is that the
problem child" receives the
major share of his parents at
tention. It is not, perhaps, just
the type Of attention that he
Graves but it Is nevertheless at
tention.
This explains, nine times out
Of ten, the troublesome child.
Keen Eyes
If, after reviewing your pre-
vious contact with your child,
you decide that you have been
overlooking the little matter of
praise and attention for his
good days don't swerve too
suddenly in the opposite direc-
ton. It would be a very stupid
little boy or girl who wouldn't
notice and understand.
Begin with a casual, oh, so
very casual, word Of praise. And
be even more casual (dont no
tice it if poSsible) about his
naughtinesS.
Praise works wonders with O
child. He is greedy for the ap-
proval Of the gods Of his little
world. And parents, unless they
are Just too impossible (and I
am not writing for that type
Of parent, stand first on his
list of wonderful beings.
Praise Works
He may be too stubborn to ad-
NIT it at the time, but the
parents caSually-handed-o -out
The Washington times., 1934-01-19

bit of praise will sink deeply
into his mind.
In dealing with the excitable
child a gentle voice is a great
asset.
We all know how a harsh,
unpleasant voice among our
adult companions rasps our
nerves, and children are even
more susceptible to such in
fluenceS. "
OF course, we aren't all blessed
with the voice of the dove, but
we can keep that nervous, un-
pleasant tone out of our voices
when we reprove the children.
We need not, as youngsters
complain, "holler" at them so
much.

Beaux Arts Ball
Has Oriental
Theme
BY VICTORIA GAINES

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-And q
good time was had by all.
That, undoubtedly will be the
morning-after verdict on the
Beaux Arts ball tonight-that
exciting extravaganza which
puts glamour and romance into
the dull lives of New YorkerS
and some much-needed cash
into the pockets of impoverished
architects.
For the price a pair of tickets
to the Beaux Arts ball, one can
enjoy all the pleasures of a
5,000-mile voyage to the Far
East. If you've longed for Few
quaint Chinese customs, and
costumes, here's your chance
to obey that impulse.
The Orient
OF course, if you go Chinese,
you'll be competing with Mrs.
Harrison Williams, which is no
trifling competition, since she
was recently judged one of the
10 beSt-dreSSed women in the
world. She is wearing a black
chiffon and velvet Chinese cos
tune, studded with rhinestones,
and a rhinestone pugoda hat.
Mrs. Frederick C. Havemeyer
has also succumbed to the lure
of the East in a pair of beau.
tifully embroidered and bro
caded Chinese pyjamas with a
beaded headdress, and Mrs.
Audrey Pierce will be present
as a Chinese Princess in q
flaming feather headdress and
black satin costume. If all
this doesn't inspire you to head
for the nearest copy of the
Good Earth" and bowl of chop
suey, then you have more will
power than we have.
If your yearnings lie in the
direction of Persia, you can go
in for turbans and harem
trousers in the grand manner.
Mrs. Kenneth Murchison, wife
of the director of the Beaux
Arts Ball, will take to a feather
topped turban, yellow trousers
and a green jacket for this
evening, and Mrs. Morgan Ham
ilton will likewise appear in the
shaving brush" hearddress and
vari-colored trousers of the
Persian Court.
Three Themes
Or if your secret regret has
been that you lived too late for
the romantic gondolas and
Strumming guitars Of old Ven
ice, you can satisfy your inner
urge without much change Of
costume. Venetian ladies wore
trains and tiaras, too, you know.
These three themes-ChineSe,
Persian and Venetian will DOM
mate the Beaux Arts Ball this
year.
Decorations will match the
costumes in magnificence. Chi
nese lanterns will glimmer from
every corner, fire-breathing drag
onS will snort from the stage
and priceless pennants and ban
ners will completely obliterat0
the familiar modernistic deco

Beauty Queries
And Answers
PLASTIC SURGERY

PLASTIC SURGERY
Question: Is plastic surgery
the only means Of reducing the
size of ones nose? The bone
structure is not bad, but the
tissue and cartilage make the
nose appear wide and flabby.
Would an operation be too
risky? MRS. B. j.
Answer: It's the only way
I know. However, massage by
someone who is expert might
be helpful. Creams and as
tringents will get the skin Of
the nose smooth and firm, but
they can't change the shape
at all. No, an operation is not
DANGEROUS.

Coat for Cruises

southern resort at times, so
don't forget to pack a coat. A
new model for cruise wear, in
turquoise woolen. has a fitted
silhouette and dolman sleeves.
It's collar of brown kidSkin can
be worn open in wings over the
shoulder or made into q high
standing collar.
The Washington times., 1934-01-19

That's the way the fashion
magazine, Vogue" starts out
its lead article in the January
is number. It's a perfect sum-
mary of these first shifting
winds, which tell so much if
you know how to read them,
that we can't resist quoting it.
Season of Motion
It seems from all indications
that the spring is to be a sea-
son Of motion, of direction Of
line in our clothes. True, it will
have much freshness of color,
much that is interesting in
weave, but essentially the new
points and the high spots will
be those Of line.
Right now the strongest indi-
cation is for a windblown sill
houette. The wind may blow
on you from almost any angle,
but be sure that you have it
hit you all over.
If your hat blows straight
back from your face, have fins
or gills off your coat, going
backward, too, or have your
scarf flung back, rather than
forward, to complete the move
ment.
Forward silhouette
The newest looking wind
blowns" have their motion to
the front. This is an idea
sponsored by Schiaparelli, by
Patou, by Elizabeth Hawes, the
American designer, and various
other notables.
Skirt fullness is in the front
rather than the back, coats
flare to the front, and the hats
to 60 with these clothes, have
q forward direction, too.
But pictures speak louder
than words, so please let me di-
rect your attention to the pho
tographS we have of some of
the new windblown clothes.
Streamlined Suit.
The suit shown has clever
movement to the front. Notice
that the shoulders are smooth,
unlike those of the past year,
with just a little sharp fin out
the back to give streamline ef-
feet. That word "Streamline" is
another of the watchwords Of
spring, too. ~ the way.
Both the skirt and coat Of
this suit have their fulness in
the front. The collar is Moth
ing in the back, but juts for
ward, Ss though blown. It's a
knee-length coat, which is i'm
portant, too.
SchiapareIli Copy
This suit, which Schiaparelli
designed, comes in smart tweeds,
In beige, rust, gray or green, and
In a navy blue crepey wool. 1t
Is in misses sizes, and priced
only $19.75 for all it's neWness.
"A following breeze ushered in
Schiaparelli's windblown silhou-
ette," says a clever New Yorker,
speaking of these clothes. And
the coat shows it. It is of bright
tWeeds, with leather belt, and
tucks under the belt to give
front fulnesS.
OF Vivid TweedS
The colors of this coat are
exceedingly smart, gray and red
mixture, brown and white or
brown and gold, black and white
,or navy and white. A two-tone
silk scarf fills the windblown
neckline. This coat is $25, and
don't fail to notice the cunning
pockets that add to the line.
Both suit and coat are in misses
sizes, IL to 18.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am deeply in love with a
girl who was a member of our
graduation class last June. I
was not we'll acquainted with
her when we were in school
together, and I did not show
any sign of how much I loved
her. Our homes are quite dis
tance apart, and I do not feel
I know her well enough to call
without an invitation. Do you
think it would be all right if I
were to send her a card, prefer
ably one with a picture of our

she remembers?
