The Lilt OF A Laugh

I've toiled with the men who strove
with zest.
And I've toiled with the men who
walled
And this is the tale my soul would
As it drifts DER the harbor bar:
The sound of a sigh doesn't carry
well
But the lilt of laugh rings far.
"The men who were near the grumb-
ler's side.
Oh. they heard not a word he
said;
The sound of a song rang far and
wide.
And they hardened to that in
stead.
It's tones were sweet as the tales
they tell
Of the rise of the Christmas star.
The sound of a sigh doesn't carry
well.
But the lilt of a laugh rings far.
"If you would be heard at all, my
lad.
Keep a laugh in your heart and
throat:
For those who are deaf TO accents

Are alert to the cheerful note.
Keep hold of the cord of daughters

Keep aloft from the means that

has increased sharply. While quail

altered accordingly, to say moth
ing of the narrower shoulders
and wider hips which are spec
ial problems of the petite type.
However, the result of all this
high-powered analysis has been
a series of styles for smaller
women that is the last word in
smartness. No longer is she
condemned to "old-lady" modes
on account of her size. These
models include such high-style
notes as Schiaparelli's wind
blown" silhouette, Violet's plas-
irons, petal necklineS and sleeves
and lots of others that have
hitherto been reserved for the
showgirl siren.
While the tluffy-ruffle type Of
thing is taboo, of course, there
are plenty of flats, yet flatter-
ing, effects in jabotS of flshnet
lace, revers of contrasting colors'
crisp collars, etc. And a little
ones" best bet is a semi-bolero
frock with the bolero coming
only to the seams in front,
leaving the back perfectly plain.
Smooth Effects
This covers multitude OF
sins, since a large bust, a heavy
diaphragm or fleshy rolls under
the arms are all hidden under
the charitable lines of the Simu-
lated bolero.
Diagonal lines are good, too,
and can be had in clever
crossed-over effects that avoid
the abhorred "surplice" style
that stamps a frock Immediately
as "matronly". And some very
smooth effects, indeed, are

fairly rapidly until he is getting
a tablespoonful by the begin
ming of the seventh month. 'The
amount should then be in
creased to two tableSpoonfuls by
the eight-month and three by
the ninth. From this time on
give three tablespoonfuls daily.
NOurishing
Spinach should be served the
baby at least three times a week
as it is the best vegetable for
him. On the non-spinach days
he may have carrots, chard, new
green peas, fresh green lima
beans, fresh asparagus, string
beans, young beet greens or
cooked lettuce.
When he is a year old you
may add to his vegetable list

squash, celery. beetS, cauliflower,
kale and cabbage. When buy
ing cabbage or lettuce get the
darker green type.
Potatoes are usually given
from the tenth month on. They
should be baked and two or
three tablespoonfuls given three
or four times a week. After the
tenth month they may be given
daily. They must not, however,
be used as substitutes for green
vegetables as they have an
entirely different function to
perform in nouriShing the child.

They are not especially ex-
pensive either when you con-
slider the amount of time and
energy necessary to properly
prepare strained vegetables for
the baby in the home kitchen.
Not to mention their original
cost and fuel consumed in their
cooking.
Appetizing
Then, too, the family may
object if asked to eat baby
food" every day. 1t is possible,
of course, to cook just enough
for the baby but the vegetables
are likely to be not quite so ap-
petizing when prepared in such
small quantities.
Use the canned California vege-
tales by all means if you can
get them and if your household
budget permits.
However, if it doesn't or If
you would rather prepare the

the water left on them after

Kinds and Amounts
Root and stalk vegetables,
such as carrots, beets and Gel

and cooked until soft in as little
water as possible in a double
boiler covered to prevent evap-

cooking time will depend upon
whether the vegetables are
young or old. When soft gut

them.

New Hats Focus
Attention
On Eyes
BY LISA DUMONT

Many women go in for eye
makeup in the daytime and
although we do not sponsor it
except for those who have very
fight eyebrows and lashes, the
fact that it enjoys great popu-
larity is reason enough for our
writing a story on the subject.
For we certainly cannot be
dictatorial about something
which involves personal taste.
Eyes have become q focal
point of attention under the
up-flung brims of the new
off f-the-face hats, those smart
ones, some of them resembling
fiSherman'S Sou'weSters and
others looking like naive baby
bonnetS.
Requires Skill
OF course, eye makeup must
be done skillfully when the
eyes are so exposed, or it may
become artificial looking. But
if you use reliable eye cos
metics and apply them SPAR
ingly, you needn't worry about
the results.
The perfect mascara is Of
such consistency that it makes
the laShes look delicately
fringed instead of heavily
beaded and the correct kind OF
eyebrow pencil leaves a natural
looking line instead of a harsh
one. The better type of eye
lash darkener is non-smarting
and tear-proof too, preventing
any Smudges.
Right Touch
You may use tiny bit Of eye
shadow to match the color OF
your eyes. Do not let this
shadow extend above the natural
indentation made by the eyeball,
however, during the day. At
night it may be extended to the
eyebrow, very lightly, Of course.
Despite endless variations in
coloring of hair, eyes and skin,
most women may be divided into
three groups-fair, medium and
dark. The two standard and
most natural looking shades Of
mascara-brown and black
can easily be apportioned among
these three types.
Good Blending
Fair women with delicate
white skins and blonde hair
should wear brown mascara
both day and night; those Of
medium coloring, with brown or
red hair and skin neither light
nor dark, will find brown most
becoming for daytime and black
for evening. Vivid brunetteS
can wear black mascara for all
occasions.
A good rule to follow in select
ing eyeshadow is to use a shade
that matches the color Of your
eyes.
Exceptions to this rule are

EVENING COUTURE

Question: My face is round
and I have some difficulty ar
ranging my hair to suit my face
when l go out dancing or for
formal evening occasions. I
wear my hair in q deb's bob, but
I'd like to comb it a different
way evenings. will you please
answer SOOn.-B. w.
Answer: It's difficult to sug-
geSt a becoming coiffure with
out seeing a person. However,
no doubt you know that curls
dressed high on the head are
popular for formal occasions.
Have you thought of wearing
one Of the lovely new jewelled
tiarS? They add a touch Of
glamour to any evening coiffure.
Formal coiffures may be as elab-
crate or simple as you wish. A
side part would be more flatter-
ing than a center one, probably,
since your face is round.
The Washington times., 1934-01-30

lines give very much the same
general silhouette. They are
seldom extremely low in the
back either, which is another
trend that's been growing slowly
for q season or so.
It's easy to find dress with
this new neckline that is neither
too formal nor informal for a
number of occasions in
other words, a good in-between
type. For shoulders or arms are
usually covered, yet there's
quite an expanse of throat show
ing.
In-Between Type
We've photographed one OF
the best of the new gowns we've
found with this new neckline.
It's Of black rough crepe, al
most messy in texture. It is the
sort that you can call dinner or
evening, and so get a great deal
of use out Of.
There's a sort of tied7sleeve
arrangement that you adjust as
high or as low as you want, by
means Of the bow in the back.
Dropped far down, you have an
evening dress. Tied high up,
you have a demure dinner or
cocktail hour frock.
Matching Clips
Two huge leaf shaped clips
hold the neckline just where
the straps start. Two more
form the buckle for the belt.
There are extremely full sleeves,
which nevertheless have no
puffiness, and which are slit
to show your arm.
The dress is floor length.
which is smart now, and you
can shorten it later if dinner
and dance frocks 60 up to the
ankles, as they threaten to.
This same dress comes in
aquamarine, if you prefer a
lighter tone. It is pricsd $16.95

When Manners
Are Correct
BY MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
My girl friend and I are hav.
ing a dispute which has turned
into a bet. I always read your
column and you answered this
question for me once before,
but as I did not keep your an
Swer I did not have it for verifi-
cation.
1 wrote a letter to a dear
friend of my mothers, during
her absence. I could not re-
member this friends deceased
husbands name, so I addressed
the envelope to Alice Downs,
town, State. My girl friend says
that this was wrong, that it
should have been addressed to
Mrs. Alice Downs.
You are a source Of help to
so many people and I am sure
all of them would join me in
thanking you. My heart longs
to thank such people who are
Of such a service to humanity.
S.
Thank you, with a very. deep
bow, for your bautiful tribute
%. it touched me very much,
dear friend.
After you have been so
friendly, it seems very ungraci-
Gus Of me not to be able to
tell you that you were right
in the way that you addressed
this letter. But I'm sorry to
say that you weren't. We must
have a title before Cor Esq.
after) a name written on an
envelope. This is most i'm
portant, for omitting the title
gives a curt and bruSque ap-
pearance to our addressing Of
the envelope, and doesn't do
honor to the person to whom
we are writing.
It is always the formal name
that we write on an envelope.
And since a widows formal
name is exactly the same as
it was before her husbands
death, we should address an
envelope to a widow: Mrs.
Henry Downs.
Now since you could not re-
member this friends deceased
husbands name, it would have
been better to use the form
Mrs. Downs, rather than the
form suggested by your friend.
Mrs, Alice Downs.

NEW NECNES SHOULDER AS THEY DID IN EARLY 10ooS
| LittIeWomenNow
Have Own
Styles
BY VICTORIA GAINES

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-With
all the ballyhoo bestowed on
Little Women" precious little
attention has been paid to the
Little Women of real life
those diminutive five-footers
with a very few inches
more or less. They have been
the Cinderellas of the fashion
world, where everything seems
to be styled for their more
stately step-SiSterS.
If a frock is smart, it's sure
to be the wrong size, and if by
some miracle it does fit the
shorter figure, it's usually hope
lesSly dowdy. Up till now, the
petite woman has spent most
of her life having alterations
made which never looked right
anyway.
Ultra Smart
Wee women can wear any,
thing that the stately sylphs do,
they firmly declare, provided it
is properly proportioned to their
figures. To accomplish this,
they have analyzed the typical
short woman's figure, slim or
stout as the case may be.
This is not merely a matter
of shorter skirts and sleeves

Thinking Failure
Brings Her
Misery
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Her Love Is Thwarted by
Ambitious Mother

People talk of girls coming
OUT; but here's a girl who Is
considering "going in" perm
anently. She writes: 1T just
can't make the grade. People
think I'm stuck up, queer, no
mixer, when the only trouble
with me is that I'm over
sensitive and try too hard to
please. My middle name is
'inferiority complex
"I've been a dreadful flop
ever since left school, and
such a disappointment to
mother, who had high hopes
Of my being as popular as
she was. Well, I'm about as
popular as a case Of smallpox.
If a man asks me to dance no
one will cut in, and I'm left
on his hands. I see him max
ing signals to other boys to
get me, and they won't.
Only Daughter q.
"The boy I like is on the
Pacific Coast. Father approves
Of him highly, but mother gets
angry every time he writes,
because he is not rich. He's
a ranchman and very hard
working.
I'd love to have a job, but as
I'm the only daughter mother
prefers having me home to help
around the house. I can do that
well enough, but I'd like to have
an outside position. I'd like to
be in a shop, or best of all, to
teach kindergarten, because I
dearly love children.
FAs I'm %, don't you think
I ought to assert myself and get
training for some of these
things? Father is on my side,
but not my mother, who wants
to be a social success.
DISCOURAGED"
I wish you'd stop talking and
thinking of yourself as a "com'
plete failure" Nothing is more
likely to make you one than at
taching that label to yourself,
and living night and day with
that thought uppermost.
GAS man thinketh in his
heart, so is he." Think failure,
and you'll achieve it without the
least difficulty. Also, here's
another good one to remember.
Thoughts are things"
wish I wouldn't be violating
a confidence if I gave you the
name of a certain star who,
when she was young and strug-
Cling, at last made Broadway.
The first act of the play, upon
which she had built all her
hopes, was an utter failure.
Some newspaper people, among
whom I happened to be, went
back-Stage to see her.
Can Be Done
Never shall I forget the sight!
While several members of the
cast looked on the girl, with
tears streaming down her
cheeks, danced magnificently
an inspired solo, as wildly in
spirational as anything the
Russian Ballet ever put across.
It electrified the cast, who
had stumbled through the first
act in the clutch of failure.
The play finished so per cent
better than it began. Her next
play was a success, and now
she's one of our best actresses.
I think you're right to "go in"
if you hate coming out" Not
every girl can be a social sue
cess, and it's my belief that
your failure at parties is due
to the fact that you were too
anxious to be popular and make
the hit your mother desired.
AS you've got your father on
your side, insist on preparing
yourself for a job. That self
consciousness you have to such
an uncomfortable degree will
disappear under the influence
of finding yourself in the right
place.
AS for that nice young man,
my advice is to bide your time
for further developments.
