clothes, in different size ranges,
different types. You're sure to
find many things that really
suit you. OF course there may
be some alterations still, but you
won't have an alteration charge
that will almost equal the price
Of the dress.
Most stores are doing their
best to provide departments for
each type of woman, or figure.
But one store in particular
has divided off q section Of the
floor, and has nothing but
clothes for women in larger
sizes. Not only are there dresses,
suits and coats in sizes 46 to So.
but there are half sizes, 42R
and up. Prices are moderate,
from $10.95 to around $50 or
more.
youthful Lines
Styles are not too mature. :.
but lines are youthful, and make
you look young in spite Of size.
Goats are in quarter sizes too,
which means much to you if you
know them.
Fitting rooms are large and
airy, and SaleSwomen are not
the flapper type which so often
annoys the woman Of larger
proportions when she Is shop

other sizes are equally well taken
care of.

Upon the dreaming coasts tram

And drag distinctions harvest

Of throwing off the poisons of
the system must not be dis
turbed to much. You must be
careful, too, not to apply a
perspiration checker too soon
after using q depilatory under
the arms or elsewhere, or the
tender skin in that area may
become irritated.
After using a depilatory,
therefore, or even after shaw
ing, wait at least IL hours be-
fore applying a perspiration
checker. Use instead a good
deodorant. The younger gen.
Grafton will be particularly
pleased with a deodorant that
comes in a handy little con-
tainer Of silvery metal and is
not greasy or sticky. It has
rather a spicy odor, and now
that days are getting warmer,
every woman might well have
one for her bathroom and one
for her purse. It is so effective
that it overcomeS even the
scent Of talcum under the arms.
Spray the body with toilet
water, instead, for fragrance.

But it's also no secret that
the situation is getting much
better.
It's impossible for each and
every type to find a dress or
coat that goes right on like a
glove, for there are far too
many figures. Nowadays, there
are many more types Of clothes,
however, and with slight altera-
tions, nearly every woman can
find clothes that suit not only
her figure, but her general taste
and pocketbook.
Alterations LesSened
For many years there were just
dresses for women and misses.
That meant that if you were ex.
ira short or tall, that if you
happened to be rather large in
the hips or shoulders, that you
must have endless alterations
made. might as well have the
dress made in the beginning,
you often thought.
You're probably familiar with
the various half sizes and off
sizes that stores carry now.
There are clothes for the short
woman with otherwise average
figure, for those with fullness
through hips and shoulders, for
those who are both tall and
large. for very slender people,
and of course plenty for those
with almost no figure problems.
Seek Your Type
The point Of this story is not
to tell you what you can get,
but to try and tell you how to
get it.

The Wedding Day Is Set
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Our wedding is set for a GER
tain day in May. It's q senti-
mental anniversary in our fam.
lily, being my parents wedding
day and mothers birthday as
well.
Last week my fiance was laid
off from his job. I still have
mine. but we have only q little
money saved, something over
5000. He leaves the postpone
ment Of our wedding up to me.
I am superstitiouS about
changing this date: it has
meant so much to us both.
What do you say? We 1--we
each other devotedly. He Is
~ and I am %. HARRIET.
1t all depends, my dear Har-
riet, whether it would be safe
to take this step or not. #
your fiance is equipped with q
good profession or trade, and is
likely to get another job soon,
think it would be safe for
you to marry him on the date
mentioned.
II his employment has been
casual, and he has no technical
equipment for a job, to marry
an unemployed man, under
these circumstances, would be,
I think, risky.
Another factor Is the amount
Of your own salary, and if you
are likely to lose your position
when you marry. All Of these
things must Oe considered most
carefully. But, here's hoping
that you arrive at a happy so
luton Of your problem.

The man should stand at the

enters the compartment Of the
revolving door, he pushes the
near edge of the door, to get it
started, SO that it will be easier
for the woman to continue the
swing Of the door.

old friend. for when my husband
was attached to our, embassy IN
Berlin several years ago 1T was
introduced to me under rather
amusing, and for me, disastrous
circumstances.
It Is known as Mai Bowie"
and one Of its chief attractions
is the fruit, usually peaches or
Strawberries, floating on its sur
face. It is made with champagne
and white wine, and the fruit
spins in the bubbles caused by
the champagne, absorbing all it
can hold Of the potency OF the
wine. I, at that time, was pretty
insufferable, being young and
very cocky about the fact that I
never drank anything stronger
than tea. On being taken out on
a Berlin evening party, I an
nounced, upon the arrival OF the
. "bowle" that Of course, as did
not drink the wine, I was en-
titled to all the fruit, and, there
. fore, demanded the lions share.
Has Heavy Kick
NV companions acquiesced
mildly-too mildly, if had only
had my wits about me, instead
of being intent on being so
goody-goody-and forked over
the strawberries. They tasted
very good, and I soon finished
them off. The sequel is sad and
bitter. I was escorted home in a
shameful state Of unsteadiness,
by friends who were completely
convulsed with merriment, to
awaken next morning with a
beautiful hangover, and a blood
thirsty desire for revenge. This
was accomplished, at a much
later date, but since that expert.
ence with the "bowle" I have
learned that the fruit can pack
a. worse kick than the drink it
self, and had better be left
alone, except in moderation.
Here is the recipe for this
famous concoction:
''Mai Bowie"
Cut one pint strawberries in
halves, sprinkle with granulated
sugar, and pour over them one
wineglassful Bacardi rum. AL
low the berries to soak in the
rum and their own juice for
about one hour. Just before
serving pour two quarts Rhine
or Moselle wine, and two quarts
champagne inexpensive cham
payne will do) into a large
glass bowl, stir in the fruit, and
place the bowl in a larger bowl
in ! bed of cracked ice. Allow
to become very cold, and serve
in punch glasses.
"Kalte Ente"
(COld Duck)
Add the Juice Of one lemon,
and another lemon cut in thin
slices to two bottles of Rhine
or Moselle wine, and one bot
tie of sparkling mineral water.
Place a sprig of mint in each
tall glass, half full of crushed
ice, and pour wine mixture over
the ice into the glass.
The above is delicious served
with a summer luncheon con-
sisting of cold sliced ham, cold
asparagus viniagrette, and a
cool iced dessert.
Another simple and cooling
drink is made by simply pour
ing a glass half full Of Rhine
or Moselle wine, adding ice, and
filling up the glass with mineral
water. This is very refreshing
in warm weather.
BY. combining the wines IN
these different ways, it becomes
possible to use less expensive
vintages, and I should think
that many of our American
wines, especially the American
champagnes would take very
kindly to this treatment.

you may give me.
Yours truly,
MRS. e. T.
Dear Mrs. e. T.:
Lots of cold water and as
tringents will help close the
pores but first they must be
thoroughly cleanSed. Every
night remove your makeup
with cleansing cream. Follow
with warm water and a mild
soap, then rinse in warm, then
cold water. II your skin Is
very dry. you can omit soap
and water cleansing several
times weekly-using it perhaps
only on alternate nights.
On nights that you use
cream only, follow with q mild
astringent to close the pores.
Milk is good too as an astrin-
gent, used occasionally. Just
before retiring apply nouriSh'
ing cream, but do not leave on
porous parts all night.
In the morning. apply q
skin clearing cream, leave on q
few minutes, then apply on
astingent lotion, one that is
protective. During the day
keep your skin clean with
cream or q liquid cleanser, skin
freshener or astringent. Cleanse
your skin each time before re-
newing makeup. The main
thing is to keep the pores very
clean for clean pores auto
matically close.

EiS Mother Disapproves
Dear Miss Fairfax:
When I met this boy, about
two years ago, it seemed to be
q case Of love at first sight. We
were together every evening for
three months. Everything went
along fine. That was when
his mother was away.
Now that she has returned, she
seems not to approve Of our
courtship, and 50 he has told
me he cannot see me as often
Is he did before his mother came
home. These only occasional
meetings stopped altogether
after about three months.
7 see him now every day In
school. I still love him: ] can
not forget him, through I try.
7 only feel like staying at home
all the time, to avoid the pain
Of seeing him. e. L. D.
It seems to me, my dear child,
that you are dramatizing the
disappointment you naturally
feel in having this friendship
interrupted by this boys mother.
While I am very sympathetic,
indeed, with boys and girls, and
while I am perfectly willing to
believe that the pain they feel
ct separation is very genuine,
I know-in fact I can say very
positively-that these affairs are
merely flurrieS. They are pre-
Z fiminarieS to more serious at.
fairs Of the heart that will come
later In life.
Cultivate sports, take a deeper
interest In your studies, play

devote yourself to one boy.

Face Value

Face Value
Dear Miss Shelby:
am not interested in reduc-
ing, but I do want to improve
my complexion. I have pimpleS
and blackheadS and large pores.
The pimples are especially
bad when my stomach is upset.
Would q diet help my condj-
ton?
Sincerely yours,
Miss r. w.
Dear Miss e. W.:
Pimples come from disordered
blood, due usually to the wrong
sort Of diet, insufficient fresh
air and exercise which causes
clogged inactive pores. So alb
solute cleanliness inside and out
is most essential.
Keep the system clean by
eating the proper foods. Fresh
fruits and vegetables, coarse
cereals and bread are easiest to
digest and eliminate-and good
elimination is. very important.
Drink at least" eight glasses Of
water every day and get all the
exercise you can to stimulate
good blood circulation and help
the pores to activity.
Battle daily, following with
brisk friction with a coarse
towel to bring up the blood.
Use a good anticeptic soap and
warm water, following with a
cooling shower. There are excel
lent acne soaps on the mar
ket that are soothing, correc-
tive, very good for a blemiShed
skin.
When you wash your face at
night use warm water and O
flesh brush with antiseptic soap,
rinising well afterwards. # your
skin is sensitive, apply q little
pure cream and leave on a few
moments. Then touch the blem-
isheS with a good acne cream
or lotion and leave on.
