WASHINGTONLANS PREPARE TO OBSERVE TRADITIONAL NEW
LACE WELLS AS THEY ARE WORN IN PARIS

NEWS COMES to US that lace wells ex-
tremely good in Paris now, and that they may
be arranged in many ways. The design of the
lace is always placed with particular attention to
beccmingness, and often the lace is draped under
the chin as well as over the eyes. This picture
shows Chantilly lace used on a broad-brimmed
afternoon hat in most effective manner, with
veil and another swag of the lace under the chin.
Sometimes wells may be slightly stiffened about the
border, that they will flare away from the face.
Any length is good, though wells that do not come
below the mouth are most popular.

They can also be applied with a

Will you please tell me of an
exercise that will reduce my
hips?
My general physical build is
quite small, only my hips are
out of proportion.
Sincerely, GINGER.

kick violently backward with
quick. short movements keep
ing leg straight and tensing
muscles of leg and buttocks.
Repeat ten times. then turn

flattened and calves reduced or
developed in proportion to the
tension of the muscles and
vigor of kick. Keep leg straight.

Pores
Nay Be Cured
BY JULIET SHELBY

Girls who otherwise have nice
skin, free from blemishes and
discolorations, often have large
pores. And no matter how they
experiment in making-up, the
distressing condition causes
their powder to go on unevenly
and their rouge to blotch. The
result is anything but lovely.
think girls with very large
pores should try to refrain from
using any powder or rouge.
They should strive to get nice
effect with a smooth, dull-finish
cream and vivid eye makeup
and lipstick. That tends to sub
due the facial skin and make
the pores less noticeable.
However, it is much more to
the point if you can refine en-
larged pores and make your
skin soft and smooth. And
sometimes this is possible.
I have known girls to cure
such a skin condition by con-
Stantly applying a preparation
which tends to contract the skin
and protect the pores from gath
ering impurities. Such prepa-
ration should be applied only
after the pores have been thor
oughly cleansed, with cream or
by steaming. And. if you want
satisfying results. you must keep
up the good work every night
before you tumble into bed.
can give you the name of an
enlarged pore set that is little
known. You mix the quantity
you need for the affected area
and leave it on your skin to dry.
The directions are simple, and
if you are troubled with en-
larged pores on the sides of your
nose. the corners of your mouth,
or high on your cheeks, I would
suggest that you try it. Those
who make it know a great deal
about the idiosyncrasies of skin
and scalp.

Dear Mr.. Beeckman:
MY sister was married a
month ago and is living with
her mother-in-law. Would it be
appropriate for me to invite
this lady to my home first, or
should I wait until she offers
me an invitation? T.
It would be correct, and a
very gracious thing for you to
do, to invite your sisters
mother-in-law to your home,
with your sister and her hus-
band, as soon as you can con-
veniently do so. There is no
reason for you to wait for a
first invitation from her.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

like to answer his letter. but I

He told me a week later that
he was in love with me. For
three months he was devoted
to me. In the meantime, he
lost his job and was out of
work, so we had to cut out
going to expensive places.
I told him I would rather
not go anywhere that cost
money because he needed every
cent. Then suddenly he dis
appeared. I wish knew

You'll have to be patient

Probably he will write when he

CHICAGO, September 10 The
celebration of Constitution day at the
World Fair, it appears was S125 900
financial coup for the Cook County
Republican party.
Few of the loyal Democrats among
the crowd of nearly 100000 which
jammed the fair grounds Monday
realized that they were contributing
unwittingly to the Golfers of the oppo-
sition. The inside story did not come
out until the receipts were counted
and the jubilant Republicans were no
longer able to withhold their secret.
julius H. Miner, chairman of the
County Republican Finance Commit
tee, evolved the idea of a 81 admis-
sion to the fair which would be good
for % favorite concessions, and ar
ranged with the fair management and
concessionaires to give Sc worth of
attractions for a dollar.
The concessionaires were guaranteed
average receipts for a Monday. AL
monies raised in addition to the guar
antees, the agreements stipulated, were
to 60 to the county committee, which
pushed the ticket sales.
1t was announced that non-parti-
san civic body was the sponsor and a
non-partisan program was planned.
The Democratic speaker was Former
Senator James A. Reed of Missouri.
In their coup the Republicans were
aided by Mayor Kelly of Chicago and
Gov. Henry Horner, stanch Democrats
who issued Constitution day proclama-

NEW YORK, September ia
broadside of criticism was directed to-

municipal lottery. Threat of a legal
fight against the lottery was voiced.
No sooner had the Board of Alder
men and the Board of Estimate passed
the hurriedly drawn-up measures
than protests were raised in several
quarters.
Rev. George Drew Egbert, president
of the Society for the Prevention Of
Crime. said the lottery would sap the

society is consulting attorneys to de-
eide what legal action to take.
Mayor F. H. LaGuardia, who ac-

original proposal for raising money
had been rejected, admitted a lottery
stood about one chance in ten of be-

GAS PRICE PACT
QU|ETS3COUNT|ES
All of Montgomery, Prince
Georges and Fairfax to
Sell at D. C. Charges.

Settlement Of the controversy over
gasoline prices in nearby Maryland
and Virginia was announced today by
Fred Heine, president OF the 1nde-
pendent Gasoline Dealers of Mont
gomery County.
Under the agreement, which became
effective today, gasoline will be sold
at District prices within the same
boundaries in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties, Md, and Fairfax
County, Va, as applied before the
N. R. A. code went into effect several
months ago. All Of Arlington County
and Alexandria, Va. are included In
the District price zone.
Ratification of the agreement by
Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey, word
of which reached Heine yesterday, re-
moved the last obstacle in the long
fight of the independent dealers to
put the gas prices back on an equitable
basis with those in Washington. Under
the N. r. A. code the gasoline COM
panies were prohibited from absorb
ing" the difference between the Dis
trict gas tax and the tax in Maryland
and Virginia.
The dealers, claiming they were
threatened with financial ruin unless
allowed to sell at District prices, pro-
tested and, in conjunction with the
Petroleum Board, an agreement was
drawn up whereby the companies
would sell to them at a price which
would permit the posting of the same
prices as listed here
Under the code only stations in the
immediate suburbs of Washington had
been permitted to sell at District
prices. Now all stations within the
area in effect before the code was
promulgated will buy gas on 3-cent
margin and sell at Washington prices.

him as he sank his fangs into the
horses neck, taking refuge in the
Hankins- Johann Sheet Metal Works.
