Common Causes
Although intoXicantS and

things which contribute to this

A nervous reaction from the

When Manners
Are Correct
BY MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN

Oysters and HOrS d'Oeuvre
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Will you please tell me the
correct way to eat an oyster ON
the half-shell? Is the whole
oyster put into the mouth with
the aid of a fork, is it cut into
pieces then eaten in that way,
or should the shell be taken be-
tween the fingers, the liquid
drunk and the oyster swallowed
whole?
When an oyster cocktail Is
served. should the oyster be first
eaten with a fork and then the
liquid drunk?
What is the correct pronun-
citation of the words "horS
d'oeuvre?" H.
/. With the oyster fork take
the oyster from the shell and
eat the oyster whole. "Spear
the beast, and it is yourS!" Do
not cut the oyster, even if it
seems to have more or less the
personality of the big, bad wolf.
2. No. When the cocktail
sauce is served with the oysters,
lift the oyster from the shell,
dip it in the sauce, and then eat
it. The sauce is for "dunking"
the oyster.
8. Hors d'oeuvre is pro-
nounced in two syllables. The
first syllable is like or, with the
o as in cord. That is, the h
and the S are not pronounced.
The second part of the word is
also pronounced in one syllable,
with a bit of lingering on the
final r, but not making the
final r a full syllable. It is as
if it were spelled duvr, with the
u having the value Of the u in
fur.

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-First
signs of spring in the fashion
world are not the first robin
or the first primrose, but the
first spring fabrics. And they
are just as apt to appear in
winter blizzard as in a spring
breeze, for fabrics forecast
spring fashions by many
months.
Bright Patterns
This season, fabrics seem to
promise spring fashions a long
life and a merry one, for they
are all bright cheerful affairs
without the slightest suggestion
Of the sombreness which Shad.
owed so many materials last
season.
Printed silks manage to be
both bright and dark at the
same time, because of their gay
light patterns against dark
backgrounds.
very few prints have not a
fresh, flowery design in some
form or other-a white snow.
drop against a black satin
ground, a cherry-red cluster Of
blossoms on a blue crepe
ground, or those interesting PEN
line prints-fantastic leaves
and flowers outlined by a bold
stroke of the pen.
Some are bordered, some are
striped, but the smartest prints
of all are designed on diagonal
lines.
King Cotton
Dress woolens are largely the
lightweight basketweaves in the
novelty plaids and checks that
make up such nice spring suits
or separate jackets.
Cotton is King, however,
when it comes to fabrics for
Southern wear now and sum-
mer wear later. Every cotton
is crinkled and puckered this
season, from the crinkled or
CANDY for your collar and cuff
sets to the seersucker cottons
for whole suits and frocks.
Seersuckers, by the way, are
headed for even greater success
this season than last, in striped
or checked effects. And cotton
shirtings in multi-colored
stripes are going over for sports
frocks.
Blue Leads
When it comes to heavier cot
tons, look before you leap into
linens, for they're usually cot
tons with a linen-like finish or
weave. Piques, too, are hand.
picked favorites of this years
cotton crop.
Blue is generally agreed upon
as the big color news in spring
styles. It is smart in all shades
navy blue, royal blue, and q
few lighter blues of a violet
cast.
Beige will be the next best
bet, and green's are coming up
from the bottom of the color
card where they have lurked so
long. Black and white, as
usual, will be a favored spring
color combination with smart
women the world over.

Advice to the
LoveIorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
SpatS After Marriage
Dear Miss Fairfax:

SpatS After Marriage
Dear Miss Fairfax:
am just 18 and have been
MP 4'ried for eight months. My
husband is % and he. has left
me, but I love him enough to
forgive him for everything he
has done. We had a fuss one
morning; he has an awful
temper, and he left. Later he
came back and asked me if I
still loved him, but I wouldn't
say yes or no, though he said
he still loved me and was COM
ing back. My mother doesn't
like him, and is doing every.
thing to break us up.
I wish we had home of our
own, but we can't afford it, and
it's a very unsatisfactory
arrangement-two families liv-
ing together.
MARY LOUISE.
The best advice I can give
you, my dear Mary Louise, now
that you're a married lady, Ii
to stop having foolish lovers
quarrels, and make up with your
husband without any further
loss of time. It is unfortunate,
as you say, when two families
have to live under the same
roof; and if it's humanity pos
Sible ior you to do so, I hope
that you and your husband will
go by yourselves, even If you
have to practice the most rigid
economy.

Beauty Queries
And Answers
ANKLES

Question turn ON my
ankles frequently, especially
when wearing high heels. I've
noticed recently that my ankles
are becoming quite thick as a
consequence. Could you advise
me on this? E. A.
Answer-If you turn on your
ankles frequently with high
heels, I'd advise you first of all
to adopt more sensible medium
heels. For repeated turning on
the ankles may be responsible
for their enlarged condition.
With the constant turning, the
ankle bones shift to the sides,
and the ligaments thicken.
Then, in the course of time, the
tissues swell and thick, enlarged
ankles result.

Child Health
Questions
CHILD'S TONSILS

CHILD'S TONSILS
QuestiOn-Recently I have
heard much discussion on the
question Of removing q child's
tOnsils. Can you tell wherein
the objection lies?
MRS. G. H.
Answer-The matter is a con-
troversial one that I would pre-
fer not discussing in this col
umn. The argument against
their removal, however, is based
on the theory that the tonsils
have a definite protective func-
ton. Some physicians claim
that a child after the tonsils
have been removed may be
cured of certain disorders but
is more apt to contract others.
The Washington times., 1934-01-08

regard the common cold lightly,
as just one of those things
children had to endure.
Cold Is Serious
Today the wise mother real
lies that a cold is serious. Not
only in itself but in the fact
that it is an indication that
the child'S resistance is low.
That the little body is open
to infection. That somewhere
their careful program is at
fault.
They are right. A cold is a
danger signal and one that the
intelligent parent should be
quick to recognize.
The treatment is, of course,
o matter that should be han
died by the child's own physi-
clan. But the mother can do
much to prevent the recurrence
of the trouble.
The alkaI-forming foods,
such as milk, fruits and vege-
tables, are essential in prepar-
ing the child to resist infec-
tion. Vitamin A (cod liver oil,
butter, egg yolk) further pro-
&ectS the little body against
Its enemies.
The modern mother already
will have talked the matter Of
diet over with the youngsters
doctor. But has she obeyed his
instructions to the letter?
= It may be that Junior doesn't
like cod liver oil Che should of
course, but sometimes he
doesn't) and she has given up
the struggle to make him take
It? Or maybe he doesn't care
for milk?
Fresh Air
II your youngster is subject
10 colds it would be well to
ask yourself a few qustions Of
this nature.
Ventilation of his sleeping
and living rooms is another
question that should be gone
into by the mother.
Hot, dry air is one of the
frequent causes of the common
cold. Probably the most health
9ul and practical method of
inSuring that the air in the
child'S rooms is sufficiently
moist is the very simple one of
keeping a window open, even if
only a little, and keeping the
temperature between 68 and 70
degrees.
Don't trust to your own judg-
ment in adjusting the tempera-
ture Of room. A thermometer
IS the only accurate test.
: Every room that the child
uses Cor grown-ups, too, for that
matter should be throughly
aired once or twice a day with
01l windows wide open no mat
ter how cold it is outside. The
cir that creepS in through
cracks in the doors and windows
Is not sufficient.
Infectious
# despite all precautions a
child does contract a cold he
should be kept away from other
children until all signs of the
disorder have vanished.
ALI colds are infectious.
Teach the child when coughing
or sneezing to cover his mouth
and nose and never to use an
other persons handkerchief.
At the first sign that a cold
has developed put the youngster
to bed. Twenty-four hours of
rest will often shorten the colds
duration and prevent certain of
its bad after effects.
Give the patient plenty of
water to drink and see that his
bowels are kept open. And call
Q doctor to see him. A cold
&hould never be left to ordinary
household treatment.

STORMY MEALTIME

Q.-Try as 1 can I can't help
our mealtime from being
stormy. I have three small
children and the meal usually
ends in punishment for all
three, bad temper for their
daddy and a near-nervOus
breakdown for me.
MRS. u. B.
Airy having the children
eat alone. Make a little game
of it. Ignore signs Of coming
storm. Praise them when they
eat correctly and pass over
minor faults with a casual
"I wouldn't do that" Don't
expect an unhappy child to
enjoy or digest his food prop
erly.

MILK MASK

Q.-SOme time ago read in
a magazine that powdered milk
could be made into an excellent
face mask. I procured some
powdered milk at my drug store
the other day, but find I have
lost the formula. Could you
tell me anything about this
mask?
A. B.
A.-The powdered milk face
mask is quite simple to make,
and is really most effectiI :.
First cleanse your skin thor
oughly with pure soap and tepid
water, and then with a good
cleansing cream. Remove this
cream and then smooth a bit Of
nourishing cream around your
eyes and mouth. Next, mix a
tablespoon or two of the pow
dered milk with enough colo
water to form a smooth, thick
paste. If your skin is oily, you
may use a good skin tonic in
stead Of the water.

SAVVAVSs
The story, as she told it to
me, is that although there are
about seven hundred women
pilots in this country, a mighty
number in some ways, there
were not enough to have
clothes designed especially for
them. Such garments as leather
jackets, coveralls and shirts
must be bought at mems stores.
Club Flying Clothes
This was distinct disadvan-
tage, as they could never be
found to fit.
A few things that were made
for women were done in rather
fanciful manner, without a
knowledge of flying.
So finally a club of femi-
nine pilots appointed a commit
tee to concoct some flying gar
ments, and have them made up.
Made Her Own Clothes
Amelia Earhart was a mem
ber of this committee. Work
ing on it reawakened her old
interest in sewing, for once
upon a time she had made her
own clothes.
From there, she went into
designing sports clothes for &C
tive women, and for women
who fly in their leisure hours.
Miss Earhart saw a need for
medium priced sportswear that
is really good. She realized
that women with unlimited
means could find anything they
wanted, but many women who
fly haven't so much money,
and they wanted smart things
too. So she insisted on good
cut, good fit, and fine finish
ing.
Interest in Aviation
Many things about the clothes
designed by Miss Earhart Sug-
gest aviation. She believes in
flying for women so completely
that she likes to think that
other women may become in
terested thror1.h wearing sug-
gestive clothes. But her ideas
take unobstrusive form.
Ball-bearing buckles and but
tons, buttons shaped like nuts,
and wing bolts on zippers are
about the limit of her aviation
themes in clothes. She makes
beautiful shirts out of parachute
silk, with parachute cord to trim
them.
Her leather garments seem the
most beautiful and practical to
me. Suede jackets are made
long enough, sometimes with a
peplum effect, as they will not
run up and be bulky around the
waist.
And there's a chamois skirt,
cut to fit so it will go either in
or out of your skirt, that de-
serves the childish term de
vine"
Zippers Everywhere
There are Upper pockets in
skirts of rough tweeds, and a
upper in the top of felt hat
so that it will pull further down
on your head if you want it to,
among her innovations. Dresses
are of smart terry-ribbed jersey,
or Of prints, one suggestive OF
wheels, and simply treated.
But to appreciate these
clothes, and to realize how prac-
tical, as well as smart, they are,
you must see them and try them
on for yourself. They are on
sale in a downtown store, fortu-
nately, and you can investigate
them personally.
For more information about
these clothes, write Miss Laville,
inclOsing Self-addressed, stamped
envelope, or telephone.

Of course wee Duncy was sur prised and startled when he real ixed that 1itle dolls had come to life, to join him on his ride. To his small auto they all clung, and then a little song was leung by two small dolls who climbed right up and stayed by Duncy's side.
 "Twodolls of orToy Land are we, and we're as happy as can be to have a dandy ride like this. It's lot and lots of fun. "We've been on shelves for days l and more, and all our little joints are sore. Theyl soon will be all right again, because of what you've done.
 "So, thanks. kind Duncy. You are kind. And, now, as long as you don't mind, we'll hop right off and let some other nice dolls ride with you"
 The riding kept up for a while and then old c naSati, twhsam and then old Santa, with a smile. said, "Hey there, Duncy. Come with me. There's much work we must do.

 So Duncy bid the dolls goodby, and to kind Santa said, "I'll try my best to be of some assistance It will be real sport"
 He found his little friends out side. Wee Scouty very loudly cried, "Oh, look at all the presents. There are toys of every sort"
 Then Santa's sack was opened wide, as he exclaimed, Just let things slide right into it. and l will see that they are safe and sound.
 ''To all the toy shops quickly run and this job shortly will be done." Real promptly all the Tinymitees were dashing all around.
