ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Constant for Five Years

Constant for Five Years
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 20 and have been in love
with the same man for the past
five years, but he doesn't seem
to consider me in any light but
that of a very good friend.
During all this time, I have
tried not to tell him how much
care for him, but I don't think
that I can hold that informa-
ton in, much longer. I haven't
really bothered with any other
man during these lonely five
years.
OF course, I have gone out
sometimes with others, but I
have been utterly indifferent to
them. Would it be wrong to
write him a letter and confess
my love? SINCERE.
No, it wouldn't be wrong"
but it would be highly injudici-
GUS, and a mistaken line to pur-
sue. It's very hard to get love
affair out of the doldrums when
one of the parties concerned
persists in regarding it as
friendship.
You'll have to use your
imagination and try something
less direct than writing that let
ter you have in mind, and I
should certainly advise you to
see other boys. plenty of them.
It's a great mistake to allow any
person to take you for granted.

Bathing in hard water is GER
tainly a major trial for Sensi-
tive or dry skin. Constantly
women ask me what to put in a
hard water bath to soften it and
to prevent their skin from be-
coming roughened or water
chapped.
AS you know, hard water con-
tains lime and certain other sub
stances that interfere with the
action of most soaps. There are
several fine hard water soaps on
the market, but if you are de-
voted to one particular bath
soap you will have to use some.
thing to soften the water. Borax
is commonly used; about two
tablespoonful to every gallon of
water.
But if you like to have the
water as high as the lobes of
your ears you will find borax as
costly to use as nicely prepared
water softener. Then, too, most
women seek luxury aid to
pleasant bathing-and we'll they
may. Nothing is more conducive
to poise than lazy, luxurious tub
bingS!
Just recently an English firm
has come forth with a prepara-
ton which so adequately takes
care of the hard water problem
The Washington times., 1934-05-11

that I urge you, to try it. It is
made Of cereals, such as oatmeal
and other understanding ingre-
dients, all so thoroughly pulver-
lied as to look like tiny snow
crystals. Just a handful in a gen.
erous tub of water and 10! your
bath is as soft as rain water
and beautifully scented to boot!
With this you may use any
toilet soap you desire, and your
skin is actually softened and
smoothed. But please do refrain
from additional bath essence.
The fresh tang of lavender in
this preparation is sufficient.
This long awaited bath pleas
ure comes to you IN an English
brentwood drum that can stand
repeated steamings and showers
without warping or becoming
soft. I lie in my tub, blissfully
satisfied, thinking of all the
things I can use that drum for
when it is empty!

Use Thought in
Arranging
Flowers
BY BETTY HANNA DAVIDSON

BY BETTY HANNA DAVIDSON
I do dislike the stereotyped
way in which many people ar
range flowers. I do not think
that they give enough time or
thought to this very important
part of the finishing touches of
their room which can be ruined
by the fact that some casual
person takes a beautiful box of
flowers and rams them into
unattractive vases any which
way.
Attractive Bowls
Feeling so strongly about this,
I have tried desperately to
escape the usual Shop-type of
containers and have instead, in
time, been able to collect an
attractive and unusual assort-
ment of bowls, vases, etc, such
as old celery bowls of various
kinds of glass, pressed, Water
ford and old crystal, square
Chinese vases odd in design,
very wide at the mouth and in
different colorS, vivid blues,
greens, etc. They help to bring
out a definite note in a one
tone room.
Old English ice buckets lend
themselves charmingly to the
arrangement of early Spring
flowers. The modern bud vases
and tall vases wide at the mouth
are useful for the long Stemmed
variety of flowers.
In a room done in chintz, my
idea is to use only one kind Of
flower at a time-Spring, all jon,
quils or yellow tulips; Summer,
peonieS in one tone, and so forth
on through the year.
In a French drawing--room of
more or less single tone the mix
lures are most effective-yellow
roses and Gala lilies, roses and
delpheniumS, buttercups and.
bachelor buttons and iris and
tulips.
subtle TOucneS
In English, Spanish and
italian rooms use more brilliant
and strong combinations, such
as yellow callas mixed with
purple iris, forsythia with white
roses, or if your room has red in
it, bowls of brilliant red roses
and white stock.
Remember to fill in, in Winter
with laurel and Autumn leaves
and in Spring and Summer take
advantage Of the heavenly
Towering bushes of which there
are so many.
In order to procure effect do
not think that great quantity is
the only essential. Subtle ar
rangement is the all important
factor. And, above all, do the ar
ranging yourself with great care
and thought.

home, but they are not her
standbys for weekends or short
trips anywhere.
You can provide for many
emergencies by taking along a
tiny electric iron, not too heavy
in your luggage, and capable Of
pressing out the wrinkles Of
travel. The resourceful woman
can always find place to use
it, even if it has to be on, the
floor on a stack of newspapers
and couple of towels.
The smart woman also has
lingerie which she can wash out
herself in an odd moment, or
at night. She carries only a
few pairs of stockings, and
keeps them fresh herself. If she
is visiting long she will have to
have laundry done, but if her
visit is short, her hostess will
appreciate her taking care of
her own clothes, and not de-
manding too much from the
maid or maids.

When boys and girls are in

more seriously you take it, the
less likely he will be to come
back to you. This, on the prin-
ciple that you needn't worry
about that which you already
have.
OF course. if the girl is in
three classes with the boy, and
you're only in one, that gives
her an edge over you. But, my
dear child, when do you young

if you're always worrying over
your love affairs?

Hard and fast rules may not
be the right way to speak of
the things I'm about to say,
but they are things that all
travel-wise people know and
follow. Such people know how
to go places easily with a
minimum of baggage, how to
arrive with clothes in good
condition, so they can put them
on at once or almost at once,
and how to make a wardrobe
last through a visit without
worrying the hostess or the
maids for. extra laundry done,
or a great amount of pressing.
RuffleS at Home
First and foremost is the
necessity of leaving at home
all the articles which do not
pack easily. Organdie frocks
and blouses, crisp linens and
fluffy ruffles of all kinds are
unsuitable unless you have no
limits on the money you intend
to spend for pressing, or you
have a maid and voluminous
baggage to take care of your
clothes. Likewise huge and
perishable cartwheel hats, extra
shoes and sports accessories
need space and care.
The clothes that arrive in
good shape and give you good
service are tweeds and knitS
for Sportswear, with meshy
cottonS and Seersuckers for
lighter weight sports a. t e.
Laces for day clothes, after
noon and evening are perfect,
for they require practically no
attention, and come right out
of a suitcase looking we'll. Good
quality net has the same happy
faculty, and will be a joy to
you in clothes for any time of
day. Silk crepes and chiffon
give good service if they can
have an occasional pressing.
Plan for Travelling
The smart woman who has
any possible expectation of
travelling buys at least enough
clothes of this type to see her
through her proposed trips.
She may have her linens, Or

Coarse Pores
- CLA1LA.


Dear Miss Shelby:
Would you be so kind as to
advise me on treatments for
eye wrinkles, lines, and coarse
skin. Sincerely, PC.
Dear Miss P. c.:
In treating coarse pores be
careful to keep the skin i'm
maculately clean; for clean
pores automatically close.
Cleanse thoroughly at bedtime,
using a mild soap, warm water
and a complexion brush, rims
ing well in warm. then cold
water. Follow with an estrln-
gent-mild if your skin is SEN
Sitive or dry. Then pat on a
little cream but do not leave
on porous parts such as rose
and chin. During the day,
cleanse your skin as often as
you renew your makeup, using
cream, liquid cleanser or skin
freshener.
At bedtime or whenever you
have time, give your eyes spe-
cial treatment. Smooth cream
about the eyes gently, with a
circular movement from inner
upper corners under eyes to
nose. Be very careful not to
stretch the delicate tissues. Then
pat all about the eyes with
finger tips. Wiring pads of alb
sorbent cotton from very cold
water, drench with witch hazel,
place over eyes and relax.

which is so simple and so eff

to you with the highest recon-

Boil one quart of the least
expensive domestic red wine for
three minutes with a branch of
rosemary in it. Let it cool. re-

really wonderful as a nerve

Also Madame Soriano was
good enough to give me several
excellent recipes for unusual
dishes. She points out that they
are mainly concerned with rice,
but that the rice has to be done
properly to insure complete sue

1t seems to be a highly pro-
pitious time to give some atten.
ton to a long forgotten breed
of dog-the pug, which, it is
said by several leading authori-
ties is coming back into style.
There is in existence a popu-
lar opinion that this interest
ing breed of toy dog had its
origin through the cross of
bulldog on some smaller breed.
This supposition is incorrect.
The pug is a very old breed
and shares with the greyhound
the honors of long descent. 1t
is probable that the pug
originated in China, a land
whose dogs are characterized
by short noses and curled tails.
Old Breed
The Dutch, through their
East Indian Trading Company,
brought these dogs to Holland,
and later they came to England,
where they were known for a
time as Dutch pugs.
About the middle of the last
century two enthusiasts, Lady
de Willoughby and a Mr.. Nor.
rison established kennels in
England, and both succeeded in
creating an extraordinary vogue.
The stock from their respective
kennels presented distinct char.
acteristics and were known
accordingly.
The Willoughby pugs were
silver fawn, with very black
marks and distinct tracingS.
The MorrisonS were of a brighter
golden fawn. The two strains
have since been crossed so many
times that these characteristics
have been lost.
The black pug is a more re-
cent production, and appeared
about 1886, and has since di-
vided popularity with the fawns.
They are all alike in everything
but color.
Alert and Neat
For many years the pug was
the more fashionable of pet dogs,
but later he resigned that posi-
ton to the spaniel and some
of the newer breeds. Now, how
ever, the enthusiasm for pugs
is being revived in many sec.
tions.
Pugs are not lacking in intelli-
gence, as is sometimes supposed,
but are, on the contrary. highly
intelligent, wide awake and
alert. prompt to give warning Of
the approach Of strangers.
They make extremely inter.
esting companions. Their nat.
ural cleanliness and the slight
care necessary to keep them in
perfect condition go far to rec
ommend them as house pets.
