Cat Requires a
Varied Diet
BY LIZ HUME

We have just received a letter
from Mrs. Wilton Lee Hall in
regard to her Persian cat, Cob
lin, and it has occurred to us
that a few words on the feeding
of cats would rot be remiSs.
Cats. as you probably know,
present much more difficult
problems than dogs when it
comes to their diet. They are
exceedingly delicate.
Cats need regular meals. Two
good meals a day is not too
much. They should have plenty
of fresh drinking water always
within reach. Milk is good for
them, but it does not take the
place of water or of food, and
some cats will not touch it.
Individualistic
A cat should have varied
diet, as far as possible; but as
they are very individualistic in
their tastes and will not eat
what they do not like, you must
be guided more or less by their
inclination. Meat is a necessity
to them. They usually prefer it
raw and finely chopped, except
liver, which should be lightly
grilled.
Fish must be cooked and all
the bones removed. Chicken
bones also are dangerous. A
cat needs fresh meat or fish
every day and green vegetables
are good if they will eat them,
but potatoes should be avoided.
For a Change
They usually like asparagus,
beetS, and sweet corn; some
times tomatoes and cabbage.
Cats will often eat plain dry
bread or cake in preference to
bread and milk. Any cereal is
good for them in moderation.
Sardines or canned salmon
are good for a change if YOU
cannot get fresh fish-and
cats seem to do we'll on many
of the prepared dog rations, al
ternated with other foods. 1t
Is useless to put down just any
kind Of scraps for a cat to eat.

There are some products tnaG

Every sensible beauty prefers

when it is as trim and slim and
elegant as this enameled affair,
she adores it. I can tell you
it is internationally liked, for

summer, and many women took
it from my hand to fondle and
praise it. And when I displayed
a matching lipstick. which had
as many merits as the compact,
they were tongue-tied!
These two, and a box of ex-
cellent face powder, comprise the
set. Don't imagine a paper con.

This powder is in an enameled
box that matches in design and
color the lipstick and compact.
And such glorious colors Of
enamel from which to make
your choice! Each nicely con-
trasted with symbol of gold

My advice to men who plan
to buy this set is to discover the
shade of powder and lipstick the
wife or lady-love uses. Or if it
is to be a complete surprise, tell
her that she may exchange the
set at the store in which you
made the purchase--that is, if
the salesgirl was too rushed to

A man may think he knows

that meringue will emerge from

First Date
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Will you please tell me the
proper thing to say when a
young man takes you home
after a party besides thanking
him for the lovely evening you
just had? It is your first date
with him and you would like
to have him call on you again.
S.
There isn't any reason why
a girl shouldn't be forthrightly
friendly and hospitable and in
vite the man to come to see
her in her home.
If the young man invited you
to go to the party. you might
say, THANK you for such a
happy time this evening. I'd
love to have you come to see
me some time soon-Will you?"
If he did not take you to the
party, you would say, THANK
you so much for coming home
with me-and now that you
know where I live, do come to
see me sometime"

my girl began pulling movie
stuff on me. She began acting
up like Greta Carlo, Marlene
Dietrich, and pulled a cheSty
rumble like Ethel Barrymore,
when she could remember. I
got good and sick of this bust
ness.
Her folks are wild with me
because the girl wants to go on
the stage. She talks of nothing
but a career. JUST BILL.
If this young lady will go the
rounds of the theatrical agen-
cies and broadcasting studios
and get the "loW-down" on this
business of walking off with a
career, I believe her alphabetical

to her, if She can get it back.

Liquid Powder Over Pimples?
Dear Miss Shelby:
Is it permissible to use a
liquid powder as a base for
cosmetics when the face is
covered with pimples? Please
advise me. Sincerely, B. S.
Dear Miss B. S.:
If the pimples are not too
large or red, they can be COW
cred by liquid powder applied
before you put on your make
up. Warm soap and water will
remove liquid powder.
I would advise you to use a
Inedicated or sulphur soap and
a face brush wher washing
your face. AfterWard apply an
astringent or some eau Gle
cologne. This will contract the
pores and also have an anti
septic effect on the pimples.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
My husband and I were mar
ried secretly last December. My
mother knows now and wants to
send out announcement cards to
friends and relatives that are
very far away. Is it too late to
send them out? BRIDE.
There isn't any rule about
this. The bride and her family
must decide what they prefer to
do about sending out wedding
announcements at this late date.
It has always seemed to me,
however, a bit illogical, that
when a couple are secretly mar
ried, to avoid all details Of eti-
quette and social forms, such
as the sending of marriage an
nouncements, they should send
them after all, later than it
would seem is appropriate.

Crusaders of Holy Cross spotted a
fighting Harvard team six points and
then scored four touchdowns to beat
the Crimson, 26 to 6, before a crowd
of 10000 in the Harvard Stadium to-
day.
Once in the final minute Of the

down passes to his teammates. The
first one travelled 27 yards in the air,
while the others were even longer,
his final effort sailing As yards into
the waiting arms of Walter Jariak
in the Harvard end zone.
To make the route complete,
young sophomore halfback, Vim
Dougherty, from Scranton, Pa, threw
a 4O-yard pass, which John NC
Cam, a reserve end. caught in the
end zone for another Purple score
with only seconds remaining to play.
While the Crusaders were taking
their time getting organized, Harvard
uncovered surprising offense in the
first period, twice marching deep into
Holy Cross territory and putting over
a touchdown on their second drive
of 81 yards, which was completed in
six plays.
A Litman-to-J Jackson pass. good for
20 yards, put the Crimson on the
