the following notes in the
beauty world:

use an old smooth pumice). .

you probably know, but it is
often forgotten.

world with q pair Of alluring

them a nice smooth appearance.
Hair Fads
A streak of gray across the
hair is among the latest fads.
It looks natural, but is really a
strip of transformation. Luc-
retia Bori, Metropolitan Opera
star, who always adopts the
very smartest fashions, had
such a streak across her hair
like a tiara when she sang here
last week at the fashionable
Sulgrave Club.
We are just catching up with
Paris on graduations of color in
the hair. For example if you
have auburn hair, you might
have the crests of the waves in
your hair made blonde. This
sounds like a poor job of bleach
ing, but done cleverly, the effect
is arreSting.
Mrs. Elizabeth w. du Pont
carried out this idea by having
one blonde streak in her dark
hair. She was way ahead Of the
fad in this country when she
visited Washington last fall,
after spending several months
abroad.

By LIZ HUME

I must pause a minute to give
myself several well-deserved
pats-right on the back! AS I
predicted some weeks ago, the
tiara fad is on the wane. Now
one of our smartest fashion
periodicals appears with the
following statement:
Paris still talks of diadems,
but New York has practically
rung their death-knell. They
popped up like mushrooms over
night, but smart Americans hate
too see themselves duplicated"
There is really nothing as
satisfying to the ego of a beauty
editor-or to any editor for that
matter, as having prediction
come true.
Lighter Polish
Another change I limited at
several weeks ago was the in
creasing demand for light nail
polishes where the darker red
ones had enjoyed such popular
ity, the reason being that deep

Babies Thrive on
Pettins and
Rocking
BY MARTHA WINSLOW

Recently Miss Matte Gibson.
superintendent of the Children's
Hospital, told me that she had
rocking chairs in every ward
and room in her hospital and
that her nurses had instruc-
tionS to rock the babies.
Miss Gibson is a grand per.
son and there is very little
about babies and children she
doesn't know.
Need "SpOiIing"
So I was especially interested
when, in the face of all modern
theories of child care, she said;
"ROck 'em and cuddle 'em".
The "let them alone to. cry
until they stop" idea is, accord
ing to Miss Gibson, out Of
date. Babies, she believes, need
a bit of spelling.
After years of experience with
sick and convalescing children
she has found that old-fash-
ioned petting is good medicine.
In discussing the subject with
me she told me that she al.
ways advised parents of her
little ward patients to send
them out to the Children's
Country Home during GONZALES
ence. Because, she said, the
attendents at the home rocked
them to sleep and picked them
up when they cried. At home
their mothers were either too
modern to do so or too busy.
Grand Feeling
Her theories lifted q great
weight from my conscience.
Just between us mothers I had
always rocked my babies. I
did it in the face Of friends
and relatives warnings that I
was spelling them. 1t was a
grand feeling to discover that
I had been right all the time.
To be honest, I rocked mine
because 1 enjoyed doing it.
It was just a joy to have a
downy little head cuddled down
against my shoulder and to
watch a pair of blue eyes grow
drowsier and drowSier. Any
mother who hasn't rocked her
babies has missed part of the
fun.
A friend of mine had a
youngster who absolutely re-
fused to be rocked. She wanted
to be put down in her little
crib and allowed to go to sleep
undisturbed.
Naturally, a mother must use
intelligence in handing out her
pettings. But then a mother
needs intelligence to properly
bring up children anyway.

Said No But Now
She Would
Accept
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Dear Miss Fairfax:
About a year ago I met a
man nine years my senior. We
went together for about five
months, during which he pro-
posed to me several times.
However, I was not sure that
I was in love with him, and
refused him repeatedly. He
finally just quit calling on me.
I hadn't seen him since,
until recently, when he again
came to see me. We have had
three or four dates, and now
he is growing Indifferent again.
While I wasn't seeing him I
found that I really love him,
and now I would marry him
without a moments hesitation.
I know that at least he was at
one time very much in love
with me. What can I do about
it?
I am 20 years old and would
love to marry a man as fine
as this one, and settle down
to raise family while I am
yet young. R. L. D.
Yours is the old experience
of not realizing blessings till
they take flight. And there
really isn't much to do in the
case of these flown blessings,
but to bide your time and wait.
You might let him know that
your feelings toward him have
changed but, my dear girl, this
information must be conveyed
with the delicate art Of an
Eleanora Duse.
Went Back to His Fiancee
Dear Miss Fairfax:
The boy, in whom I'm in
interested, and who asked me to
go STEADY" had previously been
going with q girl, to whom he
had been engaged but just a
week or so before he commenced
going with me, the engagement
was broken.
A few nights ago, he and
had a date. He was two hours
late, and as he lives only few
doors from my house, I de-
cided to see if he was anywhere
around. Just as I was within
two hundred feet Of his house,
he walked out with another
girls arm linked through his. It
was his former fiancee. He saw
me, but did not show any signs
Of being acquainted with me.
AS I care for this boy tremen-
dously, it hurt me very much to
see him act in this manner. Do
you think I should continue my
friendship with this boy? Do
you think he cares for me, or is
he going around with me just
for a lark?
ED.
Go back to a boy who gives
you the cut direct, when he was
out with his old fiancee? Never!
Where is your pride, my dear
girl. Just take your acquaint-
ance with him as a lark, the
same way as he seems to regard
his little affair with you.

Suits Are Settinq
Spring Style
Pace
BY WILMA LAVILLE

We all agree that it's a
spring of suits, suits, and more
suits. Tweeds have been lead
ing so far, and may continue
to lead. probably will. But I
for one have been waiting for
the navy suits that were bound
to come.
Why not? It's a navy sea-
son, and a suit season. They
go hand in glove. And so at
last the navy suits are here.
A Navy Season
The first versions we find
are in junior sizes, pert little
things for slim girls. But
those Of you who want some
thing more dignified needn't
despair, for yours will be along
any day now.
Schiaparelli Idea
AS usual, we must attribute
these first smart suits to
Schiaparelli. She seems to be
dominating the entire center
Of the fashion stage this sea-
son, as her ideas become more
and more popular.
I believe more of her models
have been imported for copy
ing than those of any other
designer. And every woman
who goes to Paris, comes back
with at least one Schiaparelli
garment in her trunk.
Youthful Lines
Youth is the idea behind her
clothes, which is probably why
they are so popular. Her lines
seem to suggest slimnesS and
animation, even when they are
worn by older people.
Her suits and topcoatS are
particularly good this season,
and the windblown silhouette
is merely one of her triumphs.
OF Navy Twill
But to get to the suits we've
pictured they are of navy
twill, a good old favorite, and
excellent for spring. On the left
is a clever little jacket and skirt
with most of the newness in the
jacket. The caScaded revers are
a Schiaparelli idea, and white
pique is put under the collar
to accent it.
The other suit has a wind
blown line, blown straight to
the front. This is called the
guardsman flare in some of her
newer suits. It has a double col
lar, one of the navy cloth, one
of white pique. These suits are
each priced $22.75, and come in
Junior sizes, though misses can
wear them too, if they're not
too large.
Sailors Are Smart
Breton sailors are worn with
both suits, and they go with
them perfectly. The all navy
sailor is of felt, and is S.. The
navy and white sailor is Of
straw cloth, and is $3.50 .
and worth every penny of it
when you see the line.
For the name of the store
showing these suits, write Miss
LaviIle enclosing SeIf-addresSed,
stamped envelope, or telephone
her at District 1000.

Two can conquer every foe,
All of hardship, all of care,
Two can look beyond the clouds
Finding star-gleams there.
Two can give each other aid,
Comfort, Succor in distress,
With a gentle clasp of hand,
With their eyes careSS.
Two can suffer, two can share
Much Of hardship, much Of

Yet their woes will drop away
Like a withered leaf.
One is in a sorry plight
Though he tread Earth's love-

Two can make a paradise

Sympathy
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

years. Incidentally he is my
superintendent and employer.
His sister, whom I have never
met, is quite Ill and may not
recover.
Should I just send my card
In case of death, write a per-
sonal note, or go in person and
leave my card? Would flowers
be unnecessary or be a kind
expression of sympathy? A.
Since you have never met
the sister, I think that if you
merely send your card, with
Deepest sympathy" written on

To write a note Of sympathy
