When Manners
AreC0rreCt
By MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I am giving my boy friend
a picture of myself for his
birthday, and I would like to
autograph it in some way. Can
you help me? eve are en-
gaged.) =.
There are three ways of auto
graphing a photograph. The
first way is not to autograph
it at all-and if that doesn't
sound like a "bull" I don't
know what would! But in
reality what this non-auto-
graphed photograph charm
ingly indicates is that we leave
the photograph to speak for
ITSELF" for the receiver to
write in the message that he
or she wishes to read in the
photograph.
The second way Of auto
graphing a photograph is
rather like this: the signing
of the two names only, so CnaC
again the receiver is given the
opportunity of reading in the
message she or he wishes to.
"To Tom, from Mary" may be
given a world of meaning by
the mere writing of the names
in a loved handwriting.
The third way is to write q
message that perhaps would
not be at all necessary for the
receiver to be assured Of, and
that might seem a bit over
done to the people who per.
chance may see the photograph
and read its inscription. This
is for each one Of us to de-
eide, for it's a personal and
intimate question. If you feel
that it's necessary write With
love-" or with dearest love-"

"A IL u 81,
with the renaissance of beauty
at low cost, women have become
more conscious of the beauty
in their homes, and have gone
to great lengths to have more Of
it. They started first with fur
niture, as is logical. Now they
are ready for their small acces-
Sories.
This trend has been obvious
for some time, and has taken a
new lease on life this fall, with
the general redecorating and re-
furnishing of homes. More
women than usual have done
something drastic, such as
changing the whole decorative
scheme, or of changing the
whole period influence OF the
house, from one room to all, &C.
cording to how much they
could afford to do.
This affords a marvellous op'
portunity for their friends TO
give them welcome Christmas
gifts. For no matter how small
and how humble the home, or
how large and expensive, there
are always a few needed things,

Hands Require
Faithful
Care
By JULIET SHELBY

Most girls and women get
a professional manicure once
a week. But few of us, with
present beauty budgets, can
afford to 60 tripping into a
salon more frequently. So
the daily touching-up of our
nails must be done at home.
And nails do need daily care
if you want them to look immac-
u1ately groomed and have your
hands graceful with that care
less assurance of being well
kept!
You can do more in shaping
and beautifying your nails than
any manicurist you visit but
once a week. And with a COM
plete manicuring set at hand, it
takes only a few minutes each
day.
The hand massage is import

the day-after washing your

Pet Wre-Hair
Gets Into
Fights
BY LIZ HUME

We have had a lot of ar
guments in the Getty
Room" of this newspaper
but never had we wit
messed an out and out fight
and a dog fight at that
there.
When Hazel Edgar brought
her brace of wire-haired fox
terriers in to be photo
graphed, it was too much
for the scottie belonging to
our Unknown sport writer,
Harry Costello.
The bout was something to
witness. The real aggressor in
the matter was "Mobey Dick of
Ruffcote," a fighting wire-hair
who had come here with his
mother, Twinkle Star of Ruff
cote"-both in dogdom's social
register. the American Kennel
Club.
A Draw
After the fight was stopped
a draw it was-Mobey still felt
irritated to the extent of tear
ing up one of two Photographic
plates, a stunt which was very
naturally not cheered in the
Photographic department.
Mobey'S mistress tells us that
he thinks nothing of picking up
bricks in the strickland carry
ing them around gleefully in his
mouth: Just a quiet little thing
to have around the house.
AS for Twinkle Star-or
"Twinky"-She is not the hoy
denish type-but goes in for
the intellectual role. The Rus
sian language she toys with
most delightfully."-. And when
her mistress shouts mocha
she knows she is supposed to
catch flies-but when the
phrase is "Gwas Podi"-she
knows her position at court is
Shaky.
One Hate
"Twinky" is a gentle little
thing-she has only one hate,
but that is a vicious one-and
one which we cannot forgive.
She loathes newspapers-and
tears them apart in an instant.
We hope this story will please
her to the extent that The
washington Times remains un-
touched in her home. She is
Z years old, and should know
better.

and the nails fabricated; and
you avoid rough, hard cuticle
and brittle nails.
So when a new man1curing
set includes jar Of hand cream
and a tube of nail cream, I con-

This set contains everything
that is needed to keep your
hands perfectly groomed and
dressed up.
Besides the two creams I men,
toned, there are two liquid pol
ishes, a light tint for day and a
darker one for evening, a bottle
Of new oily polish remover,
emery boards, orange stick and
cuticle scissors.
This intelligent collection Of
hand beauty aids is backed in a
miniature strap-handled French
hat box of smart black lizard, or
shiny blue or red patent leather
with a pure white lining that re-
sembles kid. It's extra chic and
really useful. Just right for
home use or travel.

Matrimony School

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Why shouldn't girls look upon
office life as an opportunity?
We put in the best years OF our
lives in subordinate positions.
Offen we do the work for
which the boss draws the salary.
And r we can wangle a few
dinners, shows, and good times
out of the men, who work under
the same roof with us, why
shouldn't we?
Some people seem to think
that an office should be con-
Quoted like a convent school

toes with downcast eyes, and
speaking in whipers. Perhaps
they don't act that way in con-
vents, but I've heard they do.
AS to matrimony-why not?
Is there any place in the world
where you can learn more about
a mans disposition, good and
bad, than in an office?
If you ask me, I think an
office is a swell school for
matrimony. MIRANDA"

Rules

Good ideas about clothes

the description of two smart
costumes worn by Adie

turned to her home in Plain

tweed coat, made Norfolk
jacket style, and a very dark
brown tweed skirt, with
pleats.
Her hat Of brown felt is Of ,
the Dobbs type, turned I'D in
back and down in front, her
scarf Of brown tie silk, with q
light dot in tits pinned at the
neck with a riding crop pin
and her heavy brogueS with
tongues are made of service
leather-and if the latter term
doesn't mean anything to you,
it is the wrong side of the
leather, resembling suede, only
much heavier.
The other costume we have
in mind is very rough dark gray
wool-made into a frock with .
flared skirt with large tuckS Of
the material running up the
arm. With this Adie wears q
little Krimme scarf and an
off-the-face hat of the same
material as her dress.

A good disguise to make the

party, is to buy one Of the new

could be worn such jabot in

been much exploited n d
favored this past year, and are
growing in popularity, we chose
some Empire pieces to show to-
day. They will be the final
note of beauty in a room that
tends toward the Empire, but
they can also be used with
Directoire or Regency, and in
fact will probably do nicely in
almost any neo-classic home.
White with gold makes these
lovely pieces. On the left is
the rose jar of tradition, which
can be used merely as an orna-
ment, if you're not drying rose
leaves, or can be used as a
candy jar.
In the center is an urn, clas-
sic in line and very beautiful.
On the right is the horn Of
plenty, beautiful in many mate
rails, and in several shapes.
These pieces are moderately
priced, 1895 for the rose jar;
$4.95 for the urn. and $3.50 for
the horn of plenty. If you
prefer them in dead white,
which is both modern and old,
you can find similar pieces, at
equally low prices, or lower.
Note on Fashions
Lest we forget our readers
entirely who have no homes,
or problems with them, let's say
a word on the period influence
in dress. One way it mani
tests itself is in picture" gowns,
or picture details on simple
frocks. Big lace collars of the
type one sees in portraits by Van
Dyck are particularly smart
and are shown by local stores.
Add one to your velvet gown
for a romantic look.
For fashion or home furnish
ing information, write Miss
Laville at The Times, enclosing

Takes Them Out


Dear Miss Fairfax:
I used to work for a man, an
insurance agent, who was al
ways inviting me to his church.
He had a pretty wife and two
children, and would call for me,
with his wife and children, to go
to socials, and to dinners at the
church, and it got terribly EN-.
baTasSing for me.
I felt as if his wife thought I
was coming between them, and
I never could think up an excuse
quickly enough to get out Of 60
ing.
His wife has since died, and I
stopped accepting the invita-
lions. And he never remarked,
but takes them" all out.

He's not mine, but he's in
the same department, and
must have a case on his sec"

They go out together at lunch

every evening in his car. We've
all seen that ourselves, because
he parks the car just outside
the window. He goes out first,
and then she follows soon
afterwards.
But he's married and has

Dear Miss Fairfax:
AS a man who has employed
many girls during long bust
ness career, please let me say a
word for them. I have had ex-
cellent service always from
young women.
I attribute this to the fact
that I am a good picker. I
never employ a girl who looks
as if she had just come from
the stage of a vaudeville show,
who has the insinuating move
ments of May West, or who
tries to flirt with me when she
applies for a job.
To care and selection I at
tribute an excellent office force.
