Mans Notes

written Exclusively for The
Washington TinleS)
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have just become engaged
to a very fine young man in
this city. Now for more than
six months I have had lots Of
fun corresponding with a young
man from another State and I
want to know if it is proper for
me to continue this correspond
ence now that I am engaged.
I should like to keep on, as
his letters are extremely inter-
esting and I enjoy them enor.
mously. Also how long do you
think an engagement should be.
K. H. s.
The length of an engagement
depends entirely upon the
wishes Of the parties concerned
and their financial ability to
assume the obligations of mar
riage.
The square thing to do about
this correspondence, Of which
you write me, is to tell the
friend you are engaged. If he
cares to continue writing his
interesting letters it will then
be up to him.
Christmas His Waterloo
Dear Miss Fairfax:
We have been engaged for
over two years and I bought
her anything she wanted. I
gave her a ring, a wrist watch
and a cedar chest. And this
Christmas, hoping we would be
married soon, I gave her
silver tea set.
Now she finds fault with me
all the time, and says she could
marry someone else who would
be able to do much more for
her. This makes me very un-
happy. Would you advise me
to drop her? EDWARD.
You have, no doubt, been
entirely too generous to this
critical young lady. Now is the
time to show a little spirit on
your own behalf.
Don't buy her anything at all
for a while, and tell her if that
is the way she feels, perhaps
she would like to be free. If
you can't please her now before
you are married, there is not
much likelihood Of doing 1t
afterwards,

If the ushers are busy, the
man may find his own seats,
leading the way down the aisle,
then standing aside to let his
companion enter first. The
woman takes the inside seat.
If the newcomers must pass
before people already seated,
they should face the stage in
doing so. It helps to soften the
inconvenience caused if they
say I'm sorry!" as they go
along. If those seated rise to

means say Thank you very

Such rules of good manners

Marion Nixon
Uses Baby
Soap
BY JULIET SHELBY

OF all the stars in Holly.
wood, I think Marion Nixon
has the loveliest skin, for it
has the transparency that few
girls retain after they pass is.
I sat in admiration of its tone
and beautiful satinlike quality;
had heard of compilations
like that, but it was the first
time l ever had seen one.
Marion, how do you care
for your Skin?" 1 asked. Have
you some secret formula, or
are you just 1852"
She laughed and was
pleased, as any girl would be.
mo-" she said, Il wash it with
a baby soap and use a little
cold cream-that's all. And
I'm a grownup married womanI"
And it is true-she uses soap
on her skin and rinses it thor
oughly with warm water and
then cold water. After patting
it lightly to stimulate circula-
ton, she applies a little pure
cold cream to protect it from
the dry climate of California.
But, girls, Miss Nixon believes
that health makes beauty, and
she drinks quantities of milk.
Perhaps that is the secret of
her beauty. Or perhaps it is her
wise selection of cosmetics and
the care she uses to keep her
beautiful complexion immacu-
lately clean. She never hops
into bed with makeup on her
face; she never rushes into a
dressing room to slap more
powder and rouge on her skin
without first cleansing her face.
If you would have a lovely,
unblemished skin, you must
first concentrate on keeping it
clean. Most skins can stand
soap and water washings, that
is, if you select a pure, mild
soap. Perhaps you have found
the perfect soap, but if you
haven't, let me give you the
name of the baby soap which
Marion Nixon likes. If yM
haven't heard of it, it is posi-
BILE that your mother will tell
The Washington times., 1935-01-09

you that she used it on you
when you we're a babe in arms.
If youthful, irresistible Marion
believes in soap and water, then
I'll advocate strongly such a
skin treatment! \

Funny stories are still rolling
in about New Year parties, and
although it seems a little like
ancient hiStOry-the one con-
cerning Johnnie wheeler and
Edward Becker may be told, we
think, at any time.
They had Just returned to
town on New Year Day-at 9
o'clock in the mOrning-frOm
the Spilman party at the North
Wales Club.
Johnnie was dressed as Harpo
Marx and Eddie had borrowed
one of the Wheelers' very exotic
boxer costumes for the event.
Johnnie and his friend saun-
tered gayly in front Of the Sec
retary of the Navy's house.
there to find the Marine band
according New Year honors to
the Navy Chief and Mrs. Swan
son. But neither one was on
hand for the serenade.
No gallery, no fun, thought
the band-and so Johnnie came
along just in time to supply the
necessary inspiration. Both
boys were regaled with their
favorite tunes, and staged
little show for the benefit of all
except the Secretary and
Mrs. Swanson, who never did
turn up.

Each fascinating little face
is round, healthily tinted, vel
vet7smooth. Plump arms,
hands with perfect tiny finger
nails, wave wildly. Fat, dim
pied legs thrust themselves
into the air.
On the five round heads
the dark hair is growing
thicker and longer daily. The
ten big dark blue eyes, with
the amazing long dark eye
lashes, brightly follow every
movement around them. The
five rosebud mouths crinkle in
gay little grins. The five
bodies move freely and vigor-
ously in their cotton-flannel
frocks, under their colorful
patchwork quilts.
Five EnCOreS
Perfectly normal, charming
infants they seem in every
way-with a charm amazingly
intensified by the fact that
it has five encores! Even to
a doctors X-ray eyes they seem
normal in every way except
one-they still are under
weight for their chronological
age Of 6 months.
This condition I attribute to
the fact that, physically speak
ing, they are only four months
old, since they were seven
months children. I consider
that the first two months OF
their lives were really time
out" since these weeks should
have been spent in the quiet
warmth and darkness of the
world Of the unborn.
All five were "blue" babies
cyanotic is the medical term.
Their breathing apparatus had
not had time to develop
properly, and it frequently
came near failing them al
together. That they did not,
literally draw their last gasps
during the first week of their
lives is owing to the happy
inspiration and prompt action
of my brother, DR.. William A.
Dafoe of the Department of
Obstetrics and Gynecology at
the University of Toronto.
Brother Aids
From that first week, thanks
to him, we gave those babies
what might be called Oxygen
cocktails" More scientifically,
the treatment consisted of
inhalations of oxygen 95 per
cent and carbon dioxide S per
cent, according to a technique
perfected during the World
War by Professor Yandell
Henderson and Professor How
ard w. Haggard of Yale.
Professor Henderson himself
has described this treatment as
"the latest and most effective
means of keeping premature
babies alive" AS the result of
my brilliant younger brothers
quick wit in making the sug-
gestion and putting it into ef-
feet, the carbon dioxide and
oxygen were offered to the
The Washington times., 1935-01-09

babies at varying intervals, or
as often as required, for nearly
three months.
The procedure was most
valuable, for the poor little
mites were in desperate need of
stimulation to arouse them out
of their attacks of Suffocation.
InSuperable Odds
I feel it only just to repeat
that my brothers cooperation,
in the day-and-night struggle to
save the Dionne quintuplets
against almost insuperable
odds, was one of the greatest
factors in the success which
seems happily to have crowned
all our efforts up to the pres
ent time.
Since the first week, I have
been in touch with him continu-
ously, either personally or by
telephone. 1 owe much to him
for advice in regard to pro-
fessional ethics, relations with
the press, promoters and the
general public.
He has collaborated with me
in the preparation of graphs,
lantern slides, movie reels and
all my reports. All of this is
what he calls "gingerbread,"
but I know the work that it
has involved, and I also realize
what this help has meant to
me.

AT The Dance
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I would like your advice as to
what is correct to say to ones
escort at dance when another
man asks to dance with you, or
should a girl dance only with
her escort? o.
BY no means should a girl
dance only with her escort
unless they both wish to be this
exclusive. A man comes to ask
q girl for a dance. After he has
asked her and she has accepted
he turns to her escort and says,
do you mind?"
AS they start to leave, the
girl says to her escort, will
you excuse me, please" This
may sound a bit Stilted, but. as
It is said, it is simple and
gracious.

while Vitamin G, the "anti-

from getting scurvy, we
need it also for general good
