one is bit more restrained and on
their party behavior" Large re-
ceptions and teas are, Of course. too
crowded for more than a haSty
greeting and farewell-but the 5
o'clock tea hour eXerts its witching
charm over all present, and produces
congeniality il its highest and best
sense.
Tea is aot a difficult affair for
the hostess, therefore she may enjoy
1t also. But she must be careful in
her initial planning and ordering, so
that everything is perfect and will
run smoothly from start to finish. A
casually arranged tea table which
gives the impression of being thrown
together" spoils the general effect,
and the same thing holds true of
food that has been carelessly selected.
If you attend to the matter yourself,
you will naturally take great pains
but if you. leave it to the maid, be
sure that she is so thoroughly trained
in the tea-nour ritual that she will
make no errors of either omission or
commission.
TN SETTING the stage for the oc-
casion, there are several important
points to be borne in mind.
The tea table should be fairly
large, as small one cannot hold all
the necessary equipment, and little
ones have TO be added here and
there, causing a confused look and
getting in the way A good, sturdy
card table Is en- excellent solution,
and, if you like low table, saw a
few inches of its legs, keeping it just
for use at tea time.
A really fine tea cloth is always
q good investment, as with proper
care and laundering it will last for
years, and delicate lace and embroid-
cry add much to the grace and dignity
OF the general setting. There are
pale-colored cloths, with napkins to
match. of cobweb-fine linen, hand
drawn and lace-edeed. Ivory-white
lace, exquisite needlework on sheer
white material is always in good taste
only. whatever you choose, De sure
that it is sheer and fine. Coarse
materials of the peasant type and
coloring are only good for use on
terraces or porches when tea Is being

cannot happen when q man and wom-
an have worked together side by side
for a number Of years. They have
seen each other with the paint all on
and their company manners discard
ed. They have seen each other in
times Of encouragement and stress,
times of exhaustion and nerve fraxzle.
and each has taken the measure Of
the other aud knows just exactly how
much strength, courage, fairness and
generosity and loyalty the other pos
sesses. Hence marrying the one with
whom you have worked Is bound TO
be preferred risk In marriage.
You have also put love to its acid
test, which Is daily association.
We can be in love. with almost any
one whom We see only occasionally
and who always has the fresh interest
of novelty, but 1t takes real love, the
genuine blown in the bottle variety,
to stand daily and hourly intimate
glitter and allure.
For we all have little unpleasant
ways. little annoying habits, little
peculiarities and eccentricities, little
mannerisms, we all tell the same
stories over again and make the same
calculations that are apt to get on the
nerves of those with whom we spend
much time, and it takes q great affec-
ton to forgive these and love even
our faults because they are our funny
little ways. AS for the difference in
ages between you and your hance,
that is negligible. That only counts
when one of the high contracting
parties is very young and still unde-
| veloped. After people are mature, all
that counts Is their congeniality.

except a couple of stores and an oil
station that have pay station phones
Most of the people who live in our

that do not care to know. They are

my radio I have to shut it OF while
they phone. They parade through my
home with their rubbers on and track
up my floors. They leave me no
privacy, no time that am safe from
them. What can do to rid myself
of this nuisance? MRS. z. M. N.
Answer-The reply to that is easy
Put in a pay telephone yourself. When
your neighbors find out that it costs
them a nickel at your house, they
will go to the store or the Oil station.
At any rate, there is no sense in your
running a free telephone booth and
having your peace and comfort de-
stroyed by your deadbeat neighbors,
and you are foolish to put up with
the imposition. Neighbors can be a
great comfort to you, but they can
also be the greatest nuisances on
earth.

BY LOIS LEEDS.

EAR MISS LEEDS-I am 26
years old and had until about
eight months ago a very good
complexion. My cheeks were
always rosy, but I took no
ton to use some rouge, and guess
1t was poison to my skin, for it caused
blackheads right away. Now my face
Is something terrible to look at and
my skin is dry. never had the black
heads until used the rouge, but I
Quit it as soon as I saw what it was
doing to me. What Is the best thing
for me to do now? B. A. s.
Answer: I think that the trouble
Is you did not change your methods
of cleansing your face after you began
to use makeup. Blackheads do not
always follow the use of rouge, since
most girls Of your age use it. One
may have a lovely skin and yet use
makeup If one knows how to apply
It and how to remove it thoroughly at
the close Of the day.
ALI movie stars, of course, use make
up, but they make a point of using
1t correctly. Since you are naturally
rosy, however, there is no point in
your applying artificial color to your
cheeks. To repair the damage you
have done to your skin you should
cleanse your face each night with
cleansing cream or oil, then wash it
with soap and water, using a COM
pleMoh brush to rub up rich lather;
rinse in clean warm water and press
out the ripe blackheads with black
head remover, a small instrument
made for this purpose. Now bathe
your cheeks with cold boric acid solu-
ton and blot dry. Dip your fingers
in tissue cream and give gentle
patting massage which will leave a
little of the cream on your skin.
Next morning wash your face with
cold water. Be sure that your diet
contains plenty of salads, fresh fruits,
green vegetables and milk products.
II the dryness persists, send q
stamped 6 cents), Self-addreSsed en-
velope to me with q request for my

Is Hot Water Harmful?
Dear Miss Leeds-Is hot water
harmful to ones skin?
ca. am Is years old, S feet tall
and weigh 80 pounds. Please suggest
a diet to build me up. I am never
sick. Please also suggest an exercise
TO form my legs more. p. p. p.
Answer: I suppose you refer to
the skin on the face. Water for wash
ing the face should be comfortably
warm, not hot, and afterward several
cold rinses should be used to close the
pores. Some authorities believe that
only cold water should be used on the
face, but I do not agree with this idea
entirely. Warm water is better for
the evening cleansing, and cold water
alone for the morning wash.

Lacey Girls
TOObSerVe
Foolish Day
Annual Event Adapts
Itself to Pleasure of
Young Folks.

THE Lacey girls were planning an
April Fool party. They we're all
young enough to enjoy being fooled
and to enter into the spirit Of a
foolishneSs party.
When the guests arrived they were
taken to the coat rooms. After their
wraps were removed and while they
were all sitting in the room the
Evening star., 1935-03-30

hostess led them to the hall. There
were as many pieces Of twtne as
there were guests. At one end of
each piece was bow Of crepe paper.
The bows were Of different colors,
but the strings were all white. Each
guest was assigned paper bow with
its attached string. The object Of
the game was to follow the string
to its very end, where = surprise
would be found Such a scrambling.
The strings were intertwined, they
were wound around chair legs, ran
under beds, behind closet doors.
The Lacey girls had had to do a
great deal Of housekeeping, you may
be sure, before the guests arrived,
but everything in the house was
orderly enough to bear inspection.
Some fool gift was at the end Of
each string. After that mirth-pro-
voking hunt it was impossible for the
party to be stiff.
Before the guests were led to the
dining room for refreshments they
were handed masks. These were all
grotesque and did nothing for the
appearance Of the wearers. The lower
part of the masks had been cut OF so
that eating was not difficult. At the
meal everything was reversed. The
dessert came first and soup came
last. Forks were passed with the
soup, knives with the ice cream and
spoons with the club sandwiches.
In addition to that, one serving
in each course was not what it
seemed. The unSuspecting guest was
usually fooled because to all appear
ances everything was all right. For
instance, all the guests but one had
consomme. The fooled one had tea.

Party Hints
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

- for the April Fool party. Each
dish has some surprise or
fool" element. For example,
the beverage looks like pink
lemonade, but proves to be ice water
delicately tinted pink with vegetable
coloring, or beet juice having in it a
few shavings Of sliced lemon and bits
of cut-up maraschino cherries. There
must not be enough of these fruits to
supply any flavor, just enough to be
misleading.
FOOL SANDWICHES.
The assorted sandwiches have a few
fool" ones among them, such as dark
rose flannel or other cloth for tongue,
or shredded salt Goldfish instead of
chicken in with chicken salad sand
wiches. A filing Of creamed butter
and sugar, with bits Of chopped un-
cooked cranherries and capers mixed
with them, win fool those who believe
they are getting cream cheese and
olive sandwiches. Yellow cloth, espe-
cially yellow felt, makes "fool" cheese
sandwich. In the assortment of some
genuine and some fool" sandwiches,
there should never be anything which
could be eaten and prove injurious.
The mixtures must either be nom
edible as cloth, or surprising as the
salt cod for chicken, etc.
FOOL CAKES AND CANDY.
Among the cakes, have an assort-
ment with occasionally frosted biscuits,
and frosted corn mufins mixed In with
the real frosted cup cakes. The candies
may be homemade or bought, but be
sure to have the conventional 'foor
chocolate creams mixed in with them,
the sort that are chocolate-coated cot
ton batting.
