It's quite tardy to send out
formal announcements of your
marriage after this lapse of time.
And it always does seem to me
rather inappropriate to send out
formal announcements so long
after an unconventional" wed
ding.
It's so much more suitable to
the circumstances for you. when
you have decided to announce
your marriage, to tell your rela-
tiveS who live near enough to tell
by word of mouth, and to write
to those who live far away. Then
either tell or write to your friends.
In this way all those intimately
concerned with the news receive
it in a closely-friendly form of an
nouncement. And the news will
spread quickly enough.
You may, if you wish, have a
party at which the announce
ment will be made, but, unless

Headaches of
Nasal Ori6i17

By LOGAN CLENDENTNG, M. d
In speaking of headaches due
to the eyes, we said that they were
likely to be evening headaches
Morning headaches usually are OF
nasal origin. caused from infec.
ton of the nasal sinuses, which
fill up during the night and drain
spontaneously a few hours after
the patient is UP and about. It is
during the period when they are
full and tense early in the morn
ing that the headache occurs.
These headaches, however, are
far less frequent than was once
supposed. Years ago Gruenwald,
Of Vienna, taught that headache
was present in 100 per cent of the
cases Of acute sinus disease, and
in so per cent Of the chronic
cases.
A careful reexamination of ma.
terial has convinced a modern
nasal surgeon in Cleveland that
out of 295 consecutive cases OF
sinus disease in his clinic. only q
had headache.
INFECTION
Deviation Of the nasal septun
high up may, however. by pres
sure on nerves, cause an irritating
headache. and another condition
is that in which a nerve ganglior
inside the nose is affected BY
infection.
All these headaches can readily
be relieved by inStituting proper
drainage, or by local application
in the nose. The use Of nasa
douches and inhalantS of many
kindS-each patient has h i.
favorite-will make things com
Portable, at least temporarily.
Another condition close to thu
nose, which frequently is said K
cause headache, is impaction o,
Q molar tooth. In my experience
however, this does not cause
much trouble unless there is ar
unstable nervous system asSoci
ated with it.
QUESTIONS FROM READERS
A. NJ: "I would greatly appreci
ate your advice on the permanent
removal of hair on the face. Coulc
you give me the name of ar
oxidizer? Benzole? BenZoin?"
Answer: ElectrolysiS is the only
method Of permanent removal o.
hair on the face that is entirely
reliable. Hydrogen peroxide is al
oxidizer.
M. s.: ''when a persons fin
ger nails keep splitting and fai
to grow, I am told that the body
is lacking in calcium and lime
Is this correct, and if so, can you
advise what to take to remedy
this condition?
Answer: This is not true. The
trouble usually is a yeast infec
ton or a fungus infection of the
nail bed. which can best be cured
with the X-ray.

you have first told your relatives,
your guests at this party would
be relatives of yours and Of your
husbands. That is, it would
seem very inconsistent, If you
haven't told your relatives and
your husbands relatives, for you
to have an announcement party
and tell your friends before you
tell your relatives. If your guests
are to be your relatives and his,
and your close friends, then the
announcement party would be
appropriate.
If you have this announce
ment party, make the announce
ment with simplicity and dignity.
For instance. toward the begin
ming of the party, say a dinner,
your father might propose q
toast, ITO Mary, and to her
husband Tom" AS he Is giving
this toast, you will slip your
wedding ring on your finger (you
probably will not have worn it
in public before) and the news
will be told.

Glass NiChes

Glass inches strike a new note
in modern rooms.
The glass reflects the room and
makes it appear much larger than
its actual size. Glass shelves form
an excellent setting for a favorite
collection Of china figures, colored
glass, porcelain animals or what
have-you.
Flowers placed in these inches
are reflected and add a note Of
color.
This feature is particularly at
tractive in dining rooms but may
be used with equal success in liv-
ing rooms or halls.

Famous Authority Problems of Love and Marriage

Does love a entirely unsought must she
cooperate little with her destiny? Must she meet love
half way?
Ninety girls out of hundred today sure, would give
the this question They would agree
little be gained by romantic dreaming and that the
girl who doesn't want to lose out the most important thing
in life has to have to put it frankly plan Of action
The Washington times., 1935-11-08

It Is to the remaining 1U girls
that I have a word to say.
Strangely, perhaps, the girls
who are the most helpless in fur
nishing their lives with love are
those to whom love means most.
But what girl, for that matter,
doesn't want to be loved? What
woman, even the most independ-
ent modern youngster with the
most hard-boiled exterior, doesn't
instinctively long to be chosen
out of all the world. by a man
whom she, for ner part, can &C.
Statically adore? ...,..
Practical Question
The practical question is:
How is this desirable state OF
things to be brought about? If
a benevolently matchmaking fate
can't be too implicitly counted on,
how is a girl to conduct herself ?
"Is something the matter with
the boys of my generation?" asks
Marjorie W., in a letter that has
set me thinking on this question,
cor is something the matter with
me?
"I am 10 years old; fair and
blue-eyed. People have always
told me am pretty. Although I
am little shy, I feel in myself
the capacity for a great love.
Sometimes, in a street car, on the
street, / see the kind of man that
I could love, and my whole heart,
my whole being, goes out to him.
But I have always supposed
that love would come to me as a
wonderful Surprise-and I have
been waiting.
Love is, in fact, religion to
me, and I couldn't bring myself
to go in for any common little
filtration that would mean some
thing less than love. I want to
be ready and fit when the miracle
happens.
Meanwhile, the boys meet
mean nothing to me, and to tell
the truth they act as if I meant
nothing to them. Girls without
by idealism and intense feeling
are preferred to me.
"Tell me, Miss Fairfax, am ]
asking too much of life? Surely
you do not propose that I com
promiSe!"
The mistake made by Marjorie
and other dreamy girls of her
type is not in taking love too
seriously. That, I think, can
scarcely be done.
What I should like to dissuade
them from is living in romantic
fairy tale, believing that the men
they are destined to love will be
glistening heroes rather than
nice, everyday boys, and that love
itself will descend upon them in
some magic fashion.
Be COmpanionable
I have the tenderest feeling to-
ward these girls, bu5 I want to
urge them to get in tune with the
world they are living in.
Forgetting their vague hopes

at the convenient moment, I
should like them all TO begin with

This is q warning to the flesh
conscious woman who would be
smart though overweight. It
comes to us in q release from
Hollywood and Is the advice of
Helen Taylor, the clever young
American who designs clothes and
costumes for Josephine Hutchin-
son and many other Hollywood
stars. She says:
l. Don't ever wear shiny-sur.
faced fabrics-even If Paris in
sists-you may look like last years
date in flat crepe or dull black.
2. Don't wear blouse or jacket
Of one color with a skirt Of an
other. Cuts your height at least
two inches.
3. Don't fall for tomato red eve
ming slippers when your dinner
dress is black. Try black slippers
and watch the results.
4. Don't please - wear huge
furs or voluminous collars. Con-
tent yourself with small skins
worn close to the neck. Reason
obvious.
S. Don't affect wide, flaring
sleeves or sleeves so unique that
they call attention to themselves.
Makes you twice as wide.
6. Don't let that crafty millinery
clerk talk you into pill-box hat,
even If it does have a flattering
veil. Brims are more becoming to
the broader face. AND men pre-
fer them.
7. Don't buy a size sixteen when
you wear an eighteen. You are
fooling nobody but yourself. A
wallpaper fit in clothes adds
pounds to your appearance.
8. Don't fasten large bow on
your bosom unless you have the
virtues of a brassiere model. 1t
does terrible things to your sill
houette.
9. Don't delude yourself into
thinking that a bateau neckline
will give you long line from
throat to waist. 1t will only &C
centuate the width Of your Shoul-
derS and make your head appear
| too small for your body.
10. Don't ever wear all white.
Miss Taylor believes that a de-
signer's greatest hope in creating
original ideas in modern costume
lies in the development Of new
fabrics. She uses cellophane vel
vets, cellophane iaceS, metallic
satinS, ribbed satins and rhine
stone cloth-all new departures in
screen fabrics. She does not, how
ever, feel that these materials
should be adopted indiscrimin-
ately by the average woman.
II know what a temptation IL Is
to try a new and rich material"
she says, with designers offering
each year a dazzling lineup Of un-
usual woolenS and silks.
But the woman who Is over.
weight must watch her fabrics as
closely as her diet. Three yards
of rhinestone cloth on the wrong
figure can wreck a girls smart
ness reputation overnight. An
afternoon frock of cire satin
which looks divine on a size II
can make q freak out a perfectly

Why not be slender and wear
any style? Start today and follow
a routine to help you? My Re-
ducing Diet is a sane, harmless
method and accomplishes results.
