Make STUDY

Tobacco also is first a Stimu.
liant, then a depressant. Its
consumption interferes with the
normal amount of pure air alb
sorbed through the lungs. A
woman'S unborn baby gets from
her blood his entire supply of
oxygen. Does she want to do
anything to lessen that?
Women ought to be greatly
interested in the report recentlys
published at Antioch College
as to the effect of smoking by
pregnant mothers upon their
babies. DR.. Lester w. Sontag
and DR.. Robert F. Wallace,
made 81 tests, using five women
As subjects under observation.
The women smoked. The
doctors, with stethoscopes, meas
ured the heart action of the un-
born infants. Each little heart
beat regularly at the rate of IA
pulSations a minute.
When the four out of five
mothers who were habitual
smokers puffed at their ciga-
retteS, each mothers child
showed an increase of five heart
pulsationS per minute. In the
case Of the fifth expectant
mother, who was not a smoker,
but lit up for the test, the un-
born child'S heartbeats were
slowed.

Blouses, hats, gloves and
shoes are what will put your
Easter suit over in a big way,
according to Pictorial Review.
For the strictly tailored suit,
the most popular blouse is Of
striped silk or cotton shirting,
silk linen or washable crepe in
the new blossom colorS.
For softer blouses, and these
are worn even with tweeds, there
are chiffonS, georgettes, dull
triple sheers, cotton and angel.
skin laSe, fine nets, organizes,
printed sheerS, pastel batistes,
candy-striped marquisette and
checked sheer wolfe.
Newest BIouses
For tailored sport blouses, the
srnartest fabrics are noncrush-
able linen, in tropic shades, gay
striped seersuckers and piques,
plaid ginghams, paisley prints,
polka dot silks and tie silks.
The taffeta blouse is smart with
silk, wool or even linen in Glib

gaudy stripes and demure flower
prints.
The most important hats are
the sailor, the Breton, the clas-
sic brimmed type, the front
brimmed hat, the beret and the
turban, all with a forward move
ment. The most important
straws are rough. shiny straws,
such as onion skin, Shantung-
type straws, and smooth Straws,
as ballibuntl and baku.
Pink With Blue
There are many combinations
of blue and red-a hat with a

Select Reliable
Depilatory
BY JULIET SHELBY

100000
Short-sleeved blouseS and
dresses and the approach of
the bathing suit days combine
to make women conscious Of
legs and arms that have
growthS of superfluous hair.
Today a woman can keep
her skin smooth and lovely
without endangering its texture,
if she is careful to choose a
reliable hair remover.
Pretty Kitty Carlisle of Para.
mount Studios practically
lives in a bathing suit during
the warm and hot HOLLYWOOD
weather, and what woman
wouldn't if she had as lovely a
figure as this charming actress?
And we all desire to look
well in bathing or sun suits,
but that is simply impossible
unless the skin Is kept free Of
superfluous hair. Those who
seem to know say that shaw
ing coarsens and thickens the
hair growth. So you should
resort to a depilatory.
If wax depilatories are too
much trouble, and if you agree
that "yanking" the hair out
discourages the growth in time,
then you will be pleased to
learn that a new instantaneous
hair remover comes in the form

Give a Party
Instead.

Y MRS. ORNELTUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Because of a large family Of
sisters, it has not been the Gus
tom for my sister, who is to be
married quietly next month, to
make special friends with other
girls.
I know there are several good
friends who would like to at
tend a shower for her, but they
do not feel that they have been
intimate enough for any one OF
them to give her a party.
Would it be improper for any
of the three married sisters, or
myself, an unmarried sister, to
give such party for her?
I would dearly love to do this,
myself, but would not care to
put myself in the position of
asking her friends to bring her
gifts if it is very improper. If
it were possible, feel that the
guests would understand. L.
Since it is customary to take
for granted that a bridal shower
is given by close friends of the
bride-to-be, and since, as you
say, your sister hasn't, because
of circumstances, had the oppor-
tunity of surrounding herself by
close friends, it seems inconsist-
ent to me that this shower
should be planned.
If you and your sisters wish to
give a party for your engaged
sister, this would be charming
and of course definitely appro-
pirate. But I can't feel that it
would be appropriate for you or
your sisters to promote" a
shower, which in this case has
to take for granted that not
very-close friends would be ex-
pected to contribute shower pres
ents.
Since your sisters friends 'do
not feel that they have been in
innate enough" with her to plan
this party, I don't see how you
could logically take for granted
that they are intimate enough
friends to contribute shower
presents. Do you?

Informal Dress


Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
To settle an argument I would
like your advice on the follow
ing problem. We are a group of
nine girls and we have formed
a bridge club, and to end the
season we thought of having a
dinner about 1880 in the grill
room of large hotel.
Now the question is, as there
will be only girls in our party,
I think it would be in better
taste to dress informally, but
the other girls insist on wearing
formal clothes.
What do you think?
ANXIOUS.
I agree with you, most en-
Enthusiastically. It would be in
vastly better form, vastly more
appropriate, for this group of
girls dining in the grill room of
a hotel, to dress informally.
For them to dress in evening
clothes would be CONSPICUOUS,
attention-calling.

Baby Shower
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Some friends are giving a
baby shower for me. Can you
please tell me what I should
say and do? 1t is supposed to
be a surprise. C.
AS you open each gift, talk
about it enthusiastically and
graciously. Tell the friend how
generous and kind it was of her
to think Of it, and then admire
the gift, in words so warm
heartedly friendly and appre-
ciative that your friend will be
deeply happy that she bought
just that gift. And then, the
day following the shower or as
soon after as you possibly can,
write a thank-you note to each
giver of a shower present.

DisapprOves Writing to Her "Ex. y

DfSapprOves Writing to Her OK"
Dear Miss Fairfax:
We've been married such a
little while that our friends re.
gard us as bride and groom.
We've both been divorced and
our former partners are living.
Opening a book the other day
I found a half-written letter that
my wife had not completed to
her ex-. I read the letter; it
was not loving, but highly anus
ing. Naturally, 1 was angry.
I called her down about this
and she said she felt at liberty
to write to her "ex-," just as
she would to any other friend;
that they were incompatible,
but are still good friends. This
may be the modern way, but
it's not agreeable to me.
OLD-FASHIONED HUSBAND.
People secure divorces for
such trifling reasons, these days,
that often they do not consider
it is worth while getting angry
about trifles, which separated
them.
Evidently your wife belongs to
this ultramodern school and,
as she was not writing a love
letter to her "eX-", doubtless it
is wiser not to make an issue
of it.

Why Take Chance?

Until science clearly demon

is possible-that cigarettes for

life the benefit of the doubt
and deny herself an indulgence

Dear Miss Fairfax:
My husband lost his job two
weeks ago and, instead OF look
ing for work, he suggests selling
our furniture or putting 1t IN
storage and going to live with
his parents.
Nothing would induce me to
agree to this as they have tried
in every way to separate us dur
ing our entire married life.
I'm sure if he really wanted
work he could get it. He has
packed his clothes to go, q
couple of times, but has not
gone yet.
We have a lovely little son
and I am much concerned about
his future as am considering
a separation.

With the tremendous sum
that has been appropriated for
employment it seems as if your
husband might find work. His
suggestion of selling, or putting
your household goods in stor-
age and going to live with his
parents, may be only an excuse
to break up your home.
Have you any earning capac.
ity and what would you do with
your child If you did succeed in
getting employment?
You should consider these
