Beatrice Fairfax Says: Forget Honeymoon Il Cost Causes Quarre
Etiquette
Christening Is
Informal
CORRESPONDENTS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

ByMRS.C ORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 am expecting a baby next
month and intend to 60 to the
hospital. Is it proper to give
the nurse Tor nurses) who take
care of me, gifts, such as hose
or handkerchiefs, on the day l
leave, or would money be the
better thing to offer? If so, how
much?
please give me the proper
procedure for a christening and
the correct way to extend invi.
tatiOn5. l intend to have my
husbands parents and my
parents at an early dinner be-
fore the christening, and /
would like to know how to let
our friends know that they are
welcome whenever they choose
to visit us.
"What would be proper to
serve? Would buffet style be
wise?
"When would be the proper
time to mail the birth an
nOuncement cards? X"
1t is better taste for you to
give the nurse or nurses a gift,
rather than money. The giving
of money seems too much like
a "tip," while the giving of
gift is a gracious and uncriticis-
able gesture of friendliness and
appreciation.
An invitation to a christen-
ing may be a verbal, or a per-
sonal note, or you may use your
visiting card with the time,
place and occasion written on
it.
I Judge from your letter that
the christening that you are
planning is to be at your home.
In the room in which the chris
tening is to take place, you
should have a table covered
with a dainty white cloth, and
on it a bowl partially filled
with warm water, as the font.
AS the guests gather at the
appointed hour, you and your
husband receive them infor.
mally. When all is ready, the
clergyman takes his place be-
side the table, and the baby is
brought in by the godmother
or by one of the parents, if
there are to be no godparents.
If there is a godmother, she
holds the child in her arms and
the other godparent or godpar-
ents and the parents stand near
the clergyman at the baptismal
font. The details of the cere-
mony then proceed according to
the ritual of your church. The
ceremony in church or IN the
home is the same.
After the christening the
menu served is usually the one
that is served for an afternoon
tea: Tea. with coffee or punch
as an alternative; small sand
wiches of various kinds, and
small cakes or a layer cake. 1t
is correct, if you wish, to add a
salad, say a fruit salad, to this
menu.
The birth announcement
cards are mailed as soon after
the birth as convenience permits.

The Rhynning
Optinnist
BY ALINE MICHAELIS
PreScience

Just where a narrow, sandy lane
Winds down to meet the sea,
Between crumbling wall of rock
And one gnarled cedar tree,
I pause a moment, though I long
To greet the tumbling waves;
Some president steel upon my
mind
This lonely spot engraves.
Some day (who knows how far,
how near?)
I shall walk here again,
The sky will be as vivid still,
AS loud, the surf's refrain.
I shall walk here and in my
heart
Such fervent joy will rise
This space 'twixt rock and tree
will seem
The gate to Paradise.
Through whom and when I can.
not guess,
Save this: that destiny
With happy look upon this path
Will wait some day for me!

Arrange Color
Combinations

When you begin to make
plans to repaint furniture or
add new pieces to those that
you already have, you will have
certain definite color comblna-
tionS in mind.
Occasionally you will also
want applied decorations, and
sometimes you may want the
pieces to look old or "antiqued,
to go with those that you al
ready have. The effect you
desire must be planned ahead
of time so that you may from
the very beginning work to-
ward a definite end.
The simplest method of in.
PRODUCING a second or third
color on a piece of furniture
is by adding stripes or bands
to an already painted surface.
On a table bands one or two
inches wide may follow the
outer edge, or fine lines of
colors may be set in an inch
or so from the edge. It is ef-
fective to paint only the edge
(the thickness of the top) Of
some tables.
Chairs, Too
If you want just suggestion
of another color and do not
want to go to the trouble Of
painting stripes or bands, per-
haps the under side of the table
can be painted a different and
brighter or darker color. Then,
when the leaves are folded
down-it should be that sort of
table-there will be just a
glimpse of the second color. 1t
is not wise to use too many
forms of decoration on any one
piece.
Chairs can be handled in
much the same way, with the
edges of the seat frames painted
a contrasting color, or narrow
bands of color on the seats or
top rails. Hair.line stripes can
be applied to top rails or to all
the rails if the chairs are of the
ladder-back variety, as well as
to the seat. If the legs have
turnings, it is sometimes quite
all right to paint the upper or
central or lower turnings of
contrasting color.
That plan should be followed
only where gay colors are used
and where such strong con-
trasts are needed as a part of
the decorative scheme. It is not
a wise suggestion for a semi.
formal living room or dining
room or for any room where
other types of furniture are in
cluded. In such cases the sim
plest of contrasting decorations
are the best.
Masking Tape
Chests may be decorated by
painted edges; or narrow bands
may decorate the top and still
narrower bands may outline the
drawers. This kind of decora-
ton is applicable only where
such strong contrasts fit in with
the whole decorative scheme.
Sometimes the knobs can be
painted in a contrasting color.
but remember that they will
then stand out like little eyes or
buttons.

In other words, with more
rouge than you have used be-
fore, a more natural effect is
possible. The thing to remem-
Der is that, to get radiance"
lighter, brighter rouge and lip
stick are required. And when
it comes to face powder, the
paler tones in the popular deep
sun shades should be selected
those with an ivory rather than
a pink tinge.
And as long as it was their
suggestion and their expert
ment, these cosmeticianS have
gone ahead and mixed the
shades you require. You apply
the rouge delicately all over
your face, with the deepest
color in the spots where it would
ordinarily be. And>it is really
amazing what a fresh. animated
appearance this method brings!
This lipstick, powder and
rouge are all in the medium
priced group, and the girl at the

ALFRED"
How two young people are 60
ing to make a success Of mar
riage when they start out with
this hard-boiled attitude, it is
difficult to forecast.
AS far as any hard and fast
rule can be laid down about
these things. you. my dear AL
fred, should have bought the
furniture. That's the mans
privilege" as head of the house,
and, since your fiancee crashed
the traditions and bought part
of it, don't you think you should
pay the expenses Of the honey
moon?
These days when the whole
world is topsy-turvy, and, &C.
cording to Government statistics
compiled five years ago, 4,000,-
900 women were heads of house
holds and supporting male de-
pendents, what can you expect?
But to an old-fashioned senti-
mentalist, like myself, I cannot
see how any man can bubble
over the expenses of a honey
moon. A first honeymoon oc-
ours only once in a lifetime.
It's supposed to be as near to
Paradise as we mortals ever get
here below. Then why this
hard-boiled fifty-fifty point-of-
view?
