have no trouble at all.
This season is a particularly
easy one for us all. For there
are suits in all moods from
very feminine to extremely tai
lored. There are dresses in
fluffy types, and there are
many goo d shirtwaist froeks.
Goats are equally diverse. And
best of all, women's clothes run
the full gamut of individuality.
Just to illustrate, here a quota
tion from a leading magazine
editor, on the diversity availa-
BILE, and it has many good ideas
in it. There's food for thought,
whether you're the type de-
Scribed or not.
Dress in character, and buy
clothes to fit your personality"
advises Nina Hyde in Good
Housekeeping. IF you are the
smart gay type, you may lean
toward slinky or ruffled clothes
generally, but this year you
must have a suit too, and it
should be feminine. Preferably
one that will permit you to
have blouses with fluffy jabots,
new Shirred necklineS and
quaint little collars.
For evening, you may select
picture frockS with their soft,
The Washington times., 1935-02-28

flattering sleeves, and dashing
net capes, or the modern bodice
and full skirt. For daytime
wear, always choose feminine
fabrics. Taffeta, of course,
with it's mysterious swish is
ideal; matelaSse and puffed ma
terials are soft and good; tulle
trimming is airy and makes
tempting ruches and jabots.
Lace dyed to match is a subtle
feminine way to decorate a
dress.
In sports clothes, color is
most important. Raspberry,
bright purplish blues, brown
and reds are used. This sea-
son the smart white is a
creamy candle color which you
can combine with dark reds.
Be sure to wear your paint
box sports costume at the
proper time. Ruffles may look
becoming in the stores, but at
a crew race or at the country
club, inappropriate clothes will
betray you. Even if you don't
play games, you should look as
if you did. Sweaters, coats and
suits should be easy fitting.
Nothing is so inappropriate as
a sports dress that exposes too
many curves"

Minimum Needs

Three flannel or flannelette
bands, worn only during the
first 10 days of life.
Three shirts, of cotton and
wool or silk and wool. The first
blend is cheaper and just as
satisfactory. All-wool is too
warm at any season Of the year,
and the shirts need not be worn
In summer.
Two dozen diapers, made Of
diaper cloth, Of flannelette or
canton flannel. Rubber diapers
should not be used. They are
not hygienic, and they make
the baby too hot.
Three pairs white stockings.
These, like the shirts, may be a
mixture of wool and silk or wool
and cotton.
Three petticoats of flannel or
flannelette, which open down
the back and are fastened with
tapes.
Three lawn, cotton or flannel.

This method of skin care is
quite simple. She washes her

water and then applies a little
Skin.food cream. In the morn
ing she removes the cream with
this delightful skin lotion. Dur.
ing the day, as she cleanSeS her
face with cream, she uses the
lotion again. Her skin has a
lovely smoothness. So her
method is particularly good for
her type Of skin.
If you live in a drying climate,
or if you visit one, perhaps
Glenda Farrell's method will
suit you if you, too, have oily
skin.
This same refreshing lotion is
suitable for the normal and
slightly dry skin, and I know a
woman who uses it instead of
water during cold weather. Her
skin is very dry, inclined to be
sensitive to soap and water
wherl the temperature hovers
around zero.
Any skin lotion or astringent
should be applied after a cream
cleansing and should never be
used in place of the latter rou.
tine.
Moisten a piece Of absorbent
cotton in cold water and then
dip it into the lotion. Dab it
freely over your face and neck
and pat it into the skin for a
few minutes with your finger
tips or a gentle patter. The
surplus may be blotted off with
a linen towel.
If your face appears slightly
flushed, blotched or redeemed,
do not be alarmed. It will tone
down in a moment or two, and
your skin will be refreshed and
tingling with healthy circula.
tion.
My only warning about skin
lotions is that you be cautious
in your choice. It is better to
initiate your skin with a mild
astringent; if you find it is not
sufficient to combat an oily
condition. then choose a more
potent preparation.

Basic Principles

Two basic principles dictate
the choice Of clothes for a little
baby.
First, he must be kept i'm
maculately clean.
Second, he must wear just
enough to keep him warm but
not enough to interfere with the
freedom of bodily movement.
AS I explained in a previous
article, the quintuplets at home
in their warm, draughtproof
nursery, wear, even in the dead
Of winter, only a shirt, a diaper,
a dress, knitted booties and a

1t goes without saying that a
girl whose parents are alive and
well ought never to have to con-
cern herself with the character
or past record of the man she
expects to marry.
Even in this indifferent and
careless age, when parents have
become, I admit, pretty nearly
invisible in their daughters uni
verse, I cannot imagine a

Son-in-law.
Secret Doubt
We can see, however, what
has happened in the family of
"Bride-to-Be," a young CORE
Spondent who is superlatively
in love, yet tortured by secret
doubt.
'My fiance IS from the West"
she says, land has no immediate
family. He Is charming, con-
siderate, handsome, in fact adOr.
able. Even my parents, particu-
larly my mother, are wild over
him. Why am 1 not perfectly
happy?
"It's just that somebody
dropped a little hint about him
that I can't forget, yet don't
dare follow up. We have &C
cepted everything he has told
us. He must be all right. 1
hate myself for admitting any
doubt.
"But suppose I found out after
marriage that he wasn't what
he says he is? And let me add
that my father is well-tO-dO."
It is true, I am afraid, that a
man with anything at all dubi-

InUites Colds

Three one-yard squares Of
fannelette, which may serve
the purpose of a shawl wrapping.
For extra warmth, when re-
quired, a knitted d coat or a
sweater or both are useful. In
summer the baby may wear a
lightweight bonnet of silk,
nainsook or lawn. A warmer
bonnet, of broadcloth, flannel or
wool, should be worn in winter.
In adjusting the baby's cloth
ing the mother should never
put on garments so numerous
or so heavy that the little one
perspireS. That is the way to
invite a cold.
Even now, with all the en-
phasis on minimum dressing,
more youngsters are overdressed
than under-clothed. Often, on
q hot summer day, a nudist
baby-wearing only a little
diaper-is most comfortable.

But the daughter must have

one of these persons she must
explain her predicament, for her
finances sake as well as her
own. And the wedding must not
take place until that little
shadow of a doubt is COM
pletely brushed aWay-if it can
be.
In the Hands of a GOld-Digger
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm in love with a girl half
my age, and she wants to marry
me only if my wife dies. My
wife is sickly, and the girl
knows it, so I bought this girl
an engagement ring, and she
promised to be mine only.
She goes out with an old
sweetheart, and when he calls
her on the phone she acts as
if she were obeying a code.
I've spent several hundred
dollars on this girl in clothes
and jewelry. She kisses me
passionately whenever we meet,
and she won't leave me alone.
1 love her so much I cannot
really do my work. I have two
sons over 81 years OF age.
j. A.
You evidently do not recog-
nize the signs of a gold-digger
when you meet one. I haven't
given a third of your letter,
but enough, I hope, to show
that this girl is working you
for a good thing.
This girl is exploiting your
age and weakness to get what
she wants out of you. Please
be sensible.

Best Of
Care
By JULIET SHELBY

No hard and fast rule
covers the use of skin tonics.
In fact, the choice depends
upon the type of skin you
are endowed with and the
climate in which you are
living.
Take, for instance, Glenda
Farrell's choice. This pretty
and amusing Warner Brothers
star uses a mildly astringent
skin tonic, even though she has
an oily skin. This is contrary
to the suggestions of most cos
meticians. But Miss Farrell

MANY people profess surprise at

young men now approach the altar.
Yet there should be nothing puz-

they loved so much. on the con-

they had houses full Of children.
They couldn't always afford ser

The canny young man nowadays,
however. faces a different problem.
He understands all too well that in
taking a wife he IS INDUCING in a
luxury. Unless his desire is far more
powerful than his caution. he will
pause a while before ne assumes the
matrimonial yoke. A wife, alas, IS
now a liability-and a big one.
The recent huIlabalOO about deny
ing Jobs TO married women has not
increased mans incentive to marry.
When ne lives in a world where
work in the home has been reduced
10 a minimum, and where a wife
can not hold a paying job, it's up
10 him TO think fast before he DE-
