keep the Western fruit stands sup

out most of the United States. fam
lilies should be able to enjoy fresh
peaches for breakfast, lunch or dinner
and have plenty to store away In
some other form or other for next
Winters meals.
That is a very pleasant state Of af-
fairs, for few fruits enjoy more uni
versal popularity than does the peach
for its delightful flavor. This fruit
does its bit. too. toward q healthful
diet, for peaches contain our old
friends, vitamins B and C; yellow
peaches also furnish us with vita

A BIT of interesting history lies in
"A the fact that peach stones were
among the seeds ordered for the Mas
sachusetts Bay Colony in 1929 by the
Governor. Oddly enough. Georgia,
the last Of the 13 original settlements
turned out to be "the noblest Roman
Of them ALL" as far as peach produc-
| ton was concerned.
There are so many delicious ways to
use fresh peaches that there isn't
space enough to describe them all to
you. There is the old standby of
sliced peaches with sugar and cream,
which is always good. A few mint
leaves over sliced peaches that have
been soaked in cherry brandy and
thoroughly chilled makes a real din
ner party" dessert. Sliced peaches,
combined with red raspberries, chilled
and then tossed in whipped cream. to
which little brandy has been added,
is another extra special way to serve
the fruit. Incidentally, slice peaches
just before serving and sprinkle them
well with lemon juice, If you wish to
keep them from turning dark.
There is peach short cake, done
with layers Of biscuit dough; there
is peach cobbler and there Is peach
tapioca-and SO on and on.

RUT for the more serious business
of storing our Summer peaches
for the Winter the bureau has some
very good suggestions in the matter.
Their directions are clear and easy to
follow and will give them to you
here verbatim:
CANNING PEACHES.
Use only sound peaches and for
uniform results grade them for size
and the same degree of ripeness. Wash
them thoroughly. To peel them i'm
merse them in boiling water for about
one minute, or until the skins will
slip easily, plunge at once into cold
water for a few seconds. Remove the
skins, cut the peaches into halves and
discard the pits. To prevent discol-

. DEAR MRS. POST: We were married
IL a wear ago, but no announcement
has been made except to our immedl-
ate families. Now my family would
like to have an early evening recep-
ton for us and invite every one 10
whom invitations would have been
sent to q wedding. Will you suggest
an invitation. and may this be sent
to out-of-town friends as well? we
would prefer not to have additional
announcements engraved. And what
is the least that can be served?

At after evening mealtime, sand

Dear Mrs. Post: My brother is to
be married soon and his f1ancee Is
very much younger than I am.
wouldn't like her to feel that our
family isn't willing to do everything
that can possibly be expected Of us,
but We are very much at loss as to
what this may be. Mother and I
have gone to see her and her mother,
but that is where the overtureS
stopped. Since am a business
woman, a party in her honor would
be difficult, but the spirit Is willing
II YOU think I ought to do something

Answer: If your brothers flancee

need do nothing more than try to
make her feel as much at home with
you as you can. Ask her to dinner
often enough to show her that you
consider her a member of your family

invite her casually. so that she feels
free to come or not when she likes.

Dear Mrs. Post: Recently I visited

THE beauty hints for women past
l. 40 that appeared in this column
not long ago have brought requests
for more of the same. Forty seems
very remote to my younger readers,
I know, but it is not too early for any
of them to begin thinking about now
to preserve their health and good
looks beyond that age. If young girls
would realize that some day they,
too. will be desperately fighting facial
wrinkles, graying hair and that mid
dle-age figure they could save them
selves a good deal of grief IN the later
years.
It Is hard for the girl in her teens
and twenties to imagine herself at
40. She cannot believe that life can
and should be much more interesting
and fuller at that time than ever be-
fore. The middle-aged woman who
has been cultivating good mental and
phvsical traits during her youth really
finds that "the best is yet to be"
But the girl who thinks that long,
curling Iashes and plenty of dates are
the only important thing in life will
find it dificult to adjust herself to
the inevitable 40s.
Some of the beauty and health
problems of the forties are the result
of neglect. The previous years have
been such busy ones! Complexion,
hands, hair and figure betray this
neglect. With the passing Of youth
the tendency toward certain organic
disorders is strengthened. The best
way to prevent the development OF
these troubles is to establish a rou-
tine of beauty and health care and
follow it.
Your beauty program should not
be a cut-and-dried affair, however.
1t should be adapted to your changing
needs. For instance, the care OF q
40-year -old complexion is naturally
different from that of a 20-year-old
one. Some women find their skin be-
coming ever so dry and tender in the
later years. They cannot tolerate
ordinary facial soaps. For them there
are cleansing oils, almond meal Cor
OlIlcT IcllIlCu luCdlI aAh oaoouS NkSoAAA0'
Nervousness, poor health and incor-
rect diet also affect the complexion.
So-called liver spots on face, neck
and hands frequently come at this
time. Bleaching treatments are not
always successful; improvement in
health Is also required.
Posture defects become more pro-
nounced as the years roll by. Cor
rect posture is important at all ages,
but it Is essential to the woman of 40
who wants to keep herself young
looking. A poised, graceful carriage
is an insurance against double chin,
round shoulders and prominent abb
domen that no woman can afford to
neglect. Good posture demands sup
pie muscles that are kept strong by
regular exercise. OF course, the more
vigorous sports and exercises are suit
able to the younger years. The exer-
else program must be adapted to the
period of life.

Dorothy Dix Says
There Are Two Schools of Thought
About Long Engagements.

other so that they find out before the
fatal knot Is tied all Of each others
little. weaknesses and peculiarities and
so are saved from the disillusioning
revelations that wreck so many mar
riages.
THEY contend that no man could
be engaged to a girl for four or
five years without finding out whether
their opinions and views on life jibed
or not; whether she bored or enter
tanned him and what sort of DISPOSE
ton and temper she possessed.
That seems q reasonable argument
in favor Of the long engagement, but,
alas, experience gives it the lie. For
no matter how much . man and
woman know each other before mar
riage, they find out after marriage
that they are united to perfect
strangers, with whom they are as lit
tie acquainted as If they had wed
mail-order individual that they had
recognized by his or her wearing q
white carnation on the left lapel.
Those who oppose the long engage
ment say truly that q long engage
ment is an emotional strain beyond
what human nature can bear, and
that nine times out of ten it simply
wears romance to tatters and rubs all
the bloom of sentiment, so that when
. couple do marry the honeymoon has
set, so to speak, before 1t ever rose.
r
THEY say that it puts woman in
q peculiarly difficult position be-
cause she is neither fish, flesh, fowl
nor good red herring. She Is bespoken,
but not taken. She is cut OF from
the attentions Of other men, yet she
has no husband to depend upon.
They say girls who enter into a long
engagement get old and haggard be-
fore their time with the hope deferred
that maketh the heart sick.
And they say that the man who
asks O girl to wait for him when he
starts out to seek his fortune commits
q crime against her and against him
self, because he inevitably changes in
q new environment, and that when
he does come back to marry his old
sweetheart it is generally because of a
sense of honor and not because he
wants her, and they live unhappily
ever afterward.
They say that the way to be happy.
though married, is to pick out what
you want when you want 1t, and that o
long engagement is a mistake.

.HE length of an engagement
generally depends upon out

TINE length of an engagement
generally depends upon OUT
side circumstances rather than
4 the desire of the high-con-
tracing parties. OF course, there are
stories of dilatory suitors who have
played around the altar, without ever
making the grade, for is or 20 years,
presumably on the principle of the
man who kept putting on his wedding
because he said he would have no
pleasant place in which to spend his
evenings if he married his fiancee.
The impulse of most lovers, how
ever, Is to rush off to the church as
quickly as possible, and so when the
average couple of young people drag
out the linked sweetness Of a long
engagement it Is seldom because they
have a morbid taste for perpetual
courtship, but because of material
conditions.
Generally it is because they lack
the price of a wedding ring or the
man is going to some place to seek
his fortune where wife would be q
handicap or he has not finished his
professional training or there are
family obligations-old fathers and
mothers to be supported, younger
brothers and sisters to be educated
that have made them put OF the
realization of loves young dream.
X II x X
TNASMUCH, then, as long engage
ments are almost always q matter
of necessity and not Of choice, 1t seems
superfiuous to discuss their effect upon
marital happiness. Yet it IS ques-
tion that Is vitally important, espe-
cially to the youths and maidens Of
our day, when, whether we like it or
not, we have to consider the high
cost of loving.
Many q young man in these times
Of depression has to face the problem
of whether to tell a girl of his love or
conceal it and let it prey on his dam
aged checkbook. And many girl has
to decide on the wisdom of cutting
herself OF from all other chances Of
matrimony and entering into wait
ing contract, that has no time limit
on 1t, with a man who may never
make good on his end of the bargain.
OF course, as with everything else
in life, there are two sides to the long
engagement question and both have
their points. One school of thought
holds that the long engagement is de-
sirable because it gives couple q
chance to really get to know each

rs YOUR mind full Of happy
thoughts about some delightful
place far from a hot city, that
you love to 60 to every Summer,
where you can look of at the noun
tains across the lake, or listen to the
surf pound in on the good old New
England coast? Wherever it is that
your fancy takes you, you will be in
terested in q distinct find among
sports clothes, sports dresses that are
being produced by a maker of fine
mems shirts with all the niceties of
detailed workmanship that character
ize the best custom-made shirts for
men.
These particular shirt frocks made
their first appearance this season as
the result of the brilliant idea Of a
young woman, after much persuasion
on her part to induce q shirtmaker
to allow garments for women to be
made within those sacred precincts
heretofore reserved for men only. But
1t turned out to be q great success
for every one, and now We have one
of our exclusive shops carrying some
of these dresses. You will note in
them the very tiny machine stitches
on all the seams, collars and pleats
true and even, and the materials
launder beautifully and give long
service. The fabrics include imported
broadcloth shirtings, novelty shirtings,
clearly defined checks in brushed cot
tons and chambray in soft pastels.
TWO of these frocks are sketched,
= showing entirely different designs,
although both are tuck-in two-piece
dresses. The dress at the right may
be worn with the shirt outside of the
skirt, as it is dart-titted through the
waist and has an extra belt.
Another thing that you will find
on these dresses is that all fastenings
are secure, with several snaps plus
hooks and eyes, all tightly sewed on
as men would demand; the laps OF
the pleats are ample, and the pockets
deep; the buttonholes are handmade
and the material pre-shrunk. They
are cut to give smart lines, and
though they are priced somewhat
above the usual sport frock, they will
give you so much more in service and
comfort that you would not regret
the little extra in initial cost. There
are several styles from which to
choose.
X
OTHER Summer frocks for imme-
~ diate wear are the white frocks
with the touches Of color. Lilac still
continues its great vogue and fur
nishes the note of color in oblong
clips at the corners of a square-necked
frock with large square bertha that
covers the upper arms. The buckle
and front section Of the belt are also
lilac, and the skirt has f1ared cores
at the front.
The soft scarf at the neck may be
done in several ways. In one frock
the neck is cut in v with revers
and there is tuck-in silk scarf match
ing the belt. In another model we
find q round collar edged with looped
cording and q long, floating scarf of
lilac chiffon fastened at the collar

WINCHESTER, Va. May 1.-The

tary to give the Shenandoah Valleys
annual Spring fiesta an international
atmosphere, Mile. Nella Veverka, lovely
young blond daughter of DR.. Ferdi-
nand veverka, Minister from Czecho-
slovakia, came to Winchester today to
receive queenly honors tomorrow at
the opening of the twelfth annual
Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival.
Escorted by her brother, Ferdinand
veverka, jr., and q dozen motor cycle
police, she was enthusiastically &C
claimed by crowds along streets deco
rated with flags and streamers. and
again as she paused to acknowledge
greetings in front of the residence OF
DR.. and Mrs. Hunter H. Mcguire, who
will be her official hosts.
This is the first visit OF Mile. We
verka has made to the heart OF the
great apple growing district OF the East,
and as she motored with her party
over the rolling hills between the Ma
tional Capital and the lower Shenan-
doah Valley she had opportunity to
see some of the EaSt's largest orchards
arrayed like an immense bouquet of
pink, green and white. Her parents
will be here tomorrow to attend the
coronation of their daughter and other
festivities.
The eve of the festival saw hotels
and boarding houses. as well as prl-
vate homes, filled with guests. Deco
rators were completing their work on
many buildings in the business district.
Cooler weather during the night
vas accompanied by brisk wind,
which growers said broke up condi-
tions that make for frost. The lower
Temperatures likewise prevented trees
that burst into bloom Sunday from
shedding their blossoms. Late varie-
ties popped open today.
1t was understood to be the inten-
tion Of the queen to witness the parade
Of 5000 school children incognito to-
morrow morning, as she is not to be
tnducted until midafternoon. The
