When Manners

By MRS S.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Bridesmaid

eASA~Ne0Ae~ASe
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is it proper for the sister Of
q girls fiance to give a shower
for her? Can a married woman
be a bridesmaid at a wedding,
or is it only proper for her to
be matron Of honor? z.
For obvious reason bridal
showers are not supposed to be
planned by close relatives Of
the bride-to-be or of the groom
to-be. Yes, a married woman
may be a bridesmaid at
wedding. Nowadays when
bridal attendants are chosen,
no distinction is made between
married and unmarried people.
Mourning
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
A brother, of whim I am very
fond, lost his wife a short time
ago. How soon can I try to
include him on a fourSome
with some girl friends Of mine?
Surely he cannot be expected
to sit at home by himself for
a year or so? E.
Your request as to how soon
you may include your brother
in a foursome with a girl friend
of yours depends so entirely on
your brothers reactions that I
doubt if an outsider would
have the right to even try to
answer it.
The only way of your being
sure as to what you should do
is to talk this over with your
brother, and let him decide
what his preference about this
is. People react so differently
to a loss such as your brothers
that one should be very careful
about stepping over the thresh-
old of the grief.

Helpful Kitchen
Suggestions

Keep your eye on the scale
when making a purchase that
must be bought according to
weight. Do not allow the mer-
chant to put his hands upon
the scale or any portion Of it.
The moment he does this you
are being defrauded. Also, do
not allow the merchant to bring
the scale to a stop unless after
he has brought it to a full stop
he removes his hand and per-
mits you to read the scale.

Baby Must Be Dressed to Meet Sudden Changes in the Weate
Skin Needs
Patient
Care
By JULIET SHELBY

It always astounds me
when a good cream is called
"rejuvenating." Immediately
you expect miracles from the
preparation, whereas if it
were called tissue cream"
you would give it more time
to restore the youthful tex
ture and lovely transparency
to a tired or abused skin,
and you would be more
grateful for its efficacy.
Such is the case with a
product which is an excellent
tissue cream, or, to be more
specific, an excellent cream for
rebuilding the skin tissue by
reviving the gland action.
Screen beauties and opera
and stage stars do not hesitate
to voice their praise Of this
cream. But it performs no
immediate miracles. AS with
any worthwhile product, you
must have patience, religiously
applying the cream to your
skin after q thorough cleans
ing.
It may be used as a night
cream or a foundation base.
And, naturally, the more con-
slant the treatment, the more
rapid the skin rejuvenation or
transformation.
It is a splendid method for
reclaiming winter-weary skins
that have suffered from too
much cold. Those who pro.
duce it tell tales of hospital
use for children who are
chafed and sore, or for the
hands Of doctor or nurse.
So don't let the word ere.
juvenating" frighten you, for
the cream does not contain
any borax, alkali or acid of
any kind. Let it smooth out
those tiny wrinkles about your
eyes and mouth and give your
skin a moist appearance in
stead Of a dried, tough tex
ture.
Let the exquisite skin Of
Virginia Bruce, reputed to have
the loveliest complexion of any
actress in Hollywood, be your
inspiration. Her skin retains
that enviable youthful quality.
For, to let you in on a secret,
Virginia is meticulouS in her
daily care of this precious
asset.
She expects no miracles from
a jar Of cream, but she puts
great store in constant daily
care and in the efficacy of
constant use Of creams such as
this I tell you about, If used
relipiouSlv. So it is I'D to VOL!

Cleaning Aid

To keep the sink shining, use
soap jelly made in two quarts
of boiling water or using an
amount of soap flakes to make
a very soapy solution) and two
tablespoons kerosene. This is
a great aid in keeping a white,
shining sink. Keep some Of this
in a handy place. The result is
well worth the effort.

In addition to his estimate that at

than $40 nor more than $85. To re-
Ceive the highest pension it would
be necessary for person to have

$3.50 monthly. This, he states, means
that workers in the present genera

unworried existence.
But what became of these men
when the park was swept by Wintry
blasts from the Arctic? How did they
keep warm? And where did they
sleep? And who fed them?
More questions than these flooded
1ras mind and occupied his thoughts
for an entire morning. And then an
idea flashed into his brain. Why not
find out? 1t would be an interesting
diversion. Something to do that was
different. He could trace one or two
of the Gentlemen of Leisure to their
lairs. Possibly write an article on his
findings. Yes, that was a splendid
plan! He could sell the article to a
local newspaper, or possibly to a
magazine. Excellent! With the money
he would buy the new tuxedo he had
been needing for over month.
Boiling with enthusiasm, Ira hied
himself to his apartment and began
preparations. First he meditated
further. Where would one be apt to
find Gentleman of Leisure on a
cold, Wintry day? Some place where
1t was warm, of course. Some build
ing where the public was permitted
to go and come at will. Moreover, a
building where crowds were frequent.
Excellent deducting. Excellent. Now,
then, where would such building be
located? The downtown distr t.?
Right.
Ira felt that he was getting close.
He considered the many downtown
public ediflces. And at last he set
tied on the Municipal Building. That
to him seemed the most likely to be
frequented by the gentlemen which
he wished to observe
From the rear of his clothes closet,
Ira brought to light an old suit. Not
too old, nor too shabby, but never
theless a suit that would not dis
or even the middle class. He had no
desire to be conspicuous in his role of
observer.
Thus dressed for the part, the young
man entered the Municipal Building
the following morning few minutes
after the establishment was opened
to the public. 1t was his first visit to
the place and he was quite pleas
antly surprised to find himself in a
spacious and elaborately decorated
marble hall. Directly ahead stairs
led to the floors above. To the right
and left corridors bisected walls that
were flanked with batteries of doors.
Also to the right and left, between
the doors, were wall radiators, and
before the right-hand radiator stood
two men.
Iras heart leaped Here was early
success! Here was evidence that his
careful deductions had been accurate!
For the two men were obviously of the
Gentlemen of Leisure clan.
Neither of the pair was especially
bright looking. They wore tattered
overcoats and rumpled trousers and
shoes with holes. Their battered hats
were pulled well down, shading faces
that were unaccustomed to the touch
of razor. They stood before the
radiator, stolid, serious looking, star
ing straight ahead, occasionally shift
ing from one foot to the other. less

Delighted with his find, Ira saunter-
ed to position near the left-hand

fidently he watched the front door, CIV

one. Occasionally he stole a look at
the gentlemen, wondering how long

once were hostile Stares. This was
little disturbing. He knew that II
they suspected, for a moment, his
purpose it would be useless trying to
continue with his plan. He pulled his
hat down over his eyes. He lounged.
He strove to make his expression blank
and phlegmatic. And after awhile
the gentlemen across the way seemed
to watch him with less hostility. Ira
smiled to himself He felt triumphant.
Some one touched his arm. He
looked up into the face of power
fully built individual, who was eyeing
him with cold accusation. The big
man had a hard face and thin lips.
And as Ira stared at him the thin
lips moved. "Scram, bum," they said.
Ira's heart skipped a beat. Good
Lord The unforeseen, unexpected
was happening! The big man was
obviously one of the plain-clothes
dicks" who he had heard were con-
stantly on duty in the Municipal
| Building. And the fellow had ap-
parently mistaken him for Gentle
man of Leisure Actually! Heavens!
His disguise and manner had been too
perfect He had fooled even the cops!
And now if this cop threw him out
his very purpose in coming there
would be defeated.
He smiled, wet his lips. Excuse
me-" he said, trying to appear con-
fldent. Il was waiting for some one"
He spoke softly because he didn't
want the gentlemen across the way
to have their suspicious aroused.
"Yeah?" said the big man. ''Who?"
Ira gulped. Who? Why-er-a
friend
Hal" The big man showed his
teeth. Sounds good. You been here
for almost an hour. What time you
supposed to meet your friend?'
Ira blinked. The big man had
come close to him, was bending over
with a very cold and hostile look in
his orbs Out of the corner of his eye
Ira could see that some of the pas
sersby were slowing down, staring
curiously. He had visions of scene,
of being packed off to the station
house, of being asked to explain his
presence at the Municipal Building,
of hearing the lieutenant on duty
laugh heartily, and later seeing the
story in the newspapers, accompanied
by his picture.
He wet his lips again. He looked
around once, glanced into the big
mans leering face, turned quickly and
headed doorward. Outside a cold
blast from the Arctic swept up the
street, bearing particles of ice and
snow They smacked against Ira's
hot face and felt good. He became
aware of sense of relief and thanks
giving at his narrow escape. He shiv-
cred, and decided suddenly he'd bet
ter go home and change from the old
suit of clothes, for more reasons than
one.
Behind him in the great marble
hall of the Municipal Building the
big man shrugged his shoulders, glanc-
ed triumphantly across the way to-
ward the two stolid Gentlemen of
Leisure, pulled down his hat and as
sumed the post quilted by Ira in front
Of the radiator No one, he was
thinking, was going to snitch his reg
ular stand-not and get away with it.
Presently the big man ceased think
ing and stared straight ahead, shift
ing occasionally from one foot to the
other and less frequently passing
word from mouth corner to mouth
corner with some passing Gentleman
of Leisure.
