Using Correct
Signature
RS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
senea1. Mrs Reeckman:

ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
How should I sign q business
letter written to my employer
Mrs. James F.. Role or Mrs. Flea
nor Lewis Role Oewis being my
maiden name)? I have been sign
ing letters to my employer like
this: Mrs. Eleanor Role. Is that
very wrong?
How should my name be print
ed on a business calling card. AS
representative for a certain COM
pany? Should 1t be: Eleanor
Lewis Role or CMrs) James
Role? r.
Since your employer undoubt-
edly knows your formal name, the
following is the correct signature
for you to use in a letter to him:
Eleanor Lewis Role.
If your employer is not familiar
with your formal name, or il for
any other reason it seems wise for
you to include it in your sigma
ture, then this is the correct form:
Eleanor Lewis Role.
(MrS. James F. Rolle)
It is definitely incorrect for you
to sign Mrs. Eleanor Role to a
letter to your employer, or a letter
to anyone else. no matter what
type of letter you write. The Mrs.
should never be used as part OF
the direct signature of a letter.
The form of your name on a
business card should be the form
of name you use as representa-
tive of your company. If you use
your formal name, then your card
reads MRS. James Role" (the
Mrs" not incloSed in parenthe-
ses); and if you don't use your
formal name, then Eleanor Lewis
Role" is correct.

CLOTHES all over the world
mean the same thing to women,
said Nine. Vieilleville in reporting
the fashion heartbeats of French
women" but, she added that un-
like the American woman, the
French woman desires more than
ANYTHING else to look unlike her
best friend and to receive credit
herself for the choice Of her selec'
tion rather than advertising her
dressmaker. Nothing would IN
furiate.. a French woman more
than to go to a party and nave 10
face another woman wearing the
same model. A label itself IN
France means nothing. Only good
taste and discrimination and IN
0ividual styles are approved. The
Partisan accepts only what Is oe'
coming to her."
According to Type
This, she pointed out, makes IL
impossible in Paris for women
aged is to 81 and ranging in size
from 12's to 44's to select the same
lines and colorS.
"French women do not want to
be told by their dressmaker wnat
they should wear. They are born
with a fashion instinct. The filter
a. thoroFora mora impOrtant than
the salesman"
Although a new fashion in Paris
NAV set the transatlantic cables
buzzing, it is q matter Of relatively
little interest to the Parisienne.
American buyers may be tearing
their hair to snap up the new
fashion and ship it quickly across
the ocean but the French woman
remains calm for II the fashlon
does not live up to her require
ments, she will never wear it, no
matter what a sensation it is.
Every designer IN Paris has
three classes of clients, this
speaker said. They are real ladies
with chic and distinction Tor
whom clothes are an artistic prob
lem and a way to amplify their
beauty: the mass Of women who
make volume purchases, and the
foreign buyers. Money is not for
them the sole object Of life, be
cause if it were they would have
changed their occupations a long
time ago."
And in New York
New York and the demands
upon the fashion creator were
covered by Muriel King in her
talk. She said: I'm New York
we are continually pressed for
time and space. The tempo has
a terrific effect on our way OF
living and our way Of dressing.
Everyone of us in tizzy to get
sone place. We cover many miles
in mood and atmosphere every
day. Everything is done as II 1t
must be done before it all stops!
IF one of us designers had to
design one dress for one woman
to express her life in New York
during one day, it would have to
be a brisk and buSinesslike cos
tune. calm and simple. sophisti-

girlish, gay and debonair, fascin-

added that she much hoped no
one would ask her to do this.

She quickly ran over some OF
the relatively simple orders New
Yorkers place:

Note
Of Thanks
BY MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN

"Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 wonder if you will help me
write a letter to a young man
in another city whom 1 have
seen only once. He took me to
a dance when 1 was in his city,
and when 1 returned home, 1
wrote him a note thanking him
for helping to make my visit
more enjoyable. Was that cor
rect?
"He answered my note with
a short letter and asked me TO
write to him so that he would
be sure to know when / was
coming back to his city. Should
1 write to him? If so, could you
help me ana tell me what to
say? How long should wait
before answering? en-"
Yes, it was thoroughly proper
and decidedly gracious of you
to write this young man a note
thanking him for his friendliness
and hospitality. But since you
have seen him only once, you
shouldn't be over-eager to write
to him often, or to appear to be
forcing a correspondence on
him.
Wait some weeks and then
write him a friendly and chatty
note, impersonal but Of course
not formal. And you might send
a greeting card when you go
away on your vacation, and at
Christmas time.

CONSULT FIANCEE

"Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"IS it considered improper to
have a shower for a friend who
has announced her engagement
but has not set a date for her
wedding? M"
If you know that the wedding
is to take place fairly soon,
then it would be quite proper
to plan shower for the pros
pective bride. Showers are Gus
tomarily given in the few weeks
before the wedding.
The wistest thing for you to
do is to consult the bride-to-be
about this. If the engagement
is to be a rather long one, she
will probably prefer to have you
wait until a month or three
weeks before the wedding date
before you give your shower.
MRS. Beeckman will be glad
to answer questions on good
manners submitted by readerS).

If there's a likelihood Of

chrysanthemums bloom. break
off the stems of the flowers
fairly close to the ground.
Then put them in deep jars OF
water and keep them in a cool,

way, the buds should open to

paler than if they had bloomed

Chrysanthemums are lowell

OF FATIGUE
Ry DONNA GRACE

This is the time of the year
we begin to show signs of
fatigue from the changes in
our habits and change in diet
due to the weather. Some of
us are "all tired out" from our
vacation and the strong rays of
the sun and strenuous sports.
Whatever the cause may be,
we are listless and show lack
of vitality that needs some kind
of rejuvenation, if we wish to
wear our smart fall outfits with
the right flair.
There is a clever little trick
in picking ourselves up," as
it were. One that will give us
plenty of energy and, best of
all, will tone up and clear the
skin beautifully. It is a COM
plexion diet! You will be
amazed at the result and how
improved you will look and
feel.
There is, of course, some re-
striction and leannesS about
your food, but it is for so short
a time you will not mind; so
start right and stick to it closely
every day.
Dear Donna Grace: I wish
you would help me with my
hair. For a long time 1 have
been using Egyptian henna to
give it a little reddish tint, and
the last time 1 put it on I think
1 left it on too long. So now my
hair is real red, and l am just
sick about it. 1 wouldn't mind
so much but my father is furl-
GUS with me. What can 1 do,
Donna Grace? HELENA.
Dear Miss Helena: Fortu-
nately for you, it was Egyptian
henna that you used. That will
wear off in time if nothing is
done, but several hot oil treat
ments followed by good sham
poos should remove it in
short time. Do not use bleaches
or dyes to change the color, as
neither can be removed by
ShampooS.
