Ideal Gift

I wanted a little something to tuck
in her stocking toe, something per-
haps that belongs to your province,
that's why I'm writing you. You see,

X X y X
Nice spirit-charming daughter
fortunate mother!
I would suggest beauty treat. not
in the form of a package at all, but
card. These gift cards are available
in the finest salons throughout the
country. They read: Dear So and
So: A permanent for you; or course
of facials; or any beauty services de-
sired, ETC." They are bought, paid
for and entitle recipient to the par
ticular service or services at her con-
venience.
If you know that mother needs the
relaxation and the feeling of luxury
that a good facial induces and if you
know, too, that she is lax in treating
herself to one (most mothers are just
too unselfsh to take the time and spend
the money! why, say to her: Here's
a treatment (Which should really be
spelled treat ment) for you.
If q permanent will make a more
glamorous person of her, a permanent
she should have.
Even a series of scalp treatments
or manicures can be provided for.
And, to mother this may seem a bit
frivolous, but have you ever noticed
how much younger and better groomed
the mater" looks with her eyebrows
arched (not an exaggerated arch
merely Cleaned" every once in so
often)?
While we are on the subject Of
beauty for kith and kin, if daughter
is home from SCI Dol for the holidays,
a little pre-holiday treat will make
her look all the prettier for the many
parties she is to attend. If had a
daughter of the college age would
treat her to the whole works" from
permanent and new "hair do" to
facial, brow arch, manicure, even a
pedicure and body massage. BY fat
terif1g her beauty and her ego, I'd
doubtless be f1attering myself. Not so?

Dorothy Dix Says
Women Generally Adopt Role of Martyr
More Easily Than Men.

bachelor regards himself as an object
Of envy.
And did you ever know a wife who
didn't have the martyr complex?
Well, perhaps, a few. Not many.
When married women forgather, their
chief topic of conversation is the
trials and tribulations Of matrimony
and what a poor, down-trodden wife
has to endure. The women who are
married to drunkards and philander-
ers simply gloat over their woes, but
even those who have good husbands
have sad tales to tell of cigarette
ashes on the rugs and trampling mud
into the kitchen and fussinesS about
food that makes the poor wife moth
ing but slave. Not Q word Of cheer
about good providers, and charge ac-
counts at the best stores, and cars,
ETC., etc. All gloom. Yet, strange to
say, when one Of these martyr wives
loses her husband, she rushes back
into the purgatory Of matrimony as
soon as she can.
X 4 4
PUT the headliners among the fem
mine martyrs are mothers. Not
once in blue moon do you meet a
mother who admits to enjoying her
children. She talks about them as If
they were burdens. She bemoans be-
ing tied down by babies. She dis
courses by the hour about the sacri-
fees a mother has to make for her
children, and how they never appre-
ciate what mother does for them, and
when they get married and go Of on
the business of life for themselves
mother sheds tears by the barrel, and
we mourn with her and poor mother"
her.
And why, we never know. Because,
in reality, mother wanted children.
Hers have been a crown of honor
to her, and she wouldn't have missed
having them for anything in the
world. All Of which leads us to the
conclusion that women are martyrs
because they enjoy martyrdom, and
that when they are most melancholy
they are having the time of their
lives. DOROTHY DIX,

I ton. For persons taking reducing
treatments three baths 0 week are
usually prescribed.
After you have relaxed in reclin-
ing position In the cabinet bath With
your head outside and steamed for
the required length Of time, the nurse
will give you soap hampoo, followed
by massage with soothing oils. This
you will love, and when you are ready
to leave you will be all aglow with
blood tingling through every part Of
your body.
This treatment with the addition Of
sulphur is said to be most beneficial

ONCE you are refreshed you will
again be interested in finishing
your Christmas shopping, and with
this in mind we have been looking
around to find group of gifts in
bright red wrappings that will look
particularly attractive around the tree.
Brightest and best is the lovely
manicure set at the bottom Of the
sketch in shiny red patent leather
case with Upper closing and its very
complete equipment. When closed it
has the appearance Of a handbag
with its strap across the back.
At the top is one of the most at
tractive Of the small beauty kits with
every requisite inside. The washable
white leathertte covering is tied with
red ribbon and spray of holly, and
you may have three red initials en-
graved on it if your order comes in
quickly.
The round container for talcum Is
also bright red with gold band
through it. Talcum powder is always
acceptable, and this is well suited to
the season.
The compact at the top is one of
the very attractive ones in red and
gold at 81. We also found cakes of
soap inclosed in red oiled silk bags
for convenience in travelling. These
make one more note of red, and are
nice small gift. The one we saw
contained q cake Of imported soap
pressed in the shape Of a rose, the set
costing IS cents.

Formal Note
Or Informal
Invit a tion
BY EMILY POST.

.DEAR MRS. POST: Isn't it correct
to suppose that an engraved in
vitation means a formal party? In
other words, wouldn't it be inconsistent
to engrave informal" at the lower
left of an invitation that is formally
worded? I hope I've made myself
clear.
Answer-Certainly party for which
the invitations have been completely
engraved would denote a formal party
very. A general utility card, which
is partially engraved and partly blank
so that day and hour and the kind
of party to be given is written in, is
also a very formal invitation. And
yet, with the word informal written
on it, it denotes a party at least as
informal as that indicated by an
invitation written on a visiting card.
y 4 y 4
Dear Mrs. Post: received present
from Mr.. Jones, my ex-employer, or
rather the card inclosed was double
one engraved Mr.. and Mrs, but a
present obviously bought by him. I
have never met nor even talked on
the telephone with his wife. Should
write the thank you note to Mr..
and Mrs. Jones or what am I sup
posed to do in such a case?
Answer-Strictly speaking, you
should write q note to Mrs. Jones and
thank her and Mr.. Jones for their
present. Or if you feel sure that
she had no part In sending it further
than his inclusion Of her name, you
might perhaps write him and, Of
course, include Mrs. Jones in your
thanks.
X X + n
Dear Mrs. Post: An old friend Of
my husband-whom I know but not
very well-has Just lost his wife, whom
also knew slightly. Would you
think it better that a note of con-
dolence be written by my husband or
by me?
Answer-I think it would be much
better that your husband write and,
Of course, include your condolences
with his.
Dear Mrs. Post: Just how far may
the typewriter be used in writing
social notes today?
Answer-Strictly, social notes should
never by typewriter. Invitations,
acceptances and regrets are written
entirely by hand or else partly en-
graved and partly written by hand.
or they are telephone, but they are
never tvpewritten. Notes Of thanks
or coincidence must, Of course, be
written by hand. 1npersonal Or
partially business notes, even though
they include Invitations or replies,
may be typewriter. !.

BY MARGARET WARNER,

IF CHRISTMAS shopping has got
you down, worn you to frazzle
and exhausted you mentally and
L physically. we advise you to treat
| yourself to an afternoon of and relax
| in a sulphur vapor bath that will
make a new person of you. You will
return home feeling perfectly marvel
Gus and ready for anything.
If you have caught bad cold going
from overheated shops out into the
freezing weather We have been having,
a single bath will relieve you and in
many instances completely cure the
cold
The sulphur vapor bath given in
this particular way is new to Wash
ington and is primarily health re-
storer and preserver.t Instead of going
away to a sulphur springs resort you
may now enjoy its benefits right at
home. Its effect is refreshing, invig-
Grating and scientific. Complying
with the laws of nature, this system
uses natural means to keep you
healthy-water, vapors, fresh air, per-
spiration and vibration. The prin-
ciple is to eliminate toxic poisons
through the millions of pores in the
body. without any weakening after
effects.
X r. 4 4
HEALTH and beauty go hand in
hand. It is not sufhcient to buy
expensive lotions, creams and pow
ders to put on skin that is bad be-
cause the entire system is below par
through faulty elimination Of impuri-
ties. We must go step further and
get at the root of the matter. In
Summertime the skin is very busy
throwing off impurities in the form Of
profuse perspiration, but in the Win
ter this process is retarded so that the
toxic poisons remain in the system,
causing all sorts of difficulties, such
as common colds and various un-
wanted aches and pains, and even
adding flesh that we do not need or
enjoy.
Many persons are availing them
selves Of these baths in order to re-
duce. One bath, they claim, will take
OF from one to five pounds, according
to the amount Of fluid contained in
the superfiuous flesh, so with an
average reduction Of two pounds
bath, you can figure it out for your
self how long it would take to reach
the figure that you have set as perfec-

Dry Skin
BY JAMES BARTON.

ONE Of the mean ailments that
comes with the cool or cold
weather is chapping Of the skin or
mucous membrane about hands, face
and lips.
There are tiny cuts in the skin or
mucous membrane which are some
times so severe that they are practical
ly like eczema. Fortunately they dis
appear with warm weather, but with
cold, damp weather these little cuts or
assures are so painful that "they get
on the nerves" Of the patients suf-
fering with them. These assures are
especially painful when about the
mouth or lips. There Is less moisture
in the air during the cold weather and
the patient easily acquires the habit
of moistening with his tongue the dry
surface containing the cuts. This, OF
course, only aggravates the symptoms.
That the diet may be q factor in
causing this condition is quite prob
able. because patients find that leay-
| ing certain articles of food from their
daily food intake seems to lessen the
symptoms. =.
The taking of baking soda, q half
teaspoonful about twice day, seems
to be helpful in some cases, which
would indicate that in these partieu-
lar cases anyway an acid condition
exists.
The skin should not be washed In
very cold or very hot water. Further,
1t is most important that the skin be
made perfectly dry after washing.
Drying the skin before the fire instead
of drying it gently and thoroughly
with a towel Is felt to be cne Of the
causes of this type Of skin irritation.
Some soaps do not agree with GER
tain skins and the individual should
avoid soaps which leave the skin with
o dry, trfitated feeling. Some Of the
common, everyday toilet soaps seem to
agree with the majority Of Individuals.
Soaps that are too alkaline should be
avoided. g = - -. :, -. -. =.
