OLD FAVORTTES

Sweet sixteen is shy and cold,
Calls ''sir," and thinks me old;
Hears in embarrassed way
All the compliments pay;
Finds my homage quite BORE
Will not smile n me, and more
To her taste she finds the noise
And the chat of callow boys
Not the lines around my eye
Deepening the years go by;
Not white hairs that strew my head
Nor my less elastic tread;
Cares find, joys I miss
Make me feel my years like this:

SILENCE HOLDS
/ PLANE STATE

NEW YORK, Nov. 26 U.S).
There still was no word today
from Lincoln Ellsworth and his
pilot, Herbert Hollick-Kenyon,
who left Dundee Island early Sat
urday morning to fly across Ant
arctica.
A message from his supply ship,
the Wyatt carp. to the New York
Times said that it was believed by
members Of the expedition, who
were at the Dundee Island base,
that Ellsworth was safely en-
camped at the Bay Of Whales,
Admiral Byrd's Antarctic base,
and the objective of the flight.
When last heard from at 1O:48
q. m, Saturday, the Ellsworth
plane was flying well in clear
weather. and there was level
country ahead. The long silence
is attributed to the failure OF his
radio set.

AUOWed to HOWL

At night the babies go to
sleep in a quiet, darkened room,
and If one Of them decides to
whimper about it that's just too
bad. The gentle but firm dis
cipline is never relaxed, not even
"'for once"
It doesn't often happen, but
when one of the quintuplets
howlS for no reason at all except
to get her way, she is allowed to
howl until she chooses to stop.
Her way she does not get.
This attitude is in direct con-
trast to that of many a mother,
who weakly gives in to the pres
sure Of noise, picks up the baby
and tries to soothe her. The
baby, having learned how to get
results, does not easily forget
the lesson.
Sometimes, Of course, the
mother is on spot, as in the
case Of the poor woman who
complained to a clinic doctor
about her sons crying at night.
"What do you do with him?"
asked the doctor.
"Take him up" the woman
answered, YEARLY.
'But don't you know that's
the worst thing you could do?
Don't you know that there's
nothing the matter with the
boy, except that he's pulling
your Lego" the physician pro-
tested.
The mother shrugged YEARLY.
"We're ON relief" she said.

Shall She Make Up Or Sue?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
We were engaged, but when
I found out he was going with
another girl, he stopped writ
ing to me. We were to be mar.
ried this month, but I guess
that's all off now.
What would you advise me
to do-go back and talk these
things over with him, or sue
him for breach of promise?
I have no ring from him, but
I have all Of his letters promis-
ing to marry me. In spite of
everything I still love him, and
I kno wthe girl he is going with
is just taking him around as q
pocketbook to pay the bills.
r. T. A.
Breach of promise suits are
going out Of fashion, my dear
girl, and I think it would go
harder with you than with the
young man if you should bring
this matter into court.
Judges and juries regard young
ladies who put a money value
on their affections as gold-dig-
gers. The sentimental days,
when the girl won the suit, seem
to have passed.
Talk the matter out with him
If you feel that would ease your
mind, but let me remind you
that an engaged man, who can
be whistled off by one girl, is
also likely to be whistled off
when he is married.

gorgeous dancing skirts about
her pretty figure-in fact, she
is almost an old-faShioned girl
Hollywood is amazed to learn
that she prefers to stay at home
to read or dance barefooted to
the photograph records she
loves.
She is young-very young
and she is preserving that tai
ent which is her fortune. No
late hours, cigarettes or alcohol!
her skin is beautifully clear and
well-groomed, and she confesses
that after a soothing bath she
hops into bed and sleeps for
hours and hours.
Her skin tends to dryneSs, so
she takes every precaution to
keep the natural oils intact.
Her bathing water is soft.
while the rich consistency OF
the soap she chooses does not
rob her skin of the required oil
and is fragrant enough to please
her. This charming dancer is
one girl who prefers an I'm,
scented bath! Instead, she
chooses soap that has a fresh
fragrance.
It would be a good thing If
all girls would pretend they
were MARCOS; for dancers must
keep the skin of the entire body
soft and smooth.
They do this by bathing in
soft, tepid water-never hot
and by choosing bath acids that
are kind to the skin-eSpecially,
soaps that are softening, pure,
and scented with a genuine
eSsence-such as the soap Mar
go chooses.
Not new on the market, but
still not commonly used, is
soap that is a delightful bath
aid. It is a superfatted cream
soap, scented with an eau de
cologne that is famous for its
individual fragrance. Women
with sensitive or dry skin, or
skin that has been too long
exposed to the sun, find it de.
lightful.
It is Just the soap that
pleases Margo-that lovely
skinned, old-fashioned girl who
dances the rhumba with fiery
rhythm.

When Manners

Mourning

Mourning
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
My mother-in-law died recent.
ly, and one of my brothers and
his wife called me Stupid and
ignorant" for not wearing
mourning. What do you think?
Could you make me feel better
about this? How shall I prove
to them that was right
MARY.
Your brothers and his wife's
criticism of you is thoroughly
unwarranted, and definitely I'M
fair. In these days mourning is
not very often worn, and we
seldom see deep mourning"
1t all depends on what we
choose to do, and what we
choose to do is proper and right,
if we conduct ourselves with
dignity, and with respect for the
one who has gone from us. OF
course We don't wear gay and
giddy colors; but, on the other
hand, neither do we swathe our.
selves in the heavy-hearted
crepe that is so Unnecessarily de-
pressing to our friends.
This is the modern idea In
mourning forms, the wise GUS
tom that has been considered
proper and reasonable for quite
a few years. Far from being
stupid and ignorant" this is
the way of intelligence-to give
people the privilege of mourn
ing as they wish, in their hearts
and spirits, in their attitude of
respect, where it is important,
rather than in the wearing of
sombre clothes, where it may
be important to us, or where
it definitely may not be.
It is for us to decide, to
choose. And no one has the
right to criticize us, unless in
our way of conducting our
selves, we show lack of taste or
lack Of respect, or lack of
appropriate mannerliness. But
people nowadays, people who
know what's what, do not criti.
else other people for lack of
black clothes!
