.AUOid Stairs

Don't lift heavy burdens, in
the last few months before the
baby is expected, and don't climb
stairs more than you must.
Use common sense in your
physical activities, but by no
means resign them.
Women of wealth, the mis-
treSses of luxurious homes, can
command the best resources OF
science when their children are
born.
Yet this ordeal frequently is
more severe for such privileged
ladies than for farmers wives
or for plain Mrs. Jones in the
small community and the side
street.
The explanation in many
cases doubtless is that Mrs.
Farmer and Mrs. Jones have
neither time nor inclination to
lie around for nine months on a
couch and be waited on, while
priding themselves that they
are. performing their duty to
the race" They just go quietly
about their normal daily rou-
tine of helpful activity, and are
the better for it.
Necessity compelS most
women to behave SO. They can
not afford paraSitism even dur
ing pregnancy, but they have
no reason to regret the fact.

addition, herringbone effects
and over-plaids, which vary the
picture quite a bit, and make

from those worn last year.
Furthermore there are new
styles for more variety. The

with patch pockets.
This suit is shown with white
shoes, which do not show in the

striped shirt, and with a barred
knitted tie, the correct acceS-
sories to wear with it on a
cruise or in the south. 1t is

comment as her lovely hair to

fusion all over her head.
The jacket was three-quarter
length, flared at the hem, with
wide reverS and deep cuffs of
the same material. The skirt of

slightly flared and fell to the

was high.

Victim" has just come to me
from a girl of II who is about
to be married. 1t is a pitiful
cry from the heart of a human
being who is freedom-starved.
She writes:

years my senior. We are deep
ly in love with each other. But
am caught between two fires.

there is no escape? Tell me be-

Explosion
Human beings cannot be bot
tied up indefinitely without dan
ger of explosion. If this poor
child had been brought up un-
der the liberal conditions that
ninety out of hundred girls
today are familiar with, she
would never have developed
such case of filters in connec-
tion with marrying a man with
whom she is really in love.
And she would be far better
poised and equipped to handle
her marriage situation, whatever
it may prove to be.
A bridegroom with a tendency
to be an autocrat really would
MT have much chance, I think,
once married to a modern girl
accustomed to think and act for
herself.
But since Victim" is intelli-
gent and reasonable. besides be-
ing in love, I think decidedly
that she would better go ahead
with her marriage and do her
best to make a fine thing out of
it.
Marriage need never be a
trap" in this age and in this
country. This a nightmare fear.

It's unwise to lose faith in
dieting. A simple, wholesome
diet of fruit and vegetables,
avoiding pastries and rich foods
is important.
Exercise is important to help
stimulate the pores to activity
and, of course, the daily bath
followed by a cold shower or
sponge and brisk friction to
bring up the blood.

Shower Is
Feminine
Affair
BY MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I want to give my daugh-
ter a miscellaneous shower"
a week or so before she is
married. The question has
been raised as to whether an
affair of this type is for
women only or for women
and men?
Will you kindly inform me
as to which is correct, and, also
if a week or two prior to the
wedding is the proper timer
w.
A shower is such a very femi-
nine affair that usually only
women are invited to it. I
would, if 1 were you, abide by
that custom. However, some.
times a shower is given in the
afternoon, and the men are in.
vited to "join the ladies" at tea
afterward.
Is it customary in your com.
munity for the mother to give
a shower for her daughter?
Very often this relationship of
mother and daughter is con.
Sidered too close a one for the
giving of a shower. However,
this depends on the individual
point of view, and the custom
that prevails.
Yes this is usually about the
time for a shower, or perhaps
q bit earlier.

If she assumes that role, she
is likely to have a worse time
when her baby comes than the
woman who during pregnancy
has not Shirked carrying a rea-
sonable load of home duties and
responsibilities.
When she keeps in close
touch, as she should, with a doc
tor in whom she has confidence,
he will warn her if he finds that
she is overworking.
But he also will advise moder-
ate exercise, and one simple,
generally practical form Of sucn
exercise consists of the perfor-
nance Of a housewives ordinary
tasks.

On the Stairs
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is 1t necessary for a gentle.
man, when driving a cars, or
merely riding in one, to lift his
hat when passing a very good
friend, a young lady, either in
another car or if she happens
to be walking? Should he wait
for recognition from the lady
first before lifting his hat?
Should a gentleman follow a
lady upstairs or precede her?
When a gentleman shows
other gentlemen callers, who
have come to visit him, into a
room, should he follow them or
precede them?
Does the same apply when ad-
mitting lady callers? x. w.
A man waits for the woman
to make the sign of acquain-
tanceship, and when she does
bow to him, he raises his hat as
he bows, whether he is walking
or driving in a car.
This is a moot point, and in
this country there is no definite
rule about it. Personally think
that a gentleman should go
first up stairs or down stairs.
If they are unfamiliar with
the house, it is better for the
host to precede. AS matter of
fact, this is always correct, for
it is usually the more convenient
thing.
Yes.

Bath Salts
Soften
Water
By JULIET SHELBY

1t seems as if Hollywood
is always trying to steal
talent from Broadway, or
vice versa. And now it is
Broadway's good fortune to
have kidnapped pretty
Constance Cummings for the
current Accent On Youth. -
And accent on youth she is.
She is as fresh as q daisy,
and one can readily tell that
her grooming is never neg
lected! Clear, beautiful skin,
young eyes and Starched ruf-
fles-she belongs in a vine
covered bungalow instead OF on
Broadway. But on Broadway
she is, entertaining thousands
in her fascinating way.
But let's peer into her
boudoir and nose about among
her cosmetics. After all, we
want to know how she creates
this aura of fresh girlhood.
AS you might suspect, she
begins at the beginning! That
is, with her daily bath. For
here are beautifully scented in
dividual bath salts tablets
tablets that soften the water
as we'll as scent it. Just one
to a bath-and her first step
to perfect grooming is COM
pleted.
An individual bath tablet is
a good idea, for it prevents
over-perfuming and it has just
enough Softening power for one
tub of water. Twelve come in
a box. and when you stop to
figure it out, the 1uxuriously
scented, Softened, Tubing costs
you but a few cents! There
are four fresh fragrances from
which to choose.
How would a bath in lilacs
or roses feel to you after an
exhausting day before a gala
evening? How would you like
to awaken and smell wet lilacs
or dew-ladened roses? Just
hop out of bed and drop a tab
let in your morning plunge,
then Snuggle back under your
covers until your bath is drawn.

Soft-Hearted Handling of
Aliens Should Be StOpped

To the Editor of The Star:
We read very interesting and appro-
pirate letter in The Star by Mrs Anna
Adams on deportation of undesirables
and keeping out newcomers
We learn it is up to the Department of
Labor to handle and deport foreigners
making unlawful entry into this country
but when there is soft-hearted woman
as Secretary of Labor what else than the
present condition can be expected
The last published account of idle for
eigners in this country ran up to three
and one-half millions on relief, and not
only that, but every foreigner in this
country holding down job also keeps
a citizen out of a job.
We also read of foreigners entering this
country and marrying citizens, and the
Labor Department says that prevents de-
portation, so there you are, and if this is
the law then Congress should take action
foreigners, unnaturalized, cannot vote
so why be biased.
The United States of America has for
years been the dumping ground for the
offscourings from every country on the
face of the globe and it is time we pattern
after other countries by putting our
G-men on their tracks.

Communism and Atheism
Not Necessarily Related

To the Editor of The Star:
The most recent objections of Repre-
sentative Randolph to the teaching of
communism" in our public schools, as re-
ported in The Star of November 4, 1885,
again bring up the common fallacy that
communism is atheiStic or that atheism
is communistic.
It may be news to most Christians of
the present day that the earliest Chris
tians were communistic (see Acts, ii, a.
As; iv, 80, 34-37; v, LID. The teachings
of Jesus himself were decidedly anti
capitalistic (see Matt. xix, 10, 81, 23;
Mark, x, 81, %: Luke, vi. 20, a. 29-30;
xii, 80; xviii, %, 24. The most sue
cessful communistic experiment in the
United States, the Amana colonies in
Iowa, was religious in nature and origin,
and the Zion City experiment in Illinois
likewise seems to be patterned on the
teachings in Acts, iv and v.
On the other hand, there are thou
sands of skeptics agnostics and atheists
in this country and elsewhere who do not
believe in communism.
In general. the facts show that there
is no inherent or necessary relationship
between communism and skepticism.

The Missing Airmen.

Sir Charles Kingsford Smith is missing
in his flight from London to Australia.
Since Thursday, when he left Allahabad,
India, for Singapore, there has been no
report from him, save one that indi-
Gated that his plane was fighting a
storm in the neighborhood of Penang.
It is feared that the winds were too
strong for the machine and that a
descent to the surface of the sea was
forced, which would probably have been
disastrous in the event of high waves
resulting from the storm. Yet there is
some comfort in the assurance that has
Evening star., 1935-11-09

been given that the plane is capable OF
standing severe punishment from the
sea. Mention is made in the dispatches
of the fact that the waters over which
this gallant pilot and his aide were
fiying are thickly infested with sharks.
They would probably have no terrors
for the aviators in case OF forced
descent at sea, if the plane held together.
Kingsford-Smith knows the al: route
between England and Australia thor
oughly, having made several flights be-
tween those points. Once before ne
was given up for dead. In March, 1929,
he and three others set out from Aus
tralia to make record between the
antipodes. Their plane was forced down
in a severe storm on the northeast coast
of Australia, in one of the most inacces-
sible regions in the world, and for twelve
days they were hunted with planes
securing the area from which they had
last sent reports. They could hear the
radio messages that were being sent from
the searching planes and thereby learned
that they were in cannibal country,
but they could not respond. Finally
they were sighted by one Of the search
ing planes and were rescued. Twelve
days later Kingsford-Smith and his men
made fresh start for England and
set new record, with slightly more than
twelve days flying time.
Kingsford- Smiths achievements are
so numerous and have been accom-
plished in such hard conditions that 1t
is difficult to mark any one of them as
conspicuous. He has the ideal airman's
temperament, courageous, skillful and
shrewd in his calculations and manipu-
lation of weather conditions. There will
be universal sorrow if it should prove
that he has finally met his match in the
elements that it has been his JOY to brave
and to conquer.
