The Congress liked plain
felt hats that were shown too.
And they were most particular
about little things such as rib
bon bands. They had to match
or harmonic with the costume,
as much as the hat.
Plain Shoes Best
Sports shoes were much liked,
and in rearlv every case, brown
and white were PREFER e d.
Several judges said they would
like plain white shoes with
white costumes, but if the cos
tune had a touch of brown, tan
of even yellow, they preferred
brown and white.
Handbags were considered
too, and they were unanimous
in preferring very simple bags,
always in keeping with the cos
tune. Contrasting colors were
all right, but there must be no
hapha2ard putting things to-
gether. they must be carefully
planned.

Dear Miss Fairfaxf


MY wife and I have been
married for 10 years, and used
to be very happy, although We
have long since outgrown our
wild devotion.
The thing that worries me,
however, is that we seem to be
drifting apart, as far as our
interests are concerned.
I am becoming more and
more engrossed with business,
which often keeps me away
from home. and my wife's only
interests apparently are her
club and church affairs. 1
should like things to be diff
ferent. HUSBAND.
The reason your wife has
taken up club and church work
with such fervor is, perhaps, be-
cause you have been so engrossed
in business and she is lonesome
but too proud to say so.
Why not travel back over the
years and try to remember the
things you used to do that made
her happy. Theater tickets,
candy and flowers that you used
to send, kilograms and long-dis.
tance calls when you are away.
Try all these things again.

Stars Care
For Own
Hands
By JULIET SHELBY

Elizabeth Allan, the young
screen star, whose latest pic
ture is David Copperfield,
cares for her own lovely
hands!
You probably think that
all screen stars spend fabu-
lous sums and too many
hours in beauty salons &C
quiring the glamour they
portray in the pictures you
see. Most of them don't.
Most of them have learned
how to care for their beauty
with the minimum of effort in
their own homes. Naturally,
elaborate coiffures, which are
necessary for the roles they
play, are set by master hands,
but there, usually, beauty as
SiStanCe ends.
OHdSSuH1IHR
Take. for instance, Miss Al
Ian. She is a wholesome, unas-
Suming girl who still retains a
love for the simple life of Eng.
land, where she was born and
educated. She detests obvious
artificial beauty-so much so
that she doesn't ever put mas
cara on her lasheS unless she Is
being filmed.
She has studied her particu.
lar type of beauty and realizes
that the more naturallooking
she can keep herself, the more
alluring she will be in both her
screen and social life. And
what a wise child she is! But
don't think for a minute she
slackens up on the little de-
tails of grooming. No, indeed.
she goes through daily routine
that keeps her beauty intact.

He Worries Because
They Drift Apart

turn upP I never step out on
her, but am now considering
making dates with other girls,
since she has pointed out the
way to "the more, the merrier."
S. o. 8.
AS have quoted numbers Of
times in this column, there is
truth in the old adage, Whats
sauce for the goose is sauce for
the gander." If this young lady
insists on making dates with
other young men, you are GER
tainly free to go out with other
girls.
Modern young people who are
engaged, do not hold to the eX-
elusive policy of the last gen
Grafton. If she goes out with
other young men only occasion
ally, she may really care for
you, as you hope she does, but
if she makes a practice Of do
ing this, do not wonder you
consider breaking your engage
ment.
Why not have a straight talk
with this very modern young
lady?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
My young sister works in an
office with a man three times
her age. He is actually a grand
father and a harmless old fell
low, but he is always inviting my
sister and the other girls of the
office to go out with him for an
ice cream or some soft drink.
Is it proper for her to go with
him, as they are both employed
by the same firm? She is 21S
he is 10. OLDER SISTER.
An old gentleman of 10 who
enjoys soft drinks seems safe to
me. And I should not discour-
age this shaft of bright light
in the grandfather'S life.

STATIONERY
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
This letter-paper that I am
using has my husbands in
1t1alS on it. Is this proper for
me to use, or should my let
ter-paper have my own initials
on it?
Is this type of letter-paper
correct for a woman to use or
Is the smaller folded kind bet
ter? II,
No, 1t is not proper for you
to use this letter-paper with
your husbands initials en-
graved on it. This is your
husbands PERSONAL paper. It
is correct for husband and
wife to use the same letter
paper when it carries their ad.
dress engraved on it-"house"
letter paper.
The letter paper you used is
appropriate for a man, with
the notwithstanding initials,
and the large size of sheet.
For your own use. if you are
to have monogrammed paper,
you should choose paper of
conventional size, appropriate
for your handwriting and to
the usual letter that you write,
and double-sheeted.
The most convenient thing
to plan is to have some paper
for the usual letter and some
of double sheets half that size,
to fit unfolded into the same
envelope as the larger size fits
in folded once. This smaller
size is called seminole paper.

Suggestions
For Accuracy

The success or failure Of a
recipe depends largely on accur"

Standard measuring spoons
and cups should be used. Un-
less otherwise specified in the
recipe, all measurements are to
be level for all ingredients. To
obtain level measurements,
draw the straight edge OF a
knife or spatula over the sur
face of the spoon or knife,
making the contents level.

Oily Hair
Dear Miss Shelby:
1 wonder if you would give
me some advice on how to
treat fine and oily hair. My
hair is in uneven lengths and
is hard to keep looking nice.
Do you think it would be better
to have it cut? 1 have worn it
long for about four years.
Sincerely,
Dear r. W.:
Cutting or trimming your
hair might be very good for it
and it would make it easier to
treat.
Oily hair is due to a relaxed
condition of the sebaceouS
glands of the scalp. This may
be an inherited tendency or It
may be due to faulty circula-
ton or an overly rich diet.
The best remedies are weekly

Pineapple is
Adaptable
Fruit
By BETSY CAsWELL
WOmdn's Page Editor

From HAWAII comes TO us
q truly delightful addition
to our food family-fresh
pineapple juice.
This juice is entirely diff
ferent from the liquid found
in cans of sliced or crushed
pineapple, in that it is a
NATURAL juice.
BY that, we mean that the
Juice is vacuum packed, exactly
as it is extracted from the ten
der, sun-ripened pineapples, and
no sweetening or artificial flavor
is added. There are also no pre-
servatives added to the liquid,
for the vacuum packing retains
in high degree the proved nutri-
tive content of the fruit juice.
This is one reason that the
fresh pineapple juice is so good
for both adults and young chill
dren. 1t is rich in food acids,
and natural fruit sugars, hav-
ing a final alkaline reaction in
the body which tends to offset
the effects of acid-producing
foods.
There are many ways in
which this pineapple juice may
be utilized in the home. You
may drink it for breakfast, cold
and bracing; use it in cocktails
before dinner; in frozen des'
serts; in sauces and dressings;
in jellies and confectionery-its
possibilities are amazing.
AS as example-juSt try this
dessert at your next party, if
you want something really un-
usual and delicious:
pineapple Sabayon"
2 egg yolks
l teaspoon lemon juice
12 cup pineapple juice
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch of salt
! teaspoon vanilla
Few drops rum flavoring
Beat yolks of eggs until thick
and creamy, add sugar and place
in top of double boiler and con-
tinue to beat. Add the pineapple
Juice and the flavoring. Remove
beater, and stir well with a
wooden spoon for 2 minutes
longer. Keep water in the bot
tom Of the double boiler below
boiling point or the mixture will
curdle. Serve hot in small sher-
bet glasses, with lady fingers,
or thin waters.
This may also be used as a
sauce for bread or fruit pud.
