Velvet a FGUOrite

Velvet and satin make many
wraps, velvet particularly, and
it is plain or quilted. Satin is
most often quilted, and if heavy
crepe is used, it will be quilted
too for more body and a warmer
look. Metals are used, but
more often than not they match
the gown, and they, too, may
be quilted.
Popular favor seems to be
divided between the long hood
ed capes and little swagger
jackets, whatever material the
jackets may be made of. The
capes, copied from the afore-
mentioned Schiaparelli cape,
are nearly always Of velvet, and
the hood is of the velvet or
of white fur. It drops down on
the shoulders to make a grace

Beauty

Habits
By DONNA GRACE

We believe there is often not
quite enough attention given to u,
the beauty problems Of. the veryt
young schoolgirl. The girls
around the ages of from 9 to is
are the ones we mean.
She is proud of her hair and
eyes and the way she walks and
of everything that may attract at
tention to herself. This is
natural trait in every young per.
son,
Cleanliness is the point to
stress. She must know that
daily baths are a part of her
routine.
Her nails should be trimmed
carefully so the delicate struc-
ture will not be injured. Then
the cuticle may be pushed back
gently with blunt, smooth
orangewood stick. The tips must
be kept thoroughly clean, but no
polish or colors should be used.
She will appreciate and use a
manicure set of her own.
Her teeth must be cleansed
night and morning and after
each meal.
Teach her to cut her toenails
straight across and never pointed ,
or oval. They also are cleaned with i,
the orangewood stick when she
has her bath.
Soap and water is all she needs
for her skin, but let h er under
stand that the soap must be rinsed
off thoroughly or it may irritate
the skin and enlarge the pores.
The hair may be kept soft and
beautiful if it is given good care.
so show her how to brush and
comb it wit h thorough strokes
that will not scratch or irritate
the scalp.
The eyelaShes may be brushed
frequently with castor oil so they
will grow long and heavy.
Bath powders and a mild toilet
water is the only scent she will
use.

"YOurs,
Miserable"
All the Washington PAGERS
publish a list of club activities.
And there are clubs which cover
almost every phase of entertain
ment here in the National Capt.
tai.
There are hiking clubs, debat-
ing clubs, home economic and
domestic science clubs, not to
mention clubs which take into
account music, art and the
drama.
It is comparatively easy for
any respectable person to join
one or more of these organiza-
tions. Look up the club news in
The Washington Times and get
in touch with the proper club
officials.
All churches have club activi-
ties, and are especially receptive
to strangers.

who want some warmth when
cold winds blow, or when they
are in rumple seats. And a prac-
tical idea it is, too.
There are many long velvet
wraps, either with or without
fur, that are being bought by
Washington women. Some are
on princess lines, few Of them
belted, and they are all long
enough to cover your dress
There's considerable variety in
them in spite of the fact that
such wraps have been worn for
about two years, and the new
are quite different from the two
year-olds, too.

particularly. On Connecticut
Avenue you find Schiaparelli's
hooded velevt cape, complete
with padding and all. the
cape that was such a success
at her recent opening. But we
can't all have that, so we shop
further.
Fur evening wraps are su-
preme, of course, and silver fox
capes vie with Ermine capes
and coats this year. I find
that swaggers of errnine, about
hip length or a little longer,
seem the smartest, and they
often have bell or open sleeves,
and little standing collars. OF
course there's really no rule
for ermine, for anything you
can get of it is bound to be
lovely.

NOTES BY NoTABLEs

"The warrior eats the heart
of his enemy to add to his own
courage. As q system of treat
ment this came to be known as
Opotherapy. VOLTS liver was
prescribed for diseases Of that
organ, hare's brain for nervous
ness, and fOx's lungs for res
piratory disorders.
'It is historically interesting
that modern medical interest in
the internal SecretiOnS grew out
of the ancient practice of
OpOtherapy. Browns equard
was a French psychologist, who
at one time was professor at
Harvard University. Later he
established himself in Paris,
where he carried out a series
Of brilliant researches. Toward
the end of his life he was over
taken by general debility and
was led to treat himself by in
lection of sex glands. The ex-
periments were reported before
the SOciete de BiOlOgie Of Paris
on May 81, 1850 date that
is sometimes cited as the birth

Black Suit

There's nothing like a neat
black suit with dreSsmaker
touches as the foundation for
an autumn wardrobe. A nice
suit is in dull black cloth with
a fitted. buttoned jacket which
has an enormous collar,
pointed at either side and
draped about the throat. The

the suit is worn with black

please tell me how the we'd

Why not have the wedding cake
as the central decoration for the
table? 1t is charmingly effec-
tive when used in this way, and
dramatizeS it's significance.
If the occasion is an informal
one, for instance, if the affair
is held in a tea room or in the
main dining room Of a hotel, it
is better form for the women
guests. who probably will be in
formally dressed to wear their

When we pass our plate for
a second helping. the knife and
fork are left on the plate, placed
as securely as possible so that
they will not be pushed from the
plate as it is being passed. This
means that the knife and fork
are placed together, in the center
of the plate, the knife on the
right and The fork on the left,
as they would be at the place,
parallel to each other, and the
handles turned bit to the right.

When she saw the clock on the dash,
she laughed and called Lees atten-
ton to it. "Five o'clock. thought
aviators had to keep their clocks and
watches right on the dot" Oddly
enough, she did not look at her own
watch. They had been at the Wash
ington airport at $3.50, which. she
assumed, had been some 80 minutes
ago. But as she, had lost her sense
Of time, she also lost her sense OF
direction.
They passed many towns. The first
thing that caught AIMS attention
when another came into view was the
long wide avenue that ran through
its center and on which q majority
Of the many white houses faced. She
gripped Lees arm as she said. Can
you see out this side, Lee?"
VERY pretty town." Lee said. Lot
Of those in New England"
That's what mean" Suppressed
excitement was in her voice. Its
laid out exactly hke-like Elmv1lle
{. Even the two churches OH
you've no idea how much it looks
like home
Her face was pressed against the
glass. her whole body aquiver with
the wonder of the amazing similarity.
Lee watched her, smiling, fascinated
by her utter naturalness. She was
as unselfconscious as child. and as
eager and spontaneous in her every
word and gesture.
Not moving, she cried, IT can even
see the little house that would be
ours -"
We'll 60 down and have closer
look" Lee said. The plane inclined
slightly and began. a wide circle
around the village below, but the
altimeter still registered $500 feet.
He was looking for something, a golf
course, or base ball diamond Or
THAT will serve" he thought as
his eyes unexpectedly came to VIDE,
open field. Rough, probably, but
with luck a fair take-off."
The nose of the plane was dropping,
steadily. No longer was the town vlsi-
BILE to Ann. She swung around.
1T know you think I'm being awfully
silly, but you can't begin to under
stand how like home that place Is.
It's uncanny, Lee!"
Twice she saw the scattered houses
slip by at a distance and each time
they seemed larger ana even more
familiar.
You're not going to land -
It was a hope and plea.
why not? We're IN no hurry

plane, dad" she told him then. "It's
perfectly safe, isn't it?"
"Of course, it's safe" He put
finger under his wife's chin and made
her look at him. Tell you what I'll
do. You keep Ann here and I'll go
back with Lee Monday. How's that?"
AIMS question was out before she
knew it. do you like him, dad?"
Lee Monday? Say, he's my idea
-" He was suddenly silent, staring
into AIMS eyes. Look here, Ann"
But Ann checked him. Don't get
silly notions in your head. He's simply
being nice and I'm letting him." They
heard Lees voice raised in laughter
in the front room. We've simply got
to rescue him from that mob" she
said, quickly. He said he wanted
to leave by T."
It was almost Q o'clock before the
plane roared down the narrow lane
marked by three lanterns on either
side and suddenly zoomed up into the

Ann settled back comfortably. She
was happy-incredibly happy. Only
her mothers parting whisper had
marred the moment Of good-bys: "Tell
Mr.. Monday to be careful, Ann. I'm so
terribly afraid something will happen" /"
"As IT," Ann thought now, smiling,
anything could possibly happen with
Lee Monday at the controls"
The rising wind they faced as they
made their way to the plane had
meant nothing to Ann.

q plan adequately rewarded by AIMS
evident excitement. Curious, now ne
enjoyed watching her. Curious be-
cause he could not understand MS
own feeling toward her. There had
been many girls in his life, there
would be many more. But there mao
never been another quite like this un-
spoiled child, and he doubted there
would ever be another Ana yet,
reasonably, he could not be seriously
interested in her. He was quite sure
Of this, and while the plane came
around in a flnaI bank ana suddenly
leveled of, he reflected that they,
he and Ann, had nothing IN common
but youth and love OF life ana that
most unusual meeting in Mollie VIM
slows living room. She was fun be-
cause she was different; but 1t was
not distinction that carried beyond
the movement. In a few days he
would fly back to the coast and little
Ann Rogers would be an episode-a
rather pleasant. but quite unimpor-
tant episode-of the past. He was
glad, she was not the sort who would
misinterpret his intentions.
Lee, lookl The whole towns turn
ing out. You'd think they never saw
a plane before" She laughed de-
lightedly.
Lee bent a little forward, eyes
searching the field ahead.
Watch it now he warned, quietly,
this may be bit rough" And while
Ann sat rigid, too startled to speak,
the plane nosed down, came up level
and a moment later was bouncing
along on two wheels. Then the tall
skid struck and Lee kicked the brake
pedal.
Having turned of the switch, the
flyer leaned across Ann and unfast-
ened the door. "All right" he said,
"let's get out and see what the place
looks like"
But Ann neither moved nor spoke.
She was gazing out at the gathering
crowd, struggling with the sense of
unreality that came over her as she
understood that these people were not
the strangers she had expected, but
men, women and children she had
known all her life.
Ann told her mother in the kitchen
after dinner: Il thought we were fly
ing in a circle around Washington
and hadn't any idea that clock in
the plane was right I'm afraid I'll
never be able to convince myself this
isn't a dream"
AIMS mother was only slightly
larger than her daughter, frail little
woman whose hair was as dark as it
had been 20 years ago, but there were
tiny lines under her eyes which, un-

lenses of her rimless glasses. She
smiled now. but there was q suggestion
Of fear In the uncertain movement Of
her lips. She said, hesitantly. I'm
glad you came. Ann. but-do you have
to 60 back in that airplane?"
"Sillyl" Ann gave her mother q
quick little kiss and held her OF,
laughing. "It's as safe and COM
Portable as riding in fathers car.
Really 1t Is, mother and think
two hours after we leave here we'll be

Her mother nodded, unconvinced
but knowing the futility Of pressing
the point. "will you send me q wire
as soon as you get there? I won't
sleep until know you're on the ground
again"
"Of course" Ann lifted . hand,
grinning. "Listen-father's letting
more come in. They must be piled
up three deep by now."
But her mothers alert ears had
caught the sound of familiar voices.
TITS Mr.. and Mrs. Manley," she
whispered. They've come to ask
about Rita"

him and in a moment he had stepped
forward and caught both Ann and her
mother In his arms.

said softly. II feel as If I'd been away
