Au RevOir
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
when you meet a friend whom
you haven't seen for quite some
time, what would be the correct
words to use when parting?
Should a man walk on the
right or left Of a lady?
CLAIRE"
Goodbye, Mary. It has been
such a Joy to see you again." or
Goodbye, Mary. I can't tell you
how happy am to have seen you
again." or Mary, it's been wonder
full to see you again, and I hope
that it won't be such a long time
before we meet again. It is always
such a pleasure to see you"
"The lady on the right Of the
gentleman" is a good rule to re-
member. However, if you mean
when the man AMI woman are
walking on the street, the rule is
that the man walks on the side
of the pavement nearest the curb.

How to Write Letters

Simple notes lead to delightful
friendships. good times. . to all
kinds Of pleasant things.
That is, if you make them as
charming as the one in our il
'luStration, and observe the rules
of good taste in letter-writing.
The effect Of a letter as winning
IN style as this could be marred
by poorly chosen stationery.
too flamboyant a shade of ink
..an overly imposing mono
gram.
Writing a letter can be a
simpler matter than you think
il you'll just imagine that you're
talking to the person to whom
you're writing. Forget your pen
and paper, and all the stiff, cor.
rect phrases you've though of as
belonging in a letter. Write ex-
actly as though you were talking
to the person to whom the letter
is going.
For instance, take the letter
we've illustrated. The girl is
answering an invitation to din
ner from man living out of
town. She might have said,
Stiffly, cts kind Of you to in
vite me to dine with you when
you're here Saturday" But. in
stead, she writes as naturally as
If she were chatting with the
young man. And you know the
man will be charmed with her
letter; that he'll look forward
eagerly to an evening with a girl
who writes so spontaneously,

The Washington times., 1935-11-01

Covent Garden Is called the best
dressed opera house in the world,
and it is notable that midnight
blue evening clothes were over
whelmingly popular there during
the opening week Of the last sea-
son. That was some time ago, so
it's high time that we took up the
fashion. OF course, it was white
tie" there, but midnight blue is
equally popular for tuxedos.
Color in evening clothes began
in q really big way at the Euro
pean winter resorts, last year.
Such men Of social prestige as the
King Of Spain and the British
royal family wore midnight blue,
and travelling Americans soon
picked it up from them, buying
clothes in the new color before
they returned to this country.
And from them it spread. like
wildfire. To quote from MEMS
Wear" the magazine of mems
fashions, there is real reason be-
hind the vogue. They say, Mid
night blue is actually a better color
for evening than black. There is
never any danger Of that rusty
look in a midnight blue garment.
Real blacks, after wear, will be-
come gray in tint, or green or red
dish. Midnight blue stays black"
One reason why the younger
generation have taken up the
fashion is that the sound Of it
appeals to them. To them, mid
night is the time Of all fun, the
time to dress for, and why not
wear midnight? It's reasonable
to believe that all first tuxedoS
and first tail coats will be in the
new color this year.
Some fabric manufacturers re-
port that the demand for blue
cloth is as high as so or so per
cent. Imagine that in q fashion
so new! Men are not SO con-
Servative after all.
We have photographed for this
page a midnight blue tuxedo,
which you must admit looks quite
black. It's the popular double
breasted type, with new wide
lapelS. OF course, the same mid
night blue is excellent in tails
and in other types Of tuxedos.
The young man in the picture
is wearing the right collar and
tie for this season, too.

CHILD'S FUTURE
lear Miss Fairfax.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
'I am a girl Of 10, and con-
Sidered nice looking. I have many
friends who are true to me, but
I'm deeply in love with q married
man, 30 years old, in the same
Government department where
I am employed. He has one child
whom he tells me, means the
world to him. However, he can't
get along with his wife.
"I have been going with him
occasionally, for about two years.
What would you advise me to
do? I have tried hard to forget
him, but can't give him up. It
would only break my heart.

The young lady had been 9
Elirt, an incorrigible one, since her
first year in high school. Some
times "just for fun," she'd be en-
gagged to two boys at the same
time, and never be serious with
either Of them.
But at 81 she announced she
had finished with flirting, and in
tended to settle down and marry
John.
Her mother doubted, but not
John-who had a method. He
had read Shakespeare'S Tanning
Of the ShreW" and he did his
tanning with modern methods.
Call them severe If you viii.
First Lesson
On one occasion he promised
the girls mother that he would
have her home from q certain
dance by a. m. Came 1880 and,
allowing half an hour for the
homeward drive, John tapped
the young man with whom Dolly
was dancing and reminded her
she was to be home at o'clock.
She flouted him, and said she'd
dance till 4 if she felt like it.
John, who's big and husky,
waited till the end Of the dance,
lifted Miss Dolly off her feet, put
her in his car, and drove her
home.
She berated him all the way
home, and he went her one better
with his kidding.
In q restaurant, when he had
ordered a very nice dinner, moth
ing satisfied her. She was en-
joying her tantrum to the limit.
He paid the bill at the cashiers
desk, tipped the waiter and left
her. When she broke q date, he
broke the next one.
To tease him, she flirted out
.rageously with q friend of Johns
at a dance. And John departed,
letting the friend make the long
suburban trip to her home in a
street car, as he hadn't q motor.
And there was more in the way
Of discipline, which space forbids
me to give.
Her Own Way
Dolly, you see, had been thor
oughly spoiled; she was bored to
death by having her own way.
John was different-and she fell
for him.
Dolly'S mother writes me she Is
sure John succeeded, where the
rest Of her daughters admirers
had failed, because he did not Suf-
fer from an inferiority complex.
He took a high hand, where the
others had groveled and concili-
ated. He pitted his wits against
those Of a little flirt, and his wits
were better.
Three months before they were
married, Dolly joined a class in
home economics, and became the
best cook among the group of
girls.
Her bungalow is charming, and
is entirely due to her good taste,
as John thought it was better to

QUESTIONS FROM READERS
G. M. W.: 81 have heard that
eating yeast viii cause cancer.
Is there any truth in this state
ment?"
Answer: We do not know the
cause of cancer, but certainly
yeast has never been considered
to be O cause. Considering the
amount Of bread that is eaten,
and also the amount Of raw
yeast. cancer would be practi-
cally universal If this were true.
