You're writing a note inviting
someone to visit you, to come to
dinner, or a party. What shall
your letter say? What is the gra-
cious, correct way of offering
your hospitality?
When you're inviting a friend
for a visit, your note will be
informal and friendly. Send
it off in plenty of time. and be
definite about details. Mention
the length of the stay, as,
won't you plan to reach us in
time for dinner Friday evening
and stay until Sunday after
noon?" Give train times or
automobile routes. Be sure to
say something about your enter
tainment plans, so that your
guest will come prepared with
suitable clothes.
Such an informal note, with
the details definitely stated, is
correct when you're asking

to have been caused by the tn"

takes in young people is entire.
ly different from that Of adults.
1t is mostly in the lymph nodes
around the base of the lung in
the chest (unless it affects the
lymph glands in the neck or
the bones and joints. A child
of this type will not develop
cough, and the disease may be
spotted largely because he is
underweight and less robust
than other children of his age.
It is only at about the age Of
IS to 20 that the disease begins
to assume the form it takes in
later adult life, with the pro-
duction OF cough, expectoration
and a breakdown Of actual
lung tissue.
A little pamphlet published
by the National tuberculosis
Association, called "Air and
Sunshine" emphasizes the i'm
portance Of these two elements
in childhood and youth. It
summarizes the prevention OF
tuberculosis in the following
words:
Health is dependent primar-
lily on inheritance. Alas, we
cannot choose our grsndpar'
ents! Next in importance is
good nutrition. We can con-
troll that to a large extent. Then
come sunshine and air, and
these are intimately concerned
in nutrition. Natures gifts are
ours for the asking. We should
use them abundantly but also
intelIigently."
QUESTIONS FROM READERS
F. C.::"(a) Is it possible for a
child to inherit bronchitis from
an afflicted parent? CD Can
bronchitis in any way be trans
mitted from one to another?"
Answer: Bronchitis cannot be
inherited or transmitted from
one person to another, but tu-
berculosis can, and sometimes
cases of tuberculosis are erron'
eously called bronchitis.

Write Letter
And Explain
By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

By MRS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 have a friend who lives in
my neighborhood. When 1 was
sick she came to visit me.
About two months ago, she,
her baby, and husband were all
sick, I neglected to visit them,
thinking that 1 might endanger
the health of my baby. Now,
when she meets me, she ignores
me.
II feel very guilty about this.
Please tell me how I can atone
for my neglect.
"What do you think Of this
letter? H."
You were so honest in your
explanation to me concerning
the reason of your neglect Of
your friend that I would like to
have you write her and explain
it in the same fortnight way
to her. Since she, too, has a
baby, I am sure that she will
understand.
Your letter-form is quite good,
and your letter would have a
very good appearance if you
would use unruled letter-paper
plain, double-Sheeted paper.
Your handwriting is exception
ally good.

browns play very important
role in autumn fashions. Gin
gertone, a medium golden
brown, has high style accept
ance and Manoa Brown is
widely favored as a darker neu-
trail tone. In the vintage" red
range, Tuscan Wine and Dregs
of Wine are favored.
The color combination move
ment continues as an important
motif in fall fashions. Espe-
cially smart with browns, green's
and rusts are the rich amber
shades like Ambertan, Amber
gold and Ambrine. Light rust,
capucine or coz de roche tones
are another important accent
which Paris favors with browns,
greens and other darker tones.
These lively hues include Au-

A MOTHERS ORDEAL
'tDear Miss Fairfax:

"When l was IL years Of age

escape a dreadful home, in
which liquor seemed to be the
only thing that mattered. After

my husbands divorce was not
legal, and that 1 was not his
wife in the eyes Of the law. I

daughter was born in a charity
hospital.

proved to be an angel to me.
She took us into her home and
had me educated. / acted as
her hOusekeeper and companion
until her death, and she left me
a small sum Of money. Later
1 married, more to give my girl
a father-hOping he would be
that to her-than for any other
reason.
Though she always supposed
he was her real father, they
never got along we'll together,
and when she was Is he told
her she was an illegitimate
child and called her dreadful
names. This turned my daugh-
ter against me completely, and
she threatens to leave home.
She seems to brood a great deal
over the fact that her birth was
irregular, though God knows
that it's no fault Of mine.
''If she should leave home,
what would become Of this poor
child? Have you any SuggeS-
tionS? A MOTHER"
In Scandinavian countries
there is no such thing as illegiti.
macy. and several of our States
are taking up the same ques-
ton. AS you married in good
faith, not knowing your hus-
bands divorce was illegal, it
seems to me that your daughter
is unduly sensitive on the ques.
ton Of her birth.
Why doesn't she consider
what you have done for her,
instead Of putting her in an
institution, as many selfish
women would have done? Try
to make her see this and that
she owes you gratitude rather
than resentment
Has this girl any gifts? If
so, try to interest her in devel-
oping them. See that she has
a good time and the society Of
young people, that she has

insist that your husband never

her birth.

Many Red Tones

The opulence Of color in
Renaissance paintings is most
dramatically portrayed by tt
tian, whose palette favors glow
ing rust tones of which Rust
lac is typical. A more sub
dued shade like pottery rust is
also noted in the earlier paint
ings, including those Of Botti-
celli. Mellowed amber and
gold tones, such as Ambertan
and Ambergold, are rich shades
expressive of this italian ten
dency. The blue gamut. al
though more limited in its ap-
plication to fall, also has a
definite place in the Renais-
Sance movement, including the
soft antique blues of Fra An
gelico and the Raphael blues
of a later period.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
II was the Ugly Duckling in
a family of four girls. My handi-
caps were a snub nose, large
mouth and drab, stringy hair. I
soon got tired of being left out
of things, so one day I dried my
tears, sat in front of the looking
glass and took stock of myself.

placed upon color, fashion crea-
tors have found a fresh source
of interest in the Paris exposi'
ton, where the finest examples
of Italian art have been brought
together. Unusual richness of
color is revealed in these price
less paintings from the 18th
century "primitives" Of the Flor
entine school, including Fra
Angelica, Botticelli and CHR
landaio, to the great colorists
of the Venetian group, as Titan,
Veronese and Tintoretto, and
finally reaching climax in the
renowned da Vinci, Raphael and
Michael Angelo.

Color Contrasts

With the deep oxbIood and
vintage reds, soft cloudy rose
tones are in perfect harmony,
while violettinted blues offer a
new contrasting note. These
hazy tones include Ashblu,
Powder Rose and Fresco Rose.

colorings in the frescoes of
Michael Angelo that adorn the
Sistine Chapel. Another new
contrast with the vintage reds,

are vivid purplish blues OF
which Victory Blue is a smart
type. Brilliant medium blues
and reds are likewise allied with
black, as are also the misty
roses and violet-tinted blues.
The Washington times., 1935-08-23
Greens Important

Greens, reds and trusts stand
out prominently in this Renais'
sance color theme. In the green
gamut clear deep tones typical
of this influence are Devon
green and Kent green. Chive-
green, a lively yellowiSEl tone,
is also noted in the paintings
Of the Italian "primitives."
Rich luxurious reds are like

Of this italian influence, espe-

rosy rust cast, is also repre-
Sented in this color group.

Beauty
New Reducing
Diet
BY DONNA GRACE

We believe you may be inter-
ested to know of a new and very
simple reducing diet.
1t is known as the Mayo diet.
and is one that can be followed
even if one is obliged to be
away from home the greater
part Of the day. 1t consists OF
three food items: Ripe tomatoes,
hard boiled eggs and milk.
One glass of milk, one hard
boiled egg, one tomato. For
three meals a day.
The diet is observed strictly
for three days only every week,
and on the other days the usual
meals of mixed foods may be
resumed. This is kept up until
one has reached the desired
weight.
Keep these instructions if you
care for them, as they will not
be printed again. Nor can 1
give any information about it,
except to say 1 know persons
who have used it successfully.
Now there is another diet for
which I have a request from
time to time and that is the
banana and skinned milk diet,
so 1 will give you that as it was
given to me. 1t originated at
the Johns Hopkins Hospital, and
we are told that clinic records
show patients on this diet lose
from three to five pounds a
week. Those on this diet eat
four to six bananas and drink
three to fou~ glasses Of SKINNED
milk a day.
Now will quote from the in
formation at hand:
"The diet is kept up for two
weeks-then there is an Off-diet
period of two weeks, when one
may eat fish, meat, eggs and
vegetables, but should refrain
from fats and Starches. Coffee
and tea are allowed, but no
cream and sugar and a large
amount of water is advised.
After the two weeks Off-diet,
the restricted diet may be re-
sumed."
The Washington times., 1935-08-23

1t is always advisable to con-
suit a physician before going on
any diet. You may have my Re-
ducing Diet with Exercises,
which you will find very easy
to follow and quite satisfactory.

Washington police are going
into the banking business on a
small scale, beginning today.
Offices of the Police Credit
Union, authorized by an act of the
last congressional session and pat
termed after the successful credit
union of the Fire Department,
were opened today on the sixth
floor of Police Headquarters.
The aim of the organization Is
to promote thrift as we'll as make
loans to members. 1t costs 25
cents to join the union, but before
O. policeman can borrow funds he
must be a shareholder. Shares sell
for $5 each and are limited to 200
shares for a member. Dividends
will be declared the first Of each
year and profits pro rated among
the members.
Member may borrow up to $100,
6 per cent interest for the loan
being deducted at the time it is
made. When Inspector James
Beckett became a member yester-
day, he declared he was heartily
in favor "of any organization
whereby members of the force can
keep their financial matters

CRAB INDUSTRY
THREATENED

Grab fishermen in nearby
waters today were faced with the
most serious crisis in the history
of the industry, with the supply
dwindling at an alarming rate.
Unless some immediate action
is taken to conserve the supply,
the entire industry, furnishing
employment to hundreds of per-
sons, is threatened with disaster.
In an effort to meet the emer-
gency, crabmen are drawing up
a series of regulations which will
be submitted to State authorities
Of Maryland, Virginia and Della
ware for action.
1t was pointed out that due to
lack of proper regulation, the
supply Of crab meat has dropped
off six million pounds in recent
years.
The reason for this, it was
said, was the action of the Vir.
ginia legislature several years ago
in repeating law prohibiting
the taking OF sponge crabs.
Prior to enactment of that law,
the amount of the seasonal crab
catch had dropped off to less
than half in a 16-year period.
Crabmen favor enactment of
laws banning taking of both sponge
and buckram crabs and that a
biological survey be started at
once in order that scientific data
may be obtained to govern condi.
tionS in the future.
