Mild Soap
P1eases
BY JULIET SHELBY

Since soap and water facials
have come back into vogue,
women have a fresh interest
in soaps.
It is true that many women
use soap only as part Of the
beauty routine, but those who
do scrub their faces clean Of
dirt and tried cosmetics swear
by the good old-fashioned treat
ment.
We discover as wide a varia'
ton in the consistencies Of soap
as we find in facial creams.
Some soaps serve the dry skin
admirably, others should be re-
served for treatment Of the ex-
cessively oily skin or the skin
that is blemished.
But the housewife is playing
safe when she purchases a mild,
good soap for general family
use. Such a soap may be used
by each member of the family
without fear Of harming even
young or sensitive skins.
One widely advertised soap
merits the consideration OF
mothers, wives and young girls
who feel the need of face wash
ings and body scrubbings.
It is beneficial for the dry skin
and it acts as a normalizer for
the oily skin when use<:. two or
three times a day.
Mild as it is, you can whip up
a fluffy lather in hard or soft
water and its perfume Is so neu-
tral that the big he-man of the
household will not object to
using it for his personal toilet.
In fact, many men, because Of
it's quick lathering quality, rave
about it for shaving purposes.
AS this soap is in the budget
class and may be obtained in
many grocery stores as well as
drug and department stores, it
will bear your trial II you have
not already used it.
And if you question the bene-
fit of soap and water facials.
let me tell you that the majority
of girls in Hollywood resort to
them to keep the skin immacu-
lately clean.
Exquisite Leila Hyams has a
skin that glistens like that Of a
baby, and Leila finds soap and
water essential to her skins
cleanliness and health.
Dear Miss Shelby:
Will you please tell me how I

This year it will be the "cut-
away" collar that will make
your shirt look new. It is we'll
named, because it looks cut
away. We have a picture of
one on this page, and you can
see for yourself the generous
width between the points.
Comfortable
I have a hunch that this
collar came into fashion be-
cause men have become accus-
toned to sports shirts and to
the collars with a wide open
ing that most sports shirts
have. They're extremely COM
Portable, by the way, and that
recommends these shirts with
the new collars for spring and
summer wear.
A tie with a larger knot is
required with this shirt than
with most. The man in the
picture very wisely chooses a
heavy knitted tie, which has a
comfortably thick knot, and
fills the aperture to perfection.
It may mean you'll have to buy
a new tie or two, but that just
gives your friends and family a
chance to give you something
you want.
Rough Fabrics Good
Other fashion points about
this shirt are the color and the
material. It's of a rough ma
terial, which is smart this year,
due to the fact that rough
materials are good for suits,
hats, topcoats and all other
parts of a mans costume. Then
it's in a deep tone, too. comes
in several deep tones, and that's
important from a fashion stand
point.
Last, but not least, be sure
to notice the cravat chain
which holds the tie in place.
This cravat chain has become
suddenly and tremendously
popular, so much so that it has
practically made the old type
of tie clasp obsolete. All Of
which proves that fashions
move fast in mems apparel,
som etimes with leaps and
bounds.

BrOtherS-in-LaW
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Lear MTS. 6eeCku1aus
I would like to have you settle
this argument for me: A says
if her sisters husband is a
brother-in-law to her, he is
nothing to her husband. B says
that A is wrong. B thinks her
sisters husband Is a brother-in-
law to her and also a brother
in-law to her husband.
In introducing would it be
correct to say, Meet my wife's
brother-in-law, Mr.. Smith" or
Meet my brother-in-law, Mr..
Smith?" M.
It is customary to regard
this relationship as B does,
that her sisters husband is a
brother-in-law to her and to her
husband.
In the first place it isn't
good form to use this form Of
introduction. meet" anyone.
And usually it wouldn't be nec-
essary to make the relationship
so explicit.
Customarily the introduction
would be made, MRS. Jones,
may I present Mr.. Smith," or
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Smith" If
there Is a reason to add the re-
lationship, you might say, Mrs.
Jones, do you know Marie'S hus-
band, Mr.. Smith," or Mrs.
Jones, this is Marie'S husband"

Simplify Routine

So it ought not to be unduly
difficult for an expectant
mother to tighten in many
ways her daily tasks through
the cooperation Of her young
sons and daughters. Let them
do the running up and down
stairs, the dishwashing, the
table-setting and other chores
which might keep their mother
on her feet too long.
All members of the family
will consent to a simpler house
hold routine, during these
months before childbirth, if an
appeal is made by the mother
to their common sense and
sympathy. They want her to
go through her ordeal as
quickly and safely as possible;
they want a strong little baby
brother or sister. Other rela-
tives and kindly neighbors will
lend their assistance, just as
the one they help will help
them when their time of need
comes.
Planning and cooperation
can offset lack of paid assist
ance in many home.

Customary Tasks

He discovered at once that
she was four months pregnant.
Her show at that time was in
Toronto and the next night, out
of curiosity. he attended, in or"
der to see her act. He beheld
her performing the most siren
uous and apparently hazardous
feats of trapeze and wire works
as she had been doing for the
previous four months, without
injury to herself or her unborn
child!
My brother concludes this
story by saying:
NATURALLY, I do not advise
circus acrObaticS for expectant
mothers, but watching that
woman went far to convince me
that a woman in good health
can continue to do almost any
work to which she is thoroughly
accustomed, even during the
months while her child is on
the way"
So the woman carrying a baby,
who must also carry the burden
o. running her home and of
satisfying the wants of several
other children. need not feel
that she is endangering her
health or the little life to come,
especially if she will alternate
domestic duties with short inter
valS of rest.

them?

WicheS and potato chips with

Is that correct?
If gifts are given. how should
I thank the givers for them, and
when should they be opened?
C.
If you will go to the games

lent department stores in your
city, you will find good assort-
ment, I am sure, Of adult games.
There are now a great aSsort-
ment of these popular games.
With beer I'm not so sure that
the candy will be such q well
come accessory! Why not have
salted nuts instead? And how
about some pretzels?
Open each gift as you receive
it, and say some enthusiastic
things about the giver's kind
ness and then about the gift.
Such as, How very kind Of you,
Mary! And what a grand
purse-just the kind I love. Nice
and roomy, and lots of compart-
ments. You're a dear, and
thank you so much for this
lovely gift.'

But she argued the point on

Pre-Marital Triangle

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Before I became engaged I
went around a good deal with
my fiance's boy chum, and this
boy has proved to be not loyal
or friendly.
I asked him if he had any
hard feelings against me which
he was taking out on my fiance.
He tried to avoid the question,
but finally said mo" However,
I'm not sure that believe him.
What could I do to keep them
from breaking this friendship,
which has meant so much to
both of them in the past?
Would you tell me what you
think is the matter with the
young man who has lost his
loyalty. T. M. B.
There seems to be nothing the
matter with the first boy, but a
case Of good old-faShioned jeal-
ousy. You went with him, and
then you shifted to his chum,
which very naturally has made
him jealous. The situation is
as old as Adam.
If he's a really worth while
young man, he'll get over this
in time. I hope SO, as it's too
bad to have old friendships
broken.

Timely Fashion
Hints

Lots of invitations to impor-
tant parties mean lots of smart
evening frocks. Modes tly
priced but most effective is a
frock of violet blue chiffon with
a cape made entirely of ruffles
in taffeta that exactly matches
the chiffon.
A revival of lace is preSaged
by the many dark frockS with
lace dyed to match. A charming
frock of navy blue crepe has a
squared deep neckline partly
filled in by ruffles of fine lace
dyed to match the frock. There
are frilly cuffs of the dyed lace.

MORGAN s1,9(D,oDO.
EdseI Ford Reported Pur-
chaser of Masterpiece
by ChirIandaio.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 3l.-J. P.
Morgan's six world-famed paintings
which he recently offered for sale,
have been sold for S1,500,00O, with
Edsel Ford reported today to have car
ried off the prize of the lot.
The possibility that the financier
might put more of the Morgan treas
ures on the market was limited by
his agent, Charles r. Henschel.
S50O,OOO For One.
Henschel did not deny reports cur
rent in art circles that Ford had sue
ceeded in getting Portrait OF Glo-
wanna Tornabouno," fifteenth CEN
tury Italian masterpiece by Domen-
leo Chirlandaio, at a reputed price OF
$500,000.
The art dealer said the purchasers
of the prize Chirlandaio, acquired by
J. P. Morgan, ST., in 1907 for $780,
900, lived some distance from New
York" and that a hurried l,300-mlle
airplane fight entered into the deal.
Museum Gets Two.
Two Frans Halls portraits-"Meneer
Bodolphe" and "Mevron Bodolphe"-
were purchases by an out-of-town
collector The Metropolitan Museum.
Henschel said, paid about $5OO,OOO
for the Rubens portrait of Anne of
Austria and an altar piece by F1llpo
Lippi.
A New York collector bought "Por-
trait of Miss Farren," by Sir Thomas
Lawrence, at slightly lower" price
than that reputedly paid by Ford.
Andrew Mellon was not one OF the
purchasers" Henschel said.
