It is not too soon to start think
ing about Thanksgiving plans. On
that day the center attraction is
the dinner. This is a gala affair
and rich food is the rule.
In fact, if your guests are hap
PLY uncomfortable you can be
sure that your dinner has been a
grand success.
Plans for your menu center on
your choice of meat. 1t is not too
soon to place your orders. This
is especially important if you pre-
fer poultry raised locally. Many
poultry houses specialize in fill
ing orders for choice birds that
have been sent in from large
poultry farms nearby.
The cost Of your dinner will be
of first consideration. Perhaps
in your selection in this case the
turkey may be replaced by ham
or chicken and dumplingS. Duck
makes an excellent choice.
After your main dish has been
decided and a tentative menu
made out, the next question pre-
sented is how shall I "do" the
table! Many combinations offer
interesting possibilities.
SETTING"
Your limitations will be set by
your china, glassware and linens.
If you have the traditional silver,
damask and china, your table will
present cleaning colors and need
only candle light and the tradi-
tional bowl of fruit and nuts to
complete its appearance. Fall
bouquets of russell oak leaves, vel
low NUNS" and red barberry
offer interesting high lights" for
your decorations.
For a more informal table, a
pale yellow cloth set with more
festive china, and colored glass
wear is suggested. Using a circle

gourds in the center, and russell
leaves concealing the holders for

Beauty
Rules in USING
Rouge
BY DONNA GRACE


We have become so expert in
the use Of rouge now that it is
difficult to distinguish it from
natural coloring.
It is not so long ago that rouge
was applied in round little patches
with a distinct hard outline and
no thought given to blending it
as nature does. 1t was called
paint in those days and. it was
just the name for such queer
daubing.
The cheeks are rouged so deftly
now that we are frequently asked
if rouge is out of style and if the
girls have given up wearing it.
Rouge is worn to good advan-
tage by the girls and women who
need it. The pale type will always
be improved so much by this ap,
piled coloring. It gives the
cheeks a healthful, interesting
glow and also brings out the col.
oring Of the eyes.
1t is true that many depend
on the lipStick alone for their
coloring and for the girl whose
skin is olive or the deep ivory
shade, this is correct, but the
transparent or blue-white skins
need a touch of color on the
cheeks, or the hpStick will stand
out too conspicuouSly.
The face must be thoroughly
cleansed with cream before rouge
is applied and when the skin is
dry, a delicate film of cream is
left on to aid in the blending.
Paste or cream rouge is very
satisfactory as it may be spread
and placed Just as it should be,
and besides it has lasting quail
ity that we do not expect of the
powdered rouge.
Daytime rouging must be light
and delicately done, then covered
with rather dark powder, but for
evening we may be much more
colorful. A wide, full face will
appear less broad. if the rouge is
placed rather close to the sides
of the nose. When the fullneSs
is high, be sure to place the rouge
high, as the general rule is rouge
detracts from size. For low, heavy
jaws, rouge lightly on the lower
half of the face-only a SuggeS-
ton of color is ever used for
lower part of the cheeks.
The rule for the average-sized
face is that rouge is never placed
below the imaginary line from
the lower corner Of the noStrils to
the lobes of the ears. The most
important thing to bear in mind
about rouge and lipstick is to
know that you have the correct
shade. Any lack of harmony in
this co1oring will result in a gar
iSh, artificial effect.
My Color Chart will give you re-
liable information and there is no
charge for it. Send a stamped,
self-addreSSed envelope for your
reply and address Donna Grace,

A widower does not give a
bachelor dinner; otherwise, the
wedding is the same as if he were
married for the first time. He
buys the marriage license, the
wedding ring, he pays the clergy
mans fee.
From the moment the ceremony
IS over, all the expenses of the

60 anywhere in the evening with
out seeing a sprinkling Of caps
of various types, and meshy din
ner hats are everywhere that are
as practical for holding the hair
as they are smart.
MESHES FOR DAYTIME
It's a little hard to understand
what the daytime hats using nets
are like in Paris, for there haven't
been any here that I know of. It
seems that Schiaparelli has a
mesh something like a hair net
to hold your back hair in place
and smooth. and Talbot is using
meshes, too. There are hats with
a back section of strips of velvet
or felt made into a Snood and
heaven only knows what else. I
haven't seen them.
STRAWS IN THE WIND
The point of bringing all this
up is that it seems to be coming
fashion. OF course we won't see
them in Washington this month,
but we may be the next, and it
will be no time at all until we
will become meSh-minded.
Another fashion that Paris Is
doing a great deal with is con-
trasting sleeves. Sometimes they
contrast in color, sometimes in
material, as velvet sleeves with a
broadcloth dress. Sometimes
sleeves are embroidered to give
the same effect.
DINNER TAILLEURS
Another persistent note in
Paris is tailleurs for dinner. They
are seldom seen in this country,
as we have two substitutes, the
metal or velvet dress of street
length, and the evening gown with
jacket. Theirs have tailored
jackets over a fairly tailored
dress, both of rich fabric. Tar
tanS are another coming fashion.
They're used everywhere and for
everything in Paris, and they
are plaided on various fabrics.
They make woolen jackets for
plain skirts, they make blouseS
and scarfs, and on taffeta they
appear for informal dinner or
evening clothes.

How can a busy home-maker
perhaps a young mother with two
little fellows to tuck away at 7
o'clock, manage to give party?
Easy! Just have a "come-in-for-
coffee" party.
Make the table look so grand
the guests will know it's a party.
There is nothing like a beautifully
set table to sound the soft note of
gracious living. Hasn't the clever
lady in our sketch made dainty
work of glorifying her little coffee
table?
No matter how busy you are, or
how small your living quarters,
you can toss off one of these cof-
fee-and-dessert affairs with the
minimum of effort and equip
ment.
Don't invite more than six
guests, and tell them to come for
coffee and dessert about 8 o'clock.
Get out your prettiest linen,
china, glass, and silver, and set a
small coffee or tea table with a
pretty cloth in some CHEEKY spot
before the fire if you have d
fireplace.
Arrange the coffee service on a
tray and place it on the table.
With it serve an attractive dessert,
such as luscious chocolate pie
topped with whipped cream, or
maybe ice cream in meringues.
Or, if you haven't time for all
that, serve a bright bowl of fruit
and plates of crackers, jam, and
cheese with the coffee. Have
plenty of small dishes of mints or
Salted nuts standing about, and
several hnxaS of ciparetteS

PASSING THE PLATES

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
when the host has carved the
meat, down which side OF the
table are the plates passed for
the hostess to serve the vege-
table? SUBSCRIBER"
Either side is correct. 1t just
depends on which side at the
moment seems the more con-
venient. Often the host decides
to pass the plates on the left
side, so that the woman guest
Of honor, the woman on his
right, will not be unduly busy

Health
Dry Cleaning
At Home
By LOGAN CLENDENING, MD.

| should be given against Cne Ilal-
ards of dry cleaning at home.
This is particularly true because
from now on the amateur dry
cleaner is liable to work in a
closed room on account Of the
cold weather. which raises the
hazard a great dial over summer
dry cleaning when the windows
are likely to be open.
There are two kinds OF dan
gers-one is fire from inflamma-
BILE cleaning fluids, such as gaso-
line or naphtha, the other from
inhalation.
Usually household dry cleaning
is done in the kitchen, and while
there may be no fire on the stove,
the pilot light may not be turned
off. In a closed room, with the
gradual concentration Of the
gases, this is enough to cause an
explosion. Neglec; of this precau-
ton has caused many fatal acci-
dents and serious burns.
Even the rubbing together OF
some of the articles that are being
cleaned, such as a piece Of silk
or cloth, may form static cleo
tricity and generate a spark which
will ignite the vapor.
If one uses a noninflammable
cleaning fluid, such as carbon
tetrachloride, the danger Is from
inhalation of the gases Of this
chemical, which may cause liver
damage.
For this reason, also, the win
dow should be kept open in order
that there will not be sufficient
concentration Of the drug to al
low inhalation Of a poisonous
amount.
The proprietor Of a dry clean
ing establishment writes me:
Numerous cleaning fluids, al
though sold by different names,
contain carbon tetrachloride and
are sold as safe. I know Of one
case of a young woman being
found by her roommate, mcon-
scious, in a room with the doors
closed, when she tried dry clean
ing with a fluid containing car
bon tetrachloride."
The National Fire Protectlon
Association states: DRY cleaning
can best be done by a professional
dry cleaner in plant where the
hazards of flammable solvents are
understood and guarded against.
Economic considerations pre-.
vent the adoption Of this plan OF
universal dry cleaning in PROBES
sional establishments, but at least
the home dry cleaner can observe
the precautions OF keeping the
windows open and also OF follow
ing the rules as given below:
/. Use a nonflammable solvent,
such as carbon tetrachloride.
2. Keep the hands out OF the
solvent as much as possible. Tne
hand type of suction washer Is
useful for this purpose.
3. Do the cleaning in a well
ventilated room or outdoors.
4. Dry the clean garment in a
well ventilated room or outside.
S. Do not allow children or do
nestle animals in the room When
the cleaning is being done.

You can imagine how stunned
became when he told me he was
married, but not living with his

get a divorce from him as soon
as possible.
i have heard from other peo.
pie that his wife is a wonderful
