the afternoon. Is it proper to
dress for dinner the first night or
wear ones travelling clothes? 1
have heard that on these short
pleasure planned trips the regular
rules of not dressing are diSre-
garded.
when two women are travel

or"
The custom on an ocean liner
is not to dress for dinner the first
evening out, especially If one has
sailed in the afternoon. However,
you may, of course, if you wish.
But on short trips, such as your
Bermuda trip. you will find that
most people dress for dinner the
first evening. A dinner dress is
in excellent taste, and an evening
dress is proper. But at dinner
wear clothes that give the impress
sion that you have dressed" but
not dressed up"
You'll find some passengers on
the boat who, alas, are dressed
for dinner as they would dress for
most formal ball. This is to be
avoided. On shipboard the best
dressed women are conservatively
dressed.
Yes.
You tip as you do on a transat-
lantic trip, at the end Of the voy-
age. And on shipboard, your
waiter" is called a steward" re-
member, the table-steward.
Then there is the chief steward;
your cabin steward or Stewardess,
or both; the deck steward; the
bath steward; the library steward,
if you use the library (the library
stewards sell the stamps too);
and the lounge steward.
There are three things for which
you make arrangements directly
you arrive on board. Inquire first
where the table-sitting are being
assigned, and make your table
reservations. Then go on deck and
see where you would like to have
your deck-chairs placed.
You will find the deck-steward
assigning deck-chairS and chair
places. From him you buy the
rental of the deck-chair Cts about
81 SOD, and, if you wish Of blanket
(also about $1.50), and also, if
you wish, of a chair-pad (also
about $3.50.
He puts your name on the chair
back, has your chair and blanket
in place for you each morning,
serves you broth in the middle of
the morning, and tea in the after
noon, and gives you any other
service you wish on deck.

For Your Table

MANY of you liked the cir
AVA cular, low table decora-
tions that had artificial fruit
or flowers in them, which we
showed a few weeks ago. Now
you can get the holders with
out the artificial flowers. And
in other shapes, hearts, horse
shoes, clover leaf, and so on,
as we'll as circular. They're of
ivory glazed pottery, and are
only about two inches high,
though they hold plenty of
water for small flowers. They
are quite in line with the vogue
for low flower centerpieces, so
that dinner guests do not have
to dodge around the bouquet
to look at each other. One or
two would be enough for the
usual family table, but if you're
having a very long table, you
could put them down the
length, interspersed wi t h
candles. They are. only $3.50
each. Some people, instead of
using candles with them, or for
luncheon, put a pair of love
birds in the circle. Some stun
ming ones were shown in the
same shop, ST each.

Hoping-One hundred and twen-
ty-three pounds is quite a lot for
a 15-year-old to weigh. You want
to know if there is anything that
will make the stomach smaller, or,
as you say, perfectly flat.
The first thing to do is to realize
the only thing that puts on weight
is food and lack of exercise; regu-
late your diet and avoid the foods
that increase weight and do the
right kind of exercises. Here is
an exercise that will help a lot to
bring back that perfectly flat
stomach:
Stand erect with the feet one
step apart, knees straight; pull in
the muscles of the abdomen, but
do not push out at the back. You
must feel pinched-in restriction
to be straight at the back. Keep
the abdominal muscles stretched
while you bend forward and touch
the right hand to the left heel. Do
IS of these bends and alternate
with left hand to the right heel.
Next stretch out on your back
on the floor, and swing the feet
over the head so that your toes
touch the floor back of your
head. This may sound acrobatic.
but it is a very simple exercise
when you try it. If you can not
touch your toes to the floor at
first, you will in a short time.
Now sit up and with straight
knees flat on the floor, bend for
ward so that your forehead will
touch the knee; then on your
back again, and when you rise up
to the forward bend, let all the
muscular strain be on the alb
dominal muscles. Do ten of these
before you stop.
Do this set regularly two or, If
possible, three times a day, and
you will soon have that "per-
fectly flat" abdomen, PROVIDED
you watch your diet.
My NOrmalizing Exercises have
been used successfully by thou
sands of girls and there are a
number that help to release those
dormant muscles and give one a
supple and graceful carriage.
These exercises are illustrated,
and there is no charge for them.
There is also my reducing diet
for overweight young persons.
You will find it a good guide.
Repeat your question and enclose
a stamped, self-addreSsed envelope
for each to cover postage, and

of ham baked with a sauce are
equally appropriate.

So, she quit her job, and as she
confides, she's desperately un-

calls h of a time. But here's
her letter:
Dear Miss Fairfax:
"After reading my letter, you
will probably think 1 should be
psychO-anaIyzed or frankly pack
my suitcase and go to a nut-hOuse.
And if you ask me, whether love
isn't a type of insanity, I'll agree

GIRL PROPOSES
T am so much in love with the
man whose secretary I was, up to
two weeks ago, that-believe it or
nOt-I asked him to marry me.
Don't condemn me as a braZen
huZZy. He made love to me-but
it was office love.
'It was pretty tepid at first.
When I'd go to his private office
to take dictatiOn, he'd do a little
hand-hOlding. But last Christmas
Eve he kissed me for the first time.
That started the cOnflagratiOn-
and he continued to kiss me every
chance he got.
"He never said anything about
taking me out, calling on me, or
even having one of those noon
day lunches with him, where girls
and their bosses get together Os-
tensibIy to talk business, but dis
cover they're just men and women
in love.
"ThiS middle of -the-rOad affair
went on for long time, and then
one day I heard that my boss was
going to have dinner at the home
of a close friend and business aSSO-
ciate, whose wife was an old
schOOlmate Of mine.
81 hadn't seen this woman for
years, and we never had been very
good friends. But it was enough
for me that I was going to have a
chance to see the boss outside Of
the deadly routine of the office.
PLAN is SUCCESSFUL
$50 I dropped in pretty late to
call, and said: My dear Alice, I've
been wanting to see you for a year,
but I've been so busy 1 admired
her house, her children, everything
in sight. And, as Alice is a dull
sort Of person, she fell for her old
friend, and asked me to stay for
dinner.
"Along came the boss, and
affected tremendous surprise on
seeing him. 1 think Alice had a
glimmering of the truth, but she
didn't give me away. After dinner
was over the boss asked "tO take
me home in his car.
eve took a long drive and
stopped while to park. OF course,
we made love. Later we made a
good deal of office love. But still
he never suggested taking me out,
though l gave him every chance.
"The suspense nearly drove me
crazy, so one day 1 pIucked up
my courage and asked the boss to
call at my apartment. He seemed
surprised, but agreed.
