200 JOBS OPEN
AT 6. A. 0. FOR
NEW AUDIT
BY ]. EARLE MOSER

Out off hundreds of applicants
who daily swarm into the person
mel office of General Accounting
Office, a few each day are receiv-
ing emergency jobs.
The jobs are in connection with
General Accounting Offices
bonus audit, in which it must APP
prove payment of more than s.
100000 separate vouchers issued
by the Veterans Administration
for the soldiers bonus, and it is
said that more than 800 G. A. o.
workers will be set to the task.
OF the 800, however, probably
a third will consist of regular G.
A. o. workers transferred from
other tasks for the purpose, leav-
ing a possibility of approximately
200 new jobs to be given. OF these,
it Is estimated that 100 have al
ready been taken on, and General
Accounting Office officials assert
that lack of funds will prevent
them from hiring the large num-
Der of additional employees which
they feel they need.
Those fortunate enough to re-
ceive appointments, however, are
to be sent to the old Patent Office
Building, occupied principally by
the Civil Service Commission,
where G. A. o. has arranged to
shift its old files out and where
it will set up a special office for
the handling of the bonus audit.
This work. it is expected, will be
centered on the top floor of the
building, where lighting is poor
and the heat during the summer
is intense, and it is not expected
to prove pleasant to those as
signed.
According to officials, the prin-
cipal factor in awarding the bonus
audit positions is experience and
qualifications for the task. Some
are being taken from civil service
rolls, it is said, while others re-
ceive the good news if they can
prove their ability to do the job.
That is only the official state
ment, however, and it is probable
that strong political backing plays
a large part in bringing success to
those who succeed in landing po-
SitionS.
Comptometer operators, audi
tors and messengers comprise the
principal types of employees being
taken on, many being hired from
Hole, AAA and other reducing
emergency agencies. w. w. Rich
ardson, chief of personnel at G.
A. O., has staff Of four girls aid
ing him in handling the swarm
of hopeful jobseekerS. He says
they all want to see him person
ally-which is impossible - and
that those who succeed only in in
terviewing one of the girls invari-
ably feel they have been given the
"runaround."
Nevertheless, he is doing the best
he can to fill a small number of
available jobs from list of ap-
plicants that seems without end
or limit.

A PARTY PAIL" this clever
n new device is called, because
you can put it to a dozen uses at
q party. 1t will hold popcorn,
pretzels, potato chips, potted flow
ers, cut flowers, ice, fruit and so
on. It may be used as a wine
cooler or as a trash bucket-any-
thing you may need it for, in fact.
For inside the attractive exterior
is a tin container that will hold
water. The pals are painted bone
white, and have flower or fruit de-
signs painted on the side, in soft
pastels that will go with almost
any color scheme, and are seal
loped around the top. The handle
makes them easy to carry. You
can stick one most anywhere on
your Christmas list, for they are
but 81, and you can get scrap bas-
kets to match for $1.25, and tall
clothes hampers in the same fin
ish for IS. The big favorite,
though, is the party pail at 81.

When compiling a Christmas
shopping list, remember that
every woman enjoys having
those things that make serving
and entertaining in her home
more pleasant and attractive.
If she does not have q waffle
iron, this may be the item that will
win her approval. Those on the
market are practical and conven-
lent. They have an automatic heat
control and some even have gad-
gets for timing and baking.
These new irons are attractive.
They are streamlined and some in
a manner of styles and sizes.
Each iron comes with the manu-
facturer's directions on how to use
them In order to gain the maxi
mum service. They are so attrac-
tive that the hostess will be proud
to serve steaming hot waffles baked
at the table.
The popular use of waffles at
the moment is serving them with
the main course Of the meal, such
as with chicken and other meat,
with an accompaniment of cream
gravy. Corn waffles are perfect
for this, served piping hot.
Plain waffles are also good for
dessert served with chocolate fudge.
For Sunday breakfast, sour cream
WaffleS with sausage or crisp bacon
are served by one popular wash
ington hostess.

Etiquette
MRS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
II am to be married the end Of
this month, and we are just hav-
ing a small home wedding. /
am having one attendant.
II am wearing q blue dinner
dress. Is it proper to wear a hat?
"What is the right thing for the
bride to do when she Is having
no one play the wedding march?
"ShOuld the bride stay secluded
from the guests until the cere-
mOny is to be performed, or does
she stay in the same room with
the guests?
The bride at a house wedding
has her choice about wearing q
hat. But with a dress of a dinner
dress type, it would seem more
appropriate not to wear a hat
unless you plan to wear the small
hat which is little more than q
bandeau but which is popular
this year to wear with dinner
dresses. You could have this
made Of the same material as
your dress. or if your choice is
not of velvet. you might have
piece of velvet dyed the same
shade as your dress.
This type of hat consists mainly
of a twisted piece of the material
around the head, like a turban,
Or this material may be designed
in slightly more considerable
"brim." The crown may be Of
the material, but is usually Of
net or double chiffon, to give
an evening hat effect.
It isn't necessary to have q
wedding march played at house
wedding. When the wedding
party is ready to enter the room
in which the ceremony is to be
performed, the minister, and
then the groom and his bests man
enter, and take their places at
the ceremony place. Then your
attendant enters, walking alone.
Then you and your father or
whoever is to give you in mar
riage. And there is no occasional
at a house wedding.
After the ceremony, and after
the minister has given you his
best wishes and has given the
groom his congratulations, you
and the groom turn in your
places to receive the good wishes
first of your parents and then
of the guests.
The bride should not appear
until she enters for the cere-
mony.

WEDDING GIFT
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 have received an invitation to
q wedding but no invitation to the
reception. Should I send o gift?
SHOULD the gift be sent to the
brides home, or how should 1t be
given? "S."
Whether or not we send a we'd
ding gift depends on our own
wish. If we know the couple very
well, or one of them very well,
naturally we would want to send
gift for the new home. In your
case, if there is to be a large or
rather large reception and you
were not invited, it would indicate
that you do not know the couple
very we'll, and so you might not
necessarily send a gift. Or you
might wish to send a simple gift.
A wedding gift is correctly ad-
dressed to the bride-to-be, and sent
to her home, as soon as possible
after we have received the inVi-
tation, 4

The point is to ignore the years
if they suggest age and a lack Of
interest in things.
The mature woman has the ad-
vantage of experience and intel
ligence, and there are few OF
them who are not alive to all their
opportunities. They make time a
good investment that pays large
dividends in poise, culture and
beauty.
They learn the right things to
do to make themselves attractive
and make use of the professional
advice available to everyone. Well
groomed women know they must
spend plenty Of time on themselves
to ward off the natural changes
that may come with the advancing
years. but it is just a routine and
daily practice with them.
The women who neglect the
daily care of the skin, hair and
diet are the ones who will fail to
find the real thrill of life, after or
even De1OTS 1OFLy.
One of the things that may be
neglected, even by the alert
woman. is the care of the knuckles
and the elbows. The hands, as we
know, have a way of registering
the years even when there is no
sign of age on the face or the body.
The only way to avoid this is
by giving the hands and arms spe-
cial care. Lotions and creams are
necessary. Some of our readers
tell us they use creams and every
thing to keep the hands nice, but
it does not help. We have found
this out in our treatment of the
skin, and you will see it will help
in keeping the hands and especi-
ally the knuckles from having that
dry, wrinkled surface. Never put
on any lubricant without first
cleansing the hands thoroughly.
Any dust or dried soap left in the
pores will irritate the skin.
Be sure to have a soap that Is
agreeable to your skin. Then the
best way to clean the knuckles is
by q soap massage. This calls for
a thick, creamy lather Of the soap
and warm water-not too hot nor
cold enough to shock the skin.
Take from 3 to minutes for a
good rubbing. Then remove the
SOaO with clear water.
D. M do not send out a treat
ment for warts or moles. as I feel
they should be treated by a physi-
clan. There are different varieties
of moles and warts. Some of them
should not be touched, so let a ply
sician advise you about yours.
We have some nice packs in
our Hand and Arm Treatment
that will make it easy for you
to have lovely, soft, young, white
hands. You may have it with
out charge. Enclose a stamped,

is not yet my fiance? / know q
girl isn't supposed to give any
thing valuable to a man to whom

me to marry him, he talks cOntin-
ually about our home, and plans
for our joint future. He is very
fond Of reading, and hopes to ac-
quire q nice little library.

BY all means, give him books
Find out who is his favorite
author, and give him a set of that
authors works. If he happens to
like Dickens, you will be able to
get some very good bargains this
year, as the hundredth ami
verSary of Dickens birth, now be-
ing celebrated, has brought out
several good and inexpensive edi-
tionS.
If he likes modern authors, try
and get him first editions which
are always valuable, If the popu-
larity of the author holds out.
How about poetry? That can
always be depended upon for a
romantic present If the young
man enjoys poetry.
