ice Fairfax Says That Love Has More Than One Dawnng
Etiquette
Anniversary
Gifts
By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

BY MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKhAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"Please let me know what would
be a suitable gift for a thirty-fifth
wedding anniversary? Please make
more than one suggestion. I want
the gift for a very dear friend
and her husband.
"Is it possible to buy cards con-
graduating on a thirty-fifth ami
versary? S."
The symbol of the thirty-fifth
wedding anniversary is coral {.
which obviously doesn't help us
very much in our choice Of a gift
for this anniversary If we wish to
abide by symbols.
The wisest thing to do about
sending gifts for wedding ami
versaries is, in my judgment, to
disregard symbols, and send a
gift that we know, or, at least,
hope, will be welcome to the home
of the couple celebrating the an
niversary.
It's a bit difficult to suggest
"the perfect gift" without know
ing the home, and without know
ing what your budget for the
gift is. A set of lovely china
plates that can be used for des-
sert, salad or for buffet service is
always an excellent present. So
is a set of linen-cloth and nap
kinS or runners and napkins-for
breakfast, luncheon or dinner.
And one could always find a
place for one of the amazing
group of new clocks being offered
at the moment, or a Tampa floor
lamp, table lamp or desk lamp.
An occasional table, coffee table
or an end table may be chosen. A
desk set, vase, or a decorative
bottle or box-any of these may
be as expensive or as inexpensive
as you wish.
You will probably be able to
find a greeting card for this an
niversary-there seems to be one
for every conceivable occasion.
"Dear Mrs Beeckman:
Il am moving into a new home
and having sort of a housewarm-
ing party. I intend to send out
invitations and would like to know
the following:
"What should I call the occasion
ON the invitation?
"HOw soon should the invita-
tions be sent out. now much in
advance? L."
You couldn't call the occasion
for this party by more charming
and hospitable name than the one
which you have used. . a house
warming"
Send your invitations about 10
days in advance of the date Of
your party.

Up in front goes the new fall
footwear, throwing the spotlight
on the center of the shoe. Taper
ing tongues of black suede appear
on black kidskin step-in pumps,
the most important fall type.
Graceful papilllon bows are posed
at the throat of aubergine kid
pumps, and wine kid oxfordS scale
the instep, then suddenly are cut
away in an effective D'OrSay line.
The shoe of the hour is the
gored "bottine," or little boot. Elk
tremely smart in rich fren green
kidskin, these little ankle-high
boots are high style fashion,
grand with the new furred fall
suits.

Beauty,
BY DONNA GRACE

It is not likely that we will re-
duce our arms and shoulders I'M
less we regulate our diet and gen.
eral habits.
There is no need to go on a
drastic diet when reducing any
part of the body unless one is very
much overweight. In that case
there is no advantage in trying
to reduce arms or any one part
more than another.
Even when one does a routine
of strenuous exercises to the eX-
tent of becoming physically ex-
hausted, it will not reduce the
weight and size of any part of
the body if the diet is rich one
composed of more fats, sweets and
starches than is necessary to suS-
tain the body and strength.
Neither will reducing be Satisfac-
tory even with a drastic and re-
stricted diet, if you are inactive,
so you must understand that the
best method of slenderizing any
part of the body is by a sensible
restricted diet combined with eX-
erciseS.
The exercises for reducing the
arms and shoulders are the kind
that will tone up the whole body.
There are, of course, reducing
salons that will do great deal to
slim the figure and discipline the
body, and unless you can do your
own exercises with regularity at
home, it is better to put yourself
in charge of an expert and let him
take the responsibility of the work.
You will have a great deal Of
satisfaction with your own efforts
if you will just assert enough will
power and try to follow a course
at home.
You may have my course If you
wish. Just ask for the Arm and
Shoulder Reducing Exercises and
enclose a stamped. self-addreSSed
envelope for your reply and ad-
dress Donna Grace, Beauty Editor

When Prof. Pitkin wrote Life
Begins at Forty" several compare
lively young publishers readers
turned the book down flat. These
young wiseacres were apparently
under the impression that life was
about over at 40.
Another publishing firm took the
book and sold 200, 900 copies right
off the bat, and the book has con-
tinued to be among the best
sellers.
But please do not interpret this
bit of publishers lore to mean
that you've got to wait till the
gong strikes 40 before beginning
to live.
VALUE OF YOUTH
Some people go through life
without ever living, die at 80, and
are buried without ever coming
out of sort of perpetual trance.
The young Alexander Hamilton
began to live in his early teens
and was the counsellor of men old
enough to be his grandfather in
his early twenties. Read good
biography of Alexander Hamilton
il you want to know the value of
youth as an asset.
In spite of the stigma of illegiti-
macy, which was a handicap, in
deed, in Hamilton's day, our first
Secretary of the Treasury had a
magnificent way of making life
stand and deliver exactly what he
wanted of it-Success, fame, and a
marvellous woman for his wife.
Among your acquaintance, you
probably know dozens of people
who never really live. They are
the dreamers-those who live in
the past or the future, while the
present, with golden opportunities,
rushes by; people who spend their
lives regretting:
ooh, if I hadn't done that" Or
eff had only done differently"
Meantime fate, opportunity,
luck-call it what you will-has
banged at the doors of such peo-
pie and, never finding anyone at
home, has gone away in disgust,
to leave its blessings where they
would be taken in and appreciated.
A UNIVERSAL LAW
AS you were reminded in the
beginning, very young people have
a way of feeling that life ends
with the first unhappy love affair.
They have been so happy! Not
only does love deliver us; it also
transforms "dross into gold, earth
into heaven" as a brilliant writer
reminds us.
And when the young hear the
gates of their heaven bang, they
feel that the door has closed on
life, that it's not worth gong on
with. It's black, black despair for
them.
They haven't lived long enough
to know what time will do in the
way of healing: that there is a
universal law of compensation at
work, and that love has more than
one dawning.
This reminds me of a letter
which once came to this column,
from a girl who asked for informa-
ton about going to Honolulu to
nurse lepers. Her engagement
had been broken and she never
expected to smile again.
When I finally got some rather
scanty information for her, she
replied joyously she had changed
her mind, and was on the verge of
becoming engaged to a former
beau whom she never realized,
till now, she had always loved.

Thin Black" Magic


VOU can achieve the effect
l. of "thin black" hose this
fall by means of new stockings
with black heels. The hose
themselves are in taupe tones,
to be worn with black, and
have black heels, so that you
get the impression of "thin
black" AS you know, black
must be so fine and so sheer
that it's almost impossible to
fin d stockings of sufficient
beauty to look well. These,
with their clever imitation,
serve the purpose and are fine
accompaniment for your black
frocks for fall. They are two
thread, lovely and sheer, and
sell for $1.35 or three for $500.
Afternoon Bags
NEW for afternoon are small
4N handbags of cire satin, en-
brOidered in Beauvais embroidery.
They are in nice shapes, oval and
compact, with neat frames and
close clasps. They are fitted inside
with q mirror, and there's plenty
of space for makeup and change.
They can Dc used for afternoon,
for dinner, and for informal eve
ming affairs. The price is amaz-
ing, when you see how lovely they
8re-fOr they are but So.

will continue to come. 1t is not enough for the Ad-
ministraton to say that it tries to keep politics out
The question is whether it has been successful in re-
straning greedy small-fry politicians down the line
A congressional investigation with able members of
both parties actively participating would serve as
the greatest possible bulwark of the Administration
in fighting off politicians who are trying to get into
the relief trough.
TN view of the Administrators policy of turning
Il on the light in all of the business world,
it is difficult to see how Mr.. Roosevelt would want
to take a stand against similar disclosure of what
the government is doing with billions of dollars OF
relief money When the utilities complain that their
private affairs being exposed by senatorial in
vestgators, they told that if they have nothing
to hide they should not object. Salary and bonus
payments of corporation officials are being made
public because the government believes that stock
holders are entitled to know the facts. The Senate
Lobby Committee insists it should scrutnize all tele-
grams of lawyers and others suspected OF attempting
to influence legislation.
How much more important therefore is it to
know everything about the expenditure OF vast sums
of public money?
TINE need for full investigation of governmental
Il expenditures increases as those expenditures
increase. In recent years the scope of government
payments has multiplied until now, the National
Industrial Conference Board reports, 20925 per-
sons are receiving all part of their income from
the Federal government In the last two years ap-
proximately 100000 persons have been added TO
the list of those receiving varying amounts from the
Federal government-more than one-sxth of the
available gainfu workers in the country.
X/OU can give Administration officials full credit
for doing their best to keep politics out of this
expenditure. But politics. like the water that seeps
into your cellar, penetrates anywhere government
money is.
The Administration would have relieved itself of
much suspicion by having long ago placed relief un-
der bipartisan board where opponents of the Ad-
abuses and to incur joint responsibility for any
weaknesses Since that not done it would seem
that Harry Hopkins, in his battle-and he is making
one-to keep politics out of his relief organization
could be assisted in ferreting out political chiseers
by congressional committee in which both parties
would be actively represented. .

Wa shington Merry-Go-Round
DREW PEARSON and ROBERT s. ALLEN

XXIASHINGTON, March 10
w 1t looks as if that doughty
old Tennessee mountaineer, Sec
retary Cordell Hull, at last has
met his match in the behind
the-scenes battle over tariff policy
which has slit so many Threats
inside the New Deal.
Hull is an uncompromising ad-
vocate of reciprocal trade agree
mentS. George Peek, former head
of the Federal Export Import
Bank, fought him vigorously, ad-
vocated subsidized foreign dump
ing. In the end Hull got his
scalp. Peek resigned.
But a few days ago Hull sud-
denly found himself facing an
other enemy. This one was Sec
rotary Henry Wallace, who de-
spite Hull's vehement opposition,
had quietly put through exactly
the same kind of deal unsuccess-
fully urged by Peek.
Immediately the whole inner
circle became embroiled in the
hottest scrap in months.
CAUSE of the scrap is nuts
~ just plain walnuts. Early in
January the Agriculture Depart
ment entered into an agreement
with the walnut growers. 1t con-
tracted to substitute the export of
100000 pounds of nuts at 5
cents a pound. This cents is
the difference between the do
mestic price and the selling fig
ure abroad
This contract was what got
Hulls' dander up. He said it was
contrary to his foreign trade pol
icy. But the Agriculture Depart
ment TODD pat, refused to bulge.
Finally, the dispute was placed
before the Commercial Policy
Committee. This is a body set
up by the President early IN the
New Deal to harmonic Admin
istration tariff policies. 1t is
made up of representatives of
the State, Agriculture, Treasury
and Commerce Departments, the
Tariff Commission and several
other agencies.
Both Hull and Wallace at
tended the meeting of the Policy
Committee. Hull claimed that
Wallace and his walnuts would
stir up tariff wars with other
countries. The United States, he
said could not substitute dumping
abroad. He pointed out that the
French reciprocal trade agree
ment, now in the process of ne
gotiation. might be adversely
