BAPTISM
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
my husband and 1 have been
asked to stand up for a baby
baptismal. would like to know
who should hold the baby and
who pays for the services?
DO we give gifts to the child?
~"
The godmother holds the baby
in her arms, standing directly in
front of the clergyman. And it Is
the godmother who pronounces
the name of the baby, very dis
tinctly, so that the clergyman
hears the name correctly. The
parents of the baby make all ar
rangementS for the ceremony and
pay all expenses.
The godmother and the god
father give gifts to the baby or
you and your husband may give
a gift together, if you prefer. The
gift may be dress or other article
of wearing apparel, silver mug.
a porringer, a set of knife. fork
and spoon, marked with the baby'S
name or initials. Or you and your
husband might start a bank &C.
count for your godchild, with a
sum as small or large as you wish,
and add to it on the baby'S future
birthday anniversaries and at
Christmas.
This is a very practical thing to
do, for there are so few things to
give a baby, and these things are
so apt to be duplicated by rela-
tives and friends of the parents.
And you can begin the bank &C
count with the sum that you have
blldgeted for your gift.

Twenty-Five years have gone by
since Europe started cutting
Threats on a grand scale. The
marching women OF today were
then young enough to be swept
off their feet by the spectacular
panorama of war-flags flying,
bands playing, the tramp of
marching feet, For God and
Country" held high on banners.
So they did their bit, went into
munition factories, nursed, drove
cabs, buses, tractors anything to
take the place of the men who
had gone to the front. And in do
ing these things, they felt a spirit
of consecretion.
But today, when more than a
score of years have passed, these
women are asking themselves
some ruthless questions-and put
ting these questions up to their
government, too.
March on London
The cables reported that 1000
English women marched on Lon.
don, contending that the war had
robbed them of a chance to
marry; they are demanding pen
sions for all unmarried women
workers who have reached the age
of SIS. These 1000 were delegates
representing $4,000 members OF
the National SpinSterS Pension AS
ISOLATION.
Not a few of us still remember
the gentle SpinSterly aunt, or
grand-aunt, who was robbed OF
her chance to marry by the Civil
War. Imagine a group Of these
gentle ladies marching on Wash
ington, banners in hand, de
handing pensions, because the
Civil War had deprived them OF
husbands, children and homes
of their own.
Instead, they sought refuge
with some relative, who agreed
to take them in and give them
a home "for helping out" This
helping out, of course, amounted
to being an unpaid servant--one
who, in addition to doing all the
family chores, had to hear all
about the family troubles because
she was of the clan. She never
dreamed of holding her country
responsible because she had not
made the matrimonial grade.
Up to Government
But no such false delicacy,"
as they call it, have these Eng
lish spinSters. They contend that
they were forced to become self
supporting because 100000 men
of their generation were killed
in France, and it's up to the
government, they say, that sent
these men to war to look out to1
surviving SpinsterS.
Their leaders said in interview!
that these women were being
crowded out of jobs by younger
women. and could not hope to
hang on to employment until
they were IS years of age. when
they would be entitled to the
benefit of an old-age pension.
Better preparedness in this
country rather than war to keeE
the spinsters of future generations
from marching toward Washing
ton, demanding a bonus for the
soldier boy they might, could
would, or should have married.
The gentlemen on the hill" who
object to appropriations for de
Tense should stop to visualize ar
army of spinsters, no Longer
young, swooping down on the
Capitol to demand pensions for the
husbands they never had.

Beauty
Hair Growth
on Face
Rx DONNA GRACE

Our informal worries increase
with time, and unless 1--WE girls"
bring them to family conference
now and then, we will be weI-nigh
Swamped with them.
Some of them can easily be dis
PEELED because they are Of no great
Importance, but others are genuine
irritations that make us indignant
and often resentful.
One Of the worst Of these, I be-
lieve, is superfluous hair on the
face. SO far as we know, there is
no excuse for its sudden appear
ance, or for it's absurd tenacity in
outstaying its welcome, once it is
here.
In looking over my correspond
ence I find many Of your letters
putting the blame for this upon
beauty cosmetics.
Perhaps this is natural sup
position Of yours. At least 1t is
safe to say that every well-known
brand of cream, as we'll as some
formulas that I have give1 out,
have been held up as the direct
cause of this growth Of hair.
But in all my experience, I have
never known of any case where
beauty creams have caused the
hair to grow on the face. Neither
have I ever heard any skin Special-
ist. or physician, claim that cos
metics would produce such an et-
feet.
If ever we find a cream that will
grow hair, it will be a day OF re-
ioicing for the bald heads.
During every woman'S span OF
life there are certain changes that
take place naturally, and these are
accompanied by a number ot
changes in the texture Of the
skin. as well as by the growth OF
superfluouS hair.
We do not know why some
women have this growth and
others do not; neither do we know
why it seems to appear so unex-
pectedly, when everything else
was going along so smoothly.
MasSaging the face may, or may
not, have some stimulating effect
on this growth. if its appearance
is due, but we know many women
who massage their faces every
night with rich creams and never
have any Superfluous hair.
Some women use depilatories
very successfully. This is a tenn
porary relief, of course, and can
always be repeated when desired.
Follow the directions on the pack
age of any of those you select
for use.

CMART on your dinner table,
~ especially if you're going in
for spherical ornaments, are these
salt and pepper shakers of crys-
tai and silver plate. There's a
faint design etched on the crystal
sphere, and the holes the salt
pours out of are conical, so that
the dampness won't make it clog.
It cannot corrode, either, as the
salt is in the glass only. The base
is of silver plate, and there are
four designs to select from. They
are 81 for the pair.

CMARTEST of the new table
- lighters which have just been
imported from England, is the
style sketched, we think. They
are made by a world famous
maker of lighters, and are differ
ent because they light electrically.
You fill the lighting rod, which
lifts out of the top by means Of
the ball, like any other lighter. In
the base are small batteries. To
sight, you place the rod against
the base, making a contact with
tho column. The flame springs
up Immediately. To extinguish,
you simply put the rod back into
the center column. There's an
other style with one single column
rising from circular base, and
the same round ball on top. These
lighters are modern and good look
ing. They come in enamel, or
gold and enamel, at SIS and $3.50.
