BIRTHDAY GIFT
Dear Miss Fairfax:

HE has never proposed to me,
nor has he told me he's in love.
But we have delightful friend
ship-gO to the movies and con-
certs, and take long walks to-
gether. The other night he was
telling me his mother was going
to have a birthday, and he talked
over the present he would like to
give her and consulted me about
it.
81 felt would like to give his
mother something too. but 1 don't
want to seem to butt in. Would
it be all right for me to send her
something? "ALECIA."
It depends on whether you
know your friends mother or not,
whether sending her a present
would be in good taste. If you've
never met her, and you're not
engaged to her son, it seems to
me that sending her a present
would be rushing things along. II
he should take you to call in the
meantime, it would be very tact
full for you to send her some
flowers for her birthday.

INV DONNA GRACE

"Dear Donna Grace: 1 am a
young girl of IA years and am hav-
ing trouble with my skin, which
used to be so pretty but now is
filled with pimpleS and black
heads. 1 wash my face every night,
but still the pimples and black
heads continue to come on my
face. Can you tell me what to do
about it? I do not use rouge or
powder. j. M. y.
Dear j. M. C.-Your skin trouble
is not unusual for young person,
but there is no reason why you
should continue to have skin blem-
ishes even in the adoleScent time
of life.
Because this is a common beauty
ill, this treatment has been used
successfully by thousands through
out the country, but it is not pos
Sible to use space for printing it in
the column, so will you please send
for it? There is no charge, but
repeat your request and enclose a
stamped, self-addressed envelope
for your reply. In the meantime,
when you cleanse your face, use a
little brush, especially around the
nose and mouth. Make a good,
creamy lather of the soap, and
then remove it with clear water.
After that, sponge the face with a
solution of boric acid.
Never touch your hands to
your face. The nails and finger
tips may not be free from dust
and soil, and when the hands
are rubbed on the skin it may
cause irritation or even infec-
ton.
1 will be glad to send You my

Milk Facial if you care to have
them. Enclose a stamped, self
addressed envelope for each and

'the brides home. How should it
be carried Out?" 81"
The bride, at her informal
wedding, could wear her travelling
suit, if she wishes. Or, if she pre-
fers, she may wear an afternoon
dress of some color that is favor
tie with her.
Since the groom has decided to
wear a business suit, the brides
father would wear business suit
too. It would be inappropriate for
him to wear formal day clothes
when the groom is wearing in
formal attire. He'd outshine the
groom!
In the receiving line would be,
first, the brides father and moth
err. Next the groom's father and
mother. At the right of the
groom's mother, the groom.
At the right of the groom, the
bride. At the brides right, her
maid of honor. And. if there are
also to be bridesmaids, they stand
next to the maid of honor. The
best man and ushers do not have
place in the receiving line.
After the guests have left their
wraps, they come into the room
in which the reception is to be
held, take their places in the line,
and greet the members of the re.
ceiving line.
After that, they chat with
friends, go to the room in which
the refreshments are being served,
unless the plan is to wait until the
receiving is over. Usually the
guests wait until the bride and
groom leave for their wedding
trip, but this depends on the
family's plans.
All of the serving may be done
buffet fashion, or there may be a
bridal table, and the rest Of the
guests be served buffet style. The
wedding cake is usually the central
decoration of the bridal table.

NEEDS A HINT
''Dear Miss Fairfax:

Deaf MISS talrIa4S
''My problem is that I am madly
in love with q boy who treats me
like a sister. He cOnfided in me
his affairs with other girls, his
hopes, his ambitions. Is there no
way that 1 can make him under
stand 1 love him, and that this
sister business is getting distinctly
on my nerves? UNHAPPY"
A neat way of telling these
young men who persist in regard
ing girls as their sisters, is to say
as tactfully as you know how that
you're a bit tired of their reactions
to other girls.
They're all right. but let's talk
about u.s." one of my young CORE
spondentS wrote me she said to a
certain young man, when she was
tired of hearing all about Kitty
and Mamie and Beulah. The
young man, who had been a bit
dull, finally caught on and pro-
posed.
Another girl wrote she read the
young man Longfellow's Court
ship of Miles Standish" with its
telling line, why don't you speak
for yourself, John?" And then
she added: Speak for yourself
about me-" I imagine she did this
with considerable adroitness, as
some risk is attached. But any
man who constantly tells one girl
about other girls, and his hopes
and fears regarding them, writes
himself down a bore.
This will also answer j. NJ, who
is a bit fed up on the sister bust
ness.

its form. Is it correct? Is it often

JEWELRY GIFTS

w kIA4GA N4A \ ~
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Il have been going with a young
man for a year and a half and he
wants to give me a watch for
Christmas, but / have read that it
is bad taste to accept jewelry as a
gift unless one is engaged. Is this
correct?
"ShOuId an engagement ring be
worn on the left or right hand?
"HOw are the rings arranged
when one is married? "P."
That is correct, dear lady. that
a girl should not accept jewelry
from a man to whom she is not
engaged. And a very wise and far
seeing rule of etiquette it is, too
Your good taste kept untarnished
is better than things possessed.
The engagement ring is worn on
the third finger of the left hand.
The wedding ring is put on the
finger first, then the engagement
ring. That is why, during the
marriage ceremony the bride uS1
ally wears her engagement ring on
her right hand. Then, at a con
venient time after the ceremony
she puts her engagement ring on
above the wedding ring.

SSTTARPER'S BAZAAR" says,
III "Wear under your new thin
Jersey dresses Alix's miraculous,
skin-fitting corselet, dark in color,
SO it won't show through" Well,
we can't give you Alix's corselet,
but we can tell you where to find
practically the same thing-no
doubt a miraculous American
COPY. And why not wear it under
the new net, tulle lace and chiffon
gowns too? It's great help to
have a foundation to match your
costume, especially if it is skin
fitting as Alix's is, and has 1nvlsi-
BILE. non-obtrusive garter fasteners.
This one-piece garment we've
sketched comes in tea rose, blue,
lilac, rose, red or green, and IN
black and white. For $3.50 extra
you can have it dyed to match any
gown, exactly. It's of lasteX net,
sheer and skin-fitting, and is the
most beautifully designed and
made garment you've seen for a
long time. The front and back
panels of satin lastex stretch
down, but not across, so that you
are sure of a flat front and back.
The net bandeau gives you a
lovely bust line, and the carriers
are the --LATEST you've ever seen.
In other words, there's not thing
to be seen under the slimmest
gown. It just looks like you, beau
tifully shaped. The colors 1t
comes in are the new coronation
colors, so they'll be sure to match
your new gowns. In tea rose, this
wonderful garment costs SIS. and
in all other colors $3.50. Or, as
we've said before, you can have it
in any color, dyed to match, for
$3.50 extra.
