WITH skiing the latest American
w vogue, we're all preparing
wardrObes of snow clothes, think
ing ahead to snow trains they're
promised for this winter, and
worrying about tender compilations
under The winter sun and wind.
One of the better cosmetic houses
has brought out just the thing,
called "Ski-Pak." It's a wooden
roll, in bright blue or red, strapped
together, and with a place in the
back for your belt to run through,
so your hands are free. 1t con-
tains all necessities, and has room
for change and spare handker-
chiefs, too. There are six beauty
aids, comb, pOmade, lipstick, pouch
powder compact, sun glasses and
Dry Skin Mixture, to combat the
effect of the elements. 1t closes
with a Upper, for safety's sake.
1t would do equally well for Skat-
ing, hiking, golf or any other out
door sport. And it will make a
most unusual gift to anyone who
is athletic minded. It's priced SIS.

TOO LATE
.Dear Miss Fairfax :

"Dear Miss Fairfax:
"My wife divorced me three
years ago, receiving the custody of
our two children. I'm willing to
take the blame; it was my fault for
being a fool over another woman.
But when 1 realized my folly it
was too late, and / thought life
had passed me by.
"NOw, untold happiness has
come to me, and am engaged to
a lovely girl who knows 1 have
been divorced but who has never
asked me any embarrassing ques-
tiOns. The trouble is that every
body sided with my wife, and when
1 take the girl to a dance, a movie
or dinner, some of my former
wife's friends cut me dead, whis-
per, laugh, and seem to make fun
of me.
"This has got on my nerves, and
I'd like to move to another city.
Would it be possible to appeal to
my former wife and get her to help
me in this trying situation?
"REFORMED."
After what you've told me about
your divorce, and I haven't printed
it all, your former wife would have
to be more angel than human to
come to your rescue at the present
time.
Still, people do not regard
divorce today as they did some
years ago, and perhaps your for
mer wife will agree to be more
kind,

'have second honor be placed on her
left? "THANK YOU"
The unmarried hostess may do as
she wishes about the seating ar
rangement of her partner" at her
dinner party. She may give him
the place of honor, at her right.
or she may ask him to sit opposite
her, at the foot" of the table,
Either place is place of honor
But if he sits at the foot of the
table he will be able to cooperate
with her more in the carrying out
of the dinner arrangements and
service, as a host cooperates with
a hostess in this way.
In these informal days doilieS
are often used at dinner, unless
the dinner is a strictly formal
one.
Serving the food on the plates
from the kitchen should, if at all
possible, be avoided. If there is
no service or little service, the
hostess should make her plans
to serve the food at table. This
gives a better sense of form than
serving the foods on the plates
from the kitchen. She can plan
to have a simple first course,
which may be something that can
be already placed at the table
when she summons her guests.
The main course she can serve
from her place at table. She
can do the mixing of her salad
course at table. And she can
serve the dessert from her place
too. The after-dinner coffee she
will serve in the living-room.
All of this means some plan
ming, but it can be simply and
graciously and easily planned, and
this kind of service lends an air
of good form that the "blue-plate
service" never can achieve. If she
doesn't want to do this planning.
the best thing is for her to choose
the always-popular buffet service.
No. Correct service demands
that the woman guest of honor be
served first.
Yes, if the hostess places her
dinner partner" at her right.

"The only thing that makes me
hesitate is that this man never
seems able to eat a meal-lunch
or dinner-withOut having one or
two drinks. I've never seen him
under the influence of liquor, but
I'm afraid of this habit of having
drinks with his meals.
"When he said goodbye to me,
he remarked: I think too much
of you, sweetheart, to see you often,
as am not in a position to marry
though he did not tell me what the
obstacle was.
"Since have come home, I have
not seen or heard from him, but
just can't think about anything
else. Would it be too forward if 1
wrote or sent him a picture postal?
"JEANNETTE."
No one could call sending a
picture postcard forward, but in
this case, wouldn't it be wasting
the card and the stamp, too? You
don't seem to know very much
about this man.
He may be married, or not in a
position to support a wife. If he
had wanted to keep up the friend
ship, nothing would have been
easier than to have asked II he
could see you some time.
AS he evidently regarded the
acquaintance as closed, don't
waste your sweetness on the des-
ert air" on him, as the poet re-
minds us. Twenty-Five is such a
divine age, and you will have
plenty of chances of meeting some
one who annreciateS YOU.

For Gray Hair

NOTHING is lovelier than
~ gray hair, especially when
it is with a young face. But
gray hair must be white, and
must be well groomed. Snowy
whitenesS and brilliant silvery
luster make it really lovely,
and not a suggestion of yellow
streak must show. But grazing
and white hair is sensitive and
easily discolored by heat,
whether of steam or iron, or
from an acid condition of the
system. Ordinary shampooing
does not remove these streaks,
so you must use something to
cover them up. The concen-
trated bluing rinse that hair
dressers have been using for
many years, is now available
in the stores, and it seems to
be the best thing. You just
put a few drops following di-
rections carefully into a
warm rinse water, and pour
it over your hair, combing it
through to distribute it thor
oughly. 1t restores the white
brilliance of the hair, and af-
fects only the white hairs, in
case you re in the "salt and
pepper" stage, leaving the
natural color hair untouched.
It's economical, and a bottle
will last a long time, as you
use only from four to seven
drops to a shampoo. There
are two sizes, priced 85c and
$1.38.

can be prepared without such con-
veniences.
A baking powder can with a
tight-fitting can be used for this
purpose.
Instead of a steamer, a make
shift can be constructed from
other pieces of equipment. Any
flatbottomed kettle can be used.
Place a wire rack on the bottom
of this and place on it the pud-
ding which has been placed in the
mold. Cover with boiling water
to the depth of the pudding. AS
the water boils away it should be
replenished.
The dessert can be made in ad-
vance. This is quite a time saver
for holiday dinner preparations.
AS it comes from the oven, let it
cool, then wrap it in heavy waXed

Beauty

Dear Donna Grace:
81 am a young man, and 1
suppose some people would call
me a sissy for reading a beauty
column, but every time 1 read
yours 1 find something in it that
is some help to me. I believe you
are honest about your advice and
it always seems like you can
Sympathize with people.
my trouble is not just a
beauty question, but to me it is
the biggest thing in my life. 1
have always been self-cOnSciOuS
and downright bashful, and as
much as 1 would like to go to
nice parties, 1 am afraid to go.
When I get invitations from the
girls 1 know, make up excuses
just so 1 won't have to go. The
trouble is 1 wouldn't know what
to do with myself if 1 did go
out. How can 1 overcome this
kind of baShfulneSS?
81 am not handsome, but look
like the average fellow. I would
give anything if 1 could be at
ease with girls. Is there any help
for me? I am II years old and
have finished high school. I will
do anything you say, and thank
you.
"YOurs sincerely,
FRANK"
Dear Frank: Your problem is
only as serious as you yourself
make it. You must stop think
ing about yourself and you will
find you are the only one who is
concerned about your bashful-
ness. You know, bashfulness is
really a confession of inferiority.
It is a mythical something that
does not exist, unless you persist
in giving it that Importance.
You may be sure you are just
as smart and clever as any Of
your friends, and you must stop
trying to stand apart through
any little conceit. Get out every
time you are invited and you will
find your friends will be glad to
have you, if you will give them
chance to know you.
We all make some mistakes,
but that should not make us stay
away. 1t is only by going about
with others that we learn to be
at ease with our associates.
Take up some study and mas
ter it, no matter what it may be.
If you can do it we'll it will give
all the confidence you will need
to meet the girls. Reading aloud
will accustom you to the sound
of your own voice.
Learn to breathe from the
diaphragm and you will not be out
of breath, but will have smooth,
sustained style of talking and
surprise your friends with your
cleverneSs.

After you have been introduced
to a person, you bow to the person
the next time you meet him or her.
If the person seems inclined to
stop for chat, you stop and say
How do you do," and as many
other words as seem appropriate.
You bow and say How do you
do" only to the person whom you
have met. If the person whom you
have met is a man, he lifts his hat
in recognition of your bow, and if
"the others" are men, they too
lift their hats-but they do not
smile or say any words of greeting.
I see no reason why you should
not ask the boy directly, about

- way of cosmetics, something
beneficial to your beauty, and a
bargain besides! What more could
you ask? The story is this: One
of the very good cosmetic firms
has put up a travel case, contain
ing portions that, sold separately,
would cost $3.50. They've put
them into a nice little case with
mirror in the top, and a removable
tray to hold the cosmetics, so that
when they're used up, you can use
1t for a case for other things.
There are generous jars and bot
ties, and everything for complete
complexion treatment and make
up. Included are jars of skin
cleanser, skin toner "a liquid tonic
which removes acid too), skin
nourisher for use at night, spe-
cial cream to prevent or aid
blackheads and enlarged pores
and for a quick beauty treat
ment, and a very special founda-
ton cream which makes your COM
pleXlOn look ike a gardenla petal
and which is waterproof; boxes
of powder, rouge and eye shadow.
The rouge is the cream type which
may be used on both skin and
lips. The powder is scientifically
blended, and, of course, all cos
metics come in your own skin
tones. The whole case was de-
signed to sell for $5, but while they
last, they will be sold for $3.50.
