Martin Ruin
Sends Whole
TeannHere
BY GINO SINH

The duckpin game picks up
many barnacles in its yearly
course, but ever and anon, a
pearl attaches itself to its keel.
Such q pearl is Martin Ruin,
popular Baltimore operator OF the
Patterson alleys.
Ruzin Is one of those chaps
who has dedicated his life toward
making people more contented
with their lots.
No Pollyanna, he SubScr1beS TO
the belief that a smile and q
pleasant word is far easier on all
concerned than a frown and a
nasty crack.
The Oriole impresario.. whose
14-alley plant provides him with
a comfortable living, is Convinced
that the duckpin-popping paSt1me
is the ideal game for the promo
ton of fellowship and better
understanding, and he never
misses a trick to promote 1t.
Takes Special Pride
Thus it is that he takes special
pride in having his plant repre-
scented in major duckpin events
like the Washington Times Mems
Dixie Sweepstakes by the cream
of the crop which bowls there.
He does everything he can TO
encourage entries and for the
third year he has made arrange
ments to run his establishment
on November IA. the date OF the
Dixie. so that all the Patterson
Alleys pin-wallopers who rate o
chance will shoot in the classic.
He himself will be unable to at
tend and that is a real sacrifice
for he is an enthusiastic follower
OF the better class bowlers and
loves nothing better than to see
them shooting for important
money against the keen compe-
tition that the Dixie provides.

Few. Dining
Room Rules
AndCuStOnlS
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: When a lunch
~ is being given by two hostesses,
where is the guest Of honor seated at
the table?
Answer-There is, as 1t happens, no
fixed rule. If the guest is of great i'm
portance, she might possibly be seated
between them. Usually she is seated
on the right of the elder of the two
hostesses, or, more likely still, on the
right of the one whom she knows less
well.
Dear Mrs. Post: When salad is
served with the main course at din
ner, on which side is the salad plate
placed? I have always thought 1t
might be more convenient to eat from
the right side, but friend argues that
with the butter plate changed to the
right side for the same reason OF con-
venience, this arrangement would
make a very unbalanced table setting.
What do you suggest?
Answer-The salad plate as well as
the butter plate df there is one) be-
longs on the left. Remember that salad
must not be put on the table with a
main course which includes vegetables
with the meat. Therefore, the only
occasion when a salad plate at the side
is proper is when salad is served with
game or fowl in place Of vegetables.
Even so, in most fashionable houses
the salad Is put directly on the hot
plate with the broiled chicken or the
game, "Fashionable" in this case
probably means "Europeanized." Ac-
cording to strictly American taste,
salad is preferred on q crescent-shaped
plate Of its own that IL cold.

The experience, of course, was not
without its compensations.
We discovered, for instance, the
one all-important thing that every po-
tential guest columnist on the wom-
ans page should know; namely, that

PUT why should one say "no"? That
- is another of the compensations.
One learns, if he did not already
know, that there is nothing to be done
about women. Joshua telling the sun
to stand still could not possibly have
felt as silly as a man writing a COL
umn for women; nor could he have
accomplished less. Women just are
and they are going on being what
they are. Hereafter. they can write
columns for one~another and see what
comes of that!
Another thing one learns as he
sees his spine become jelly is that he
is not the only one of his sex who is
afraid of women when it comes to fac
ing them on their own page. One is,
In fact. much more intrepid than those
who, upon hearing of his designation

how weak and vacillating ones own

posed that they do better, they fled

PernanentS
Best to Have Wave
Before Dyeing
Hair.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

MRS. M. B.: So many women have
A'A asked this question that con-
suited number of hair-dressing spe-
cialists whose daily work includes
both tinting and permanent waving.
Some prefer to wave the hair first;
others prefer to tint it first. How
ever the consensus of opinion seems
to be that it is wiser to give the per-
manent wave first. One hairdreSser
mentioned that the color of dyed
hair may be changed by the per-
manent-waving process, that is, by
the chemical action of the heat and
the solution used. Several hairdress-
ers felt that it Is easier to determine
the heating time on natural than on
dyed hair and that dyed hair usually
requires more heat. The dye may be
applied directly over the permanent.
The only precaution in that case is to
remember that the hair Is little
more porous when waved than un-
waved hair and will absorb the dye
more quickly. But an expert hair
dresser will know that. From your
letter, I Judge that you are inter-
ested in knowing more about con-
ditioning the hair before and after
a permanent. My bulletin called
1.-THE Permanent-Long May it Wave"
includes just this information and is
yours for a self-addressed, stamped
(3-cent) envelope.
n y \ X
M M. R.: You ask for the name
" of a preparation that will
really and truly completely remove
deep wrinkles around the eyes and
from nose to mouth, also on the neck"
In the first place, I cannot mention
proprietary products. Sorry. Sec
ondly. if the wrinkles are deep I know
of nothing other than plastic surgery,
perhaps, that will completely remove
them. The use Of good muscle oil
and a tissue cream and persistent
molding may help to make them less
noticeable. Clever makeup will also
have this effect.

do anything. Mrs. Dix doesn't believe
in driving me.
She's not socially ambitious, and al
though she is very pretty, she does not
want a movie career Instead, she's
making wonderful home for our twin
sons and me. That's why my home
has become my greatest interest. When
I'm away, I can scarcely wait to get
back to it.
One thing about Mrs Dix is that
you can never be bored when she's
around. She's interested in every
things, is good talker and has a
grand sense Of humor. She's thor
oughbred and good sport. no matter
what the circumstances may be.
Now you know why, for the first

the air is dry. It does better II given
bit of sunlight each day.
Don't water the begonia heavily
provide a humid atmosphere If pos
sible. Avoid water on the leaves and
blossoms as this tends to rot the plant.
These continuously blooming plants
will thrive beautifully in the eastern
windows
Give your geranium plenty Of sum
light and keep it more or less pot
bound. Set them out of doors If pos
sible in the Summer In a shady cool
place.
The African violet-one of the most
popular plants this year-will not
stand much handling, however If
properly tended it will last for years.
Keep it in small pot and water very
carefully. Always water from the
bottom, as the leaves will rot If water
touches and is allowed to dry on them.
Protect them from too much heat,
sudden changes in temperature and
too little light.
The rubber plant does not need
much watering. once week or every
10 days is sufficient, but give it a
thorough soaking when you do water
1t. Shower and sponge the leaves
often.
The sturdy philodendron grows any
wherein water, soil-in or out Of
doors and needs very little care.
Give your ivy plenty of fresh air
and frequent sprinkling.
The wandering jew does particu-
larly well in cool place-keep its
leaves free from dust this Summer
and, If possible, allow it to stand in
a cool spot.
While ferns need plenty of light it
is best that direct sunlight be avoided.
Keep the top soil loose and water
thoroughly-but remember, stagnant
water is sure death to your fern!
Syringe the leaves about four times
month with weak solution of soapy
water to eliminate dust and to dis
courage insect pests. Don't, however,
use soap composed of lye, mild soap
is best
Hydrangeas lasts longer in a cool
spot-they must be kept free from
draught though. They require a great
deal of water and should be watered
faithfully daily.

~ EAR MISS DIX-The girl

of my crowd. I love this girl. but

1t worth the price ! have to pay for
being the goat of my crowd? All the

because I continue to be such glut-
ton for punishment. Shall continue
to 60 with her and be the said goat,
or shall I find another girl who will
treat me decently? J. L. A. H.
Answer-Very likely the girl Is in

Is just her defense mechanism. She
may not want to marry and settle
down right now, so she SCOTS at love.
Or you may not be just the type Of
man she thought she would fall in

yes, like rats from a sinking ship.
A harsh figure, that, but no more
harsh than some of the names one
is called when he is discovered to be
a temporary resident Of the woman's
page.
Greatest Of all the handicaps under
which one labors, however, Is the
awareness Of having told ones, say,
wife what one is doing. She has heard
one agree with Somerset Vaughan
that the writer is the only free man.:
a freedom derived by putting down
on paper anything that happens to
be troubling him at a given moment.
CHE might ignore his composition for
years, but not when he begins to
be published on the woman's page.
There. she suspects, one will attempt
to write ones way to freedom. She
keeps hawk-like eye on the column.
He knows that she will do so, that she
is ready to take personally every state
ment made therein. He writes accord
ingly, pulling every punch.
So, married men least of all should
succumb to the temptation to become
substitutes on the womans page.
A bachelor might do it, if only one
of them had shown the courage to try.
None of them did, so the only con-
clusion is that the womans page is no
place for man.
One might do creditable job. Of
course, if he could forget his mas
culinity. In such a case, one could
just grab any reliable cook book and
lift bunch Of recipes on how to make
beans alluring, or write glibly about
the succulent bivalve. Or, one might
turn to the press agents of the various
industries having to do with the world
of women and ask them please to write
something. The prune industry. some
thing on prunes; the highway indus
try, something on highways, etc.
r X
IF NEITHER of these methods looked
fitting and proper (although al
most anything begins to look fitting
and proper when the deadline for the
first column arrives) one might pick
up a fashion magazine and rewrite
what it has to say about guests, or
whatever it is that fashion magazines
talk about.
Anything to avoid writing as man to
woman! That's the secret of success
full guest columning on the woman's
page!
We learned it too late But. having
learned it, one never will forget.
And, so the woman's page goes back
to it's regular editor, and her substi-
tute column conductor is going out
to - y
Vale!

Allow Child

Normally
Unwise for Parents

Young.
Star Staff Photo.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

EVERY mother has dream child
a perfectly beautiful child whose
intelligence and charm are irresistible,
a royal personality that brings the
world to its call Something superb
ative there must be in this child of
their dreams. Then the baby comes
and he brings no trailing clouds of
glory. Plenty of other sorts of ex-
preston are soon evident, all very
common among infants, but no evi-
dences of those dream qualities that
were to distinguish him from all other
children.
Usually the mother Is content to
have her baby healthy, happy, ordi-
nary child of good intelligence, but
now and then there is one who
struggles to realize her ideal in terms
of the mortal child she has. Then the
stage is set for trouble. The child
is made unhappy by his mothers
desire to have him what he cannot
be, and the mothers life is embit-
tered by disappointment. ITO think
that should have child like that!'
is the expression of very deep dis
appointment.
There is no perfect child. How
could there be when any child is the
result of characteristics of his an
cestors? With whom could this per-
feet child live? Fortunately we are
never called on to face such q prob
lem as the perfect child would i'm
pose upon us. We have to do with
ordinary children who fit and can be
fitted into our imperfect scheme OF
living. To have that sort of child
to know that he belongs to the life
about him and will find happiness
in living it Is enough satisfaction for
any mother. Gratitude for healthy
normality in childhod ought to fill
the heart of any mother.
The usual child needs good care to
bring out his best and finest qualities
Every child has some strong points
that will go a long way toward max
ing him a successful adult once they
are recognized and developed. These
children ought to have cultural train
ing If they are able to take it and
enjoy it. Music Is a wonderful field
of interest for those who can enter
it even on short excursion. The
more q child understands music, the
more he learns to express his feelings,
his moods, his yearnings and aspira-
tions in terms of music, the happier
he will be. If he can write music as
well as read 1t, If he can play well
on some instrument. he has an outlet
for all his inner life. A priceless gift
Is the gift of music.
The same thing holds true in vary
ing degrees in the other cultural arts.
The more of them child can take
into himself the richer his life will
be. But the child must take them,
and that means he must have, within
himself, the ability to take them. That
is something that cannot be bestowed
save by the fates who preside at his
birth. No dreams Of motherhood, no
parental pride, no greed, can confer
q single cells worth Of talent. # 1t
Is not present at birth 1t will never
be present. It Is best not to strive
for the rainbow.
Give the ordinary child you have
the best education, the richest expert
ences within your reach. Be glad Of
every indication Of appreciation and
growth, but let the dream child fade
in the presence of this actual, human
miracle that Is your son or your
daughter.
