he has learned something about

take him down a peg or two.

for a while we both smoked in
silence. He was the most out

ANSWERS "BAFFLED'S"
LETTER

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Il was highly interested in q
letter which appeared in your
column some days ago, signed
"Baffled." The man who wrote
you under that signature had ap-
parentIy enjoyed all the "toys Of
desperation" in his pursuit Of
happiness.
His last adventure was to fall
in love with girl whose religion
frOwns on divorce. He had been
twice divorced, and was consider
ing marrying this girl without tell
ing her of these two back chapters
of his life.
"That explains the gentleman
thoroughly. Any man who would
be willing to marry girl under
such grossly false pretenses is
unworthy of the name.
"He should tell her and let her
choose between her religion and
his fIimSy affections. If she's
sane, she will choose the former"
SERENA"
Here's hoping that the girl in
the case may see our correspond
ent'S letter. We are completely in
accord with Serena'S point Of
view.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"My little boy has been very
sick and out of school for month.
One of his teachers and three Of
his classmates called and brought
him a lovely big basket Of fruit,
dates, figs and candy.
1--WE thanked the teacher and
classmates that came, and asked
them to thank the others in the
class. Would it be necessary to
write a note and have the teacher
read it in school? If so, please
tell me what to say. "E."
Yes, not only would it be
gracious for you to write this note
of thanks to the other students in
the room, but it is really neces-
Sary.
You know how sweetly children
plan such gifts as this, how much
they count on expressed apprecia-
ton, how disappointed they are If
it is not forthcoming. They will
love your writing to them, telling
them of your little boys thanks
to them.

this:
'You dear friends Of BObby's:

Bobby's happy face when Miss
Carr and your three classmates

that you had thought Of him so
sweetly and generously during his

he has asked me If will write to
tell you his deepest thanks for
your goodness to him, to send you
all his love, and to tell you that
he is looking forward to seeing
you all very soon and then to
thank you personally for your

For a Better Figure

&oE beLCer Figure
ESPECIALLY this year,
~ with the princess line in
vogue, with your waistline
right up under your bust, or
no waistline at all, with the
top of your hips silhouetted,
it's important to be well cor
seted. The foundation gar
ment you wear may well make
or break your costume. There's
a right foundation for every
figure, and it's of the utmost
Importance to find it, not only
for appearance but for health
too. Some women have great
difficulty finding the right
thing.
We can't diagnose at a dis
tance, of course, but We can
pass along bits of information
from time to time, especially
when we find something new.
And now our attention has
been turned to the elastic that
is used in foundation garments.
We've all had experience with
poor elastic, that puckered,
bulged and developed black
heads" where the broken ends
stuck out. It's most unsightly,
as well as no good for the
figure.
Nov there is a better grade Of
AN elastic being used in founda-
ton garments. called "Gripnit. /"
It's in most Of the better lines,
and perhaps you're wearing it
right now, without knowing about
it. It has three great points in its
favor. Even when cut, it will not
pucker, break into loose ends, or
bulge. It gives complete figure
control without undue restraint.
It is made in this country, and is
not nearly as expensive as the
foreign elastics to which you may
have turned for better support.
And perhaps it's better! It's locked
into permanent web. that's
the secret, and that is where it
gets its name.

Fairfax Says bride School Aids d. c. Love Problem
Daily Bath Is
Beneficial
BY DONNA GRACE

At one of the recent fashion
shows we overheard two women
talking of the usual things, such
as clothes and the daily interests,
but all at once during lull in
the general noise we heard one
of them say:
Its the baths which a girl
takes that make her skin so
haggard and dull-lOOking. 1
don't believe we need a bath
every week. It is weakening
and certainly ruins the skin"
We could hardly believe our
ears. They were intelligent-look-
ing people, but I do wonder what
makes them think a bath once q
week could be harmful. We have
always felt at least one bath a
day was part of our daily sched-
ule, and we like a shower in the
morning and luxurious tub bath
at night.
The skin needs stimulation, and
there is no better way to do this
than by the bath. The sebaceous
glands are supplying the oils that
lubricate the skin and the pores
permit the elimination of the
waste fluids. This function goes
on all the time, and even though
one may not feel that the skin is
soiled in any sense it needs to be
refreshed and cleansed by a daily
bath.
Skin that is not bathed fre-
quently and regularly is quite
likely to become horny and cal
loused because the dry chiffon
skin is not removed as it should
be, and also during cold weather
we have the condition known as
goose pimpleS. This is natures
way Of protecting the skin against
the change Of temperature, but
when the skin is kept healthy and
clean, 1t becomes so soft and pill
able it will seldom have this rough
surface.
When the skin functions nor
mally, the circulation Of fresh
blood to the surface will prevent
callouses and chills.
There is nothing quite so invig-
Grating as the salt glow type Of
bath. It is so simple we are apt to
overlook its benefit, but if a jar
of salt is kept in the bathroom it
will be reminder to use it often.
There is nothing complicated
about it. All you need do is to rub
the body all over with the salt
just as one does with alcohol, but
of course there will be a good fric-
ton to the salt and it will leave
the skin thoroughly smooth and
glowing. Then stand under the
shower for a few moments and
you will feel like at least a mil
lion.
Another good type of bath is the
epson salt bath. 1t is one Of the
favorite methods Of reducing and
will relieve Inflammation in the
b tissues and take the soreness and
irritation out of swollen, tired feet.
Take pound of the salts to the
average bath tub, and then remain
in the warm water until it begins
to cool. These baths are mex
pensive and are the same as those
used in some Of the famous spas of
Europe. Once or twoce a week Is
often enough.

bands start at the back Of the

in front, where they end in fox
heads. The bands are high and

Just look and you'll notice that
short-skirted cocktail frocks are

Patch pockets are pleated.
