Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

my husband has no parents but
he keeps in touch with an aunt
only on such occasions as Christ
mas, and so forth. She was very
thoughtful and sent us a wedding
present, but my husband was late
in acknowledging it and she seemed
quite angry, for which 1 don't
blame her. What / want to know
is:
SHOULD / have thanked her
also? l have never met her so how
should he sign any card-message
to her John Brown or Mr.. and
Mrs. John Brown?
II have several out Of town
friends who have never met my
husband. How should 1 have
signed my Christmas cards to
them? "B."
Yes, since wedding presents are,
or should be, sent to the bride-to-
be, and since they belong to her,
you should have written note OF
thanks to your husbands aunt. If
you haven't done this, please do
it as soon as you can. I, too, don't
blame this kind and thoughtful
aunt for being hurt when she was
not thanked Immediately for the
wedding gift that she sent. Even
The Washington times., 1936-12-29

at this late date you can write
her such a gracious and apprecia-
tive letter, not only of thanks but
also of friendlinesS-''n nicely" de-
votion-that she will realize that,
even though the letter is tardy.
your heart is in the right place"
Greeting cards. of any kind,
that you. and your husband send
to this aunt, should be signed,
Mary and John. In other words,
they should include both your
names, and they should be in
formally signed.
Your Christmas cards to out-of-
town friends should have been
signed Mary and John" If these
names wouldn't have been enough
of an Identification, then the last
name should have been added. But
both names should have been used
even though your husband doesn't
know these friends. And, in sign
ing greeting cards, your name is
signed first.

LONELY ADMIRER."
SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY

Dear Miss Fairfax:
This letter hardly comes un-
der the head of love affairs, unless
you take into consideration the
fact that the more opportunities
a girl has the better are her
chances for making a happy mar
riage. AS you see from the post
mark of this letter, 1 live off in
the mOuntains-a hill billy, you
might call me.
II had to stop high school be-
fore 1 finished, but my teacher,
who took great interest in me,
gave me extra lessons at her home,
and Pm so anxious to improve.
Il saw in the paper the other
day that a number of vocational
schools had been opened for girls
since the election, and I'm just
about crazy to enroll in one of
them so that I may learn to earn
my living and have more of a
chance than is open to me in this
little community. My teacher has
suggested my writing this letter
to you.
"SALLY-OF-THE-RILLS.""
Nothing will give me more
pleasure than to give you all avail
able information about the SO vo-
cational schools which have been
started to help girls acquire a
more liberal education, and with
it the ability to earn little
money.
Three vocational schools have
been started in camp, the feminine
equivalent of CCC camps for boys.
AS I understand from the Di-
rector, 5000 girls have already
been enrolled. If you will send
me a self-addressed envelope with
a Scent stamp, I. shall be glad to
give you the names of the States
where these camps are situated,
and the best method of procedure.
The course of study is four or
five months long, you are fur
nished with board and clothes,
and given S. wages.
It's a magnificent idea, and
Mrs. Roosevelt is keenly interested
in the success of the girls CCC.
This offer is open to any other
girl who is interested.

BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENTS
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
when cards are sent annOunc-
ing the arrival of a new baby, are
they sent to the infants aunts,
uncles and grandparents when all
reside in the same city in which
the baby's parents make their
home?
"If the infant is born in hos,
pitaI, are cards sent to other ten
ants in the house in which the
baby's parents live? "W."
Since these close relatives of the
baby would be notified of the birth
at once, it would be pointleSs to
send them birth announcements.
If the other tenants in the house
are really friends of the baby'S
parents, it would be gracious and
thoughtful to send them birth an
nouncements. But the birth-an-
list should not be eX-
tended to mere acquaintance.

Yes, it is correct for the brides

good friends that she wishes him

The soup is easy for overtaxed
digestive systems to aSsimilate. 1t
is filling and usually helps TO
create an appetite.
Soups of the canned types are
so varied that their taste never
becomes monotonous.
However, many housewives have
favorite recipes that they prefer
using for their soup making.
Some of them can be made
quickly, others take hours to pre-
pare with a careful check needed
on the seasonings used.
Soups from foreign recipes are
no more difficult to make than
the usual favorite.
They do lend spice to the
familiar menu. Some of them are
thick and provide a whole meal
in themselves.

Riviera Fashions

m HIS year we will be able
l. to have resort fashions di-
rect from the Riviera. 1t seems
that Marian Stephenson, one of
the more authoritative fashion
lists who has flair for photog-
raphy, brought back dozens of
photographs from the late Riv-
iera season, and released them
to American manufacturers.
These clothes, which were worn
by the best dressed people in
the world, have been copied in
American cottons and linens,
and may be purchased in this
country. They will be shown
in the January Good House
keeping, and so you'll have a
chance to study the pages and
buy similar clothes. Whether
the exact things will be avail
able in Washington or not can
not be determined at this writ
ing, but it's likely they will
and anyway, you can find
things that are just about the
same in our own local stores.
Advance news of the clothes
stresses the introduction of
rompers for play or bathing
suits, usually worn with a bras
siere top and a short Or long
coat; stripes, and the use of
black and white; printed suits,
classic Stacks, plus tours, a
culotte skirt, bandannas by the
score, tons of shirts and sweat
ers, caps, parasols, sandals and,
OF course, dark glasses.

Beauty
By DONNA GRACE

All the world loves a lingering
breath of fine perfume, and we be-
lieve that every girl should make
it a part of her fine toilet and per
feet grooming. We think it wise
to have several different selec-
lions rather than to concentrate
on one scent and make it our own.
There is a difference of opinion
about this, of course, for many
women like to choose one distinct
perfume for all of their toilet
equipment, including powders,
rouges, creams and toilet waters.
Pronounced individuality is
strengthened by the grouping idea
upon one scent, but it becomes
monotonous after a while, and per-
sonally we miss the thrill that
comes with the final addition of
an inspiring new perfume.
There is another discouraging
thing about selecting any one
aroma for all occasions with the
obvious hope of making it your
own. For you will be sure to find
that several thousands of women
have favored the same delicate
scent that you have. So it is not
possible to make one yours, unless
you have an individual floral COM
bination made up especially for
you alone.
You will find it satisfactory
when planning to renew your
perfume equipment, to bear in
mind these few hints. Always
purchase the very best quality
you can afford, to begin with.
And then, make it a promise
never to use a heavy scent
never in the morning.
Heavy oriental pungents are
in very bad taste except in the
evening, and then they should
be carefully chosen and worn
with only the most formal gowns
of gold, silver or jeweled fab
RIGS.
After the morning bath, a tot
let water rub, followed by a
busting with your perfumed bath
powder, is quite correct for morn
ing, but no other perfume should
be added until later in the day.
Delicate floral scents are nice
when worn with your m a t
luncheon outfit, and when you
change to a more elaborate cos
tune for late afternoon or the
cocktail hour, then the newest
bouquet, or exotic scent COM
binations is correct. But remem-
Der to use good taste in the
use of perfume, as well as in
the selection of it, or it may
prove oppressive to others and
sometimes in closely crowded
rooms, even Objectionable.
Special scents for all occasions

this enviable field, and also those
