Secret of
Being Well
GrOOmed
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

6ACA6 AAASS6s
TT DOESN'T matter who you are;
it doesn't matter what you do:
it is expected of you. at this season
more than any other time of the year;
you must be beautifully groomed.
Women in business have very high
beauty standards. They have to have.
A woman has to be neat and trim
and tidy in order to get the job. For
most masculine minds run something
like this: II she is neat about her
person, she will be neat and efficient
in her work Thereafter she Is ex-
pected to look as nicely turned out
as she did the day of the interview.
If she slips up, there are plenty Of
others who can fill the job and an
swer the neatness requisite as well.
The head of a very fine beauty salon
tells me that she numbers business
women among her best and most con-
Sistent customers. Precious little time
though they have, they manage to
set some aside for beauty's sake.
Women in the home have high
standards. too. They have TO have.
Their children and husbands respect
and admire them the more for it.
And, let's be perfectly frank. isn't it
expected of them? The most ador-
ing husband in the world cannot help
but make comparisons. He sees
women in his Office every day-fas-
tidius, fresh looking. always. And
these women, he contends, have less
time to spend on themselves than the
homebody. So what excuse VIII he
accept?
So you see, no matter what your
occupation or avocation, you simply
must look the picture Of groomed love-
illness. And somehow standards are
higher in the Spring. It's the little
details, you see, now the big things
that really make for good grooming.
For very few, if any, women overlook
the big things. The big fallacy is in
thinking that others will not notice
the little things that are perhaps
skipped-a heel run down, a stocking
seam twisted, a button missing, a
shoulder strap showing, few wild
hairs marring the beauty of the brow.
an uneven or unkempt hairline at the
nape of the neck, gloves ever so
slightly soiled, and powder puff
(horrors) much more so. Each in
itself tiny detail. Put them all to-
gether and an otherwise clean-as-
can-be person becomes slipshod-a
quality which is all out Of step with
the Spring scheme.
Strangely enough. many women
who are most particular about giving
their bodies the ultimate in cleansing
and care, often slip up on the details
of grooming as applied to the ward.
robe. Do you make a habit Of brush
| ing your clothes as you take them on,
so that a wee whisk with the brush
will be all that is necessary when you
put them on? Do you find time for
all the little details? There 1t is, the
time element-it makes all the differ
ence between the well-groomed woman
and the one who isn't for the first
manages somehow to find time and 1t
is a pleasurable not tiresome task.

Of the others efforts.
A woman must be tolerant OF a
mans profession and understand the
various demands that are made upon
him. This is particularly important
where he is apt to receive feminine
attention.
A woman should be content to live
within her husbands income. Any
man resents it when his wife spends
his money foolishly and extrava-
gantly. Spending is her job, and she
should have sense of responsibility
about it.
A man loves to share his troubles
with woman and get her sympathy
and understanding. A wife therefore
makes a mistake not to encourage
her husband to tell his difficulties and
take her into his confidence. She
should give all the qualities of mind
and heart and soul that she has.
There Is always great longing
in the human soul for companion
ship, for some one to share this
mysterious experience of living.

A FTER having listened to the
~ tales Of woe of hundreds Of
~ thousands Of disgruntled hus-
n bands and wives, I am con-
vinced that the real secret Of how to
be happy though married consists in
being good picker. In knowing
what you want in a husband or wife
and to shop around until you find it.
For the success of a marriage depends
more upon the qualification Of per-
sonal tastes than it does upon either
principles or performances.
To give at least as much serious
thought and consideration to the
choice of life mate as you would to
the purchase of an automobile is such
an elementary axiom of prudence that
you would think every one would
automatically observe 1t. Such, how
ever, Is not the case. The man or
woman who would not think of in
vesting in a car without seeing if it
was of a reliable make, what sort of
an engine it had, how much gas it
consumed, If suited to their purpose
and If the way it was painted cap
tured their fancies, will marry a stran-
ger without even trying to find out
what sort of family he or she came
from, what kind of character he or
she possesses and whether he or she
was built for the kind of life he or she
would have to lead after marriage.
About no other act do people dis
play such utter foolhardy recklessness
as they do about marriage. Yet it is
the one most important thing in their
whole lives and the thing upon which
their happiness and prosperity and
general well-being depends. 1t is the
one thing in which they need to use
the most clearness of judgment. for
If they make a blunder they can never
retrieve it. If they choose the wrong
husband or wife the marriage is
doomed. Nothing can save 1t.
THE quarreling husbands and wives
who make marriage misery on
earth for each other, the violent ones
who fight their way to the divorce
courts are seldom shrews and viragoes.
or brutes or moral lepers. Generally
they are good, kind, upright men and
women who would have made some
other woman or man a fine husband
or wife. Their trouble was that they
we're poor pickers. They got the
wrong ones.
This being the case and most men
and women being Of at least average
intelligence and using fairly good
Judgment about their other affairs in
life, it is a mystery past all compre-
aension why they marry so casually
and use so little sense in selecting
their mates.
And a mystery even surprising this
is why they are SO artlessly surprised
after marriage at finding out what

The Associated Press says: "The
Government Philatelic Agency, which
profited more than a million dollars
by issuing special imperforate stamps
last year, is again being swamped with
orders from stamp collectors dazzled
by hopes of quick profits.
1T started when 50-cent airmail
stamp. issued in honor of visit OF
the Graf Zeppelin to Chicago, was
withdrawn from sale at the agency.
Throughout the country the price on
this stamp promptly skyrocketed to
So copy, representing quick profit
of 800 per cent to those who had laid
in supplies. Even Cancelled copies OF
this stamp, which sold at about As
cents when the issue was current, re-
Gently sold at auction in New York for
more than S1.50.
COLLECTORS. hoping that history will
repeat are now concentrating their
purchases an a 16-cent steel blue air
mail-special delivery stamp, which
will be replaced by stamp of similar
design, but of red and blue bicolor, to
be issued tomorrow. The steel blue
stamp was unpopular because postal
employees often did not recognize it
as a special delivery stamp and gave
letters to which it was attached or
dinary firSt-class handling. Issuance
in distinctive colors is expected to
obviate this.
Because Of its limited use, can
celed copies of the original 16-cent
airmail-special delivery stamp never
did fall much below 12c retail, and
wholesale prices ranged from &c to
1oc each. Offers as high as 12c each
wholesale already are being made now
that the issue will not be reprinted.
Hence the sudden demand for un-
used copies, which may be purchased
at face value at the philatelic agency
and at some post Offices. Spectators
are determined they will not be
caught short on this issue, as they
we're on the 50-cent Zeppelin stamp
and have high hopes the market will
experience a similar boom as soon as
the Post Office Departments supply
Is exhausted and the steel blue type is
removed from sale.
"Other airmail stamps experiencing
booms in the wholesale marts are the
10, Is and 20 cent values, which are
not expected to be current much
longer in view of rumors that a set
in multiples of cents will soon be
announced"
The new 16-cent bicolor airmail-
special delivery issue will be on sale
at the philatelic agency, the Washing
ton City Post Office and the Benja-
min Franklin Station at O'Clock
tomorrow morning.
Plate numbers are: Blue, 21495,
21496, 214s7, 2149s; red, 21491, 21492,
214e3 and 21494. The former repre-
sent the centers and the latter the
frames.
Those who desire specimens of the
potato tax stamps may order from
the collector of internal revenue,
Jacksonville, Fla. There are 13 de-
nominations to the tax-paid set, be-
ginning with s4-cent and running
through S1.5o, total face value S5.1712.
Distribution has been limited to
