LACE TABLECLOTH
ar Mrs Beeckman:

Dear Mrs, Beeckman:
"Will you please inform me If
it is proper to use a lace table,
cloth on a dinner table? If it is,
what kind of napkins should one
use with it? S.
Indeed it is very lovely and
thoroughly proper to use a lace
dinner-cloth. We should be very
grateful and proud to have one to
use! If it is real lace, using such
royal background for our table
setting gives a formal air to our
table, and our other accessories
must be in keeping with it. A
copy of a lace cloth doesn't tend
to such formality. and there are
excellent copies nowadays.
Often matching napkins are
sold with the lace cloth as a set.
Usually then the napkins are of
very sheer linen. with lace edging
and perhaps with a medallion in
Sert. If there are no napkins with
the dinner cloth. the best thing to
do is to use plain linen napkins,
damask or sheer linen ones.

Beauty
How to Brush
The Hair
By DONNA GRACE

Spring midsummer and fall are
the favorite seasons for perman-
ent waves, although they have be-
come so much a part OF our
beauty routine that there can
hardly be any designated time for
them. We have them whenever
they are needed.
Hair that grows slowly needs
only one or two permanentS a
year, but the normal, healthy hair
may have to be waved every three
or four months, and 1t seems
every one is ready for a spring
permanent.
You have right to expect a
good strong and beautifully-de-
signed wave, provided the hair is
in good condition, and with
enough elasticity to permit the
necessary stretching. Very fine
hair will always need special at
teption, but if you go to a good
operator, you may be sure when
he examines your hair he will
know what to do.
When the wave Is finished. it
will be soft and permanently out
lined in an symmetrical pattern
that will conform to any style. 1t
may be combed and brushed vigor-
ouSly, and the wave will always
spring back into line. This is what
many hair dressers call q self
setting wave.
It is not a misleading statement.
either, but we find many women
who misinterpret it. Many of them
feel they will have no further need
of the hair stylist, but when the
original wave becomes disarranged
and the hair itself seems to be
straight and uncurled, they i'm.
mediately condemn the permanent.
The very best wave will not set
itself into a correct, fashionable
hair style, but the girl who wears
the loose, fluffy style and also the
ones with very close-cut short bobS
may get along without the pro-
1CSS1Oud4 0CLNACC, IL 1A1CS "AoAA'
However. we recommend at least
an occasional visit to a first class
shop for the girl who would keep
up with new styles.
Every permanent is improved
by thorough combing and brush
ing, and you will learn how to do
your own easily when you are
familiar with the wave outlines.
See that your hair is healthy
and in good condition before
each permanent.

Turning the conversation back
to food, asked them what they
had discovered at the market that
was new and different. Jane ex-
claimed at once about the aSpar-
aguS and that she had new way
to prepare il. Here is her recipe:
Cook whole stalks of asparagus
In saltc0 Tater until tender. Place
eight or ten stalks on each slice
of toast and pour over them a

l tablespoon of butter
2 tablespoons of flour

MOURNING
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Here is my problem. We are
in deep mourning for our only
daughter, who passed away dur.
ing November. No one could
mourn any more for a loved one
than do. But some of my in.
laws are constantly making re.
marks about the way 1 dress,
They say / should wear all white
house dresses.
At the present my husband is
not making very much. and even
with the most careful manage
ment 1 am not able to purchase
many new clothes. MY house
dresses. are printed with white
backgrounds, with either green or
blue small patterns. they are
light shades. / have only one
black dress, and always wear it
when 1 go out. l keep it fresh
by cleaning it and keeping it
pressed. have a dark navy
blue dress, but these in-Iaws got
very excited because 1 made the
remark that expect to wear the
blue dress next fall.
81 told my in-laws that it
wasn't the clothes that were in
mourning but myself. Will you
please tell me if I am doing the
right thing. / am doing my best.
II am sure no one could mourn
ones little daughter (She was
six any more than / do. But
to be criticized every time 1
meet them is very hard, and
then not knowing if 1 am right
or wrong makes it doubly hard.
Of"
You are thoroughly right in
everything you think and do about
this question of mourning clothes.
And they are being not only cruel
but ridiculous as well in their point
of view. For such a young child,
1t wouldn't be necessary for you
to wear mourning at all. And how
right you are, how deeply right,
when you say that your heart is
what Is mourning, not your clothes.
Wear the house dresses that
you have. White dresses for the
house are luxuries only unlimited
budgets can afford.

SHE'S LONELY
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"SeveraI months ago my hus-
band was accidentally killed, and
/ find it very hard to take up life
alone. 1 have three boys, 13, 16,
and 18 years of age. AS they are
in school and the older one work

self a good deal of the time.

enough to count. go out to

meet some cOngenial people and
have a little society.
"I'm Al years of age, and find
life terribly
Lonesome"
Your problem is the same as
that of many women who have
led entirely domestic lives, and
have made no contacts outside of
the home. But there are all
sorts of agreeable contacts to be
made in cities. See what clubs
are open to you. One is always
safe in making such inquiries
through the Y. w. C. A. or ones
own church.
Brush up your bridge playing.
Also. many people older than you
have learned to dance we'll.
Your lodge should offer some
possibilities. Are you standoffish,
or do you meet people halfway?

Color is the most dominant
theme, and the town is riot with
it. New colors that we had scarce.
ly thought Of are suddenly smart
and important. And most intrigu.
ing of all, they are mixed into de-
lightful contrasts and harmonies
that remind you of anything from
a bowl Of fruit to vase of flowers.
Gay Mixtures
If you have an eye for color, and
can do it well, it's smarter to have
two colors in your accessories than
one. L mean two rather vivid col.
ors. For instance with your bou.
tonniere gray or navy suit, you
can wear bright green blouse, navy
hat with the tiniest feather com.
bining green and red, navy bag,
and red gloves. with a scarf
that has both red and green in it.
That may sound wild but it will
be called smart. A season or so
ago you would have picked up
either the red or green in the bou'
tonniere, but this year you can
use both!
The New VioIetS
Then there are the violets and
purples. lovelier and more popular
than ever. They're being worn
with suits Of navy or gray, and
used in combination. Violet
blouse, purple bag, and if you
can't match the bag with gloves
exactly, add chamois gloves. all
Of this with a blue or gray suit.
Yellow and violet are a grand com.
hination, but must be harmonized
carefully, or they will look just
little wrong.
There's a whole range Of pinky
yellow, coral and peach tones, not
to mention the real yellows, includ'
ing q shade called butter, which
are grand. They make nice bIouses
and sometimes you can find gloves
to match exactly. You can wear
accessories in any harmonizing
color, with a bunch of violets on
your lapel, if your accessories are
gray or navy.
MimOSa Appears
MimoSa is a new greenish vel
low, almost mustard, that is very
smart now, but is so bright that
you only want little of it. IT goes
nicely with navy. gray, deep reds,
rusty or not, and even with plum,
which is talked of for blouSes.
Black is smarter than ever, too, for
blouSeS, and you can wear acceS-
SorieS in white or color.
OF course suits are your natural
background for gay accessories
though there is no law against put.
ting them with neutral prints, and
with coats that are simple enough
to take them. Remember that with
suit or dress that is fuSsy OF
elaborate, your accessories must
be simple. It's because so many
of our suits. coats and even dresses
are untrimmed and rather tailored
that accessories are ha wing such
grand chance this year.

to q degree approaching blindl
Sometimes it is merely an addi-
tional delight of love that this
blindness serves to enhance so
greatly the charm of the beloved
one.
But sometimes the fact is
fraught with serious danger.
Madly In Love
Here, for instance, is the case
of Maysie X, who is so madly in
love that she seems quite incapable
of seeing either the man she loves
or her own situation with regard
to him.
81 should be the most bliSSful
girl in the world" writes this 49,
year-Old, ''if it weren't for one
thing. The man whom 1 adore,
who adOres me, and who would
know how to make me supremely
happy, isn't free to marry me.
Isn't that q tragic fate?
I'VE have known each other for
three months, and from the very
first moment we saw we were
made for each other. There was
hardly any need to say a word. We
simply flowed toward each other.
And since then, what heavenly
hours we have stolen in order to be
alone together!
But, of course, it had to hap
pen that this wonderful hero of
mine, before he ever saw me, had
to marry. Now that he loves me
so much, he would of course leave
his wife and marry me, but there
are two children, and he is so con-
scientiOus that he heSitates.
"Tell me what you think Of
all this. You can easily guess
what my heart prompts me to do.
/ don't want my own family to
suffer from any action of mine,
but the man 1 love has first
claim on me; don't you think so?
Indeed, hasn't love, always,
the first and greatest claim? E.
"By the time you read this let
ter, / may have proved to my
beloved that I believe this to be
true"
Only a profoundly love-blinded
girl could speak of mans exist
ing marriage (Which, for all she
knows, may be a perfectly happy
one) as a mere detail, trifling
obstacle to the attainment OF her
own feverish desire.
It may be that this poor child
loves with a really great love.
But, alas, how unwisely she has
bestowed it!
If it were not for her love-blind-
ness. she could easily see that,
since the man she loves is mar
ried and expects to stay so, her
only conceivable course is to
break off with him, short and
sharp.
Claims Of Love?
I have, of course, written imme-
diately, hoping that my sympa-
thetic warning may reach Maysie
before it is too late.
The claims of love? In this case
they have, of course, no weight
whatever, since this love affair has
no reasonable foundation, no
right to exist at all.
I cannot blame any girl whom
a man, older and stronger, has
emotionally swept off her feet
and brought to the point of blind
ness.
But must very greatly blame
the married man who has allowed
a young girls ardor to grow to the
point where she is considering her
life for his sake.
If Maysie can regain her vision
and realize the cruelty and selfish
ness of the man who has made
love to her, 1 am sure she can re-
cover from her heart wounds and
comfort herself, in time, with an
honest love.
