throbbing at the gate. They led Chin-yen out,
and seated between her mother and the man

through the streets of the city her husband
practically held in the palm of his hand
When they returned, the tables had been

that she must sit at her husbands side at

~HIN-YEN fixed her eyes on tremendous
peony vibrating in splendor upon the
huge red satin banner behind the man
~ she was marrying. The blood pounded
in her temples and waves of dizziness went over
her. The collar of her brocade sheath was
stranglingly high and tight; she fumbled surrep-
titiously with the buttons of jade and brilliants
at her throat, but dared not unfasten them.
She must not faint, not here upon this scarlet
hung stage before all these people, not now
while she was being married.
She felt like puppet doll worked by three
sticks = gorgeous costume draped on hand
full OF sticks, a nodding head and acquiescent
hands, no feet at all, gliding about fioofless
stage, her movements and her very voice sup
piled by some unseen manipulation. She bowed
three times to the man she was marrying. She
faced about and bowed to the assembled guests.
The man she had married was offering his arm,
and confused though she was by the peculiar
modern custom, she slipped her hand under his
gray sleeve and tottered gracefully from the
dais on the high gilt heels of her foreign slippers.
Chin-yen was just seventeen. She was daz-
zlingly beautiful. Her sleek little bobbed head
was weighted with tiara of pearl and crystal,
and clouds of pale pink gauze wedding veil

his breath.
Chin-yen looked at him. She had never
seen him so close before. His face looked as
big as the moon and he was smiling at her
with thick dull-red lips and great many teeth
under his clipped military mustache. His eyes
we're greedy between their heavy lids. He was
very splendid in his uniform, with bands of
gold lace and red shoulder sash and rows of
glittering medals across his big chest. He looked
ten feet tall with the white plume springing
from his cap like fountain. Chn-yen felt
dizzy.

and the women guests clustered around to
finger her veil. Their voices were loud and
meaningless like the shrieking of parrots. Her
mother presided, resplendent in peacock blue
velvet little too tight upon her ample person,
with dozen new rings on her hands, her con-
versation proudly punctuated with "the Gen
eral - the General - the General" ."

Hundreds of hunters have been

ACTED TOO HASTILY
"Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"My husband and I have been
separated for more than a year
and have just secured our final
decree of divorce. Our quarrel
was too hasty, and / regret the di-
vOrce very much.
meanwhile, I've met another
young man, intelligent, well edu-
Gated, who seems to be 100 per
cent in love with me, and who has
offered me every comfort as his
wife. But the trouble is, I'm not
in love with him.
perhaps the difficulty Is that
I'm not used to good treatment,
and husband buying me clothes
and doing everything for me. I'm
so hardened to a mean husband
who would never provide that it
really bOres me and makes me
restless when this second man
does so much and wishes to do
more.
Things are so smooth that i
become impatient. But, in spite
of his bad treatment of me, it's
the first man 1 really love.
"ELOISE."
If you're still in love with your
first husband, in spite Of his bad
treatment and his unwillingness
to provide, it doesn't seem sensi,
BILE to consider marriage with
someone else with whom you're
not in love.
But does the husband you have
The Washington times., 1936-11-14

"But he keeps on harping on the
fact that I made this date. 1 did
not tell him about this until about
a month ago. In the meantime,
we have become engaged.
"And he took this motor ride
from an entirely different point
Of view than l imagined he would
take it. He threatened to break
our engagement, although he said
he still loved me.
"T told him was sorry, and
really am. would not have gone
for this motor ride, on second
thought.
"He has never gone with an
other girl since our first date, and
keeps bringing this up, which
makes me very unhappy.
"DO you think should consent
to breaking our engagement and
not seeing him again? 1t would
be hard to see him as a stranger.
Cor do you think 1 should try
to persuade him that this motor
ride was entirely innocent, and
that another couple went alOng?"
UNHAPPY"
This entire business, as related
in your letter strikes me as much
ado about nothing" You were
not even engaged to the young
man when you took this motor
ride, and 1 can't see what he's
"beefing" about. You ask if the
engagement should be broken with
your consent.
I think most high-spirited girls
would break the engagement not
on account of having a perfectly
innocent date, when they were not
engaged, but because they'd find
life too difficult married to any
one jealous as Othello.

Send Present
In Advance

ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 am invited to a wedding, and
1 would like to know few facts.
Here they are:
The wedding is to be at the
brides home at Z o'clock in the
evening. 1t will not be formal, so
what do you think l should wear?
THE bride will be my sisterin-
law. AS l enter should l give my
gift to her, and what should l
say to her?
81 am going to give them a sill
yer salt and pepper set. Do you
think this would be appropriate?
81 am to be a witness. After
they are married what should l
say to my new Sister-in-law"
&C."
I suggest for this type Of house
wedding that you wear either an
informal dinner dress or a "dressy"
afternoon dress. For instance, an
ankle length dress, of crepe or
some similar material, with a
matching or harmonizing (of
lame, perhaps, so popular at the
moment) short jacket, would be a
very appropriate costume.
Indeed this type of costume
is one of the most useful and
practical and adaptible cos
tunes of the season.
You should send your we'd
ding present to the bride-to-be
before the wedding, at least a
week before if possible. Wedding
presents should not be taken
to the wedding.
The point is that we should
allow time for the bride to write
her thank-you notes for her we'd
ding gifts before she leaves on
her wedding trip.
Yes, this is a very appropriate
wedding gift, especially if the
set is of the same pattern as
her flat silver. However, it isn't
necessary that they match. But
if they don't it is well to buy
them in a plain pattern.
After the ceremony, kiss your
new sister-in-law and tell her
what every bride loves to be
told and deserves to be told,
that she was a lovely bride"
and that you are happy and
proud to have her as sister"
That's a nicer word than SISTER
in-laW."

try, but not in the United States.
The result is that my two brothers
are often in trouble, have been ar,
rested, and have had to pay their
fines.
81 can't associate with my old
high-schOOl crowd, because things
are so wretched at home, with the
boys getting drunk and one of them
stealing friends handbag, with
a purse in it. I'm just about at the
end of my rope, as far as putting
up with things Is concerned.

Where parents actually need a
girls earnings to keep them alive
that's one thing. But it is quite
another to demand a girls pay
envelope to pay fines for drunken
brothers who are not above lifting
a purse now and then.
In your case, my dear Aline, !
should tell your mother she must
decide between having you remain
at home, or leaving, if she expects
you to contribute your earnings
toward getting your brothers out

place a large tissue or towel over
the dressing table or use a special
apron or cape for this purpose.
Never let powder sift on to the
carpet as it is liable to leave a
spot.
In short, when the makeup IS
finished there should be nothing
to show what cosmetics have been
used.
All cream jars and tubes must
be wiped off carefully before they
are put back. Keep a special
gauze or fresh tissue for this.
There are so many little boxes
and cases of all sizes to be had
that one may have just the right
one for each article.
Keep all the manicure imple-
mentS in one place. If there are
steel or silver pieces wrap them
in wax paper or cotton to protect
the sharp points and keep them
from furnishing.
KEEP TIGHTLY CORKED
Perfume bottles must be wiped
off every time they are handled.
The cork is replaced securely so
that the contents will not deteri-
crate.
Vanity cases that are carried
must not be used day after day
with the same little powder puff.
There are all sizes for sale, so be
sure to change frequently.
Keep the case polished if it IS
metal so 1t will always look bright
and new, and be sure the inside
Of your bag is always scrupulously
clean.
While you may be spared the
scrutiny of the future mother-in-
law, don't forget your adored boy
friend expects his girl to be the
neatest and daintiest one in the
whole world.
