Other New Features
We're showing suit with this
lapel, on this page today, the
man snapped both going and
coming, so you can see every fea'
ture of it. Notice the side vents
in the back of the jacket, and
the fact that the fullness of the
chest, which has been so popular,
has been extended under the arms
of the coat so that there is greater
fitness at this point than has
been seen heretofore.
This suit is particularly good
in stripes, either in the chalk
stripe, which is photographed, OF
in cable stripes, so named because
the stripe looks like a small cable.
The accessories are worth
noticing, too. The flower is a
deep maroon carnation, and is
the only deeply contrasting note
of color, as the suit is in two
tones of blue, the shirt white
the hat a blush gray, and the
smart foulard tie a navy with
lighter blue and white figures.
Gloves are gray, too.

Such a fashion is the notched
shawl lapel. 1t has evolved be,
cause Of the popularity of shawl
collars in the evening, especially
on summer evening wear. Men
become accustomed to a fashion,
eyes decide that it looks right, and
they want to carry it over into
other types of attire.
From the Evening
The shawl collar, made popular
first in the evening, has not come
over into day wear without a
change. In fact it isn't really the
same thing, for the daytime
notched shawl is merely an effect,
not q reality. It is made by the
collar being nearly as wide as the
lapel, so that it looks like a shawl
with a notch.
This type lapel and collar came
out last fall, and we reported on
it. 1t was too new to be seen in
great numbers then, but this
spring it is so popular that it de-
serves mention again and per-
hapS again. It is definitely diff

WEDDING PLANS
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 am about to become en-
gagged. Should my parents ask
my fiance's parents to come to
our home to discuss the engage
ment and wedding plans, or is
it my fiance'S parents place to
ask my mother and father to
their home? incidentally we live
only two blocks from each other.
Should the bride or bride
groom finance the expenses of
the wedding and the fees Of the
reverend?
"My fiance'S parents are leav-
ing on a cruise. Is it proper to
give them anything before they
leave or after they come back?
What would you suggest as a
gift?
'My aunt is coming from the
West Coast by boat. My mother
has not seen her in over 20
years. What is proper to give
her when she arrives? &C."
Since your parents and your
fiance's parents undoubtedly
know each other-although you
don't say anything about this
it would be the more natural
thing for your parents, since
they are the ones who plan and
give the wedding, to invite your
fiance's parents to your home to
discuss the plans for the we'd
ding.
It Is the family Of the bride
who pay the expenses Of the we'd
ding, since they are the hosts OF
the wedding. The bridegroom pays
for the wedding license and gives
the fee to the minister; buys the
wedding ring and gives the bride
her bouquet, and usually gives the
bride a wedding present, some
times a piece of jewelry which
she wears at her wedding; gives
gifts and their boutonniereS to his
best man and usherS, and sends
corsageS to the brides mother and
to his mother, and sends bouton-
nieres to the brides father and
to his father.
It would be pleasant and graci-
GUS of you to send bon voyage

Eye Make-Up
For Spring
BY DONNA GRACE

You will be interested to know
of a new method of eye makeup
to use with your spring costume
and also with your smart formalS.
1t is one introduced by Serge
de CORN, a makeup expert, and
used by the Ballet Russo and the
Opera Comique, and is popular
with other groups of the stage and
screen. He specializes in the tech
nioue of eye shadow effects.
The blending Of the shadow
with the little finger or the index
finger, as we have been doing. is
not the best way, he tells us. He
uses a special fine, slender camel'S
hair brush. He draws the brush
across the upper lid from the in
side corner to the upper outside
edge. Then from the lower out
side corner back to the inside cor.
ner; then draw a thin line along
the lower edge of the lids, just
where the lashes begin. Then
cross lines for a triangle and, as
he says, give the eyes that in1por.
tant third dimension and greater
depth.
Then outline the lid almost as q
sculptor would, blending the
shadow carefully and smoothly.
Do not use too much-he tells us
eyeshadow must not be diScerni
BILE at five feet which he calls the
social distance,
Mascara is always applied by
brushing the eyelashes upward
from the roots out to the tips.
The eyebrows are made up with
the same brush. Begin at the tip
towards the nose and brush light
ly, as the hair slants to the edge
we do not draw a harsh, severe
line but rather the dainty brush
strokes.
For the evening makeup you
may be as glamorous as you wish
by filling in the upper lid with
gold or silver instead Of the
violet, royal blue or other dark
tones.

Famous Authority on Prob
lens of Love and Marriage
A young man who has done
very well in the business world
has sent me a challenging ques-
ton in regard to love. And he
is confident that he knows all
that is to be known about love
but that, after all, doesn't
amount to much.
ever since l left high school,"
he writes me, 81 have been an OBJ
server of life and the effect of love
on the lives of men and women.
And 1 have come to the conclusion
that love is q by-prOduct Of en-
virOnment.
IF my observations are correct,
then it's possible for any young
man to fall in love with any Of
the hundreds Of girls with whom
he is thrown in contact. And fol-
lowing out this thought, why isn't
it Just as easy to love q rich girl
as a poor one? And you know,
Miss Fairfax, as well as 1 do, that
there are more rich, eligible young
women than welltO-dO young men.
AFFINITY
"But on the other hand, II love
is not a by-prOduct Of environment
If love is a matter Of affinity
then there is some hope for the
race.
eff there is such a thing as q
sOuLmate in this distressed world,
and there's q chance Of meeting
her, then 1 have something to look
forward to. However, till that
happiness catches up with me
/ love them all.
"Melinda at the adjoining desk
looks as good to me as Belinda,
whom / met at last years dancing
class, and a little red-head 1
picked up on train during long
railroad journey surpassed them
all. But the little wretch wouldn't
tell me her name or where she
lived, and said that unfinished
love affairs were the incest Of all
to look back upon"
This young man signed his let
ter "Loveless Lover" and, in my
opinion, despite the constant
study he has given to love affairs
since leaving high school, he has
still good deal to learn.
He is right, of course, in hold
ing that in many cases propln-
guilty is responsible for love. If
you set a nice boy and a charm
ing girl where they will see each
other daily in office, shop or fac
tory, the chances are that sooner
or later they will fall in love with
each other.
DOES EXIST
And perhaps things will turn
out as well as the most romantic
type of love: and again perhaps
they won't. That depends largely
on the temperament of the low
erS.
In fact. it's on the temperament
Of the lovers more than on any
thing else that a lasting love story
depends. And "LovelesS Lover"
must believe me when assure
him that love based on true az
finity really does exist.
When my young friend tells me
he loves them all no doubt he is
speaking of his capacity for end
less Irritation. If he had been
actually in love, no matter how
cautiously and tamely, even once,
I do not think he would use these
careless terms. But should say
that the thrilling experience of
being actually in love with one
woman is still ahead of him.
And when this first experience
comes-as it's likely to come next
week, next month, or next year.
"Loveless Lover" will make up his
mind that life is really worth
living.
