Beauty Counsel
BY DONNA GRACE

One would think from looking at
the shop windows that we were
about to leave for the lands Of
sunshine.
There is an array of the gayest
Of light-colored sports clothes, big
floppy hats, bathing suits and
fluffy sheer gowns all ready to be
packed. The selection of new
things is always a big part of the
thrill of going away, and the
crowded shops seem to indicate
that a thrilling time is being had
by all.
In your excitement over this
lovely new wardrobe, do not for
get to change your cosmetics as
well. You will need a regular sum-
mer outfit of beauty aids, you
know. The shops have anticipated
your needs, and for some time they
have been ready with the Sunburn
oils and lotions to protect your
skin from the effects Of the dry,
hot winds.
Paradoxical as it may seem,
these lotions are the best means
of protection against the extreme
cold or the continued exposure Of
the face in the frosty winter
sports areas. They will keep the
skin fabricated so as to prevent it
from chapping and presenting a
raw froSt-bitten surface.
1t is more fun to talk about
things for the South, so now

think about your makeup, and
remember you will need one for
a darker coloring than you now
have. Leave the powders you
are using at home and get some
of those darker beige, rusSet, deep
rachel, russell, terra Gotta or
blended tones.
When the skin is darker, you
may use a brighter rouge and
lipstick. The fitted beauty cases
are always nice to keep your new
set of cosmetics in perfect.
You will be wearing sleeveless
dresses, so be sure that your ell
bows are smooth and soft. The
heels, too, will be in evidence
through your strapped bathing
shoes and may need attention.
Use your tissue creams or some
of your nice creamy lotions to
correct any rough or calloused
places. Scrub the heels well
with a brush and plenty of soap
and water. Then rinse and dry
and apply the cream. A few of
these messages will make salts

and elbows, too.

Before 1 left him discovered
he ran around with other women,
and had been unfaithful since we
were married. For the first six
months after we separated, he
tried to get me to return, with all
kinds Of promises which he never
kept.
"He has not helped me to sup
port the children for the last IL
months. 1 now have a chance to
remarry. Do you think 1 would
be doing the right thing by my
children?
''What do you think Of re-mar-
riage after a divorce? r. M"
It depends entirely on the type
Of man you're considering marry
ing. Is he fond of your children,
and are they fond Of him? Is his
salary sufficient to give them a
good home and look after their
education, If you should have chill
dren by this second marriage?
What does your mother think
Of this proposed venture? She
should be a good judge, as she
stood by you when your first
marriage went on the rocks. II
your religion does not disapprove
of the marriage of divorced per-
sons, and other things being ia

and probably several seasons.
Then If you're not minded to
have such a tailored suit, there
are those with softer suits under
meath. buttoned up to the chin
and tied there, for instance, or
fitted jackets with soft neckline
most of them with scarfs,
which you can wear several ways,
making them look mannish or
not, as you will.
GrayS and Blues
One smart suit we saw yeSter-
day was of brown wool, fitted in
feminine manner and knotted at
the neckline, not at all tailored.
Over this was a yellow and brown
checked coat. Swagger, long
enough to be a separate topcoat,
this coat offered good possibilities
with other things as well as with
its suit.
There's an almost infinite var
iety in the fabrics found in these
suits, so that you needn't be afraid
you'll look too much like your
neighbor if you buy one. All the
materials that men wear are
there, made up in. combinations
that defy a uniform look.
It's hard to tell what the favor.
ite fabrics or colors are, there are
so many, and they are combined
so many ways. Gray and blue vie
for first place in suits, with the
browns and tans coming close.
In nearly every wardrobe suit,
there is combination of mater
ials sometimes a combination Of
colors. So you see, you can really
take your choice.

me, 'and you should have seen

The new apron in question was
one Of the gay blue patchwork
affairs that has printed in each
block the "rnakinS' of the drinks
on the calendar. This neat affair
had been purchased for SO cents.
Jane said she believed the recipes
would have cost that much.
I made a note of this for I

Of gay kitchenette parties and

They were eager to tell me how

I thought it sounded good, too,

were good, knew that she wanted
to tell me how those were fixed,

TIME TO DIET
Jane explained that they had

friend told her that a cafeteria

charged 5 cents for it. They could
have four salads for 5 cents "a

The Washington times., 1936-02-11

There's so much, in fact, that
we win have to take up the vari-
Gus types of suits, one at a time.
And so for today we've elected to
talk about wardrobe suits, as
they're usually called, those suits
with extra skirts and topcoatS,
grand suits that make a whole
wardrobe in themselves, when you
add the necessary sweaters, blouses
and accessories.
Most Of these suits have, as a
basis, a trim tailored suit, single
or double breasted as you prefer
it. Very often the suit will be Of
q plain flannel or worSted, and
with 1t there will be plaid or
checked skirt, just to change off
and give yourself mixed costume.
Then, topping it all, there will be
Q topcoat Of the plaid or checked
material.
Suit Variations
It's easy to see the almost linn
itleSs possibilities Of such q suit.
For early spring, when it is still
cold, you will want the suit and
topcoat both, and you can vary it
by q change Of skirts, and Of
sweaters or blouses.
Later on, if it's too cool for a
Jacket suit, you can wear either
skirt with the topcoat, finally fin
ASl1iYoC 0ff the SOriT10 with VnIIf
two-jacket suits, the jacket with
either skirt. That really makes
four suits in all. And many stores
are showing these suits at pretty
low prices prices that put
them within the reach of all of us.
Personally, I think you should pay
as much for one as possible. and
get the best quality you can af-
ford, for you will wear it so much,

I've known girls to get away
with this type of courting, but it
has to be done very delicately.
and unless there is a party, it
would be pretty radical for a girl
to go to a ticket window and buy
the seats for a show, while the
young man stood by, waiting.
Correspondents of mine, who
have written me about applying
such tactics to a stalling cavalier,
tell me they say:

Rabbit Sprints to Goal.
AMONG the sidelights to this foot
ball piece de resistance was 60
yard run down the middle of the
field by an unidentified rabbit. The
little animal broke loose from the
Navy side Of the field shortly after
the game started, darted toward an
Army huddle and then switched his
course toward the Navy goal, racing
under the goal posts and disappearing
at the other end of the stadium.

ONLY once in the history of Army

the teams played 21-21 tie before

1t is doubtful, however, if the show
was any better 10 years ago. 1t was
