want to see grow up and be good
citizen. And yet with all our
bureaus, commissions and investi.
cations, and money spent for this
and that, we seem not to have any
niche inCo which a girl and her
baby can fit, without that terrible

them.
STIGMA STILL HEAVY
The stigma OF illegitimacy Is
still heavy on this country. AS the
result. infants are daily done away
with, thrown into rivers, killed and
left in ash and garbage cans.
In the case of which we are
writing, the young mother had to
make a terrible decision. Should
she abandon her child and hope
he'd fall into good hands, so that
he would have his chance in the
world, or should she try to keep
him, as thousands of girls in her
position have done, only to see
him die because she hadn't the
money to give him the things
baby must have in order to live?
An agonizing decision for a
mother to make. What thoughts
must this girl have sewn into
those tiny garments, the beauty
and fineness of which were prob
ably due to her imagining he
would have more of a chance if
he looked prosperous?
Several European countries have
removed the brand of llegitimacy
from children born out of WedloCk.

Beauty
By DONNA GRACE

One of the danger mlleStoneS
on this endless beauty trail is in
difference, or perhaps we should
call it lack of curiosity, or that
certain something that makes us
want to try new devices and new
methods.
You must know that the beauty
fashions and methods undergo
marked changes every year. Every
season now boasts of it's own spe-
cific styles and new ways of being
beautiful.
Every woman should try to
learn of the things that will add
to her charm. When she finds
she is content to settle down with
the same routine from one year
to another, there is something
lacking in her pride and her abil-
ity to keep up with the times.
Some women feel this indiffer-
ence when they advance in years
that of all times is the time to
be alert for the aids that will
offset the changes that may come
when youthful beauty begins to
fade.
There are so many things that
keep women attractive and lovely,
even after middle age, that any
woman should be anxious to see
what improvement she can make
in herself. Take, for instance,
the permanent wave, when the
hair needs it, and the smart hair
cut that will give one that
soignee.
Gray hair may be a JOY if it
is kept we'll groomed. 1t needs
rinses to give it a smart blue or
orchid tint. then a final pat
of brilliantine. The middle e-aged
woman who has never worn a
bob has a real treat in store. A
well-Shaped bob will take years
off her appearance.
One of the compensations Of
middle age is, as a rule, a clear,
unblemished skin. There are
facial packs and new devices for
cleansing the pores, which will
give that lovely transparency to
the skin. Just take stock of your
beauty and see what it is that
you need to make you lovely.
l will be glad to help you with
any of your beauty problems. En-

envelope for your reply and ad-

Don't smile at the latter term,
please. The young mans Worldl"
possessions were considerable for
his age and outlook on life. They
consisted of a very beautiful
layette, of such good quality and
fine workmanship that the finders
of the waif, and the authorities to
whom he was turned over, came to
the conclusion that his mother
must be from some wealthy family
Speculation as to the baby's
identity ran high, and tracers were
put on the little garments. But,
as they were almost entirely hand
sewn, that clue failed.
Stop for a second and consider
| the emotions of a girl sewing love
ly little things for baby she cant
keep; that through some obllque
twist in our group thinking, with
it's accompanying condemnation
of an unwed mother, a girl feels
she must abandon her child, so
that she can face the world again.
NO MONEY, NO JOB
This very young man, entirely
on his own, with assets consisting
of a lovely handmade layette, was
turned over to a receiving home,
an infant asylum or similar place
to which they send abandoned
babies.
Then someone (there's always a
someone) sent an anonymous call
to the police, naming the mother.
And she proved to be an un-
employed servant who said as CO
herently as her choking Sobs would
permit:
81 left my baby in the office
building because 1 thought he'd
have a better chance than with
mel have no money, no job.
I've got 10 look for work, and
who would take care of him."
So they gave her back the baby,
and one can't help thinking what's
going to happen. Will she take
care of him and starve patiently,
or will she get a job and neglect
him?
According to medical authority

on the morning of the wedding.
On your card you might write,
All good wishes for your happi-
ness always, and thank you for
your kind invitation to me-"
If you decide to send a simple
wedding gift, instead of flowers,
you might send, say, a vase, or a
halfdozen or dozen of sheer linen
tea-napkins or cocktail napkins, or
nest of four ash trays .. . some
thing like that.
If the prospective bride is living
at home and there is an older
woman who is hostess of that
home ... say an aunt or an older
sister -. it is this hostess who
would appropriately write the we'd
ding invitations. Or the bride-to-
be might write these invitations
herself.
The Washington times., 1936-06-22

"PleaSe tell me If it would be
appropriate for me to send her
gift or would it be better if only
my friend would send her one?
"How should the wedding invi-
tati0ns be written when the mother
of the girl to be married is not
living? 3D."
1t would be pleasant and man
nerly of you to make some ges-
ture of appreciation of this kind
invitation, even if the invitation
is indirect. So suggest that you
might send some very simple we'd
ding present, or you might just
send a box of flowers to arrive

HOSTESS GOWN

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
What is the correct apparel
for a hostess at an informal
bridge-luncheon in a hotel? At a
formal bridge-luncheOn in a hotel?
do the same rules apply for
hOstesSeS of a private party in a
family club? For a club party?
rs it ever correct for a hostess
to wear a long gown when guests
do not. at a home party, hotel
party, club party? PAT"
At either an informal or a
formal bridge-luncheon given in
a hotel, the hostess should wear
day clothes, street-length with a
hat.
Yes.
When the hostess is entertain
ing in her own home she may
wear a long gown. but it is best
taste for her to wear a day dress,
stree .ength. when she is enter
tail 4g at a daytime party out
side of her own home.

Picnic Table
HERE'S something that will de-

It's a folding table with every

that it doesn't take up much space.
When not in use, it folds up like
a box, with space enough inside
for your bathing suits, or what
ever you might like to put there.
There are even cut-out handles,
so that it will be easy to carry,
and a hook that holds it shut.
When it opens up, legs appear and
are snapped firmly into position.
There you have table to spread

the mayor of Havana, and has both
legislative and administrative ex-
perience. He has practical knowl-
edge of Cuba's domestic problem and
he has a sympathetic understanding
of his country's special relationship
to the United States.
His record as mayor of Havana was
outstanding in several respects.
Without aid from the national treas
ury he built two large hospitals and
large industrial school for boys, and
he made it his personal business to
see that they and the other institu-
tions maintained by the city were
competently and efficiently managed.
Finally, say his friends, the Cuban
people have faith in him and will
give him patient support. They are
weary of revolutions and dictators and
want nothing so much as a speedy
return to constitutional government.
Critics See Downfall.
The foregoing Is In substance what
Comez's friends and admiring we'll
wishers say. Comez's political enemies,
on the other hand, and cynics gen.
orally, paint much more somber pic
ture. They point out that for Gomez
to succeed the first requisite will be a
strong and disciplined party behind
him. This he has not got. His elec-
tion last January was effected by a
coalition Of his own personal party,
the Accion Republican,, with frag-
mentS of the old Liberal party and
the Nacionalistas. aided by fortnight
support from the Army. 1t is said that
these groups will quarrel with each
other. just as happened with the
coalition government Of Mendieta, and
that they will drift away from the
President. Gomez is not a strong"
man and will not be able to supply
the cement to hold his assortment Of
followers together. Nor will he be
able to give them jobs to keep them
contented.
Nowadays things happen rapidly in
Cuba. After Gomez goes into office
May 20, not many weeks will pass be-
fore he will be put to a test. If he
meets the first test with ability and
courage his chances will be enhanced
OF being the man to carry Cuba from
the chaos and bloodshed Of the recent
past to the peace and prosperity that
should be Cuba's lot.
