Your starting point might well
be a swagger coat, finger tip
length or longer, according to
what is becoming to you, and how
warm you want it to be, 1t can
be in yellow, gold, violet, pastel
blue, green, pink, white and so
on. The colors and tintS are al
most without limit, and you'll
find coats in all the stores.
Skirts of WOOlenS
Then you select one or more
skirts to go with that coat in
harmonizing colorS. Or they may
contrast directly, just so they look
well together. Perhaps you have
Q skirt already, left from last
summer it may look all right,
too. If it is beige or gray, it is
easy to ensemble with May wine,
which is another favorite coat
color, by the way, with brown, or
with violet or you may even
use a navy coat as a basis for
other colors.
Next thing to do is to look over
your stock of sweaters and blouses,
see how many will go with your
skirts and coat, add some, always
trying them together, for it Is
hard to carry the colorS in your
mind, and there's enough varia-
ton in shades this year to make
your costume very right or very
wrong, If you miss on the colors.
Sweaters Are Best
Sweaters, generally speaking,
are better than blouSes, unless the
latter are Of the soft shirt type,
perhaps Of silk or wool jersey,
and more like a sweater than a
blouse. The ruffled and frilled
bleuses we wear with suits are
entirely out for sports costume.
You may want a short jacket
instead Of a swagger coat, or you
may want both. You'll find that
the stores have plenty Of little
Jackets, most of them in plain
color flannel, pastel or brighter
colorS. If you're going in for
conservative colorS, you'll find
plaids, stripes and checks that
will enliven a gray, navy or beige
and brown combination.
BeretS Return
Hats should be Of the fairly
simple sports type. They say, too,
that beretS of the strictly Basque
type are coming back. nothing
fancy. This years sports hats
have lots of dash, and do not have
to be quite as severely simple as
they've been in the past. AS straws
are so very good, you might wear
a straw soon, though felt is the
best choice, generally speaking.
Scarfs, gloves and bags, shoes
too, are a means to adding
further color to your costume, or
Of accenting the colors you already
have. Sports shoes come in the
most heavenly shades, usually OF
rough suede, in low.heeled com
Portable types. Scarfs you know
about already, though there are
bits of new in them too. And
gloves. in case you've already got
a lot of color, had better be in
chamoiS or natural color. II you're
sure Of your ground you can have
them in gay tones too.

Honey CoIored

A winner In the coat stakes Is
. grand coat of honey colored
basket-weave wooden with a mag
nificent collar of natural king fox,
with inky stripings in its tawny,
pale brown. The collar is cut
square and very wide in front and
snaps under to form great, wide
lapelS.

EXCHANGE OF CARDS

Dear Miss Fairfax:
1.-TWO years ago met q GIRL
who worked In the same Govern
ment department with me. and
took q great liking to her, but hest
tated to show any sign. She left
that department. and I didn't see
her for . long time.
Last Christmas I ventured to
send her . card, but she didn't
acknowledge it. Now she has sent
me an Easter card. Should I send
her o letter telling her / appreci-
ated the card, and in that way
start . correspondence?
"BASHFUL."
It would be quite all right to
send a little note and say you ap-
preciate the card. It would be
still better If you sent her a box
of candy or some flowers-if you
live in the same town.

Dear Donna Grace: I am won
dering IL you can help me. You
see, it is my skin. l have black
heads and pimples, and my
mother says it is all my fault be-
cause / eat so much candy and
cake and pie, but just love
sweets and can't help it. Sylvia"
Dear Sylvia: You have pride in
yourself or you would not be ask
ing for advice,
Why not exercise enough self
control to curb this sweet tooth
and listen to Mother? You may
eat some sweets occasionally, but
try to make your meals consist OF
a balanced diet of fresh vegeta-
bles. fruit and a moderate amount
of meat. Drink plenty of water
and milk also. believe you will
find that my Milk Facial will
clear your skin of those blem-
iShes. I will be glad to send it to
you without charge. Ask for the
Milk Facial and enclose a
stamped, self-addressed envelope
for your reply.
Dear Donna Grace: The
girls in my club want to have q
distinctive manicure of our own
and our club c0lOrS are blue and
red, so we thought it would be
smart to do our nails in red and
blue TO carry out the cOlOrS al
ternating-One red and the next
blue. Would that be smart?
"ANGELICA S."
Dear Angelica: Conspicuous
makeup is never smart, and you
would not really care for a mix
ture of that kind. However, I
would advise you to try it just
among your own group to satisfy
your urge to be different.
You would enjoy the thrill of
wearing it, and it will mean your
nails will have some extra groom
ing. Have blue thumbs and lit
tie fingers, also the middle finger
in blue, then the first and fourth
in red.
Dear Donna Grace: / am
Fl years old and I never had my
hair Singed. Il this necessary
and what benefit Is it to the
hair? MRS. O. L."
Dear Mrs. o. l.: Singing is
seldom done now. It is based on
the old theory that the hair was
hollow and tubular. and when
the ends were burnt they were
supposed to be sealed so that
the vitality would be retained in
the hair shaft. Modern hair spe-
cialistS have found that smuggling
is of no benefit to the hair, and
as it requires time and care to
do it safely, the method is seldom
used.
You may know that the hair is
separated into small strands and
rolled firmly to the ends. Then a
lighted taper or an electric torch
is moved quickly up and down the
roll so as to SINCE the short hairs.
After that a shampoo is necessary
to remove the odor of burnt hair.
"Dear Donna Grace: I am
young and attractive, am 81 and
weigh LOG pounds and am S feet
2 inches. Do you think 1 am too
heavy? have a pretty figure.
The upper part Of my legs is too
fat. What exercise should 1
do? "TRUDY."
Your exercise should be gen.
eral and especially movements
that will stretch the large
muscles about the hips. Lie on
your back and do so of the
bicycle-riding movements. Why
not send for my Normalizing
Exercises and have a complete
set of attractive and effective
movements?

OGaF MISS &1F16Xs

invited me to 90 to . dance with
him the next evening, but didn't

pect to run into him at another
party soon. How shall 1 treat

When q young man has been as
uncivil as this one. don't you think
it would be flattering his vanity
If you ignored him or attempted
to pay him back with equal rude
ness? That would show he had
hurt you.
Be pleasant. but I shouldn't

a youth so lacking in good man
ners that he doesn't know enough
to phone some sort Of excuse when
he breaks an engagement.
