 All the occult forces appear to pre- sage a period of extreme activity for merchants and manufacturers. Whatever is constructive is well di- rected. Architects and engineers are especially favored by the stars. Again the seers stress the augury that numerous men of action who have contributed to the wealth of t, the nation will close their careers before the end of 1886, thus en- phasizing the fact that the old or der of things is ended

Etiquette
Gift for a Sick
Friend
ByMRs. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

yMRS.CORNEL1US BEECkMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"My family doctor was taken
seriously i'll about 10 days ago. Do
you think it would be all right to
send him a card, and what would
be nice to send along with the
card? 1t is just a year since this
doctor operated on my little son,
and he was wonderful to me and
to my boy, and 1 would like to
show our appreciation for all that
he has done for us. Will you also
tell me what to write on the
card? 81"
A box of flowers or a basket OF
well-chosen fruits would be the
only correct thing for you to send
to this doctor who is in the hos
pital. With this hospital gift you
would send either your visiting
card with a message written on it
or plain white card with the
message written on it, or a note OF
good wishes for a speedy recovery.
Don't enclose any kind of ready
made card, printed card. On
your card you might write, with
friendliest greetings from the
Jameson family, and the sincerest
hopes for your speedy recovery"
The Washington times., 1936-06-13

rs years Of age, and I want to
get away from this city, from all
our old friends, and from everyone
who expected our marriage to be
announced almost any day. 1
have tiny income left me by my
grandmother. 1t amounts to a
little less than $40 a month.
What would you suggest / do
with the unhappy remnant of my
life?
MARIANNE"
In the first place, my dear
Marianne, I'd be devoutly thank
full that I had discovered at last
the real reason for this mans
wasting your time. 1t might have
gone on for 10 years, or even
longer. Then I'd be devoutly
thankful, the second time, that 1
had enough income to go some
where else till the wound is
healed.
A smart girl can get a good deal
out of life on what you have in
herited. If you have a little nest
egg saved, travel with it. If you
haven't, write to the Y. W. or
some girls club in another city
and tell them you'd like to go
there for while.
Take a job-any kind of de-
cent job-for a few weeks, and
then move on somewhere else. Re
gard all this as so much expert
ence. You will be lonesome at
first, and very unhappy. But if
you have plenty of courage, it
won't be all loneliness and misery.
And please, no matter how low
your spirits get, don't write to
that man who treated you so dis.
honorably. Best of luck.

A BEACH vest may seem a
"A strange idea, until you find
out what it's all about. It is of
terry cloth, goes on over your
wet bathing suit, and serves to
soak up the unpleasant drops
that run around your neck and
arms, if you want to read, play
cards, or enter into any other
fairly dry pursuit after your
swim. There are pockets, oil silk
lined, which will keep your Gig
arets or makeup dry and safe,
as they are closed by zippers.
Then there's a belt that holds it
In place. It's quite smart look
ing, with its lapes, and if your
suit is fairly nude, it will dress
you up enough, without making
you hot and stuffy, as real clothes
would do. Beach vests are $1.95,
and come in white or pastelS.

Another Opportunity

A MOTHER special for next
"A week only, another reason why
1t is opportunity WEEKS that
a fine Rose Cream Mask is to be
offered at an amazingly low price.
The So jar will be 81 for the week.
This mask, again made by fine,
nationally known maker, is a
quick pickup, for tired faces and
tired nerves. It is to be applied
two or three times week, and is
for those of us who haven't the
time and the money to go and
have facialS when we need them
90. as most of us always do. First
you cleanse your face, then use
your toning lotion. Then put on
q thin layer of the mask, patting
it in to raise the contours of the
skin. Leave it on for Is or }
minutes, and take it off with cold
water. You will find that it has
taken away the fatigue and age
lines in your face magically. It
Is said to be as beneficial to your
looks as five years of sleep. You
can use it at any time, and if
you use it before going out, put on
your makeup after removing the
mask. If you use it at night, then
put on your night cream and re-
tire. The cream will be twice as
beneficial to a refreshed COM
plexion. Along with this grand
offer, for one week only, starting
next Monday, there will be a spe-
cial expert on beauty problems in
town, who will gladly help you
with your own personal needs.

"Dear Donna Grace: I am fol-
lowing a reducing diet, and won
dered if fish would hurt for a few
times a week. What food will re-
duce? "YETTA."
Dear Yetta: Fish is a protein
and has about the same food
value as lean meat. Salmon and
herring are fat fish, and a pound
of either is equal to a pound Of
round steak. 1t is a good food
for those on reducing diets, and
will not add to the weight, if only
the average portion is eaten and
not combined with starches and
fats. The roe Of fish, however,
is rich in nutritious value. There
are no reducing foods, but one
may lose weight by reducing the
food quantity and also by avoid
ing sweets, fats and starcheS.
Agatha: The sleek hairdress Is
nice for certain types, but do
not be tempted to cut off your
nice hair that you say is so ad-
mired just to follow a fad. AS
a matter of fact, the boyish bob
is no longer fashionable. Let
your hair be flattering frame
to your features.

The Point, down near the
mouth of the Potomac, is of his
toric interest. The flat sandy
beach is the southern end of that
country that at one time was
included in Evelynton Manor
granted to Capt. George Evelyn in
1887.
Nearby is the old settlement Of
Popular Hill Hundred which Is
one of the earliest settlements in
the State. Here is the second
oldest Protestant church, which
was first built in 1912 and again
in 1850.
The Route
The view on the Point is out
across the wide Potomac. A light
house here above the wind
chopped water is the signal for
ships that stop for a special pilot
to assist them in threading their
way up the tricky channel.
The route to the Point, from
Washington, is over State Route
No. S. The distance is about 65
miles. At Clifton Mills, a few
miles beyond Leonardtown, the
turn is to the right over the west
ern branch of the State road.
This leads out to the Point.
Since there are no facilities for
outdoor cooking, let's make the
picnic preparation easy. Take
along sliced bread in its waxed
paper container and an asSort-
ment of cold cuts. There thick

The preparation for the potato
salad can be completed the day
before the picnic. Potatoes can

pecan meats chopped. Blending
the ingredients takes only a
short time.

The transformations, French
wigs and numerous curled bands
have always been used by the
screen beauties whenever a real
change in hair styles is needed,
and many of the society women
have their sets of smart wigs and
extra hair pieces to wear when
their own hair is being recondi-
toned.
Hair that has been dyed by a
mixture of metallic salts and
other chemicals may need to be
cut off to avoid the ordeal Of
waiting to recondition it by the
slow method of oil treatments.
There are a number of oppor-
tunities for using the beautiful
hair pieces, but the younger set
wear them in addition to their
own hair just for a change in
hair styling.
The braid around the head in
coronet fashion adds a regal, tor-
NAL note to ones style, but the
same braid when worn tlat
around the head may be used for
any daytime or even sports occa-
sion.
Braids are always correct, but
there is a newer style now that
is in high favor. 1t is the two
strand roll switch. This switch
is long enough to reach the head
and end in soft curls on the sides
It may be used in several different
ways-one attractive style is the
twisted, bun effect, worn low at
the back. This is a good way TO
cover up harsh, split ends OF ones
own hair.

tionS let me suggest that when

New NegH9ees

NegligeeS good for all year and
especially charming for summer
are made of blush satin, with deep
insets of ivory Alencon lace. The
body of these negligees is cut on
the bias, so that it drapes around
the figure attractively. A rolled
hem finishes the edge. The sash
ends have lace trimming.
Another type of negligee has two
bias ruffles for a shawl collar and
three bias sleeve ruffleS arranged
in tiers, all edged with Val lace.
Very practical for summer, espe-
cially when the fabric Is dotted
swiss or washable silk.

FIaring 'Tunic

a slim foundation of chiffon in
