MODERN ETIQUETTE By Roberta Lee

 Q. Why is it customary to send out formal invitations so far in advance?
 A. This is done to enable the hos tess to invite other guests to take the places of those who cannot ac- cept the invitat tion.
 Q. Does it make any difference who speaks first when a married woman and single woman meet on the street?
 A. If the acquaintance is slight, according to strict etiquette the mar ried woman should speak first; but among friends this rule is disre- garded

Few Timely
Treatments
For Elbows
Pu mic e Stone and
Lemon Juice
Effective.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

JUDGING by the fashion magazines,
the Paris openings were "up to
their elbows" in short sleeves. Abridged
editions Of sleeves, mind you, for Fall
and Winter wear. Personally I can't
work up very much enthusiasm over
the idea Of short sleeves on a cool day,
except for special informal occasions.
For formal occasions. of course, sleeves
are out entirely, but what woman
wouldn't endure little chill to dress
up" The mere thought of dressing Up
for special evening functions seems
stimulating enough to most women to
send their temperature up a few de-
grees-to warm the heart, anyway.
Whether or not you accept the Short
sleeve fashion trend, it's safe to keep
your elbows soft enough, smooth
enough, and altogether good looking
enough so that a last-minute call to a
special date doesn't catch your elbows
mapping under their long-sleeved
coverings.
The first step in the elbow treatment
is friction. Cleanse thoroughly with a
good soap and warm water also a fairly
stiff -bristled body or hand brush This
will help remove some of the horny
outer layer of dead cells. Next. mix
enough powdered punice with lemcn
juice to form smooth paste. Apply
to the elbows. Friction again. This
will also help to remove some Of the
deadened cuticle. With it will come
much of the dark discolored appear
ance. Now-more lemon juice, patted
on and allowed to dry on the skin.
This will help to whiten the skin.
All the steps of this treatment, how
ever dry the skin. So. to counteract
that, once the bleaching process is
finished, good cream should be ap.
piled massaged thoroughly.
So important is the cream or oil
treatment to softness of elbows that
many screen stars soak their elbows in
warm olive oil several times a week
Two fingerbowls are used. The elbows
rest in the oil. Meanwhile fingers can
busily massage the scalp. Or, you can
apply cotton pads soaked in the olive
oil to the elbows tying in place with
strip of flannel. Twice a week for the
next few weeks and then you'll be
able to turn a smiling, be-dimpled,
smooth elbow to a watching world
when you don your short -sleeved or
sleeveless gown.

W. apparently 1t never enters
their permanently waved heads that
they understand their husbands just

Growth and.
Development.
Encourage Child S
Personal Power at
Early Age.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

IF A parent could, like a magic
godparent, give his child one mas
ter gift he would choose personal
power. Granted that there would be
no good thing withheld from him, the
world would be his for the taking.
But personal power Is not gift
that can be bestowed at pleasure. 1t
must be generated within the per-
sonality of the child. He must create
every bit of 1t by using his energies.
Every time he acts under his own
power, every time he carries task
through to its end, he generates and
stores power. The variety Of such ex-
periences is unlimited. They abound
in every contact he makes with life
and nature. Every time he thinks,
acts. feels, decides for himself he gen.
crates power. Usually we say he Is
growing.
Growth means change. 1t must
come through activity. Children are
active instinctively. They tend to gen.
crate personal power from the hour
they are born. Their activities, being
without experience or understanding,
annoy us. frighten us. make us most
uncomfortable at times, and our ten
dency is to put governor upon them
and hold them down. Stop that"
Here, leave that to me. I'll attend
to it." mo, you can do no such
thing. I'm not going to have that
noise and confusion about the house"
Many times we are justified in our
attitude. 1t would be possible for an
active child to ruin the house and
home of family unless he was re-
stricted and guided. The guidance is
the important point. Whenever one
sees the need of restricting child's
personal activity one should imme-
diately see along with 1t way to re-
direct it along safer, more constructive
ways. That nourishes the power the
child is generating, and saves waste
OF all sorts.
If we begin this process early
enough the child will have formed bet
ter habits of play and work. He will
always need guidance and help, but
there will be no basic errors to correct
and that is a wonderfully comforting
assurance to have
With growth and development come
q desire for adventure. longing to
see what will happen. to discover
hidden things that may prove thrill
ing in their effects and possibilities.
Parents scent danger in these adven-
lures and rise to check them. Fear
is a poor guide for children if 1t is
allowed to get the master hand. 1t
is good to be cautious and to protect
the children from real dangers, but
the time comes when parent has to
take the risk.
Life is not safe and secure. Ones
own experience teaches that it Is quite
the opposite, but somehow there is
always the hope that things will be
different for the children. They will
be no different. They will offer risks
of all sorts. Guide the activities of
children in the early years and they
will be able to take the risks of their
growing time in better form. Their
personal power is fundamental to their
success.

The Old Gardener SAYS:

Every well ordered garden
should have its quota of baskets,
among them a good, strong, two
bushel basket. Such a basket can
be used for many different pur-
poses. If it is not in use the
night of the first freeze, utilize 1t
as a cover for some plant that
you are particularly fond Of. If
you happen to be raking leaves, a
two-bushel basket will hold
tremendous quantity. II they are
packed in tightly, and the bas-
ket makes it easy to take those
leaves from the point where they
are collected to the compost pile.
Such a basket is also very useful
in making up potting soil, as well
as late in the Fall when the gar
dener cuts down the stalks of
perennials and wants to take
them with a lot of other waste
matter to the brush pile for
burning. Every one should have
three or four small size baskets.
They are essential for picking
and storing vegetables and fruit
In. A -bushel basket is an
admirable size for picking pears
and apples. A market basket or
flower picking basket will be
found valuable for harvesting
grapes and peaches.
