We agreed on that, as the water

after the toaSter was brushed and
the inside Of the percolator
washed with mild soda and water,
they were ready to be put back
on the shelf. Just as I handed
back the last piece, the stool
slipped and Mary Smothered a

rescue. When she saw no harm
had been done, she said:

So, taken by and large, office
marriages are more likely to be
successful than those made while

more casual places where young
people become acquainted.
In spite of my opinion and the
fact that this young man seems
as "willin' as Barkus," Pauline
doesn't seem to me to hold out

Yesterday promised to tell you
about the purchases and cleaning
that Mary and Jane were going to
do. Being rather improvident,
they try during the first few days
after pay day to buy needed sup.
plies like flour, sugar, coffee, tea
and spices, that keep indefinitely.
Otherwise, they find it financially
embarrassing to make such pur'

cleaning the apartment and

RETURNING GIFTS

Scnear Mrs. Beeckman:
Elm your column recently you
explained that in q case OF
S'brOken engagements" expensive
gifts, such as hope chest or en-
gagement ring should by all
means be returned.
81 am somewhat puzzled about
my case. am not engaged but

man for about four years, al
though not steadily. 1t just hap
pened that about a month before
Christmas started seeing him
again. 1 received beautiful gift
from him for Christmas, and in
return / gave him quite an ex-
pensive gift.
''UnfOrtunateIy, we broke off a
few days before the New Year. j

gifts of this sort, and / would ap.
preciate it very much If you will

and that a gift given as a "pres'

birthday should not be returned
although 1 would much rather dc
so. 1 have not seen him since
and my gift has not been re
turned. "READEK."
There isn't any rule about the
returning of such gifts. The rule
that applies to this is the rule
that warns the girl not to accept
expensive gifts from a man unless
she is engaged to him. In other
words, the wise rule prevents" not
"cures." This rule was suggested
you see, to prevent just such re
gret as you now have. When we
have gone counter to this rule
then all we can do is to use oul
good judgment and choice.

young lady in his office.
But the young man who writes
me about the dangers OF propln-
uuity is not middle-aged, nor yet
boss of the office where he Is, I
imagine, a highly capable assist
ant.
In an amusing letter, he tells
me that he was not so much girl
shy as he was girl-oppoSed-that
I girls as such had no place in his
life. This young man courted
only SUCCESS. The capitals are
his, and he took for his motto
Kipling'S verse:
'cDOwn to Gehenna, or up to the
throne,
'sHe travels the fastest who
travels alone"
He admits that the loneliness
Of his solitary progress made it
Gehenna, all right, much Of the
time. But with a will to succeed
as the motive of his life, he stuck
1t out until he met Pauline.
Is Intrigued
There were certain substantial
qualities to Pauline which seemed
to go with her name. She was
confidential secretary in the office
where this young man was en-
ployed, but she never took dicta-
ton from anyone but the senior
partners-old gentlemen with gilt
tering names in the profession Of
the law.
Pauline had q barricaded way
about her, which took this ambi-
tiouS young man nightly. She
seemed as bent on following her
own line as did he. Never a word
beyond a good morning" or
something that related to work.
Once or twice he attempted
something conversational, only to
receive a wide-open glance from
Pauline'S eyes and a reply Shrunk
to a monoSyllable. Distinctly, she
was not the chatty office type.
She never confided her personal
affairs.
Another thing about this girl,
which appealed to him strongly
was the exquisite freshness Of her
appearance. Her blouseS were i'm
maculate, her tailored skirt well
pressed, her little brown shoes
shining with polish and the sheen
on her well-brushed hair like that
on a birds wing. And the way
she minded her own business
that got him.
Reactions
At first he thought it was all
bluff, but it wasn't. Pauline was
made that way.
Thus he writes me that:
"PrOpinquity or nearneSS is the
crasher of plans and a destroyer
Of air castles" and what is my
opinion of "Office-made MARI
ageS?"
Pauline has not given him the
faintest intimation that she would
consider a proposal, or even Q
casual friendship.
But, at least, I can answer his

Says: Being On the Spot Is Girls Best Love Asset
Beauty
Red Hair Now
The Vogue
BY DONNA GRACE

The accepted vogue Of red hair
is making noticeable change in
many of our young lovelieS. They
are all anxious to try this inter-
esting color, and it is quite flat
tering to those who have light or
clear skin.
We must remind you now to
change your makeup so that it
will harmonic with your hair.
Red hair will call for a rouge and
hpstick that have some Of the
naSturtium or geranium tones
rather than the poppy or blue
reds.
Warm tones Of powder are
necessary for a nice effect. There
is really a tendency just now to
use a darker powder for all make
up.
The eye makeup is dark for the
lashes and brown or a very faint
black lining for the brows. This
is for daytime. but for evening the
red-head may indulge in the
glamorouS effects such aS-green.
gold, silver and blue for the
shadow and lashes. The mauve
and violet shades are not flatter-
ing for the redhead.
When the skin is a blue white,
do not use brown mascara; even
If the hair is red or blond, it will
look more artificial than a black.
The black, however, must be
done so delicately that it is more
gray than black. A crayon is nice
for producing this light stroke.
Girls whose skin is naturally
dark will not find the red hair
so flattering as their own color,
so keep your natural tones if you
are this dark type.
Dear Donna Grace: How can
you relax when your dancing is
stiff? I picked my finger nails and
tried almost everything to stop it.
Have you any suggestions?
MARY"
Dear Miss Mary: You will learn
to relax when dancing only when
you can control your muscles. My
Norr1alizing Exercises will give
you this control. You must prac-
tice Self-control so as to keep from
picking your nails. Frequent mani
cures and my hand treatment will
correct this bad habit.
Dear Donna Grace: I wish you
would tell me really If glycerine
can be used instead Of rouge. My
aunt and my grandmother rub it
on their cheeks and it does make
them red. SELMA"
Dear Selma: Glycerine when
used in this way acts as an ir-
ritant to the skin. Mustard
would have the same effect, but
why should we continue to use
primitive methods when we have
nice rouges that can be applied
just as they should be. An irri-
tated skin will be red, Of course.
but it is not attractive, so do not
use glycerine for rouge.

clothes are first in fashion promi-
nence, they have not the whole
field to themselves. Soft, untai-
lored and fur-trimmed, costume
suits are Just as smart, and for
many of us, are far lovelier. It's
nice to know that both are good,
for after all, a mannish suit with
shirt and tie isn't suitable for all
times Of day, and even the most
tailored of us can find room for
both types in our wardrobes.
Color Contrast
Costume suits are really lovely
this year, and the new styles seem
particularly good for them. Color
and combinations Of color, for in
stance, are excellent for the cos
tune suit. A dress with contrast
ing top or blouse, and a cape or
jacket over that, makes good
suit for wear any time Of day If
it is not too formal, and such treat
mentS lend themselves admirably
to afternoon clothes.
Some Of the incest costume suits
have q collar or other trimming Of
fur. Lovely soft fox, beautifully
dyed to harmonic with the color
of the cloth, is often used. Furs
are always individual in their use,
and add femininity and formality
to the suit. They should never
look Just added" but should be
a component part Of the design of
the costume.
Print for Contrast
Plain color sheer woods, navy,
beige, gray and black, are ia
vorites for these suits, and they
often take prints for their con
trast. A gay and colorful printed
blouse, or merely q scarf or tie
will add charm and dash to the
costume.
Some suits have jackets, some
capes, some boleroS. A few even
have three-quarter boxy coats
and those are quite practical fol
early spring wear. Most Of them
are rather light weight, and Sug
gest the convenience Of buying
them now, wearing them under
your fur or cloth coat, and later
wearing them with their OWL
capes Of jackets.
Excellent Dresses
Most of these costumes are
sold in the dress departments OF
stores, which means much tc
the person who knows. It means
that they have been made by
good dress manufacturers, who
might have sent the coat out tx

MOVE CLERK WORK

gional officials announced here today
The transfers include the State loan
and State farm plan examining offic-
es.
"The work of these offices, largely
clerical, will become a function of the
regional office instead of the several
State offices, thus relieving State di-
rectors of clerical detail, leaving them
free to spend their time in the sup
ervision and guidance of the Rehabi-
lation program in their respective
states" Regional Director George S.
Mitchell said. To avoid duplication

Easy Money" Is
Fast MelOdrama
Showing at Vance

An interesting and melodramatic
film Easy Money" is now on view at
the Vance Theatre. This new picture
offers every element of entertain
ment, and it maintains a rapid pace
from start to finish. Easy Money"
can best be described as an exposure
of one of the worst racket nuisances
in the world, the fake accident racket
it tells the story of gang of these
bogus accident victims who cleverly
plan and carefully execute all types
of seemingly unavoidable accidents.
Then, the victims" sue for fabulous
sums of money and, more often than
not, collect on their fraudulent claims.
Onslow Stevens, as Dan Adams,
plays the leading role in Easy Money
and it is his self-appointed job to go
after and clean up these public nuis-
ances. He is aided in his work by
screen newcomer and a lovely and
talented one too, Kay Linaker. The
cast has been we'll chosen and Noel
Madison as Duke" Trotti once again
gives one of his unexcelled gangster
roles. Allen Vincent, Barbara Ba-
rondess, Wallis Clark, and Selmer
Jackson, all turn in meritorious work.
