A generous-Sized purse is one Of
the best gifts to one who Is to
travel. It should have many well
planned compartments, to hold
the various items that one has to
carry. a compartment for the
passport, one for the travellers
checks, one for bills, one for
change, and so forth.
This season purses are so ample
in size and compartments that
you will find this choice easy. And
the leather should be durable. =.
not suede or q delicate leather,
but something as strong as alliga-
tor, for instance. And have the
purse initiated, not only for beauty
but for Identification. It is wise
to give such q gift well in ad-
vance Of sailing time, so that
other plans for buying this purse
may be discarded.
A small compact writing case
Is an excellent gift, too, for this
can be used while on Shipboard or
while travelling on land. It may
be equipped with small letter
paper, such as seminole size, and
with postcards.

Beauty
Lovely Hands
and Arms
BY DONNA GRACE

Lovely hands are not Just mat
ter Of chance, but rather they are
the result of careful treatment
and patient training. But the re-
suit Of this expert attention Is well
worth all the time expended, for
the hands always characterize the
woman, and give her the grace Of
expression, if properly understood.
OF course, the arms, so closely
allied to the hands in their ex-
preston, and beauty, cannot be
neglected in this beauty regime,
for one compliments the other. In
both exercise and treatment.
You must give your arm muscles
some exercise every day to get
them rounded and firm. The ones
in my reducing course are very
good. The next important thing
is good application of soap and
water. Have . thick, creamy
lather and use q brush or a fine
pumice stone around the elbows.
Take from 3 to 5 minutes for this
operation, then rinse with cold
water until there is no trace Of
soap left.
Your next step is to rub the arms
well with a very generous amount
Of an oily cleansing cream or cocoa
nut oil. Take from 3 to 4 minutes
for this; then remove the cream
carefully and apply the following
pack:
2 tablespoonful of Fuller's earth.
2 tablespoonful Of almond meal.
2 tablespoonfuls of peroxide.
Add enough witch hazel to make
a creamy paste, spread In a thick
layer over the arms and hands and
leave it on for from 10 to IS min
uteS. You can double the amounts
Of your mixture if you need more
Of it.
Remove the paste with cool
water. Pat dry, then sponge with
witch hazel; dry again and then
massage well with a good tissue
cream. Put about a half teaspoon
full Of cream in the palm Of your
hand and rub around the elbows
with a firm circular motion. then
up on the shoulder and around in
a circular motion. Then on the
forearm and hands. one finger at
time.
After a thorough massage, wipe
off the cream and sponge with an
aStringent Of toilet water, and you
are ready for your makeup.
The powder base can be either
q liquor or q creamy one; both
serve the same purpose, but they
must be put on carefully without
Streaking. There Is a little sponge
to apply it. Then it should pe
blended with the finger tips and
allowed to dry before the powder
Is applied.
Do not wash the hands often,
but have bottle Of hand lotion
and cream where you can use 1t
whenever the hands are Soiled.
There are bleaches to apply also,
whenever you cleanse your hands.
The use of almond or oatmeal
bags is much more soothing to use
than soap. You can buy the bags
ready prepared, but if you wish to
make them at home I will send
you the formula. They are lovely
to have on hand, especially during
the cold weather.
If you wish to have my Hand
Treatment, will be glad to send
it to you. Send . stamped, self
addressed envelope for your reply
and address Donna Grace, Beauty

CALLING CARDS
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
will you please tell me the

"Should they all be given to the
maid answering the door, or left
when one il leaving?
'When there is NO one at home,
should the husbands and wife'S
cards both be left?
CONSTANT READER"
Since it is usually impossible for
a man to make calls during the
daytime, his wife leaves his cards
with her own when she pays these
social calls.
A married woman leaves one
card Of her own for each lady
in the household and one of her
husbands cards for each lady
and gentleman. But not more
than three cards Of any one kind
are left. Nowadays, as a matter
Of fact, If there are several grown
sons and daughters in the house
hold, q woman may simply leave
her card for the ladies and two
Of her husbands, one for the
ladies and one for the host.
If there is a maid to answer
the bell, the cards are left on
q halltable when we leave.

Since you have decided to give
money as your godfatherly gift,
why not give it in the form Of
starting a bank account, say in q
savings bank, in the name Of your
godchild? I think that this is an
excellent plan, especially for q
godfather, for it is obviously easy
and wise, promotes thrift" and
solves all future gifts, for then

birthday gifts, foc graduation gifts

ditional deposits to the bank &C

RETAILERS CREDIT
LIBERALIZING HIT
Convention of Managers Hears
Grosner Warn of Breakdown
of System.

Opposition to liberalization of credit
terms in retail business was voiced this
morning by Gerald D. Grosner, pro-
prietor of a mems wear shop at 1925
r street and past president OF the
National Association of Retail Clothiers
and Furnishers.
Addressing credit managers assem-
bled at the Mayflower Hotel for the
District convention of the National
Retail Credit Association, Grosner pre-
dicted a gradual breakdown to the
entire credit system will result If the
"ten payment plan" and the third a
month plan" of credit liberalization
are not checked. He called both credit
schemes "inf1ationary" and said their
continued use would inevitably in
crease costs of doing business.
The ten payment plan and the third
q month plan are not extensions OF
what is considered to be the normal
type of 3O-day charge accounts" Gros-
rer said, but as soon as the time for
payment is extended so that the first
third is not due until 80 days from
the time of purchase, liberalization
begins"
Liberalization, he added, would seri-
ously impair even the 30-day charge
account system.

Five colored men started a fight
Saturday beneath Chappelle's window

suggested they patch things up. but
one grabbed him, he said, while an
other bit his hand and kicked him

Central Union Backs Medi.
cal Society for Seeking
Increase.

The campaign of the District of Co
lumbia Medical Society to increase
the health budget for the city was
unanimously supported last night by
the Central Labor Union at regular
meeting in Typographical Temple.
Adopting resolution presented by
Henry Rhine of N. r. A. Lodge, Ameri-
can Federation of Government En-
ployes, the central body went on rec
ord as declaring that funds for
proper health care in the District OF
Columbia are woefully inadequate,
thereby endangering the lives of the

The resolution placed the central
body on record as endorsing and ap-
proving the campaign of the medical
society, and other local bodies for
adequate and necessary funds for
proper health care" 1t protested the
contemplated cut in appropriations
for this purpose.
Support Judge Schuldt.
A resolution recommending the re-
appointment of Judge Gus A. Schuldt
of the Police Court was adopted.
Favoring generally pending legisla-
ton for the juvenile court, the central
body referred the measure back to its
Legislative Committee for a proposed
amendment which would provide more
adequate protection to parents against
the possibility of children being taker
away from them.
The pending anti-lynch bill was ap-
proved.
The pending measure for a Con-
gressional investigation of the silicosi;
situation in West Virginia was referred
to the Legislative Committee for sup
porting action.
Frank ]. Coleman, secretary, re-
ported on the status of the fedora
leave bill, and the 40-hour week bill

mittees for the ensuing year.

"Uncle Lee didn't write that" Anne
murmured, "it isn't like him. He'd
ramble, and explain his explanations.
That sounds like Rob-"
Well, she sighed. 1t was useless to
hope from correction in that quarter.
She walked out into the other room.
There was some one at the door. Lisa
opened it and Molly Neuman entered,
red hair cleaning, blue eyes dancing.
"Nikki, they've had a radiogram
at the Union. The Star of Lapland
sails in the morning for home"
THAT means Johns coming"
"Yeh," commented Lisa dourly,
"but do you know how long before
he'll get here in that old sailing
ship?"
Anne listened to Liisa's dire pre-
dictions of storms to be encountered,
calms that would keep the ship drift
ing, fogs that would bind their speed,
but she laughed. John was coming,
that was all she needed to know. No
doubt in her mind nor her heart
what that meant. What If 1t would
take two weeks, a fortnight. When
he did arrive, she'd be ready with
her answer.
Let Tom Farley find her.
He did. Tecla was right. Jim Far
ley, his youngest brother, called at
the Sorki home next morning, and
! finding no one home, climbed the
steps to Nikki's house. But Nikki
wasn't home to him. From q
vantage point behind the breakfast
room curtains, she watched him
ascend, listened to his futile knocking
at the door, heard him tip-toeing
across the porch to look into the living
room window.
He went next to the Hannula home
to be met at the door by woman
who smiled and replied to every queS-
ton with, "I don't know"
Every door that opened to him
gave the same answer, for word hac

sealed the lips of the Finnish people
