We know of several whose
mouths are too large to conform
to the usual beauty standards, and
vet they appear far more attrac-
tive than some whose features are
almost perfect.
1t is easy enough to change the
shape of the mouth by makeup
for the stage, but for the screen,
the powerful lights do not permit
such little deceptions.
The features are portrayed just
about as they are. so there is
nothing to do but make every
feature attractive. The mouth
needs molding, and I will give You
some of the exercises. They are
very simple:
First cleanse the face we'll with
any cleansing cream and remove
with a tissue, then apply a face
towel or a yard of gauze Wrung
out of a hot boric acid solution.
Leave it on for five minutes, re-
move and cover the face with tis-
sue cream, especially the lips.
DO EXERCISES DAILY
Puff out the face as full as you
possibly can hold it about five
seconds. Twist the mouth just as
far to the right and left alter
nately as you can: open and close
it at the same time, open the
mouth stretched as in yaWning
just as wide as the muscles will
permit; then place the lips to
form the letter "o," then the word
leach"
Do these exercises 10 or IL
times each, daily. They are set
that was used by one Of the best
contour specialists and are used by
some of the rejuvenating- without
Surgery-methodS. After you have
finished the exercises, rub the
mouth we'll with a tissue cream or
cocoa butter.

What to Take
on Trip

There's nothing worse than
not taking enough clothes when
you travel-unleSs it is taking
too many. We know a man who
discovered, on arriving for =
week at a summer lakeside cot
tage, that he had packed seven
pairs of trousers. He actually
needed and used two. But he
could have used a half dozen
more shirts.
The best way, if you are not
sure just what you will need, is
to take foundation" clothes,
around which you can build sew
eral changes and variations.
Take plenty of linen, such as
shirts, underclothing, handker-
chiefs, socks, etc. Resist the i'm
pulse to take along third pair
of shoes-unless you are sure
you are going to hike in the
woods or dance formally.
If you are a guest on a motor
trip, be especially careful that
you do not take more luggage
than the rest of the party. This
crowds the car and makes ev-
eryone uncomfortable Best rule
to remember is. you can wear
only one ensemble at a time. Fig
ure your wardrobe on this basis,
times the number of events in
the number of days you will be
aWaY.

This was done to eliminate
those four or five helpingS of dl-
Vorce which were not uncommon
in one-time "holy Russia"
Comrade Stain and the other
comrades who had been winking
at these matrimonial high jinkS
clamped down on Comrade Cupid
and told him he'd have to grow
up and be a better boy.
It seems that the comrades had
made a discovery which the cave

FARM WOMAN ADAGE
After all, the adage of the farm

destined for the soup pot.

lens of domesticity, a number OF
letters have been written to this
column. CuriouSly enough, the
bulk of them are from men. One
of them, on the subject of divorce
opens up highly interesting queS-
ton.
referring to your article on
more rigid divorce laws in Rus
sia, and the fact that COmrade
Cupid isn't on the loose to the
extent he had been during their
various five.year experiments, let
me suggest a marriage plan that
I've long had in mind.
WOULD OUTLAW DIVORCE
"Why not stabilize marriage
in this country by Outlawing
divorce from two, three, or five
years after the ceremony, accord
ing to the ages of the contract
ing parties?
'Tf youngsters of II, 18 or 19
were made to understand when
they signed the marriage regis
ter, often after a whoOpee party,
that they couldn't get out of it
for five years there would be less
running home to mamma and
fewer neglected babies.
colder, and presumably wiser
people, would be permitted to
pledge themselves not to seek a
divorce for two or three years.
Such contracts would give huS-
bands and wives sufficient time
to come out of their moonlight
sentimentality and actually dis
cover if they are suited to each
other or not.
But with cash and carry
divorce chain committees cutting
each others throatS to get the
trade, is it any wonder that in
this country one marriage in six
goes on the rocks?
MARRIED AND HAPPY"
The Washington times., 1936-08-07

men who know how to make love
charmingly never seem to have any
money, and those who have money
never know how to make love.
They're as dry as an uncOOked ce'
real, and usually pause between
kisses to tell a girl how much they
made last year or expect to make
next year.
81 came pretty close to marry
ing one of these charming love-
makers, but 1 know I'd have to
support him for life, give him his
carfare and buy him his hats,
which is even less attractive than
having a man attempt to make
love and talk about money in the
same breath.
"Undecided."
At 26 years of age you should be-
able to make up your mind as to
the specifications you require in a
husband, and to recognize some OF
the symptoms which will enable
you to differentiate between a
fireSide companion and a philan-
derer. Or between a gentlemanly
clinging vine, who must be sup
piled with pocket money, and a
go-getter.
And my advice to you IS not to
compromise. Better remain an old
maid than marry someone you con-
stantly have to make up excuses
to yourself for marrying. Prob
ably you've never been really in
love, but even at 26 there is time
to wait for the right one to come
along.

brides mother, the hostess, and at
her right the officiating priest. At
the brides mothers left, the
groom'S father. Between these
two groups, the brides father, with
the groom's mother at his right.
Usually the bride wears her en-
gagement ring on her right hand
during the ceremony, and after
the wedding ring has been put
on she slips her engagement ring
over the wedding ring. or this
MY be done later.
The brides mother is the one
to be seated last, that is, just
before the bridal party is ready
to come up the aisle. She is
usually escorted to her place by
the head usher. If there are to
be no usherS, she would walk to
her place with a son or other
male relative Of the bride.
The right side of the aisle is
the "groom'S Side," since the par
ents of the groom are the guests
of honor. The left side of the
aisle is the brides side" since
the parents of the bride are the
hosts. The mother of the bride
sits in the first pew at the left,
and after the brides father has
presented the bride in marriage,
he joins his wife in this pew.
Also in this pew may sit the

pew at the right of the aisle,
with the other members of the

Smart Handbag

It is difficult nowadays to find
any item of practical use that
isn't smart as we'll. Remember
the old-style utility bags for travel
purposes, rubber lined to hold
toilet articles? Well, the new YER
sion is as smart as the smartest
handbag. The idea is for the new
bags to come in couples. Such q
pair is done in wine-colored faille
silk, piped and monogrammed in
pink and lined with pink rubber.

New Fall Colors

A s WE'VE mentioned be-
IA fore, color and color har-
mony are of utmost Importance
In the autumn fashion picture.
You may wear black and other
"neutrals" this year, but you
will accent them with color.
And the accent colors are diff.
ferent, much more subtle and
subdued, more restrained, we
might say. Here is the present
lineup, as sponsored by several
good authorities and as shown
by some of the local stores.
Accent your black with red,
with green, with smoky gray
or aubergine. Aubergine is an
eggplant tone, slightly lighter
than eggplant. With brown
wear green, smoky gray, or
cinnamon. With navy wear
gray, marine blue, aubergine or
red. With gray gain your con-
trast with marine blue, auber-
gine, cinnamon or red. A new
red is called Hialeah, and is a
good race-track color. A new
green is called Araby, and is
bright but not loud" All of
these are already available in
smart accessories for your
black which you are wearing
now, and for first autumn
clothes.

They are inviting their parish

Also where would the others be

Does the bride wear her en-

until the wedding ring is placed
on her finger? And does she
change it to the left hand herself,
or does the groom do this?

How are the parents and

Yes, a white satin wedding
gown is appropriate for a bride
to wear at a formal wedding at
any time of the year.
SLEEVES VS.. GLOVES
If the bride does not wish to
wear a veil or a hat, she might
like to wear a Juliet cap (very
lovely on most bridesD, of pearls
or of orange blossoms. Or the
dreSsmaker who makes the we'd
ding dress, or the shop in which
it is bought, will be able to
sketch a charming and appropri-
ate cap or turban that will be OF
type appropriate to the type OF
wedding dress.
The bridesmaids wear dresses
of any lightweight material that
is appropriate to the season, ana
in any shade that harmonizes
with the color scheme chosen by
the bride.
When the wedding dress has
long sleeves the bride usually does
not wear gloves. But she may. if
she wishes, wear short white kid
or soft suede gloves.
Eleven o'clock in the morning
is a perfect time for an informal
breakfast after a wedding. I'd
suggest, for your twenty guests,
a usual breakfast menu, and it
could be served buffet fashion,
if there isn't room for the guests
to be seated at table. First there
might be passed a pitcher of
orange juice, or small glasses of
orange juice. or half canteloupeS
might be served. The main course
might be scrambled eggs. with
thin slices of bacon; heated rolls:
hot coffee. This is an appropriate
menu, inexpensive. and wouldn't
mean much service.

TO COUNTY WEALTH
&,160,000 Increase in Prince
Georges Predicted by R. A.
Officials.

GREENBELT, Nd, June 11-Net
increase of more than $4,160,000 in
Prince Georges County tax valuations
on completion of the Resettlement
Administrations low-rent housing
project here was forecast today by
r. A. officials following a study of
taxation problems
When the community is completed,
1t will be turned over to a private
corporation, officials said, and will be
subject to all regular taxes. Valua-
ton of the finished project was set at
S4,500,000, while the assessed valu-
alton of the property before purchase
by the Federal Government last year
was $337,000.
According to their estimates, au-
thorities declared, the community
should yield more than $4,000 an
nually in taxes, a sum fully sufficient
to cover all costs for schools and other
county services which the new COM
munity will require"
Greenbelt Improvements have been
reflected in growing value of adjoin-
ing tracts, some of which have doubled
in price, they said. The 4,000-perSon
increase in county population when
the new community is settled, the Of
f1cials declared, will reduce the per
capita tax burden of the county from
about S35 to s33.

REGIONAL PACTS
URGED FOR PEACE
Neville Chamberlain Hints at
New Era in World
Diplomacy.
Nv the Associated Press.

LONDON, June 1l.-Hinting OF
new era in world diplomacy as Great
Britain sought way out of the 1tal-
ian impasse, Neville Chamberlain,
chancellor of the exchequer, last night
urged a system of regional pacts in
world danger zones, and the lifting
Of sanctions from Italy.
Addressing the 1900 club, he said
the regional pacts, to be localized in
the worlds trouble spots, would be a
practical method of insuring peace.
He described the pacts as regional
arrangements which could be ap-
proved by the League of Nations"
and which would serve to bolster up
League functions.
He said Geneva's functions should
be limited 80 its powers may be
real"
AS for sanctions, he described as
"the very Midsummer Of madness"
the idea it is still possible to preserve
the independence of Ethiopia by pur-
suing sanctions.
IF we have retained any vestlge
of common sense we must admit we
have tried to impose on the League
a task beyond its powers" the cab
met minister asserted.
Meanwhile, the Duke of Gloucester,
a brother of King Edward VIII, paid
a 15-minute courtesy call upon En-
peror Halle Selassie.
Some political quarters wondered
whether tacit recognition by Great
Britain of Italy's conquest of Ethiopia
was to be inferred from a court cir
cular announcing the visit.
The circular did not use the
phrase Emperor of Ethiopia" mere
ly stating Gloucester called upon En-
peror Halle Selassie."
