If the house wedding is to be
along formal lines, the bride wears
formal wedding dress and bridal
veil, as she would wear at formal
church wedding. If the house
wedding is to be informal, the
bride may wear a hat, if she wishes,
or a coronet of flowers, or she may
prefer not to wear a hat.
The brides mother, who is the
hostess of the house wedding, does
not wear hat.
Two o'clock in the afternoon

Beauty Counsel
Bv DONNA GRACE

Water waving was at one time
a very popular method of waving
the hair, but since the hairdressers
have become so def in the art of
finger-waving, the older method
is seldom used.
There are few women, how
ever, who seem to prefer this
method, and it is done in this
way: A set of water wave combs
is necessary. They are about from
4 to 6 inches in length and slightly
curved. Then smaller ones are
used, too, when necessary.
When the hair has been sham
pooed and rinsed, it is wiped with
a towel to remove some of the
water, but it is not dried. It is
again wet with thin wave lotion,
and when combed out, a large
comb is placed with teeth upward
for the first part, and with the
hair guided toward the face.
The second comb is placed
slightly back and under the first
comb with the teeth upward, and
the hair is swung backward in the
opposite direction. This zigzag
movement is repeated almost to
the ends
Both sides and back are finished.

Hearths and
Flowers

Heat has left your hearth, so
replace winter fires with summer
flowers, advises House Beautiful.
For instance, replace your and
irons with four clear crystal bubble
vases-one huge and three smaller
ones-and fill them with the glossy
leaves of Chinese lilies. Instantly
your fireplace becomes a focal
point of GOODNESS and beauty. Or
handle it another way. First close
the opening with corrugated paper,
rolled back like screen. Against
this background set a three-tiered
table of glass and copper, and on
each tier put little brass flower
pot, filled with hylrangeas.
Another arrangement especially
effective is to place a pleated fan
of white glazed paper behind the
logs. To compliment this on the
mantelpiece, place a fan-shaped
double shelf of white wire, gaily
edged with wire Scallops, and hold
ing three white flowerpots. filled
with plants.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-07-02

'and then the ringlet ends are
made. If the hair is long, it may
be done in a roll or finished in
curlS.
When all the combs are placed
securely, piece of tape is wound
around the head to secure them
and hold them firmly in place.
Then a net is used to cover the
head, and it is dried as usual.
When the hair is dry. remove the
combs carefully and let it set and
cool before combing it in place.
Unless the hair has a natural
or permanent wave, it is not ad-
visable to comb it through and
brush it as one does after a finger
wave. It will not hold the wave
so we'll and may comb out alto
gether.
Brilliantine is sprayed on lightly
after the waves are placed, and
the little invisible hairpinS may
be inserted to support the wave
where the hair is heavy.

LOVeIOrn
She Won't Pet,
Loses Dates
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Written Exclusively for
The Washington Times


Dear Miss Fairfax:
"Am queer or different from
other girls? The reason l ask this
question is that / don't like to pet
all and sundry.'
81 can imagine loving to pet the
right one when he comes along.
But the right one hasn't come
along in my case. And to pet, just
for a cheap date, seems common
to me.
II very seldom get any dates,
and after one date, when 1 say
mo, mo- to the petting, 1 never get
q second one.
"It diSguStS me to see the way
young boys want to kiss every girl
they meet. / can't help but laugh:
it makes me think Of babies crawl
ing, and putting everything they
find in their mouths. I told this
to one kisSer, and he has never
spoken to me since.
"HARD-BOILED MISS"
Some people are connoiSseurs in
life; others are not.
Babies crawling about the floor,
and putting everything in their
mouths, from pins to matches, are
not connoiSSeurs. And young
ladies, who pet "all and sundry"
for a cheap date, are outside the
connoiSSeur class, too.
Your standards are higher than
the girls of whom you write, and
I congratulate you.
Your letter was distinctly anus
ing, and I'm sorry I can't publish
it all.

Someone told me the other day
that it is correct, when 1 serve

place the salad fork, just as it

this true? If it is, why?
"ALICE."

GIRLS Staying
HOLDS FATHER

JESUP, Ca, Dec. 1 G.N.SD.
Charged with stamping his IL
year-old step-daughter to death, a
51-year-old itinerant repairman
was being held in Jail here today.
The INDECENT repairman, L. r.
Ward, is alleged to have stamped
the life out of the girl before the
eyes of her terrorized mother, be-
cause he believed she had gone on
a date.
Sheriff R. S. Warren revealed
Ward was arrested Saturday as
he attended the girls funeral,
financed with funds Ward so
licited from merchants. The
sheriff said Ward commended the
girl was killed by an automobile.
Warren said the child, bleeding
from the mouth and ears, was
taken to a Brunswick hospital last
Wednesday and died there a few
days later. He said the girls
mother told him her husband tied
her in the woods near a transient
camp in nearby Jeff Davis county
and chained and beat her last
Tuesday night, after accusing her
and the child of misconduct. Ward
then turned on the child, Warren
said the mother told him, and
beat her, knocked her to the
ground, and stamped on her.
