New Item for
Week End
Beauty Kit
Efficient Midget Raz-
or Packed in Tiny
Cylinder.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

HERE are depllatorleS ana eplla-
tors and all sorts OF superfiuous
hair removers on the market and yet,
for underarm hair removal find that
an amazingly large number of women
prefer shaving. 1t often proves
quicker and safer, with less irritating
effect on a skin that is very delicate.
At any rate, If you prefer shaving
or for emergency purposes, there's a
perfect little shaving kit for the Sum
mer girl. Imagine cylinder case
about S inches long and less than an
inch in diameter that actually holds
razor, shaving brush, and packet of
blades. 1t takes SO little space that
the best thing to do is keep it in your
week end kit, and should you have
forgotten to do the rites before leav-
ing for the beach it won't take but
few minutes to do the trick n the
private confines Of your locker.
The whole thing works like this:
you remove the cap at one end of the
cylinder and-there's the razor which
screws on 3inch handle, with it q
week end supply of blades. The cut
ting action of the razor, by the way.
may be adjusted to the users needs by
varying the amount Of tension on the
handle. Tucked away in the other
end Of the cylinder is 2l2-inch soft
haired shaving brush with a match
ing handle. Then, there Is hole in
the cap fastening to allow the brush
to dry should you have to pack in a
hurry.
It comes in an assortment of colors
to blend with your travelling accesso-
ries and If you are travelling it is as
grand for the Summer long tourist
as for the week-ender. What's more
if you're a stay-at-home there's no
reason why you shouldn't have one
too. And it is an ideal guest-room
accessory, also fine for bridge prizes.
gift giving and such.
Speaking Of hair removing, few
special dos and don't's are not amiss.
Before shaving, merely sponge the
skin and gently blot dry. Do not rub
as this may irritate the skin. Then
moisten the skin, apply the lather with
the soft brush. shave and rinse several
times with lukewarm (not hot or cold)
water. Avoid extreme temperature as
this may irritate the skin. Finally
dash a little cold water over the skin
to close the pores. Gently blot dry.
Do not rub. II the skin seems unduly
irritated smooth on a soothing cream
similar to your facial skin food. What
I like to use is q little acne lotion be-
cause 1t is healing and soothing, has
slightly astringent action which helps
to close the pores and 1t also leaves a
film of white that gives the underarms
q nice powdered look.

About
Names And
MOnOgranns
BY EMILY POST.

NEAR MRS. POST-I have been
married some 20-odd years and
must replenish much Of the linen in
my house. Originally these pieces had
been marked with q monogram OF
my maiden initials. The problem to-
day is whether to use my husbands
three initials-since he Is, Of course,
paying for eYerything-or the initials
of my own present signature?
Answer-Linen Is always marked
with a woman's initials. The only
case have ever known Of when this
was not followed was that in q GER
tain house where the husband insisted
upon having blankets and blanket COW
ers on his own bed marked with his
own initials So the wife's bed was
marked with her initials and the
husbands bed with his.
kHk
Dear Mrs. Post-You wrote one time
to a wife who was acting as nurse in
her dentist-husband's ONCE in answer
to her question as to what her hus-
band should call her during business
hours, that he should address her as
Miss Smith, her maiden name, since
he could not properly call her Mary,
and to call her Mrs. Brown would
not be in good taste I can not under
stand why you think that any patti
ent would object to a husband calling
his wife Mary under any circum-
stances. 1t seems to me that to avoid
natural familiarity to this extreme
would be unpleasant rather than effect
the dignity which formality creates
under ordinary business situations, Of
which this is not one.
AnSwer-This whole situation falls
upon the impropriety of the use Of
first names in Offices. 1t does, agree,
sound absurd that man call his own
wife Miss Jones, and still more absurd
that he call her Mrs. His-own- Name.
And yet in this particular case, since
his wife was professional trained
nurse serving in a purely professional
capacity, convention would decree that
calling his assistant Mary (no matter
who she may be in private life) and
having her in turn speak to him as
Bill would be bad form. ! don't know
how to answer this differently.
