1t was untldy-nOC TO say stat
ternly-and in bad taste. Her
mother, who must have been ap-
preaching so, was decked out like
a debutante-even more makeup
than the tender fledglingS use.
The father looked futile and de-
feated, and made bitter remarks
to his wife and daughter during
the only two meals 1 had with
them.
"My girl 'jawed' back. When
we sat at the table, the likeness
between mother and daughter be-
came stronger, and 1 Shuddered to
think what she might be when she
reached her mothers age.
"NOw, I'm sorry for this girl, to
have to live in such a home, but
as she has no job, I couldn't help
wondering why she didn't keep
the place better picked up, and
why she couldn't learn to cook,
instead of having such a meal
thrown on the table: SOggy pOta-
toes, gritty spinach, burned steak.
"Thank goodness, I had not yet
proposed to her, and have de-

cided not to. Yet, I'm sorry for
the girl, and she has her good
points. SECOND THOUGHT"
Too bad you can't do a little
missionary work for this girl who
probably doesn't realize how sor-
did is her home and how bad are
the meals. But if you suggested
anything of the sort, no matter
how tactfully. it would only make
her more sure of your serious in
tentions. Worldly advice suggests
that you fade from the picture.
But I always feel terribly sorry
for girls who lose friends who'd
probably make good husbands,
because they seem to have no
idea how unattractive their homes
really are.

Hints on Grooming

A DVANCE news and ad-
IA vice in the September
"GoOd Housekeeping" is so
good that we must quote: Re
place worn out hair brushes
and tooth brushes, stiff powder
puffs, spongy orange sticks and
lacquerless hairpins. Women
should be careful of halfway
cleansing, which the Beauty
Clinic finds is often the root of
a good many troubles-black-
heads, shiny face, coarse, lem
ony texture, and so on. 1t IS
important to rinse all traces OF
soap suds from the face. Cold
cream should be completely re-
moved. Cotton soaked IN skin
tonic will do this. If the face
seems a little dry, another
layer of cold cream or a powder
foundation cream should be
used" AS we all know, good
grooming is half the battle for
good looks, so watch these
small points.

KEEP YOUR IDEA


my friend and I were invited
to watch people brOadcaSting over
the radio. While there, a boy
played the piano, and 1 fell for
him at once. Sunday, he came
to play at our reunion, and I loved
him even more. But as he lives
in a distant city, 1 don't know
how to meet or talk to him.
"As this is leap year, would it
be all right to ask him for a date,
if 1 pay the way, or offer him our
car? While he was playing he
smiled at me twice, but l heard
him make a date with another
girl. Il. L."
It doesn't do to push the Leap
Year tradition too far, my dear
girl. One young correspondent of
mine wrote letter to a boy and
said as this was leap year, would
he waive the formality and call.
He wrote her back a letter and
said: THANK you but I am leap
ing in the other direction"
You might get someone to try
and introduce you.

your sister should be given this
place as the hostesS-representatiVe

carried out thoughtfully, with due

Beauty
Hot Sun RObS
The Scalp
By DONNA GRACE

Just now, every Monday morn
ing is bringing back to their va
riouS official desks, scores of
young women, eff e S h e d with
summer sports and vacation pas
times, ready to shoulder their
varied duties with enthusiasm
and goodwill.
Without wishing to be unduly
critical, most of them seem COM
pletely unaware of the toll that
genuine salt water and the blaz-
ing sun has taken of their hair.
We expect them to be full of
vitality and renewed energy
nearly all of them are, but so
many of them are in need of
some beauty aid to Soothe the
rough skin, or to brighten the
faded and sun-bleached hair.
The salt water and sun is good
for the hair up to a certain de-
gree, but few of us want to limit
our time when we are enjoying
these outings.
There is no objection to a
tanned skin at this time of the
year, but there is never a time
when we find anything attractive
about hair that has taken on a
streaked, faded, nondescript color.
1t is possible to recondition hair
with my treatment for tired hair,
but there is no instantaneous or
overnight change. It will take a
month or so to show any notice
able improvement, so just be pa
tent and go to work.
There are new tintS that are
effective, at once, and when it is
necessary to effect an immediate
change it is advisable to select the
tint you desire and repair the
damage at once.
Send for my Treatment for
Tired Hair. You will like it, even
if you have the tint applied. En-.
close a stamped, SeIf-addreSSed en-
veIOpe for your reply, and address

"MuSt acknowledge each gift
with a personal letter, or must l
have forms made out for that pur,
pose?
"WilI the hotel take care of the
seating arrangements? There will
be no bridesmaids. There will be
my four brothers, two with their
wives, my sister. his three sisters,
his witness. and possibly his aunt
and her husband, my employer,
and my cousin and her husband.
Please give me an idea of the seat
ing arrangements. My mother is
not well. and so will probably not
be able to attend the reception.
"READER."
The invitation for such an in
formal wedding as you are plan
ming would, appropriately, be of
an informal kind, the written note
of invitation. Since your mother
is not well, these notes could be
written by you, and the one to the
groom'S aunt, for instance, would
read something like this:
Dear Mrs. Gray Tor Dear Aunt
Mary, if you call her that:
Tom and want so much to
have you and your husband with
us on "the day." Tuesday, the first
of September. The marriage cere-
mOny will take place at 4 o'clock
in the chapel of the United
Church. There will be just
present, and it would make
us both so happy if you and Mr..
Gray will be at the church for the
ceremony, and directly afterward,
at the hotel, for an informal gath
ering of the members of the fam
lily. Do tell us that you will come,
won't you?
Dearest love to you both from
Ted and me.
DeVOtedly,
Every gift that you receive
must be acknowledged with a
letter of thinks written by you.
No printed or engraved ready
made cards of thanks will do.
And make a definite resolve that
you will have every one of these
wedding gifts thanked for, by
note, before you leave for your
wedding trip. COT course there
may be one or two presents that
arrive too late for pre-wedding
acknowledgements but these
are the only ones that can be
excepted to the rule above)
1t is you, not the hotel man
agement, who should take care of
the seating arrangements. De
termining who should sit by
whom is too much of response
bility for a hotel management,
and makes you and your family
appear too casual about social
details, important social details.
There are several important
regulations for you to keep in
mind concerning these seating
arrangements. You and the
groom sit together, you on your
groom'S right, the groom's witness,
who probably takes the place of
the best man, would be given
the seat at your right. Since you
are to have no attendant, your
sister might be given the place
that is given to the maid Of
honor. at the left Of the groom.

IT'S well to remember that salt
i water and sand play havoc with
your hands, and if you're going
on a vacation to the beach, or
have just come back from one,
you should give special attention
to softening and rejuvenatlng
your hands. They are apt to be
too dry, a bit wrinkled, and to
have a much older look than is
necessary. AS you no doubt know,
hands early show age, and unless
you give them extra good care,
will prove tell-tales. There's a
fairly new hand cream on the
market which is good far all-time
use but is particularly desirable
right now, to eradicate the effects
of too much sun or salt. 1t is a
soft, pink tinted, non7sticky type
of cream which is quickly alb
sorbed by the skin, leaving it
smooth, white and attractive. 1t
has marvellous powers of keeping
your hands young looking, and
can be used both day and night.
It has a lovely fragrance, too. A
tWo-ounce jar is Goo.

REPUBLICANS ?
 H0LD D ANOTHER
 THEATRE RALLY
Appropriate Music Played Candidate Mccain Re-
 peatedly Challenged

The Republicans held another rally last night. This time mov- ing over to the Juneau Coliseum Theatre Howard Stabler served as Chairman of the evening, describ- ing the audience as a nice, good crowd with quite number of Re- publicans." There was the usual large number of children to enjoy the free movie, but there was no pictures of Presidents last night. Rather, the program committee of fered fishing comedy film, which many seemed to think was approp- riate.
 The evenings entertainment op- ened with several organ selections, among them, Indian Love Call ? Red Sails in the Sunset and No body's Sweetheart Now" An ex- cellent duet was presented by Rom aid Lister and Henry Benson, their voices blending admirably to the tune, "Oh, Suzanna,' they using the words, "Landon, Oh Landon."
 Candidates and campaign lead CTS then took their seats back of the footlights. Reading, left to right, were Mrs. Charles Sey, Mrs. All bert White, H. R. Shepard, Cash Cole, Lester O. Gore, Howard Stab Ter, Grover Vim, Harry Mccain, Jack Wilson, Hanniford Henning and Elton Engstrom.
 Sends Messages
 With the services of radio sta- tion KINY acquired and the hook up made, Chairman Stabler deliv- cred several messages via the radio, and checked on some which it was assumed must have been sent pre- viously via the Signal Corps tele- graph office. He especially extend ed greetings to the Alaska. Native Brotherhood, and delivered other messages, which appeared to the lis teners to have cut the G. O. P. telegraph tolls appreciably Several commented that it probably was the first step toward balancing the budget
 The various candidates and lead CTS were introduced, H. R. Shep- ard, Republican candidate for Ter ritorial Senator, advising the lis teners if they could not vote for the Republicans on September 8 to vote anyway
 MT. Gore was the first speaker of the evening, the delegate can didate taking second spot to MT. Mccain, who talked about an hour, mostly about Delegate, Anthony J. Dimond. MT. Mccain is running against Attorney General James s. Truitt and Senator Henry Roden. The Chairman apparently had thought MT. Gore was to be the principal speaker and introduced MT. Mccain first, but learning his error. reversed the introduction,
