BOATS WILL RACE
IN -FOUR CLASSES
Moths Will Open Program
at 2 Today on Course
Off Hams Point.
BY BILL DISMER, JR.


- HORTLY after o'clock this aft
ernoon a cluster of cleaning
white sails will appear out of
- the northeast off Hams Point
and shore watchers will be seeing the
first lap of the initial race of the
wear of the Potomac River Sailing
Association.
1t will be the moths, those trim
little 11-footers, that will be leading
the way in the days inaugural, but
soon after will appear the sails Of the
comets, class B boats and those in
class A-the four races being sched-
uled to start in that order at flve-mln-
ute intervals from the east side of the
War College.
AS if not enough spice were pro-
vided by the actual opening OF the
sailing season, competitors and in
formed bystanders will note with add
ed zest the debuts of two seasoned
mariners, whose activities hltherto
have been exclusively confined TO
power boating.
Edward C. Baltz and DR.. G. Bache
Gill are the two who will be testing
their skill with the wind for the first
time in competition today. Both mem
bers of the Corinthian Yacht Club,
they will be sailing dingheys in class
B, in which Froman Shaw. also Of
Corinthian, is the defending cham
pion of 1885. About II or Is boats
are expected to answer the gun.
Sturdy Class b Craft.
A THIRD Corinthian member, War;
rem Mitchell, will compete with
his boat Louise, with which he took
second place in class B last season,
Robert Menzel's Skipit is expected to
be sturdy contender.
AS pace-setters for the races, the
half dozen moths which will start off
the days activities will lead the way
over the courSk from off the War
College $50 yards southwest to the
bell buoy off the point. up the George
town Channel half way to the rail-
road bridge and return. Two laps
will constitute each race, which must
be finished in two hours.
Following the moths will be the
craft that proved extremely popular
last season and of which there now
are more than 80 in local waters
the comets. Only around dozen are
expected to compete today. however.
With the feet almost completely dom
mated by members of the Capital
Yacht Club, a spirited intra-club
battle is imminent with the return OF
a dark horse who gave former lead
ers the filters at the flag end Of last
season.
While D. Werner Smythe, H. H. ia
cobs and R. Clyde Cruit-recognized
leaders in this class-eXpect to be in
the thick of the fight for top honors
again this season, their doubts of SUI

Bouquet or
Gift for the
Debutante
Either Is Proper and
Generally Greatly
Appreciated.
BY EMILY POST.


NEAR MRS. POST: Is it proper to
send q present rather than
flowers to q debutante. because 1t is
more than likely that she will get
plenty Cf bouquets2
Answer-While the members Of her
family, or Q devoted relative, some
times give debutante a gift Of last
ing value, such as a ring, q necklace
or q pin, others usually send flowers
If they send her anything at all. If
you know the debutante very well,
there is no reason why you may not
send a present, which Is permanent,
instead of flowers, which are for the
moment only. And yet to the typi-
cal debutante, one more bouquet
added to her background at her
coming -out party is apt to give her
greater Joy. than anything else of
similar value.
Dear Mrs. Post: I am a profess
sional singer. My father has been
objecting to my singing, as some
times do, when as q guest at enter
tainments iI high-class places in town,
am asked to add something to the
regular program. He thinks It is
cheapening, and mother and feel
that can do nothing else except be
amiable about It.
Answer-It could not possibly
cheaper you personally, but II you are
appearing without compensation it
could certainly lessen your commercial
value as professional. Naturally
one person cannot be expected to pay
well for something you give away so
willingly. On the other hand, If you
are only hoping to become profess
sional some day, your appearances will
help build your public, and the good
will your generosity is undoubtedly
creating for you should in time help
you in getting well-paid engagements.

The Beauty
Inventory
Good Plan
Checking Up on Skin
and Hair-Treat-
ment Suggested.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

AS TOLD you yesterday. after
= the holiday shopping rush you'll
probably need quite as much repair
work-generally-as you doubtless did
after the very carefree Summer season
(or is that too far away TO re-
member?)
The bigger tasks have already been
discussed. And now for the little
details that are nevertheless very i'm
portant, particularly II you are to
wear your evening gown for the first
time this season.
1t Is only right for every woman
to stop and say to herself, How will
others see me?" Now, your mirror
probably answers that and If you are
as truthful with yourself as your mir
ror is with you, you can judge i'm
partially. Pay special attention to
the back view. The back Of your head.
the back Of your neck, your shoulders.
Your coiffure: If you are having
your hair set at a beauty salon the
day Of the important party, tell your
hairdreSser to concentrate on giving
your hair a neat, beautiful arrange
ment in the back. Deep swirls con-
tinue in favor-and no matter what
the hair style, II the coiffure follows
the natural lines Of the head closely
1t Is bound to be beautiful. II you
are doing your own hair, make the
arrangement as simple as possible, and
be sure there are no raggedy ends.
The little curriers' are fine for keeping
ringlets neat and curriers' Of kid or
metal are very inexpensive.
Your neck-It has more than likely
been living under fur collar for the
last month or two. And fur collars
have q way of darkening the skin to
an alarming extent. so much so that
face and neck don't look like sisters
Of the skin at all. Lemon juice and
peroxide Chalf and halD make an
efficient bleach. Cleanse first, pat the
bleach on and allow to dry. Then
massage with good nourishing
cream.
Shoulders-H you are going TO ex-
pose them, be sure they are good to
look at-no excess padding and no
hollows, but good contour. Other
wise choose one Of the clever gowns
that remain decollette enough, yet
cover shoulder defects.
Arms-Here again contour Is very
important, and do hope you have
been exercising your arms to keep
them in trim. At this season Of the
year there's another little difficulty
that certainly takes away from the
smoothness of things-gooseflesh. The
arms when covered with these little
goose pimples are neither good to look
at nor soft to touch. The circulation
must be whipped up. First scrub, and
hard, too, with stiff bristled brush
and soap, then let the warm water
run over the arms to remove the soap.
then cold water. then towel rub and
finally a massage with cream.
