Prints Favored

PARIS.-While printed dresses
are still combined with coats or
three-quarter jackets in plain ma
terial, there is a tendency, this
season, to adopt printed material
for the whole ensemble. In some
cases, the jacket is in the same
print but in contrasting color.
For instance, a dress with dark
background and light print de-
sign will have a jacket of the
same print pattern, but with
light ground and dark design.
Little ensembles composed Of
dress and short jacket. in
navy blue with white floral de-
signs, are considered the thing
for early spring wear. Small
prints representing rabbits, pigs
from Colcombet, or fish, always
on the same rayon crepe ground,
are much favored.

We depend on it as the prin-
cipal agent in elimination of
waste material from the body,
and we are advised to drink
from two to three quarts of
water day.
It Is so necessary to a clear
skin and bright eyes to cleanse
the stomach and inteStines with
q real internal bath, and for
the morning draught, hot water
is more effective.
Warm Water
This lavage will assure a sweet
breath, and in all normal adults
will be the means of relieving
congestion or gases of the in
teStineS.
Some physicians tell us we al
ways would be in good health
if we drank enough water to
keep the digestive tract clean.
All this you may feel has no
real place in a beauty talk, but
everyone knows good health is
the greatest beauty asset.
Even the plainest features will
radiate beauty when the body is
in normal and in good health.
Water for external cleanliness
is the universal rule, and when
we know the skin function as an
eXcretory organ we will realize
the Importance of frequent bath
ing.
The innumerable pores must
be kept free from obstruction,
or the fine texture of the skin
may be impaired.
Bath Temperature
Warm or tepid baths with all
the bath oil and crystals are best
for cleansing, but the real stimu-
liant is derived from the cold
water. This stimulation reacts on
the nervous system and relieves
the tension of the muscles, and
this in turn will promote normal
digestion and circulation.
Begin with at least a quart a
day, if you have not been drinking

Etiquette
WEDDING GUEST
Dear Mrs, Beeckman:

II received a wedding invita-
ton to which 1 am to respond
in the next few days. The re-
ceptiOn is to be held in a nearby
restaurant, and 1 am wondering
just how to word my acceptance.
I assume such a note would be
addressed to the parents of the
girl as Mr.. and Mrs. Blank. Is
that correct?
II have also been wondering
what would be proper to wear.
1 shall have to come to my office
in the morning and leave about
4:3O for the church, and then
from there to the reception. l
have a three-piece suit, also a
beige dress with a jacket which
might wear. Under the circum-
stances / cannot wear anything
fussy, as l have to be at my Of
flee all day. Any suggestions will
be appreciated. G."
Yes, your acceptance to the
reception invitation, if the invita-
ton is the usual formal engraved
one, should be addressed to the
parents of the bride, in whose
name the invitation is given.
They are the hosts of the occa-
sion, and so to them goes the &C
acknowledgement.
For this 4::30 ceremony and S
o'clock reception either costume
your three-piece suit or the
beige dress and jacket-Would be
appropriate for you to wear.
Wear the one that you consider
the better looking, the one more
inclined toward formal day attire.
You don't give me much descrip-
ton to base a judgment on, but
I'm inclined to think that the
three-piece ensemble might be the
more appropriate.

Here's an idea that should
appeal to all people who are
fashion minded, and who
have a practical streak. It's
buying dress, blouse and hat
all of the same material, so
that you can wear the hat
with your linen suit and the
blouse, or with the dress. The
material they come in is a
spun rayon that looks like
linen, and is really grand. The
styles are smart and up-to-
the-minute, and colors heav-
emily, some vivid tones, all the
good pastelS and white. Hats
are Breton sailors type, or
rundown shapes, with new
style crown. Prices are very
reasonable, 1895 for the
dresses, $1.95 for the nat, $1.95
for the blouse. Best news of
all, is that you can get your
size. They range from IA

they are ready to be baked. A
beginner will find it more pleas
ant to make the recipe in small
amounts.
The amount and method of
adding the sugar is very import
ant. 1t is added very slowly after
the eggs have been beaten to per-
lection. A small amount of sugar,
say one tablespoon to each egg
gives a fluffy rather towering
meringue. More sugar makes them
soft and shiny and with a more
pleasing flavor.
The rules for baking the same
as for angel cake. Place on an un-
creased baking sheet and bake in
slow oven. If the temperature of
the oven is too high, your beauti-
full meringueS will Shrivel up to
nothing.
Many different kinds of pud-
dings and pies have a topping of
soft smooth meringue. For this,
the eggs are beaten stiff but not
dry, sugar and favoring added.

to brown.
Lemon chiffon pie is also an ex-
cellent choice for party dessert.

A baked Alaska seems to violate
all the rules of sensible cookery.
It is made with ice cream yet
served hot. Two eggs, made into
meringue, are Drowned under the
broiler under quick heat.
The browning is done quickly,
otherwise the ice cream would
not hold up. However, the air
in the beaten egg whites acts as
a non-conductor of heat and pro-
tects the ice cream underneath
so that it does not melt.

Without some practice they are
rather difficult to prepare. Once
the art is mastered, they become
fun to do and rather simple.
This recipe. if accurately fol-
lowed, will prove very satisfac-
tory:

Lemon extract.
Beat the egg white dry and
add the sugar slowly, beating
after each addition. Add the ex-
tract and shape with pastry tube.

creased baking sheet for so min
utes $3.50 degrees). Cool.
There are few precautions to
take in making them. The eggs
don't beat up as easily if used
directly after taking from the
refrigerator. Let them warm to
room temperature.

must be beaten not only stiff but

BELATED ROMANCE
Dear Miss Fairfax:

"My wife and I we're married
as soon as we left high school. Our
ages were II and Is, and though
1 am not yet 40, 1 am a grand
father. Our married life has been
all any man could ask for. She
has been good and faithful, and
has helped me to make social con-
nectiOns, through her family n
fluence, which have put us on easy
street.
1.-TWO yeas ago I met a girl of
% and fell as wildly in love with
her as only man can who has
had no youth. For / married too
young. This girl is as far from
the gOld-digger type as possible.
She will not accept the simplest
gifts or favOrs from me, yet she
loves me as devOtedly as 1 love
her.
"My wife and are friends. Our
youthful love has faded, and it is
torture for me to see this girl
every day. My children would
never forgive me if I should leave
their mother. Sometimes l think
the only way out would be a deS-
perate one.
"MAN OF FORTY"
If you're the type of man who
considers the greatest good of the
greatest number, you'll do the
heroic thing. But alas, how many
of us are heroic? If you divorce
your wife, you will not only break
her heart but ALLEVIATE your chill
dren. And whatever may be said
on the surface, you will lose the
respect of your friends and &C
quaintanceS who will regard you
as just one more foolish and
forty" whose head has been
turned by young girl.
The sane thing will be to forget
this beautiful romance. Would it
really make you happy to marry
this girl, and thereby cause so
many people dear to you, so much
unhappineSS?

Dear Miss Fairfax:
He told me he liked me
very much, but when we were
seen together, a few of my So
called friends would try to
start something whenever we
met"
"After finding they could not
get him themselves, they intro
duced him to a very attractive
blonde, and after seeing him with
this girl 1 stopped speaking to
him altogether.
zone night we met accidentally,
and he said he had something to
tell me. The time passed so
quickly that neither of us realized
it had become so late. The next
thing 1 knew my mother came for
me and scolded me all the way
home. This was SO embarrassing
that I feel if we ever had a
chance of making up, it's gone
now. MARY"
You will see, my dear Mary, I
have given only a small fraction
of your letter which seemed a
perfect recipe to me for losing
any interest this young man may
have in you. When he wanted
to speak you cut him dead. You
permitted yourself to be influ-
enced by people who were un-
friendly to you. You've done
about everything to wreck this
friendship. Brace up and act
like a sensible girl.

MAKE-UPS for sports and beach
WA wear are tending toward the

tell us they are going lightly on
powder and rouge, depending on
the lips for color interest. Eye
makeup will be saved for evening,
unless it is so well done that it
is not noticeable. For sports, the
lashes and upper lids will be
touched with cream to give a
moist, deWy look. Faces will be
lightly tanned, and powder will be
a lighter shade than last years

The red tone Of the lips will
highlight the face. And the latest
decree for reds is use them bur,

stick are especially designed to
give the perfect accent to a sun,

Drowned reds with FURNISHED
undertones that are grand with
creamy skins, and give soft,

One lipstick contains a special oil
that protects the lips and guards
them against the tiny cracks and
wrinkles that age the mouth SO
rapidly. It is smooth and creamy,
too, giving the lips a young look.
