"AlsO, in the same vein, is it
necessary to answer a marriage

standing that it is not.

When one receives an invitation
to church wedding ceremony and
to the reception, one should an
Swer Immediately (the same day,
if possible) the reception invita-
ton. 1t is usually not necessary
to acknowledge the ceremony
invitation.
And while it is not necessary to
send the wedding gift the next day
after one has received the invita-
ton, it is best form to send the
gift as soon as possible. This gives
the bride-to-be time to write her
thank-you notes before she leaves
on her wedding trip.
It is not considered strictly nee
essary to acknowledge a marriage
announcement. But circumstances
govern this.
For instance, if there has been
a very quiet wedding, with no 1nVl-
tations and with, say, only the
parents as guests at a ceremony
performed at the minister's house
or at a registry, then friends would
naturally feel that they would like
to write their best wishes IN
acknowledgment of the announce
ment.
But if, on the other hand, there
has been a large or quite large
wedding with many invitations,
and announcements are also sent,
the fact that we are sent an an
nouncement only, indicates that
we are only a casual friend OF
the couple. In this case we would
do as we think appropriate about
writing an acknowledgment OF
the announcement.
A trousSeau tea is a tea given
by the bride-to-be and usually her
mother, a few days before the
wedding-date, for close girl friends
of the bride-to-be. The list Of
guests very often includes also
the mother and sisters Of the
groom, and close women friends
of the brides family.
The idea Of the party is to

"She prolonged her visit past
the date fixed for her return, and
finally 1 got a letter from another
city telling me she had married

"YOu can imagine how I felt.

maiden name. Very naturally l

piled unwillingly.
"On the way home, she told me
she had never been married and
that the entire account of the
sheik and his fascinatiOnS was a
hoax.
"NOw I'm wondering, inaSmuch
as she was away from home so
much longer than she expected, if
perhaps she didn't go off with the
Sheik without marrying him at all.
"She made it very plain to me
that she would like to resume our
engagement, but while 1 am not
interested in any other girl, l hes
itate to take up with this one
again. "EX-SUITOR."
I think you were very wise to
hesitate about restoring this
young lady to your good graces.
If she is telling the truth, prac-
tical jokes carried to that extent
aren't funny. 1t certainly showed
no great degree of interest for her
to stop writing to you while she
was away, and your surmise about
her going off with the shiek may
be correct.
In any case, she doesn't sound
like the sort of girl who would
make a good wife.

Beauty
Healthy Hair
Has Luster
BY DONNA GRACE

1t seems one of the easiest
things in the world to neglect
your hair, for the simple treat
ment necessary to keep it soft
and lovely steals time from the
bedtime hours, when you have
the least to give.
If healthy, the hair resists
neglect with an inspiring sense
of strength, so that it is some
time before you realize the
damage done, and have fallen
into the habit of emitting an eX-
ira massage, shampoo, or the
regular brushing.
The skin responds to treat
ments in very satisfactory way,
and it will also show when it
has been neglected.
The hair reacts in the same
way, but we are inclined to give
it less attention than the skin.
Brush Your Hair
There is not much regularity
in our brushing or oil treat
ments. This is partly due to
our wave and hairdress. No
one wants to brush out a be-
coming and neat wave just to
tone up the hair, but the hair
must have its time for brushing
and exercise.
The best time for these
thorough treatments is the day
or so before going to have a
wave. If you have a regular
time each week for a shampoo
and wave, then you can easily
have a day or two days of
each week when you will give
the hair good tonic treat
ment.
Whether it is dry or oily hair,
it will be improved and stimu-
lated by a good brushing.
Keep Hair Healthy
Brushing will cleanse the hair
as it does remove the dust and
gives it a real polish, or sheen
that all nice hair should have.
Keeping the hair healthy does
not call for the expenditure Of
much money. The time you spend
in a good sensible hair treatment
is the best insurance against weak
and falling hair.
If you have not been doing
right by your hair, why not begin
now and give it the care needed?
You will be delighted with how
lovely you can make your hair
with little extra attention.
1 will be glad to send you my
Treatment for Tired Hair, if you
will enclose a stamped, Self-ad-
dressed envelope for your reply
and address Donna Grace. Beauty

GTAR pottery, something un-
~ usual for your table, or for
your living room! There are
bowls in many sizes, and boxes
with covers that will be useful
for candy and nuts. The pot
terry is in lovely colors, medium
pastel tones, that will be deco
rative in any room. The shapes
are neither modern nor period"
which further recommends them,
as they will be useful gifts for
any home. There's a lovely
cream color, too, which will fit
into color schemes where a pastel
would not do. Prices are hard
to quote, as pieces vary, but good
size bowls are around 81, to give
you an idea.

Velvet Topcoat

All signs point to velvet as one
of the most important fabrics
this season. New and novel is a

a high, fitted waist and double
breasted closing which goes to a
high point at the shoulder. A
high rundown collar and rolled
cuffs are other details.

"Place-Away" Boxes
A LII of us would like to
IA have neat closet shelves
and we can, if we just will
organize those many things
that fill shelves in every
household. The easiest and
best system is plenty of big
boxes-big enough to hold
everything. There's a set of
three huge boxes downtown,
called 'Place-Away" boxes,
strong and sturdy with wood
frames, and covered with
washable paper. The paper is
printed in a flower design on
background of green, brown
or blue, all deep tones. The
set of three sells for $1.95, and
if you want to complete the
color scheme, you can get such
things as shoe racks and
hosiery boxes in the same

THE most compact travel kit
l. we've found to date is
Sketched above, and is designed
for a man. Every man that's seen
it so far has been tremendously
intrigued and impressed, so you
may be sure it will be welcomed
as a Christmas gift, if it should
happen to fit into your list. 1t is
sturdily made, with simulated
leather inside and out, and closes
on three sides with a good slide
fastener that really works. It is
fitted with comb, scissors, nail file,
safety razor with extra blades,
toothbrush, shaving cream (the
brushless kind, and tooth paste.
Completely fitted, it is only 81.
Mems Hat News
A NARROW welt is news in the
IA hat world, when that narrow
welt appears on Homburg.
That's a small guiding note for
men that may be valuable, be.
cause this is the biggest year for
Homburgs that has come along
for many a day. The vogue is no
doubt due to the fact that Sir An
thony Eden wears them practical
ly all the time, and looks so very
we'll in his Homburgs. Mems
clothes are toning down generally,
and are becoming just bit more
formal, and so the Homburg is
naturally the choice of all care
fully dressed men for town wear.
One particularly good Homburg
hat with this narrow welt is called
the "AA1."

DOTTERY and morals mix! For
l. houses that like to be frivolous
and those that ought to be, here
is some gay pottery by Ginori-an
italian with a sense of humor.
Cocktail plates, ash trays; un-
usually shaped pitchers with de-
signs that are slightly mad, such
as ships a7sailing, sad-eyed pup
pies, Cinnamon with long thirstS
and so on down the amusing
list. On the salad plates you'll
find apt epigrams. One is "To-
day wine and laughter-repent-
ance the day after" Another ia
vorite is "It's long time between
drinks" and the old toast, Here's
to old wine and young women" "
We could go on indefinitely, if
there were space. The pieces sell
for IS cents to $3.50.

"UNHAPPY WIFE"

-
My correspondent has written
one of the most unhappy letters
which has ever come to this col
umn, but as she asks me not to
publish it, for fear it might be
recognized by friends familiar
with her tragic situation, there
is nothing to do but regard her
wishes. If she had sent me a
stamped and self lf-addreSsed enVel-
ope, I should have been glad to
have answered her letter person
ally, but as she has failed to do
this, I am at a loss how to pro-
ceed.
This column does not publish
answers without stating the prob
lem. I hope that my correspondent
will write me again, sending a
stamped and personally addressed
envelope. Meanwhile, I trust she
will lose no time in consulting her
family physician and using every
precaution to keep her children
from becoming infected.

The birds were shipped to Tooele

miles of land and millions Of crickets.
So efficient were the birds that they
