ELECTRICTY-HERE
AND ABROAD

Henry G. knaf OF TIE Consolidated
Edison Company. has made a fac
tual study of retail use Of electricity
in Europe. Conditions in seven re-
preventative countries were inves-
tigated, including foreign nations
where electric development has been
relatively rapid. such as Norway and
Switzerland.
Mr.. Knaf's survey shows that in
these countries. the cost of electric
power. ON a comparative basis of
wage eranefs' pay, averages three
times as high as in our country. That
IS, the cost Of power per kilowatt
hour in the United States amounts to
8.4 per cent Of the hourly wage paid
skilled worker. In the European
countries, it amounts to q per cent.
This unusual comparison casts ad-
ditional light on the. old debate Of
whether the U. S. electric utilities
have done good job. In the seven
European countries studied. electric
development has been largely by
while in this country
1t has been primarily by private ini-
tiative and enterprise. And Ameri-
can rates are not only much lower.
when living standards and incomes
are taken into account. but service
is almost invariably better and use
Of power in the average home is
greater.
Some critics Of the private electric /
utilities cite cases of European coun- !.
tries where farm electrifcation has
been developed to a high
er degree than in the United States.
What they don't cite is the fact that

Fashion Hints

Clothes for the country club are
now demanding attention and
Helen KoueS, fashion director Of
Good Housekeeping, gives these
tips: e
For sports, the bifrcated mode
is one Of the most important
shorts, one-piece playSuitS, Stacks,
and-neweSt and SnarteSt-the
culotte skirt. Clothes for play or
the side lines have q new look
square, box lines tending toward
smaller waist and hips. Sports
have square shoulders and reach
Just above the knee. Make the
most Of buttons, or show none at
all. ToeleSs sandals with flat or
medium heels are much worn.
For evening, black and white
are important-black for the din.
ner suit or dress, white for formal
evenings. There Is q definitely
more covered-up look in dinner
clothes, whether suit or dress, and
the evening tailleur has come to
stay. There are lots of prints,
in both crepe and chiffon, and
nothing Is smarter than white for
more formal wear. You win wear
lots Of sheer fabrics -chiffonS,
laceS. and nets: satin also stages
a comeback, especially In white.

Clever Ideas
In Buttons

PARIS.-Many striking ideas
are being developed in the realm
of buttons. For sport blouses, a
clever manufacturer uses numbers
to replace ordinary buttons on the
front Of the garment. These mum.
berS ranging from one to nine, are
of plastic material, sometimes in
bright color to form q contrasting
effect against the blouse fabric, or
else in imitation ivory, tortoise
shell or delicate pale amber. The
signs Of the Zodiac have also been
a source of inspiration for button
designers and have been used with
great originality by leading dress
makers for summer afternoon OF
beach dresses. The Chinese in
Spiration, so noticeable in dresses
has also been the departure for
many novelties in the line Of but
tons. One style shows Chinese
script engraved on mother-of-pearl
discs or plastic plaquettes in Chi
nese lacquer red.

Congratulations on having

you cared more for your Faith

lied. That's why you turned to

lead so many young women who

turned to this young man because

KISSING GAMES
Dear Miss Fairfax:
my girl and I became engaged
the first Of the year. Some Of her
friends gave US . party, and kiss
ing games were played. I was dis.
gusted when she let the ether
fellows kiss her. 1 walked out,
took my hat and went home, let
ting her come as best she could
with the kisserS. Don't you think
/ was right? MICHAEL"
No.. indeed; I think you were
very wrong not to see that this
girl arrived home safely. kissing
games are a question Of taste, and
played together by Q company Of
young people are probably not rs
dangerous as the two-by-tw0 Kind.
suppose your girl didn't Hike
to fly in the face Of the company
and say she didn't play kissing
games because she was engaged.
I really, think, my dear Michael,
you should have been more toll

up with her, II she will have you

J.. A. D-When one loses all
the hair through a diseased con-
dition Of the scalp, it will require
patience to bring about q healthy
growth again. Your doctor has
done well to restore the growth as
far as it is now, and I would ad.
wise you to continue treatment
under his care. For the average
case Of falling hair, I can send
you q marvellous treatment, but
when there has been an infection
Of any kind, 1t may not be safe
to rub and massage the scalp.
The carbolated vaseline or a
sulphur ointment may be bene-
fetal, but you must know first
whether or not you may use fric-
ton on the scalp. Alcohol should
not be injurious, and is a good
antiseptic. You do not need a
daily application Of the mango
cure you say YOU are using.
When you consult your doctor
you may find he win order a
treatment similar to- mine, so
will be glad to mail 1t to you if
you care for it.
Arline-Do not use the very hot
water for your shampoos-it is
too drying to the hair. You need
rather warm water for q good
shampoo, but never the scalding
temperature you are using.

dress would be less "dressy," more
appropriately an afternoon dress,
less tending toward formality.
The simpler your dress is in cut,
the less conSpicuouSly formal it
will be, and the more appropri-
ately it will adapt itself to the
informal attire Of your groom
to-be.
But it would be definitely inap-
.propriate for you to wear a veil,
even q fingef-tip veil, when your
fiance Is to wear business suit.
With your dresSy lace dress and

dressed, and this would be all out
Of order with the informal attire
Of the groom.

White Lace Smart

3 White Lace Smart
IT'S been so long since we we
worn lingeries with white
lace that many of US have for
gotten how smart it looks.
Particularly this year, when
the deeper pastels are fash
ionable in our intimate gar
ments, white laces stand out
with startling chic and
clarity. If you want some
gowns that are beautiful, in
excellent fashion, and becom-
ing, be sure to investigate
these. They are handmade
with hand-embroidery or other
delightful little hand touches,
bat the real news note is the
white lace against the dusty
rose, dusty blue and pink. In
spite of their colors, they are
rather bridey, and they will
make superb gifts.

"NOw I am wondering IL / will
be Over-dresSed In this costume
considering that the groom will
wear . business suit. What Il your
opinion about this? I have always
wanted to be married In white,
but I do want to be appropriately
dressed. s.. a.
"Ie you should say that the lace
dress is proper, would 1t be proper
for me to wear . finger.tip veil?
II not, what else could I wear ON
my head? go ALICE"
I can well understand that you
might wonder about the cos
tune that you had planned to
wear at your wedding. A white
lace dress of the kind that you
have outlined in your letter Is
definitely informal attire.
But I can understand too, thor
oughly, that you would like to
wear q white dress at your we'd
ding. So I suggest that you wear
q white lace. dress, but II it has
not already been made, or can be
a bit re-designed, modify some
what its design.
It is the puffed sleeves and the
full skirt that makes 1t tend in
type toward formality. So, If pos.
sible, why not modify the type
of Sleeves and have them long
sleeves and plain in cut? And
keep the skirt ankle-length, but
have the skirt not so full, but
straighter in line? Then your
