BY EMILY POST,

DEAR MRS. POST: was In the
hospital recently and an older
friend brought me book. When she
handed it to me she remarked that
her family had enjoyed the story SO
much and she thought perhaps would
find 1t diverting. Am I to consider
this book as a gift, or do you suppose
this is their family copy and am I
expected to return 1t?
Answer-If 1t Is q new copy, then
certainly 1t is a present. If. however,
it is an old book and above all If it
has a name in the front of it other
than your own. it should be returned.
DEAR MRS. POST: I've seen 50
many people over the holidays
who ask me to remember them to my
parents, who used to live here but have
moved to the Far West. What should
I answer these people who ask to
be remembered when 1 write?
Answer-"Thank you, I'm sure
mother and father will be very glad
to hear news of you" or I'LL be de.
lighted to tell them or any spon-
taneous answer.

NEAR MRS. POST: I have q pair
of lovely amber glass candlesticks,
which to me are precious" I would
like to use these on my living room
fireplace mantel with white candles
in them. but my daughter tells me
that they should not have candles in
them If stood there. since candles are
never properly placed anywhere un.
less they are lighted.
Answer-I think your daughter must
be confused with the conventional re.
quirement that candles should not be
put on the dining table unless they
are lighted Even then it is often the
case-especially in the Summer when
days are longer-that they are not
lighted until halfway through dinner.
Candlesticks without candles look like
a figure without head. Candlesticks
and candelabra both with candles
in them, Of course) as we'll as the
matching clock, are, as a matter Of
fact. the most conventional mantel
ornaments known.

magic"
BY ELSIE PIERCE,

IMAJoR catastrophes may come
with breath-taking suddenness,
but for the most part evolution of
life and love and even beauty prepa-
rations is gradual business. 30
gradual, in fact, that we are unaware
Of the in-between stages of progress
and see only the peaks.
That's why 1t Is so difficult to put
finger on the reason for sudden
disappearance of superlative claims
on beauty bottle labels, in booklets,
in ads. A combination of things ac-
count for it. 1t may have started
In clash between reputable and
questionable manufacturers and prod
ucts. The first based on merit; the
second on claims of magic" The
theory that women are gullible. that
they are more interested in promise
OF romance than in proof Of sound
sense motivated the magic" claims,
But the merit" group decided TO do
some educational work.
And today We have proof Of the
| fact that women are not averse to
education. Today We want to know
what ingredients go into the making
Of certain products whether the cos
metics We use contain pure food COL
oring. we talk about vitamins, about
allergy.
Today If We have enough faith in
the merit" of a cream or lotion to
purchase the article, We also have
enough faith in the manufacturers
knowledge of that article to follow
the directions on the label. We ere
profoundly interested in the latest
methods of molding the skin. of ap-
plying rouge and powder. We want
to know why cream will do what
the manufacturer promises.
Speaking of promises, when, here
and there. We encounter a claim of
magic" We doff our hats in sweep
ing gesture of skepticism, about-face
and run to the nearest exit.
Today We are not surprised when
a beautician directs us to get a new
pair of shoes" in response to our re-
quest for an anti-wrinkle cream to
shoe the deep lines under the eyes
Nor when, upon purchasing an acme
lotion for blemished skin, we are
warned do look to your diet, for the
lotion will do nothing for you so long
as you continue to eat rich foods and
excess sweets and starches."
II, in frantic forgetfulness, We ask
for little magic ourselves, for quick
results. We are blandly told that You
cannot undo overnight the damage
Of years"
It's all sane and sound and sci.
entif1c: all based on merit" and even
then there's a proviso clause-an If
'on a foundation of health, first"
Do you know how to read your
skin and what you need for It? My
bulletin How to Tell Your Skin and
What to Do About It" may be Of
interest to you. Send self-ad-
dressed, stamped (3-cent) envelope

Manners
of the
Moment

SOMEHOW those husbands who
come sliding home in their stock
ing feet at 3 am. seem to us to have
missed the point entirely. We've been
told that it's not Harvey's coming in
late that bothers a wife so much.
What gets her down is not knowing
for the two or three hours after he
said he would be home whether he's
in . poker game or a hospital. Yet
Harvey never seems to get the idea.
There's just one way We know of to
prove to Harvey that what you really
want Is assurance and not slavery.
That Is to step out yourself some
night and give him taste Of his own
vagrancy. Tell him that you expect
to be home by IL. Then be sure to
stay out until 1890 anyhow. When
you come in, take off your shoes and
pretend you don't know he's peeking
around the bed room door.
Pretty soon he'll start making re-
marks. And when he gets to the place
where he says that he doesn't mind
your staying out late once in while,
but when you said you'd be home by
II and didn't get there, he was just
worried, that was all, and why in the
name Of thunder didn't you call him
up? when he gets to that point
you've won.
Just one more thing. Don't try this
cure on a man who thinks that Hitler
probably has the right idea after all.
Il won't work. JEAN.

choose your vegetables do you Judge
them according to wastiness as well
as appearance and food value? One
study shows that onions, tomatoes.
young carrots and snap beans lose
less than 10 per cent as waste In
preparation for cooking. Vegetables
having waste Of less than 20 per cent
are potatoes, sweet potatoes. turnips,
cabbage, caulif1ower, eggplant, broccoll
and SQUASH. The vegetable having the
greatest waste Is green corn on the
cob, with IS per cent, and those vege-
tables growing in pods-peas and
lima beans. Kale and spinach waste
about SO and 40 per cent, respectively.
THE cooking qualities Of different
varieties of potatoes, Of green
soybeans, Of fats for deep-fat frying
and various other foodstuffs has been
tested and tasted. The rib roast OF
beef in your basket illustrates the CO.

reau carries on jointly with the Bu-

these studies are primarily intended
as q guide to the production of bet

while We we're still planning our VIM
ter clothes, she was working out clever
designs for fabrics that she believed
would appeal to the American woman.
The result is series OF amusing
prints that are extremely unusual and
at the same time most wearable and
smartly styled.
Based on topical events or on IA
nous sights of Paris, plus the always
popular garden theme, there are neat
little spaced designs or splashy all
over patterns, all in vivid colorful
effects which will be perfect to wear
under the fur coat, or on the street
later in the season. Afternoon and
street frocks in silk crepes and silk
shantungs, for women, misses and
smaller women are being shown in
these Schiaparelli prints.

Wouldn't 1t stop many a womans

And take mems standard grievances
against their wives-that their wives
are poor cooks and bad managers:
that their wives are extravagant;
that their wives get fat and dull and

Well, suppose before the husband
got out his hammer for his wife ne
had to give a lifelike imitation Of
what a wife should be. Suppose he
had to show that he could make better
bread than his mother used to make.
Suppose he had to show that he could
perform some sort of conjure trick
that would draw down good meals
out Of the air and keep the childrens
shoes from wearing out and the butch

he had to show that he could do q

critical of their wives?

K. of L. SpeedbOys Sign for Second Series With
 Maspeth Rivals

With five straight victories under their belts, the Knights of Lithuania Speedboys will tackle the formidable Maspeth, Long Island K. of L. quin- tet at St. Joseph's hall In the first half of second home and home series between the two clubs Satur- day night
 The local five has knocked of its rivals twice this season, winning at home last month and repeating the trick on the enemy surface three weeks ago. These two setbacks have been the sorest spots in & schedule which has seen the Long Islanders come out on top in 40 out of 45 bat. ties.
 Two More Games
 The Speedboys, generous souls that they are, have signed to an- other series and Saturdays contest will be followed up by another per- formance in Maspeth, April II. A large delegation of home town sup- porters is expected to accompany the invaders, now that they recov- cred sufficiently from the shock of having seen their favorites toppled before their very eyes in their own backyard-an event which has hap pened but three times in three cam- paigns.
 The feature game, which will get underway at 9 o'clock, will be bol- stered by two other contests to be arranged later. The program will start at 6:30 p. m.
