HOLLYWOOD, February 6.
There is nothing publicity-making
about Ann Dvorak's greenhouse
in the San Fernando Valley. She
produces half the orchids in town
for the florists, and her latest is
black orchid.
Possibly starting with "The
Thin Man" or My Man God
frey" in both of which everybody
was shown drinking at every pos
sible moment, the Womens clubs
the Americas have set but firmly
upon the Will Hays office about
all this imbibing, to such an eX-
tent that several States have
pledged that not only will they
cut portions of drinking scenes,
they will even delete them com
pletely. So. in the future? if you
see a gal getting hySterical on a
bottle of soda pop, you'll know
why.
Advance reports on Captains
Courageous" from M-G-M, which
features Spencer Tracy and Fred
die Bartholomew among others,
is that it will put "Mutiny on
the Bounty" completely in the
shade, which certainly speaks we'll
for the epic, if it can live up to
it.
So many people have made in
quiries about the amazing locust
scenes in The Good Earth" that
it might do we'll at this moment
to explain, as best one can, how
it was done. First of all. they shot
a grasshopper run in full force in
the Middle West, which were not
locusts at all. Then. at the stu
dio, they imported all the grass
hoppers they could lay their hands
on-Which were a good number,
you may imagine-and that that,
plus an honest bit of cartooning,
double exposing and splicing to-
gether, which, with the addition
of sound effects, manages very
nicely to reduce audience to an
acute state of insect phobia.

at the school auditorium.
BANKHEAD PARTY
The Speaker of the House will
share honors with his talented
daughter. Tallulah Bankhead, at a
Sunday afternoon tea at the May
flower.
Speaker Bankhead has quietly
confessed to some of his intimate
colleagues in the House that Then
he was young he had a yearnlng
to be an actor and this desire for
self-expression was encouraged to
the point that he took dramatic
lessons. Probably that is where
Tallulah got her inclination for
the stage.
! Although Alabama claims the
star of REFLECTED Glory" Tauulah
Bankhead spent so much of her
time in and around the Capital
while acquiring an education
Washington has a Counter-claim
on the actress. She was educated
at the Holy Cross Academy and
at the Fairmount School for Girls
in this city.
The Sunday afternoon tea is Jc

to put over the special benefit
performance of Reflected Glory,
to be given Thursday afternoon
February II, with all receipts going
to the Red Cross fund for flooc
relief. A debutante committee is
helping James Proctor of the
Shubert forces in making this a
gala event.
Tallulah, by the way, would get
a Roosevelt majority if the House
of Representatives could be polleC
on who should play Scarlet
O'Hara in Gone With the Wind.
For her daddy is as popular a pre-
siding officer as ever welded 2

For that condition, the best
treatment is to first sponge the
surface with little pads Of cot
ton dipped in cool boracic acid
and pat dry. Do not rub it.
Then cover the sensitive area
with a thick layer of equal parts
of vaseline and olive oil, or even
plain vaseline.
After you rub it gently into
the skin, remove part of it but
leave enough on to lubricate the
skin. Then cover the whole sur
face with a soft white cloth to
keep away from any friction
and also to protect your gar
ments and bed linen from the
VaSeline.
Do not use water at all on the
irritated parts until they are
perfectly healed and the skin
surface is smooth and white.
You may have your tub bath
but you must use oils, creams
and mild aStringents to cleanse
the irritated parts.
When the skin is in good con-
dition you may indulge in a
thorough soap and water scrub
bing over the face and neck
about twice a month, but be very
careful to rinse off every trace
of soap and use a very gentle
shower.

For a stimulating bath, there
is no better method than the
shower bath. Exhilaration and
glowing skin are always the re-
suit of a shower, especially a
cold one.
Necessary cleansing, of a thor
ough nature, is found in the tub
bath, but it is great satisfac-
ton to end up with the shower,
and it's irresistible effects.
1t is true that some girls
should never indulge in this de-
lightful thrill. But they are
those, whose delicate, sensitive
skin is irritated by any applied
force of water. They are the
ones that write and ask me
why their skins feel so raw and
chapped when they are so care
full to bathe with warm water
and soap, and follow that with
a good shower. Sadly enough,
it is the soap and water, and
especially the shower, that is
causing the trouble.
I am not going to tell you to
give up your daily baths, but
for that dry condition that
makes the skin itch and draw
uncomfortably, you really must
follow your tub bath with a rub
of oil or cream. Do not subject
the neck and face to a shower
or any spray of water. 1t may
even cause the skin to peel off.
That is really what happens
when you find an irritated red
mark about the neck and chez

Manners
By Mrs. Cornelius Beeckmar

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I am planning to have a small
gathering on my first wedding
anniversary. How should write
the invitations so that it won't
look as if I am asking for
presents? P.
There is no gracious way Of
telling guests whom you are
inviting to a party not to bring
gifts. In sending your invita-
tion you may omit the reason
of the party, and Just disregard
the possibility of gifts. How
ever, this is such an important
occasion for a party, and there
fore you would be so eager to
have your friends with you on
this occasion, that I don't want
you to omit telling them it's
this important anniversary. And
comfort yourself with this idea:
that, even when guests do bring
gifts to this first anniversary,
the gifts are usually trifles, not
important" presents.
Your invitation might read:
Dear Mary:
You and John would make
Tom and me very happy if you
will come to our home on Tues
day, the first Of November, at
about eight o'clock, for an in
formal little party to celebrate
our first wedding anniversary.
Please do say you'll come
Love to you both, from Tom
and me.

LOVelOrn
Advice
By Beatrice Fairfax

SSAShSSS ASHS 49,
Dear Miss Fairfax:
would like your advice. I've
been going for three months
with a young man Of 20. He
tells me that he loves me, and
I love him very much. But lately
he has made dates with me and
then breaks them. Twice his
excuse was illness, and the third
time he had to go away. He
never lets me know that he
isn't coming. Shall I act indif-
ferent about it, or should I be
angry? I really am very hurt
about it. Please help me.
DISGUISED.
When a girl permits a man to
make one date after another
with her, and then break them,
she puts herself in what is
known as the "doormat" class,
my dear child. It isn't wise to
let a young man have the upper
hand entirely. Show a little
independence. Break a date or
two yourself, and if I we're you,
I'd cultivate a few new boy
friends.
The Washington times., 1937-12-06
GETS A DATE ANY TIME
HE ASKS FOR 1T
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
No question about our loving
each other intensely. Yet I
heard some rumors, which un-
expectedly got back to me, to
the effect that he had no inten-
tion of marrying me.
We don't go steady" but he
knows he can have a date any
time he asks me. Would it be
we'll to refuse him a few dates,
so he won't feel too sure of him
self? And yet I'm afraid, if I
do, he might not come back.
L. A.
Strategy is never certain,
either in love or war. The plan
ner of the campaign must take
a chance. A young man who is
never refused a date may get
too good an opinion of his
powers to charm, and seek the
society which has the spice Of
uncertainty.
To turn them down" occa-
sionally is considered good tac-
tics.

before the sun rose again.
And, so we are informed, it is
from the Mainbocher creations
that the lovely duchess most fire.
quently chooses her daily cos
tunes, for week in and week out
wear.
Beginning today we will show
on this page sketches from the
last Mainbocher collection,
sketches which have not ap-
peared before, and released ex-
clusively to this paper.
DIFFERENCE SHOWN
The main characteristic of
this collection is the pronounced
difference between the day
dresses and the evening dresses.
The day dresses are exceed
ingly simple in appearance. They
have distinction because they
have studied cut and invention.
Mainbocher believes that no
occasion justifies any one being
conSpicuously dressed in the day
time; therefore, many of the
day dresses have a silhouette of
the most attenuated simplicity.
They all bear close inspection as
to new cut and new detail.
Some of the evening dresses,
on the other hand, are meant
for special women for special oc-
caSions. But, as there are many
women in whose lives special oc-
casions come but rarely, there
are the usual dinner and evening
dresses that are meant to be-
come friends of their wearers,
helpful in line, practical and
easy to wear.
Many Of the coats have a new
Softness at the neckline through
padded and rolled treatment of
the fabric. The washable
bloUSes are important, also the
draped long knit sweaters, and
the varying length of the
jackets, there not being one
short hip-length jacket in the
whole collection. as in the last
seasons collection.
CHANGED SILHOUETTE
Mainbocher has developed the
long line, believing it to be the
most important movement to-
day. The use of pleated skirts
Set on at a low line not only
brings an intrinsic change to
the silhouette but is very
practical. The corseted trim
quality around the waist and
hips and upper thighs is pro
ncunced. Below that is the
sway and flare that is so young
anG! practical.
The multi-colored tulle dresses
are absolute bouquets of color.
They are the newest variations
Of the tulle dresses that are al
ways shown in Mainbocher col
lections, just as the uneven
frlnged dresses are new varia-
tionS of type of dress believed
by this designer to be absolute
classics essential to a smart
Wcman'S wardrobe.
AS for coIorS, first in i'm
portance is navy-blue. With the
exception of navy-blue, black,
grey and brown, all the other
cclors are garden colorG
