A Beauty
Pickup
For Fall
BY ELSIE PIERCE,

pERHAPS, like at least half the
world OF women. you are right
ready to say farewell to Summer "
just about this time Of the year,
those who have only feeting memo
ries left of an all-to-short. two weeks
vacation. suddenly begin to suffer
from the twixt-season doldrums.
In the Spring there's the famous
sulphur and molasses. and literally
or fguratively one takes a tonic,
does some Spring cleaning, falls in
love. reveE in the beauties Of Nature
and finds some excuse for being happy
and wanting to be beautiful. In the
Fall there are still the beauties OF
Nature-leaves changing to russet and
coppery tones, q serene sort Of beauty.
But swapping out of the doldrums
is just little harder. One has a
longer time to wait for next vaca-
ton "a thought which always serves
to perk one up, it seems to me-.
But. there are Fall tonics. The
proverbial new hat. for instance,
which they say Is enough to send
4 womans spirits soaring. The high
turban is climbing to dizzy heights
which should help the elated feeling
quite = bit
With the new hat I'd recommend
. new hairdo another tonic that
Is invariably successful.
I'd also recommend a visit to ones
favorite beauty salon the first day
back in town-yes, even before the
first item Of ones Fall wardrobe is
planned or purchased. A general
going over from head to fingertips
is the finest tonic of them all. Steal
from the Fall wardrobe budget if you
have to for just the one swell start"
visit. Or, If you really feel that
you cannot afford it, have a COM
plete secret session with beauty In
your own home. Devote several hours
or several evenings to the task Give
yourself the thorough sort Of sham
poo you haven't had since last Spring,
followed by a rinse, and set your own
hair. wearing 3 net over 1t and allow
ing 1t to dry naturally. Give your
self q facial molding and patting,
coaxing and soothing every inch of
the way. Finish with = good mani
cure.
A week of such beauty sessions
and I'm sure you'll ind renewed
interest and Sest in things. The
twixt season doldrums will be re-
placed by new season enthusiasm
and you'll hnd yourself facing the
new fashions with that much more
zest and loveliness.

support to the new city, 1t was not
surprising that they built houses
similar to the ones they had left.
There were many great homes, with
hundreds Of acres of titled land,
which bordered the Potomac all the
way to Great Falls. At Georgetown
and Alexandria were delightful town
houses. Some Of them have been re-
stored to their former glory. others
are still in ruins, but all of them have
had large part in determining a
distinctive type of house for this
Federal city.
Unlike the colonists farther north,
the early planters of the James River
country saw no reason to give up any
of the comforts and luXuries Of home
Fun loving and gay by inheritance
and upbrlnging, the vast fortune
which came from their thriving plan
tations made it possible for them to
reproduce in the new country all the
stately elegance of the England of that
period. Their tobacco wheat and
corn were traded in England and
Holland for silks, satins, brocades and
velvets, beautiful china and glass, and
furniture by the new maker. Thomas
Chlppendale. Marble from Italy
made the overmantels for their fire
places. and elaborate glass candelabra
from Ireland hung from the center OF
the spacious rooms. Much of the
wealth which came so easily was used
to embelllsh their great houses and
provide lavish hospitality for their
friends up and down the river.
A FEW OF these houses were made
OF stone, but when we think Of
Colonial Virginia We think of rosy
brick jutting through hipped roofs,
that we're made on the place, or near
by, by slaves under the direction OF
masons from England or Holland.
Nowhere In this country has there
been finer workmanship than the
brick masonry of Virginia. There was,
usually, large central structure two
and half stories high. When more
space was needed long wing was
built on one side for guest rooms or
offices. This was balanced on the
other side by wing for the kitchens
and pantries 50 that the odor and heat

AS we start inching over toward 4

OF our hostess 60 suddenly rigid. But
we think nothing Of it and inch right
along. And then, just as our hand
turns the doorknob, bingo!-out fall

always seems to think it was a skeleton

Parties for
"Teen-Age"
Children
Youngsters Should Be
Allowed to Attend
Chaperoned Dance.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

GIRLS OF l6 are old enough to
enjoy attending parties. They
are interested in boys and the boys
are not exsctly turning their backs
on the girls. This Is quite as it ought
to be, and there is no real reason
why the girls should not enjoy the
company of the boys at family dances,
their parents arrange for them. The
school dances are given under the
supervision of the teachers and GER
tainly there should be no reason for
the girls not attending them.
There is no fun in dancing with
another girl, or with another boy.
It must be boy and girl or it's no
good. We will acknowledge this and
80 justify the fears that some parents
hold. How do I know what goes on
at these dances? I've heard tales.
I'm responsible for my daughter, no.
body else, and I'm not going to take
any chances"
The chances are going to be taken
nevertheless because girls are girls
and boys are boys in their nature
and nothing anybody can do will
change that There is just as much
chance of a boy and girl mistake at
one hour Of the day as at another,
II that boy and girl are so minded.
The best insurance against such mis-
takes is education and training and
experience
This should begin early. Boys
and girls should be taught the simple
truths AS early as they indicate power
to accept them. Gradually this in
struction should be broadened until
by the time the young person is
matured he is in full possession OF
the facts Of life. The girls and boys
should work and play together so
that their experiences with each other
prepare them for the future expert
ences OF adolescence and maturity,
Ignorance is not innocence Parents
cannot discharge their obligations to
their children by keeping them IN
ignorance. That is the certain road
to failure.
When the 1s-yesr-old girl asks
to 60 to the dance with the hoy
friend the answer should be Yes. "
II the parent has neglected his duty
and so thinks that the child is too
ignorant OF the implications Of the
dance engagement too weak to sup
port herself. or himself. in the situa-
ton. that is too bad for him as well
as the child, and the thing to do is
to make good on the education and
training Of the child as soon as
possible and get out Of his way
Yes, such dances are to be chap
eroned. They are to be held under
conditions that will lead to courteous
observance of conventions. The rules
OF good manners are to be strictly
enforced, and the more formality about
them the better Beginners must al
ways hold strictly to the rules. There
is always right way and this is the
time to indicate it.
Prohibition will not work Don't
try 1t. A l6-year- r-old child is al
ready well on his way from home to
Heaven, the Heaven of self-drection.
self-help, self-expression and full
maturity.
