home fires burning" Good homes
and good husbands are worth con-
Sidering.
1T TAKES TIME
Dear Miss Fairfax:
"I've noticed in your column
that good many people ask you
why men pick beautiful but
dumb girls, and let the bright
ones alone. / came to this city
from a town where, even though
Pm not good looking, 1 had lots
of friends and was considered a
good sport by all of them. / dance,
hike, drive and play tennis-hut
how to get acquainted in a
strange city Stumps me.
Zone can't very well go down
the street shouting that, in spite
Of looks, she's a regular girl.
What can a hOmely and intelligent
girl do? LONELY"
Plants, even under the most
favorable conditions, take time to
make roots, and girls in a strange
city take a longer time than plants,
if they want to flourish in a good
garden. There is positively no
way for a mice" girl coming to a
strange city, without letters of in
PRODUCTION, to be taken up by the
right sort of people in a week or
two.
If anyone in your home town is
acquainted in the city of your
adoption, lose no time in asking
for letters of introduction. Ac-
quaintances made through friends
are always safe, because they carry
a degree of responsibility.
Every city and town in these
United States takes into account
the plight of the lonely girl, and
tries to have her E.eet people. All
churches have some organization
with such objects in mind, so even
if you're not q member Of any
church, look around and see what
the various churches have to offer
in the way of social life.
There are also bowling clubs,
hiking clubs, dramatic clubs, book
clubs and debating societies. In
all Of these places, girls can make
friends. Read the club notices in
the paper through which you have
written to me, and good luck to
you.

FOR REMUNERATION

III AVE you used Rejuvenes-
IL cence Cream? We've writ
ten about it before, but at its
usual price of $40. You may
be one of the many people who
have discovered it already, and
have found its great benefits.
1t is a scientific compound
which supplies the skin with
the precious elements essential
to young skins. 1t will really
do wonders for a skin either
young or not in removing
wrinkles, smoothing out the
look of care, and giving an i'm
mediate bloom as of youth. The
skin absorbs it Immediately,
leaving no greasy film on the
surface. 1t is best used in the
morning, after cleansing and
Lonlng, ana IL gives Sucn
wonderful surface that no
foundation for makeup is
necessary. Its basic elements
penetrate to the derma vera,
or true skin, and revivify the
tissues, giving new life and
vitality. To get back to the
price, and why we repeat it's
story now, there is a $3.50 size
jar on the market-small be-
cause it is so precious, and for
this week, that little jar will
be offered for 81. Be sure to
take advantage of this offer!

They were the favorites in the
ZOOS" for that vague purpose OF
thinning the blood" That was at
the time when the first warm,
sunny afternoon would find house
wives out with baskets searching
for well-chosen mess of green's"
Most Of the good citizens in
those days felt duty-bound to have
their own rhubarb. The tender
pink stalks were protected, so that
long before other garden stuffs
would be ready these stalks would
be large enough to eat. Delicious
it was, too, stewed or made into a
pie. The tender skin tinged with
color make it an attractive dish.
For many weeks, rhubarb, just
as tender and delicately favored,
will be featured on the local
markets. Every menu planner will
want to include it on the menu
at some time.
If simple dishes are desired,
then the stewed rhubarb or baked
rhubarb is the ticket. These are
prepared with q minimum Of ef-
fort. The tender stalks need only
be washed and diced.
Unless the skin is "Stringy" it
need not be peeled off. Use sugar
in the proportion of one to two
and cook with only a few table
spoons of water on top Of the stove.
Spices can be used to give addi-
tional flavor.
For more elaborate dishes, try
these recipes. You will find them
popular on spring menus.

"Indiscreet" Cologne

no you know Lelong's "Indis-
~ cret" perfume? It's one of the
spiciest, most sophisticated fra
grances that is available. It is
sweet, but not at all cloying and
heavy, spicy but not too "fruity," "
exciting without being vulgar-in
fact everything that a woman of
sophistication wants in a perfume
for use every day-of which she
will not tire. Now there's a
matching eau de cologne. This
new cologne has exactly the same
fragrance, and is put up in about
the most beautiful bottle we've
Seen-white composition on glass,
which gives it a look of fine
plaster. It's shaped like a long
necked water bottle, and is elabo-
rately covered with flowers and
sprays. The whole is in one Of the
smart white boxes that Lelong al
ways uses. 1t is $3.75.

SHOWERS

''Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"My daughter is to be married
in the fall. How soon is it proper
to have showers for her?
"Can a grandmother, who lives
at the brides home, have q shower
for her?
''IS it proper not to announce
an engagement and to announce
Just the wedding afterwards? j."
Bridal showers are usually given
in the few weeks previous to the
wedding, when the festive wedding
spirit is in the air.
I agree with the people who hold
that it is inappropriate for close
relative Of the bride-elect or Of the
groom-elect to give a bridal shower.
To me it Smacks too much Of a
planned promotion"
Yes.

History Made
The Democratic conference
made history. 1t was one in which
there were no nominations for the
leadership, since every Democrat
knew only Harrison and Barley
aspired for the leadership. AS the
session was called to order by
Senator Black CD of Alabama,
Party Secretary, Senator Connal-
ly CD of Texas, announced the
Mississippi and Kentucky Sena-
tors alone were candidates for the
high party office.
Then the balloting started. It
was secret and its secrecy was
blamed by Harrison's followers
for his defeat. Just prior to the
election, they announced Harri-
son had been pledged Al votes,
more than enough to win.
One dramatic note was given
the session when Senator Hayden
CD Of Arizona appeared. He
arose from a sick bed in the naval
hospital here to support Harrison.
He was pale, wan and obviously
i'll. He rested a while in a nearby
room and entered the caucus
only after the voting started. His
ballot made the outcome close,
but failed to return Harrison a
winner.
