II. can't make up my mind
whether it's true love or not. He
is the first man I've ever had
dates with.
He'd like us to be married in
the spring. think it would be
better to wait while, and for me
to go round with different boys
and see something more of life
before 1 settle down. His age is
another worry to me. Could ! be
happy in future years, married to
a man so much older?
IF give him up, he threatens
to take his life. My people do not
like the idea of his coming to
see me so often. &c. M. c."
You're very wise to weigh your
chances of happiness with a man
20 years older than you are. Such
marriages have been conspicu-
ouSly happy, but usually the man
is SO brilliant that the question
of his age is overlooked. De Les
SupS, the French engineer, mar
ried, as his second wife, a girl
much younger than his older son
by a previous marriage.
1 could give you dozen such
instances, but not every man who
falls in love with a girl 20 years
younger is genius.
Before considering marriage, it
would be well to know few more
men and boys.

There is, of course, a trend in
the style to natural and un-
adorned coloring that means we
will wear makeup as we always
have done but we are going to be
more clever about its application.
There are few girls, indeed, who
look their best without makeup.
We may not care to use rouge, but
who can really feel dressed without
the smooth, flattering effect of a
nice face powder? And the lipstick,
too, will improve every one.
Eye makeup may be a matter
of choice, but the rule is to use
mascara always when the brows
are a match or a tone lighter than
the hair. The lashes should be
darker than the brows.
Cosmetics are accessible to every
one at a fair price, so there is
really no excuse for the girl whose
skin is inclined to oilineSs to pre-
sent herself under such a beauty
handicap. She is the type who
needs to depend on soap and water
cleansing, and it is advisable TO
have a good astringent for daily
use. The home woman has these
aids at hand, and there is no diff
ficulty in keeping the face nice
at all times.
There are. a few business girls
who do not have their desk beauty
case without a full beauty equip
ment, and they find it not only
keeps them loking fresh and at
tractive, but it gives them a sense
of assurance and poise that makes
them so charming.
The business girl, while seeking
position, realizes the value OF
experience In business" but she
must also learn that there is a

Etiquette
ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
BRIDES COSTUME

-
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 am to be married in the rec
tory at $3.50 in the evening. l am
planning to wear a SemifOrmal
wine:UolOred velvet dress with sill
yer slippers. 1 had difficulty in
selecting my hat. Finally l chose
a wine-cOlOred hat with a veil of
the same shade. The veil covers
the entire face.
"A friend of mine tells me that
a veil on this color hat should not
cover the face. Would you please
tell me if she is correct, and If so,
could / throw the veil back from
my face during the ceremony?
"WOuld you also please tell me
If the flowers 1 wear should be a
cOrsage, or would it be all right
for me to carry flowers? If it is
correct to carry flowers, would you
give me some suggestions as to
what kind l should carry?
"ELIZABETH."
At a six-thirty wedding it would
be much better taste for you not
to wear a veil on your hat, GER
tainly not to wear a veil that
covers your face. If you must
wear the veil, have it adjusted so
that just the edge of the veil comes
down over the edge of the hat.
Either a corSage or an arm
bouquet is correct j.. . it is for you
to choose which you prefer. Vel
low roses, Talisman roses, or
pink roses would be lovely with
your wine-colored dress, or light
colored African daises combined
with yellow roses would be ef-
fective too. You can buy African
daises that Subtly combine shades
of dark red,

6(THIS is the best-known
i and loved cream in our
line" said the representative
proudly to me, as she told me
about a special dry-skin mix
ture which is being offered at
a special price this week-and
at a timely moment, for this IS
the season when you need
something special to combat
dryness in your complexion.
This cream is called a perfect
cream for dry skins, for soften
ing and lubricating. and for
night use. 1t gives the skin a
rich fabrication, fortifying it
against wrinkles. 1t is specially
blended from oils and unguents
of proven emollient efficiency.
It. is very softening and smooth
ing to skins that tend to parch
and flake and wrinkle. 1t is
family sweet in odor, is pleas
ant to use, and will do wonders
to erase the lines from your
face, provided you have them
already-and to prevent them
If you haven't them. Just this
week, it is being offered in a
couple of local stores at 81 for
the regular $2.25-size jar.
That's quite saving, and this
is the time of the year that you
should use it, even if you do
not need it at other times. The
offer is only through the
twenty-third of this month.

The same sandwiches, fruit, ano'
beverages are the result and from
what I hear it is rather hard for
the victims to survive such
steady bill of fare.
The new prescription begins
with a new outlook. Instead OF
If it must be DONE" consider that
lunches also can be something
swell-elegent that will provide a
pleasant surprise to those forced
to eat away from home at mid
day.
There can be chocolate cake as
only you can make it. but there
also can be a new kind of chiffon
pie occasionally or a mixed fruit
salad with lots Of colorful fruits
and perhaps a flavor of mint from
dissolved peppermintS.
VARIETY
The school lunch primarily
should be planned from dietetic
viewpoint. Children need certain
types of food in order to make
their days dietary well balanced.
But they enjoy, too, having the
foods good for them made tasty
and delicious.
Variety in the preparation of
the foods will help. If eggs are in
cluded then let them be sliced on
one day, served as egg salad the
next, then in custard or sponge
cake.
AS a general rule, the lunch FOR
the morrow is prepared from the
foods on hand from tonight's din
ner. The cold slice of lamb is pre-
pared into a sandwich filling, the
apple baked with cinnamon or
made into dumplings, and the LETT
over vegetables made into chow
ders or cream vegetable soups.
The stores have many new
types of prepared foods that are
grand for the lunch box. The
canned soups are delicious.
Here are some menus that will
offer suggestions:

HERE'S a novelty that has its
IL uSeS-a transparent hat box,
such as the people in New York
have been raving about. Hats
that live in transparent boxes can
easily be identified, and besides
that, they keep clean and fresh,
just as if you had them swathed
In tissue paper. You no longer
have to lift down all the boxes
to find out which holds your blue
or your green hat. just house it
in one of these transparent boxes,
and keep an eye on it. The boxes
are sturdily reinforced on top and
bottom edges, and are trimmed in
green, brown, peach or blue. An
array of them on your closet shelf
will lend color to your closet. They
are priced 81 each.

"A often hard to keep the skin
on your body from chapping, from
getting rough from cold and the
wOOlenS that we wear. Such spots
as the backs of your feet, just
above the heel, get rough and
sometimes even flake or peel, from
the weather. So something had
to be done about it. One good
thing is a new preparation, by a
well known house, that is called
simply Body OIL" and it is for
maintaining a satiny skin in win
ter. 1t is to be used on the areas
that feel dry or rough. 1t main
tainS the proper balance of oils in
the skin, and keeps the texture
normal and smooth. It's pleasant

have. It costs 81 FOR a generous

SUSPECTS MOTIVE
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
ITO be perfectly frank with you,
Marian is a good many steps
above me on the social ladder. 1
went to school with her, and we've
always had a stOp-and-chat &C
quaintance. But 1 was never in
vited to her house.
"She became engaged to a fel-
low of her own class. They quar-
relied and broke up. Then Marian
began inviting me to her home
and taking me out with her.
II was fIattered, and naturally
1 fell in love. She made it plain
she would be willing to marry me,
if we were married Immediately.
Still, doubt if she loves me. She
has kept all the other fellows let
terS, talks of him a great deal of
the time, has his picture on her
desk, and pumps me as to the
girls e"gOes with.
while I'm in love with this
girl, I hesitate about marrying
her, If her idea is only to spite
someone else.
SECOND FIDDLE"
1t must be a pretty unSatisfac-
tory sort of an engagement when
girl keeps the old fiance's pic
ture on her desk, weeps about him
and tries to pump you about his
girl friends.
It seems to me that in your
place I'd decline the honor of be-
ing engaged to this young lady.
But why be so humble and talk
about people above you on the
social ladder?
Your letter was intelligent and
witty. I only wish I could have

Poor's Reports Seasonal Declines
: Only Moderate as Output
Holds High Levels.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 2l.-Furthel
recovery Of business volume over the
near term Is forecast by Poor's Stock
Reports. The majority OF lines Of
activity experienced Only moderate
seasonal recession during the Sum-
mer, and production continues at .
high level in anticipation Of . strong
consumer demand.
Producers OF steel, lumber, and in
dustrial machinery have continued at
. high rate of output in excess of new
business, thus showing optimism In
regard to the buying trend in the near
future
Demand from the automobile In
dustry is beginning to make itself
felt again In the steel industry" con-
tinues the report.
Production of automobiles dur
ing the coming year should continue
at levels about the same as those en-
joyed during the current year. The
trend toward higher prices for 1888
models indicates wider profit margins
for automobile manufacturers and
flrmness Of price structures for prod
ucts and raw materials used in this
industry.
Furthermore, labor conditions
should continue improved during the
next few months. Textiles remain in
a somewhat less favorable position,
due to weakness in the cotton market.
Further expansion in the demand for
bank credit is expected. continuing a
trend which has been conspicuous
since the first of the year"
