NEW bathing suits for this new
IN resort season are so differ
ent from those of last summer,
that you must surely have a new
one, if you want to make grand
appearance on the beach. Even
the simple lastex suits that we've
learned to love, are now meshy,
woven in lacey effects or in sim
pie mesh that looks knitted, and
so on. ColorS are marvellous, and
Weaves are as varied. There's not
much more to the suits than is
necessary, yet they are smart and
adequate and so beguiling in
the designs and colorS that you'll
want lone of each" Prints are
ultra smart, and the printed suit
that we think is tops" is a printed
Satin-almoSt looks like the grand
hand blocked satinS that dresses
are made of for the tea and cock
tail hour. It's a lasteX, of course.
Almost as grand-perhapS really
as attractive, is silk jersey swim
suit, which we've had sketched to-
day. It's in the gayest Colors you've
ever seen, soft and lovely, but
multi-colored and gay, and the suit
is made with the new Shirred
front. it has deep cut back, clear
buttons, and is lined in white wool
jersey for practically. It's $12.95.

Etiquette
"Dear Miss Beeckman:

81 am to be married soon. My
husband-tO-be and 1 are both
Catholics. One of the girls 1 wish
to have in my wedding professional
is a Protestant.
Does that make any difference
in a Catholic wedding? Would it
be better to have a Catholic girl
in her place? READER"
The wise thing for you to do Is
to consult with the priest who is
going to perform your marriage
ceremony. He will advise you
about this according to the die
tates of his church.

pertaining to sex.
"In college 1 specialized in
social science, and after my own
marriage went on the rocks, i be-
came q policeman, thinking that
I could do more good in that
capacity than In any other.
"FOr three years / saw life in
the raw, and take 1t from me,
men are more sinned than sim
ming.
"Why does q woman who In
tenSifies her sex attractions to
the last degree, spending hours
in a beauty parlOr to charm some
silly man away from his wife,
proceed to raise Cain when an
other woman gets him away from
her.
GAME OF TAKE
"That was my story. My friend
took my husband. Her friend
took him from her.
"Y0u may think my reaction
toward women is born of bitter
ness and my own personal ex-
perience. But that is not the
case.
Gas I grow older, 1 become more
and more tolerant of the weak
nesSeS of my kind, and would not
think Of judging them harShly
any more than 1 would judge the
moral standards of monkeys in
the jungle.
"TO go back a little. When my
best friend took my husband from
me, was happy with him for two
years, and then had my expert
ence at the hands of another
woman-tO whom did she come
for comfort?
"TO none other than her old
friend, the wife whose home she
has broken. She told me she know
now how I must have felt about
her, and she was truly sorry and
begged for forgiveness.
NOTHING TO FORGIVE
"By that time 1 had nothing
to forgive. I had found my niche
in the world, had the complete
custody and love of my two chill
dren.
Sand if my home had not been
broken, and 1 had not been put
on my own rnettle, my life would
have been less rich than it has
BEEN"
HAPPY BUT DISILLUSIONED."
Reluctantly one is forced to
agree with some of the things
my correspondent has said. Still,
it's not the whole story. There
are, unfortunately, flagrant ex-
ampleS of women who snatch other
women'S husbands, yet regard
themselves as robbed when these
men are Snatched from them.
These ladies are thirty-third de-
gree sirens, with whom sex is the
whole story. Their clothes shrek
sex appeal, one is always acutely
aware Of their femininity. And
yet they are apt to be such poor
sports as to cry "Stop, thief"
when some other woman robS
them of their temporary fateS.
CASE OF VANITY
It is not lost love that makes
them cry aloud; just little pri-
vate matter of vanity. If her
feminine wiles and magic have
failed before a more potent kind,
the siren begins to lose faith in
herself and her power to charm.
And that's where the real hurt
comes in.
She lacks the wisdom to see
that a man who can be WhiStled
away from a temporary fate. She
expects her kidnapped prize 70
be absolutely loyal and faithful.
When he StrayS, he is a baron.
eter which shows the world her
powers to attract are falling.
AS for the men, there is some
thing in what this ex-policewoman
says, and one feels like beSpeak
ing the prayers Of the faithful
Tor creatures so easily led.

ice Fairfax Says Love Sirens Are Very Poor Losers
Beauty
Enjoy Dainty
Hands
BY DONNA GRACE

Have you ever noticed the
hands of professional pianists,
ard how proudly they hold them,
using them with fine unconscious
ness of movement to express their
ideas and individuality?
They are often times large
hands, and whatever vanity that
can be noticed is not concerned
with their shape, but with their
deIicacy of touch and their
strength.
This delicacy tells of perfect
grooming, first of all. of vigorous
massage and knuckle exercises.
They are dignified by the careful
attention that is given at all
times.
To be hand-conScious is to be
truly wretched when appearing
formally, and something can be
done about it, no matter what in
spires this hammered defect.
Hands should be made to serve
along the road to beauty, and
when your hands are perfectly
groon1ed, they do exactly that.
MANICURING
Learn to do your own manicur-
ing by having it done whenever
some problem arises, if it is only
a hang nail, by one of the special
lists in the art and take notes on
what is needed and how it is
handled.
If you want your fingers to
taper more, press the ends gen.
tly but ever so often, and flutter
the fingers in the air to make
them timber. A little hand mold
ing now and then helps awkward
knuckleS and makes them supple.
One of the finest problems con-
Germs the finger nail cuticle and
what can be done to keep it in
bonds without resorting to repair
work, after the skin has rough
ened, broken and ruined the
beauty of perfect finger nail.
Keep the skin softened by the
use. of olive oil, or by rubbing
with heavy cream every night.
Once a week is not too often to
soak the finger tips in hot olive
oil, to loosen the cuticle at the
base of the nails. When you
scrub the hands with warm suds
the next day, use a soft nail
brush and press the skin back
with a cotton.tipped orangeWood
stick.
FINGERTIPS
During the beautifying half
hour at. bedtime, save a few Spe-
cial minutes for this last opera
ton, for it is most important if we
avoid roughened fingertips. When
nails are rigid or brittle, special
oil treatments are advised, and a
milk diet is found to contribute
to their we'll being.
Polish remover should be used
with a carefully growing tech
nique, for when the polish is often
removed, the fingernails are given
a breathing respite, and it is
pretty certain that the next ap-
plication of this exotic decoration
will be better than the last.
When possible, have several
bottles of polish, since the color
scheme of each frock should be
considered. Certainly frockS OF
pastel shades-coral and rose
are worn more than those of the
brilliant cherry red, so popular
during the last year.
Brilliant tints are no longer so
fashionable, for on short Stubby
hands, with their accompanying
short, stubby nails, the effects are
| far from desirable, and the test
to the more perfect fingers, is
| coIyoro

Neatest of the Week!

NC0GSob VA buV "CSns
THE "Neatest Trick of tht
l. Week." as the New Yorker
would put it, is a dress, accord
ing to our findings. 1t can be
worn five different ways,
which makes quite few
changes, especially for a fairly
inexpensive dress, and this one
is $1O.95. It's of black, navy
or brown crepe, with a re-
versible bolero, plain color on
one side and printed on the
other, and with a gilet or vest,
which may be worn in three
ways, so that with the various
changes of bolero and gilet,
you have quite a few combina-
tions, quite few different ef-
fects. The printed gilet may
be clipped at the neckline and
tied around the waist, may be
worn as a sash and peplum
about the waist, or may be
worn with the wider part about
the neck, making a sort of cowl
effect. And then you can wear
it as a turban if you wish, for
the dress is complete without
it. All of this, with diversity
for every work day in the
week, for just $10.95.

Nordhoust, who was 20 yesterday,

"UItimate Usefulness" 0
DirigibIes Is Cited
bV Roper.

Declaring belief in the ultimate
usefulness Of the airship, especially
in long-range water transportation
service, Secretary Of Commerce Roper
has announced that the Commerce
Department now is "at the point Of
giving more definite study to lighter
than-air possibilities"
Even as he spoke Commerce De-
partment board of inquiry was meet
ing at the Lakehurst Naval Air Sta
ton Investigating the disaster to the
H1ndenburg, which Commerce De-
partment officials hold would not have
occurred had the ship been inflated
with helium.
"As distressing as the Hindenburg
disaster was" Roper said, I'VE must
not be discouraged or preudiced but
continue study Of the field. We must
recognize as significant the record
made by lighter than-air craft in
carrying thousands of passengers in
repeated trips without accident across
the seas"
Much thought must be given es-
pecially to the advantages and dis
advantages of helium over hydrogen
in dirigible operations, Roper said.
Personally" he explained, Il feel
that some well guarded plan will be
worked out whereby helium gas from
our reserves can be made available for
world commercial needs without of
course any sacrifice of our peace
policy"
At the same time, Col Robert E.
Ebert, chairman OF the Air Commerce
Planning Committee Of the Business
Advisory Council, explained that his
committee has held a special meeting
since the Hindenburg disaster and has
drafted a report which will be sub
mitted to President Roosevelt. The
committee last July made report in
which 1t recommended dirigible de-
velopment for the United States.
While he would not discuss the Hin
denburg report, he indicated that the
committees belief in the possibilities
Of the airship has not been shaken by
the accident.
