MOTHER TROUBLE

Dear Miss Fairfax:
1--WE both work in the same di-
vision of Government office, and
it was a case of love at first sight
with me. The young lady was
more SeIf-cOntained, and 1 angled
around quite a while before 1 got
the much-cOveted invitation to go
to her apartment for Sunday night
supper.
There 1 met her mamma. She
seemed almost as young as the
daughter.
81 invited the girl to 60 to an
expensive show the next week,
tickets $2.75. She accepted, but
said she thought her mother would
like to go too.
"This was a good deal of a shock,

WOMAN DISAPPEARS

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'VE met at q dance, and / had
no idea she was married. We
continued to meet for three
months, and still didn't find out
she was married.
1--WE used to go on moonlight
excursions and meet in a certain
park, and we were very happy.
Finally she told me her husband
was a good deal older and they
didn't get along very we'll to-
gether.
"She called me on the phone
one day when I was out and my
cousin answered the phone. I've
no idea what my cousin could
have said to her, but I've never
seen this lady since, and have
lost all trace of her.
"That is over two years ago.
Please don't think Pm a home
wrecker. I'm rs, and am very
honestly in love with this lady,
even after two years of separa-
ton. WONDERING"
Some things about this young
lady make me think she is I'M
worthy of the pedestal on which
you have put her-you see I
haven't given all of your letter.
I think if she had been entire
ly square with you, she would
have told you she was married,
before three months.
And why did you never know her
address when she seems to have
been available for moonlight ex-
cursions and all sorts of things
that would require long absences
from home and husband?
Your Unknown" has probably
left the city, or you would certain
ly have met her somewhere during
the two years you have been apart.
I hope you will try and take an
interest in someone else.
The Washington times., 1937-04-06

as you know, Government salaries
are not high. Still I was in love
with the girl and asked her
mother to go along.
This strange proposal cOntin-
ued, even after I dropped from
$2.75 shows to the movies. When
ever I went to call, mamma was
always there, and the only time 1
ever saw the girl without her moth
er was in the office and Of course
that didn't offer many chances of
making love.
Reluctantly I've come to the
conclusion that Pm being worked

a custom in Washington for young
ladies to invite their mothers to go
along when the boy friend pro-
poses a date? must say it's new

Jack c."
It is as new to me as. it is to you
that Washington girls expect to in
clude their mammas in their dates.
In fact all the correspondence I've
had via this column leads me to
the contrary belief.
If they do regard you as a small,
but profitable goldrmine, I'd lose
no time in changing their belief.

Beauty
Feet Demand
Attention
By DONNA GRACE

We hear so many complaints
of foot trouble now, even more
than the usual number we expect
at every change Of season. This,
we think, may be attributed to the
sudden change in temperature,
and of course to the usual cause
of ill-fitted shoes.
There is another cause, too,
and it is what one may call foot
temperament, for there is no
question that the feet can be
as temperamental as a petted
opera singer. We expect so much
of them and they serve as well
without much protect, but every
so often they seem to rebel in
no uncertain way.
TEMPERAMENTAL
Just now the main trouble
seems to be swollen, inflamed
condition which is always so dis
tressing. One woman writes she
is sure her feet are two sizes
larger than when she purchased
her new Easter shoes, and this,
we say, is the foot temperament
being expressed.
Humor your feet as much as
you can now, and you will have
more comfort when the warm
weather comes. The basis Of all
foot treatments should be clean
illness, and a good Scrubbing with
soap and warm water will fire.
quently relieve a painful condl-
ton.
The following will relieve the
swelling: Prepare a Foot bath OF
warm water, a pound Of EPSON
salts and half-cupful of plain salt.
It is not necessary to rub the
feet when they are soaking. After
10 minutes remove the from the
bath and dry them. Then apply a
busting powder.
When the temperature OF the
room is warm leave the feet bare
for a while and exercise them.
You will find the epson salts bath
will relieve the Inflammation and
swelling. Then to heal and Soothe
the skin massage them with cam
phor ice. Blend it well about the
base of the nail, and if the skin
is dry and chafed at the heels,
lanolin will lubricate it nicely.
FREEDOM
There are some very good foot
salves and liniments on the mar
ket that will relieve distress, too,
but keep the feet clean and smooth
and you will not suffer any dis
comfort.
We assume you are going to
have comfortable shoes and you
will find it real economy to have
several pairs so they may be
changed every day or so. Shoes
should support the instep and be
large enough at the toes to permit
frcc"~-'1 of movement.
1t is possible to keep the feet
comfortable with the right care

THERE is always something new
L in the way of table decorations,
and this week it is "Servaides,"
which are moisture proof doilieS
which are made of cellophane.
They ere not only an attractive
novelty, but they represent quite
a release from drudgery, as you
can wipe them off with a damp
cloth, and use them any number
Of times. If a wrinkle or crease
should appear, a warm iron will
press it right out. The doilies are
tiSsue-thin, but do not tear, nor
do their edges roll, for they have
a curl-proof finish. There are sew
eral patterns to select from, floral,
classic or modern, and they come
in the smartest colors-red. yellow,
silver, gold and white, or blue.
There are effects that it has never
been possible to attain in table
decorations before. There are sew
eral sizes in each pattern, and
both round and oblong doilieS,
servers and place mats. There are
paper napkins to match the pat
terms. But see for yourself-for
they are being specially demon
strated in a downtown store this
week and next. Prices can't be
quoted, for there are too many OF
them, but the prices are low.

There are many simple sauces
that every cook can add to her
recipe files. The sauce in most in
stances is really simple to make.
For vegetables, the Hollandaise
sauce or a burnt butter sauce is
delicious. The burnt butter sauce
Is made by letting butter turn
golden brown, then adding vinegar
to it and salt before serving over
the vegetables.
The sauce used for fish really
makes the dish very tasty and
changes the flavor to please imagi-
nation and palate. The sauces
used for fish must be tart. Lemon
juice, chopped pickles, mustard,
horseradish, and Worcestershire
sauce add the spicy flavor needed.
In many French sauces white
wine is used in preparation
Color has much to do with the
appeal of the sauce. In the Span
ish sauce featured today, chopped
whole canned tomatoes add the
vivid color for an audaciouS ap-
pearing sauce. In the piquant
sauce. pureed pimentoeS add the
color. notes. These would both be
perfect served with baked stuffed
fish.
Mustard sauce served over baked
mackerel contrasts well with the
flavor.
Tartar sauce is the usual &C.
compartment with baked or sau-
teed halibut. For q change use
a tart chopped sweet pickle sauce
baked between two filetS Of the
halibut. The spicy flavor will
bring regrets that you have never
tried this before.

Your Spring Calot


THERE'S a new word In the
l. millinery world this spring,
and it is quite possible that in
time it may become as lmpor-
tant a word as beret-for 1t is
starting in much the same way.
This word is calot, an d 1t
means, as far as l can gather, a
skull cap. It's the term applied
to all those tiny caps, perfectly
tight and close to the head,
which are worn back on the
head, back beyond the hairline.
The calot was originally a little
plain felt thing, and it came in
only one color, black with red
or navy with red, I've forgotten
which. 1t was worn by everyone
in Paris, and then it began to
trickle through America. Final
" the French milliners began
making the shape in other ma
terials and colors, and trim
ming it, so now the term calot
is applied to any of the tight
little back-on-the-head hats,
trimmed or not. The calot is
considerably easier to wear
than the beret was when it first
came out, so why shouldn't it
become just as famous2
