Case OF love dL 1lrSI S1SuL'
"In spite of this we distrusted
our feelings, and have waited two
years, to see if it was the real
things or just a case of fascina-
ton.
"Pd quit my job and marry now,
but see so many middle-aged peO-
pie who just seem to tolerate each
other, that l would hate to reduce
our beautiful love to anything as
commonplace as these married peO-
pie seem to have made of their
lives together. Why doesn't real
love last? IRENE.
It's all part of Natures plot to
introduce these raptures in the
first love. But you will find that
young married couples quarrel as
fiercely as middle-aged married
partners. Nature has way OF
substituting a fine comradeShip,
which is far more durable than
these first raptures. It's not at all
commonplace. as young people,
deeply in love, seem to think.
If you marry this young man, I
wish you no better fate than that
you should experience this COM
panionShip in your middle years.

LEAVING THE TABLE

Dear Mrs. BeeCkman:
"HOw long should hostess sit
after a meal is finished? We had
dinner the other evening at a
friends home and she remained
at the table for more than an
hour after we all had finished.
We considered it very tireSOme
and quite unusual. "F."
There isn't any rule about how
long guests remain at table after
dinner. Some hoSteSSeS rush
their guests away from the table
as soon as dessert is over-eSpe'
cially if there are post-dinner en-
tertainment plans, such as the
theater or movies or bridge. And
then sometimes when the ConVer-
SatiOn is especially interesting
and the talk-items go charmingly
along some hoSteSSes sense that
an interruption would not be wei
come and the stay at table is de-
lightfully prolonged.
This longer stay is not "un-
usual" but it definitely should
not be "tireSome." A perfect
hostess would sense this tiresome-
ness and would end her dinner
that is. ii she felt that all or
the majority of the guests were
bored.
However, people who don't espe-
cially enjoy talking about this and
that" who wish to do sometime"
rather than to talk something, "
would not, of course, enjoy the
prolonged dinner period, while
other guests to 'vhom the art of
conversation is a fine and thrilling
art, would yearn to talk rather
than to rush to the bridge table.
One never can tell!

STYLES

Hiding away from the sun causes
many women to prefer brimmed
hats for southern wear. A charm.
ing model in dusty pink felt has
a flattering dripping brim and a
moderately high crown with ears
of matching betting ribbon for ad.
ditional height. The betting rib
bon is used as a crown band, too.
No matter how many other fash
ions there may be for coats de-
signed for Southern wear, first
favorite will always be the loose
coat of fine white Woolen in plain
or novelty weave with generous
collar of snow fox. Such a coat
made for the new season shows
novelty in the form of a white
fox head on each of the pockets.

NEEDS RESPITE
Dear Miss Fairfax:

"When he came to see me only
once a week, l used to count the
days, and when he came to see
me twice a week, was very
happy, but now that he insists
upon spending every evening with
me, I'm bored to tears. Not that
he's a chair warmer because he
takes me to the movies, theaters,
restaurants, dances.
Il just don't seem to be able
to get away from him. 1 feel like
something in a cage. He calls me
up early in the morning, and if
l say have an engagement for
that evening, he pops in before the
hour stated.
"He meets me outside of my
office and insists upon walking
home with me. He sends me
flOwers-I hate them. Short of
moving to another city, or having
him bound over to keep the peace,
l don't know what to do about
this permanent pest. Do you?
FRANTIC"
Before attempting to answer
this correspondents letter, let me
hope that it may serve as a warn
ing to such men as never believe
in letting a girl have an eve
ming off.
And as for the young lady her
self, don't see why she does not
apply the remedy known as a
straight talk" Be less vehement
than the tone you have taken to
me, but say to the young man
that, to be really appreciated, be
must let you have a little more
time between visits.
An egoist, who imagines a girl
can put up with his society every
evening in the week, must be
pretty thick-Skinned.

Story of Hands

--NN--N
66VOUR hands tell a story
L about you. In every
movement, every touch, they
reveal the kind of person you
are-yOur background, your
desires, your age. Be clever
about your hands. Treat them
intelligently. 1t matters little
whether they are large or
small, plump or slender; they
must be soft, white, plant, ex-
quisitely groomed." " SO writes

table?
What are the duties of the

when and how should the

distributed? Is it proper to set

"After the bride cuts the first

"Must the members of the wed
ding party, including myself, wear
hats at the dinner which will be
held, not at home, but in small
private dining room? cd"
First in your reception line
should be your mother, who, as
hostess, receives the guests. Then
it would be gracious to have the
family friend who is to present
you in marriage, and next to him,
his wife. You don't mention hav'
ing the groom's mother and
father; but if they are to be pres
ent, or if any member Of his
family is to be present in their
stead, the parents or the other
family-member would stand next.
Then the groom, then you, at the
groom'S right and at your right,
your matron of honor. The best
man and his wife would not be
in the receiving line.
If you are to have one table, as
I take for granted, you and your
groom would sit at one end of the
table, side by side, you at the

table would be your mother, and
at her right, the clergyman, if he
is to be present. If neither is to
be present, then perhaps the
family friend who is presenting
you in marriage. Other relatives
and friends are seated according
to cloSenesS of family connection
and to congeniality.

some diamond ring for engage

But remembering the old
superstition, 1 told him I'd rather
not have it. He seemed to be
offended, and now 1 don't know
whether I'll get my diamond after
all. WORRIED"
Well, my dear, I think the per-
son who started the fiction about
that particular superstition must
have been very thrifty indeed, and
was trying to get two or three
presents instead of one.
Please let me say, from much
experience in answering letters to
this column, that I think it is more
lucky to get an engagement ring
on birthday, Christmas or any
other anniversary, than to get no
engagement ring at all.
Don't listen to these silly super
stitions. Take the ring and be
thankful.

This delicious hot bread can be
served either for breakfast, for
luncheon or for parties. Since a
boiled cuStard filling is used, 5he
rolls should be served cold not too
long after they have been pre-
pared.
Compressed yeast should be
used in preparing them. A suffI-
cient quantity has been used to
make them rise sufficiently in
three hours. If more time is avail
able for preparing them, then use
less yeast. If they are to rise in
about five hours. use only one-half
cake of yeast.
Choose bread flour of excellent
grade. Be sure that the rolls are
kneaded sufficiently before thav
are allowed to rise. If desired,
some of the dough can be saved
back for hot rolls in the morning.
In this case place rolls in a pan,
cover with WaXed paper and leave
overnight in the refrigerator. Al.
low about 20 minutes for the rolls
to rise in the morning.
The honey nut topping for
these rolls is baked with the
dough. If an additional topping
of flaked sugar is desired, then
make a thick syrup by boiling l
cup of granulated sugar with u
cup of water until the syrup
formed spins a thread when
tested with a spoon. Brush the
rolls with this syrup just before
taking them from the oven.
This allows the sugar to flake
on the rolls. The additional bak.
ing process will take only about
three minutes.

PERFECTLY WILLING
Dear Miss Fairfax:

"Dear Miss Fairfax:
1.-TWO or three times I've hap
pened to read in your column,
walls from young men, because
self-suppOrting girls have wanted
to pay their half toward the ex-
penses of an EVENINGS outiHF. I
take it these lads are from the
chivaIry belt, where they still kiss
ladies' hands and surround them
with something they call luster.
By the way, what is luSter?
"NOt so with me. When l take
a dame out 1 am willing, even
anxious, to have her pay half the
tariff; in fact, if she doesn't sug-
gest something along that line, l
never take her out again.
"BARKIS."
The French have a saying
each to his taste" And if the
girls are willing to accept you on
these terms, doubtless you're able
to put many a stray quarter in
the little bank, which I'm sure
you keep in your top bureau
drawer. But please remember
that here in Washington we're
pretty close to the chivalry belt.
And men are glad to pay the
entire tariff for an evenings out
ing.
