Increasingly
Important
Problem
Impossible to Have
Glamour Without
Good Grooming.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

TINE was when it was first above
all. But time changes. And
beauty standards with it. Now good
grooming is not enough. 1t is merely
the basis upon which we build
glamour. Paradoxically, though. be-
cause good grooming is not enough.
it becomes increasingly important.
For without it, the whole structure
collapses. You cannot have glamour
without perfect grooming, just as you
can't have beauty without health.
"a very complete bulletin called
Good Grooming" may be had for a
self-addressed, stamped (3-cenD en-
velope-if you will write (care of this
paper for it, mentioning it by name)
From the crown of the head, then,
to the tip of the toes, look to the
details that make you look well
turned out. Whatever the style of
your coiffure. it is at its best only
when it is "in place" Do you know
that the French translation of our
permanent wave is: Put in place."
Of course, no coiffure shows off to
advantage unless the hair is scrupu-
lously clean, brushed and polished so
that its color and highlights accent
the coiffure itself.
No matter what your makeup, the
skin it enhances must be flawless,
properly cleansed and toned and pre-
pared" for that makeup with good
foundation cream.
The figure. comes in for the lions
share in the beauty scheme. 1t takes
lot of weight watching and exer-
cising to keep the figure we'll propor-
toned. The lines of ones clothes
can help or hinder, accentuate or
disguise, as the case may need. Then,
of course, the matter of keeping
clothes clean, unwrinkled, in repair
all these things are details of
good grooming. Little lingerie touches
that are white to begin with must
remain snow white all the time, even
If they have to spend half their lives
at the cleaners.
Stocking seams straight if you
feel like struggling your shoulders and
saying "piffle that's taken for
granted" just look at some of the
stocking seams. and on well-dressed
women, too. Another detail +. run
down heels. If yours run down
readily perhaps you are not wearing
the proper shoes, perhaps your posture
is at fault, but in any case keep the
heels in repair while you're sleuth-
ing as to the reasons why and where
fore.
Details of daintiness we take for
granted. They are SO important that
one cannot hope to- be well groomed
or glamorous without attention to
them.

greatest gesture of piling up look
fabrics that say fabulous with every
eleam of color that shoots out from
a weave of metal yarns or superb
silk brocades. Whether it is the fam
boyance of fireworks or the deep
brilliance of stained glass windows,
the colors of these fabrics have an
Illuminated quality that is one of the

So we are ready for such master
pieces as the hooded coat of velvet
shown here in its color of deep dregs
of wine with facings and Innings of
rich olive green, so dramatic over the
classical gold lame gown. The white

full at the shoulders, or they may be

the wrist, or again there may be a
smooth shoulder line from which the
sleeve hangs straight, to widen out at
the hand. All are good, and yet,

Concerning
A Hostess
Eldest of Three
Sisters Sits at
Tables Head.
BY EMILY POST.

NEAR MRS. POST: Three sisters
are going to entertain for a friend
who recently announced her engage
ment. The problem is this: The
eldest sister is the special friend Of
the bride-to-be, but the sister next TO
the eldest is married and We are
wondering whether this fact will make
it necessary that she sit at the head
of the table, and if so, is the guest
of honor seated at her right? Or
how?
Answer-Whichever sister is con-
sidered the hostess sits at the head Of
the table, and the guest at her right
If the married sister lives in her own
house, the one older unmarried one
who lives at home is certainly the
hostess. If both live at home I still
think the older sister is the proper
hostess (unless the married one runs
the house,. In any case, the one
who sits at the head of the table on
that particular day is hostess.
DEAR MRS. POST: Is there any,
thing improper about wearing the
same dress twice as bridesmaid? I
have been asked to take part in two
weddings, one following soon after the
other. and really can't afford to buy
two special dresses.
Answer-If the second bride in
tends to copy the wedding of the first
bride (Which is not likely or, as quite
possible. if you are maid of honor at
both weddings and no others need
therefore duplicate your dress, and if
at the two weddings you wear differ
ent hats and the dress is not con-
spicuous-or If the weddings take
place in different cities, then wearing
the same dress might be arranged.
But if you are to be one of several
bridesmaids at both weddings this
would certainly make it necessary to
buy two complete costumes or else
explain why you can't accept the Sec
ond invitation.

HAvE you ever noticed how the hus-
- bands of two old school chums
always look each other over sus-
piciously when they first meet? In
fact, it's seldom that the suspicion
is ever completely broken down, unless
the two husbands met very soon after
their wives graduated from deal old
Miss Van Sweasel's school for girls.
And it's very odd thing, too. You'd
think that if a man fell in love with
q Van Sweasel girl, he'd be inclined
to favor all Van Sweasel girls, and to
consider them the best of husband
pickers.
But no such thing. Apparently he
reasons that he was so smart himself
that he picked the only girl from Van
Sweasel's class of 81, who had brains
enough to know good man when she
saw one. And so every other Van
Sweasel husband, class of 81, he
reasons, is probably mug.
And, you see, when they all reason
that way. the girls are just stuck.
They might as well go ahead meeting
for luncheon.
Sometimes you can work couple
of husbands out of this mood into a
more cordial one. But it takes lot
more cooking, and lot less talking
than most of us are willing to go in
for. JEAN.

"THIS is pretty good report,
Arthur. but I don't understand
this. 1t says, Oral work good. Seems
to have trouble with reading prob
lens. Advise eye test"
"Yes, that's what Miss Maurer
said"
But your eyes are all right. The
doctor tested them at the beginning
of the term. Well, go in and ask
him to do it again. That's all. You
can't have a deficiency in mathe-
matics."
THE doctor says my eyes are per-
feet, ma" was Arthur's report. He
says 1 see fine. So it can't be my
eyes"
well, then, why can't you read
problems?"
IT can. I do read them"
"All right. Read me one. Read
the last one you had in class"
Arthur picked up his elementary
geometry and read. clearly enough,
the problem about the trees shadow.
You read it, all right. Now do it."
II guess I can do it. Let me see.
What did it say, mother?"
What did it say? You've just
read what it said"
Eyes, I know. Let me see-e-e.
The tree is 80 feet high. What does
it say about it, ma?"
Read it again, Arthur. Read 1t
slowly. So. Now work it."
Il can't If you help me can.
You tell me the numbers, and things"
mo wonder you get note on your
card. Who's going to tell you what
the problem says in examination
time? Can't you read?"
Sure, can read; but I don't know
what it says to do. If you tell me
what it says to do 1 can do it."
There are always a few children
who fail in mathematics and chem
istry and physics because they can
not get the meaning of the words that
set the problem. They read the words,
but the ideas are blurred by the
words. They have not mastered the
Interpretation of the words they read.
Most children do this easily enough
with little practice. All children
must have practice in Interpreting
what they read and some must have
very careful instruction to enable
them to do so. If their difficulty is
overlooked they are certain to fail
in written tests, in all assignments
that demand Interpretation of Ian
guage into ideas.
The written work should always be
simpler than the oral reader might
call for. A child masters words long
before he masters their meaning.
Keep the language of problems SIM
pie. Use sharp phrases with no un-
necessary words. Train the pupils to
read the problem through silently,
then aloud, and then to state its
meaning in their own words.
Don't be fussy about their state
ments. If they indicate that they
have the terms of the problem clearly
in mind don't check them to say,
therefore" and because the angle
Alb equals the angle something
else" but let them hold to the idea
they have managed to sift out of
the surrounding language. State
ments can be polished after the Ian
guage difficulties have been cleared
away. Reading problem means
reading the idea within the words.
Once a child has that he can go
ahead.

ton to inquiries from parents and
school teachers on the care and de-
velopment of children. Write him in

The Old Gardener SAYS:

In the search for perennials to
bloom very late in the season.
garden makers often overlook the
hardy sunflower (Helianthus
maximilianus), in spite o. the
fact that it has been known for a
generation and is among the
latest of all perennials to flower.
often blooming freely in October.
This sunfloWer has small golden
yellow blossoms which appear in
long graceful sprays, and which
keep we'll when cut.> H. rigidus
japonicus is another good hardy
sunflower, which persists until
late in the season. The flowers
are yellow with dark centers and
are very decorative when taken
indoors. These sunf1owers are
very readily handled but make
somewhat large clumps, for which
reason they must have an abund-
ance of room.

words and phrases have be-
come virtually obsolete in the
last 20 years, and how the
whole trend of conversation has
altered? There is no better yardstick
by which to measure the changes that
have taken place, for We would be
almost as unintelligible to our grand
children if we talked to them In
Chaucer English as we would be II
we used the vocabulary in vogue
when we were sweet-and-twenty and
up-to-date.
In those days, for instance, GER
tain subjects were taboo and never
mentioned except in private. Matters
of love were not discussed in polite
society. Now they are the favorite
dinner-table topic. People did not
describe the particulars of their dis
eases to any one but their physicians.
Now We cannot choose but listen to
every detail of their major and minor
operations, and the gorier they were
the more they publicize them. Then
family scandals we're shushed up, and
you couldn't have drawn any detail
about daughters elopement or a
sons wild oat crop out of their parents
with wild horses Now they call in
the reporters and give spicy inter-
views to the newspapers.
Then there were stories that men
never told in the presence of women.
Now it is the men who have to blush
ingly retire from the room when wom-
en- begin to tell stories. Then hell"
and damn" were words that were sell
dom heard outside of a church. Now
they are the prop and stay of all con-
versation. and the younger generation
would be almost inarticulate if de-
prived of them. Swearing-can you
imagine twas considered vulgar,
especially for the fair sex. The most
that any well-brought-up girl could
say under any provocation was "Oh
fie!" or Goodness mel" But the
modern debutante's supply of oaths
turns mule-skinner green with envy.
IN THOSE ancient days "woman's
sacred influence" was a theme on
every tongue. People actually believed
in it. Novels were based on it. Clergy
men preached about it. Orators i'm
plored women to save the world by
using their sacred influence. But
when did you ever hear anybody men
ton woman's sacred influence in these
days? Even to recall it is like fetch
ing down something from the hair
trunk in the attic that you haven't
thought of for years and years and
that the children never heard about.
In those days also part of the tech
nique of courtship was for the girl
to reform" the man. 1t was really
her trump card. Her role was to be
very pure and sanity and his to be
very wicked and she was always lift
ing him up to her higher level and
sending him good books and telling
him how she prayed for him every
night. And when a woman prays for
q man her prayers are always
answered by her getting him. But
the reformation route to the altar
was definitely closed when girls took to
smoking and drinking and petting.
Then. the meaning of words has
changed. 1t used to be that the am
bition of every girl was to be lady,
and every mothers admonition to her
