else they fill them to everfoWing with
lpstlck stained butts that they don't
bother to lamp cut properly. The
consequence is an offense to both the
eye and the nose of the beholder.
Very probably, due to this careless
ness on the part of the fair sex, mas
culine smokers have become far more
unconcerned about their smoking
habits than they used to be. I can
remember-and I'm not so darned old
at that-when it was considered the
height OF tll-breeding to smoke at the
dinner table before the hostess
signifled her permission by having
cigarettes passed to the guests. And
some hosteSses never did give their
permission-and nobody grumbed.
Then it became bad form to smoke
before salad-but you could smoke
then, even if you had to use your own
clgarettes-and a great many of the
rising generation spoke slightingly of
the hostess that did not provide them
at that stage of the dinner. Nowadays,
cigarettes, matches and ashtrays must
be on the table from the moment
that the guests take their places, and
If they want to smoke with the soup
there is no stopping them. There
certainly is little effort made to obtain
the hostess permission for this by
either the masculine or feminine
guests. They light up as matter of
course, and gone are the dear old
days when gentleman always asked
if ne might smoke before doing so.
THERE is nothing that gives a
hostess the jitters quicker than
to see fuming cigarettes lying pre-
cariously on the edge of the ash tray,
above her very best lace tablecloth.
More beautiful linens are ruined by
this means than in any other way.

young man, a college grad

- my profession. For three
years I have been desperately in love
with a girl who loves me. bit who is
little idiot. I admit it, although 1
love her with every beat of my heart.
She can't hold an intelligent conver-
sation, she lacks tact, is selfish and
conceited, yet she has me won COM
pletely. I want to be with her every
minute. Her silly and childish gibber-
gabber, which CRATES on the nerves OF
all who know her, fascinates me. She
is beauty, but decidedly stupid.
Don't you think that since my love
has endured three years and since am
we'll aware of her lack Of brains and
love her in spite Of it, I can safely
embark upon the sea of matrimony?
Does it matter if you have a wife who
is dumbbell as long as your friends
can slap you on the back and say:
My, what peach you've married."
Let me have some Of your advice,
Miss Dix. B.. MI.
Answer-The objection to marrying
girl who has nothing but good looks
to recommend her is that her attrac-
tions are evanescent and soon fade,
hence the man who marries her is
bound to lose out in the end. She
+ isn't even good matrimonial bet.
| She is a certain loss.
Time fades the roses in the fairest
| cheek. 1t streaks the loveliest tresses
with gray. 1t etches crows lines about
the most glorious eyes. 1t turns the
most lissom figure into fat or
scraWniness. This is bound to happen,
and then who so lacking in allure as
the faded beauty who lost her all
when she lost her looks? Believe me,
son, If you marry this girl, 10 years
hence your friends will not be slapping
you on the back and envying you for
having got a peach. They will be
giving your hand the grasp of SYM
pathy for having a wife who is dumb
and isn't even easy on the eyes.
MD believe this also son. that NO
woman ever gets as ugly as a
stupid and selfish woman does when
she Is Old When the radiance OF
youth is gone, and the vivacity that is
merely health and strength and hot
young blood, is quenched, there is
nothing in woman's face to redeem
it unless she has intelligence and

mass of flesh, as repulsive as corpse
You know plenty Of such old women

Beauty Hints for
Those Who Plan to
Be Photographed.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

A READER writes: Il am not a

conglomeration of features is little
reason for sitting for a photograph.
but Fathers Day is around the corner
and I think it would please him no
end to receive a photograph. so I've
decided to take this step. Have you
any beauty hints to help one out in
such a dilemma"
Personally I have a feeling that
the writer Of the above note Is much
more attractive than she admits, for
only an attractive person would write
in such facetious vein. Be that as 1t
may, however, here are the hints:
In sense you are buying beauty when
you sit for photograph, so take heed:
First, I would pretend that it takes
two days to make photo. The day
before the sitting would rest leisurely
and luxuriously, longer than usual.
I would get additional sleep (at least
an hour or tWo) the night before You
don't want the candid camera to tell
a waiting world about the rings and
circles under your eyes. OF course.
a clever photographer can retouch
them. but why have them in the first
place?
A few days before you sit for the
photograph, have your hair "set." II

Youths S
Sorrows
Are Real
They Eat Deep Into
the Hearts of Chill
dren in Their Teens.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

YOUTHS sorrows are real. To be
left waiting for the invitation
to the dance that does not come; to
be ignored at the party, to feel clumsy
of body and dull of mind; to come to
consider oneself a nit-Wit beside the
youth who is the life of the party; to
want the very right suit or the latest
hat and know 1t is forever beyond
one-these are sorrows that 60 deep
into the hearts Of boys and girls In
their teens. Grown people smile at
them. Long ago they have forgotten
the pain they suffered for these very
things. Age takes youths sorrows
lightly.
To be sure age knows that all this
will pass. They are the experiences
Of youth the world over since Cain and
Abel. But youth knows only the pain
of today and it is very real. And hope
long deferred as long as the day after
tomorrow, might just as well not
trouble itself about the matter. What
are parents to do about it?
II is not possible to save children
pain and sorrow as they grow toward
maturity. The best We can hope to do
it to point out cheerfully that We and
the neighbors and the neighbor's
children suffer alike. Youth always
feels its troubles to be unique, and II
one can very cheerfully explain that
we are all in the same boat it helps.
Misery does love company.
Not that perhaps so much as that
young people like to feel themselves Of
the crowd, even if it is trouble that
makes them kin. 1t Is this very feeling
that prompts the heartache Of the un-
happy child in the first place. John
can use the car whenever he wants to.
Marianne wears spike heels to school.
Kitty can smoke because her mother
lets her and her mother belongs to
the church, SO why can't I? Every
girl in the town got an invitation for
the dance except me. All the fellows
can have good time at party except
me. Except me, is the thing that
hurts. Being set apart, being different
being left out Of the crowd, is sorrow
and grief, and 1t demands respect and
comfort, too.
Don't say that it doesn't matter.
You know that it will not matter in
the long run, but you know, too, that
it matters to this stricken child.
Talk it over cheerfully, as with a
| grownup person worthy Of your con-
| sideration and best thought. Offer
q friendly suggestion. Try to find
something in which this child excels.
Point out his excellencies, and don't
be shy about putting in a good word
for the home and family at the same
time. Dad isn't so bad, you know,
and mother does take an interest.
There will be other parties and other
| opportunities for stardom.
I know girl who used to stand
| glowering in corner, biting her nails
at recess times. In class she was
likely to explode in a tantrun that
shook the school from cellar to flag
staff. She was the bane of the teach

tennis, expertly. She took medals and
cups and many bows. She is the very

but why, oh why do they have to be
so sloppy about it?
Another charming habit, INDUCED
in for the most part by men, 1 think,
is that of nonchalantly tossing
cigarette out of the WindoW-letting
the wind carry it where it listeth, and
gravity where it may. If they bothered
to eXtingulsh all fire before casting
the butt to the four winds, it wouldn't
be so bad-but they take a last long
drag, and then heaVe it over the sill.
If it falls on the leather or fabric top

neat hole may be promptly burned,
and the whole top is ruined. 1t might

the blond shade, so popular today
while others combine the light ano

made of the blond wood, with a
wide stripe of the dark through the
center. The line dividing the light
from the dark is so straight that

the wooden handles really looking

 It's no job, really, to make him catch on. Just use a long leash, stick to the same words and same tone of voice.
 To teach him to sit up, put one hand under his forelegs, gently force him up on his haunches. With the other hand chuck him under the chin and say "sit up" many times. As soon as he can keep his balance, say good dog" give him bit of his favorite food.

Paris (UP)-One of Molyneux's outstanding evening gowns of irri- descent pearl satin has been ordered by Princess Nicholas of Greece, mother of the Duchess of Kent. The gown is made with a full skirt sewn in slight gathers on the bodice at the low waistline. It is made with a low cut decollete, back and front, and the Princess wears it with one of her own beautiful tiaras.
 Another Molyneux favorite is the long sheath-like evening gown of black crepe which is fitted closely to the body and trimmed with pale bluiSh hyacinths at the waist. The gown is worn under long cape of the same black crepe trimmed with luxurious skins of silver fox fur. The silver fox comes about the neck and continues all down the front openings of the cape while two other skins are twisted from front to back to make the armholes of the cape.
 The very full evening silhouette has proved as popular as the slim one and Molyneux makes several evening gowns of lace which is wired for stiff, full skirts. One gown in black lace IS made with slender fitted bodice and a big bouffant skirt that is wired. The lace is sheer and transparent and reveals nar-
