PUZZLED KAY"
If you are thrilling to an old
flames kisses, and your fiance's
endearments make you question
your love for him, it would be
better not to marry as soon as
you suggest.
The old flame may be the love-
pirate type for whom most women
fall and your fiance the steady,
responsible kind of man who
wears we'll, makes a good hus-
band, but evokes no wild raptures.
This type is safer than the cave
man type.
But if you do not respond to
prospects of calm, untroubled
domesticity, better wait before you
make the final decision.

SHE HESITATES
"Dear Miss Fairfax:

"Dear MISS EalffaX:
"When 1 was very young, I was
kept too closely at home and not
allowed to go to parties like other
girls, so I've never had any men
friends except this one.
81 am now 20 years of age, and
sometimes this young man walks
home with me from church. He
tells other people that he is going
with me. He has only been to see
me couple of times, and when he
asks for a date / refuse, because
his people are not of the same
class as my people and his grand
parents are said to be Just trash.
Il should like to get rid of him,
but do not wish to hurt his feel
ings. Also he is the only man who
has ever paid me any attention.
\''READER."
Sorry your letter was too long
to print in full, but from what you
tell me Of this young man he seems
all right to me.
AS he is the only one who has
ever paid you any attention, do
you think it wise to turn him
down? Isn't it a bit snobbiSh to
object to his family as being in
ferior to yours?
While a girl of 20 is young
enough to have plenty of chances,
one admirer is better than no ad-
mirer at all.

1 am QeSlGdLluB.
II provided each of my wives
with a good home. which think
is wOman's place. But they wanted
to CAD to church affairs, to play
cards or visit their families.
"They were not immoral women
nor unfaithful, but they seemed
to want to find their entertain
ment outside of the home. The
last one wanted to adopt child,
as 1 have never had any children,
but 1 would not agree to this,
feeling a strange child was too
much of a risk.
Il like to keep to myself and
have never had much to do with
my neighbOrs. When my third
wife applied for a divorce, some
one chaIked on the front door
bad luck housewives keep out.
I've tried to be very frank with
you; do you think a fourth mar
riage would be desirable?
LONESOME"
After what you've told me of
your disposition and liking to keep
to yourself and avoiding contact
with your neighbors, it seems that
fourth marriage would not be
any more successful than the three
preceding ones, unless you change
and decide to turn over a new leaf.
Going to church affairs, visiting
ones family and playing cards
seem harmless diversions to me,
and I can't see why any normal
man would object to them. Every
one needs a little change and
amusement, and unless you agree
to such innocent pleasures as you
have told me your former wives
indulged in, better not try any
matrimonial lottery again.

'tection to the sensitive tips of the
toes. Good square toe nails may
be very beautiful and will give
the feet balanced shape.
Battle the feet we'll every day
and massage them with a good
cream to keep them smooth and
white. If there is the least dryness
about the nails or cuticle rub them
with lanolin. 1t will keep them
smooth and prevent the ridges
and hangnailS that mar the
beauty of the nice-looking nail.
PERSPIRING FEET
Perspiring feet may be relieved
by sponging them with a 25 per
cent solution of aluminium chlor-
ide. Then use any of the foot
dusting powders. Add a little
boraX to the foot bath, and when
the feet are swollen bathe them in
an EPSON salt bath.
Go to a chiropodist regularly
if your feet need treatment.
Always use your orange wood
stick to keep the sides clean and
cuticle pushed back. Use your
file on the callouses, but never
shave them too thin.
When there is a troublesome
callouS remove as much as possible
without irritating the skin. Then
soak the feet in the EPSON salt
solution or a good lather of soap
and warm water. Rinse and dry
them, and then you may put a
little piece of adhesive over the
calloused part for a while. Powder
the adhesive after it is in place
to prevent sticking to the stocking

HERE'S the beach bag you've
II been looking for-to take on
your cruise or your trip south.
It's main recommendation is that
it's so extremely good looking
and next to that is its size. Never
will you find a roomier bag. one
that will carry your bathing suit,
all your little needs such as cigar
cites, makeup, a beach towel, and
you can even put in your pet poo
die if you haven't enough already.
It's of that heavy fabric they use
in beach things, sail cloth, I think
it is, and notes having been taken
in q hurry, we can't tell whether
it is So or 1895, but be sure it's
worth it at either. 1t comes in

CHURCH AND PROFITS

NnONOE1 AMI GNOE "A y
Dear Miss Fairfax:
81 never was what you'd call
religiOuS-minded, but / joined a
church when l was terribly in love
with a young lady and it proved to
be a very good investment, for
some of the welI-tO-dO members
of the congregation help me along
in my business.
"But this girl didn't like me
after a while and gave me the air.
Finally she married someone else,
but 1 continued to go to her
church, because everyone was so
nice to me mad helped me along.
"NOW 1 have fallen in love with
another girl who belongs to q
different religion, and she wants
me to change to hers. I'd be
glad to do that, as mean to
marry this girl. But / am afraid,
if l do, Ill lose the valuable busi-
ness connections 1 made through
the first church. What do you
think of this situation?
BACHELOR"
When you tell me that you
never were religiouS-minded, I'll
agree. Religion is something
deeper than joining a church for
financial benefits received, and
your only qualmS in leaving the
fold seem to be that the benefits
would not go with you. What
has this second young lady'S
church to offer you in the way
of advantages? I hope devoutly
that you may awaken to some
thing deeper in religion than
worldly profits.

HE SHORES

Dear Miss Fairfax:
My parents made a match for
me, which makes me more criti-
cal than if / had picked out my
own husband. They are old
country people, and not ac-
CuStOmed to American ways. My
husband was widOwer of 48,
and 1 was a girl of 19 years, when
we were married. We've been
married six years, have no chill
dren, and find myself very lone
some at times.
my husband is devoted, too de-
voted, and 1 have all 1 can man
age to keep from showing him
how bored and restless 1 am. He
works very hard during the day,
and if he takes me to movie, or
out to see my friends in the
evening, he usually goes to sleep;
not a quiet little cat-nap, for he
sometimes SnOreS.
I'm thinking of adopting a
child, and he is willing-any-
thing to keep me cOntented. But
I'm getting more and more rest
less. Why do parents insist on
making their children's matches
for them? BORED"
Your idea of adopting a child is
excellent. And let me urge you
not to lose any time about max
ing the necessary arrangements.
If you can afford it, why not
adopt two children, as the fate
of an only child is likely to pre-
sent problems. They become self
centered, and are apt to be spoiled.
Two youngsters are a better Solu-
ton. And here are my very best
wishes to YOU in this new venture.

News From Paris


GABLES from Paris tell of
~ many smart little foibles
that have made holiday cos
tunes more attractive. Re-
member the flowers on a metal
spring that we've written about
two or three times-rhinestOne
flowers, orchids or wild roses,
that are all a-quiver because of
the metal spring that connects
the flower TO the pin or slip !
Well, they're wearing head
dresses of that type in Paris,
flowers mounted on metal
springs that give animation
and movement. and a certain
life-like look to the flowers.
Sounds grand.
HAIR ribbons and bows are
IL worn by some women, too,
notably those thdt are young ana
beautiful. They are simply mar
row ribbons tied about the head,
with a childish bow on top. Very
youthful and sweet. if you can do
it. Another youthful fashion is a
velvet baby bonnet brought out
by Suzanne Talbot. One baby
bonnet is described as embroidered
in turquoise beads. another as
studded in silver nailheadS, and
both tie under the chin with rib
bonS.
UELVETS, metals and shiny en-
' broiderS are said to be worn
most in Paris for the evening, with
stress on embroideres as coming
vogue. Metal embroidery or flow
erS of paillettes are lovely, as every
thing must glisten and gleam.
Grecian gowns of great simplicity,
but considerable color interest are
predicted, as a counter-faShion.

When we took this country
away from the Indians we
should have been smart
enough to appropriate their
styles in footwear, too. They
have very stylish modes in
shoes in their way, and they
never find it necessary to sac
rifice comfort for style.
When they need a shoe for
formal dress they just add a few
more beads to the regular moe
casin and there they are: all
dressed up. With us it is quite
different, we have changed the
primitive styles, for long ago we
became intrigued with the style
of heels on shoes, and ever since
the first heel appeared. we have
been changing the vogue of foot
wear.
The present styles, however,
afford more real foot comfort
than any we have ever known
so far-that is, for the combina-
ton of style and comfort, too.
Many of the leading shoe man.
ufacturers have comfortable shoes
that are really very trim and
smart, and we do not have to be
miserable to have nice looking
feet as we did in former days
when there was only the Staid old
sensible shoe and the Spindly high
heels built on the most aStrocious
lasts.
LENGTH AND WIDTH
The important thing to bear
in mind in selecting a shoe, accord
ing to all foot experts, is to get
one that is plenty long enough
to accommodate the foot without
the least binding. We should wear
a comfortable width, too, but a
narrow shoe will not injure the
feet very much, if there is plenty
of room in the length.
High heels should not be con-

CAID the girl who showed me
~ these towel sets, "Since bath
rooms are becoming showrooms
these deep-toned towels ought to
be good" We think they are. The
colors are simply grand, wine red,
flame red, royal blue. They'll put
your bathroom on the map of your
house. If you want even more
color, use the blue with either Of
the reds, and you'll have a gor-
geouS effect. And now that the
resort season is here-think how
grand they'll look on the beach,
the towels, of course. They're
color fast, made by one of the very
best manufacturers, they're mex
pensive for their grand quality,
and they're good looking. The
weave is sort of herringbone ef-
feet, with long loops for greater
abSorbency. The towel is a big
one, 22x44 inches, and is $1.39.
The bath mat is $295, the wash
cloth Csc, and the ensemble is
$4.59.

There's no definite rule about
when the salad should be served.
It depends on many things. At
formal dinner, or even q semi
formal dinner, it is usually served
as a separate course with heated
crackers and cheese), between the
roast course and the dessert.
At an informal dinner it is
served either in this same way
or as an accompaniment Of the
roast course, as, for instance a
hearts of lettuce salad or a let
tuce and tomato salad with steak
or roast beef.
In some parts Of the country,
notably fruit-growing States, q
fruit salad is served as the first
course. In some homes we find
the salad on the table when we
take our places at table .
with the idea, apparently, that we
can eat it when. or as we wish.
To me this sort of service seems
a bit vague, not doing justice to
what "goes with" what. A good
salad demands more respect from

IDEAS INVADE FRANCE
In France, the dictator complex
on the part Of the ladies had be-
come so evident that they passed q
law recently, making the husband
the head of the family. Amer
lean ideas are said to have trickled
into France until wives are now
asserting themselves.
The situation recalls the old
fable in the Arabian Nights of the
man who let the genie out Of the
bottle, then tried to put it back
again. It couldn't be done, as they
discovered thousands of years ago.
Laws can be made till the cows
come home, but when women have
once become economically indie
pendent and been the major sup
port of the family, in or out Of q
depression, it's impossible to try
and put them back on the little

However, with all our flair for
style and originality, it is a mis-
take to ignore the seasons changes
in some styles, or we may find
ourselves wearing dated fashions.
For instance, we are not going to
wear the broad-face hair styles
that were popular last summer and
during the early winter. This was
the effect made with large, loose
rolls around the face. 1t was not
a flattering hairdress for any
one, but nevertheless a change and
something to get away from.
The roll is worn now, but it is
much smaller and is either carried
across the crown of the head or
done in the back only. When it
is carried across the crown of
the head and continued around
the head, it does not distort the
natural contour as the half-roll
did with its horned-sideS effect.
The off-the-face style is still
popular. The younger set wear
the hair longer than the more
mature women. All Hollywood
stars wear long bobS, and so do
the college and high school girls,
| as they have learned a long bob
