folded into a triangle, for this, so
you will have the extra end, and
so it will have enough body to
give you the wide look at the top.
Bring it around, tie it once, pull
the points back over the knot and
tie again :. as simple as that.
For Any Square
The other two pictures are sim
pie enough. The two fishnet scarfS,
edged in polka-dotted fabric in va
rious colors, make a smart ensem-
BILE for head and neck, though one
could be used without the other.
They may be arranged in any way
you like, though we thought the
simplicity of the picture had great
charm.
The striped scarf worn on the
other head is the "Malihu TwiSter. :"
1t comes ready to put on, the ends
sewn together, and cap arrange
ment which you put to the back,
twist the scarf in front, and slip
it about the back again. This may
sound intricate, but isn't, and they
will show you how, when you buy
the twister. With it is worn a
matching scarf. Both are of a
meshy knit in bright Rom a n
stripes, with various colorS pre-
dominating.

will have to see him 90. But
sometimes 1 think that . year
of happiness would be worth
all those long, drab years
led as a wife and q widow.
"The most difficult part Of
the problem is that my SON
persists in thinking Pm insane
to consider this affair, and
that he has already broken his
friendship with the man I
love. UNHAPPY"
Your response to this affair is
comparable to a gambler who
stakes his last cent on any
hazard, with about fifty-to-one
chances against him. You alone
can decide whether a year of
happiness, as you see it, with the
loss Of your sons esteem, will be
worth taking.
I wish you had told me some
thing of this young man Of 80.
If it's a case of fascination only.
the dice are loaded against you.
If you have congenial tastes.
your marriage may be the ex'
ception which proves the rule.

No type Of cooking seems to
be too difficult for the young
bride who is interested in
pleasing the taste of her new
husband. To decide to make
cream puffs or roast leg Of
lamb with no thought Of
failure is rather breath-taking.
Yet it is rather soulsatisfying
to see the subject of cooking con.
sidered with such enthusiasm.
For the most part, the young
brides will be cooking with a
recipe book in one hand. Starting
in with an accurate recipe to fol-
low has certainly the official
stamp of approval.
Many mistakes are avoided by
following the recipe accurately.
The ideal meal must be attrac-
tive in appearance as well as taste.
So when planning your meals con-
slider them as a unit and be sure
that you are including colorful
vegetables and attractive gar.
nishes.
Desserts are usually a favorite
with men, and last summer in our
brides favorite recipe contest,
many recommended hot breads to
win compliments.
Fresh fruit now in season can
be served on meringues. These
sound difficult, but they are really
simple to prepare.

ture and bake for l hour IN ar
oven set at 225 degrees. This is

WEDDING INVITATIONS
Mrs Reeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"When sending invitations to a
church wedding, is it necessary to
invite the person to the reception
when you are having only the i'm
mediate family, or does the church
invitation include the reception?
when sending your invitations
for the church, how soon or how
far ahead of time must you send
them?" an"
The invitation to the church
ceremony is one kind of invitation
the invitation that reads, in the
second line, request the honor
of your presence" the invitation
that does not require an acknowl-
edgment.
The invitation to the reception
is an entirely different kind of in.
vitation the invitation that
reads, requests the pleasure Of
your company" the invitation that
does require an acknowledgment,
the answer as to whether or not we
accept the invitation.
Since you are having only the
immediate families at the recep-
ton, you would not have formal
invitations. The invitations would
be given by word of mouth or by
note.
The guests at the church cere.
mony would not expect to attend
the reception unless you especially
invited them.
This is. of course, not true of a
house wedding, since the guests
are there, ready to take part in
the giving of their best wishes and
fluctuations.
If you are sending formal invi.
tatlons, they should be mailed
about three weeks before the date
set for the marriage. If your invi.
tatlons are informal notes, they
would be mailed about two weeks
or 10 days before the wedding.

Etiquette
Be Prepared
For Calls

ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
II have recently moved to
another city and have found the
ladies very prompt and friendly
on calling on newcomers. There
are several questions on which
would like advice.
mot having any service, is 1t
proper for me to leave a caller,
to prepare a cup Of tea?
"How long should one stay when
returning a call?
'Is it proper to telephone the
person to say you are going to
call?

"IS it all right to use a silver
bread tray for sandwiches"
a."
Yes. Since you live in a call

wise for you to have ready every
day as many of the details Of
your tea-serving as possible.
And your visitor will thoroughly
understand when you ask to be
excused to add the final prepare
lions to the tea-tray or tea-service.
If the call that you are making
is a formal one, 20 minutes or a
half hour is an appropriate time
to stay. For an informal call the
time would, naturally, be length
ened.
When we plan to make a formal
call, a call that returns formal
call, we would not telephone that
we are coming. Leaving our card
is the symbol of our call.
Informally, between friends who
are intimate, we might telephone
to see if our coming is convenient
to the hostess.
Yes.
Yes. To my taste, almost all
kinds of food look most attrac-
tive when served on silver.

This would be- a bad time to
quit the sister and brother-in-law
who have offered you care and
shelter. If you were to walk out
of their home at this time, where
would you go, since your husband
is unable to provide for you?

There's positive Wltchery IN
the ways of kerchiefs this year
and we have tried to show some
of the ways they can be worn,
on this page today. OF course
We had to leave out many, many
good ideas, for lack of space.
You can think up many that
we haven't pictured, scarf ar.
rangements for the neck, and
for the hair too: the peasant
scarf tied over the head and
under the chin, for instance.
It's a favorite this season, but
is so we'll known that we just
didn't photograph it.
Easy to Adjust
AS to how these scarfs are
done it's simple enough,
though some of them look intri-
cate. Most unusual is the cotton
kerchief tied with a topknot,
making skull cap. This is done
by tying the knot first, then
putting the handkerchief on the
head with all the rest hanging
down over your face. Start at
the bottom, which is a point,
and roll the handkerchief until
you get it as high as you want
it on your head, then tie it in
the back. It comes out just as
you see it in our picture. If you
want a little heater look in the
back, you can tuck the ends
under, or leave them out, as we
did.
Width At Top

angles around the head in the man.
ner of the Persian print shown,
but this tying is different. First,
it conforms to the new fashion
of width at the top, which is easily
done by pulling it into the shape
you want before you tie, Secondly,
it has bow ends, to give it a little
extra chic. You must use a square,

For an emergency freshener

de cologne. Moisten a cloth and
wipe the hair strand by strand.
Then use your setting lotion. ar
range your wave-if you are that
clever-and do up the ends on
metal curriers'.
There are times when it is not
convenient to have a shampoo
you know, when the best teller"
calls unexpectedly.
The permanent wave is a bless
ing to the "oilieS" whose locks
flatten down soon after the sham
poo. 1t gives them substance and
dries the shafts slightly.
One should not have too many
permanents a year, by the way.
The shafts should have a chance
to relax between treatments.
Three permanents a year are the
limit. Two are better.
When feet are tired and fever
ish, don't put them in hot water.
Friction them with olive oil and
wrap them in Turkish towels that
have been wrung out of ice-cold
water. This treatment will put
your pedals in form again.
Wipe off the oil with the moist
towel, friction the flesh with flat
tened palms and apply a foot pow
der. A little of the powder placed
in the shoes will absorb skin moiS-
ture which causes discomfort.
Contributing causes to excessive
perspiration are a nervous temper
ament, faulty elimination, heavy
foods, and disregard for the laws
of hygiene.
Battle daily. change undies
daily. Use an astringent bath
powder all over the body, a de-
terrent in the armpits. Drink
water freely, cutting down on tea
and coffee. If the trouble persists,
consult a doctor, who may discover
a glandular disturbance.

He never does anything to please

reason.

away to work and study, since it's

Why not, since work and study
are the surest way to forget? If
the boy friend treats you badly
before you are married, and de-

there is not much hope for hap
