We are happy to report that Miss

Miss Henie is sure cure for tired

Of the screen she can be the seven

some Of the lads claim but on the

salubrious personality that you are
bound to like. She has not beauty,
perhaps, but she has that certain
something that is lot more valu-
able. And when she dons a pair of
skates and sets forth on a slab OF ice
you see the ultimate in grace. motion
that is exciting and breath taking in
its sheer beauty.
In addition to allowing Miss Henie
plenty of opportunity to show how
skating should be done. backed up by
some attractive ensemble numbers,
Thin Ice" permits its star to be the

Of 1887" a gentleman in New

remark may be paraphraSed in OPEN
Ing our kindly greeting to THE Life
of the Party" which began It's week
at R-K-O Keith's yesterday. The
difference is, if burlesque is deceased
this is its funeral bier. Joe Penner,
Parkyarkarkus, Billy Gilbert and
assorted other dialect and hammered
comedians have been let loose in a
story about a prospective millionaire
who doesn't think he VIII receive his
promised inheritance if he marries
within Two years and eight months
or the date of the first scene
Strangely enough he meets beauti-
tul young lady i'll hotel and falls in
love with her and wants to marry
her at once. But will she consent?
Indeed not. Not until Mr.. Penner
has said, Is that tho?' a few dozen
times, and the dialect boys have mur-
dered the Kings English and then
walked back and forth over the corpse.
Meanwhile Victor Moore and Helen
Broderlck stagger around wistfully in
the background, perhaps dreaming of
the days when comedy was comedy,
The directors idea of a fine use for
Mr.. Moore's talents, by the way, is to
bury them under an avalanche of
shoe boxes. Literally. This feat of
imagination also proves something
about Hollywood. Something we're
going to skip on hot day like this.
Inc big romantic stuff is intrusted

.Governess
Employed
Do Not Expect Her
To Be Laundress
And Maid Also.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: I have good
education, have Travelled ex-
tensively in many countries and speak
several languages fluently. For this
reson though I might prove to be q
valuable governeSs to some family.
But to my surprise, when I answered
several advertisements for governess,
found the people were looking, not
for a person who could teach their
children, but for combination
laundress and maid. Will you explain
to me just what Is expected of a good
governess?
Answer-You are quite right-a
governess Is q teacher. I am much
surprised that any one who advertised
for q governess asked that she also
act as maid and laundress. But it
may be that they meant a nursery
governess. But even she, who is very
often merely nurse Of high class
and rates as servant, would not be
expected to do washing. You probably
would like position as finishing
governess, which means that you
should be able to put boys and girls
through their entrance examinations
for college. In this position q governess
Is always considered q member of
the family. Perhaps it might be we'll
to put an advertisement In the paper
yourself. Give the information you
game me, as briefly as possible. and
state that you wish . position as

beef, and esteemed good sawce.' To-
day we bake it, make pies Of it, put it
in yeast rolls or fix it a number of
other ways.
Pumpkin pie still remains the hap
py ending for all good pumpkins and
one of the best opportunities for a
cook to show her originality. Prob
ably no two families are agreed upon
the best combination of spices for
their pie, but most of them do agree
that it must be rich with eggs and
top milk. Some like cider added.
Others like it made with egg whites
or gelatin into pumpkin chiffon pie.
ITO GET all the good fresh pump
kin flavor boil pieces of it in a
minimum amount of water until ten
der. Then put it through a sieve. If
you'd like to get every bit of the water
out of it that you possibly can cook
1t some more in double boiler with
the lid of to evaporate the moisture.
Some cooks like to prepare pumpkin
ahead Of time and store it in the re-
frigerator since it takes such long
time to fix it this way.
Serve a piece of pumpkin pie with
the regulation whipped cream, or be
more original and add bit of ounce
preserves. Individual pumpkin pie
and cider is pleasing and seasonal
combination for party refreshments. 4"

first youth, and should be part and
parcel of her beauty equipment.
Just in case you are not well ac-
quainted with masques and their use,
they are usually in the form of heavy
creams that are spread on a WELL
cleansed face and allowed to remain
for at least 20 minutes, during which
time they draw the blood to the sur
face, creating stinging, or at least
a tingling. sensation. They tend to
puff up the flesh so that furrowed
brows are ironed out, sagging contours
terminated and the whole face Won
derfully lifted and refreshed, at least
temporarily.
A masque gives one the appearance
of having had long walk in the
country with the brisk autumn wind
whipping up the blood into the face
and giving that splendid healthy "all's
well with the world" look that we all
like to have but cannot always manage
to obtain when things become too
hectic.
So it's a masque that comes to the
rescue and gives you rested, morning
freshness in about 20 minutes at
the end Of long, tedious day. If you
have the time. and the money, by all
means go to salon, lie down and
relax in dimly lighted room, and
let some one else worry with the
creams and lotions that will send you
forth looking like different person.

der why mother is so anxious to get
rid Of such q paragon.
And still other mothers entertain
all of their daughters beaux them
selves. and the boy friend has to say
all he has TO say within earshot OF
papa and grandma and the little
brothers and sisters. One of the rea-
sons why there has been such a de-
cline and fall of in marriage is be-
cause there are no shut doors behind
which a suitor can pop the question
in privacy.
Now. the girl who wishes to marry
should bear several important things
in mind. The first Is her own attitude
which should be willing but not toe
anxious; a sort Of I-can-take-you-o or
leave-you pose, II you get what mean
with . suggested undertone that 1t Is
only his peculiar fascinations that
would make her willing to give up her
career or leave dear Mother. Then she
should discipline her family and keen
1t from soaring away all of her pros
poets.
Then in planning her campaign she
should take into consideration the pos
slbilities of the situation. There is no
use in casting your bait in a stream in
which there are no fish. There are
communities in which all Of the eligi-
BILE men have left and in which even
Peggy Joyce could not wangle another
wedding ring. Pick out some place
where men congregate and where the
competition isn't too great.
IF YOU are 30 and still unmarried
change your base Of operations.
You have got to be q habit with the
men you know and they don't even
see you any more. Go to some strange
town where you will be novelty and
all Of your little bag of tricks will be
new. There is reason why the visit
ing girl always gets rush and gen.
orally husband.
Choose your profession with one eye
on the job and the other on matri-
mony. A trained nurse can always
marry either the young doctor or the
patient. A private secretary also has
the inside track of all other girls. ANY
girl who can't marry the man she works
with is too dumb to waste words on.
Don't run with beauty If you are
homely, or a vivacious and witty one
II you are quiet and haven't much to
say. 1t shows you up too plainly. And
don't have an intimate friend who has
to be dragged along wherever you 60.
Two Is company and three Is q crowd.
Dress well, but not SO extensively
that 1t sets q man to figuring on what
your upkeep would be. II you are
clever, keep your light under q bushel
when man is around. Talk to him
about himself and he will think you are
the most brilliant conversationalist in
the world. Don't argue. Don't cry.
Don't talk about how many Million
aires you could have married. Don't be
catty. And heaven will reward your
efforts.
After all, 1t isn't so hard to get q
husband If you know how.

that, according

to statistics, there are a mil
lion and a half more men
than women in the United
States. it would seem that every wom-
an who wanted husband would have
no difficulty in getting one. Such,
alas, however, is not the case. In a
land overflowing with bachelors there
are millions of women just dying to
get married but who never make the
grade and who live and die unappro-
priated blessings.
This is, the more strange because
observations show that the married
women in any community have no
more beauty, nor intelligence, nor
charm than their spinster sisters. And
50 1t leads US to the inevitable con-
clusion that when the woman who
wants to marry doesn't marry, 1t Is
because there was something wrong
with her technique. She didn't know
how to play the game. ~
Sometimes she was too eager. Some
times she was too standofhsh Both
tactics are equally fatal 1t is eternally
true that nothing scares a man OIL
and makes him take to his heels so
quickly as perceiving that q girl is
pursuing him. Yet, on the other hand,
no man ever notices a girl until she
has seen him first and indicated that
she found him strangely interesting
and attractive.
MANY other girls are kept from
marrying by their families. Some
have mothers who give every young
man who comes to the house such a
frosty welcome that he gets cold feet
and never returns. Others have Dos
seasive mothers who break OF every
budding love affair because they want
to keep their darlings for themselves.
Others have mothers who try 20 hard
to sell them to every man that they
arouse suspicious in the masculine
breast and make the boy friend won-
