Wearing Hats Indoors
Governed by Occasion

of us married, who want to give a
party in honor of my fathers birth
cay, although I suppose 1t would be
better not to mention the occasion.
We would like to write the invitations
by hand on small-sized note paper
stamped with our house address.
While we are asking at least rs peo-
pie. we want the invitation to sound
as friendly and informal as possible.
Answer would suggest that each
one of you write notes to your own
personal friends, and that whoever
has most time and perhaps neatest
handwriting also write those to your
fathers friends and relatives. follow
ing this general wording: Mary, jim,
Bob and I are having a party for
father on Sunday afternoon, January
81. Won't you come in between 4 and
o'clock?" AS you notice. have left
the birthday out, but this does not
mean that think it improper to write,
MARY, Jim, Bob and I are having a
birthday party for father ="
because those who know him very we'll
and know it is his birthday will prob
ably bring him a present, and this
might make others who are very fond
of him and would have liked to re-
member his birthday feel that they
have come empty-handed. On the
other hand, in going to a birthday
party of any size no one should feel
obliged to take a present.
nEAR MRS. POST: My grand
parents have just received a we'd
ding invitation addressed to them
land family" 1t is about the land
family" that we are in doubt. I am
the only family" living in the house
and am only one Of many grandchil-
dren. Their own children are all
married and have their own homes.
Does this invitation mean that only
I am meant or does it mean that my
grandparents own children are ex-
pected? And what about all the
grandchildren?
Answer-Oh dear, I don't know.
Perhaps the ambiguousness Of "and
family" may be the long sought reason
why this form Of address has never
come into higher social favor. Quite
seriously, don't know exactly how
many generations such an invitation
might be meant to include II your
aunts and uncles are also known to
the bride and bridegroom and they
have received no invitations of their
own, the one sent your grandparents
might be intended to include them.
But then whether you and all your
first cousins are invited is very uncer-
tain. On the other hand. If any of
your aunts and uncles have separate
invitations for themselves and their
immediate families, then the invita-
ton probably was meant to include
only you. 1t seems to me that the
safest way would be to ask some mem
bes Of the brides family.

Skin Tonic
Must Follow
Cleansing G
Necessary to Close
Pores After Cream
Has Opened Them.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

THOSE who know their beauty
lore need not be told that skin
tonic should follow cleansing cream
even as night the day. The reasons
are many, but perhaps they'll be more
obvious if we explain little.
I am very often asked whether
cleansing cream tends to enlarge the
pores. The cream itself and the fric-
ton in applying it opens the pores.
Then the cream penetrates so far as
1t Is possible for cream to penetrate,
and its flushing action calls forth
every bit of foreign matter-dust, dirt,
CRIME, stale makeup. All this Is
brought to the surface of the skin.
The proper thing to do is to wipe
this away with tissues. Repeat the
cleansing process. Continue with tis-
sues. When the cotton and tissues
show no trace of soil it is safe to
assume that the pores have been
thoroughly cleansed.
That done the tonic follows. Ii
the first place it cuts any last linge.-
lllS GIdCe VI SISdSe 1IUlll lllC ClCdAh
and removes that together with any
possible remaining soil Then, its
astringent action gets under way and
1t closes the pores. The stimulating,
refreshing action Of the tonic is In
itself sufficient reason for using it,
but the other reasons are more i'm
portant to the health of the skin.
Remember that no matter what
branch of beauty you touch, cleanli-
ness is the first law. And before
tonic or astringent Is used to close
the pores, these pores must be scrupu-
lously clean. Else it's very much like
a sealing scab forming at the surface,
with an infection brewing beneath.
When women use an astringent to
seal pores that are laden with dust or
makeup they invite trouble That's
how blackheads and blemishes very
often get their start.
So you see it's cleansing cream and
then tonic. My bulletin How to Tell
Your Skin and What to Do About IT,
is yours for a self-addressed, stamped
(3-cent) envelope. 1t will help you to
know your type and to select the prep
arations you need to beautify it.

when she mas no more work 10 90
she finds time hanging interminably
on her hands. When she starts out
to amuse herself she discovers that
she has no playmates and that she
doesn't know how to play, anyway.
It is because at middle age the
woman who has always been driven
with work finds herself idle. She who
had been the king-pin of the family
on whom all depended holds nothing
together any more and is not needed
by any one; she who had never had
a quiet moment to herself finds her
self lonely. That is why so many
women who should be happy are dis
gruntled; so many women who should
be healthy and strong develop strange
complaints and haunt doctors offices
and fill sanatoriums. And it is to
prevent this fate befalling her that
every woman should begin laying up
some resources against her middle
age.
HOW this is to be done IS, of
course, an individual question
that each woman must answer her
self, but the most obvious remedy is
for her to keep cumming with her
husband. Few women do this. They
are so absorbed in their children that
they take only a mild interest in their
husbands. They would rather listen
to the baby say dada than TO hear
husband talk of his hopes and plans.
They would rather stay at home and
watch the baby sleep than to step out
with him. 1t is an appalling thing
how little companionship the average
middle-aged couple have, and how
badly they bore each other.
OF course, every woman thinks that
when her children are grown and
gone that she and her husband will
be comrades again, but you can't take
up a human relationship where you
laid it down. There is no blowing
dead ashes into flame or reviving an
old interest. So. If q woman doesn't
want to be lonely at middle age, she
has to keep in step with her husband
all the time.
Also, every woman should realize
that her children are lent to her for
a few years at most. They are not
hers for keeps. and when they are
gone she is bound to be miserable
and lonely If she hasn't developed a
life of her own, with friends and in
terests and purposes, that will keep
her happy and contented.
And every woman should try as far
as possible to f1t herself to do some
thing whereby she can earn her bread
and butter If she is thrown on her
own when she is middle-aged. This
Is difficult for the domestic woman
to do unless she realizes that she
can make Of housewifery a fine art.
We all have to eat. be lodged and
have clothes, and there Is always a
demand for those who can give super
service in making us comfortable.

NEAR MRS. POST: We seldom
- wear formal clothes in our simple
community, which fact I contend is
no reason why the ladies here may
not 60 to evening parties wearing
afternoon dresses and no hats. Don't
YOU agree with me? There are several
new residents who have been turning
up on such occasions with hats on.
Answer: The general rule is II you
wear an afternoon dress (meaning a
dress not suitable for general wear on
the street, in the evening. then you
should 60 without hat. but II you
are wearing a street dress. then you
should wear hat. But whether tne
hats YOU describe are bad form or not
depends entirely upon their type. In
other words, if they are an INDOOR
type of hat, they are quite as suitable
to wear with afternoon dresses as 10
90 without. In fact, they are decld-
edly a fashion of the moment.
DEAR MRS. POST: Are the moth
II er and her debutante daughter
s,lnposed to 20 without hats at the
daughters coning-out afternoon tea?

neither one wore a hat, and also the
daughters dress was next thing 10 an
evening dress. Also there were some
other young women dancing around

hadn't noticed, but do you suppose tne
mother and daughter wore gloves?
Answer: The hostess and denutan'e
at a formal coming-out afternoon Tea
never wear hats. and the debutante
wears a semi-evening dress. Her
friends who receive" with her also
90 without hats. The word receive"
is nut in quotations since 1t merely
means that they are the debutante's
best friends and have been invited to
come without hats to set themselves
apart from all the other guests. They
have no especial duties. Both mother
and daughter should have worn gloves.

DEAR Mrs Fooi' snou.u ~ ..e .ae
- ladies pouring at a formal tea
wear hats? Common sense seems to
be the basis of your etiquette, and IN
INV humble Judgment hats at this
time do not sound sensible.
Answer: This question is best de-
cided by the arbitrary custom OF each
community. In New York, for ex-
ample, a deputy hostess always wears
a hat unless she is house visitor,
and even in this case she is likely as
not to wear one Neither dress nor
hat for a deputy hostess should be too
tailored.

Dorothy Dix Says
While Still Youthful Prepare Yourself
for Middle Age
for Middle Age.

IF I COULD say one word more
earnest than any other to women
it would be to urge them to begin
L in youth to prepare for middle
age. Because it is catastrophe that
none of us can escape except by
death. Normally it comes to us all
Just as inevitably as the Autumn
comes to the year. and whether it is
a season of contentment and gath
ering in a rich harvest, or of bare
boughs, desolation and empty cup
boards, depends upon how we have
prepared for it.
We are not accustomed to think OF
middle age as a tragedy for woman,
yet I doubt If there is any one thing
in the world that brings as much suf-
fering and misery to the entire
feminine sex as just being f1ftyish.
Youth Is gay. Old age is generally
serene. But in middle age most wor1l-
en- are discontented, peevish, fretful,
maladjusted to life.
Nor is it difficult to understand why
this is the case. Up to middle age
the average woman has been busy
helping her husband get start in his
business, making a home, bearing and
rearing children. She may have toiled
harder than any slave. but it was
work for those she loved and she got
a kick out of it. Her house has been
gay with the laughter of children and
the coming and going and frolics Of
youngsters.
RUT in middle age her whole scheme
- of life is suddenly changed. Her
husbands career is beyond the need
of her assistance. Her children have
grown up, married, set up their own
homes, and her house Is left empty
and desolate. She and her husband
are back where they started, with only
too often this terrible difference, that
in their youth they were lovers and
at middle age they are almost
strangers.
More than that, in her busy years
the woman has absorbed herself in
her home and her family. She
thought she had no leisure for clubs
and for keeping up friendships and
making social connections, and so
