Summer Souvenirs
Must Vanish for
Fall Elegance.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

ZONE this time of the year and at
least half the world is doing home
work. Not only those learning their
lessons in school rooms, but those
learning their beauty lore. The other
half sits idly by, making excuses,
spending time in wishful thinking in
stead of up and doing"
This is a hard season of the year
to bridge There's only one successful
way to do it and that is: Diligent
homework, Systematically planned,
scientifically carried out
With unNanted Summer souvenirs
still apparent and the lovely Fall
fashions beckoning. it's very incon-
gruous indeed to adopt all the CLAM
orous new foibles in the face of
freckles, tan, coarse skin. coarse, drab,
discolOred hair; darkened and rough
ened hands and figures that aren't
exactly fawless.
To bridge the seasons beautifully,
to go from Summer into Fall with
"soignee" air, not only groomed but
glamorous, plenty of homework is
necessary. Even the woman of means
who can afford to spend hours and
dollars no end in reputable beauty
salons-even she must supplement the
expert care she receives there with
some homework in order to prolong
the good effects of the salons skilled
performers.
But just like a young school girl
plunging too avidly into homework,
there's danger in OVERRIDING. Keep
your sense of proportion and your
sense of values with you. Take in
ventory again. Concentrate on the
particular point that you feel is your
weakest. Gradually as you improve
that add others. A division of effort
over too much territory usually means
lost ground somewhere. So take your
inventory and plan your action.
Is your hair dry, harsh, parched,
ends breaking? You'll need plenty of
brushing and oil treatments. Has it
become discolored or overbleached by
the sun? Then decide whether you
want to darken it (more oiD or
brighten it (bleaching) or shampoo
tint it back to a beautiful blended,
even color, or dye it (have it done by
an expert.
Is your skin dry, tanned, coarsened?
Are your hands rough and discol-
ored? Have you allowed bulges to park
at hips or waist? Just what do you
need most in the way of beauty home
work? Inventory plan
action!

Fried Chicken Wing
Eaten in Fingers
Permissible.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: How far will
you go in saying that fried chicken
may be taken up with the fingers?
My sisters make the biggest fuss be-
cause like to pick up fried chicken.
and the way they act one would think
I were committing rank sin. They
tell mother that 1 might just As well
be taught decent table manners now
when I'm growing up or else I'll make
some woman miserable one day. Can
you imagine?
Answer: II q man likes to eat
chicken wing or SQUAD leg in his
fingers in his own house, there is no
objection to his doing so because he
can ask for q finger bowl with
slightly soapy hot water in it,. The
real objection to eating with the nm
gers is getting them greasy or sticky,
and to suck them or smear ones
napkin is equally unsightly-as
gesture or a result!

DEAR MRS. POST: Will you tell
me the present-day use of doilies,
linen. lace and paper? (a) Are lace
and linen ones no longer used on ia
BILE tops and as anti-macassars on
the high backs of chairs? (b) And
iNst how far may one go in using
them on plates and trays? 1t seems
that the women l know are packing
their lovely lace and linen ones away
almost entirely. and using paper ones
on plates and trays. My husband
says it's just another example OF
the perverseness of humans. (c) His
favorite example, however, Is that We
fused until We had electric lights in
our house and now he has to struggle
half blindly through dinner with only
the light of candles!
Answer: ta) Bare tables are in the
extreme fashion of the moment, but
even so, lace or linen plate mats are
almost always used. Anti-macassar
are also seen occasionally, but not OF

Of an anti-macassar is small square
made of the same material as the up
holstery of the chair. This can be
cleaned as often as you like, and on
the chair it does not shout its pres
ence or advertise its use-not that this
matters! (b) Paper doilies are pre-
ferred to linen ones on plates and
trays, just as they have always been
used in compotiers or dishes under
fruits or sweets. (e) Evidently you
should use more candles or else sup
plement your candles for decoration
with electric lights for use.

The Old Gardener Says:

All evergreens need an abun-
dance of water in the Fall. This
is particularly true in sections
where drought has been expert
enced during the Summer. In
such regions it is important that
the ground around evergreens
have thorough soaking at least
once a week from now until the
time the ground freezes. If this
water is mot supplied by natural
rainfall, the gardener should pro-
vide 1t with the hose. Evergreens
throw off moisture through their
leaves even during the Winter
and for that reason must always
have an abundant supply of
water at their roots. This state
ment applies particularly to
rhododendrons and mountain
laurel, for their leaves are broad
and they lose even more water
than those with narrow leaves,
such as the pines, spruces and
hemlocks. If evergreens 20 into
the Winter with insufficient water
they become weakened and will
be subject to the attacks Of in
sects next Summer.

and the various horsey events sched-
uled in nearby Virginia will keep the
out-of-door enthusiasts occupied for
weeks.
All of which means there will be
lot of eood-looking sportswear seen in
conspicuous places. Bright, new
tweeds flecked with unusual colors:
the loveliest soft English cashmere
and shetland sweaters that you ever
saw, plaids will be rampant. and
suits and casual coats so important
that they are just taken for granted.
Almost everything on the artists
palette is found among these gay.
fun-loving clothes, and the way the
oolors are being combined is abso-
lutely intriguing No one stops at
monotone effects these days. They
mix them up into unexpected cock
tails of spicy color with results that
are as inyigorating as a brisk October
day.
Take, for instance, the outfit shown
here, which really needs technicolor
to do it justice. The short -jacketed
suit is Of tweed in a lovely shade of
deep ocean blue; you might call it
Belgian blue, or lapis lazuli. The new
chubby topcoat is a blended plaid of
blue and olive green on soft gray.
The unexpected vibrant note of a
chartreuse crepe scarf tucked into
the neck and the hat and bag of dark
blue, with a touch of green on the
gloves, complete the ensemble that
bids fair to distract some ones atten-
ton from passing events.

with his attentions, but not overjoyed.
He wants her TO meet him halfway,
but not to do all of the running.
I'HE reason many other girls DO
not marry is because they are too
choosey. They are victims of the
Fairy Prince myth. They are looking
for some man who is as rich as
Henry Ford. as handsome as Ramon
Novarro and as romantic As Clark
Gable on the screen to come along
in his Rolls-Royce and marry them
and take them off to his palace.
Hence they turn down with scorn the
poor young chap in flivver who il
nothing TO look at, who chokes on
make love. and who has nothing but
a bungalow in which TO set up house,
keeping. Many q woman who might
have been happy with good. honest
husband of her own class sacrifices
her opportunity to her dream and
lives and dies lonely old maid.
hlsO. IdIilllltS are llISl dlO 10 SDlflS-
terhood. Before girl can get mar
ried she has TO have a chance to get
acquainted with boys, yet there are
parents who will not let their daugh-
ters have any boy friends or go to any
place of amusement, and who make
every youth who comes to the house
feel that he is about as welcome as
case of smallpox. There are other
parents who always sit in earshot
when a boy calls and who let pesti-
ferrous little brothers and sisters al-
ways be underfoot. Many a surly
father has driven a desirable suitor
away from his daughter Many
slovenly mother has been an awful
warning that caused boy to look
elsewhere for a wife.
OF course, there are many other
reasons-a sharp tongue, dressing too
extravagantly for their means. sf-
fecting to despise domesticity, being
too highbrow, talking too much-thst
keep girls from marrying and explain
the why Of the old maid, but gen.
orally 1T is just because the woman

~ that her daughter, who Is
n pretty. intelligent, sweet.
tempered and domestic, and
who Is fitted in every way to make
a good wife, has never had a single
proposal Of marriage and is drifting
into spinsterhood
There are many explanations Of
the old maid. Perhaps the chief one
Is that there are certain women who
just save no attraction for men,
They have every good quality except
the one that would help them most
in getting a husband Why this is
thus. we do not know. Nor do we
know in what this mysterious power
consists.
1t isn't beauty. 1t isn't brains. 1t
isn't amiability. 1t isn't goodness Or
even an affectionate disposition. For
we have all seen Miss Americas who
never had a beau and girls homely
rs mud fences that the boys swarmed
around from the time they wore pig
toA'o. VIC thfC SCEA DuHlD )DI dS
who have had seven husbands and
college presidents who never had a
chance at one. We have seen cold,
selfish, gold-digger girls have dates
TO burn and warm hearted, sympa-
thetic, interesting girls spend their
evenings at home with Mamma and
Papa. SO this ability to charm men
is just gift of the gods. If girl
has it. she can marry as often as she
chooses. II she lacks it, it is Just
too bad. for there is nothing she can
do about it.
a MOTHER reason why there are so
many old maids is because many
girls do not know how to "sell" them
selves, so to speak. They do not
know how to put their best foot fore
most. They do not know how to
make the most of what good looks
they have. They do not know how
to dress so as to bring out their good
points. They do not know how to
make window display that will
catch the masculine eye, so men pass
them by without a second glance.
They never even find out that the
way the average woman gets her hus-
band is by persuading him that she
is just exactly what he wants and
has been looking for.
Environment also plays a fatal part
in the making OF old maids. 1t is
futile to hunt deer in forest in
which there is no game Many
woman fails to marry because she
lives in community in which there
are only senile grandpas and school,
boys. All the eligible men have left
to seek their fortunes in other places
and unless she has enough enterprise
to ge. up and follow them she is fore
doomed to end her life in the Spin
sters Retreat.
Many girls do not win out with
men because of their poor technique
in handling them. Some girls are
too eager. Others are too stand
offlsh. The anxious ones chase a man
down with telephone calls. with let
ters, with invitations. and hound him
for dates until they make him feel
like ~ hunted animal and he fees
from them for his life. A man wants
to feel that he is the pursuer and
not the pursued. Nothing disillusions
him so much as having q girl run
after him. 1t rOuses every combative
instinct in him and that is why the
women who are most anxious TO marry
so seldom do so.
On the other hand, man doesn't
want woman to high-hat him and
act as if she were conferring a favor
upon him by letting him spend his
money upon her giving her a good
time. The dear Lady Disdain stuff
doesn't go with the modern youth.
