Stuffed peppers are favorites in most
households. After the cleaned pepper
has been parboiled few minutes, it is
lifted from the boiling salted water
and filled with whatever meats or vege-
tables-or mixture OF the tWo-happen

Another oldfashioned but still ap-

NEAR MRS. POST: Is it possible

parents on my engraved wedding in
vitations? The reason l should like
to have both names is that since
mother died, several years ago, father
and I have lived with her parents.
who are very good to us at all times,
and in this case are contributing q
generous amount to pay the wedding
expenses. And yet I don't want them
to send out the invitations If my
fathers name must be left off If
such plan would not be too irregular,
and even if it is irregular, II you
think it not in bad taste, will you
suggest the wording?
Answer-One way, Of course. would
be to have the invitation TO the
church sent out in your fathers
name, and the invitation to the recep-
ton in your grandparents names:
Mr. John Pater
Requests the honor OF your presence
at the marriage of his daughter
Mary
Etc.
And then in the same envelope the
invitation to the house could read:
Mr. and Mrs Henry Elder
Request the pleasure Of your COMPANY
at the wedding reception Of their
granddaughter
Mary Pater
and
Etc
To have the two names on the
same sheet Of paper would not merely
be irregular but very awkward to
word. But if there are to be no
engraved reception cards and you
must put both names on the church
invitations, then do it this way:
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Elder
Mr.. John Pater
Request the honor Of your presence
al the marriage of
Miss Mary Pater
To
Mr.. Arthur Lee,
Etc.
Since it is impossible to engrave
their granddaughter and his daughter
the prefix Miss is in this exceptional
| case correct.

This is particularly important for the

The liquid may also be used to give

added to the rinsing water will turn
the trick. Try this one sometime.
ONE of the incest little surprises
that We discovered this week. is
delightful guest-size box containing
six beautifully designed miniature
squares Of hand soap-soap that is
definitely in the luxury class. Silken
to the touch and delicate in fragrance,
this suggests a gift for the woman who
likes the very best These attractive
white and gold boxes make just the
right gift for the weekend visitor
to take to a hostess. or you may use
them yourself in your own guest room.
Soap Of the same kind but in regular
hand size is no doubt familiar to you-
four in box 1t also comes in a
larger bath size, but the guest size is
the newest and the daintiest Of all.
a MOTHER luxury that any woman
can enjoy and appreciate is
complete set Of lipsticks-a color to
harmonic with every ensemble. Es-
pecially in Summer when we wear so
many different colors, is the relation
ship between the complexion and the
color of the costume most important
and conspicuous. 1t is essential to
choose lipstick that blends with the
costume and suits your particular
shade of tan or lack Of it. So if you
are a very particular person, set of
six lipsticks chosen to blend correctly
with everything, will surely appeal to
you. The colors are Mat VictOre"
for the sun-beige complexion, Print
emps" for printed frocks with variety
Of colors. Blush Rose for pastels,
Copper" for deep tan, Royal for
black and "Nasturtium' for white
This makes convenient travel
ing accessory and is splendid idea
for the bon voyage gift Then Of
course, you may get any of these
colors separately if you find that one
OF them is just exactly what you need
to round out your Summer color
scheme
IF YOU tire of sweet fragrances as
the thermometer mounts. try a
spice scent instead! Spices may be hot
to the palate, but to the spirits they
are refreshingly cool! We know of one
perfume that is particularly keen and
pungent in its spiciness-brisk as a
peppermint stick. Try it, to brighten
your mood at the end OF a tedious
train trip. Use a dash of it after the
shower, or mix it with your final
shampoo rinse to give lingering
freshness to your hair
And there are three versions OF this
nice spicy odor. There is the perfume
itself. then the eau de cologne, and
If you want lighter scent try the
carnation toilet water which is so suit
able for daytime use and less expen-
sive, too. The perfume may be OBJ
talned in quarter onces or more: the
toilet water comes in 4-ounce bottles,
and the eau de cologne which is the
lest expensive of ALL comes in 2-ounce
bottles at $15O.

Villagers in the North Central
States present the sorriest picture OF

even here almost a fifth were getting

An Instant
Makeup
Remover
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

OVERHEARD on the beach during
one of those oppressive, sticky,
"dog days" remember the recent hot
spell?):
How do you keep your face looking
so clean and fresh?"
Which made me think that 1t Is
no mean problem. I myself have come
to depend upon combination Of soap
Cor better. yet a soap substitute) and
cream for that thoroughly clean feel
ing. But I confess that during the
warm days this season 1 found cream
just a bit heavy and sticky. Perhaps
you've had the same experience.
What to do about 1t? You'll find
that the skin thrives on quick
change to liquid diet. I discovered
q lotion that feels so delightfully."- cool
and refreshing that this virtue alone
should put it in every woman's cos
metic wardrobe. But that is only the
half of it. AS an instant remover of
makeup, dust, CRIME and sticky sand
it is splendid.
1t is boon to the business girl, who
can keep it in her desk for year
round use; to the traveller, and to
every woman wishing to make a
quick makeup change without going
through two or more steps of a
thorough cleansing -toning treatment.
Keep a small perfume vial Of it in your
purse, together with dab Of cotton
and tissue or two.
Most lotions Of this type are slightly
drying to the skin. But remember
that in the Summer the skin secretes
more oil and perspiration than at
other seasons, because the sebaceous
and sweat glands are stimulated in
their action. Even the dry skin, there
fore, can use this lotion to advantage
Should it prove very drying. a bit
OF tissue cream applied before retiring
will counteract this effect.
If you haven't time for the applica-
ton of a makeup base, it makes nc
matter, because an instant remover
lotion OF the type I have described
| will leave the skin so clean, so cool
50 fresh and smooth that makeup
may be applied Immediately over it
It's literally lotion for loveliness and

~ F ALL annoying things that
happen on vacations, one Of
the most irritating is the
problem of damp, stringy
hair after the daily swim. The best
of bathing caps never keep all the
water out, and permanent waves have
way Of looking pretty fuzzy If left
to their own free will after being wet
They have to be coaxed back into
position by some means or other.
The Summer girl above has solved
the difficulty in a clever way. She
takes her hair curling equipment along
in her beach bag. and once out of the
water for the day, she sits herself
neat looking little tight curls. 1t is
quickly done and Furthermore there
is no trace of an ugly metal curler
visible, for this method rolls the hair
on a bobby pin for each curl, and
leaves it securely fastened. Even the
bobby pins don't show, and our Sum-
mer girl may take a sun bath or play
a game of handball looking as neat as
a pin. BY the time she is ready to
dress for the evening, her hair is in
perfect condition and with the pins
removed she looks as sleekly groomed
and charming as if she had Just
stepped from the hairdressers! These
little gadgets take up so little room in
ones baggage that they can be tucked
in almost anywhere. and they will
give no end of satisfaction.
ONE of the chief indoor sports for
stay-at- homes, during these Mid
summer days, is taking bubble baths
We have mentioned before in this
column a number of bath preparations
that produce lively foam in the tub
When you get used to them, a plain,
ordinary bath seems quite tame in
comparison. Children simply love
these baths and think it is great
sport to play with the billowy foam
that makes a blanket Of bubbles vary
ing in depth according to the pressure
Of the water from the faucet. The
more power, the more bubbles.
Now crystals come in individual
packets, each one enough for one bath
You may already be an ardent user of
these little packets, and if SO, you will
surely be interested to know that these
baths are now produced in concen-
trated liquid form-a de luxe edition.
One is scented with pine essence and is
piney green, the other with eau de
cologne, in lovely red amber. The
bottles have pleasing design in a
frosted finish that makes them skid

favor. The liquid, being more con-
centrated than the crystals, goes fur

feet of clay. The jealousy that tears
her heart to tatters The cruel dis
illusion of knowing the one she trusted
has proven traitor to her. The broken
faith, the lost illusions, the sweeping
away Of all that made their marriage
beautiful and holy; the humiliation
Of knowing that another woman is
preferred before her-the woman who
has been through this has been
through her Gethsemane, and nothing
can ever heal her wounds or make her
world as it was again.
But the thing has happened. The
tragedy has befallen her and the
thing with her is not to make bad
matter worse, but to choose the lesser
of two evils, and to do the thing that
will bring her the most comfort and
happiness. And this she does not
often find in breaking up her home.
For one thing, divorce is a luxury
for the rich alone. II woman has
an independent fortune Of her own,
or il she has some talent by which she
can make enough money to support
herself and children in comfort. then
she may leave a f1irtatious husband
if she chooses. But, if she has no
money and no ability to make even
a dollar, and she has to 60 back and
be dependent on her family, who
resent the imposition, then, indeed, her
last estate is worse than her first.
She will wish many a time that she
had stayed with the husband who
gave her a good support, and shut
her eyes to his little affairs.
Divorce Is not a cure-all for heart
hunger and loneliness. Nor does it
automatically make middle-aged
woman 4 young and beautiful girl
again. with 4 girls gayety and charm
and chances of getting married. The
divorced woman with children has
no opportunity Of marrying again
unless a miracle happens to her, but
the wife who holds on to her Job
almost always gets her wandering
husband back again.
That is why, when marriage goes

to choose the lesser OF the two evils

The necessity Of making this un-

make public scandal and bring
shame on their husbands and their
children? Shall they keep their bitter
knowledge to themselves and eat out
their hearts in silence? Shall they
humble themselves before the other
woman and beg her to give their
husbands back to them? Should they
forgive, or get a divorce?
In the first flush Of anger, jealousy
and outraged wifehood every womans
impulse is to rush to the divorce
court. She wants to make her hus-
band suffer She wants to cry aloud
to the world his disloyalty and her
wrongs. Every primitive instinct in
