for a girl friend, would have
to wear a dress the same shade
as hers? I do not know what
color her dress will be. Her
dress may be long, mine is

are a number of them on the

well in the beauty salon is really

BY Bah Lincoln

TNHE most striking costume
seen over the past weekend
was worn by Fanny Hurst at
Mrs. Roosevelt's party for the
Gridiron widows at the White
House on Saturday night. True
to her usual custom, it was a
long-Sleeved high-necked gown,
severe, form-fitting, and on this
occasion of softest white satin
brocade. Over her blue black
hair which she wears plain and
shining and coiled in a knot,
she had dropped a tiny black
tulle veil, which sparkled with
gliStening gold pailettes. The
effect was breath-taking.
Mrs. Gene Tunney, tall, will
lowy and fresh-looking wore at
the White House party a wide
skirted gown of gold chiffon
lame, laid all over in small
tucks, which were released for
the skirts fulness.
Countess Felicia Gizycka was
radiant and glowing as always,
in a floor length frock of heavy
black silk with short puffed
sleeves. A huge crimson rose
accented each corner of the
high square decolletage.
June Hamilton Rhodes, at
the same party was demure and
sweet in pale gray crepe, with
long sleeves and high neck,
her only ornament a superb
diamond necklace.
Copper lame fashioned the
shining gown worn by Mrs.
William Bankhead. On her
sleek golden head, she wore a
flared coronet to match her
gown.

III am not satisfied with my
makeup, and look too made up
when I put it on. It stands out
conspicuously. I used it all last
year and it seemed all right.
MY hair is dark brown and I
wear a light cream powder. My

fair, regular blonde type. My
eye makeup is as I like it and I
always use a black mascara.
What do you think is wrong
with it all? I forgot to say, the
rouge and lipstick are orange
red. NITA.
Try a much darker powder,
some one of the Spanish or
apricot shades. Wear a red
rouge and lipstick with a slight
blue mixture and you will see a
big improvement. We are not

On the contrary, mindful per.
haps Of their daughters weekly
pay envelope, do they sit back
and allow the girls life to shape
itself?
An acute newspaper contrib
utor who has watched the ways
Of more than one generation be-
lieves the latter superstition is
true.
This observer admits, as any
Of US would, that it's blow to
any parental heart when Peggy
flashes her engagement ring,
and that in any family genuine
parental tears are shed when
Peggy, on the arm OF ner young
husband, leaves the home nest
for good and all.
MEANT RELIEF
But formerly, he reminds us,
In the days when fewer girls
had jobs, a daughters marriage
meant more than the mere miss
ing of Peggy's enlivening pres
ence in the house. 1t meant a
definite relief for daddy's
pocketbook. Girls are expen-
sive, the darling things, and al
ways have been; so it was per-
haps a consolation, even if the
parents didn't quite understand
their own feelings, when the
burden Of Peggy's support was
shifted to the shoulders of
young man who was actually
enthusiastic about assuming 1t.
With a family of several
daughters, not one of them earn
ing q penny, it was natural that
parents should bestir themselves
to see that these daughters
married. If daddy was just
plain everyday man, with a
modest salary, marrying off the
daughters was, in fact, an eco
nomic necessity.
But the day came when these
girls slipped out and got jobs
for themselves. That changed
things for everybody. The fam
lily being none too prosperous,
the girls paid their boards at
home. Their weekly pay en-
velopeS meant something to their
parents as well as to the daugh-
ters.
CRAMPS THEIR STYLE
Under such circumstances it
may be, as the observer I have
quoted believes, that parents
have become rather languid
about this matter of securing
sons-in.law. Losing a daughter
nowadays is, from this point of
view, not just a matter of hurt
feelings and an empty place at
table. It means also a smaller
budget out of which to pay the
butcher and grocer. It's a
definite cramping Of the family
style. Now that Peggy is a
wage:earner, Peggy's stepping to
the altar is something for the
old folks to weep over, if it
never was before.
I don't, of course, assert that
any Of the foregoing is true.
Perhaps parents are now and al
ways have been completely dis
interested. But there a hint
here for daughters, just the
same.
And even though I may seem
