Manners
of the
Moment

WE HAVE two serious counts against
people who chatter in movies
Naturally, it's a distraction to nom
chatterers. The non-chatterer usually
tries to find out what "he says to me, :"
and in the act of eavesdropping he
misses the key point in the mystery
that it developing on the screen. He
also usually misses the point Of what
he said to her, and leaves the show
completely thwarted.
The second count against chatterers
is their very bad habit Of leaning their
heads close together and then sud-
denly popping back into an upright
position to take breath. This is hard
on those who sit behind them, for they
find themselves craning their necks
first to one side and then to the other
every 10 seconds or 80. 1t may be good
for the neck muscles, but it can hardly
be called recreation.
So we would like to make plea to
the chatterers. 1t would help if they
would lower their voices to the point
where there would be no hope Of fol-
lowing their conversations. And we do
wish that they would take one position
and hold it throughout the show.

IN THE morning a lasting complexion
for the day will be your problem;
but don't let that worry you Listen
to some cabled advice from Paris on
the subject:
Summer foundation and powder
must have tone depth ana mellowness,
but no extreme burned shades are
sponsored" So saying, the master
cosmetician who creates cosmetics in
Paris for beautiful women in all the
principal cities of the world, explains
how to produce his lovely Summer
nf
Andino.
He advocates the use of two founda-
tion preparations. This idea sounds
little extreme and unnecessary. but
is said to work out most satisfactorily
and result in a perfectly blended soft
matfinish that will defy warmth,
dampness and exercise and keep fresh
looking through hours OF sports, shop
ping, long luncheon or dancing on
into the small hours.
1t is not as complicated as it sounds.
A cream foundation Is used, accord
ing to the usual method with this
particular line of cosmetics. followed
by rouge and powder After the
makeup is completed, dip a square of
absorbent cotton in cold water and
squeeze out all excess moisture.
Saturate the cotton with the finishing
or f1xative lotion and allow this to
dry for few minutes then brush of
any powdery residue with the finger
tips. This will give you a protective
covering that is q JOY to behold and
one that is reported to stay intact for
an unusually long time

Makeup
Advice to
The Bride
Whole Picture Must
Be One OfPerfection
on Wedding Day.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

HERE comes the bride, her heart
beating bit faster, perhaps; but
no one would guess it, for she is per-
fectly poised and perfectly lovely.
An hour or two ago she was rushing
through the finishing touches of her
beauty regimen. If her purse permit
ted, she may have called in her IA
vorite hairdresser to adjust her hair
style (she had permanent a few
weeks ago, and setting a day or two
ago, SO that her hair would not look
tvo obviously set for the wedding
march,. Or, she may have had a
friend or a member of the family
comb it and carefully coax the little
ringlets over fingertips. Most modern
brides can do this so sNllfully them
selves that it does not call for outside
help.
Then her makeup was applied very
deftly, for she knows how important
makeup is to the perfect picture,
particularly on a day like this. First,
creamy foundation blended over face,
neck, arms. back and shoulders to
give a lovely. velvety look to the skin
and to conceal any little surface blem-
ishes (that have a way of rearing
their ugly heads when least invited)
Then a cram rouge blended ever so
carefully, the edges fading away Just
as Natures own coloring does. Then
careful powdering. first applied with
a puff, generously pressed into the
skin, the excess smoothed away with
a powder brush. Perhaps two shades,
one superimposed on the other to
give the skin a chinalike or cameo
quality and merely toned down shine,
but not look obviously powdered. Lip
stick applied very cautiously, enough
to lend little sheen and color; but
by no means obvious.
On this day of days, more than
any other, 1t is well to remember that
1t is better to err on the conservative
side. If mascara is used, it must be
the non-run type and it must be ap-
piled with careful hand. The eye
lash growers (colorless), bit of oil or
cream or plain vaseline are safer. The
bride of today knows that it is poor
taste for makeup to be harsh or
garish or glaring at any time, this
day above all. But the bride Of today
need not blush nor need she be pale.

My Neighbor SAYS:

This is the time that holly
hook rust makes its appearance
on hollyhock plants in the gar
den. 1t appears first as brown
blisters on the lower leaves. 1t
may be checked by pruning away
and burning all the old foliage at
the base Of the plants and then
busting thoroughly with sulphur
or spraying with bordeaux mix
ture. 1t is very important to
cover the under sides of the leaves
with the fungicide.
II one-half level teaspoon of
baking powder is added to every

souffie, 1t will not fail. after it
has been removed from the oven.
Do not remove husks from
green corn until just before
putting on to boil. Corn spoils
quickly, so it should be used as
soon as possible after purchasing.
Use an egg beater instead of
q spoon when beating fudge. 1t
makes it more creamy.

How to Launder Sweaters.

When laundering sweaters or knitted
suits be careful not to stretch them
while wet or they will be too large
when dried. Before washing. lay the
garment on some llght-colored paper
and >'ace about it with pencil.
When it has been rinsed fit the gar
ment into the tracing and lay paper
and garment on a Turkish towel to
dry. Drying may require two days,
but the fitting will be correct.

The Old Gardener Saws:

Although geraniums seem to
be the most popular flowers for
window boxes, many others can

petunia, known as Rosy Morn, is
a particularly useful annual for
window or porch boxes, having
lovely flowers Of uniform color
and remaining in bloom all
Summer. The so-called balcony
petunias, which have a trailing
habit, lantanas, Drummond's
phlox, lobelias and dwarf nastur-
tiums are also good for window
boxes, but, Of course, they need
sunny location. If sun is avail
able for only a short time each
day, or not at all, foliage plants
must be relied upon. There is
on exception. tuberous-rooted
begonias, which will bloom with
but very little sunlight. The
small f1owered bedding begonias
make good window-box plants,
blooming all Summer, and will
flower with less sunlight than
most OF the ANIMALS.

~ HESE are the days when it
seems as if all the nice boys
and girls we know are getting
L married. and when we are
haunting the shops trying to find
some gift to send them that will be
token of our affection and not the
ninety ninth duplicate of something
that SO other bewildered friends have
bestowed upon them.
Of course. we all end up by giving
them the traditional silver or glass or
china wedding present, but how often
we wish that instead of loading them
down with another dozen spoons for
which they have no use. or a clock
that is just exactly like the one Aunt
Susie sent them, or the bric-a- -brac
that they will hide in the darkest
corner of the top shelf Of the hall
closet, that we could endow them with
few intangible things that would be
worth more to them than anything
that is ever sold over a counter, and
that would be a comfort and bless
ing to them as long as they live!
Suppose, for instance, We could
send John and Mary, with our best
wishes for happy marriage. large
supply Of common sense. wouldn't
that be more valuable to them than
a set of hand-painted dinner plates?
And more needed? For common
sense is commodity that bridal
couple rarely possesses. yet it is the
one thing that boy and girl starting
out to live together need more than
anything else on earth.
EOR, if they had good, hard, horse
sense, they wouldn't expect too
much Of marriage, or too much of
each other, or even too much of them
selves They would take marriage
on the chin instead Of whining over
it and throwing up their hands and
quitting when things got rough They
would accept each other las is" instead
of trying to make each other over
And they would make the best of
their bargain ard get lot of happi-
ness and content out of marriage.

Do Not Try to Coun-
terbalance Fiance's
List of Family.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: We have
| decided to invite only nearest
relatives (by which I mean both our
families) and few of our most In
innate friends. Because my fances
family outnumber mine by three TO
one, l am wondering if I might mako
longer list of friends than he2 I
have so many friends of whom I am
really fond and he has just few.
Answer-Your and his lists both
should include only those people who
are in the same categories. But it is
no more necessary that your list Of
| intimate friends total the same num-
Der as his than it would be for you
to have the same number of brothers
and sisters and other relatives that
/; he has. Certainly you may ask best
| friends, but you should not add ac-
quaintances merely to counterbalancs
the length of his family list
DEAR MRS. POST: May cock
tails be used instead Of cham
payne or other wine to drink toast
! to the bride and groom at the break
! fast? Would the fact that the we'd
! ding is al half past eight in the morn
| ing have any bearing on your answer?
| AnsWer-At no matter what hour
OF the day cocktails would be most
unsuitable for drinking the toast to
bride and groom. Wine has an
| ecclesiastical association that goes
back for centuries; in fact, wine may
| be unfermented as we'll as fermented
| but cocktail is made of distilled
| liquor than which nothing could b
more improper at wedding FEAST
| which is necessarily associated with
church ceremonial.
DEAR MRS. POST; I have received
a wedding invitation with separate
card inclosed on which is written
within the ribbons" Am l supposed
to present this card to the usher9
And does it mean that I am to sit in

| Answer-Usuallv the pew number is
card and sent to each person who is
| given reserved seat, but it is an open
! question whether little card reading
within the ribbons" and without any
| pew number, is not more practical.
This card is shown to the usher who
| finds the name of the guest on his
list, which can have been revised at
the last moment and the places of
these who are not able to come given
to those whose places were originally
farther back. OF course, if every one
comes exactly as planned, the number
written on the brides mothers card
| Is much the simplest. but since acci-
dents and illnesses are very apt to
occur the indefinite places are more
easily arranged. After ALL the list
of those to be seated in front of the
ribbons is fairly short since it merely
includes the families and feUest most
intimate friends

far better for them to be given the

is caused by husbands and wives never

ing to know each other or to see be-
yond the surface of each others
natures.
The practical man who tolls like
a slave to support his wife and give
her luxuries doesn't understand that
the reason she is peevish and fretful
and discontented is because he never
tells her he loves her, or pays her any
compliments. The domestic woman
who keeps her house as clean as a pin

he goes off after another woman is
because he is heart-hungry, not
