81 am not a sentimental person,
and the fact that I'm q good and
loyal wife, make a comfortable
home and am thrifty, should be
enough, 1t seems to me, without
the daily insistence Of: 4 love you
better than anything on earth
eff I didn't love this particular
man devotedly, 1 would not have
stayed with him all these years.
He's good as gold, but he has a
few decidedly human ShOrtcOm-
ings. PRACTICAL WIFE"
And you wouldn't love him, my
dear lady, if it we're not for those
decidedly human shortcomings.
No one loves a plaster saint, or
even an imitation one, who goes
about basking in his own sanctity.
Be nice to this admirable husband,
or some other lady may take it
into her head to assure him she
loves him better than anything
else on earth.
A great many good husbands
could stand more pampering than
they get, the reason being, I sup
pose. that with economic condi-
tions changing so rapidly and
wives going out to work, there
isn't time for these affectionate
assurances But housekeeping
wives don't have to grab their
hats and make the 8:15. They can
afford to do a little pampering.

This opening was attended by
a large and very smart gathering
Judging from the sight OF the
restaurant, Paris has come again
into its own, and this Prelude
to the Exposition galas is won
derful omen for the success"
PariSiennes, English and Ameri-
cans were there, and gorgeous
gowns and beautiful jewels were
worn by everyone. White garde-
Mas, black tails and white tics
were the orLer of the evening for
the men.
FULL SKIRTS BEST
The dress silhouette is import
ant, as reported, for the full and
swinging silhouette predominated
over the draped, slim one. Yards
of materials were used for the
skirts of the first type, and made
an amusing contrast with the
boolces, as the gowns had no
backs, but merely a brassiere or
pointed front. Organza, plain and
printed taffeta and net we're the
materials.
Among the smart women wear
ing such gowns was the ComtesSe
de Gabride in a beautiful Chanel
frock, white organza with black
embroidery top and large sash of
black taffeta. In her hair she
wore a black taffeta bow placed
at the center of the head and
covered by a shiny veil hanging at
the back. Madame Paul WELLER,
who is considered one of the
The Washington times., 1937-06-23

smartest and most beautiful
women in Paris, wore a black tat
feta with brassiere top, no strap
at all, very low all round and
lined in pink taffeta. A large pink
rose was pinned at the left side
of her black hair. Both these
gowns were seen on three
different women. Stripes and
m u l t i-colored gowns were
numerous.
DIAMONDS AND RUBIES
Of the other Silhouette, the slim
one, Nine. Van Clef looked very
smart in a Maggy Rouff black
tight-fitting crepe dress, long
sleeves and high necked, with gold
embroidery over the shoulders and
belt, and an embroidered skull cap
to match with black veil. At the
same table was a lady in white
draped chiffon with a long cape.
She wore rubies and diamonds, a
combination much seen.
Several women wore plain long
sleeved dresses, but with shiny and
rich embroiderios, and with this
type we're worn gold or silver
skull caps. The fabrics of these
gowns we're chiffon, flat crepe, a
few satin. White predominated
for them, all blues from royal 70
turquoise we're seen, black, and a
very few pastels or prints.
FUR CAPES IMPORTANT
Fur capes were worn by nearly
every woman, in all lengths from
waist to floor. Silver foxes we're
first, white foxes next, some mink
was seen and a few sables and
ermineS.
A tremendous amount of hair
ornaments was seen; flowers,
birds, jewelry Nand wells, ribbons
and bows. Large roses we're placed
at the side or just over the right
eye, and one woman wore two
pink carnations with a black gown.
Many more earrings, mostly long.
Diamonds lead, bracelets and many
large clips we're seen. Diamond
hair ornaments we're popular,
too, especially in flower motifs.

right for me to give her a gradu-
alton gift?
"When should such a gift be
given-befOre or after graduation?
what would be an appropriate
gift?
"When a lady invites a man to
a semi-fOrmaI function, should the
man take flowers to the lady? How
about when the man invites the
lady-ShOuld he take flowers then?
MALE READER"
Yes, it would be pleasant and
generous of you to send this girl
a graduation gift. And how proud
she'll be that Sisters beau" sent
her gift!
A graduation gift should be
given before graduation.
A book or books would be fine
gift, especially appropriate for a
graduation present. Or one or two
or more lovely white Sheer-linen
handkerchiefs, embroidered with
her first name. Or a charming
white evening bag. Or a purse for
day wear. Or a pen and pencil
set, perhaps stamped with the
facsimile of her signature.
In either case it is gallant for a
man to send flowers to the girl
whom he is taking to dance. And
it seems to me especially important
that he make this courteous bow
when the girl has been so generous
as to invite him to the dance.

SHALL SHE CONFESS?

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Several years ago I made q
sudden foolish marriage. My
mother had it annuIIed at once.
Now / am engaged to q fine
young man who doesn't know
anything about this first mar
riage. My parents do not think
it necessary to tell him, but my
conscience says / must. What do
you think? MARGARET"
1 think, my dear, that you must
let your conscience decide. It
would never do to marry with a
guilty conscience. There is GER
tainly nothing you need hesitate
to confess, and If your fiance is
really in love with you, he would
not let this interfere with your
happiness.
Doubtless your parents have
good reasons for advising you to
do otherwise, but you do not give
them to me. For-even if you
were not an honorable girl with
