IF MOTHERS could man.

would give their daughters
happiness insurance.
Which, in this most real
istic of worlds, would prob
ably take the form of good
looks when they reached the
10 Dor husband hunting
age.
So it is natural that Hazel
Rawson Cades, the mother of
two growing daughters and
beauty editor of national mag
azine, should express herself
for the benefit of other mothers.
Pockaging
Important
There has never been a
time" declares Mrs. Cades,
"when package appeal was so
heavily stressed as it is today.
A good motor-car must look
smart, a good face cream must
be attractively packaged If they
are to compete successfully.
Your child must meet the same
test"
Mrs. Cades is frankly looking
into the future, to marriage and
careers, when she begins the
simple routine of bathing the
baby.
Your best bet is to fit quietly
into her schedule the necessary
routine" she advises.

In the heat Of the summer
which is usually the month Of
August, every day there's a time
between luncheon and dinner
when a cool fruit beverage gives
new zest for whatever the rest
of the afternoon may hold.
AS a crisp contrast to a cool
drink, there's nothing like crack
ers or cookies served with it. For
something different in this line.
you might try Sweet Nellie
Browns, a combination Of cookie
and doughnuts.
Cream one fourth cup Of
shortening with one-half cup Of
sugar; then blend in two un-
beaten eggs. Add two teaspoons
of grated lemon rind. Then Sift
together two and one-half cups
of flour, two teaspoons Of bak-

spoon of salt. Add these dry
ingredients to the creamed mix
ture alternately with one-fourth
cup Of milk a small amount at
a time, stirring well between

can hardly call it snobbishness
either, as compared to some Of

they want their stars to be a GER

No Proof
Necessary
Yet, in spite of the fact that
many of you girls know it's the
wrong thing to do, you not only
take no offense at the insult, but
frequently give the varlet the
proof he desires. Later, you
pitifully wonder why that poor
excuse for a man seems to have
lost his love for you entirely.
I've received scores of letters
lately from young girls on this
problem, and it's made me boil
ing mad to learn that so many
of you have been taken in by
such low crawling knaveS.
Just look at some of the ex-
tracts from those letters.
&c. So I yielded to his de-
mand to prove my love for him

I've seen him, and I'm worried

8" I was so much in love
with him and still am, so that I
was only too willing to prove my
love for him. Two months after

any more, that it was all a mis-
take What shall I do?-
Broken-hearted."
g.. AT first I refused. But
I was mad, I guess, because I
later proved how much I loved
him. Someone must have told
about me, however, because he's
broken our engagement ... He

kind of a girl he wanted. -

but he said to skip it, that he
had to take it for granted that
I loved him, though he'd rather

not so certain. We quarrel
and fight constantly, and it's
usually about one thing -

For Sanity
Those extracts speak for
themselves, and they cry to
heaven for you girls to come to
your senses. Whenever any
male is so low as to suggest that
you prove your love in a most
unreasonable way, it's time to
tear loves binders away and
look at that hombre with a cold,
analytical eye.

Rich Fabrics
Are Dramatic

are DT0bV0EtG
So, Dear September and Octo-
ber Brides-to-be: If you long to
have a overwhelmingly lovely
wedding land what bride
doesn't0, you couldn't have
chosen a more propitious sea-
son than the coming fall. Ro-
mantle silhouettes, rich fabrics
and striking tones that lend
themselves dramatically to a
church setting, are fashion high
lights.
In the first place, play up
color, which starts right with
you, the bride! Instead of dead
white, choose a hoop-skirted
gown, tinted pale, pale pink or
delicate-hued blue. Your waist
must look as small as grand
mothers; your curls must be
piled high on top Of your head,
with O mist of q tulle veil caught
there, and piled with pink or
blue tuberoseS.
Whether you choose pale pink,
or blue, each of your attend
ants must be garbed in a differ
ent tone; one in fuchsia, one in
deep purple, and one in cerise or
American Beauty. Their frocks
should be modified full,Skirted
versions Of your gown. and I'd
suggest velvet for the most dra-
matte results. For your bridal
gown, however, I'd prefer satin.
The bridesmaids, too, must
pile their hair high on top
and wear adorable pale pink
ostrich poufs perched far over
one eye. instead of carrying
flowers, have them march down
the aisle with their hands de-
murely folded inside pale pink
ostrich muffS. You should carry
a spray of orchids. tinted from
pale pink to deep purple.
Bridesno0ids Wear
BrOUUn Shades
If those colors don't appeal
to you, here's another sugges-
ton. Why not have one of
your attendants wear a gown
tinted the. golden brown of
vermouth; the next, a golden
yellow, and for a startling con-
trast let the third bridesmaid
appear in the same dress, shaded
q cool lime tone.
These dresses may be velvet,
chiffon or crepe, but we believe
the former is richer looking;
think, too, how effective If
fashioned into a gay ninety
silhouette.
They should carry an armful
Of chrysanthemums, tint e d
bronze, or, if you prefer, let
them carry a muff of tiny
golden-brown orchids.
I'd like one glistening, bronzed
bird, wings, tail and all perched
over the forehead, shooting high
up in the back and held onto
the head by a twist of velvet.
Again, of course, high must go
the hair, and, if you want to
give your attendants something
really useful as well as chic,
present them with a pair OF
stunning earrings that they can
wear first at your wedding.

OF Prevention

All through childhood Mrs.
Cades recommends a preventive,
rather than a curative, regime
for children's good looks.
Protection of the child'S skin
is even more necessary than
protection of the adults" she
says. "It begins with a thorough
soap-and-water cleansing" A
bland soap, she suggests. and
different brands of soap until
you find the right one. If Little
Sunbeam has especially dry skin,
use a little olive oil or cleansing
cream prescribed by physician.
