At this time Of the year we are

At this time of the year we are
ali confronted with the problem
of how to keep looking fresh as a
daisy when in reality We feel like
yesterdays gardenia. But, it can be
accomplished, at least to a limited
degree.
Cleanliness and beauty 20 hand
in hand and cleanliness is the key
note to summer loneliness. No mat
ter how dashingly you may be
dressed, in your crisp new dotted
Swiss and big leghorn hat, you
won't make a very alluring i'm
preston if your powder is caked
on your nose, your lipstick smeared
beyond the normal line Of your
mouth, and your mascara streaked
across your cheeks.
The secret of looking fresh on the
hottest days lies to a great extent
in the proper use of makeup. Few
Of US look our best without a bit
Of artificial aid. But when using
makeup during hot weather, apply
It with a very light hand. A faint
sprinkling of powder lasts Just as
long as a barrel of flour and GER
calmly is less likely to cake when
your face becomes damp. A bare
tracing of lipstick gives a much
cooler effect than a heavier appIica-
ton and will not smudge as easily.
Mascara is best forgotten entirely
in the Summer in warmer climates,
unless you find some that is guar
anteed waterproof. A light appli-
cation of rouge is recommended, as
700 much color may add to the hot,
Wilted appearance.
To you beauty-conscious women,
need not stress the Importance of

Lucille BeIlamy
Becomes Bride of
Elmer Graham

Miss Lucille Bellamy, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. G. Bellamy of
682 Iglehart avenue, became the
bride of Mr.. Elmer r. Graham, son
of Mrs. Bessie Smith of St. Paul
and Mr.. Oscar Graham of Omaha,
Nebraska, in a beautiful and i'm
pressive service at Pilgrim Baptist
Church, St. Paul.
The service was read by Rev. L.
W. Harris, pastor, at $40 p. M,
Saturday, July 2. The bridal music
from Lohengrin and Mendelssohn
was played by Mrs. Bertha King at
the organ. Miss Ethel McGhee
sang "All For You" and "Ah!
Sweet Mystery of Life" The
church was decorated with tall
vases of cut flowers and ported
plants.
Father Accompanied Bride
The bride, who entered with her
father, wore a gown of white silk
net over satin with fitted bodice
and finished with a tiny row of
buttons at the natural waistline in
back from which fell a three-yard
train. Her veil was finger-tip
length of tulle in two-tier effect
caught with row of gardenias at
the crown. She wore white satin
slippers and carried an arm bou-
quet of white brides roses, snap
dragons, asters, and baby breath.
Her only jewelry was a strand of
pearls.
Attendants
The brides attendants were Mrs.
James Toliver, cousin, as matron
of honor, Mrs. Stanley Grigsby,
sister-in-law, and Miss Adele Ora
ham as bridesmaids. Mrs. Tohver's
gown was pink net and lace over
satin with blue sash with which
she wore pink satin sandals, and a
halo in a matching shade caught
with tea roses.
Mrs. Grigsby's gown was blue
net and lace over taffeta with a
matching halo and blue sandals.
Miss Graham's gown was of or
child organza in readingdote style
with blue trim with which she wore
white satin sandals and an orchid
tulle halo. All of the attendants
carried arm bouquets of sweet
peas, asters, snapdragons, baby
breath and maiden hair fern.
Little Miss Janice Boyd was the
flower girl. She was cute in a
long yellow organdy over taffeta
with yellow roses in her hair tied
with a satin ribbon. She carried a
basket of rose petals.

bride, was the best man, and the

Benefit Most by Marriage.

gers finds himself unaccountably
dropped when he takes unto himself
. wife.
On the other hand, 1t promotes a
womans social availability for her to
be married. for it not only makes her
a member in good and regular stand
ing of the League of Matrons, but it
also provides her with standing date
and saves hosteSses from the bother
Of trying to shanghai some unwilling
bachelor into being her escort. Also,
for some unknown reason, it bulls her
stock so that the woman who would be
a homely old maid If she were single
becomes handsome young married
woman. And, likewise the knowledge
that woman has a husband and
can't inveigle them into marrying her
makes men feel it safe to show her
attentions that they would not dare
to do if she were single.
If marriage goes blooey and ends
in divorce, it is the man who has to
pay and pay and pay the woman who
may have made his life a hell on
earth.
But, if the bachelor has a better
time in his youth than the spinster,
when they grow old the tables are
turned and it is the old maid who has
her innings. Somehow she manages
to keep up her human contacts bet
ter than the old bachelor does. She
makes home for herself, or fits
into somebody's family. Women are
kinder and moro tender to women
than men are to men and sense-their
need of companionship more. And 50

figure that so often is the old bachelor

Manners
of the
Moment

WHAT, I want to know, is law
abiding pedestrian to do, If he
gets half way across the street and
the light turns green? 1t happens,
you know. When you start out, you
think proudly that you have the lights
with you, and no harm can come,
and isn't modern civilization wonder
full. And then just as you reach the
crucial point in the crossing, the
lights go back on you.
You might keep right on walking
with the self-righteous feeling thas
1t wasn't your fault, if it weren't that
the drivers of cars were so law abid-
ing. too. The second the light turns,
they start coming at you. They seem
to figure that a pedestrian or two Is
no obstacle. They'll even take pleas
ure in yelling at the pedestrian that
the lights are against her. AS if she
didn't know.
The only thing to do is to try to
stand precisely in the middle of the
road, make yourself as thin as
possible, and then shut your eyes. The
drivers may leave you standing there
unharmed. There's hope.
And if your hair has turned gray
IN the process, you'd probably better
give up crossing streets altogether.
Make up your mind to be a one-sided
girl. JEAN.

The COifure
For Spring
.Chapeaux
Brush the Hair Up
And Pile Curls
High on Head.
By ELSIE PIERCE.
DIDN'T this column tell you long ag'

nIDN'T this column tell you long ago
that high curls are a high FASH
ion? The Page Boy has definitely
sung its swan song. and the Longtime
coiffure has heard its death knell.
And now. for spring, high curls
command the picture so completely
that Paris is claiming credit for the
fashion and American hair designers
point to the fact that they started
pointing coiffures upward months ago.
So long as they agree on the grandeur
Of the style We have no quarrel with
hairdressers on either side of the ocean.
Anyway, the whole point Of this les
son is: If you've got an eye on a new
spring hat, you'll put up your hair.
Because sailors and Watteau bonnets
and little pill boxes perched on top of
the head seem to be entirely at peace
with the brushed up high curls, where
as the long back drop does a tug-of-
war with the new chapeauy. Person.
ally, hat or no hat, We love the lovely
lady look that the high hair-do's give
every woman who wears them.
You're warned that you'll feel just
bit naked about the nape at first, but
you'll soon get used to it. You are also
warned that the high curls need just
as much upkeep as did the ends Of
your long bob. All that Is made very
easy, however. If you practice shooting
bobby pins into the curls at night. Try
playing with an automatic bob pin
curler, or better yet invest in the new
beauty kit that holds two curriers', spe-
cial lotion and professional hair
dresser's comb. If you don't 60 into
competition with your favorite hair
dresser at least you will be prolonging
the life Of his handiwork. Then brush
up your curls. hold your head high
and what compliments you'll have
heaped on your it!

Stripes are very good this season.
They appear in suits and coats as
we'll as dresses. From pin stripes to
bolder stripes, in tweed they are shown
both in suits and toppers, and in
jackets with plain skirts. In the

plain and novelty weaves is smartly
expressed. It makes vivid and color
full casual suit with its skirt of brown
gabardine, and jacket in the new
longer length in a bumpy woolen
that combines several beige, brown
and yellow tones A taffeta scarf fills
in the neck, completely hiding the

the blouse If desired. This suit also
comes in other color combinations and
is from Washington shop.

nation for the striped suit 1t comes
in three-piece outfit with a short
jacketed black suit under a black and
white striped topper, and in a two

that look well with dainty lingerie

It will be noted that the cape suit
is being worn again. The one shown
with the plaid cape over blue two

inently displayed in one of the i'm
portant Fifth avenue shops, and was
