Good-by, my love, do not try. my

To feign a convincing sorrow.
You know in your heart you'll
be glad when I start,
For life begins tomorrow
Tomorrow you'll sing In your

And splash with q wild aban-

There'll be towels galore on the
dripping floor
And not a dry spot to stand On.
For a breakfast Of toast and q
Soft-boiled egg
You'll dirty a dozen dishes.
Cigarettes will burn to your un-

Wherever your lordship

And free from a wife's restrain

You'll taxi wherever vending.
With a cheerio and pay-as-you-

How you'll revel in careless

And the lonely nights, ali, the

same as a Z in another.
Well. perhaps the discrepan-
cies are not quite as broad as
that, but the situation has been
known to make mothers tear
their hair wondering how to
Judge what sizes their children
do really wear.
Children From
Four to Fourteen
The United States Bureau Of
Home Economics is conducting
q survey leading q cooperative
study in which typical American
boys and girls from four to IA
years of age are being measured
in is States and in the District
Of Columbia.
According to Ruth O'Brien,
chief Of the division Of textiles
and clothing, bureau Of Home
Economics, it is expected that
the results will give the body
measurement of children of
various ages but will no doubt
reveal a new basis for grading
the sizes of patterns and ready
made garments more SatiSfac-
tory than the present one which
is based on the age of the child.
Trained experts for this
work." said Miss O'Brien, "are
scientists in a comparatively
new field, termed anthropome-
try. First Of all they are trying
to determine which dimension is
the one from which one can
most often predict authorita-
lively the other measurements"
This, it develops, is the bust
ness of the statistician after the
anthropometrists have collected
their data.
Zone of the most interesting
things about this study" Miss
O'Brien said, "is the fact that it
has brought together for the
first time a group from varying

mashed turnips add three egg
whites beaten to a froth. Place
in a buttered ring mold. Set
the mold in a pan Of hot water
and cook in a slow oven for
20 to IS minutes.
Cover the top with buttered
paper to prevent the turnips
from turning dark. Cut the car
rots into fancy shapes or strips
and cook until tender. Drain
and mix with a rich white sauce.
Place the nodded turnipS on a

IT WILL soon be time to think
1 of the outdoor compilations
and about this time we usually
hear from girls who would
bleach their skin. The reason
for this is the anticipation Of
summer outfits Of the brief
variety, and every girl wants to
begin the season with a fair,
transparent loneliness.
While we are glad to see them
take so much interest and pride
in their appearance, we must
remind you to be satisfied with
your own natural skin coloring.
AS you know, there are many
blends whose natural skin may
be many shades darker than
the brunette, and there is no
way in which this type Of skin
can be made much lighter and
no reason for wanting it
changed. It is in harmony with
the hair, and eyes. and will al
ways be more attractive in its
natural shade.
It is possible. certainly, to i'm
prove and clear any skin but
any attempt at bleaching should
be reserved for the end OF the
summer. You know, there Is q
big difference in bleaching and
clearing the complexion and
there are few of us who from
time to time find the skin does
not respond to the hurried daily
treatments. So, for those, there

Mortified to discover was going
to have a baby. I came back to
him and again he offered to
marry me, but forbade me telling
my parents.
But he soon showed his true
colors. He got drunk and was so
enraged at me that I had to flee
through a window.
Left Him
At Last
Then I found out could
not reform such a spineles weak
ling. Although I loved him, and
still do, I hated to think what
I would do if he ever lifted a
drunken hand to our baby. So
I left him.
IT am home. My parents have
asked me never to return to him
regardless of any future promises
he may make. I spend my nights
crying in my pillow. I have no
one to hold me up as am i'll.
I haven't the love of a husband
to stand by me, as should have,
as carry his child. In a way
am at peace now with no tense,
fearful moments over what he
will do. My mother, who knows
the truth now, has forbid him

is a way Of removing the dull
drabness and bringing out all
the lovely skin tones that will
also be as much a bleaching
process as one should expect.
The pack will do this for one
and there are a variety Of good
packs already made up for i'm
mediate use. But, If possible,
it is advisable to go to a good
shop for a few such treatments.
The following will be an ex-
cellent pack for home use.
Mix a heaping tablespoonful
Kaolin powder (this can be pur-
chased in the drugstore) with
enough witch hazel to make q
thin paste. Cleanse the skin
thoroughly with cleansing
cream, then apply the pack all
over the face and neck, and
after five minutes remove with
clear water.
Pat dry and use a tissue cream
for a thorough massage. Then,
for the refreshing finish, place
three cubes Of ice in a bowl. and
add three tablespoonful Of
Orange Flower skin Lotion and
a teaspoonful Of strained lemon
Juice. Use fresh absorbent cotton
pads, to apply, and you will be
thrilled with the Improvement
Of your skin.
Send for "PGcks for Dry and
Oily Skin," "FGciGI Massage

groups and schools Of expert
ence. The manufacturers of pat
terms and of children's gar.
ments are vitality concerned in
the findings from the survey,
and, with mail-order houses,
statisticians, anthropometrists,
mothers, and educators are all
meeting for the first time in a
common interest"
The study is being made in as
signed regions, the assumption
being, no doubt with reason,
that the children Of a certain
section Of the country are Of
somewhat uniform size. It is
thought, for instance, that chill
dren Of the Middle Northwest
and the West Coast are larger
for their age than children Of
the Southern States.
So far 10000 children have
been measured. Miss O'Brien
says it is usually done through
the schools. The measures"
can finish Is or 20 children in q
day, depending somewhat upon
the speed with which they can
proceed without long waits be-
tween class periods, etc.
Takes
Short Time
Each child requires about IS
minutes, according to age and
size. They take them as they
come, believing that a better
procedure than making it in
anyway Selective.
Manufacturers in general are
welcoming the study with en-
thusiasm, Miss OBrien declared.
So far they have had two con-
ferences regarding it, under the
sponsorship of the American
Standards Association. The
third conference will take place
soon, when a decision will be
made on how to carry on the
remainder of the study, as it will
be possible then to predict
trends from the findings Of the
Statisticians up to date.
Headed by Miss O'Brien, the
study is under the direction of
DR.. Elinor P. Hunt. DR.. Charles
Snow, and DR.. Girshick. The
work has been made possible
through grants of Federal and
State WPA funds.
The following State universe
and colleges are cooperating:
University of Alabama, Institute
of Child Welfare of the Univer-
sity Of California, Colorado State

And Drunkenness
Dear Mr.. Antheil: I have
known all you write to US is
true, for a long time but I tried
hard not to believe it because
I loved the man so. A year ago
I became engaged to this man.
He had an excellent background
of family and education, being
a Harvard man. For many years
he held responsible positions.
He fell in love instantly, as ne
expressed it.
For the first three months
that I knew him I never saw
him sober. told him I wouldn't
marry him under the circum'
stances although he begged and
pleaded with me to do so. he
promised that with my help
he would overcome his habit.
"True to his word, he gave
up drinking. For three months
he was all I could ask. So l
went to live with him. I loved
him so and my parents were
dead against marriage. Then'
like a bombshell, he came home
to me drunk. There were tears
and reconcjliations. His temper
was none too good when sober
and worse when he was drunk.

but me. To this she promptly
replied she didn't think girls

with just each other unless
they were engaged. I then Sug-
gested a much better plan than
that. Marriage We have been

Leg And Arm Broken When
Thrown From Motorcycle

Miss Catherine Langhorn, %, OF
Washington, D. c., sustained broken
right leg and right arm Tuesday
afternoon about 3 o'clock, near Cor
man, when she was thrown from a
motorcycle, driven by Edward Beahm,
of Alexandria, Va. Beahm was only
slightly injured.
Miss Langhorn and Mr.. Beahm
were enroute to Washington and in
stead of crossing the bridge at Cor
mania and continuing on route 3D.,
they remained on the Garrett county
side of the river and took the cement
road which leads to Mt. Lake Park,
and which extends only about mile
from Gormania.
Coming suddenly to the end of the
cement road, Beahm said he threw on
the brakes, causing the motorcycle to
skid and strike the bank. Both were
taken to the Potomac Valley hospital,
Keyser, w. Va, in Bolden's ambulance
where Miss Langhorn remains a
patient.
