For the feminine members, how
ever, there are number of good
resolutions that are not only wise
to make, but easy and beneficial to
keep. They concern fashion-Ways
and means of improvement-and
should combine a determination to
make the most of natural beauty
and enhance it as much as possible.
1t really isn't difficult or ex-
pensive task. So much of good
grooming costs nothing-and so
often it is neglected.
Consider Your
Natural Charm.
Resolution No. l might say, IT
firmly resolve to take care of my
hair This may include several
things. First, you will keep it scrup-
ulously clean and shining. Second,
it will be studied by an expert hair
dresser to determine what coiffure
is most becoming. If you are at
tractive with an "upsweep," so be
it, if not, for goodness sake leave
1t down! Last, but not least, when
you find an attractive coiffure, keep

extra trips to the beauty shop-it's
worth it.

When you arrive at the resolu-
tion about your clothes, be firm.
Decide that you will resist foolish
impulses to buy something that
you know is not suitable for you.
Select styles that will f1atter and

Remember that what we call "high
styles" are not ones that may he

are the extreme modes-the fads

BY EMILY POST.


Dear Mrs. Post-My little girl Is
not we'll enough this winter to go
to school, and her teacher who has
always been so kind to her comes to
our house after school hours, several
days each week, to review lessons
that I have gone over with the child
during the day. No mention of
money has as yet come up. The
teacher offered Of her own free will
to do this since our Mary Is very
bright and not very strong physically
and the teacher said she couldn't
bear to see her kept back next year
with the younger children. What
can do for her? Shall I give her
a present of money, or may ask her
her charges or should I just give
her another sort of present? I
hardly think thank you" seems
adequate compensation. We are
not very well-of, and she doesn't
have to be told this.
Answer: I think you should put
this on a perfectly plain business
basis. In other words, of course
ask her her charges. If she pro-
tests, say that you couldn't continue
taking her time regularly unless she
would be willing to make it a busi-
ness arrangement. This is only fair.
Teachers salaries are in many places
not very big, and even small ad-
d1tlonal sum might be very welcome.
In any case, If I were you 1 would
talk 1t over with her frankly, explain
to her (what is plainly true) that
your income is small but at the same
time 1t Is not fair to her to let her
lengthen her schoolday work three
days a week without giving her
Whatever 1t Is that you can afford.

Dear Miss Post: I'm a girl of IA
and am in the first year of high
school. I'd like to know for myself
and for my classmates what YOU
think Of girls our age using lip
stick-at school and at parties.
AnsWer-Lipstick does not seem
appropriate in school. In fact. in
many schools its use is forbidden.
Even when you go to parties YOU
should not put on enough of it to
look artificial. A very little of the
right tint, so that it merely empha-
sizes your own natural color. could
not be criticized. But a very Young
face with painted mouth would be
horrible.
Dear Mrs. Post: My son is a junior
ana OF course his wife and 1 have
the same name They live in our
same ne1ghborhood and there are
many times it is necessary for me to
introduce my daughter-in-law and
also many times Of the day when I
speak OF her to one of my neighbors
therefore. Cd Will you tell me how
should introduce her; (2) How
speak OF her, and 90 What to call
her In front of other people? She is
not young and I don't know whether
1t sounds right for me to call her
by first name or not.
Answer: Cd To strangers or in
business: "Mrs. John Jones, junior;
to social acquaintance, my son
Johns wife" or to friends, Johns
(or whatever you call him) wife" (2)
The same. 90 Mary" What else
could you call her?
Dear Mrs. Post: Are white candles
permissible on a wedding breakfast
table? I thought that they might
be allowed on this occasion since
they would, I think, dress up the
table.
Answer: I'm sorry but really they
are not correct-unless breakfast is
before full daylight! Or the dining
room is otherwise dark.

Dear Mrs. Post: What Is the pur-

Evening star., 1938-12-28

A number Of the readers Of this
column have taken exception to an
article recently published in it
in which I expressed my unalter-
able belief that, inasmuch as
women are not only human beings
but also citizens Of the United
States Of America. they are, as such,
entitled under its Constitution to
the right to the pursuit of life,
liberty and job.
My esteemed opponents tell me
that I am all wrong in my views
and that what's the matter with
this country is the working woman.
They point out triumphantly that
there are 100000 women engaged
in gainful occupations. and that
each of these women is getting a
pay envelope that belongs by right
to a man. They further depose that
womans place is in the home and
not in store or Office; that the
only infant industry in which her
services should be employed is filling
the cradle. And lastly, if not
leastly, they are strong for a man
having a monopoly on supporting
the family.
This is a grand platform of
woman's privileges and perquisites
on which 80 per cent of our sisters
would gladly leap if only it existed
in reality instead Of in the minds
of idealists. It is a state of affairs
that should go along with the
chicken in the pot and two cars in
a garage of which a French and an
American politician both dreamed,
but which, unfortunately, no one
has been able to materialize as yet.

time clocks for fun, who would

Accent Hands
With Proper
Nail Polish
Favor the Shade
That Flatters
Skin Tone
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

If you have been slightly bewil-
dered by this seasons color palette
in clothes and makeup, you might
follow the logical advice of lead
ing authority on manicuring prepa-
rations. This woman advises you to
dramatic your hands by painting
your nails with colors which def
nitely enhance their beauty, and to
ignore the other shades!
BY so doing, she claims, you are
consciously selecting the color key
to your entire ensemble. for you
may quickly Judge whether shade
is becoming to your skin tone the
moment you paint it on your nails!
And I agree with her. as it is
well-known fact that all colors are
not flattering to all skin tones. Take
for instance the olive skinned lady.
The popular blue-reds only detract
from her beauty instead of en-
hancing it. She should choose clear
deep reds and snub the purplish
tones.
There are a few general rules to
follow in selecting nail polish shades
II you wish them to do things" for
your hand beauty. Always remem-
Der that color should do as much
for your hands as eye-shadow and
lipstick do for your FACET should
pronounce their beauty! And be-
cause bright polishes attract foreign
eyes to the tips of your fingers, thus
making your hands appear more slim
and shapely, they have grown
strongly in milady's favor.
Generally speaking, blue reds
should give the hands soft, fragile
appeal. Clear reds make the hands
look whittier. and orange reds, be-
cause they are daring, give femme
fatale" effect.
But specifically speaking. these
three color groups have many ex-
ceptions to the general rules. Blue
veined hands appear forid with
orange-red nails. and a blue-red
shade could never make an olive
toned hand look fragile! Sc the
color you wear depends entirely
upon your current skin tone, and as
there are SO many, many nail polish
shades from which to choose, you
should do a little experimenting in
order to discover those which will
be most flattering.
On most cosmetic counters there
sre nail shade charts, or artificial
f1ngernails (Which you may actually
try on over your OWN, painted in
the various offered shades. Such
devices simplify your purchase and
at the same time give you a reliable
idea as to which colors you should
wear inyour clothes. Stick to those
shades and glory In the knowledge
that you are dressing harmoniously

tions on how to select nail polish
shades to flatter your skin tone.

Turkey Soup

THIS IS the best way to make
your post-holiday turkey soup: Put
the carcass, bones, skins and stuff
ing into a large kettle; add celery
leaves, several onion slices, some
cooked carrots, green beans or peas.
Cover to a depth of 6 inches with
boiling water. Simmer two hours
or longer in a covered kettle, then
strain through heavy sieve. Re-
heat and serve.

The nominating committee,
headed by Ann Minovitz, and
including Charlotte Toploff.
Ruth Hankin, Geraldine Cohn
and Miriam Zeltzer, will an

candidates may be nominated
from the floor. The competition
is the keenest since the group
was organized two and one-half
years ago.
Miss Irene Saloman, who has
been the only president so far.
will retire-and the membership
is sorry to lose her splendid
leadership. During her time,
the organization has grown
from a handful Of girls to one
Of the largest young women'S
organizations in Washington,
now boasting a membership Of
365 girls. According to their
constitution, the president can
serve but two terms.
RETIRING OFFICERS
Other officers who are retir-
ing are Dorothy Rather Simon,

tary; Florence Sachs, financial
secretary; Hilda Rapport, re-
cording secretary, and Rose Pra-
ger, treasurer. Nine members

for the support Of the Jewish
Consumptives' Relief Society, OF
Denver, Colo, where tubercular
persons from all parts Of the
country, including non-Jewish,
are given disqualification. There
are now rine WaShingtonianS
at the Denver Sanitarium. 1t
costs an average of $1,000 a year

Last year the Junior Group
here pledged a goal of $1,000 to
be sent to the Sanitarium. Their
contribution was presented to
the national president at the
convention in New York.
This year, with the institution
needing so much more money,
the goal was set at $4,000. So
far three-fourths of the goal has
already been raised through
various functions of the group.
Also, the girls have already
started earning their $40 tickets
for next years donor affair.
Each girl tries to get this money
through wiener roasts, cocktail
parties, sales and other activ.
