BOYS Under Sixteen
Never Wear Tails
And White Tie.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: should like
very much to include two young
cousins as junior ushers. As soon as
I read about junior ushers in your
column I Immediately promised these
boys that they could have such a
place in my "cdding. But We Rave
run into a problem. on account of
this promise. which is one of their
clothes. My wedding will be at $50
in the evening and the men are wear
ing tails. Boys Of II and IA don't
wear tails. do they?
Answer-Sixteen is as young as any
boy can wear tails. and even at that
he would have to be very tall for his
age. But your cousins could wear
tuxedos with white waistcoats and
have white boutonnieres. and al
though white gloves are never worn
with tuxedos. they might be on thi;
especial occasion
YEAR MRS. POST: My fiance and
like to be together in the eve
ming whenever We can. But this is a
small town and there are 50 few
things to do, and anyway We want to
save as much of our money as We pos
sibly can. Often my parents are out
on the evenings We want to stay home
Is it not all right for us to be alone
in the house? I mean. under the cir
cumstances have explained, do you
think anyone could possibly gossip?
Answer--Certainly, it is all right
for you to be alone in the house. II
1t is not proper for man to spend the
evening alone with the girl whom he
has asked to be his wife. then it would
be very hard to find a situation which

Dorothy Dix Says
Artificial Makeup Will Not
Make the Old Look Young.

trying to be young when they are old,
women fall between the stools and
lose completely out, for they miss the
pleasure Of both youth and age They
cannot stay young and they will not
grow old. so they have not the joy and
thrill Of one estate or the peace and
comfort OF the other.
The truth is that women are the
victims OF the mischievous propa-
ganda that has taught them to be-
lieve that retaining their youth is the
most important thing in the world,
the only thing that makes them at
tractive and interesting to men, the
only thing that makes life worth
while, and that the greatest misfor-
tune that can befa!l a woman is to
grow old. Far from this being the
case. age is frequently the best part
Of woman's life, just as the twilight
is the most beautiful part of the day.
But time is only kind to those who
welcome it as friend and who are
wise enough not to fight battle with
it that is bound to end in defeat.
Many women are far more beautiful
when they are old than they were
when they were young The years are
sculptor that chisels down rough
features and gives them symmetry
and grace Gray hair can become a
halo about face and make for it a
setting that no dyed hair can give.
And often through sheer goodness
and kindness an old woman becomes
beautiful because her soul shines
through her face like a light through
an alabaster vase
Furthermore, age brings so many
privileges. Ones job is done. The
heat and labor of the day are over
and a woman can sit with folded
hands and try to figure out what all
the shouting and the tumult has been
about. For the first time in her life
she has the leisure to commune with
her own soul and get acquainted with
herself And that is no mean pleasure
of itself.

MISS STANSBURY told me that
where they all. felt that being
able to carry hot food on a plane was
quite an achievement, they also real
lied that there was still room for
improvement, as thermos jugs did not
keep food piping hot up in the clouds
for any length of time 1t may be
necessary to put food aboard a plane
several hours before the passengers
will be ready to eat, and that is what
has made serving hot food difficult
Miss Stansbury told me the other day
that even this has been overcome in
the last few months.
Now hot foods are packed in cleo
trical containers that are rushed
aboard the outgoing plane and inn
mediately plugged in, just as you
would do at a buffet supper party.
Meats are put at the bottom. then the
vegetables and so on. up to the rolls,
which are placed at the top, for they
only need little heat to keep them
warm
But even with all this efficiency,
Miss Stansbury says that the 40-pas-
senger planes, that will be ready for
use in some months, will have built
in two-burner electric stoves, which
does seem bit incredible So far
there Is Slight" hitch to this stove,
that has to be figured out within the
next few months, and that is that
something requiring only minutes
to cook at sea level takes one hour
to cook 10000 feet up in the air. I'M
agine waiting one hour for an omelet
to cook! I for one wish the men
lots Of luck who have this problem
to work out! These new planes will
also have an electric toaster and an
electric shaker for whipping up your
favorite milkshake.
The stove problem isn't the only
headache in this march of culinary
progress in the air, for Miss Patricia
McMullen. dietitian. has the job Of
figuring out recipes that can be
cooked at great attitudes 1t seems
that what is perfect dish ordinarily
won't be the same high up in the
clouds.
The only "maitre dairliner," Mr.
Donald Magarrell. has really contrib
uted something to the comfort Of the
air passenger that the railroads would
do we'll to adopt That is q cup and
saucer that will stand at an angle
without tipping over. and Is also drip
proof! What a joy it must be to
know that there is no chance Of
spilling any coffee on your new travel
ing outfit!

to laugh at her or cry over her. She

The only person that the old woman
