By Beatrice Fairfax

Dear Miss Fairfax:
My problem is an age-old one
(the Eternal Triangle). I'm
"a, and for three years I have
been in love with a married
man twenty years my senior,
but who looks and acts fifteen
years younger than he really is.
He has a three-year-old son to
whom he is devoted, but his
wife doesn't love him, and has
told him she only married him
because he wouldn't let her
alone.
He hasn't any money, nor is
he good looking, and he has only
a fairly good position. I have
a college education and am con-
sidered good looking. Should I
try every possible means to win
him now, or give up my position
and hope that some day will
have him for my husband.

White Is Tricky Decorating Problem

If you make a successful WhlCe
room you have achieved a work
Of art. 1t is needless to say
that white needs accent colors.
These should bear a strong basic
relationship to one another to
strengthen the white and rob it
of monotony. 1t is probably
prudent to restrict the white
in your room to an incidental
place, in the background of
prints, pictures, mats and &C
cessories such as flower pots,
cigarette boxes, ashtrays and in
dividual rugs.

raw fruits and vegetables fresh pineapple cut
in half from the top to the base with the stiff
leaves left on was followed out and then stuffed
with the chopped pulp. grapes, strawberries and
orange, topped with cherries and mint sprigs in
the center, and around this were grouped little
molds or leafy bits of fresh fruits and vegetables
over which we shook a tasty sauce of some
piouant mixture, also on the fruits and other
vegetable juices.

herself as beautiful is depressing. What is the
use of having all the possibilities at hand if she
will not use them intelligently?"
But" we asked, do you not find the modern
girl and woman quick to take up all of the beauty
requisites as they are presented and are they
not much better looking than the girls of for
mer years?"
"Ah, yes. our modern girl who is alert to her
looks and charm is indeed perfect. She knows
there can be no lasting beauty without good
health and plenty of activity, both mental and
physical. She has learned what to eat for
beauty's sake"

Add one cup canned peas, season

Dilemma

You have broken my heart a
thousand times
With an unkind word or two,
And mended my heart a thou
sand times
AS none but you could do.
You have played with my heart
as child with a toy,
Leaving it worn and rended,
Then run back later when tired
of your play
And done your best to
mend it.
You have taken my poor dis.
carded heart,
Brushed off the CRIME and
dirt,
Then fondly, tenderly played
with it,
AS if to make up for the hurt.
I've tried my best to fathom it
out
But it's all so confused in my
mind.
Do you love me most when
you're breaking my heart,
Or when you are tender and
kind?

White, which is all colors or
no colors as you like. is still one
Of the most modern notes in
decoration. At no time in the
past has it been considered
proper to use as the dominant
theme in rooms. 1t is curiously
tricky. In the first place it
falls into innumerable shades,
creamy, blush. The texture of
walls and fabrics will give it
overtoneS which throw it into
specific categories. You must
have q sure eye, TO work with 1t.

Are Your
Birthstone

If your birthday is in January
you may drape yourself with
glittering chains of garnetS. AL
though you may not be aware OF
it. there are many kinds of gar
nets. so many varieties in fact
that the garnet is often mis-
taken for other stones.
The most common variety is
the pyrope, which is frequently
called Bohemian garnet. Pyrope
derives from the Greek word
meaning fire-eyed, and the gem
closely approaches the ruby in
color. They are sold as "Ari-
zona, Montana or Cape Ruby"
A slight yellow tinge in this va
riety affects its beauty and
value. 1t is usually free from
flaws and a dark-red quality is
found in great abundance in the
mountains about so miles from
Prague in Czechoslovakia. This
is the only source sufficiently i'm
portant to support an established
industry, although those found
in Arizona, Utah and South
Africa are the most valuable
gems. Less valuable varieties
are found to some degree in al
most every country.
FOUND IN INDIA
The almandine garnet is deep
crimson and violet or columbine
red. The finest stones are found
in India, where they are highly
valued by the natives and re-
tained in their country, as they
have a religious significance.
Alaska furnishes considerable
amount. While not of gem
quality, they are freely pur-
chased by tourists.
The grossularite garnet sup
plies two very interesting varie-
ties. 1t takes its name from a
green variety sometimes known
as gooseberry garnet, since gros.
sularia is a botanical name
which refers to gooseberry. This
green variety often approaches
a jadelike green and is deceiv-
ingly sold as AFRICAN jade"

and beauty. Everything
was so attractive we
will try to give you a
picture of the service:
First, there was a
glass of juice which was
made of an unusual
and delicious blending
of several vegetables.
There were two differ
ent colors we noticed,
some we're served with
the pale pink and others
had a ruby tint liquid.
We were told one was
very low in calories
while the other con-
tanned more. Both we're
so attractive in contrast
to the turquoise blue
plates.
There was also a spe-
cial consomme made Of
vegetables and seemed
to be the only hot food
served, except the crisp
rolls and tasty biscuits
and butter, both free
from fat and low in
calorieS.

ENGAGEMENT
ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
/. Is it customary fer the
boys family to take presents to
an engagement announcement,
where only the family of the
boy and girl will be present?
2. Should the fiance send a
corsage or other flowers to his
fiancee? B.
1. It is quite customary
(though not at all "required")
for the members of the fiance's
immediate family to give his
fiancee engagement presents.
And these may be given at any
time at the announcement
gathering if they wish.
2. It is pretty well taken for
granted that the fiance sends
a corsage for his fiancee to
wear at the engagement party.

BY Donna Ordce
DURING the holiday
~ season we had the
pleasure of lunching
with the very gracious
Madam Helena Ru-
binstein, world famous
beauty authority, and
we are sure you will be
interested to hear her
advice to the woman
and girl who would be
something more than
just passably good look
ing.
Never have I seen a
face that did not have
some vital beauty, but
alas" says the petite
madam, II have seen
so many thousands of
these faces, that for the
lack of some special
treatment or correct
makeup, must be claSsed
as ordinary and COM
monplace.
TT is pride, and a
lot of imagination, that
makes one attractive,
and a girl who will not
be interested in herself
and cannot think of
