Progress and character of a na-
ton is eXemplified by the quality
Of its Womanhood. Maintenance of
high moral and intellectual stand
ards depends upon proper training
and encouragement of adoleScent
girls. One of the most effective
agencies engaged in carrying on this
great work is the organization
known as the Girl Reserves.
Purpose of the unit, stated in the
words OF members, is TO Find and
Give the Best and their slogan is
To Face Life Squarely."
According to Mrs. Olive Gordon
Miller, El Centre secretary of the
YWCA. the name Girl Reserves
indicates a two-fold goal; first. of
enabling each girl to build within
herself such reserves of intelli-
gence, poiSe. skill and human un-
derStandine that she will be able
to realize to the utmost her capa-
city TO live a rich life for herself
and for those about her; second.
to build into the group such re-
serves of knowledge, strength and
awareneSS of life that they will be
prepared to serve their respective
communities
CLUBS Here
Girl Reserve clubs operating in
this city, include large units in
Central Union high school, Doug
lass high school and additional
groups in other educational institu-
tions.

planned to meet the specific needs

On Giving
Intimate Friends
OF Bride Only
Ones Invited.
BY EMILY POST.

nEAR MRS. POST: want to give =
shower for q lifelong friend. but
don't know how to begin the list
Of guests, or, more truthfully, I mean
don't know just where to end it. The
girl has cousins. sisters-in-law and
other relatives her own age, besides
many friends. And Is one expectd to
invite out-of-town relatives and
friends even when there Is only remote,
or perhaps. no chance that they could
be present?
Answer-It Is very hard to answer
this definitely because showers are
friendly, neighborly customs that fol-
low no prescribed rules. In fact, the
only definite rule that exists is that
the immediate family of the bride
should not give shower for her. The
typical list is composed OF the particu-
lar friends Of the guest OF honor.
Usually the guests are also friends Of
the hostess, but not always. In other
words. the hostess might very well in
vite some one whom she herself knows
slightly, but whom the guest Of honor
knows very we'll. but she would not
invite her own intimate friends who
do not know the guest of honor. How
many are invited depends somewhat
upon the number Of showers that are
to be given her, then you would ma
turally make it as general as you can
and perhaps include her relatives and
the bridegroom's relatives as well rs
those people who are friends Of hers
and Of you. On the other hand, II her
relatives are strangers to you and his
relatives are also strangers to you, they
might be left out because 1t would be
supposed that each group would give
showers for her themselves. People
who are at . distance would not be
asked In any case. But as said above,
you must not invite anybody who is
not an intimate friend OF, the bride
or q very intimate friend Of the BRIDE
groom's family and for this reason in
terested in the bride.
DEAR MRS. POST: Is q brides maid
of honor expected to give . party
in the brides honor? And does the
fact that this attendant Is coming from
out Of town to take part in the wedding
alter the obligation, II there is one?
Answer-There Is never any obliga-
ton on the part OF any one to give
party for the bride. If one Of her at
tendants, or perhaps all of them to-
gether. can give dinner or . dance
or any other type Of party. and would
like to. that would be very nice thing
to do but 1t is not expected, even. One
who Is coming from out Of town would
certainly have no obligation to give
anything whatsoever. On the contrary,
1t would be very unusual for her to
assume the role Of hostess. As mat
ter Of fact, parties are more usually
given tor. than By, the members Of the
bFidkl partD.

Another powder perfume combina-
ton has just made its debut. This
one combines we'll known and very
popular brand of face powder with
an Introductory fiacon of perfume
which is being brought out by the
same house. The perfume, In what
is called "preview size" should be
especially nice for summer use, for
it's light. in q fiowery sort Of way.
In other words we've gathered that
it's intended to suggest old-fashioned
gardens, moonlight, etc.

metics appears = special lipstick

result of much intensive research to
provide lipstick Of exceptional tex
ture and indelibility
Our nomination for smart trick Of
the week goes to a special offering
by well known cosmetic firm. It's q
a black and-gold baked enamel COM
pact (the baked enamel is supposed
to prevent scratching) containing
loose powder. cream rouge and two
shades Of eye shadow. The case Is
very attractive and it's really handy
to have all YOUR make.up neatly
combined in such a small space Par
ticularly nice for use in the evening
when you have to be burdened with
four or five separate articles And
here's tip: Tell your favorite male
about it-hell probably be so de-
lighted at the prospect Of carrying

pocket that he'll buy 1t for you with
