occasions. Like all two-piece styles,
this dress is extremely easy to
make; the pattern includes a de-

tweed. wool crepe, plaid or flannel,
and make yourself this charming

your old partner before sailing off
with the new one. If you're stuck
with really impossible dancer, sug-
gesting sitting out the rest of the
dance may help the situation. De-
velop sudden attack of blisters
or discover tack in your shoe. You
have the privilege of cutting short
dance when you feel you must;
boy is denied this privilege.
A girl should never refuse to dance
with one boy and then promptly ac-
cept the invitation of another. To
do so would be rude.
And Here Are
Some for Men.
Read the tips for the girls who
get around-then give ear to these
special suggestions:
Avoid abusing the cutting-in privi-
lege. Wait until dances are well
started before you cut and never
cut back until several fellows have
succeeded you.
You ask for a dance by merely
saying, May have this dance?" or
some simple variation of those words.
When it's over, thank your fair
partner.
When collisions occur, you do the
apologizing. When a girl falls over
your feet with monotonous regu-
larity, continue to play the hero,
taking the blame.
Take sporting chance otter
dancing with the less-popular girl
It's the smooth thing to do!

Protect Skin
When on a
Ski Trip
Winter Sunburns
Just as Bad as
Summer Ones
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

II you are just a Wobbly beginner,
you had better take it from old-time
devotees. They will tell you that
nifty sunburn can be easily and
quickly acquired when you are on
skis! The reflected glare of the
snow can raise just as much havoc
with your skin and lips as the
intense rays of the summer sun.
Unfortunately. the exhilaration Of
gliding over the crisp white snow
at breakneck speed has its price.
That price is necessary precaution
in the care of your skin before you
don your skis. Sharp cutting winds
will crack your lips and chap your
face, and sun basking after the last
jump has been taken can give you
the most painful of burns, besides
making you most unlovely to look at !!
So experienced winter beauties
resort to almost the same aids for
protection as they use during the
hot broiling days of summer. And
this is how that happened:
Back in 1896, when the winter
sports of the Olympics were on in
full swing, one clever contestant
discovered that a suntan cream
served admirably for protection
from snowburn. So he passed
around the emollient as an efflca-
cious sun screen. 1t worked! So
now many skiers pack this very
same cream in their weekend kit!
They also use an antiseptic lip
stick so the delicate tissue of their
lips will not be bruised by the cold
and wind This colorless protective
is splendid foundation for cos
tune lipstick and even if you are
not skier, you will want to have
one on hand (and also the cream
for the near-Zero days ahead of us!
One more little word of advice
before you sport those new Christ
mas skis! If you have been some
what of hothouse plant the last
months, and you are going to a
mountain where it is several degrees
colder, it might be we'll for you to
take along a bottle of olive oil or
a special skin lubricant. Rub either
well into your skin before slipping
into your woolies, so as to keep your
skin from getting CONCEALED and
taking! Your body skin will flake
just as your scalp, if it does not
have enough natural or locally ap-
piled oil.

Manners
of the
Moment

If you find yourself sitting at the
same banquet table with strangers
land it often happens at those BAN
quets for alumni or for causes, there
is simply no sense in trying to pre-
tend that the strangers are mere
specks on the far walls of the room.
You might just as well accept the
fact that tickets to the same BAN
quet serve as an introduction, and
start in your conversation with the
fruit cocktail. Even If your play
mate proves to be bore, it's better
to try to talk than to sit staring
down at his studs.
The problem is, usually, the break
ing of the ice. Some say it's up to
the lady, and some say it's up to
the gent. say it's up to the first
person who can think of something
to say. But if, by the end of the
grapefruit, neither one has thought
of something to say, Id suggest you
try squirting a bit of fruit juice in
the strangers face. 1t will give
you a start of some kind.
And, as I said at the beginning,
you should get a start. JEAN.

My keiehbor Says:

Black locust, red cedar, white
oak and butternut make the
best fence posts, as they are
durable. If softwoods, such as
maple, Eastwood, poplar, beech
or birch, are used, it is best to
creosote them.
Almost all fruit stains may
be removed by soaking them in
boiling water. In case any
member Of the family upsets
cup of chocolate or tea, use cold
water to remove the spot. In
the case Of coffee, pour boiling
water from a height: brushing
the stain with borax before
hand helps.
When you're frosting cakes be
sure to have them free from
any loose crumbs. In smooth
ing the icing, use a spatula
which is frequently dipped in
warm water.
To restore freshness to faded
rugs and carpets, wipe vigorous
" with q wet cloth which has
been wr,1ng from q strong salt
water solution. Ants can be
driven out of the house by
sprinkhng salt wherever they
gather.

The Nursery
School for
Children
Companionship of
Others the Same
Age Necessary
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Should a child 60 to nursery
school? Yes, If he needs to. And
when does he need to? When he
cannot get from home the training,
experiences and associations he
needs for healthy, normal growth.
A child who lives with grown peo-
pie needs the association of little
children his own age. Grown peo-
pie are likely to weigh him down
with their ponderous personalities,
their mature ideas, their WEAKNESS.
No grown person can be a playmate,
an intimate friend, of a child. A
child needs to meet the mind of
another child in order that his mind
may be nourished and stimulated.
The lonely child living among
grown-up people ought to benefit by
attending good nursery school.
When a mother has to work and
is compelled to leave her little child
at home with an aging grandparent,
or a busy housemaid, that child
would be better off in a good nurs-
cry school. There he would have
the Understanding care that would
allow him freedom within the law,
association with minds of his own
level, social experiences that would
discipline him to cooperation with
others. Best of all, his mental and
physical health would be insured.
When a mother does her own
work and has q child or two of the
runabout age, she Is put to it to
keep them happily and profitably
occupied. It is next to impossible
to attend to the washing, cooking,
mending, telephone, marketing, the
thousand and one demands made
upon a mother, and at the same
time give the necessary attention to
the active child. He will get into
mischief, disappear and get into
danger, in spite of all his mother
can do. The strain on her is Sc
we're, and the effect on the child not
always as good as we would like.
For such a child the half day in
the nursery school is godsend. His
mother gets chance to work and
maybe an hour to rest, while the
child gains in every way.
Nursery schools are fine institu-
tions when they are fine institu-
tions. One should make very, very
cautious and careful investigation
of the school before sending q child
there. The head Of the school
should be woman trained for her
work. That means she should be
graduated from a school that GER
tifles her work, her knowledge and
her character. Some well-meaning
people think that an affection for
children is about all the equipment
they need for opening a nursery
school. That Is not so.
The head of such school needs
to know about the care and devel-
opment of child from birth on
ward. She needs to be trained in
hygiene, dietetics, nursing, psychol-
ogy, education. That means years
of study. And she needs experience.
It is one thing to pass an examina-
ton In the required subjects and
quite another to apply that knowl-
edge to living children.
Great care is needed in the nurs-
cry school. The little ones are to
receive lasting impressions, lasting
attitudes and habits. What they
learn in the nursery school is going
to affect their standards of behavior
all of their lives. Send them to
nursery school If necessary, but
make certain that the school is
equipped for its very serious mission.

branch, simple gift or two can
make a perfect Christmas-if your
memory is good.
II yours is house of grown ups,
you may indulge in decorations and
arrangements that are sophisticated
and elaborate. These may be done
several days ahead of time and still
be in order when the holiday arrives.
However, if yours is a home with
several children, you know from ex-
perience that your decorations might
resemble many others, 50 you will be

Dorothy Dix Says
Husband Should Add These to
Yesterdays List of Rules

To the list of rules for keeping
your wife's love, which were pre-
sented yesterday, husbands should
add these and assure greater hap
piness:
Sixth. Give your wife an eve
ming out every week and vacation
once a year. Even the hired girl
rates that. Don't delude yourself
into thinking that all work and no
play makes Jane bright girl who
enjoys working IA hours day, with
no Sundays or holidays off, and that
she gets all the thrills she desires
out of cooking and scrubbing and
baby tending.
Seventh. Give your wife a square
deal about money matters. Treat
her as you do your business part
ner, instead of as slave who works
for her board and clothes. The
woman who makes a man COM
Portable home. who bears and rears
his children, who nurses him when
he is sick, who entertains his COM
pany and makes a social position
for him. who pinches pennies to
help him get a start in the world,
works more hours than any other
laborer on earth and earns so much
that it would bankrupt her husband
to pay her. So don't begrudge her
minimum wage.
Eighth. Never throw other wom-
en-, either past or present, in your
wifes teeth. Before you are mar
ried, If you are bachelor, burn all
of the photographs and love letters
of your former sWeetieS and blot
the details of your previous ro-
mances out of your memory. Don't
torture your wife with stories about
your old flames. Don't brag about
what devil you used to be among
the ladies, and if you have a past
don't be cad enough to confess it
and give her food for jealousy the
balance of her days.
Ninth. Remember anniversaries.
Heaven knows why women set such
store about their husbands cele-
brating the day they met them,
and when they became engaged,
and got married, and the first baby
was born, and so on, but they do,
and you have to take 'em as God

Piping Sandwich

A piquant ham filling is just the
thing for toasted graham bread
sandwich. Mix chopped ham,
minced parsley and green pepper, a
dash of chopped onion, a little chilli
sauce and horseradish. Thin with
salad dressing and spread on hot
buttered toast. Return to oven for
final heating and serve piping hot
with some hot beverage.

fun to eat dinner by the light of the
Christmas tree. Then, when the meal
Is over, the children may have the

Smart Mantel
Decorations.
If your Christmas tree is not the
main interest of your living room,
you might decorate your fireplace
mantel for the occasion. If you
have fine print of one of the IA
nous Madonnas, give her this place
during Christmas. If you haven't, a
lovely colored one may be purchased
in the shops for SO cents and up.
Frame this with a garland of green
laurel leaves and place under it on
the mantel shelf a cluster of soft
hemlock and silvery pine cones.
Candles at each side will complete
the composition. Or, you might pre-
fer to use your mantel for a creche.
Never before have the stores Of
fered such delightful miniatures at
small cost. Use a drapery of ma
donna blue-or any other color that
fits in with your color scheme. Fas-
ten this to the wall above the man.
tel with spray of green branches
and red berries. Arrange the fig
ures according to the story, and
light them skillfully from the back
of the drapery so that radiance
seems to come from the center of
the group. This arrangement might
be used equally well on a table or
a deep window sill.
Try to avoid the method of
thrusting handful OF green
boughs behind pictures. Plan your
Christmas decorations with as much
thought as you would give to per-
manent interior decorations so that
they will have meaning and force
Utilize and accentuate all the best
points of your house.
Childhood Days
Are Recalled
Christmas is a composite OF many
memories and sensations. It sug-
gests the story of the Christ Child
and the Might Before Christmas
1t recalls familiar aromas, sights
and sounds, and brings memories OF
candlelight music, warmth and
cheerfulness. Even the smiles, terms
of endearment, the joy that bubbled
uncontrollably and all the things
that suggest your childhood return
to your thoughts at Christmas.
These things have little to do with
the size of your purse, but come
from the atmosphere of your home
and your power to recreate that
spirit.
This is the heritage of each per-
son whose way of thinking will
make perfect Yuletide with very
little, and simplify 1t to the same
perfection with a great deal.

made 'em. A 50-cent bunch of vio-
lets on an anniversary will 60 far
ther toward smoothing your matri-
monial pathway than an emerald
bracelet that you have to buy as a
peace offering for having forgotten
it. If you can't remember anniver-
saries, hire a secretary who can.
Tenth. Never climb down off of
your pedestal. Live up to your little
tin godship. Every woman wants
a husband to whom she can look up
and at whose feet she can burn
incense, and she is a miserable and
disappointed poor creature if she
finds out that her idol has not only
feet of clay. but is made of mud.

Surprise Dessert

Ice cream tarts make appetizing
surprise desserts for luncheon. Bake
rich pastry dough in rather deep
pans. When ready to serve spread
the pastry cases with tasty fruit
sauce and then cover it generously
with vanilla ice cream. Add a
pinch Of chopped .candied ginger
mixed with toasted pecans.

Help for Convalescent

Introducing little surprises on the
food tray often will improve the ap-
petite of a convalescent child. Some
note from a friend, a new toy, or
food served in an unusual guise may
do the trick. Telling the child an
interesting story may absorb his at
tention so much that he eats up
everything without realizing it.

Waqe Bill in Conference

| ONG battle over the wage-hour
- bill passed by the house was
averted when the measure was sent
to conference by the senate with
the southern opposition given rep
resentation among the conferees.
This compromise also probably
headed off a threatened filibuster
and led to belief that final action
on the bill would be taken in time to
permit the adjournment of congress
on the date set.
The chief fight in the conference
was to center on the demand Of
the South for wage differentials as
provided for in the bill which the
senate passed. These were rejected
by the house.
The measure establishes rigid
wage-hour standards for certain
classes Of workers in all industries
operating in interstate commerce,
regardless of prevailing sectional
scales. It fixes an initial wage Of
25 cents an hour which steps up to
40 cents an hour in three years, and
a 44-hour week graduating to 40 in
two years.
A coalition of farm state repre-
sentatives and the southern Demo
Gratis put over a drastic amendment
offered by Mrs. Norton, exempting
thousands of employees engaged in
the processing of agricultural COM
niodities from the provisions of the
measure.
