IF YOU are fastidious in the
daintiness and perfection of
your beauty regime, be sure to
give special attention to the ell
bows. Much thought always
goes to the hands. the hair, and
the various types Of facial treat
ment, but the elbows are often
forgotten.
One young lady writes that
she forgets all about her elbows
except when she wears evening
gowns, and then finds it impos-
sible to give them the attention
they need before it is time to be
dressed and on her way.
The poor little elbows are
treated like stepchildren of the
arms. The rule seems to be to
do as little as possible for them
and, like the story book STEP
child, they are expected to stand
the brunt of all the abuse we
give them. There is really no
reason why the elbows should
be rough and calloused any
more than any other part Of
the arm. They respond to the
beauty treatment just as the
hands and face do, and they
need about the same attention
to keep them smooth and lovely.
I will give you an emergency
treatment that will do a lot to
improve their appearance for
special occasions, but it is only
a temporary makeup, so do not
depend on it to last for more
than a few days.
First, cleanse the arms thor
oughly with cold cream, or while
you are in your bath, you may
wash the elbows with soap ana
water in the usual way. Do not
use a stiff brush or they may
become irritated. Scrubbing is
just what they need, but moi
when you are in a hurry to dress

Use tepid water for bathing and

thing to do after the arms are
dry is to apply cleansing cream
to soothe the skin before you

Mix together with a table

Dear Miss Blake:

Dear Miss Blake:
My wife was a bit on the old
fashioned side about such
things as kissing when we went
together. She didn't believe that
she should allow anyone to
kiss her until she was certain
that he was serious, that is, I'M
til he proposed, I suppose. I was
informed of this fact by a
friend of hers, and I always
kidded about it.
Then one day told her about
a dream I had had. That she
had kissed me. She considered
this for moment, and suddenly
I found myself being kissed.
Could I do anything but pro-
pose?

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I have visited in a home that
employs a butler. He always
serves on the guests left, except
when he serves the small tray
holding the cream and sugar.
He always serves that on the
right. I find that a bit awk-
ward. It is strictly correct?

Serving dishes are correctly
passed at the left of the guest.
but beverages are, of course,
placed at the right. The tray
holding the sugar bowl and
cream pitcher is also more con.
veniently passed at the guests
left, particularly if the sugar
and cream are to be used on,
say, cereal or certain kinds of
desserts. When the sugar end
cream are offered for coffee, the
tray is also usually passed at the
left of the guest, but some
hostesses have it passed at the
guests right, thinking this
more convenient for the bever-
age that is at the right of the
guests place.

Birthday
Gift
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I have a girl friend for whom
care a great deal. I met her
two years ago but never really
knew her very well until last
summer. She is to celebrate
her birthday in the middle o.
the month, and I would like to
give her a gift. Is it proper for
me to give her my photograph
as have only known her such a
short time? l am not sure if
she would actually want" my
photograph. R.
Before we give a photograph
to a friend, we should really
know if the friend would like
to have one. And so, if I were
you, I would not plan to give
this friend of yours your photo
graph for a birthday present..
Save this very personal gesture
until some time when she asks
you for your photograph.
Perhaps you would like to give
her, for her birthday, pen or
pencil, or the set, with the fac
smile of her signature stamped
on it. Or one or two sheer white
linen handkerchiefS with her
first name embroidered on
them. Or matching scarf and
belt, now so popular.

Re spreading a little sympathy,
nd to you this fine spring day.
Faced with the knowledge
that almost all Of you want to
: get married-get your man as
it were-I am going to confess
that men, all men, have one
thing in common and that is a
willingness to be captured. OF
course, there are a few hard
hearted bachelors who hold out
and make things difficult for
you, but under their hard shells
there is that same willingness,
if you can only reach it.
They're
Easy Picking
The average man is easy pick.
ing. The only thing a girl needs
to know is how to make her
best appeal. Some men can be
appealed to by visions of a COM
Portable home and good meals.
Some men fall for glamour.
Most all men fall for the ma
ternal. Beauty, whether it be
physical or of character, is prob
ably the strongest bait of all.
Easy, isn't it? Pick your man,
study him to find out what
brings the light of love to his eye
and then concentrate. Now
don't say that is too vague. All
Of you have brains to think and
eyes to see and instincts that
help out, so why not use them?
Then on your side is the fact
you are Of the feminine sex,
which is the foundation of all
your appeal to the male.
Here is another pointer. When
a girl picks out a man he knows
it. But does he rebel? He
does not. He is flattered to
think you feel that way about
him-so long as you don't show
it too plainly or are too OBJ
vious in your pursuit. If you
are too obvious lie will begin to
think any man will do for you
and the flattery-goes flat.
Don't think you can fool the
boys as to the state of your
emotions. Even though bluff,
robust, vigorous and a little bit
blind, man does have a brain
cell. It may be poorly devel-
oped but unless he is feeble
minded he can interpret your
feelings. Whether he is pleased
or displeased with his discov-
cry Of you remains with you.
Recognize
His Greatness
He is easily pleased with you
so that ought to help. Your
articles tickle him. Your at
tempts to hide your emotions
where he is concerned please
his fancy. Your innocent f1irta.
ton with him delights him.
Your awe Of him and your
alteration of him, makes him
throw out his chest and he
humbly thanks you for the fact
that you can recognize his great
ness.
Any girl can practice any of
the above tricks-or are they
tricks? Aren't they fundamen-
tally a girls desire to make the
man happy and so happy that
he will want that girl beside
him the rest of his life?
Someone is going to capture
the man who wants to be
caught, so why not you? If
girls would only think of men
as willing to be annexed by
some woman, instead of always
thinking of them as trying to
get away, they would have a
head start toward matrimony.
Am I right? Let's hear from
the married women-they must
have known all these answers.

It's impossible to tell just
