according to Julia Coburn,
director of the Tobe- -Coburn

Returning from a vacation,

Miss Coburn also brought
back the news that Edda

a way to fold the familiar

Dear M. B. L.:
Lemon juice Is a mild and

are the heliophobia type. with
fair skin and lack of the darker
pigment, you will always tan
when exposed to the strong
light and sunrays. FreckleS can
be removed but there is no per-
manent cure for them, except
to avoid such exposure.
During the summer when
everyone wants to enjoy the
out-of-doors life, there is no
point in removing the freckles,
and for this reason we would
advise you to wait until the
fall. Then when they are re-
moved, they may not return for
some time. When exposed to
the sun you may be sure the
freckles will return even after
a skin peel. We have a good
freckle treatment and will pe

tured on this page herewith.
So many telephone calls came
IN the fashion office, we
realized at once that here
was an innovation for which
the ladies had been waiting.
1t seems that it all comes
about from air-conditioning and
our growing fondness for dining
Of a night time on high roofs
and open club verandas. Women
are unanimous in the opinion
that the cold interiors of res
taurants and air-chilled theaters
demand some protection other
than you would ordinarily wear
in the summer time. Many in
diViduals feel that the damp,
dank cold is such a contrast to
the normal heat in which they
are obliged to spend a percent
age of their time, that it is only
wisdom to wear a little some
thing extra, and here tt is!
Any excuse is welcomed to
wear such flattering feminine
jackets, form-fitting of silky
velvet. The local shops may
have them. If not at the mo-
ment, it surely won't be long.

take one tablespoon each Of

understanding
Helps Youth
We can't, nowadays, keep
youngsters in ignorance of the
fact that human nature is an
inflammable sort of thing. On
the contrary, the more clearly
they understand this, the bet
ter. Nor can we keep boys and
girls apart. Our democratic
principles and our public school
system prevent this. In fact,
most of us have no wish to keep
them apart.
So what are parents to do?
Spend their lives agonizing over
Catastrophes that they fear may
happen? Or see to it that their
boys and girls have proper
education?
I don't mean an education in
Sex knowledge alone, though we
all know that is essential. But
training in honesty, fairness,
consideration and good sense -
the very qualities that make
good wives and husbands, later
on, and that now, before there's
any thought of marriage, should
prevent these young creatures
from breaking each others
hearts or damaging each others
lives.
S0ner
Viewpoint
Some people believe that we
are shedding conventions too
rapidly. But I am greatly
pleased to see that young
people are so delightfully."- natu-
raj in their approach to each
other. In the old days. if boy
and girl held hands in public,
or even so much as smiled at
each other, their Smirking
elders were all for pairing them
off for life. Now we pay no at
tention, which is a good deal
Saner.
But suppose the same Jack
and Jill, who carelessly held
hands in the afternoon. are
found petting each other in the
evening. If they are sweet,
wholesome youngsters who, as
I have suggested, have been
sensibly brought up. we may
take it for granted that they
are merely expressing the
perennial attraction of youth
for youth. And who can blame
them for that?
Natural
Demonstration
Jill is pretty, perhaps. and
feminine, with soft, kittenish
ways. Jack may be a sturdy,
good-look1ng boy with gift for
leadership. Why shouldn't they
admire each other? Why
shouldn't they even feel an urge
to express affection?
And if they are the Jack and
Jill we think they are, they are
not upsetting each others lives
in exchanging kiss or two.
The kiss may even help them to
find out that it's only a
pleasant friendliness they feel
for each otner. Love? Oh, not
by any means. Jill is a dear
who would fit in very nicely as
a cousin. Jack is a good sort
but perhaps luSt a bit too much
Of manager
And so each of them, serene
and contented, continues the
not wholly conscious search for
the love that will some day
tranSfigure Their lives and that
has so little to do, after all,
with a mere moments petting.

story appears in this letter.
Dear Mr.. Antheil: We were

husband 18. A year later our
baby was born. My husband Is
always reminding me that we
married too young. He is crazy
about his son. But when we
quarrel he always says if it were
not for the baby, he wouldn't
live with me. When We go out
he humiliates me by ridicullng
me. He never talks to me when
he comes from work unless the
meal is not ready. He doesn't
kiss me nor ask me how I feel.
II have been i'll the past six
months and he told me he didn't
want me gallivanting around
town when I asked for car fare
to 60 to the doctor. He lost his
job eight months ago and finally
got on the WPA. He worked a
week and bought an automobile.
He gives me all he makes on the
WPA but it doesn't pay back
bills and let us live decently. He
earns a little doing odd jobs.
