DO DAILY
EXERCISES

Once day you'll do a few SIM
pie limbering exercises. vigorously
enough to make cheeks pink, body
slightly moist. In addition, you'll
walk at least a mile every day.
And you'll get reasonable amount
of sleep every night. Meanwhile,
you'll allow little time every day
for acquiring the cover-up coat of
suntan-even If this means sun
ming yourself on the roof of an
apartment house or during lunch
hour in a park near your office.
In other words, you'll improve
your health habits. And. by so
doing, you'll know that when the
suntan fades and your complexion
tones once again are visible, they
won't be ssllow.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1939-08-08
BEAUTY HINTS

The best thing to do about dull,
sallow complexion tones until you
have time to eliminate them per-
manently is to get nice even coat
of golden brown suntan. This will
hide the sallow look for a couple
of months. Meanwhile, you can
get busy with sensibly planned eN-
ercise and diet routines.
First step in the right direction
is to see your family doctor and
find out whether some organic
ailment is causing the sallowness.
While there, discuss your ideas
for revising your exercise and diet
habits.
Unless the doctor advises other
wise. you'll start drinking the
juice OF one fresh lemon in a tall
glass OF hot water the moment
you get up in the morning. After
you have cleaned your face and
had your shower, you'll splash
quantities of very cold water on
face and throat until skin is
tingling, cheeks pinkish. Then pat
on cold skin tonic or a very mild
astringent and let it dry before
applying foundation lotion and
makeup.
You'll drink ar least three glasses
Of fruit or vegetable juice q day.
And. for lunch, eat huge green
salad or plate of fresh green vege-
tables. Your dinner will be a per-
fectly balanced meal and you'll
try to eat it at the same time every
night

her about il. Jimmy" Msrcia's at
tention was suddenly distracted
by a tall boy striding across the
field. Look. Jimmy there's that
Brooks boy. I meant TO ask you,
did he pass the eheckoff ?"
He hasn't had it yet" Jimmy
answered. Il see you're worried.
Go on, little mother Of the fleet,
go over and hand out some of your
softest soap. He's getting cocker
and harder to handle every day. If
he doesn't change, pretty quick,
it'll be thumbs down.
You're too hard on him, He
was a good flyer before he ever
came here. He told me how he
transformed with fairs and things.
Really, Jimmy"
you know better than that. We
tell them to unlearn anything they
learned before. Flying at a car
nival isn't exactly flying for the
navy"
Marcia made a face at him. She
waved to the boy and with a quick
Excuse me" to Linda, she was
running toward him.
Jimmy explained to Linda.
Sometimes the kids get the idea
that the instructors don't like
him. Conspiracy against EN- be-
cause, because-well, in this case
because he was stunt flyer
before he came here. Marcias
taken this kid under her wing and
tried to straighten him out. But
I'm afraid she's listened to his
line too long. He's got her believ-
ing it, now. She's so darned quick
with her sympathies. Every en-
listed man on the base who wants
to get to her father has learned
that telling it to Marcia first Is a
great idea, if he can do it."
Marcia and the cadet were smil-
ing at each other. The boy wig
gled his hands and Jimmy, watch
ing, grunted. There he goes, Civ
ing her the low down on the latest,
from his angle. That business
you're looking at-like this"-he,
too, tapped his hands-"that's
flying in miniature, see ?"
He grinned. His grin did some
thing to Linda. She murmured, II
don't quite understand all of
this :"
TITS easy. About this kid-the
navy doesn't want stunt flyers.
All we want is an efficient, COM
petent, clear-headed pilot who can
take orders. We don't even want
heroes. Dependability is the thing.
Consistent, uniform performance.
But this kids got a grandstand
complex. Likes to take reckless
chances and tell himself what
great guy he is. One of these days
he'll kill himself and wreck an
expensive navy ship. That is, if
he passes his checkoff :"
And then he was looking down
at her with terrible directness.
you aren't listening. You aren't
thinking about that any more than
I am? Linda, was I wrong, last
night? Did I only imagine it or
or did you feel it, too?"
She did no pretend to misun-
derstand him. The sincerity in his
eyes was too real; and the trem-
bling which shook her whole body
told her that there was no use in
pretending, anyway. I'VE mustn't
even think about it. You're going
to marry Marcia, and I'm going
home. Today"
who's going home ?" trumpeted
Marcia's voice behind her. She
had been running, as usual. 1t was
clear that she heard no more than
that. Linda, have you started on
that record again? I'm going to
tell Jimmy what's eating you."

MEMS CLOTHING AT
WEDDING

Dear Mrs. Post: Does 1t mat
ter very much in very informal
place If the men in the wedding
wear summer day clothes white
flannels and plain coats) at an
evening wedding? There will be
several out-of-town families COM
ing who have probably never
heard of day clothes at an evening
wedding, but here in this commun-
ity everyone wears day clothes.
Answer: If you mean guests
who are coming from out of town,
they may perfectly we'll wear what
is customary at home. If you mean
the bridegroom and his attendants,
the most important rule is that
their clothes shall be alike. White
flannel trousers, blue coats, or
else gray coats (but not some in
blue and some in gray, with ties
that match, and white buttonnieres
would be entirely proper at mid
summer country wedding almost
everywhere.

WEDDINGS GIVEN BY
FRIENDS

Dear Mrs. Post: Two young
couples in our group are getting
married soon-at different times,
however. Neither one of them
has family in position to give
them a wedding reception. Our
question may be unusual because
the circumstances are not usual.
but what we are mainly interested
in is to know whether it would
be improper for us, the friends,
to give each one wedding recep-
ton. We would rather do some
thing like this for them than give
showers or other kinds of parties,
because we know in their cases 1t
would mean so much more to them.
Please be truthful about 1t.

very nice indeed to give each one
