CARRIES OUT
BARGAIN

Mrs. A. doesn't refuse to sit
under the drier until her hair is
thoroughly dry and then get irri-
tated because the wave does not
stay In. She wants her hair brush
ed before she leaves the salon,
and she knows that damp waves
won't stand brushing.
Furthermore, IL she agrees to
do exercises at home between
visits to the exercise studio of a
salon, she does them. II she has
asked for special diet, she really
sticks to the diet.
And II she does not use GER
tain cream according to direc-
lions, Mrs. A. doesn't blame the
operator who sold her the cream.

Good I aste 7 oday

advertisement OF early American
dinnerware by one of the leading
department stores OF the country,
I noticed mention of cup plate
coaster with an explanation that
II one wanted to cool tea, as grand
mother did, by pouring 1t in the
saucer, this was a little plate to
set the cup on while drinking. I
was astonished, to say the least.
No one has more affectionate re-
gard for the lovely things Of yes
terday than I, but drinking ones
tea out of a saucer is hardly a
custom to cherish. Is 1t possible
that this will become, or has be-
come, an approved procedure of
this day?
Answer: Personally, I should
say that the little plate on which
to set the cup Is nothing more nor
less than the bread and butter
plate which is also the proper tea
plate. 1t is always used at tea
time to put cakes or biscuits or
sandwiches on. So far as my per-
sonal knowledge Is concerned,
drinking tea from a saucer was
never in fashion.

Mama's Derierre
To Be Bit Higher

SAN FRANCISCO - Don't look
now, but isn't that mama wearing
grandma's hustle? 1t Is for a fact,
but the hustle, goth century type,
is as streamlined as train, though
not quite so large.
Perhaps 1t Is the Hollywood in
fluence OF scores of costume pic
lures; perhaps 1t Is the science Of
air-eonditioning catching up with
feminine style. At any rate,
mama's derierre will be hoisted
just little higher this year.
The thousands who came to San
Francisco today for glimpse OF
the San Francisco exposition found
themselves casting bullying eyes at
concealed mouse traps and bird
cages on the back of milady's eve

what it all meant.

CHAPTER VII
She never remembered, after
ward, how she had broken the
dreadful news to Marcia and Mrs.
King. All she knew was that the
blood pounded in her temples, and
her knees shook so that they led
her to a chair. Marcia was in
stantly upset, going for cold water
and smelling salts, saying distract

father are so close-so much closer

found herself noticing that. Dread
ing Jimmy's presence, even the
help he might be able to lend.
A moment later, Marcia was
saying, Mobile. That's the nearest
airport. It's more than $50 miles
from here. Jimmy says he doesn't
think there's flight out of there
until night. But even so, Linda,
you'd be home in the morning.
Better than the train. If you
caught a train right now, you
couldn't be there before tomorrow

Get hold of yourself, child"
Mrs. King said kindly. Perhaps

Young Love
Dear Miss Grey: Is IL impossible
for = girl is years old to fall in
love,
Not many months ago a boy IT
moved into our neighborhood and
as I know the people next door to
him, I see him quite often. At
first / thought no more of him
than any other boy. But the more
I see him the more I think about
him. At first ! tried to fight off
thinking of him, but it's no use.
l try to tell myself I'm too young
to fall in love. but that doesn't
h1st. AHotS 1911 uiiiiutt WHtfl
I'm not thinking OF him. / can't
sleep at night and can't eat.
He Ia a very talented musician
and / admire him as well as care
for him. ! know by his actions
that he cares for me a little bit.
but he admits that he Is bashful.
Many Of his boy friends have told
me that he never cared for girls
before. I'm not sure just how
much he cares for me.
Am just being silly or will this
last? ! know how boys are and
try to hide my feelings. but I am
sure ] love him even though I am
young. TROUBLED.
! doubt very much II this love
will last. You aren't the only
15-year-old girl who imagines
herself madly In love. You are
very young. my dear, to take
this affair so seriously. II you
admire this boy there is no rea-
son why you shouldn't go out
with him, but don't get too seri-
Gus. At your age that would be
great mistake.

GIRL ASKS BOY

I'sh' pVh
Dear Mrs. Post: May girl in
wife a boy to 90 to a movie with
her? The boy in question has
asked me to go places so often
that / would like to show him
some extra special thought. But
how do ! go about paying for our
tickets?
Answer: Get the tickets In ad-
vance, tell him that you have
some tickets for such and such a
movie, and ask him II he will go
with you. Better still (if you CAM
ask him home to dinner and to
go with you afterwards.
SATIN IN SUMMER
Dear Mrs. Post: Is summer
time the wrong time to wear a
pastel satin evening dress?
Answer: No, 1t is quite all right
unless very heavy satin OF the
dripping variety that is more suit
able to winter and to parties of
more formality than those given
In summer.
A TABLE SERVING DETAIL.
Dear Miss Post: What hand
does a waitress use when passing
breads or anything else that is not
heavy enough to require her two
hands?
Answer. The left Is correct be-
cause 1t is more practical. The
left arm and wrist bend more cas-
lily to the right.
OF PRIMARY INTEREST TO
YOUNG PEOPLE
Dear Mrs. Post: A certain boy
has taken me TO three parties and
dances. Last week / had the
chance To ask him to something.
He was unable to 20. What /
would like to know is whether I
should ask him back to something
else. ] have thought this over and
there is doubt in my mind. ! am
afraid that he might think I have
no one else to ask II ask him
again. and on the other hand, IL I
don't ask him. he might think l am
angry because he refused to go
with me the first time l invited
him. / am only is and do not 20
out with one boy all the time.
Answer: No one is ever angry
with someone who is unable to
accept an invitation. But II / were
you. / would ask another boy the
next time, and the time after that
ask this first one again. To invite
him again Immediately might
make him think you are pursuing

Judge Barksda|e
Delays Resignation
p the Associated Press.

LYNCHBURG, Va, Dec. 23.-
Judge Alfred D. Barksdale of Cir
cult Court declared today it would
be an "inexcusable breach of duty
for him to resign from the bench
until after the hearing of the Rich
mond-Henrico County annexation
has been concluded, and that he is
not going to do so.
Thus Judge Barksdale put to rest
speculation reported to be current
in Richmond that the annexation
procedure which began in October
might end in a mistrial because
the constituency of the three judge
court would be broken.
Others serving on this court are
Judge Julien Gum of Richmond
and Judge Friedrich w. Coleman of
Fredericksburg. This court hopes to
conclude the hearing and probably
decide it by the middle of January
Judge Barksdale said.
After that Judge Barksdale ex-
poets to qualify as Judge of the
United States Court of the West
ern Virginia District.
The Lynchburg Judge has received
from President Roosevelt a recess
appointment to the Federal Judge
ship. which entities him to serve
until the end of the next session
OF the United States Senate.

North Takoma Bridge
Described as Dangerous

Dangerous trsffic conditions at the
humpback bridge over the tracks
of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
in North Takoma were called to the
attention of the railroad yesterday
by the Takoma Park (Md0-D. c.
Citizens Association.
The approaches to the structure
were built by Montgomery County,
the association said, and the bridge
by the railroad. 1t is is feet wide,
but has a 12-inch water main and
heavy timbers on each side. The
space for motorists and pedestrians
is narrowed to IA feet. The hump
in the center of the bridge is so high
that the view of motorists and
pedestrians approaching from either
side is obscured until the peak is
reached, it was pointed out.
There is no sidewalk for pedes-
trians and hundreds of school chill
dren and nearby students use the
bridge, which crosses the tracks over
high embankments between Takoma
avenue and Blair road.
The Takoma Park Citizens Asso-
citation has discussed the matter
with j. L. Maher. division engineer
of the railroad, requesting that i'm
provements be made. They suggest
that sidewalk be constructed on
the outside of the bridge on the
north side and that stronger side
