Radio Programs
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, Oct. 25.-Sporadic artil-
lery fire doomed along the western
front today as small infantry patrols
skirmished in the cold and mud west
of Forbach, where French troops
still occupy a narrow salient on Ger
man soil.
Through the sullen rumble of the
guns, loudspeakers in the German
front lines blared monotonous re-
frain:
"Frenchmen, lay down your arms
and shake hands. The Germans
don't want to fight"
The French soldiers shouted back:
Change the record!"
Military dispatches said French
machine gunners silenced one loud
speaker mounted on truck behind
the German lines.
The French general staff summed
up the situation in terse COM
munique this morning, saying that
ION the whole the night has been
quiet" The communique noted
patrol and artillery activity to the
west of the Saar."
Soldiers Want More Jazz.
The lack of action spurred those
at home to call for new steps to
bolster the morale of the soldiers.
The press insisted that radio sta
tions change their programs to suit
the taste of the troops. who have
been calling for more jazz music.
Authorized French circles de-
clared German Foreign Minister
Joachim Won Ribbentrop's speech
last night In Danzig was an admis-

"Ribbentrop credits England. per-

the ambitions and perjuries which

usually attributed to Germany"
these circles added.
IL was disclosed To-Day that Alfred
Napoleon Beauvais, 46, an American
Legionnaire with two sons in the
French army, had set out for the
front with a volunteer ambulance,
minus orders or credentials. With
his wife, Beauvais managed to reach
a point four miles behind the lines,
where he remained for two days be-
fore being sent back.
In that time, he said, he trans
ported 68 wounded or i'll soldiers to

The lines of this dress are very
simple, you see-placing all the en-
phasis on the beauty of your chosen
print. That's the nice thing about
making your own frocks, you can
get exactly the motifs and combi-
nations of colors that suit you best!
And all the detailing of this design
G690-B) is the sort that f1atters
your figure. This dress has the
soft fullness and supple slimness
of the smart silhouette, and the
effect Is so simply and easily
achieved. The bodice has shirred
shoulders, and is fitted in to tiny
waistline. The skirt is shirred at
the sides only. The heart-shaped
neckline is very becoming.
Silk prints, fiat crepe and taffeta
are pretty materials for this de-
sign. AS you see from the small

Introducing
Young Girl
.ToAdults
When She Is Grown
1t Is Unnecessary
For Her to Rise
By EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: At what age
may young girl begin to remain
seated when she is introduced to
an older man or woman?
AnsWer-When she is grown
which usually means ia young
girl does not rise to meet a man
and need not rise when introduced
TO an older woman unless the latter
proffers her hand. Before shaking
hands. she should rise. and when
she is at home she must rise to
greet visitors. whether of her parents
or of her own.
Dear Mrs. Post: Will a gray busi-
ness suit be suitable to wear at a
midday wedding reception?
AnsWer-A plain dark-gray sack
suit would be suitable, but rough
light-gray tweed would not. In sum-
mer, on the other hand. a suit of
light-gray flannel would also be all
right.
Dear Mrs. Post: Do printed in
vitations necessarily denote a formal
party? There are too many people
to be invited to the party I'm giving
for my niece, who is to be married
soon, to make telephoning or writ
ing notes of invitation practical. On
the other hand, this will be a gather
ing of friends and relatives and
practically every one knows every
one else. If printed invitations are
permissible will you suggest the
wording for them?
Answer-Printing which copies the
type and wording of formal invi-
tation would naturally imply a for
NAL party. But it might equally we'll
suggest informality should you word
the invitation in some such way
as the following:
Will you come to a party
we are giving for our niece, Jane,
and her fiance. John Allen.
On Saturday, March fourth,
eight o'clock.
at our house?
Mary and John Brown.
This type could look printed by
hand like that on Christmas cards,
or if not. then it should be plain
as possible, unshaded block lettering.
Dear Mrs Post: How do you
pronounce often? The Standard
Dictionary shows silent "t' and I
myself have always said often.
Lately, listened to lecturer who
pronounced the 1t" and as she is
very well-known person, both pro-
fessionally and socially. 1 thought
there might be some disagreement
on this word between best social
usage and the dictionary.
Answer-Nearly all fashionable
New Workers. and in fact many
people from other States, sound the
1T" in often. From the standpoint
of social usage, therefore, the
sounded "t" is considered quite as
correct as the omitted one.

Most housekeepers welcome the
advent of Lent-in the beginning
because meatless days tend to keep
down the budget in many instances.
However, a little of this sort of

tomato and remove most of the

cheese, salt, pepper and Worcester

mato pulp to moisten well. Stuff
tomato cases with the mixture,
mounding we'll on top. Bake in a

ShrOVe tuesday may be IOunQ IN tne
old English custom of using up all
the leftover drippings and lard in
the making of the cakes, so that the
household would be guiltless of any
meat prc55@@cc:.s for the duration of
Lent. InaSlnucn as modern house
holds are not apt to be so heavily
stocked with such commodities. the
custom has lost much of its origl-
nal meaning-but the idea still per-
sists. and in many homes the ShrOve
Tuesday pancake is as essential a
part of the pre-Lenten observances
as is the turkey on Thanksgiving
Day.
According to the old cookbooks,
and various notations made by my
Family therein, the following recipe
seems to come closest to resembling
the original one:
"SHROVETIDE PANCAKES"
Stir two cups milk into two we'll
beaten eggs, add enough flour to
make a thin batter. Add one-half
teaspoonful salt, and one heaping
teaspoon baking powder. Sour milk
may be used instead of sweet; in
this case omit the baking powder
and substitute one-half teaspoonful
soda. The baking powder or the
coda should not be put in until just
before the cakes are ready to bake.
The cakes will be lighter if the eggs
are beaten separately, and the
stifHy whipped whites folded in just
before baking. The griddle should
be piping hot, and we'll creased.
Bake the cakes to golden brown
and serve them with jam, honey or
syrup. Chicken hash is also good
with the cakes, as they are un-
sweetened."

Makeup

l. Never wear rouge over
wrinkles or hollows.
1t merely accentuates them.
2. Wear rouge sparingly.
1t stands out more on older skins
because of the loss of pigmentation
that comes with age
3. Bring the rouge up from the
cheeks, blending it out over the
pouches under the eyes.
This sinks them and takes away
the bloodless look.
4. Don't wear white powder
even if you have white hair.
1t will make your rouge stand out
in CHASTITY fashion.
Your skin is paler than in youth.
but it still has rose or creamy tints.
Match them carefully.
S. Pat on powder without
moving the puff.
Drawing the puff across the face
makes powder catch in wrinkles and
results in visible streaks.
6. Don't be afraid of lipstick.
I. Blot out wrinkles and dou-
BILE chins with powder founda.

8. Make up your neck along
with your face.

aging neck Is dead giveaway. (Neck

A man is foolish when he does not

Did you ever think that about
nine-tenths of all the unhappiness
in the world is home grown and
raised on the premises? I don't
mean the kind Of unhappiness that
is the result of remorse for some
wrong we have done or some crime
that has been committed against
us. mean the kind of fretful dis
content which is self-made, with
which we poison life and that comes
from our failure to make the best
of now and here and enjoy the
things we have.
For instance, to this column come
hundreds of letters from despairing,
miserable women who find life Gin
ders, ashes and dust, with no SAVIOR
In 1t, for no apparent reason than
that is just the way they find life.
According to their own accounts
they are sitting pretty on the top
of the world. They are young and
healthy. They have nice homes
and comfortable living. They
have good, kind husbands and fine
children. They have friends and
cars. bridge clubs and movie
theater on the next corner, but they
loathe houseWork. Their husbands
bore them. Their children are a
burden. Their friends are tiresome.
They have no interest in anything
and there is no balm in Gilead.
And, oh. dear, oh. deary me, they
wall, is this life?
I always feel like answering these
melancholy ladies by saying: Yes,
this is life, only a lot better than
most people get it. Life isn't all
beer and skittles for anybody. No.
body gets just what they want in
precisely the way they want it.
There is always fly in the ointment.
There is always lot of hard sled
ding somewhere on the road.
And, anyway, happiness doesn't
come from without. And 1t isn't to
be found in material things. 1t is
a flame that burns in a dauntless
soul and that no outward happen
ings can quench. You might have
all the riches in the world and yet
be miserable. Or you might be
happy without penny in your
pocket. 1t is what is in you.
We get out of life only what we
put into it. If we find it stale, fiat
and improbable it is because we
have put no enthusiasm, no imagina-
tion, no cheer. no sense of humor
into living. Work is chore or the
most exacting of all games. as we
make it. People are dull and bore
some or interesting, just as we come
to know them. Every little village
every household is full of romance
and drama if we have the perception
to sense them. There is no excuse
for BOREDOM except stupidity.

Coiffures
l. Never wear shingled hair.

l.. Never wear shingled hair.
1t adds 10 years.
Because it makes the head look
smaller, it makes the figure heavier.
Also it makes the neck seem thick
er, always sign of age, and reveals
whatever hump there may be at the
back.
Instead of shingled hair. wear
short hair close to the head ending
in roll of curls at the back and
curls rolled back from the face in
front.
Or wear long hair coiled low at the
back of the neck
2. Never wear the hair parted
in the middle and drawn on
either side.
This emphasizes dropping lines in
the face.
3. Part the hair on one side.
This gives soft. becoming line.
4. Lift the hair off the forehead.
That is. comb it back diagonally
before bringing it forward into soft
dips at the temples.
This lifts every line in the face.
S. Never wear hard, tight waves.
This seems to deepen lines.
6. Never wear a bun on ton
OF the head or fiat at the back.
This is always associated with old
ladies.
!. Don't wear your hair very
long.
The Seven Sutherland Sisters
have had their day.
1t is no longer smart to be able to
sit on your hair.
If you don't care for bobbed
hair, cut your long tresses to shoul-
der length and coil them low at the
neck.
This will do several things for
you.
The cutting makes the hair
thicker.
The coiffure will show the model
Ing OF the head to advantage and
minimize dowager's hump.
And having less hair will cut
down your head size so you won't
be forced to wear the matronlv
millinery that is all the stores offer
for large headsizes.
8. Never dye your hair.
Tint it.
The fermentation of the skin
changes as the hair turns gray, so
you would have to dye your skin as
we'll as your hair to get a harmon
ious effect.
Dyed hair accentuates every
sign of age in the face cruelty and
needlessly.
