Ten Suggestions
On Acquiring a
Healthy Tan
-Korth Photo.
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

First of all, it isn't the vogue this
year to tan deep shade. With the
very feminine style and the soft
muted colors of the spring and
summer fashion palette, a deep tan
is not attractive We females are
turning into fragile softies-whether
we like it or not. And if you are at
all interested in keeping step with

protected that your skin will be a
glowing healthy color rather than
bean-pot brown.
Here are 10 sensible suggestions
for taking Old Sol as you should if
you desire to preserve your lady like
beauty!
1-For at least one month before
you sun bathe. condition the skin
with frequent applications OF
warm oil-olive, mineral or a pre-
pared body lotion.
2-Apply oil or ointment to your
hair with steaming towels once a
week and get in plenty of brush
ing and scalp massage. This recon-
dltions neglected hair and the nat
ural oils combat the suns heat.
3-Begin to sun bathe in 10-min-
ute periods. Each day increase the
time a minute or two but never lie
exposed longer than one-half hour
to the turn! If you want more sun
cover yourself with a white sheet or
robe.
4Unless your skin is naturally
we'll fabricated. you must use an oilv
preparation on it. Mineral oil with
few drops of iodine is an mex
pensive and eficacious combination.
Cover all skin to be exposed.
5-While in the sun keep your
hair covered with a porous turban.

OF your arms and legs. the under
part OF your chin and the back of
your neck get the same dose of sun
as the rest of your body.
always protect your eyes either
with dark glasses or with eye pads
cotton soaked in a mild astringent
such as witch hazel. Keep the pads
dampened.
8-When the day is very hot be
sensible. and do not lie in the sun.
Many girls have suffered for wears
from sun fever which they invited
through carelessness.
S-Do not bathe in warm or hot
water for at least one hour after
sun bath. A cold shower should
never be taken directly after a sun
bath. If you have burned even
the slightest bit, sit wrapped in
towels wrung out of chilled water

Die, but the appointments for each
guest consisted only of a napkin
q spoon and pile of wooden dishes
which were removed as the diff
ferent kinds of food were served
The guest of high rank was served
the very best the house afforded
with lavish hand. Guests of lower
rank were thoughtfully provided for,
and though the Interpretation OF
hospitality today is very different
the basic idea remains the same.
Modern Hostess
Knows Food.
The modern hostess understands
the preparation and serving of din
ners. She no longer plans great
feasts, with the accent on the
amount and variety of the food, but
stresses the perfection of unusual
delicacies or the wholesomeness OF
the usual ones, each gracefully
served with the proper accompani-
ments.
Evening star., 1939-03-21

She knows that though the food
may be of the best and prepared
by an expert, if it is not offered to
her guests in tempting manner
half of its charm is lost. Much of
that appeal is governed by her
table appointments, in which she
interprets her preference and way
OF living. If she is one of simple
taste and likes the ways of the
country she will will serve you fresh
garden tidbits on a red-checked ia
blecloth dressed up with pewter and
old glass. You will be as charmed
as you might be at the fine crystal
and damask and gold plate of the
most formal town house, because
each one is perfection of its kind.
Types Of
Tables.
If your home is a farmhouse your
dining table might be a trestle type
Of pine or a dropleaf one of maple
that is pleasant for two with the
sides down and which will seat
eight or 10 with both leaves ex-
tended. If you have a modern
apartment in which there is no
dining room you will have a low
table in front of the fire for tiny
dinners or circular one in q corner
surrounded by cushioned seats. If
you live in a middle-sized family,
having four or six for dinner reg
ularly and entertain often, one of
the modern reproductions of the ex-
tension tables made famous by
Sheraton or Duncan Phyfe is the
best purchase. With these may be
two side tables. of the console type,
which rest against the wall ordi-
narily, but may be attached to the
ends of the table after it is extended
to make it into banquet length.
Whatever your circumstances or
way of living there is your own way
in which you may best express your
own idea of hospitality. Study your
own problem to interpret that
idea effectively. Consideration and
thoughtfulness for your guests, food
in an attractive setting, perfect
table appointments and some good
conversation to give lasting en-
phasis, add up to that good old
American custom of dining with
friends"

To Settle the In.Law Problem
Follow This Golden Rule

and wisdom in meeting the situation
than the girl bride has.
Besides which, the mother-in- law
has most to lose if she does not
establish cordial relationships with
her sons wife. 1t is no trick at all
for bride to ALLEVIATE her husband
from his family and even keep him
from visiting them if she doesn't
find the atmosphere at mother-i in
laws house agreeable. So on every
count it pays woman to cultivate
her daughter-in-law and make her
friend instead of an enemy.
Yet how pitifully many women
fail to do this. They are so jealous
Of the woman who they think has
taken their son away from them
that they refuse to see that mother
love and conjugal love are two diff
ferent things that do not clash. and
that often it is only after man is
married that he really understands
and appreciates his mother.
There are the meddling mothers
who insist on bossing their daugh-
laws homes and raising their
children and running their budgets
for them. There are the mothers
who have one code for their own
daughters and another for their
daughters-in-law. Who think that
their own daughters husbands
should provide them with every
luxury, while their -in-law
should live plainly and never have
an indulgence. Worst of all. there
are the mothers-in-law who stir up
trouble between their sons and their
wives by their fault-fnding and
tale-bearing and who are first aid to
divorce.
1t Is all so sad and so foolish.
because when mothers-in n-law and
daughters-in-law live together in
peace and harmony it is beautiful
relationship, full of happiness for
all concerned. DOROTHY DIX.

Dear Dorothy Dix-I have three
sons with lovely wives who are kind
and good to me. I think that much
Of the splendid feeling that exists
in our home is due to my starting
out with them right, and I am
handing my plan on in the hope
that 1t might help some other
mother to get along with her in
laws. In the first place, I wanted
my sons to marry. because I think
the domestic life is best for man.
Second, I treat my daughters-in-
law in the same loving intimate
manner in which I do my own
daughters. Third, I keep my hands
out of their affairs and let them
manage their homes in their own
way. Fourth, try to build up their
wives to my sons. 1 never criticize
anything their wives do to my boys.
The result of this is that my daugh-
ters-in-laW are just as devoted to
me as my sons are. I believe if
mothers -in-law would follow the
Golden Rule of do to your daugh-
ters-in-laws as you would have them
do to you. but do it first, 1t would
settle the in-law problem.
MRS. H. B.
Answer-Indeed 1t would, and If

to Mrs. H. BIS rules for how to make
your daughters-in-l law love you, it
would save lot of tears and grief.
For it is not to be denied that of
all the wars that have drenched this
suffering old world with woe. none
have caused more broken hearts and
unhappiness than the fight that
RACES between so many mothers i'm
law and daughters-in- and of
which the poor unfortunate victim
is the son and husband.
Which is the aggressor and the
one most to blame depends, of
course, upon the individuals who
take part in the feud. But. be that
as 1t may, I have always felt that
1t was the mother-in-la law who was
generally chiefly to blame, because
she was older and had had more
knowledge of how to deal with peo-
pie. Also she has had her own
experience in dealing with mother
in-law for warning and she
should have more tact and patience
