Very new and very smart is this
more formal and wearable version
of the popular two-piece dress.
Above the straight, slim skirt, this
design has full, soft bodice, fin
ished in wide girdle effect that
fastens with loops and buttons in
the front. 1t gives you a charm
ing version of the smart, slim sill
houette.
The beauty of this design is its
versatility. You can make it all
in one color, or with a plain -colored
skirt and print top, or, for more
dressy effect, with a sheer, light
blouse. AS a matter of fact, you'll
find this dress so becoming and so
smart that you'll want it made up
more ways than one. Silk crepe,
then wool and combi lation of fiat
crepe and georgette or chiffon are
suggested.

Be Guided bv
Young Mans
Gauging Change in
His Affections Is
Often Difficult
BY EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: Several years ago
there was young man with whom
I went out a great deal. I was
very fond of him, but as neither
Of us had very bright financial pro-
spects, when he told me he loved me,
I said, Lets always be friends" "
Soon after this incident occurred he
went abroad to visit his family and
stayed away two years. During that
time we corresponded. And during
his absence I began realizing that
I cared for him very much Indeed.
But I'm desperately afraid that
he's not going to give me a chance
to let him know about this, be-
cause he telephoned me the other
day to say Hello" and I learned
from him then that he has been
back in this country for several
weeks. He did not ask to come to
see me. 1t is possible, of course, that
he may have changed his mind
about me, but I'm hoping that he
is staying away to save what he be-
lieves would be an unhappy situa-
ton. He is not the type of person
to force himself where he thinks ne
is not wanted. 1t is this reserve
of his that makes it difficult for
me to know how can let him know
that. so far as am concerned, all
is changed. Will you tell me what
would be proper thing for me
to do.
Answer: You could telephone and
tell him how glad you were to hear
his voice the other day, and invite
him to your house for Sunday din
ner or whatever you can ask him
to. If you think it wise. you might
perhaps tell him that you have much
to say to him! But don't sound
sentimental. If he accepts your in
vitation, you can be plainly over
joyed to see him, and by the tenor
of his response perhaps find out
where you stand. If you think it's
the same as before, you can en-
courage him where before you dis
couraged him.

mark about money. Don't let a
girl work you by making you spend
money you can't afford. Don't let
her hold you up for six birthdays a
year. Don't let her get away with a
limiting campaign about wrist
watches and jeweled bracelets for
Christmas. But, on the other hand,
don't be one of the cheap skates
who make a girl feel that he be-
grudges every cent he spends upon
her.
Better sandwich and beer supper
given with a grand air of nothing
being too good for a girl than feast
at a de luxe restaurant where the
boy adds up the bill three times and
wrangles over the price and holds
out on the tip.
Don't be bossy. Just because you
date q girl up now 4nd then don't
feel that you have right to tell her
whom she may 60 with, what kind of
clothes she may wear and how much
lipstick she shall use. That is a
privilege man has to pay for by
marriage.

point a famous cosmetic house pre-

include proper creams, lotions, light
lipstick, pale nail polish and an
assortment of all the cosmetics that
the not-quite-grown-up set requires.
In New York we saw the idea in

that it was really boon to the
adolescents. Actually we think it a
fine idea that the very young
girls may have preparations suited
to their needs-don't you?
For their older sisters and mothers,
however, the world of beauty is
still doing its best -, Lately, due
to the rage for fuchsia, there has
been introduced a new color In rouge

with practically everything and any
thing. This new shade is most
effective when the rouge is used
sparingly and the npstick heavily

Hair Styles
For Spring.
Did you know that during each
period of comparative prosperity
women's hair is always shorter?
So says a leading expert on the care
of the coiffure-even though she
can't account for the fact. This
spring-since times are better-the
hair will be much shorter" she
explains. "It will probably be about
inches in length all over the head.
The upswept is fast disappearing
and this new way will be much
easier to keep in place. Look back
and you will discover that when
business is good and money is more
plentiful, hair is shorter"

obvious remark about the price of
a haircut, 'tisnt so ..

Manners
of the
Moment

Several men have complained to
me lately that they're getting tired
OF those personality-plus smiles that
some of the girls are turning on
these days.
These personality smiles, they say,
consist Of several square feet of
teeth, and eyes all crinkled up. OBJ
viously, the men claim they are
smiles that have been practiced in
front of mirror.
Now it's not that the men object
to smiles. A nice, cordial, everyday
smile is swell. But they're getting
wise to smiles, so the girls probablJ
ought to be careful. Since the men
are beginning to recognize the type
Of smile that is turned on like a tar,
you might just as well not bother
any more.
Smile when you feel like smiling
in your own sweet way. And when
you don't feel like it, don't smile.
At least you can try that for awhile,
and see how the men respond.

Dorothy Dix Says
Boys Who Want to Be Popular
Better Check on This Advice

Boys, If you want to make q hit
with girls: Don't be sloppy. Don't
look like something the cat brought
in and expect a girl to be proud to
step out with it. Women put even
more stress on appearances than
men do, and a girl likes to be proud
of her boy friend. She doesn't
want to be ashamed of him and
have to explain how 1t happened.
Don't be conceited. Don't act as
If you were Gods gift to the female
sex and girl was being blessed be-
yond her deserts when you conde-
scended to show her some attention.
Not many girls have any appetite
for humble pie, and it makes them
hopping mad for a man to adopt
this Boy Scout attitude of doing-a-
nd-thing-to-a -little-girl.
Don't be a dummy. Don't sit up
like craven image and expect her
to work like dray horse entertain
ing you. The great, silent men
may make hit in the movies, but
they make girls very, very tired in
real life.
Don't talk about yourself and
your personal interests exclusively.
OF course, you are terribly good
looking and all the girls fall for
you: you are great and marvellous
genius, but by the time you have
monologued about yourself for q
couple OF hours a girl is liable to get
plenty fed up on it. Nobody put
your mother wants to hear the de-
tails about everything you do.
A girl is willing to lend you her
ears, but she doesn't want to give
them to you for keeps unless you
are talking to her about herself.
That is different story. You will
never bore girl as long as you
make her the topic of your CONVEX
sation.

Recently we discovered special

cleansing agent, they tell us, will not
clog the pores, but will clear them
of dirt, quickly and efficiently. You
apply the cream and allow it to re-

so. Then stroke your face with the
proper upward and outward motion
until the cream disappears and con-
tinue to massage the skin until a
white mask appears on the surface,

Harmonic

Decorative colors were used in
the days when English Regency fur
niture fourished. These colors-in
line with the vogue for pastels in
modern decoration-go splendidly
with the dark mahogany wood in
which the Regency furniture is
made. These tones include crimson,
gold, Chinese pink, lemon. buff
silver, cream, pale lavender, apricot,
light green and maroon. Light sea-
green, apricot and pale lavender
were favorite colors for walls, but
other bright hues were also used.

RESPONSIBLE

Reconstruction of Williamsburg
with homes and furnishings exactly
as they were in the golden years of
that towns existence, has done a
great deal to bring into prominence
some of the fine Southern Colonial
mahogany furniture which was so
popularly used in those early days.
This project also brings for us a
new foundation for future antiques,
since all Of the reproductions of this
furniture-authentically produced
are being hall-marked for future

q comparatively fiat chest.
Raising the waistline to the
floating rib, as we advised for the
short figure, may mean increasing
1t fraction of an inch.
But 1t will make the hips look
several inches smaller. It gives a
smooth, sloping line instead of show
Ing the suddenly outjutting shelf
OF the actual hips.
2. Flare the skirt straight from
the hips and wear 1t about an
inch longer than the prevailing
style.
No hobble skirts to grip you
round the knees and throw the hips
into relief.
The longer you wear your gored
skirt, within reason of course, the
more fullness you have at the hem
to belittle your hips.
X X X 4
3. Wear lighter colors above
the waist.
A light-colored bodice or a bright
colored jacket will help to read1ust
your proportions, making the bust
seem larger.
While the darker colors below the
waist will camouflage the hips
adroitly.
1. Wear thicker fabrics above
the waist.
Try these to bring your proper
tons into better alignment:
A quilted satin waist-length
blouse worn with a thin crepe skirt.
Or wool bolero over a silk skirt.
Or brief fur jacket or cape over
thin wool skirt.
S. Build up the bust and
shoulders with detail.
Use gathered detail to accent the
bust or horizontally tucked vestee
or widely spaced lapels.
Wear padded shoulders or epaulet
shoulders.
Never wear raglan sleeves.
But emphasize the top of the
sleeve in some way with slashing
or inverted pleats or medieval ef-
fects, full to the elbow and fitted
below it.
Eibow-length capes will broaden
the shoulders, too.
All these devices minimize the
hips.
s. Use diagonal lines below the
waist.
Set the skirt onto the bodice in
an upward point.
Or set pockets in the skirt slant
wise or wear a cutaway jacket.
Or try a pointed bodice above
gathered dirndl skirt.
I. Never outline the hips at
their equator.
Never wear a hip-length jacket
squared off at the bottom.
Wear jackets with rounded corners
which are really a variation Of the
point device we mentioned just now
This line pointing away from the
hips leading the eye upward toward
the bodice is your basic motif.
Use it in every way. for it never
fails to suit your purpose.
8. Avoid small hats.
Your hat should help your shoul-
ders to distract the eye from your
hips.
Brims help you to distribute your
weight to better advantage.
However. your brim may be rolled
off the face
Or a stiff. f1aring veil may be
substituted for a brim, particularly
in a dinner hat
8. Accessories should be large.
A large bag is best for you.
And your jewelry should include
necklaces and earrings for above
the waist interest.

should be generously proper.

Machine carving, though it lacks
the individuality of hand carving
is much less expensive, since it is
done by multiple carvers. Machine
carving on furniture is not as
cleanly or as sharply cut as hand
carving, but If gone over by hand
after machine, 1t gives an excellent
appearance at fraction Of the
cost of hand carving.
