And Remember to Be
Easy on the Makeup!
The lads like to be seen with
girls who use makeup subtly. Per-
haps the maids they know do use
more paint and powder than they
suspect, but faces are so skillfully
improved that they never realize
that this peaches -and-cream COM
plexion and that lovely mouth came
out of a box or jar.
Too, they admire dependable girls.
Girls who don't break dates at the
last minute; girls who appear on
time; girls who answer letters
prom pity; girls who can be counted
on to be fun at any party; girls
who are as good as their word.
These fine qualities inspire mascu-
line confidence and respect-alway
important to every smart maid.
The girl the critical fellows like
best makes the most of what
she has-personallty. face, figure,
clothes, money, educational advan-
tages. background and other less
tangible possessions.
1t isn't at all necessary for her
to be raving beauty, or to have
money, or to spend a lot of time
in parked cars. She is popular for
other, more important reasons.
She's such a good dancer that boys
never notice that her dress isn't
new. She's so personable and
friendly that people naturally en-
Joy having her with them. She
realizes that mere possessions won't
make her popular. She knows it's
what she does with them that really
counts.

Dorothy Dix Says
Parents Must Not Be Disturbed
If They Seldom See Daughter

But take heart of grace. Don't be
too disappointed in your daughter
and don't be discouraged. You are
just facing for the first time what
all the other parents of pretty and
popular girls have to go through.
Probably there isn't a father and
mother in the world who haven't
looked at their Mamies and Sadies
when they were boy and gad-
ding-craZy. and when the only
things on earth they were interested
in were dancing and movies and
tearing madly around in jalopies,
and when they had time to talk to
some pimply-faced lad for hours,
but couldn't give papa few min
utes, without wondering why on
earth they didn't drown them in
the bathtub when they were born.
But they get over it and turn
into sensible women. That is one
of Gods miracles at which their
pcIclil lleScl CcdSc W Ut SUI pi lSCu.
1t is hard, Of course, for fathers and
mothers ever to face the truth
that their children are not inter-
ested in them as they are in their
children; that while they long to
be with their children, their chill
dren are bored by them and yearn
to get away to youngsters Of their
own age, who speak their language
and want to do the same things
they do. But it is one of the in
escapable facts of life that we have
to accept with what philosophy
we may.
But, in reality, your daughter
wanting to spend all of her time
playing around instead of being
with you doesn't show that she
does not love you and appreciate
you. 1t only means that she is
at the age when good time means
more to her than anything else in
the world Let her enjoy herself
while she can. Youth is SO short.

Engagement
Party for
Family
Fiance's Parents
Should Attend
The Dinner
BY EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: Are the mans
parents and sisters and brothers sup
posed to be invited to the dinner at
which their sons engagement is to be
formally announced? This situation
has us little bothered. I'm going
to have my engagement announced
soon at a fairly large dinnar given
by my family. Our intimate family
circle includes an assortment of
aunts and uncles and cousins and
several grandparents, and there are
of course few of my parents dear
est friends whe would never be left
out of such a party My fiance's
family-that is. his parents-are
practically strangers. l have be-
come quite friendly with some of his
younger sisters. Since this is pretty
much of a family dinner of our own
family, must we include the other
family who are as yet no nearer to
us than the length of the town that
divides our houses?
Answer: This answer depends too
much upon locality to answer def
nitely further than that in New
York. for example, it would be quite
all right to consider that a party
so Immediately within your family
circle need include none who are
still strangers. But in other COM
munities, especially small ones. to
leave the mans family cut would be
a decided slight My answer would
be that since you are in doubt you
should invite them. Certainly it is
better to err on the friendly side
than on the unfriendly..
Dear Mrs. Post: (a) Will you
please tell me proper conduct during
regular church services, on special
occasions such as communion,' we'd
dings, etc? (b) Also, when people
arrive late, is it improper for them
to be shown to their seats and should
they take their own places instead
of having an usher to seat them?
Answer: (a) I am sorry I can't
send you rules because the ritual
varies in churches of different de-
nominations, but if you sit toward
the back of the church, then you
need merely do what all those in
front of you are doing-stand when
they stand, sit when they sit, kneel
when they kneel, etc. 1t is of course
unnecessary to add that you do not
talk to any one and that you sit
quietly and give your attention to
the service. CD If many of the peWs
are owned, then you have to wait for
an usher to show you into seats that
are available. But in a free church
you would take your places in the
nearest pew that has space in it, as
quietly as you can.

compartment dish filled with rad
ishes. salted nuts, pickles and oyster
crackers, placed upon the table as
the soup is being served.
Salad As the
Main Course.
Next will come your main course
"a fish or meat salad in avocado
shells. I'll give you the recipe for
this one, because it is particularly
good, and may be altered according
to available ingredients with great
success:
SALAD ON THE HALF SHELL.
avocado halves.
Lemon juice.
Salt.
Worcestershire sauce.
cups faxed salmon, tuna, crab
meat, shrimp, or lobster; cooked
chicken, beef, veal, or pork.
21a cups sliced celery.
y cup diced cucumber
Z cup tart mayonnaise or French
dressing.
Ripe olives, lettuce, lemon slices.
Cut the avocados into halves
lengthwise and remove the seeds.
Sprinkle the cut surfaces with lemon
juice and salt Combine meat or fish
with the celery, cucumbers, may
onnaise, lemon juice and worcester
shire sauce to taste. Toss ingredients
lightly together. Arrange the half
shells on a platter garnished with
lettuce, lemon slices and ripe olives.
Shred the meat of the avocado
halves lightly with fork around
the seed cavity. Fill halves with
meat or fish mixture, rounding we'll
on top. The avocados and the fill
ing should be we'll chilled before
serving.
If you can manage it without too
much trouble, big pan of spoon
bread or bursting popovers would go
we'll with the salad. Have plenty
of butter balls at hand-and it will
surprise you to see how people for
get all about their figures when
confronted with such temptation!
Rolls from the bakery, heated, could
be substituted if you wish.
Avocadoes are rich and filling
when served this way, so you won't
need very heavy dessert. Rasp-
berry waterice, covered with big black
canned cherries, and coconut lay
er cake would just about fill the bill.
Sounds cockeyed for Sunday
dinner, doesn't it?-but it's fun to
be different occasionally!

Kindness Can
Sometimes
Do Harm
Lending Too Much
Assistance May
Be a Handicap
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Betty. 2l2 years old, fell off
the swing and broke her arm.
The doctor mended it and hung
it in a sling, and Betty went
on as usual. That means, Betty
helped herself just as much as she
possibly could. Having her right
hand bandaged she fed herself
cheerfully with the left and did a
very good job, all things considered.
Her mother looked on, lending a
hand only when it was absolutely
necessary.
1t being a fine day mother de-
cided to take Betty out to grand
mas. The ride would be pleasant
for the child and she loved to visit.
When they reached the old home
stead they found Aunt Hattie there
with her two children, a boy of 6
and girl of Betty's age. The chill
dren played happily together until
they were called to lunch.
Aunt Hattie took over the boys
plate, cut his meat and vegetables
and handed him a fork. He puck
cred his face and threatened to
weep.
Want me to feed you, dear? All
right. You take turns with sister" F"
His mother actually fed these two,
turn and turn about, getting what
she could of her lunch between
whiles.
On the opposite side of the table
sat mother and Betty. Betty was
proceeding calmly to eat her lunch
with her left hand. Mother cut her
chop and left her to help herself.
"Why don't you help that poor
child? Her arm broken and she
has to feed herself with her left
hand" said Aunt Hattie with in
dignation trembling in her voice.
Betty does not need help. She
does very we'll by herself, Hattie"
II think you are the most selfish,
most cruel person I ever met. Poor
infant. I'm too sorry for her for
words"
A quick answer rose to mothers
lips. but she swallowed 1t and smiled
at Betty who smiled back and went
on chewing. Grandma looked from
one to the other of her daughters,
dWelt for an instant on the picture
of the 6-year-old boy being fed from
a spoon, and said nothing. But the
party was spoiled.
Which mother was the selfish
cruel one? Not Betty's mother. 1t
was no joy to her to see her little
daughters arm in sling. Nor to
have to sit by and watch her get
along with one hand. She wanted
to reach out and do for that child
with all her heart and soul, but her
mind said, 'Let her alone to help
herself. She must stand alone soon
Better let her get ready
The most selfish thing a mother
can do is to help her child to be
helpless, q burden to himself and
to other people. The kindest thing
she can do for him is to teach him
from the first day forward, to help
himself as far as he can, as long
as he can, in as many ways as he
can.
Every time child helps himself
does a job under his own will and
initiative, he gains in intelligence
and physical power. Every time he
helps somebody else he gains in
intelligence and power. The help
less child is at the mercy of what
ever circumstances rise to trouble
him. The child who has been taught
to help himself and others controls
the circumstances and makes his
way through them.
