In addition, 1t prevents the pulling

which often accompanies heavy
corsages. AS we mentioned, the
lapel flowers are quite the vogue
and very unusual. Don't, however,
be too extreme. Flowers may be
worn on the hat or gloves, but it
is not popular here in Washington.

this:

With tailored outflts-Violets,

With ultra feminine clothes
Mixed flowers or sweetheart roses.

And for that extra touch when

Manners
of the
Moment

It's very NICE to see contented
mothers out wheeling contented ba-
bies along the sidewalk in the after
Moons.
But do wish they wouldn't march
In battalions. How in the world is
a childless pedestrian supposed to
pass them?
Really, ladies, single file is all
that should be allowed. except on
very broad highways especially con-
structed for parades.
After all, in some sections of the
country, the police run people in for
obstructing the sidewalks. Id hate
to see them start on mothers of
little babies in baby carriages, to be
sure.
But if the Nation is to be kept in
a state of calm, it would, I think
help a bit if people wheeling baby
carriages tried going tandem for a
while. JEAN.

Question Of
Entering
Vehicle
Gentleman ALWAYS
Waits for Ladies
To Be Seated
By EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: If man intends
to sit between two girls in the rear
seat of an automobile. should he get
into the car after the first girl has
gotten in, or should he wait until
both girls are in?
AnsWer-He should wait until both
have gotten in. A man always gets
into vehicle last, but he gets out
of it first and helps the women.
X
Dear Mrs. Post: I've run into
little problem that presents an
awkward situation. MY husband
lived in this small community sew
eral months before I came here
Business acquaintance were, dur
ing that time. very kind to him and
invited him to dinner often. The
week after I arrived they asked us
to go with them for drive and to
have dinner with them at a hotel
That is, we all paid for our own din
ners. After we returned I invited
them into the house, but the wife
said she was tired and they left. I
don't know whether she is simply
of different nature or whether she
didn't feel like being especially
agreeable to me, but 1 couldn't feel
that she meant to be very friendly.
Now my husband feels that should
invite them here to dinner and I
feel, on the contrary. that we should
wait for her to invite us. They en-
tertained him and not me and she
hasn't inspired me sufficiently to
want to risk breaking the rules" in
this new town. What do you think?
AnsWer-As a matter of fact,
you're perfectly safe to fall back on
the rule Of convention, which is that
the stranger never invites the older
resident until the older resident has
first invited the stranger to her
house. If they had invited you to
dinner as their guests, then it would
be your turn to return that invi-
tation. But since she has not called
on you. which is also according to
etiquette supposed necessity be-
fore giving first invitation, and
since the dinner was Dutch treat
one at which your husband paid
your and his share, I think, quite
apart from the way you feel, it would
be IN best taste to wait until the
next move is made by her. In other
words. 1t would be against conven-
ton and only because you felt that
she was particularly hospitable and
friendly would you be right in
waving ceremony and inviting them
10 your house without waiting for
them to invite you first. If your
husband chooses to suggest another
Dutch treat of some sort to the
other husband, this would, of course
be all right, but otherwise If I were
you would follow my instinct and
wait.
Dear Mrs. Post: Is fine lace cloth
never used on a dinner table? am
business woman and never have
Time to give lunch parties. I wish
l could use a fine lace cloth. which
was left to me by an aunt as a din
ner cloth, but somewhere I've also
inherited feeling that lace was
unsuitable for dinner. Perhaps to-
days custom is not so strict.
Answer-Of course you can use q
lace cloth at dinner. The only rule
Is against putting it over a colored
lining. If you think that the bare
table shining through the mesh of
the lace is too suggestive of supper
instead Of dinner, you can put on
white damask cloth flrst and then
put your lace cloth On. top Of that.

Enriched by
Mahogany

Queen Anne furniture is distin-
guished by its rich veneerings and
wood treatments. It is almost en-
tirely devoid of marquetry and inlay
and its beauty is derived from the
cutting and shaping of structural
wood. This style greatly benefited
by the introduction of mahogany
into England for general use as a
cabinet wood since that wood has
so many figures which are of en-
during natural beauty.

Women are certainly the world S
greatest optimiStS, at least where
marriage is concerned, because every
mothers daughter of them is firmly
and unalterably convinced that her
marriage can never be anything but
heaven on earth.
When she looks about her and
takes note of the diSgruntled wives
of her acquaintance she is bound to
perceive that woman is just about
as likely to draw SWeepStake prize
as she is to get Prince Charming
for a husband But this doesn t
dampen her enthusiasm for the holy
estate a whit, because. no matter
how many other women have failed
in it. she just knows that she is
going to be gloriously happy. The
possibility that her marriage might
also 60 on the rocks never even
crosses her mind.
That is why girls are SO anxious
to marry. That is why they take
the most hazardous chances in
marriage and tie up with drunkards,
roues and no-accounts. They are
sold on the belief that Immediately
after marriage their husbands will
change from examples of vice to
models of virtue and that they will
live blissfully together ever after.
And it is why the women who do
not marry always feel that they
have been cheated in life and
missed the best thing in it, regard
less of what other blessings have
been vouchsafed them.
The other day a woman of 40,
who is good-looking. intelligent,
popular and SO successful in busi-
ness that she makes far more than
the average husband could give her,
was making her moan to me be-
cause she isn't married.

all of the moisture that would be

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
have bedroom with distinct
blue and white paper. Possibly you
know the design: it is called
"WedgWood' and is the shade OF
the pottery with figures on it in
white I like it very much, but it
is difficult to use anything with it
but white. I need new dresser
skirt, new curtains and new up
holstery for loveseat and three
chairs. Is there anything you can
think of that will give the room
some pep without spelling the
effect of the paper? I still like
the blue and white, but it definitely
needs some other color to set it off.

token, so gentlemen, take heed.
Ordinarily this department concerns
itself with subjects directly for
women, but in this case it's the gen.
tlemen who should know what's
news in the world Of flowers. So
we're hoping that some puzzled
males who ordinarily 60 around for
getting birthdays and anniversaries
will accidentally peek at this page.
If they don't, there may be some
demure but determined lady who
will leave it conspicuously in sight
just as a gentle hint.
Most important. says an expert on
hearts and flowers, is that the gen.
tleman discover what outfit milady
expects to wear in the Easter parade.
Men are inclined to be lazy" he
told us, land they won't bother to
find out what the lady is wearing
That's one reason why gardenias
have long been so popular. They
go with everything and anything"
Second the motion. It's pretty hard
to be enthusiastic over red roses
when you're wearing a fuchsia suit.
So do find out the color, and then
let the florist help you.
This spring, orchids are still the
favorite with most women. Large,
luscious ones are a real thrill for
almost any girl, but many very small
ones are being shown. Six or eight
tiny orchids worn in spray are
effective and in extremely good
taste. Yellow ones, known as
cypripedium orchids, are smart and
go very well with the popular char
treuse shade that fashion has de-
creed.
Carnations Are
Fashion Note.
An interesting idea introduced this
season is that Of wearing two bou-
tonnieres, one on each lapel of your
suit. This idea may have been in
spired by the craze for lapel gadgets,
but at any rate, it is clever way
of wearing flowers, and a bit un-
usual. The boutonnieres are gen.
orally made of carnations. nicely
bound and tied with ribbons. and
those of dark red or pink will set
off grey or oxford suit to perfec-
ton. Most surprising news is that
camellias are replacing gardenias to
great extent. We don't mean that
you can't or mustn't buy gardenias,
but you will find that while they
were once considered very luxurious,
they are now not quite as smart
The same thing is true of roses.
Another fascinating idea is to use
mixed spring flowers to make up a
gay and typically seasonal corsage.
Violets are fast returning to favor,
for they are generally liked and
when done in corsage with a rose
center are both beautiful and very
we'll suited to present fashion trends.
Lily of the valley makes a lovely
floral arrangement either alone or
mixed with other posies. and dainty
sweet peas are ever popular.
Wear Flowers
Correctly.
After the best beau has done his
part in sending flowers. the next
move is up to the ladies. How
to wear them? Corsages this season
are often worn at the waist. and
this is now considered very smart

Ia ke Off
Excess
Fat
without suffering . hungry
moment, Or taking strenuous
exercises or drugs

IRON coast-to-coast, you nowh hear
L women singing the praises of a
thrilling new reducing method. A
method which DR.. Damrau of New
York demonstrated in tests among a
group of intelligent and cooperative
people who followed directions implic-
lily, was responsible for an average
loss in weight of Z pounds per month.
Most amazing, this method does
NOT call for special diet lists. You
never suffer a hungry moment. Nor
is it necessary for you to take SIREN
uous exercises, or drugs.
All you have to do is eat sensibly,
which means that you avoid over
eating, and drink q of a glass of
Welch's Grape Juice, mixed with Il
of a glass of water, before meals and
at bedtime. Thus reducing the ca
loric intake considerably.
How This Pleasant Way
Takes or Excess Fail
Nothing could be easier, or more
pleasant. Yet!-this is what hap
pens. First, this delicious drink salts
fies your craving for rich, sweet
foods. You have less desire to over
eat fattening foods-but you do feel
comfortably full. Second, the grape
sugar in Welch's is quickly con-
sumed, and by this process helps
nature to consume excess fat.
Thus weight is lost naturally and
safely. And this remarkable method
is Just as beneficial and effective for
overweight men, as it is for over
weight women.
