Dear Mrs. Post: My husband and
I had been hoping for a baby boy
and We not only got our wish, but
one more boy for good measure.
We would like to name one boy for
his father and the other boy for his
fathers brother-the child's uncle
Will you please tell us If this is
proper and how the names would be
written?
Answer-Name the first one your
husbands exact name and add
Junior" and give the second one
his uncle's name and add second"
Dear Mrs. Post: My husband died
many years ago. and 1 have been re-
married for over six years. My
daughter is now going to marry my
present husbands son. Is it proper
that her stepfather to walk up the
aisle with her inasmuch as she is
marrying his son? Or doesn't that
make any dlf1erence?
Answer-It will be quite all right
to walk with him; in fact, think the
idea Of double tie of relationship
would be unusually appealing.

Dear Mrs. Post: recently married

quite all right so far as I am con-
cerned, because I am very much
younger than their father. But now
they want to know how to introduce
me to their friends. They don't like
the word "stepmother" any better
than I do.

Dorothy Dix Says
Sudden Riches Do Not Always
Prove to Be Real BLESSING

DEAR DOROTHY DIX-My hus-
band and I were of the usual run
Of people in middle circumstances
when suddenly inherited a fortune.
We are rich now and can do what
ever we want to do, and I want to
travel. We have bought a plane
and are taking instructions, and
both Of us have soloed. What I
long to do is to 60 to far places,
but my husband is a mechanical
engineer who has been with the
same company for more than %
years and he is beset with the fear
that he cannot take more than a
month of from his Job or he might
lose 1t. He Is not well, but he thinks
that II he retired, as I urge him to
do, that he will be in the same pre-
dicament that other men are who
retire-that he will be bored to
death because he will not have any
thing congenial to do. So there we
are, both under so. with no children,
plenty of money and me raring to
go and he stuck in the mud. I
have enough energy and pep for
three women, and it seems a shame
that I can't do what I so long to
do, yet I cannot afford to spoil my
husbands life by forcing him to
leave his beloved work. He would
just let down and give up, for he
is the plodder type, not the 60
getter like me. I know what the
conventional answer to the question
Of what I ought to do is, but what
will I get out of life in that case?
I want to have some fun and ex-
citement and interest. I like to
dance. My husband doesn't. I am
looking up restaurants that supply
dancing partners. But dancing
isn't really what I want to do.

Hair Beauty
Ruined by
Neglect
Care in Early Life
Insures Lovely
Appearance
Bv PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Young girls are inclined to depend
too much on nature and its marvel
Gus reconditioning powers when it
comes to the care of their hair They
think they can be Indifferent to hair
health and beauty and still have
glamorous halo. But they are great
ly mistaken. Hair beauty depends
upon the care you give your head
and the younger one learns that
lesson, the better.
II you went hatless this summer
despite my advice you now have
a job of reconditioning to do at once.
For streaked, brittle hair does not
fit into the devastating glamour
scene of this season.
Your first step in the program is
a pre-shampoo oil treatment. There
are good reconditioning oils on the
market for this purpose. Olive oil,
or castor oil, heated and applied to
your scalp the night previous, are
excellent. Others like a formula
made of equal parts of eucalyptus
and olive oil with a few drops of
castor oil. Steam it well into your
hair and scalp by wrapping your
head In steaming turkish towels.
Tie it up for the night and shampoo
1t thoroughly with a liquid soap
shampoo the next day. Rinse very
well and dry pretty much by hand,
rather than under dryer.
Then, my pet, brush it. Brush it
until oohn
and away from the scalp, getting
every strand of hair. After that YOU
may set it, or 60 and have a setting
without lotion, and staying under
the dryer not one minute more than
necessary.
Scalp massage with your fingers
and hair-brushing sessions must be
increased. You should indulge in
them every single day and not care
hoot If your wave muses. a bit.
Always wear a shower cap when
you bathe.
Do not use hot iron to curl your
hair. Fuss with curriers' instead
using the leather-covered ones pref
erably to the metal ones, or tie your
hair up in rag curriers' to get nice
natural effect.
Do not use any brilliantine dur
ing this treatment period-or any
other preparation on your hair other
than a bit of scalp pomade to keep
your scalp sufficiently oily.
Shampoo every week as suggested
above, and at the end of one month,
or six weeks If your hair has been
badly neglected, advise you to have
every bit of the old permanent cut
off before you have a new curl put
in. If your hair is naturally curly
simply have 1t trimmed or thinned
out.
Then from now on, spend time at
least twice week giving your hair
20 minutes of grooming. OF course,
I assume you will keep brushing it
every day, but massage it twice
week and apply tonic or a scalp
pomade If 1t needs one.

leaps forth and waves his arms
wildly but silently. The arriving
guest gulps bit, but follows the
cord through some shrubbery, where
another confederate utters weird,
throaty means.
Passing the garage, the party
goer's ears are assailed by clanking
chains. A few seconds later his
cropping fingers encounter very
cold and very damp oyster attached
to the cord. He then steps on a
door laid on the ground over a pole
or piece Of pipe, so that i. rolls
under his feet. He finally reaches
the shelter Of the back porch, but
only after having to walk over sew
eral gunny sacks Allied with wet
sawdust.
Here He Receives
A Ghostly Greeting.
Inside. he is greeted by the ghost
ly figure of the host, who extends
soft, slimly hand-a rubber glove,
loosely stuffed and then dampened
with ice water. Having his ankles
nipped with a hair curler a moment
later further destroys the guests
peace OF mind. AS he proceeds
through the dark toward the party
rooms, some one whispers Worms"
in his ears, and fills his outstretched
hand with cold cooked spaghetti.
Then flashlight lightning flashes,
and thunder peals (stones rolled on
sheet of TIM, and he reaches
the scene OF the party in a state
Of mild hysteria.
i In addition to the traditional
Halloween decorations - cornstalks,
autumn leaves, jack-o lanterns,
orange and black streamers, etc.-an
eerie effect can be obtained with
crepe paper moss, hanging from
wires strung along the ceiling and
suspended from branches in the
doorWays. In one corner a pot
covered with black paper SINNERS
over fire, made with red cloth or
paper over flashlight or electric
bulb, and covered with sticks. Here
an old witch will later tell the for
tunes, without which no Halloween
party is complete.
Buy a Skeleton
Of Paper.
A skeleton of paper or other ma
terial may be purchased in most
novelty stores. Hung in dusky
corner, with some such sign as DO
not touch-not entirely dead" this
little number will add greatly to the
spirit Of the occasion.
When the nerves of the guests are
sufficiently frayed, they can be
startled by such usually innocent
sounds as the siren of a toy fire
engine, or vacuum cleaner being
turned on and off in the next room.
The witch who will tell the fortunes
will have little trouble with her
costume. A gray or black loose
fitting gown, a conical hat made of
cardboard covered with crepe paper,
and straggly gray hair or frayed
rope or Woolen cloth, will do the
trick. Pieces of black paper pasted
