EXCHANGING DUPLICATE
PRESENTS
BY EMILY POST

Dear Mrs. Post: May l write
to a friend of the groom's family
and ask her i she minded exchang-
ing their wedding present? I al
ready had a toaster and it is GER
tainly unnecessary to have two of
them. The other toaster came from
out of town, too. and from friends
who live much farther away.
Answer: 1t is always proper for
a bride to exchange duplicate
presents, but as rule she simply
exchanges whichever one she can
without asking permission. If you
have a record of the store at which
this gift was bought, you could
write to them and explain the sit
uation and name another item, or
perhaps give them choice of sew
eral that you would like instead of
the toaster, You could not possibly
ask to have a refund of money!
II you don't know where the gift
came from. then i don't see any
other way than to keep it.

Tacoma teachers constantly have
lobbied here for the measure, and
it was due to the efforts of Rep.
z. A. (Zack) Vane, South Tacoma,
that the bill was placed on the cal
endar by an Overwhelmingly I'M
friendly rules committee. Vane is
an ex-school teacher.
The bill insures teachers the

and perhaps one in a thousand can
be trusted with two contrasts.
In fact two contrasts
are never better than one
or even as good.
So let's make 1t a rule to stick to
two colors at the most.
In this connection we exclude
jewelry. You might find black
dress with a chartreuse chiffon
handkerchief tucked into the high
neck vastly improved by a jade
clip.
But that's advanced stuff. Let's
stick to first principles.
I Your hat should match your
coat and shoes.
Then when you take off
your coat if your dress is a
different shade, the same con-
trast above and below it will
give a finished look.
= Your shoes should match your
4 bag, if possible.
We have explained that this
is comparatively easy now
adays.
> Always repeat colorful accent
- at least once, but not too often.
A touch of color on
your hat repeated by
gloves or bOutOnniere or
belt or blouse or jewelry
looks well.
But don't harp on that accent.

Turn the Trick
We once saw a woman turn thu
trick at cost of exactly six cents
She had brought a
black lined coat dress
whose closing was edged
with heavy ecru lace of
an ordinary pattern. She
had a black fabric bonnet.
So she looked over the lace
counter of her favorite department
store, spied the identical lace being
sold by the yard. bought enough
for halo round the faceline of
her hat and made 1t absolutely
belong to that dress.
HER SIXPEN e HAD
GIVEN HER THAT CUSTOM
LOOK. THE WAYS TO DO
THIS ARE INFINIT E.
SOMETIMES 1T DOESN'T
EVEN COST SIXPENCE.
It's the easiest thing in the
world to wed our winter hat and
coat till death do them part.
II the coat has Persian on 1t, a
touch of Persian on the hat makes
them one ensemble that looks not
merely flung together but abso-
lutely made for each other.
Gray Suit
If you have gray suit with n
narrow brown leather belt. get n
gray felt hat with brown leather
band.
Little milliners are particu-
larry interested In doing this
sort of thing, 50 don't be
afraid to ask.
They'll whip off a bit of trim
ming and stick on what you want
while you wait. They ought to be
encouraged to indulge their talent.
Incidentally, the shoe people are
making a point of assembling
shoes and bags, matching the
feathers and repeating the same
motif on both.
whenever possible take ad-
vantage Of such service.
This trick of repeating the same
motif Is the easiest and most ele-
mentary principle of assembling
a costume. The next step is some
what more difficult.
Combining Lines: When you buy
coat or jacket to 60 over a
dress. you must consider four lines
neck-line, waist line, sleeve-line
and hem-line.
II your coat has a collarless
neck-line, your dress must supply a
collar, or you must wear q scarf
of some sort.
Remember that one neck
line-dress or coat-must he
collared or filled In.
Your coat and dress must CO.
incide at the waist-line. otherwise
you'll get bunchy effect, and
when you throw the coat open, the
discovery of two waist-lines dis
agreeing violently will be dis
astrous.
Fitted Coats
Also. you can not wear a fitted
coat over a suit without looking
like piece of overstuffed furni-
ture.
This does not, however. ne
cessitate q long swagger coat.
Infinitely smarter are short
box Jackets.
They can even 60 over furred
suits.
Also, when considering waist
lines, rer ember that a dress with
sash is going to give a hunch-
backed effect under a fitted coat.
So too with sleeves; pad
ded shoulders can't go under
raglan shoulders, obviously, or
full sleeves under fitted ones.
Finally with lines, II both
coat and dress are full length they
must hang the same distance from
the floor or the effect is slovenly.
Fortunately this is a simple mat
ter for your tailor to adjust.
