 Say it with hearts, at that Val entine party for the young folks. Write the invitations on red hearts, or use Valentines Dress up the house with gay strings of hearts in different sizes, match cut-out hearts for refreshment partners and serve the foods in as many heart versions as possible.
 Young people like sandwiches and sandwiches are ample as refresh ments when served with steaming chocolate, topped with a froth of whipped cream.
 Since the guests will like their sandwiches dainty and unusual here are some suggestions:

Unmold them bouquet fashion on a large tray. Cut leaves from green gelatine sheets Touch up with cress or strips of lettuce. Let the guests help themselves to the salad and also to dressing placed in bowl concealed in red heart.

Dorothy Dix Says
Marriage Cannot Survive
1ncessant Quarreling

Undoubtedly, the most dangerous
diversion in which any married cou-
pie can indulge is quarreling. 1t
kills love quicker than anything else
on earth. It alienates the affec-
tions of more husbands and wives
than all the platinum blonds and
gigolos who ever lived. And it
causes more divorces than all the
major and minor vices combined.
All this being a matter of COM
mon knowledge, it would seem that
even a husband and wife of just
average intelligence would avoid
acrimonious arguments as the devil
does holy water. You would think
that, knowing they had to live to-
gether for the next 80 or 40 years,
they would make an effort to cause
the time to pass pleasantly and
peaceably instead of in sordid squab-
bles; that they would step high,
wide and handsome around those
topics that each knew would be ana
thema to the other.
But such is not the case. In only
too many households the favorite
indoor amusement is scrapping, and
the daily spat is just as much a
part of the routine as the coffee
and toast for breakfast and the soup
and roast for dinner. Apparently
the average husband and wife con-
slider that bit of name-calling is
just nice fun that is one of the
perquisites of domesticity.
OF course, husbands and wives JUS

.MenMustNOt
Danish Good
Grooming
Calisthenics Will
Keep One Fit and
Mentally Alert
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

II men desire their wives, moth
ers, sisters and sweethearts to be
meticulous In their grooming there
isn't reason in this wide world
why they themselves should not be
we'll groomed.
1t is definitely essential for a man
to have a clean body, clean,
healthy scalp and a skin free of
eruptions. His physique could re-
semble the normal human form. too.
II he would Danish stupid prejudices
regardlng menus and exercising.
Somehow American men have the
silly idea that meat and potatoes
make for Drawn and brains and all
other foods, such as raw, fresh vepe-
tables and fruits land cooked yege-
tables and fruits) are Just fancy
notions for menus. A hunk of apple
pie and cheese is he-man's dessert
and II you tell pudgy, overweight
man that they are not for him, he
will smile and say, There's a lot
of me to feed, so need apple pie
and cheese"
During the early 4os our average
American sweetheart begins to show
signs of age and loses his priced
appeal! His head becomes bald, his
chin grows into two or more, his
stomach is paunchy, his posture
slumped and his enthusiasm is less
ened. He becomes content to sit out
his week ends and evenings and likes
to tell wife and friends that his
badness is hereditary and his over
weight due to his sedentary job
or combining job. Long before it is
necessary he is a middle-aged man
and is inviting an untimely death.
Ask any good physician if this is
not so.
Alter man passes his 25th wear
he should take precautions to keen
himself fit. If he has a head of
hair he should take intelligent care
OF 1t to keep it with him for the
years to come! A healthy scalp
depends upon nourishing blood and
normal stimulation of the blood and
sane scalp care. His menus must
be we'll balanced, his exercise regu-
lar. He cannot hope to keep fit
through two rounds of golf on Sun
day and no exercise during the week.
If his business hours are long and
offer little bodily exertion, he should
get down on the mat and go through
calisthenics just as the love of his
life does to keep beautiful and fit!
1t takes effort, yes. but it pays huge
dividends in health, mental alert
ness and good looks.
Proper menus and exercise also
help to keep skin clear, and a clean
skin is as vital to a mans success
and happiness as it is to a womans
beauty! A chronically blemished
skin requires the attention of a
physician who is also a dermatolo-
gist. 1t may be the sign Of an all
ment which should be corrected
before serious i'll health occurs.
A daily bath (or two in hot
weather. with plenty of soapsuds
all over the skin is vitally necessary
to health and cleanliness. Frequent
change of personal linen and socks
Is something too many men ignore,
especially during these warmer
months. If man perspires freely
he should take the precaution Of
using a deodorant before going to
a party or dance.

New Perfume
Presented.
With this same romantic trend
in mind the makers of fine prep
arations are offering a new per-
fume fragrance that they describe
as "heady and flirtatious." Despite
the fact that this new aroma has
decidedly continental air 1t is on
the light side, not heavy, sitting
fragrance inappropriate for sum-
mer use. The packaging is most at
tractive, too. A well-shaped bottle
Is incased in a bottle of white,
trimmed in soft blue and mat ce-
rise, and the front is adorned with
one sparkling eye of a lady who
is holding up a card bearing the
name Of the perfume. This fra
GRANGE is accompanied by six other
items in the same scent, including
eau de cologne, talcum and face
powder, bath powder, rouge and lip
stick.
Constantly in search of a cologne
that Is not too heavy but still re-
tains enough fragrance to be re-
freshing, we were delighted to see
an item that does just this. 1t is a
product with a numerological name
and accompanies now-famous per-
fume with the same title. The orig
inator is also the manufacturer Of
smart clothes, so you may be quite
sure that this is a fashionable fra
GRANGE. 1t Is cool, delicate and yet
very indicative of the quality of
the perfume-which is excellent.
Eye Cream
Helpful.
Keeping away the eye lines and
wrinkles is no easy task for the
modern woman who more than like
ly gets too little rest. Destined to
aid the situation is a new cream,
which while it won't take the place
of sleep will work in conjunction
with it to make your eyes sparkle
and gleam with a refreshed appear
ance. The cream Is made by the
same firm that gave us those quick
pickup pads for the eyes, and we
are instructed to apply 1t at night
all around the eye area. In addi-
ton it may be used as a thin film
for the lids during the day and
as base for eye makeup in the
evening. The small jar is not in
expensive, but it will last for ages.
You need apply but little to make
the eyes look brilliant and alert, and
it should be helpful in doing some
thing about lines and wrinkles.
Don't forget to look at all the
new and improved cosmetics. These
are but small portion of the arti-
cles to be found, and there is an
item to suit every need. And three
cheers for the people who are clever
enough to supply them!

Baby Showers Not
In Poor Taste
These Days
By EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST. Our ladies'
aid society has been in the habit
of giving prospective mothers in
the society baby showers. All the
mothers-to-be have seemed de-
lighted and I know all of them
have put the gifts to- very good
use. Now comes member who all
of a sudden claims that we are
acting in very worst taste by giving
showers of this intimate nature.
Please tell us what you think, won't
you?
Answer-Un1ess you are inviting
men as we'll as women to the baby
showers. there is not the slightest
improperly in what you are doing.
Thirty or forty years ago when
Victorian reticence was, in America,
far more extreme than had ever
been imagined by the queen her
self whose name stands for the ex-
treme of propriety, there would no
doubt have been much disapproval
of even so much as mentioning
the possibility of a blessed event.
But I can't imagine that any one
on the hither side of eighty could
today hold this false point of view.
And by calling this unreasonable
degree Of modesty false" I do not
range myself with those who go
to the modern extreme of none
whatever.
Dear Mrs. Post: Is 1t displaying
sufficient appreciation on the part
Of a husband If his wife writes
thank you" notes for gifts sent to
him?
Answer-If presents for wife and
husband-and possibly for very
young children-were all sent to
them In the same box, the wife
would write thank you" for all Of
them. But if present was sent to
the husband alone-on his birthday,
let's say-it would certainly be
necessary that he write his own
thank you" note.

Lesson in Laundering

@. What is the advantage of using
soap IN "jelly" form? How is it
made?
A. Soap jelly is practical for clean
ing upholstered furniture, rugs, win
dow shades, and other objects which
are best washed without becoming
water-soaked. Prepare a mixture in
the proportions of five cups of water
to one-half cup of packaged soap
or shaved bar soap. Bring to boil
to dissolve, then cool until a jelly
like substance forms. It can be kept
indefinitely and the required guam
titles whipped up into a stiff lather
when needed.

Iodays Many Recipes for Preserving Deal With Variety Berre
Queer Habits
Of Children
Annoying
Experience Soon
Teaches Them
Discretion
BY ANGELO PATRI.

One comes across a child every
now and then, who has an odd
habit that is annoying to other peo-
pie. Little jimmie, aged 4, hides
things. She hides her fathers shay
ing brush just before it is time for
him to shave in the morning. She
hides her mothers powder and
rouge, her sisters hat or skates.
When asked about the things she
shakes her head solemnly and de-
clares she has not seen them. Some
time later she will say she really
doesn't know where these things
can be, but she will try to find
them. And out they come, with
great acclaim.
So far nothing seems to change
her idea about this game. I'd like
to try hiding something she would
miss greatly and let her wait, for
quite a while for its return. A
few experiences of inconvenience
might teach her the meaning Of her
behavior to other people.
Sonny has the bright idea of in
forming people that his mother
does not like them one bit. When
this is discovered and he is ques-
toned he holds to his statement.
But Sonny, I never said anything
like that" is met with firm in
sistence, 20 yes, you did"
The little boy dislikes something
this person has done and uses his
mothers authority and prestige to
crush them in the only way he sees
open. 1t is very annoying, but the
situation is plain to everybody con-
cerned and after he has been met
with hearty laugh and the retort,
"It isn't your mother who doesn't
like me. It's you. and who cares?"
he will change his method.
Caroline, aged S, has way Of
carrying tales to the neighbors
Nothing said in her presence is safe,
no action performed in her pres
ence but is broadcast. She sees
everything and hears everything
and tells everything as soon as pos
sible. And her telling is truthful
and accurate to a hair.
She descended upon a neighbor's
lawn with pail and spade and
when he asked her what she meant
by it, she said, calmly, and with
great distinctness, MY father said
he would spank me if I dug his
lawn, but he said you didn't care a
hoot how your place looked so I
thought I'd better dig here"
You can't blame Mr.. Bates for
feeling outraged, but father isn't
all to blame either. He did tell
Caroline he would spank her if she
dug up the lawn again. And he
did say, in a moment of exaspera-
ton, that his neighbor didn't seem
to care how the place looked. But
he did not say the two things at
the same time, nor did he send his
daughter to dig in his neighbor' S
yard, which was what Mr.. Bates
concluded he had said and done.
The ways of children are unac-
countable and they are excusable
only on the fact that they are
children's ways. Grown people
ought to be a bit patient, very toll
Grant and understanding to the
degree of wisdom. Neighbors ought
never to lose their poise because
of what child may do or say.
