ALONG THE WATERFRONT:


An idea of what peoples of war
ring nations dread was given
Tuesday afternoon when group
of pelicans was sighted flying to-
gether over the northwest section
of the city. The birds were in
perfect V.shape formation, the
figure fighting planes take when
on destructive mission. The
pelicans were drifting along with
the wind in a southerly direction,
presumably headed for their
roost. Monday witnessed more
edible seafood brought to port
than was reported all of last
week. Rough seas continue to
prevail, however. Muddy wa
ter is not only dreaded by COM
mercial fishermen but also by
gulls and pelicans. 1t is almost
impossible for these birds of the
sea to spot food then and of ne
cessity they come in close to
shore in their efforts to satisfy
their hunger. A large flock
gathers around the small sailing
vessels waiting for the scraps
fishermen toss into the water
after dressing fish.

Dear Mrs. Post: Ny husband and
/ have just had mild argument
on the question Of watcher or not
II can be considered impolite to
interrupt some one. who seems
very pleased to be able TO relate a
story, to explain that you have
heard the story before ! don't
see any possible excuse for suffer
ing through 1t again whereas my
husband feels that there is hardly
any other way out.
Answer: To no one except to
member of your family land even
then only when that member and
you are alone1 or to very init
mate friend under the same cir
cumstances) can you say, Yes,
you've told me that" Otherwise.
It is seldom possible to let the
storyteller know that you have
heard this story before, and never
possible when there are others
present. BY this mean that when
you're alone with a person it is of
course easier TO check the story
by saying. Yes, / know" and
then, skipping to the climax, say
how interesting or amusing you
think that point u.s. To prevent
some one from completing a story
to other listeners would be unfor-
givably discourteous.

Il can give you room on the

can give you somewhat smaller

bath for three dollars day"
Prospective guest: May ] see

He thereupon hands two keys to
the bellboy who is waiting, and
the latter takes you up to look
at the rooms. If the clerk had
said nothing about the price of
the rooms, you would ask him how
much they are, whether the hotel
is run on the European plan or
American plan. The former means
that you pay for your meals ex-
ira, the latter that the price of
the room includes the meals.
Bringing Ont" Daughter
Dear Mrs. Post: What In the
most inexpensive party that can
be given to bring out" daugh-
ter?
Answer: A simple afternoon tea
to which your friends but very few
acquaintance are invited, in adj
dition to number of people of
your own age to whom you par
ticularly want to introduce your
daughter. You ask as many young
people, both men and girls. whom
she knows. or who arc the sons
and daughters of the people you
know. The table at simple tea
is set with nothing but tea, hot,
and perhaps cold tea punch, party
sandwiches and little cakes, and
some flowers in the center of the
table in the dining room.

The Thirty Smarty
BY ALICIA HART

On her thirtieth birthday, every
woman ought to remind herself
that skin which is cared for
properly will retain its smooth,
youthful texture and firm con-
tours through the years. Only
neglected compilations become dis
colbred. open -pored deeply
wrinkled and otherwise unattrac-
tive.
It should be encouraging to
realize that the future loneliness
of your skin rests entirely with
you. But this realization GER
tainly ought to make you deter
mine to use night cream faithfully.
particularly on throat and around
eyes, keep skin scrupulously clean
and to eliminate whatever minor
complexion defects you have.
Never go to bed without first
washing face and neck carefully
with plenty of soap and warm
water. Afterward, rinse with cold
water, slapping it on until cheeks
are tingling. Cold rinses not only
stimulate sluggish circulation, but
tend to keep pores from becoming
relaxed and enlarged.
Don't put fresh makeup on over
stale. Clean your face several
times a day. using cream or a
lotion or whatever cleansing agent
you happen to like.
A solution of one part water and
one part fresh lemon juice. used
twice a week, is good bleach
for q grayish, discolored throat.
A weekly mask treatment will
help to keep skin firm and clear.
Always pat on and remove creams
with upward and outward strokes.
Apply night cream around eyes
with rotary movements.
Choose your makeup ever so
carefully. making sure that pow
der matches exactly or is one
shade lighter than your natural
skin tones. and that rouge, hpstick
and nail lacquer harmonic. Then
learn TO get each on absolutely
flawlessly. No one looks really
smart If lips,ick is blurred or If
rouge stands out in two round
spots. And II you are thirty,
smartness should be your goal.
