Good Taste Today

to know how to go about making
my wedding arrangements, par
ticularly in the matter of having
my wedding announcements en-
graved. ] realize the bad taste of
having the names of divorced
parents appear together on we'd
ding forms, and | don't want to do
that; but neither do I want to
show Partially to one and hurt
the feelings of the other. Would
having two plates made-one with
fathers name and the other with
mothers name-be an irregular
thing to do and would you suggest
doing this under the circum-
stances? Or perhaps you can
offer a better suggestion.
Answer: The two plates would
be quite practical for the n
nouneements by simply dividing
the lists and sending your mothers
announcements to her family and
friends, and your fathers to his
family and his own particular
friends. Where their friends are
mutual, it is best to send those
engraved in your mothers name.
If the two plates would be un-
reasonably expensive and you de-
eide after all to have only n
form made, then they should be
engraved in the name of your
mother because according to ETH
quette, the mother is given pre-
cedence over the father.

Gas BagsFm
Babies Tried

LONDON - British mothers
were uncertain today whether
they approved of the govern
ment's new gas bags for babies
who are too small to wear
masks.
The gas bags for tiny babies
were tried out by the govern
ment at Holborn town hall with
the hesitant cooperation of a
group of mothers and their chill
dren.
My little Patricia came out
parboiled,' said one indignant
mother, as her offspring walled
at the top of her lungs.
My baby thought it was a
new toy and loved it," said an
other mother. This baby slept
peacefully, despite Patricia's
yells.
Twenty minutes in that bag
and my baby looked like a bit
of raw meat" another mother
said.

Work At
Beauty

On careful preparation depends
a large part of the of
any trip. Any beauty-minded WON
an knows that this means getting
the right clothes, the right lug
gage and the right cosmetics, as
well as reservations, well in adj
vance.
The proper travel clothes,
whether you go by air. boat or,
on one of the swift, streamlined
trains, are those which do not
wrinkle or show dirt easily.
A suit remains the best type of
travel costume, of course, but
there are suits and suits. And the
fussy little number of a fabric
that crumples and stays crumpled
during the first wearing is all
wrong. Incidentally, much as you
love silk blouses with your suit,
be sure to take at least one jersey
or knit sweater blouse-something
that doesn't have to be packed any
too carefully and which never
seems to show soil.
About the most unhandy item
TO have along is a fitted case i'll
which the fittings do not stay in
place. To find jars. bottles and
odds and ends in a huddle in the
middle of the case every time you
open it is a little disconcerting.
Before you buy a fitted case,
turn it upside down. this way and
that, to make sure that each item
will stay where it is supposed TO,
no matter how energetically por-
ters toss the bag about.
Everyone will advise you to
travel light. Not a bad idea. of
course. but don't take such advice
too seriously and take so few
nightgowns and slips that you
have to worry about laundry at
every hotel. Really put some time
and thought into striking a happy
medium in your travel wardrobe.
Don't take too many clothes, but
don't let anyone persuade you TO
take fewer costumes than you ac-
tually will need.

OLD DRESS
NEW /

Dear Mrs. Post: My mothers
wedding dress was white and really
very lovely, but mother wore no
wedding veil when she was mar
ried. l would like to wear her
dress for my wedding and Won
dered if ii would be all right to
wear it with a new veil. l thought
perhaps some traditional feeling
rather prevented combining the
old and the new. Mother is a
sentimental soul and / don't want
to risk hurting her feelings by
using her dress in any way that
could be considered contrary to
good taste.
Answer: 1t will be entirely
proper To wear a new veil with
your mothers dress. In fact, it is
almost unheard of for the bride
to wear both the dress and the veil
that her mother wore Just as an
old lace veil, which has been long
in the family, is often worn with
a new dress, a dress once worn
by mother or other relative is
worn with a new veil. A tulle veil
especially would have to be re-
placed after having been laid away
for some wears.

HOSPITAL BILL
STILL IN DOUBT

CAPITOL. Olympia - Plans of
Pierce eounty.s Legislative delegs-
ton for betterment of Pierce

back and gained impetus again
Thursday night and Friday norm
ing in the legislature here.
First. the bill to put the insti-
tuition under a board OF six siti-
zens. which vas IN the form Of a
house amendment to a senate
measure. failed To win senate con.
eurrenee. II was sent TO confer
enc committee.
The committee was made ND OF
Sens. DR. J. ". Henderson, Mrs.
Lulu Haddon and hrs. Kathryn
Maistrom. Tacoma. and Reps. DR..
W. g. Cameron. Tacoma, Ella
Whittier and Thomas Bienz.
The committee failed 10 agree.
since DR.. Henderson. LongvieW
physician, would not declare the
Pierce county hospital amendment
'germane" to the original bill on
quite another subject. Conference
committees must agree unanimous
ly, or report failure.
IL now remains to be seer what
action the two houses will take,
as result of the committees nom
accomplishment.
On the brighter side of the pic
ture, a battling Pierce county
house delegation succeeded in
amending a 1000. 900 social e
eurity funds bill in such manner
as to include possibility the hos
pital may get financial aid.
The bill would provide the
money, from the states general
fund, for aiding cities and govern
mental subdivisions to match fed
eral cash in financing WPA and
PWA projects. The amendment,
adopted by the house after a brisk
floor fight. includes county hos
pitfalls of the first class"
The bill nov must go back to
the senate. Should it become law,
1t may be the mean by which an
addition to the hospital is built and
the present building renovated and
re~-equipped.

first it resembles a small green ball,
but it soon opens up and is really
a surprise to many thinking of the
plant as merely bunch of leaves.
Peep into her face and you will
find a mass of triangular yellow
stamens standing guard around the
big green seed-box. Under a strong
glass you can see the grooved an

who knew him best knew that the
mental ailment came later as a re-
suit of his facial deformity.
Children, in the cruel, thoughtless
way that children can act, laughed
and made fun of Ivan's ugliness.
Older folks stared at him. Wher-
ever he went he became an object
of mirth or sympathy or pity.
Ivan withdrew into himself. AS
he grew older he realized what a
cruel blow fate had dealt him. He
was marked for life.
1t was then, at the age of 18, his
mind started to work along un-
natural channels. 1t began with
envy, envy toward other boys of his
own age who could go to parties and
move about in society without being
laughed at and stared at and Jeered
at. Gradually the envy blended
into vindictiveneSS, fierce desire
to right the wrong that had been
done him. This sensation found an
outlet in physical violence.
Folks excused the first demon
stration because they said that
young and handsome Clay Anthony
deserved the pummeling Ivan gave
him because he publicly made fun
of the youths ugly countenance.
But Clay was only the first. Ivan
now had the cunning of a semi
maniac. Skillfully he inveigled
other youths into giving him cause
for attacking them. He had the
strength of two men his size With
in month, three of the town boys
were beaten into insensibility. One
received a cut on his face that re-
quired three stitches.
Then folks knew. They knew that
Ivan's mind had become warped, that
handsome youths had become an OBJ
ject of his vindictiVeneSS. Curious
ly, boys who weren't unusually at
tractive, he never molested.
The town buzzed with excitement.
Ivan should be put away. He was
dangerous, menace to society.
A week later. Ivan ambushed young

Bond. When they found Tom in
the morning he was still uncon-
scious. They rushed him to a hos
pital, but before noon he had died.
Shortly afterWard a band of irate
citizenry headed for the house where
Ivan lived, but when they got there
they found he had been missing all
day. His fearful mother did not
know or would not tell his where
abouts.
Two weeks later, in the neighbor-

up by the roots and destroy them,
which would lessen next years crop
of umbrellas and apples. The small

est of the parasols for themselves
or dollies.
If you have a lovesome spot that
is too damp for most plants, you will
be happy to have the mandrakes
growing there. All the things &C
compished by this woodsy child are
interesting to young folks and older
ones. This is little late to get
the whole story, perhaps, but there
are several pages yet to be turned
by the mandrake for you to read.
The youngest plant in poking her
head above ground will give you a
lesson in perfect folding of an UNI
brella about its stem. The unfurling
is done gradually and with method
ical precision. Some of the UNI
brellas are one size, some another,
some have four lobes, others as
many as nine. And as we are apt
to do, the case of the fine new UNI
brella is discarded. The pink stem
gradually assumes a greenish tinge
