Manners
of the
Moment

Don't ever 60 to q worlds fair In
threes, q friend of mine warned me
the other day. 1t seems she tried it,
and she came out in the middle.
It's hard enough to keep track Of one
other person and still see what you
want to see. But to keep track Of
two is impossible.
One of her party insisted on wan
dering of around dark corners in
the Transportation Building, while
the other one wandered thought
lessly in the opposite direction. And
there was my friend, in the middle,
trying to keep an eye on each Of
them.
She said she didn't really see any
of the fair.
My suggestion is that If you must
go in threes, you 60 in chain gang
fashion. with a little rope tying you
together. Then it would be just q
matter Of the strongest man win
ming. But at least no one would be
lost and no one would have to spend
her whole time keeping track of the
other two.
But maybe my friend is right.
You shouldn't plan to 60 In q three
some anywhere where there are
things to see In the first place.

October movers, please note! The
feline mind Is controlled by emo
ton, backed by instinct. It's the
same sort of business which runs
under the head of intuition in the
feminine gender. And when kitty
becomes excited she loses all leanings
toward scientific analysis.
Nor can a series of soft words and
bribes change her mind when the
moment for action has dawned. Her
principles revert to the elemental.
Her claws and teeth are ready and
her mind is her own. She cares
naught for any ones politics. reli-
gion or theories. Furthermore, she
can't be intimidated without being
killed. And it's whole lot easier
to keep her under control in the first
place than 1t is to handle her after
she's become excited.
All these things must be taken into
consideration when handling a cat.
Book learning" is of no avail. She
doesn't give two hoots about being
slapped. She'll just slap back, plus.
So If she must be moved from place
to place. allow her to do so with dig
nifty, and keep hef under control.
There are three methods. One is
to procure q strong DUNE bag and
deposit kitty inside, head out. Walk

calmly towards the means of con-
veyance. Let there be no shouts or
hustle. Cats are nervous creatures.
Stroke her behind the ears and talk
to her If she's quite a "prima
DONNA" secure a mild sedative from
the veterinarian and administer 1t
according to his directions.
For emergency use only, wrap a
heavy towel around her body and
keep the hand on the back of her
neck. She is bound to wrestle loose
before many moments have passed,
so don't depend upon the towel too
much.
The carrying case system is best.
They're made just the right size and
folks who intend moving their
feline about should own one from
the start. Let kitty sleep in it and
become at home with it. Even then
a sedative may be necessary if she
doesn't care for her environment
And there isn't any use in violently
chasing her once she claws loose
Follow quietly, keep her in view and
coax her under control.
Above all, the individual who
handles cat safely must submerge
his own state of mind and never
hurry. Never! The cat simply
doesn't care if things are in furry
She and she alone matters. And she
demands calm!

Divorce Assuming
Her Maiden Name
BY EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: If the court grants
divorce the use Of her maiden
name, does she write it as Miss Anne
Jones or Mrs. Anne Jones?
Answer: Neither. She takes her
mothers name and prefixes 1t to her
own maiden name. If her mother
was Miss Brown, then she calls
herself Mrs. Brown Jones. Prop
erly she can call herself Miss" only
if the marriage had been annulled,
and if she is furthermore indiffer-
ent to the comments which annul-
mept is likely to provoke. If she is
professional person she may, OF
course, call herself Miss Anne Jones
in the theater or the office. But in
social life Mrs. Brown Jones is the
conventional and therefore least
conspicuous name to choose.
Dear Mrs. Post: I am grand
mother now, but feel too young to
be called grandmother" and any
way am sure the other mother will
be called grandma" Perhaps my
question Is a far cry from etiquette
but I do wish you would suggest
names that grandchildren could use
for grandmothers who prefer, If pos
sible, to be called something else.
I do believe that it comes under the
heading of manners to teach chill
dren the proper names to say 50
they won't sound disrespectful to
their elders.

And, without doubt, the greatest

Now, as rule, husbands are not
stingy. It is not so much the money
itself but the manner of its distri-
button over which they and their
wives fight. The husbands think

Slim Waistline
This Season
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Our British sister Is, must ad-
NIT, one ahead of US when 1t comes
to calesthenics. We Americans have
little desire to embrace mat exer-
else unless we decide to reduce un-
lovely pounds or are told to exer-
else in order to relieve body aches.
Miss Britain. on the other hand.
enjoys exercising for conditioning"
and she willingly goes through her
daily dozen to keep her health up
to par and her reputation for glori-
GUS skin texture intact!
It will not be long before Ameri-
can women will be following suit.
Instead of our interest waning In
corrective and beautifying exercises,
it is being stimulated. Many women
and girls have faced grave beauty
problems because they allowed their
bodies to slump-become so inert
that beauty of hair. figure, skin, eyes
and personality suffered!
If your back muscles need easing
and your waist needs slimming you
might try this 10 to 20 times day.
Lie fiat on your back with hands
clasped behind head. Bend both
knees up at the same time you raise
your head and shoulders from the
floor by pulling with your hands.
Fall back to original position.
This firms your abdomen, eases
back tension and relieves neck con-
gestion.
With slim waists the fashion you
| will want to do this exercise every
day, Immediately after the one de-
scribed above. 1t Sims your waist,
strengthens back and firms other
lax muscles.
Lie fiat on your back with hands
clasped behind head, feet and limbs
together.
With sort of rocking jerk come
up to a sitting position and slowly
bend head forward until it touches
your knees. Then slowly return to
original position.
At first you must bend your knees
slightly as you come up. But once
you master your back and abdomen
muscles you should keep your legs
and knees straight!

It is sad to realize that there Is
q price tag on loves young dream
and that the financial question is
just as disturbing a factor in the
home as 1t is in Wall Street or the
Government. Perhaps 80 per cent
of the husband-and-wife quarrels
are over money. For it is apparent
ly the one subject upon which they
seem the least able to reach peace
full agreement and get each others
point of view. The husband con-
siders that inasmuch as he brings
in the pay envelope he is entitled to
be the royal purse bearer and give
only such largesse as he sees fit to
his wife. Whereas the wife holds
that as a working partner in the
matrimonial firm she Is entitled to
an equal share in its income. And
the hot debate that this division OF
opinion brings about not infrequent-
ly ends in the divorce court.
Perhaps the greatest disillusion
that a woman ever gets Is when she
discovers that when her husband

one-half Of the regular price. Every
one knows that the first rule for
a good complexion is thorough
cleanliness, but after you have
cleansed your face you may find
1t dry and almost leathery. That's
why this cream is so helpful. It
combats and helps to prevent dry
skin, for it lubricates in manner
that is most effective to complex
ions dried out by the activities and
sun Of summer. Left on overni~ht,
the cream supplies a moisture that
you may need badly. This, of course,
is a splendid time to try it out, for
this is the season when your skin
needs reconditioning and the spe-
cial sale offers an excellent oppor-
tunity.
Perfume Container
For the Purse.
Another new item that has come
to our attention seems to us particu-
larly appropriate for the business
girl. OF course. it is so attractive that
many other women will adopt 1t, but
we like to think that this perfume
container for the purse is designed
for us poor slaves. It's tiny bullet
shaped contraption that looks like
one of those miniature flashlights
every one owned a season or two
ago. The perfume is placed in tiny
glass tube inside, and is applied
drop by drop through holding the
container upside down and pressing
the tip wherever you wish the per-
fume to be. 1t is so tiny that you
can carry it in your evening bag,
still it is tailored enough to be a per-
feet accessory for your street clothes
and comes in number of color COM
binations. Simply fill with your IA
vorite fragrance and drop it in your
bag to be used at any time. It's leak
proof. too.
incidentally. the reason we men,
toned it for the career girl is that
many perfumes are too heavy to be
worn all day long in an Office, and
often your coworkers find 1t annoy
ing. Thus if you have an after
office engagement you can freshen
up and depart with your favorite
perfume waiting about you.
Some of those same business wom-
en- have recently been telling us
how much they like the liquid lip
coloring for Office wear. When you
get up "at the crack of dawn it's
awfully disillusioning to know that
by the time you get to work you need
complete new makeup. Not so
with this liquid lip coloring. 1t stays
on for hours when you apply it with
the attached applicator and let it
dry for few minutes with your lips
apart The clear red color you choose
to f1atter your complexion will last
indefinitely and look fresh and
newly applied. P. S.-You can thank
us for that raise you'll get. Don't
think your boss likes to see you max
ing up in the Office or disappearing
every few minutes to apply a new
coat Of paint. He'll be delighted to
have an employee who looks well
groomed and who still finds time to
do her work!

In wandering around the shops,
it's all too easy to miss some of
the interesting and helpful articles
to be found Such a lavish dis
play Of cosmetics is featured in most
stores that very often we overlook
certain items. That's one reason
why it's fun for us to point out
some of the newest beauty aids;
we wouldn't want you to miss them.
For instance, until one of the
buyers showed it to us the other
day, we'd never seen a comb and
brush combination that has since
proved to be one of the most use
full gadgets we've ever used. The
comb, which is made out of a dur
able composition that will last in
definitely, is also equipped with one
Of those "rattail' handles to help
you keep your curls in place. On
each side of the comb is a row
of substantial bristles which pene-
trate the hair and keep it smooth
and" in place. Hence, while you
comb your hair you also give it a
helpful brushing, and if you've been
listening to us for the past year
or so you'll know how important
we think brushing is. The whole
contraption folds up and slips in
q cenuloid case so that you can
carry it in your purse at all times.
This Is one article we don't want
you to overlook, for it is worth
many times the negligible price.

Leaves With Iron

The darker outer leaves of cabbage
and lettuce contain more iron than
the paler inside leaves, so be sure
to use them. If they have wilted,
soak them five minutes in cold water
and then store them, covered, in a
cold place for an hour or 80. Or
you can shred them and use In salad
or as an edible garnish for salads,
meats or fowl.
