Extra-Curriculars Prove
Interesting Field

Do you take part in any of the
-curricular activities offered
by our school? If not, you may be
missing something which you would
lind not only interesting, but also
educational There are factors
which hinder some interested pu-
pills from participating in these
fields, such as the limited number
of Peptomists and librarians, and
conflicting schedules, but for the
most part, any enterprising person
may enter into some extra-curri-
cular activity.
Our school offers such a good va
riety among musical, literary and
athletic filters" that you ought to
be able to find one that appeals to
you. Any of these organizations
welcome industrious new members
to their midst.
However, if you already belong
TO several groups you ought to hest
tate before entering into a new
: one. The chances are that you will
fail to receive much benefit from
an organization to which you have
little time to give.

Peptomists Twill Batons

Activity has been the theme
motto, and password of the Pepto-
mist girls during their entire vaca-
ton. Besides having practised ba-
ton-tWirling and songs all summer,
they have given two food sales and
a rummage sale to raise money for
equipment and costumes.
Mary Cornell has been elected
president of the group and Mr.
kemper is to continue as their adj
wiser. Five new members are.
Catherine Hampton, Helen Rasmus-
sen. Patsy Manion, Georgiana Seims
and Kathryn Neils.
The Peptomists plan to be active
rooters at athletic contests rather
than passive spectators. 1t appears
that we shall have to wait until the
first game to see these girls in
action.

Fifteen Is Not Very Old,
BY EMILY POST


Dear Mrs. Post: I'm almost -,
but my mother thinks I am too
young TO accept an invitation
from boy / met last summer
when he was visiting relatives who
lived near relatives OF mine whom
I was visiting. This boys mother
has even written me, but my
mother thinks it is improper for
me to go when she doesn't know
the boy or his mother. Also
mother thinks 1t Is too far for me
to 90 on the train so miles 10 his
home. She says. however. that
she would have no objection If she
could 60 with me. but that she
can't very well do this without an
invitation. Win you please tell
mother and me what you think
about this.
Answer: I agree with your
mother. 1t would be quite diff
ferent IL the boys family and your
own were old friends, or If your
mother had been invited to 60
with you. Or even II a party were
being given at this boys house
and you had been invited to GO
with other girls, YOU might then
all go together without a chaperon.
As 1t is. I'm sorry, but the answer
is that you are not allowed"
madam" for All Women?
Dear Mrs. Post: What should a
waiter or waitress, or even a safes
person in a store call a lady whose
name is unknown? Some one has
told me that madam is used lr
smartest stores and restaurants
but madam hardly distinguishes

between a married and an unmar-
RED woman.
Answer: You don't distinguish
between them. You should call all
women customers or patrons
madam"
Sending . Wedding Present to
Groom
Dear Mrs. Post; I'm friend OF
the groom in this case, but sup
pose that really should send the
wedding present TO the bride ?
The invitation arrived without
sufficient address for mailing, and
there is no return address on the
envelope. Shall send the present
to the groom, who happens to live
in a different town what that
where the bride lives and where
the wedding is taking place? Time
Is short.
Answer: When you don't know
the bride, 1t Is customary TO send
something for the house that DON
can use. In a situation such as
you describe, it is not improper to
have the package addressed TO
him. and to write best wishes TO
both on your enclosed card.
A Woman Dining with Several Men
Dear Mrs. Post: When a woman
goes to a restaurant with her hus-
band and, let's say, two other men,
is she supposed to follow the head
waiter alone with the three men
tagging after?
Answer: Yes. Or IL there Il
plenty Of space, one of the men
mot her husband) probably walks
beside her. But since it is usually
necessary that they weave their
way in between tables, she OF
course goes ahead.

Foundation Aids
Are Winter Need
Makes IS large pieces)

A protective foundation prep
aration- preferably waterproof-is
number one on the list of cosmetics
the winter vacationist needs.
Whether she is going south to lie
In the sun or north to skate and
ski, a cream or lotion to protect
her skin from sunburn or wind
burn and to make powder stay on
for hours Is all important.
The waterproof foundations will
appeal to the swimming enthusiast.
The family oily lotions which give
the complexion a moist, dewy APP
pearance are ideal for dry skin.
And they do tend to prevent wind
burn. For oily skins, practically
greaseless foundations in stick
form are quite satisfactory.
SALESwOMAN WILL
GIVE YOU ADVICE
The smart way to pick a suit
able foundation Is to find con-
scientious saleswoman in a COS
metics department which carries a
wide range of beauty preparations.
Ask her to recommend several
brands for your particular type Of
skin. She may have samples
which you can try then and there.
In any case, remember that foun-
dalton ought to match your nat
ural skin tones exactly. Read the
directions on the jar or bottle and
follow them carefully.
In addition to regular powder
and foundation, for southern wear
take along q darker shade Of each
Once you have coat of suntan
your makeup ought to match the
shade your skin is then.
Don't forget hand lotion ane
night cream. And a cuticle cream
or oil to counteract the drying eff
fects of salt water or of icy winds
Scarlet iipstick and nail lacquer
in harmonizing, II not matching
shade are something to consider
The true reds and the brownish
red sometimes called deep rust
colors still are most flatterini
against suntanned skin.
