Manners
OF the
m e n t

There's just one thing about q
summer vacation girl has
to be careful of the habits she has
acquired while she was wearing
slacks and play suits.
Somehow YOU get back to town
and you find it terribly difficult to
keep from resting your feet on the
back Of the couch, or from sitting
with your knees far apart, or from
hanging one leg over the arm of a
chair.
But after you've taken a few of
these casual poses in your best print
frock and had every one in the room
raising eyebrows at you. you be-
come terribly self-conscious about
your postures. For a few days it's
almost like going through ado
lescence again.
It's a shame. l think the easy
manners that one acquires in slacks
are rather nice myself. But the
world doesn't consider them proper
with skirts. And I suppose we must
still cater, at least part of the time,
to the world. JEAN.

For Healthier Babies
Girls Should Be Taught Care
AS Part of Their Schooling

| the one essential experience of the lot.
OF course, we cannot offer lessons
in baby care with the same nom
chalant gesture we make toward
these other accomplishments. We
must approach the undertaking with
reverence and caution and much
love. But it can be approached and
it can be brought to the attention
of young girls graduating from high
school and college. The earlier the
better, of course, but college gradua-
ton is not too late.
Clinics. nurseries, hospitals and
institutions for babies ought to be
associated with girls schools in
some way that allows them to learn
about infants, their ways. their
needs, their care. Babies will swal-
low buttons, lick woolly things, cry,
have collie, be their own peculiar
selves, and girls ought to know
about them beforehand. Ignorance
of the great profession of mother
hood is inexcusable in those who
undertake it.
Yet, if no opportunity is afforded
the girls to learn their profession
who is to blame? The babies suffer
and the mothers learn by experience.
of course. but why not make things
bit easier all around with a little
first-hand experience in handling
the little creatures?

What About
Black Lace
Trimming?
BY EMILY POST.

The prejudice against a woman's
wearing black at a wedding could
not ordinarily 60 so far as to in
clude small amount of black lace
used as trimming. Even SO, this
question becomes problem, as it is
described by the bride-to-be in the
following letter:
''The dress my maid of honor has
set her heart on wearing at the
wedding is lovely, I admit. It is of
pale blue marquisette, and the blue
is exactly what we had intended,
but I was terribly taken aback when
I saw that the dress was trimmed
with an edging of fine black lace,
around each of the short puffed
sleeves and also around the bot
tom of the full, long skirt. She tells
me that the saleswoman at the very
smart shop where the dress was
bought suggested black lace mitts
to go with the black trimming. I'm
sick about this intrusion of black,
because I have always understood
that black on feminine member
Of the wedding party was bad luck.
I know this must be a superstition.
but one hates deliberately to fiaunt
an omen of misfortune, no matter
how unreasonable this may be. This
girl is my only attendant and I
know this dress is exactly what she
wants for wear on other occasions
after the wedding day"
To this I can truthfully answer
that while the prejudice against
black derives from the somberness
OF mourning, which is naturally
saddening the gayety of a we'd
ding, this could hardly be said of
the small amount Of transparent
edging that you describe. If you
like the dress otherwise, then 1t will,
In my opinion, be all right. OF
course, If the lace were wide or
heavy, that would be unsuitable.

Blemishes Vanish
With Daily Care
And Right Diet
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.
Many young men who suffer with
a blemished skin condition live
under the fallacy that only "sissies"
attempt skin care. Take it from me,
young man, you're q sissie Il you
don't do something for that unsight-
ly skin! You lack even good judg-
ment If you continue to let a durable
acne condition rob you Of much hap
piness and success.
Right of the bat you must decide
to give up smoking for at least two
months, build up your physique
through exercise, sun baths and
loads Of vitamins. Then you must
get yourself a private set of face
cloths, towels and a new shaving
brush or complexion brush. Keep
these things sterilized and apart
from the rest of the family's bath
room equipment.
When thus supplied sit down and
write me for my free leaflet, How
to Treat a Blemished Skin," which
Is full of good sense and easy to
follow. It's the same leaflet I offer
the girls and women who read this
column, but it Is written for men
as well. If you need a little assist
ance in going about the treatment
call IN mother or the girl friend,
either Of whom will be delighted
to know that you are earnest at last
about clearing up that annoying
condition.
Then wrap up a dime, write me
care Of The Evening Star, asking
for my Acne Diet Booklet. That
little booklet contains menus for
one month which were arranged by
DR.. Howard Inches, an eminent
nutritionist, who is very much in
terested in helping you to correct
your skin ailment. You might not
like the menus (by the way, eat
as much of the food indicated as
you need to- but bear up under
them, knowing that they are help
ing to make you a much more at
tractive young man. I know sew
eral young men who got so de-
voted to the prescribed food that
they changed their eating habits
entirely, and it Is very gratifying
to see how the acne blemishes van
iShed.
Remember, my lad, if you need
an incentive to get busy at your
task, that attractive young ladies
and numerous employers simply
cannot tolerate a skin condition
which could be greatly improved.

The mother was young and this
was the first child. The maid was
new, having come but few days
before. She was putting the finish
ing touches to the kitchen when she
heard the mother scream and ran
to her.
"The baby! The baby! He's
choking to death Run for the
doctor!"
The maid reached for the baby,
turned him upside down, gave him a
smart whack on the back, crooked
her finger in his mouth somehow
and yanked out glass marble.
There, he's all right" and then,
with an astonished look at the faint
ing woman on the couch, carried of
the baby. She was back in a mo-
ment without the child. helped the
young mother to get hold of herself
and was making ready to leave the
room.
How did you know what to do
for him?" the mother asked.
"Just experience. I guess. You
see I'm the oldest of IA children
and always had to help with the
baby. They're tougher'n they look,
but it would be just as well not
to give him anything to play with
that is small enough to 60 into his
mouth. He sure will put it in and
choke himself. They always do.
He needs marble big as an orange"
Experience with babies is a great
help to young mothers. Those lucky
enough to come from big families
where they had a chance to tend
baby or two have a world of
understanding and ability for the
rearing of their own babies. But
what is to happen to the young
mother who was the only child, or
maybe one of two?
All girls need to know about
babies. The chances are that they
will have one or two of their own
some day and will need all the
experience they can gather against
that time. There are plenty of
babies in every town ready for the
young apprentices to try their hands
on. Why not give them an oppor-
tunity?
We have classes for dancing, for
music, for languages, for cooking,
for everything under the sun but

Answer: You do not mention the
walls of your living room which
leaves me a bit at a disadvantage.
If your walls are plain, would sug-
gest figured draperies at your win
dows with brown, white and green
on a yellow ground, or yellow and
brown on a white ground. Yellow
walls or wallpaper would be nice in
this room. You might use small
touches of bright vermillion in ac-
cessories and also quite a bit of
white in lamp shades and flower
bowls. Another chair might be COW
cred in striped material that would
tie your color scheme together. Sug-
gest you keep the same color scheme
in your dining room, but you might
vary it by using the figured rug and
the plain yellow window draperies
that would repeat the living room
yellow. If you do not care for the
yellow, you might use pale pink
walls and deep, rich, rosy pinks in
your figured draperies with the white
and deep brown. You have nice
basic colors with which to work, and
I think your draperies might set
the key for the rest of the room.

Plan your day ne'sS eaS"eh.
to encompass such repast with lit
tie or no trouble to yourself. Get
everything ready early in the morn
ing and then only the finishing
touches will have to be done at the
last minute. Pop the biscuits into
the oven while you are arranging
the chilled and nodded foods; set
your outdoor table simply, for the
coolest effect, and prepare to en-
Joy yourself as your guests are
doing.
Oddly enough, the beverage seems
to be more of problem than does
the food. People get tired OF the
same old things, and crave new
blends of flavor and taste surprises.
If you do serve plain iced tea and
iced coffee, make them perfect by
having them freshly brewed, and
pour them, hot, over the ice cubes in
the pitcher. Make them extra
strong to allow for dilution by the
ice. 1t is better to allow each per-
son to sweeten their own drinks
the tiny individual packets of spe-
cially powdered sugar are ideal for
this. Cream for the coffee and
generous wedges of lemon for the
tea will complete the picture.
If, however, you seek novelty, here
are a few suggestions:
SPICED ICED TEA.
Tie together in cheese cloth bag,
II whole cloves, short pieces of
stick cinnamon, whole allspice, and
several bruised mint leaves. Brew
your tea as usual, and drop the bag
into the infusion, letting all stand
for IS minutes. The tea should be
kept hot, during this period, but
not allowed to boil. Remove the bag,
and strain the tea over ice cubes
into the pitcher or glasses. Sprigs of
mint may be used as garnish. and
wedges of lemon and sugar should
be served.
CHERRY-ADE.

squeeze the juice from the pulp.

Bread for Sandwich

Of sandwich. so care should be
taken to select the best quality
available. Homemade bread or
bakers bread may be used. The
long and rectangular shape of Pull
man or sandwich loaf permits cut
ting to good advantage, but many
people prefer the eating quality and
texture of the standard shape of
loaf. If the bread is not ready
sliced use a sharp knife that cuts
bread slices smoothly.

Glove Length

For wear with summers short
sleeves, the equally short glove is
a smart accessory. The "shortie"
is usually made of chamois or doe
skin type leather in white or nat
ural and the popular high colors.
The glove stops just at the wrist
bone and is fastened with q pearl
or brass button, sometimes at the
back and sometimes at the base
of the palm. The "shortie," par
ticularly when handstitched, is an
excellent complement for short
sleeved summer suits.

have to mix your own color to get
it soft enough, so I suggest getting
white, quick-drying enamel and
tinting it with green and lumber to
get the right shade. Give it two
coats of enamel and a whole day to
dry thoroughly. To get the antique
effect, make solution of a little
umber and little raw sienna paint
coloring in turpentine Paint this

leaving the dark effect in the deep

experimenting to get the right

Americans live at pretty fast pace,

sciOus, and are after all building stronger
race physically. This was the conclusion
of leading physicians and surgeons who

and recreation center, recently.
Speakers at the meeting stressed the
importance of annual check-ups by ply
sicians and observance of sound health
rules as important means of curbing many
ailments which shorten life if neglected.
The annual spring pilgrimage of
guests from all parts of the country and
from foreign lands to the noted sanitarium
is under way. Later will come the sum-
