Budget Grooming
Time Carefullu

1t was really lovely party
the one you went to last week.
You've always liked that partic-
ular hostess; you found the other
guests pretty amusing; the food
was excellent; and your husband
was nice, too, but didn't flirt with
the guest of honor.
All in all, you should remember
that evening as perfect one. But
you don't. That is, not quite. All
too frequently since the night of
the party you've had a little nag
ging feeling that you didn't quite
measure up. Usually. though you
don't admit it. you feel just the
other way a round.
What happened? Why do you
have this uncomfortable reaction
every time the evening is men
toned?
Well, since the party came at
the tail-end of a week or two of
a burning the candle at both
ends session, it's quite possible
that you were too tired to be at
your best. It's true. of course, that
dyed-in-the-wool party-goers al
ways sleep for an hour and some
times two before dressing. You
might remember that from now
on. Being tired is a definite hand
leap to charm or wit or getting
others interested in you.
WATCH
THE TIME
In addition, the chances are ten
to one that you didn't allow quite
enough time to battle and dress
for that party. If you are a quick
dresser who requires about half
an hour TO groom yourself from
head to foot, probably you had
only IS minutes that night.
II you generally allow a fun
hour, no doubt you had 10 or Is
minutes less than an hour in which
to get ready. You were completely
dressed, of course, but somewhere
in the process you had lost your
usual poise. While greeting your
hostess you were wondering
whether you remembered to close
the windows and lock the door.
Check up on the best-groomed
woman you know and you'll find
that she budgets her time as well
as her money. This takes metic-
ulous planning. Of course. but she
manages to do it in spite of the /
fact that she works hard and is
always busy.

CANCELLISG ENGAGEMENT
FOR A DATE"
BY EMILY POST


FOR A DATE
A rule Of good manners. which
everyone at some time or another
would like to evade. il presented
by a young girl in Chicago who
asks. IF girl has already made
an engagement TO 20 To the movies
with several girl friends. when a
boy asks her for a date for the
same evening Is she being rude IN
cancelling her engagement with the
girls and going with the boy? I
mean are there no exceptions to
the rule that an engagement made
Is an engagement TO be kept no
matter how many more attractive
things present themselves after
making IT? I'm in Dutch with
these girl friends because /
changed my mind about them and
went out with a boy. But I'll bet
each one Of the other girls would
have done the same thing. How
ever, I'd like to know whether you
think / was wrong"
Answer: That a first engage
ment may not be thrown aside for
a second more attractive one is
one of the really important rules
of proper behavior. In this in
stance. 1t is true, there were sew
eral girls who could 90 to the
movies quite well without you, and
you did not spoil the evening for
any one as you would have done
had you deserted one girl alone.
All the same. you were IN the
wrong on three counts: Not only
did you break a rule of courtesy,
but you gave the girls chance to
call you boy crazy" Third. II the
boy ever hears you did this for him
he won't even be flattered-he'll
agree with the girls and think you
just little cheap. As a matter
Of fact. you may very well have
lost a chance to make a lasting i'm
preston by saying, I'm sorry I
can't 70 tonight because I've prom
ised Jane and Mary and Alice to
go with them. But I'd love to go
with you IL you'll ask me some
other time" II this situation comes
up again. this is what I think you
should do-if you want to be
thought well Of.
BREAKING YOUR SISTER OF
BAD HABITS
Dear Mrs. Post: My sister is IS
years old; time to grow up and
have some manners. She is such a
smart-aleck that she really en-
barasses me terribly by the things
she says to my friends. They laugh
or listen to her. but I don't believe
they think she's funny. What can
we do to break her of this habit ?
Answer: II she is merely playing
to the gallery, then ask your
friends to help you by paying no
attention to her. If her motive is a
mischievous one-if her object is
to tease and disconcert-the an
swer Is the same. She will grow
equally tired of playing to an
empty house" or Of shooting ar
rows that never hit anything.

Germans Mass More Guns
On Luxembourg Border

BY Radio to The Star.
REMICH, Luxembourg, April 49,
The Germans brought up some more
artillery to the right bank of the
Moselle this morning-horse-drawn
howitzers of about 6-inch-caliber.
-Four batteries went into the woods
opposite Remich. An undetermined
number continued south along the
river toward the salient which the
French have occupied since the
beginning of the war.
Troop movements on a large scale
began yesterday afternoon, when the
roads about Nennig filled up with
trucks and buses, and long slings OF
passenger coaches began to join the
procession of trains from Treve.
The creak and clatter of rolling ar
tillery could be heard in Remich
well into the night.
The situation at the pontoon
bridges this morning was unchanged,
but Luxembourgers took no consola-
ton from that. According to best
information here, Adolf Hitler has
36 divisions massed on this section
of the front, including shock troops
and mechanized units. The present
arrangement Of his forces would
seem to indicate that he plans a
sort Of crack-the-whip movement,
pivoting on the Luxembourg corner
and sweeping through Holland and
Belgium.
There was intense artillery activi-
ty last night, most of it along the
sector between Hemich and Saar-
brucken.

Methodists Prepare
Temperance Exhibit
For Convention
Displays Will Be Shown
In Municipal Auditorium
In Atlantic City

Attaches of the Board of Temper
ance of the Methodist Church to-
day were finishing work on an ar
ray of charts, posters and dioramas
designed to convey the importance
of the boards activities to the Gen.
eral Conference of the Methodist
Church, which will convene We'd
nesday in Atlantic City, N. J.
DR.. Ernest A. Cherrington, ex-
ecutive secretary, has been super
vising preparation of the exhibits,
and D. Stuart Patterson, promotion
secretary, has been directing the
carpentry and art operations.
The displays devised here in the
basement of the Methodist Build
ing will be shown, together with
those from other cities, dealing with
different phases of the church's
work, in the Atlantic City Municipal
Auditorium.
Economic Aspects Emphasized.
According to Mr.. Patterson, the
board is endeavoring to present in
as striking manner as possible its
views on the liquor question, with
emphasis on the social and economic
aspects. He pointed out that tenn
perance always has been a para
mount crusade of the Methodist
Church.
"Alcohol Through the Ages" is
the caption over a series of dio-
ramaS which illustrate viewpoints
on liquor in various periods. Moses,
John Wesley and Abraham Lincoln
are among the figures portrayed,
and ancient Egyptians and Romans
also are shown.
Another exhibit calls attention to
the Nations annual liquor bill and
contrasts the expenditure with the
enduring projects, such as schools,
the same amount of money might
buy. On a poster illustrating ex-
cessive drinking's effect on home
life a house is shown being weighed

Delegates from all parts of the
world, including, it is expected, a
number from the European and
Oriental war areas, will gather to
consider questions of church policy
and procedure and redefine the
Methodist position on various eco
nomic and social problems.
Committees on missions, educa-
ton, lay activities, pensions and
other matters will meet; approx

Third Big Saturday Of Football Again
Features IntersectionaI Tiffs:
Nofre Dame Tech Game HeadIiner

NEW YORK, Oct. II. CUP -
Football approaches its third big
Saturday with conference and Sec
tional play still forced to play Sec
ond fiddle to intersectional strife,
headlined this weekend by Georgia
Tech and Notre Dame at South

Except for Northwestern Ohio
State and Mississippi-Georgi most
of the conference title aspirants
either are playing outside their own
leagues or engaging breather oppo-
nents.
With baseball no longer headline
competition, the Georgia Tech-Notre
Dame tilt rates the streamer OF an
intersectional program which in
cludes Fordham- Tulane, Southern
Methodist Pittsburgh. Michigan
Harvard, Southern California Illi-
NOS, Texas ChristianNorth Caro-

NEW YORK, Oct. IL. (UP)-One
of the most ironical rulings in re-
cent baseball history promises to
make the Detroit Tigers, American
league champions today, the sacri-
ficial lambs of tomorrw.
Handcuffed by the most cumber-
some piece of baseball inanity in
diamond tradition-the no trade
rule for American league cham
pions-Manage Del Baker, whose
clubs serious need of replacements,
will swap nothing more than anec-
dotes at the winter baseball meet
ings.
The legislation has become strict
iy a white elephant" to the junior
league moguls. To repeal it would
be a tacit admission that it was
aimed expressly at breaking the New
York Yankees oVerpoWering grip
on baseball. To leave it stand and
watch the National league winner
annually spend money and trade
without restriction would also be ar
equally bitter pill.
Actually an inferior club before
last seasons triumph, the Tigers
face an almost hopeless task. De-
troit carried the oldest infield in
the league last year and only yards
of adhesive tape and gallons OF
| liniment helped hold it together
during the summer.
Charley Gheringer, veteran of II
years with the Tigers, has already
announced his intention OF quitting
shortstop Dick Bsrtell, waived Out
of the National league because OF
crippling attacks of arthritis, will
be even less useful next year ano
Third Baseman Pinky Higgins will
be slower at 80.
Gaps have already developed in
the pitching staff. Tommy Bridges
could be used in only one series
game and will be practically thru
at 35. Schoolboy Rowe is question
mark. Nursed into l6 game winner
this year, he was a flop in the series
and may have lost the winning
touch. Courageous Buck Newsom
will be the 194l pitching nucleus
but even he Will be 80 then.
The Tigers may be considered
strong only in the outfield and be-
hind the plate. Hank Greenberl
and Barney McCosky are the twC
cutfleld regulars. Alternates Brut
Campbell and Pete Fox will bo
