BLACKOUT

YESTERDAY: Mary is discharged
from the hospital. A. she prepares Ia
leave, DIR. Lenox offers her the use of
his apartment until she finds en-
ployment. lie Il required TO remain
at the hospital. his quarters are UNI
used. She debates accepting his gen.
erous offer.
CHAPTER XII
There just weren't any jobs in
London, Mary Carroll decided after
three weeks search. Even with
the war providing many new types
of employment, there was nothing
she could find to do.
On leaving the hospital Mary
went at once to the rooms DR..
Lenox had put at her disposal,
rooms useless to him because of
his required residence in the medi-
cal center. There, despite her
grief, she was slightly comforted
to remain among his entirely mas
euline possessions. The little touch
of his straight-shouldered per-
sonality that seemed to cling to the
rooms was a source of satisfaction.
OF the money in Anna Winters
purse there now remained only a
few oversize coins.
"Ninety-three cents" Mary was
amazed when she reckoned il in
terms of real money" IF don't
get job soon" But she never
would finish that sentence.
That her looks were against her
finding work she did not need to
be told. Nor were her clothes any
great help. kindly Mrs. Sim
mons, the landlady, had helped her
alter them until they had some
semblance Of fit and the two had
brushed and pressed until Mary
was passable. But they were not

BY EMILY Posi-

Dear Mrs. Post: Has there been
anv change in the form Of invita-
tion for a large afternoon party
for A debutante daughter we
have seen some invitations lateiy
that included the fathers name,
and as a mans name was never
heretofore included on such NV
tations We wondered whether the
invitations that we have seen late
ly, including the father, were ac-
cording to best social usage.
Answer: Among New Norks
most conservative az well as smart,
using Mr.. and Mrs, is modern
custom. This wording Is as fol-

Four Hostesses Not Always Too
Many
Dear Mrs. Post: Are four
hostesses too many when they
are sisters and they all want to
give a party for new sister-in-
law who is moving to town as
stranger? If you approve, Will
you describe in what order we
stand to receive the guests.
Answer: Under ordinary cir
cumstances I think four hostesses
are a good many. But in this par
ticular case it would really meaS
that the brides entire family-in-
law were standing in solid phal-
anx behind her. There would be
nothing incorrect in having all
four hostesses in line, with the
guest of honor standing second,
but it does seem rather formidable
to have this many unless the house
is huge and the guests number
hundreds. Therefore, if the recep-
ton is of moderate size, l think
it would be better that the sister
in whose house the reception is
taking place Tor the soldest one, il
it is taking place in a club or ho-
teD stand at the door with the
sister-in-law, and that the other
three sisters stay nearby, but re-
main free to move about and look
after the guests.
Today's Use of Table Mirrors
Dear Mrs. Post: Are the mir
rors under centerpieces no longer
considered stylish? I never see
them any more and I think they
do so much for a table, especially
when the candles are lighted.
Answer: Mirrors under center
pieces are, it seems to me, much
more stylish" today than they
were. In fact, they are particu-
larly suitable in this day of bare,
or almost bare, tables. They sell
dom looked quite right on da-
mask cloth unless they were of
the ornamental centerpiece va
riety similar to the 18th and 18th
century table in France.

Brushing also gets rid OF scalp Sc
cretions. The woman or man
who INDUCES in regular
brushing of the hair is never
troubled with flaky scale, COM
monty referred to as dandruff.
What is more important to possess
sors Of permanents brushing
actually increases the depth and
lasting quality Of waves because it
makes the hair pliable.
Stiff, coarse hair is a rarity in
nature, although some red heads
and a few black-haired people have
to combat this condition when I'M
wieldly hair occurs from the dry
ing effects of waving, it can be
more quickly overcome by regular
brushing than any other means of
treatment.
So now is the time to look to
your hair then start looking
for hat. Do a little experiment.

favorite hairdresser make a few
suggestions and with such
groundwork" you'll be able to
acquire a new and becoming ar
rangement that will make you feel
