Masons Counse|ed
10 Seek Peace Only
As individuals
Division Of Opinion
Is Warned Against
By lounsbury

Masons were counseled yesterda,
against afilliating their organiza-
ton with others in q program fol
promoting peace, except as indi-
Siduals, lest "Freemasonry destroy,
itself"
Speaking before the final session
at the two-day conference Of Grand
Masters Of Masons, an advisory body
tor the estimated 2,500,O00 Masons
In the United States, George F..
Lounsbury, Grand Master Of Wis
consin, declared:
Il am Of the firm opinion that
the minute Freemasonry steps out
OF its lodge rooms to unite with
other organizations for any pur-
pose, however laudable that purpose
may be-that moment Freemasonry
destroys itself, loses its distinctive
character that is the bulwark of its
strength and becomes just another
organization.
There are those who honestly
'' believe that peace can come
only through the sword; that it is
necessary to remove by force the
conditions which have brought about
the present war and that it is the
duty OF this country to take sides
and lend armed aid to the conflict.
There are others who believe
that we can and should keep out
OF war, that in keeping at peace
with the world we can exercise the
strongest influence for termination
OF the war and be a more powerful
factor in the adjustments that must
come when and if the fighting
ceases"
Division of Opinion.
The division of opinion, he told
the $50 delegates from As States,
the District of Columbia and Can
ada. "if permitted to enter our Ma
sonic lives might bring results which
we should all deplore and which
would weaken if not destroy our
foundations"
Free Masonry, he declared, "is op-
posed to relationships, intolerance of
race or creed, the oppression of mi
norlties, the armed and urprovoked
aggression of strong nations upon
weak ones, to the increase of power
OF any nation which does not fol-
low the principles of democracy.
"As human beings with human
sympathies, Free Masons are a unit
IN condemnlng those things that
nave been and are going on in un-
happy Europe
Opposed to Selfish Policies,
In our own land Free Masonry
Is opposed to selfish and demagoeic
politics, to the placing of sordid
ambition above the best interests of
our Nation and its people, to dis
honesty and double dealing in public
as well as in private affairs, to the
olscord and class hatred being assid-
uously promoted"
j. Chris Nungesser. grand master
Of Louisiana, urged that the Masons
take an official position on the
Order of De Molay, composed of
youths Is to 81 years old, which is
how sponsored by individual Masons
and various lodges. He estimated at
least 100000 young men have
been members OF De Molay during
Its 81 years Of existence and have
promised to be better sons, to SLAM
der no persons, to honor and protect
every woman, to support the public
schools. to fulfill every obligation
even though inconvenient, to walk
uprightly before God and man and
to be tolerant in their opinion of
Others"

prefer the society Of cheerful liars
to those who justify their rudeness
by saying that they always speak

There is nothing so devastating as
the crude candor Of near relation,
and the thing that oftenest sets hus-
bands roaming and sends wives to

who feel it their duty to speak the

So common and so disastrous Is this

CoUchh29 Up.
BY MARY ALLEN HOOD.

In the winter a dog needs q heavy
coat. Summertime calls for light
clothes. Hot apartments in winter
time expose the canine to both ex-
tremes of temperature. So If he's
in full coat (from the weight stand
point) the heat might we'll bring
on an attack of skin trouble for
the same reason that it does so in
the summertime. The only way
out of the difficulty is to keep the
canine coat at medium weight and
add extra wraps when he takes the
air.
One of the most varied things
about dogs is the texture of their
fur. Take the "wire-haired" CANNES.
They should have a harsh, hard
coat. expressive of the name. It's
cultivated by stripping" of the
outer wool with an instrument per-
fected for that purpose. In the
summer you take" a wire-coated
pup down" pretty far, but don't
leave him exposed completely to the
elements. .:..s.......
And if, during this late winter
season, the person who owns a wire
coated terrier Fox, Irish, Scotch,
etc. will purchase a stripping comb
at her nearest dealers she can cut
her spring worries to minimum.
For she could start now to tighten
the coat, accumulating experience
o1nvNn 1A r1,n
which come with a good stripping
comb are about all that are needed
Actual skill only comes through
practice. And by warm weather
the dog would be ready. All he
should need then is little touching
up. So she wouldn't find herself
frantically calling the kennel man
in June, trying to squeeze in an
appointment for Pups to have a
grooming before he suffocates in
his own wool.
Long-coated breeds aren't as tech
nical to handle. They require steady
brushing, increasingly as the weather
begins to break and they commence
to shed. Take every loose hair out.
Brush out all the under coat that
will come. And by spring thereIl
be less wailing about hair all over
the house. Right up through the
warm season this thinning" should
be kept up. And then the idea is
to keep long top hairs on the canine
proper for protection from the suns
rays. The system is just the oppo-
site from handling wire-coated
breeds.
"Smooths" require little fuss from
the barber shop angle, but extra
warmth on cold days. Although
we've heard show folks say (and
they're good ones, tool that they'd
rather get a re-coated" dog ready

More Girls
Than Men
Won't Do
Equal Numbers of
Bridesmaids and
Ushers Is Best
Nv EMILY POST.

To have "lots OF men" in com.
parison to the number Of girls is
rule number one In making plans for
q party. Fewer men than girls won't
do at all-not even for q wedding
party. To the question, Must the
number Of bridesmaids and ushers
be the same?" the answer Is no-not
so far as the professional in church
Is concerned. But If there are to
be few ushers and many brides
maids, extra men must of course
be invited to the various parties
given before the wedding, and how
ever many may be necessary to
make the number even at the bridal
table (if there Is to be one) at the
wedding. For this reason it Is
simpler to have an even number
of ushers and bridesmaids. To an
inquiry, which might perhaps be
included in this subject, asking
whether extra men invited to sit at
the bridal table should be given
usher's presents, the answer Is no.
Dear Mrs. Post: Win you please
tell me what my husband and
shall wear to a tea dance at q
country club? The hours are from
four to half past seven. Also, II we
decided to dress in simple dinner
clothes, could we go on our way to
dinner, which engagement we have
had for some time for that same
evening?
Answer: Ordinarily guests wear
what are known as country clothes
to tea dance at country club. But
1t will be quite all right to arrive
very late-after 6 o'clock-in your
dinner clothes and then go on to the
dinner, as you suggest.
Dear Mrs. Post: You have said
that men shake hands when they
are introduced. Does this mean
that they do always, or might there
be some everyday exceptions to the
rule?
Answer-No, there are no every.
day exceptions for men with man.

Be ready for the first occasion
when you want to step forth look
ing decidedly springlike and fresh!
This pattern will be the Joy of your
life! The coat and the dress are
cut just alike, you see, with the ex-
ception of the sleeves, so it's a
particularly easy design to make.
Together the coat and frock COM
prise perfect ensemble. And either
one is sufficiently pretty and wear
able unto itself.
The coat, fastened only at the
waistline, reveals flash of the dress
above and below, and the dress has
narrow revers that turn back over
the collarless line of the coat, trim
ming it just enough. A silk print
dress, or one in bright nat crepe, will
be lovely with q dark wool crepe or
flannel coat. Later on, of course, an
all-silk version Is what you'll want.

well. So we suggest that you wait
and see what loot you will acquire
before stocking up on such items.
Buy good quality always-and try
to plan to have all your linens as
much the same as possible, bearing
similar monograms, or designs. This
will save lots of worry about match
ing things up," and adding or sub
tracing to sets as occasion demands.
Woven name tapes are great help
both for insuring the return of
your linens from the laundry with
out any argument. and to help you
to put them away in the right piles
in the closet. You can order the
tapes made to suit your individual
needs in your preferred colors. For
instance, special sheets or cases for
the maids beds would be marked
by tape saying maids; double
sheets are distinguished from single
by an identifying tape in one corner
and so on. 1t saves lot Of wear
and tear on the nervous system, and
the linens from being unfolded and
refolded several times.
When buying sheets 1t is best to
select the ones that are 108 inches
long for comfort. If your linens
are to have plenty of wear, and no
hand laundering, avoid those with
hemstitching, embroidery or lace.
They won't stand the gaff. And
remember that delicate. expensive
pieces call for delicate, expensive
laundering-so that their upkeep
has to be considered along with
their purchase price. In any event,
experts estimate the cost Of linen
maintenance per year is about Z
per cent Of the purchase cost. Thus.
if you spend 500 for your linens.
it will cost you about 81 during the
year to keep them replaced and re-
paired. This, of course, doesn't in
clude the price Of laundering.

minimum linen requirements for

Tell Soothing
Truth When.
Possible
Cutting Remarks
Always Better
Left Unsaid
BY DOROTHY DIX.

Why is it that people who pride
themselves upon always speaking
the truth never mention anything
but unpleasant truths? Taking the
world and people in general, there
is just as much beauty and goodness
In them as there is ugliness and evil.
There is just as much sunshine as
rain, just as many flowers as weeds,
and every sinner has q streak Of
saintliness in him.
But If the Truthful Jameses and
Jennys ever find anything good and
admirable in anything or anybody,
they never feel called upon to men
ton 1t. It is the flaws and not the
virtues over which they grow elo-
quent.
You show them your new house
that you have been Shaving and
scrimping for 20 years to buy and
that to you looks like a masterpiece
of architecture, and they pass by
the big, comfortable rooms, the
graceful stairway, the lovely win
dows, and say: "Your kitchen is a
regular cubby-hole, SO little and
dark" They view your children
with q cold and appraising eye, and
remark that it Is too bad that little
Sally is so like your Aunt Geraldine,
who was always considered the
homeNest woman In the community
and they ask If your frail little
Johnny, who always makes your own
heart turn sick with fear when you
look at him, isn't tubercular.
They never fail to tell you that
you are putting on flesh or that
your hair is begiEnng to turn gray
or that your new hat is 10 years too
young for you, or that your Paris
frock makes you look sallow. Wild
horses couldn't make them say that
your new house is well built and
beautifully located. Or that if little
Sally has Aunt Geraldine's nose, she
has Aunt Geraldine's sweetness and
charm. Or that your delicate little
Johnny is by way Of being mechah-
ical genus. Or that q little flesh is
becoming to you and that you are
better looking as plump, middle
aged woman than you were as q
skinny girl. Or that your new
clothes just simply scream Paris at
the beholder.

been toned down to become COM
pletely wearable for both day and
evening. Debutantes who saw
fashion show in which this makeup
for television was worn, Immediately
seized upon 1t as something new and
exciting, but it was found bit too
extreme for ordinary wear. So, in
order to prevent theatrical and
artificial appearance, the new
cosmetics were created, combining
all the drama and dynamic ap-
pearance of television makeup with
the needed variability of beauty
aids for day and evening.
The originator Of these products
went to work on color and texture
which would be startling and yet
usable. Needless to say she found
it-else what would we have been
talking about for two paragraphsP
There are two types-one for blonds,
another for brunettes-and both are
so very, very dark that you'll prob
ably look at them with misgivings.
However, once you try 1t, we think
you'll find the makeup excitingly
different and extremely smart. There
is complete line, with npstick and
nail polish, rouge and all the other
items. Incidentally. you use the
rouge very sparingly to provide the
utmost in contrast between white
skin and dark lips. Unusual and
dramatic are our terms. Glamorous,
we think is another word. -.
