Manners
Of the
NJ O m e n t

Some girls can't 60 near a cook
stove without getting themselves all
burned up. That Is understandable,
though foolish. But when a girl
starts Dragging about her battle
scars, then it's time to tell her off.
She has an idea that by showing
you the blister on her thumb and
the red streak across her wrist, she
Is giving you evidence Of her mar
tyrdom. She thinks she is proving
what & good housewife she Is.
But on the contrary, if she only
knew, she Is giving herself away.
She is only showing that she is in
efficient, that she doesn't know
that steam is hot or that hot grease
may pop, and that she is a pretty
silly little greenhorn.
No, lady. If you are the type who
Is always burning herself, you should
try your best to train yourself out
of 1t. It's not only more comfortable
for you, but far more pleasant for
your family if you stay unburned.

Pretty enough to be married in,
this frock has a Victorian. wistful
charm that the best designers put
right up at the top OF spring trends!
This design makes an utterly lovely
dance frock, with wide. Waiting
skirt. heart-shaped neckline, and
gathered bodice. It's perforated,
too, for afternoon length, because
the style is so simple that it's ex-
tremely smart for either use. And
it's easy to make.
Taffeta, silk print, MORE and fiat
crepe are materials we'll suited to
this doubly useful fashion, that
may be made with long or short
sleeves. And it's perfect back
ground for your gayest, gaudiest
jewelry. Send for the pattern to-
day, and make the frock for your
next important date.

Beauty Hints
For Older
Women
They Should Take
Pride in Keeping
Well GrOOmed
By Particle Lindsay.

How proud are the children and
relatives of the older woman who
keeps herself nicely groomed and
as becomingly dressed as her cir
cumstances will permit!
Some women get the idea as
their years add up. that no one is
interested in their appearance.
Others like to feel that age eX-
cuSes them from botnermg with
the niceties of personal daintiness.
These assumptions are lamentable.
for I never see an elderly woman
who is attractive in her appear
ance without thinking. How
charming I'll bet she is every bit
as popular as scores of women 20
years younger than herself" And
l know others react the same way.
Now I do not advocate poorly
applied makeup on skin which is
whitening. Nor do I like TO see
too youthful coiffure on a silvered
head. But I do like to see that
silver hair shining with health,
dressed becomingly, and that with
ering skin kept fabricated and fresh
looking by appropriate beauty aids.
If I had a grandmother would
90 shopping for her and this Is
what I would buy: A rich throat
cream, an aStringent and a chin
strap. A lubricating face cream
which she could use also for cleans
ing. A dozen cakes of very good
1 bland soap and a soft bristled COM
plexion brush.
I would see that she had a sup
ply of fluffy, down face puffs:
box of the best sifted face powder
in the exact shade of her COM
pleXlOn, an eyebrow brush and pOssi-
bly, brown brow pencil I would
also buy. even against her protesta-
ton, the most delicate of rouges
and lipstick, for loathe seeing older
women with drained, too pale faces
if they are in fairly good health
Then I would stock her bathroom
with some EPSON salts by the pound,
for occasional hot baths; the most
deleCtable floral bath oil I could
lay my hands on. a cologne which
was not too drying zone of those
which are partly oil and partly
alcohol and scented in violet honey
/ suCkle, lemon or any other fresh
fragrance. I would adore present.
ing a huge body puff of pink down
oh, one that was at least 8 inches
in diameter. and box of powder
! to accommodate it.
If she didn't have adequate hair
/ aids or a manicure set complete
with a softly tinted lacquer polish,
would see that she got them Then
l would explain the use and harm
leSSnesS of anti-perspirants and deo-
dorants. for no grandmother of mine
would be guilty of this ignorance
if I could help it,
You may think that is a sizable
list of aids, but do remember that
they may easily last her for months
and in the meantime they serve as
inspiration to careful grooming and
she will experience great Joy in
using each one of them.
Any woman. old or Young. who
takes pride in personal grooming
cannot help but take pride in her
clothing. That follows as night the
day. and she turns herself out IN a
most attractive manner feeling self.

which is so senseless and has so
little reason to back it as that which
denies women the right to select
their mates openly and freely.
OF course, it is true that most
women see their husbands before
their husbands see them and that
the average husband could not tell
you, to save his life, how he came
to have the particular wife who
wished herself on him, but. even so,
having to work in the dark and
undercover cramps the style of even
the most adroit and determined hus-
band-hunter.
Also, a woman often fails to do
by stealth what she could have ac-
complished If she could have worked
in the open. for not every woman
is a born diplomat, nor does every
man have enough keenneSS Of per-
ception TO get all the delicate i'm
plications of a womanis silent love-
making. Many a man thinks a
woman is merely being mice" to
him when she is telling him that
she is breaking her heart for him
and imploring him to ask her to
marry him.
Many a man perSuadeS woman
who had no thought originally of
marrying him, into being his wife
by exhibitions of devotion that touch
her heart, or by his representation
of what good provider he would be.
And the same tactics would work
equally we'll if a girl were free to
tell some lonesome old bachelor how
much she loved him. or a good cook
could convinc a gourmet of how well
she could feed him, or a motherly
widow could make some bewildered
widower realize how we'll she could
take care of his children.
And why should 1t be any shame
to a girl to let a man know that
she wants to marry him and that
she has selected him as her life
mate? 1t is a million times more
important for a woman to get the
husband she wants than for a man
to get the wife he desires. because
a wife is always so much more mar
ried to her husband than he is to
her.
Besides, if a man gets the wrong
mate, he has his business, his career
and a thousand outside interests
to keep his mind of of his troubles
and disappointment, but a woman
has nothing.
Therefore women should have the
right to openly pick out the men
they want to marry, and when they
get that it will very nearly stop di-
vorce, for the woman who gets the
man who is her hearts desire is not
only happy herself, but she breaks
her neck to make him happy, too

again They've mapped our
fashion future for spring, and, ap-
parently, have tried pretty hard to
please us. Fortunately for every
one concerned, the rulers of mascu-
line styles don't try to promote
something bizarre and unwearable
every season, but stick to things
that you fellas have approved.
The Retail Mems Wear Council
of New York has chosen colorS that
have plenty of variety without being
startling. Tones, we hear, are muted,
and so are patterns. 1t looks like
a season of smaller patterned suits
in designs that are less distinct and
sharp.
So, don't get the idea you'll be
forced into f1ashy clothes this spring.
On the contrary, they won't be a
shock to even the Milduetoast
variety of man.

once and it is prolonged into dis
treSS.
The child who does this is not
sick. He is quite well and has the
situation we'll in hand. Most people
think they are sick and go to their
aid. They get what they started out
to win, and unless some one wise
in the ways of childhood is on hand
to adjust things, there will be more
to follow.
Find what, if anything, the child
breads. Remove the cause If pos
sible. If it is nothing more than an
expression of dominance, ignore it
and let the inconvenience of the
demonstration fall hard on the
offender. But don't let him win

Serving Two
At Party
Rule Holds Good
For Afternoon
And Evening
By Emily Post.

In certain sections of our coun-
try, the serving of coffee is felt to
be more friendly at afternoon parties
than tea, which, when correctly
poured" is somewhat of ritual.
At a big afternoon tea there is al
ways hot tea and chocolate, and
their accompanying sandwiches and
cakes. If there is dancing, there
must be a cold fruit punch. At the
same type of party in the evening,
coffee usually takes the place of
tea. Occasionally, bouillon is served
in addition to the chocolate and fruit
punch.
In the following letter, the writer
makes no mention even of a second
beverage. She does, however, ask
these five other questions: "G
May I serve hot chocolate instead
of coffee or tea, and 90 could l
use my silver coffee and tea service
that is, the two pots for chocolate,
and 90 the waste bowl for whipped
cream? "a But what kind of cups
and saucers for chocolate? go And
will you suggest foodr This is an
evening open house for about a
hundred people"
Q Yes, hot chocolate or coffee
or both. These with iced fruit
punch are the typical beverages at
evening parties. AS I said before,
there should be something else be-
side the one beverage. (2) Punch
should be ladled from punch bowl,
especially if the party is formal
one. otherwise, it could be poured
from pitchers. The tea and coffee
pots may of course be used for the
chocolate. go Yes. a. If you
are very finicky, chocolate cups are
tall and slender, but tea cups are
used by most people and are in
my opinion much more satisfactory
anyway. Since chocolate is the hot
test of beverages, I have often Won
dered why cup that holds heat
was ever designed for it'll go Any
tea party food would be suitable.
That is, ordinary party sandwiches,
little cakes and cookies. The sliced
cake is always more difficult to serve
at big parties than the individual
cakes. Exceptions are fruitcakes,
plain poundcake or any loaf-shaped
cakes that can be cut into strip
shaped pieces. If you have plates
and forks for everyone, you can
then have whatever kind of cream
filled cake you choose. Finger rolls,
split and spread with pate de foie
grss, are especially good with cho-
colate.

Washing Hint

Never let anything grow so soiled
that it demands long washing. That
sort of treatment actually redeposits
the soil in the fabric, strange as it
may seem. If an article has been
neglected, however, the thing to do
is to give it a short washing in rich
suds, two or three inches high in
your washer tub, repeat the wash
ing in a second rich suds. then pro-
ceed with enough rinses to flush out
all the soapy residue.

going over with a bang-and for
many reasons. In the first place, the
quality of lipstick and perfume pre-
sented is excellent, even though the
price is definitely modest Then, it's
convenient to always have perfume,
good perfume. handy for quick re-
touching after Office hours. before
that important engagement Finally,
the little stick itself is so attractive
that it's joy to use anywhere.
Ever since young sister put her
nose up in the air and rolled her
hair in a long bob, the problem of
proper cosmetics for the young set
has driven their parents to deep,
dark despair. Young girls these days
insist upon using makeup. so it's
something of a blessing that one
cosmetic firm has put forth apprO-
pirate. flattering items which will
delight the young Wearer and fail
to alarm her elders.
In town this week is a repre-
sentative Of this firm, appearing at
a local store. She has been trained
to analyze the poise, personality,
mannerisms and makeup of the
teen-agers and to give excellent ad-
vice on how to improve their appear
ance. What's more, the products she
represents are complete in every
detail, including beauty aids from
perfume through bath soap and lip
ct fply IN 4a1, an
smart. youthful fashion that is far
from 'babyish."
Special attention is being given
the ingenue by this clever Miss
Chambers, for these young beauty
seekers make far too many errors
in their first attempts at making
up" For the girl who's making her
cosmetic debut, this wealth of in
formation is invaluable. And to all
the mothers of young daughters who
have been fretting over the prob
lem, the experience and training
possessed by this representative
should mean a great deal
If you like double efficiency in
everything from cooking utensils to
perfumes, you'll go for the lovely
fragrance we've pictured above. Not
only is it a long-lasting aroma of
roses and spice that is really de-
lightful, but it's attractively and
usefully packaged. The bottle, of
Stiegel-type glass, is hand decorated
with colorful old-faShioned ladies
and makes a charming addition to
any dressing table
What's more. the bottle is held
in a wood veenered container lined
with red and white striped percale,
container that is useful for hold
ing rings or pins after the bottle
is removed.
This brand of perfume has be-
come exceedingly popular of late.
due to its cheerful. spirit-lifting
fragrance that is neither too heavy
for comfort nor too light to be in
discernible. A dab of the spicy aroma
used behind the ear or at the nape
of the neck will help you maintain
your reputation for daintiness and
charm.
