Pull the hood up over your head
as you dash about the campus and
plunge your hands into the jutting
pockets Of this very smart shirt

the winning air of casual nonchal-
ance that goes with smart sport
clothes and happy days. With or
without the hood (Which is con-
veniently detachable, of course) 3,
this is an excellent junior style with
notched collar, slight blouse at
the waistline, and a very full skirt.
It's tailored without looking prim,
very young and feminine. You'll
get loads of wear out of it, from now
right en- through the summer, for
runabout and country week ends.

By Nell Giles

After texture. the color of your
hair Is important That's some
thing you're born with, too and
don't do anything about It! Just
play 1t up.
Even mousy hair can develop a
shine II it's bucked up little with
brushing. becoming hairstyle, and
worn with colors that call attention
to 1t. Sometimes this color is mouse,
too, If your skin and eyes will stand
It and you have a sort OF beige
all-over look which Is smoothest OF
the smooth.
In general, the best way to call
attention to the color Of your hair Is
by contrast: Blonds are best in
black; brunettes startle the stag line
IN white or red; brownettes attract
attention in greens or purple; red
hair is lovely with clear lemon yell
low. But only clean, sweet smelling
hair In any color -. holds the
attention. A point to remember.
Style Is the third factor IN smooth

and why he leaves the top smooth.
Ask him why. He'll like it.
Memorize the way he puts the
curls in. You'll try it in front OF
the bathroom mirror this way next
week. Notice that he has the general
idea in mind before he puts in all
those pin curls; that he puts so
many curls in the place your face
is thinnest to give it fluff" Notice
that he doesn't take hunk OF hair
at random, but that each section
is combed from a smooth hairline
and is turned from the scalp in the
way he wants it to go.
After you're dry" keep your eyes
peeled to see how he combs your
hair out. Learn by heart what hap
pens to the top and the sides and
the back And as soon as you can
reach "the privacy of your boudoir,"
as the gum-chewers used to say,
comb it exactly as the hairstylist
did. Once you've done it, the next
time won't be so hard. Tie a piece
of yelling around your head at night
to keep the lines of this hair-do.
BY the next shampoo, you'll have
it by heart.

Announcing
Engagement
AtParty
Large Event Is Not
Essential, Though
Many Believe So
By Emily Post.

Many people like to give . big
engagement party, but I am begin
ming to wonder just how many who
write me about this party think It
k essential to the ratifying Of the
engagement. For instance, this let
ter from Mrs. Stranger. I'VE live
here In the East practically un-
known, with good friends and rela-
tives scattered in every other di-
rection. My daughter has just got
ten an engagement ring from a
man who has always lived here and
of course has many friends here.
How can I give an engagement
party to announce the news when
practically all the friends and rela-
tives are on the other side and all
strangers to me?"
AS I suggested above, it is not
necessary to give a party OF any
kind In order to make this an
nouncement. But II you would like
to give one, then why don't you
merely invite the young people S
intimate friends instead Of having
them tell the news to each one sep
arately? In any event, you write to
your distant friends and relatives
and send a notice to the papers
The mans mother may want to give
q big party in honor of their en-
agement-really to introduce your
daughter to their familys friends
and relatives land them to YOU'D =.
But her party should be given after
you have made the announcement
IN the papers.
Dear Mrs. Post: I work for a
doctor and would like to know just
what is the proper form for intro
ducing q new patient to the doctor.
That Is, after I have taken care of
the preliminaries and the doctor
steps into his consultation ONCE,
ready to proceed with the new pa
tient.
Answer-The introduction is the
same as any other: If the patient
is a woman, you say, Mrs. Smith
(or Miss Smith; DR.. Medico." II
the patient is a man YOU say. "Dr
Medico; Mr.. Brown" You natural
ly emphasize the name of the patient
IN contrast to that of the doctor.
II necessary to make any explana-
ton, you add, Mrs. Smith Cor Mr..
Brown Is a patient Of DR.. Faraway," !"
OF rs the patient about whom DR..
Jones wrote you"
Dear Mrs Post: My house is very
small and now that I am going to
have an afternoon tea and cocktail
party to include both my women
friends and their husbands. the coat
problem looms up to real size.
can send the ladies upstairs to
bedroom but what can I do with
the mems heavy coats and hats when
all there is downstairs is one small
closet in the front hall?
Answer-If there Is no second
bedroom upstairs that can be pressed
into use for the men, then they have
to pile their coats over the stair
railing and on chairs stood along
the side In the hall.

up with their rich acquaintances. II
these wealthy friends of your con-
tinue to invite you to their homes
it is because you add to their pleas
ure by being interesting and attrac-
tive.
You pay your way by your per-
sonality, and you need not hesitate
to accept their invitations nor feel
bound to repay them in any way ex.

yes or no, but will have to describe
or explain something to you. If you
listen carefully and make intelligent
comment-not OVERRIDING the ques-
tions by popping one after another
at him-you should be able to get
him started on real conversation.
1t would be quite all right for you
to suggest changing partners if you
did it by saying something like,
"You must be tired dancing with
me over and over again. And we'd
learn faster if we had various
partners"
The fact that you and he are
partners in these regular dancing
classes should certainly make it
proper for you to invite him to the
party your club is giving.
Dear Kay and Alden:
I'm a newcomer here, and I'm
finding it rather difficult to get &C
quainted with girls. I have met
several. but hesitate to ask them
for dates because I'm afraid they'd
turn me down, knowing SO little
about me. What do you think?
FRED F.
What We think is very old
thought-that faint heart ne'er won
fair lady Most girls are delighted
to meet a new boy who may ask
them for dates. Pick out one Of the
girls whom you have already met,
and try your luck. We're sending
you our asking for a Date" leaf1et,
and if you'll follow its suggestions,
we don't think there's much chance
of your being turned down. If you
make a good impression on that first
date, you'll get others-from that
girl, and from her friends. A report
on you will get around!
Dear Kay and Alden:
Would 1t be proper to wear a
backless, strapless evening gown to
school prom, where formals are
being worn? I am only in high
school, and maybe people would
frown upon me for exposing my
shoulders so openly. PUPIL.
High schools differ in their degree
Of so-called sophistication in such
matters. But since you yourself
have doubts on the subject, we'd say
you'd better reject the backless,
strapless number and wear some
thing a little less extreme.
The smart miss avoids being either
the most sensationally or the most
sensibly dressed girl at any given
affair. Furthermore, we think such
extreme formals are out of place al
most high school functions.
Dear Kay and Alden:
When some one told me they had
been missing me at church, I said
Thank you" Since I think this
was wrong, I'd be grateful If you'd
tell me what should have said.
DAVID r.
There was nothing wrong with
THANK you" under these circum-
stances. You might also have said
"It's nice of you to say so,' or "I've
missed being there" or "Yes, I'm
sorry haven't been able to make II
recently" You could also have
added a word of explanation for
your absence, expressing the hope
that you'd be at church, and see the
other person there, more often in
the future.

Ny Neighbor Says:

Shrubbery should be pruned
in the late winter rather than
the spring. Old stems should
be pruned out as near the bot
tom as possible rather than new
shoots shipped of.
It Is best to whip no more
than two cups Of cream at a
time. Chill bowl and beater.
If the cream is beaten in a
warm bowl, in a warm place, 1t
is apt to turn to butter.
In making applesauce slice
your apples, cook them in a
little water until they are soft,
then add the sugar. If you
add the sugar at first you may
need to put in more later and
the apples are likely to become
hard.
When ironing soft collars
start at the center and iron
toward the end, beginning at
center again to iron the other
end. There will then be no
creases.

No. Have you a bit of checked

Here's a use for it! Make an at
