Dear Miss Dix-You make fire.
quent references to the fact that
many men monopolize the time Of
girls during the years when they
are most attractive and leave them
fiat when they grow old and ugly.
And you infer that men who do
that are nothing short of villains.
I take issue with you on that score.
for I think girl who lets a man
monopolize her time is just as
guilty as he is. Take my own case.
for example. I have been going
with the same girl for more than
six years and have no intention Of
marrying her, but, although I have
never mentioned marriage to her
in any way, she seems to assume
that some day will escort her to
the altar. I do not love her and
have never told her that I did, but
she takes 1t for granted that I do
because I have been nice to her
in numerous ways. Because have
been courteous to her I find myself
in a predicament which I would
give anything to be out of without
having to tell her fatty that I
was making my getaway. Not only
have I had this experience, but
many other of my friends have had
the same difficulty with girls who
thought they were in love with
them because they dated them.
Once girl thinks she has her hooks
In you it is easier to tear down a
mountain with your bare hands
than to loosen her claws. I've seen
the CLINT in girls eyes and soon
thereafter the marriage announce
ment. THE VILLAIN.
Answer quite agree with you,
brother, that a girl who let's man
hang around her year after year,
wasting her time and keeping other
men away without ever mentioning
marriage, is just as much to blame
as he is. More. because she has
more to lose than he has, for
she is the one who is left fiat
when he kisses and rides away
for other conquests.
Any girl is lacking in just plain,
good, hard horse sense who lets
any one man monopolize her until
the wedding day is set;, because
once she gets known as Johnny's
girl or Tommy's girl and gets paired
with him it automatically cuts her
off from other matrimonial chances,
and Johnny or Tommy may have
no serious intentions whatever be-
yond spending a pleasant evening.
1t is easy enough for girl to
drop out of circulation, but hard
enough for her to get back in
again If her steady" leaves her.
Girls are stupid enough about
the way they play the love game
and show little enough intelligence
In conserving their own interests
For they know that the years from
18 to 25 or 26 is when they are most
attractive and most likely to marry.
Yet they will throw away this pre-
cious time on men who make no
pretense of being in love with
them, and who hold out no pros
poets of ever marrying them. No
wonder there are so many old maids,
for it does look as If even dumb
bell should know that she must
make her matrimonial hay while
the sun of her youth and beauty
shines, and that the motto she
should hang on her parlor wall Is

Grand Finale
To Perfect
Makeup
For Radiant Glow,
Dip Face Quickly
In Cold Water
By Patricia Lindsay

-
When Mona Manet, fascinating
young New York cosmetician, de-
scribes the correct procedure for her
fattering makeup, she likens it to
the famous Chinese flower art. Start
with very large bouquet and grad
ually eliminate one flower after an
other until eventually there are only
few blossoms left in the arrange
menti
For an exquisite facial effect, Miss
Manet believes a woman should
spend 80 minutes making up her
face and finish by removing most
of what she has applied by ducking
her face into bowl of ice water!
If that sounds silly to you read
her directions for new spring make
up to be worn with beige-the sea-
sons leading color:
On your cleaned skin apply sew
eral tiny dots of brunette founda-
ton cream. Wet the finger tips and
smooth the foundation into the
thinnest imaginable film. Apply a
lively red cream rouge close to the
eyes (to cover the circles and to-
ward the temples Chats the direc-
ton you blush) Use two eye
shadows. Grey to begin with
smoothed on very gently. Then
green close to the lashes.
Eyebrows make or break a make
up, so the eyebrow pencil Is used
with the ightest of strokes follow
ing the hair growth-never press
the hair into solid line.
Now you are ready for your lip
stick which will match your rouge
in color. Apply it with long
haired Chinese brush. You may
restyle your mouth completely and
give 1t a new appealing shape or
you may follow your true lipline.
Outline the lips first and then fill
in and blot off excess coloring on
a cob-webby tissue-set rouge by
busting lips with face powder and
then paint them again.
Now you powder. GA goldfish
shade is lovely with. beige) Use
an Immediately clean fluffy puff
or a large swoosh of fresh absorbent
cotton. Miss Manet advises you to
powder your face lavishly, all over
right up to your hair line. Then
brush the powder away with soft,
long-bristled brush.
AS a finish-here my dears is the
shock-dip your entire face quickly
into a bowl of ice-cold water! Blot
with a thin tissue-no wiping.
Then just a "soupcon" Of beauty
oil on eyelids and brows, q bit OF
mascara on upper eyelashes with
a clean brush.
If you carry out all these instruc-
tions the effect will be that oi

tinged by obvious paint and powder

Polite toKnit
On Informal
Occasions
Today's Emergency
Has Changed the
Opinion of All
By Emily Post

A letter that I want to answer
at once is one which asks, would
it be permissible, in view of the
increasing war relief activities of
the women of this country, to knit
in almost all situations whenever a
woman finds few spare minutes?"
Long ago. before this present
emergency existed, I printed an
answer in this column to some one
who asked a similar question. AS
nearly as I can remember, I said
at that time that if she could knit
and talk at the same time I did
not think it rude to intimate friends
either in her own house or in theirs.
I did not think it proper to knit
at a formal party and did think
it an exaction of politeness, when
some one came in for very short
visit, to put the knitting aside.
Today's urgent need for all the
socks and sweaters that can pos
sibly be supplied has changed the
attitude Of us all-even of certain
people who have particularly re-
sented the rudeness of chronic knit
tiers. Today those. who can knit
are expected to knit and to learn
to talk and listen and look at the
persons talked with, at the same
time.
Dear Mrs. Post: Good friends
of ours left for two-month trip
and we didn't see them to say
good-by. I thought they ought to
have come and said good-by to us
when they were going to be away
such a long time, but at the last
minute they telephoned. Now when
they come back who is supposed to
go first?
Answer-Apart from the conven-
tional going to say good-by to de-
parting friends there is the obvious
situation of common sense, which
makes it very plain that 20 friends
can in the same half hour go to
say good-by to the go-aways,
WIlSl CdS IL "OulO tdhC 4lOuIS dIl0
hours for them to go to 20 ad-
dresses. AS a matter of fact, not
only should the stay-at-homes go
to say good-by to the go-aways,
but they usually take them a 60
away present! Correctly, they should
also go TO welcome them on their
return. Sometimes, of course, one
of the go-away's friends gives a
farewell party, or if they are sailing
on ship their friends go to their
ship to see them off. In your case,
inasmuch as you evidently did not
make any attempt to see them any,
where. you certainly owe them a
double visit now.
Dear Miss Post: Is one ever ex-
pected to tip the doorman and ele-
vator man in an apartment house of
friend whom one goes to visit
often?
Answer-Doorman, yes-now and
again-if he goes out to call you
a taxi. or help you get into your
car Cor to get others to move their
cars and let you move out Of a
block. You might also tip the ele-
vator man on less frequent oc-
casions.

One of the family problems roots
in the fact that no two children are
alike. They think in different
rhythms, they act in different ways,
they differ in tastes and abilities
so that there is lack of harmony
in family groups in this matter of
growth and training. One child
responds Gelightedly while another
responds not at all. One is quick
and the other slow, one bright and
one not so bright, one good at
something. the other helpless in

quarters yesterday.
Ward Shepard, jr.. of Yale, a stu
dent at Harvard University. told
draft officials if he is called it will
be his second compulsory military
service. He served year while in
Germany in 1884, he said.
Mr.. Shepard said he was student
at a private school near Munich in
1934-5. when Hitler visited the
school TO arouse enthusiasm among
Gereman youth for the ollympics of
1886.
He recalled that Hitler declared
Germany had to win the 1886 Olym-
pics ana that the United States was
the one country to watch. Continu-
ing. Hitler asserted that an Ameri-
can victory would be a victory for
Germany, since the majority of out
standing athletes in this country
were Of German extraction, accord
ing to Mr.. Shepard.
At this point Mr.. Shepard said he
asked Hitler how, under these cir
cumstances, he would account for
the outstanding colored athletes in
America.
Whatever answer was made was
drowned out by applause and cheers
with which other students greeted
the question, Mr.. Shepard said.
Although officials of the school
were strongly anti-Nazi at that
time, Mr.. Shepard said the head of
the institution advised all foreign
students to enroll for the military
training imposed on German youths
or get out of the school, Includ-
ing himself, he said, about a dozen
enrolled for the compulsory train
ing.
Mr. Shepard explained he was in
Europe with his father, a Govern
ment official, when he enrolled in
