because that is the only way that
Mrs. Grundy permits her to find a
mate
So you can see that a girl who is
surrounded by a number of young
men who date her and take her TO
places and make themselves charm
ing and agreeable to her. but who
have never popped the question or
even so much as mentioned marriage
to her, cannot tell them that she
doesn't intend to marry them when
they haven't asked her.
She is not a mind reader and
doesn't know what their intentions
are, so she can't warn them not to
get serious. She has to let the whole
situation hang up in the air until
some one of the young men comes
down to brass tacks and asks her
to be his
OF course, if a girl leads a young
man to believe that she is in love
with him when she isn't. that is a
very different thing. It is cruel and
dishonorable, and no girl of high
principle would do it.
But for a girl to narrow herself
down to just one boy friend when
she doesn't even know his inten-
tions, is silly and sure sign that
she is going to be an old maid.

Friendliness

Divorce No Reason
For Grandmother
Not Seeing Child
BY Emily Post

From the standpoint of strict pro-
priety, all their in-law relationships
are severed by the divorce OF
husband and wife. This is the
worldly answer to the letter that
says: MY son is being divorced by
his wife. They have been married
25 years and have two children.
Naturally I feel very bad about
this, but so far have done nothing
to sever my relationship with my
daughter-in-laW I am still going
about with her and every day feel
more disloyal to my son, because 1
think being seen with her may look
to many people as though l were
taking sides with her, and am not.
In truth. I see her for the sake OF
the children. What is right IN the
eyes of the World?"
In answer to this, can only
say that of far more importance
than the "eyes of the world is the
question OF mitigating, as much as
possible, the unhappiness Of the
children. Therefore, whatever Is
best for them is the objective to
be sought for, and of next impor-
tance-to you possibly Of first i'm
portance-is consideration OF the
feelings of your son.
If you feel that he was unfairly
treated, then being seen with his
ex-wife as regularly as before their
separation would certainly be show
ing disloyalty to him But If they
have remained friends, and if
neither has caused the other any
real pain, then the less the chill
dren are made to feel the breaking
up of their home the better. And
in such a case your conduct would
bel think-right. Certainly their
tranquility-as much of it as can
be preserved-should come before
public opinion.

Dear Miss DIX am a stanch be-
lever that woman sets the pace
in any situation, especially in her
dealings with men. and I don't think
that girls give boys fair break in
not making their intentions toward
them explicit so that the boy will
know where he stands. Every girl
plays the field of young men for
her own gains and for that alone.
Not one heSitates to carry half
dozen young fellows along, making
each feel that he stands out in her
opinion above the rest. Then comes
the fatal day when she blossoms
forth with sparkling ring from one
of the lot. What are the other five
to do? I would appreciate knowing
what you think of this side of the
situation. Perhaps you can suggest
something to help some of us back
on our feet. w. E. B.
Answer-Perhaps the love game
can never be played with all the
cards on the table and with every
player being perfectly square and
honest. And especially is this true
of women, for they are handicapped
by not being able to select the men
they would like to have for husbands
and court them openly and frankly
A girl can't say to boy: John, I
love you. Will you marry me?
have a good job and I think I could
support you in the style in which
your father has always done" No,
she has to dissemble her feelings
and desires and sit on the sideline
and pretend she hasn't even noticed
John until some freak of luck makes
him see her. So the only chance
she has of getting the man she wants
is to gather around herself as many
men as she can in the hope that
among them she will find one who
will be what she wants.
This is no sinecure, believe me.
For while she is looking out for
Mr. Right she has to endure all sorts
and conditions of men-she has to
look interested while she is listening
to bores who are so tiresome they
make her want to scream.
She has to dance with Doors who
step on her feet and ruin her Slip
pers. She has to stave of pawers
without insulting them and making
them mad. She has to date with
tightwads who begrudge her an ice
cream soda.

was light. How many socks did
he take?

Flip them again, this time with
out the roll bringing the marked
sides up. Flip once more, with the
roll, and the matches will now ap-
pear to be marked on both sides!
You can keep this up almost in
definitely, and if you're reasonably
clever, nobody will discover the trick
unless he's in on it or just naturally
too smart. A little practice will
show you how simple this stunt is.
Just be sure that your fingers are
supple before you start it.
And here's one to fill in that pause
after the waitress brings you your
soda straWS and water glasses, but
before she finally produces the soda.
If the straws are encased in paper,
tap them smartly on the table. then
peel the paper Jacket down quickly,
so that it looks like tiny accordion.
Now sprinkle a few drops OF water
on the paper and watch it wiggle
and crawl across the table until its
folds are all Strengthened out. Ordl-
narily we don't advocate playing
with your eating utensils, but this
stunt is inoffensive and emlnently
preferable to the pause that en-
barrasses."
Speaking of eating, you can really
battle the boy friend if you'll do
little advance preparing with
needle, thread and-so help uS-a
banana. Thread the needle, then
slide the point just under the skin
at the middle of the banana. Push
the needle perhaps an inch farther
around it's circumference. Inserting
the point again in the out hole,
repeat the process until the middle
of the banana is completely en-
circled by a loop of thread just
under the skin.
Now grasp the end of the thread
and pull steadily. 1t will come out,
leaving the skin intact but with the
fruit neatly divided in half. Later
in the evening. tell Joe that you
have a special kind of bananas
grown for you, already divided, and
give him the fruit to peel in the
usual way. Watch his jaw hit his
top vest button when he discovers
the division. He'll spend the rest
of the evening trying to figure it
out
If you're in a giddy mood some
evening. you might bet the boy
friend that you can stand facing
him on a newspaper. and he still
can't kiss-or touch-you. After his
hoots of disbelief have exhausted
themselves. show him how it's done,
by placing the newspaper in door
way, getting him to stand on one
side, and then closing the door be-
tween you.
Or bet him that he can't lie on the
floor, arms folded across his chest,
and rise to his feet without touching
his elbows or hands to the door.
Once in a while you'll lose this little
gamble, but not often.
And here's a little mental fooler
that you can try on your date or
your gang with complete assurance
that most of them will miss it. A

New Beauty
Aids for
Winter
These Products
Will Preserve
Skin Texture
By Patricia Lindsay

Whether you are winter sports
enthusiast or simply an unfortunate
woman who must live long months
in a cold climate, you will be more
than elated to know that there are
three new beauty products espe-
cially mixed for your needs.
One is (and praise be that some
one thought Of presenting it to US
who suffers from chronic chapping)
satiny lotion to be rubbed all over
the body. hands and face after
bath. Ages ago heated, rare oils
were rubbed on the skin of famous
beauties during cold weather, and
we women of today should be
thrilled that we can do likewise at
little cost. This new body lotion is
flesh-c -colored-just to be more ap-
pealing!
For very dry skin. or faces exposed
to reflected sun from snow, there
is a rich protective film which keeps
your face looking as dewy as
flower petal at dawn and it actually
does prevent drying and chapping.
Any woman (sports enthusiast or
not) may use this as makeup base
during nippy weather. 1t has the
smoothness Of velvet and cream
rouges blend with it exquisitely.
You may wear it with or without
face poWder-many young things
like shining countenance instead
of mat one.
You may find that your very
favorite lipstick is not sufficient
to keep your lips smooth and un-
chapped when Arctic winds blow
To cope with this problem there is
a brand-new sportstick which is
neither lipstick nor a pomade. It
is, however, most excellent founda-
ton for your favorite lip rouge and
it does splendid job of keeping your
lips invitingly smooth! You apply
it. naturally, before you go out OF
doors.
There you are, an efficacious pro-
tective film for your face, a lovely
lotion for your body and an ideal
chap -preventer lipstick to preserve
your beauty whenever it faces a win
try blast or strong sun reflection.
Lucky we who can get these aids
so easily! American women should
be the most gorgeous of all women,
as we certainly have every oppor-
tunity to make the most of our
beauty!
