Home is lonely without the child

strong temptation to run over and

Or to call up and arrange for visit

Stay away until you are invited to

Why Grow
|Old?
By Josephine Lowman

BY Josephine LOpnGn
The idea of the beauty angle for
increasing circulation in the face
and neck was first introduced at
a well-known success school in
New York City.
An expert with whom I talked
about the success of the beauty
angle, assured me that she has
become convinced of its value in
filling out facial contour. Observa-
ton of the women who come 10 her
for self Improvement and inStruc-
tions in the use Of masks and meas
urementS have made her feel that
it does have an important place
in the beauty routine.
I pass this on to you as an in
tereSting new idea. Certainly the
position which the beauty angle
demands is restful and takes all
of the strain off of internal organs
which our upright posture puts on
them.
BY now virtually every one ex-
cept grandpa and baby knows what
the beauty angle is. However, some
. of you may not be using it cor
rectly. Remember that the hips as
well as the feet should be higher
than the head. The body should
be in a straight line from the feet
to the head. You can use board
with one end resting on the floor
and the other about 80 inches from
the floor. Your head, of course,
is at the low end.
This is the perfect time not only
for a rest but for skin fabrication.
While you take your beauty angle
rest, soak your skin in lubricating
cream. Begin by lying in this posi-
ton for few minutes only. Grad
| ually increase until you are spend
ing at least an hour in this strange
but happy state.

Advice About
Best Girls
Present
Keep Within Budget
Yet Offer a Gift
In Good Taste
By Patricia Lindsay

Young boys go Christmas shop
ping for only three in their lives,
or probably four. Their best girl,
mother, special pal, and perhaps,
their dad. They put off the job
until the last minute-most likely
until the day before Christmas. I
know, I have four brothers!
Well, I'm going to give these
chaps a little timely advice about
the girl friends gift.
know you think she is the most
wonderful woman in the world and
one day you are going to marry
her just as soon as you get out Of
school and get a job and some
money. But that time is long way
off-and she knows it. And she
also knows you haven't a fortune
now and does not expect gift you
cannot afford. Too many boys make
the mistake Of trying to make a
grand impression not only upon the
girl, but upon her family and friends

Reader Asks
Advice on
Standing
Bv Emily Post

Il L"bv OSf
A very nice question is whether
young man who instinctively
stands when q lady comes into the
room, and who finds himself in new
surroundings where the men all re-
main seated, should do what the
others do or rise and risk the criti-
cism of others or perhaps make
these others feel uncomfortable?
Quite seriously, l might answer
this question by asking il he were
to sit at the table with those who
eat with their knives would he do
the same? I would rather like to
say that it is high time some one
made some effort to check the slop-
py behavior which evidently is in
tended to match the sloppy clothes
that for some time have been af-
fected by first the boys and now
the girls in many of our colleges
But to answer this reader, I think
that the question of rising might
be solved by the manner of his do
ing so. To rise somewhat lazily in
what might be called q nonchalant
manner rather than to spring quick
ly to his feet might in this instance
avoid bringing criticism upon him
self.
AS matter of fact I think there
are signs of new trend-an ap-
probation of the value of charm.
I think the leaders of the youngest
generation are getting rather sick
of sloppiness. Young men are be-
ginning to object to tousle- headed
girls in ill-made, mannish clothes.
Girls. it seems to me, are not espe-
cially pleased with unshaven, un-
couth, ungallant boys.
Dear Mrs. Post: In our files we
have names of women that do not
indicate whether they are Miss
or Mrs. How should these women
be written to and is there any in
stance where it is proper to send
an envelope without title?
Answer-It is better to use the
wrong title than to commit the
rudeness Of addressing personal
letter to q lady and leave Oh the
title entirely. When you have no
way OF knowing whether she is
Mrs. or Miss, it is always taken
for granted that Mary Smith Is
Miss Mary Smith.
