Advises

A young woman asks me
whether there is any rule of
good taste that has caused train
bearers at wedding to go out
of fashion or whether it Is quite
proper to have them. She is in
terested in this because unless
she has train bearers she can
think of no way to let her 4
year-old twin nephews take part
at her wedding. A postscript
asks. They couldn't be flower
boys, could they?"
In answer I at least can as
sure her that train-bearers are
in perfectly good taste, but not
very practical since they necessi-
tate a court train. Lifting any
other type of train is not only
ugly, but would risk hobbling the
brides ankles. The real objec-
tions to a court train are formal
ity and expense.
You could call the children
pages" and have them walk
ahead Of you just as little flower
girls do. The idea of boys carry
ing baskets Of flowers would
hardly be suitable, but you can
overcome empty hands by having
them carry a rope of flowers.
This actually would be cut In
two so that 1t would give the
appearance of one length when
the children walk together with
clasped hands, but make two
short lengths when they separate
at the chancel.
To keep them from dropping
the ends, the garlands should
be tied few inches from their
ends to the children's wrists so
that they either could hold
them or let 60. All they have to
do is to hold hands when walk
ing together In the procession.

lar and shoes with above-the-
ankle buttons. Happier by far is
today's streamlined girl who
travels by air with a 70-pound
limit on her baggage.
Fashionists who have done re-
search on the 1912 era report that
at this time Paris was beginning
to feel its responsibilities as the
fashion center of the world, with
reporters and designers dashing
back and forth from New York
to France. 1t was reported then,
too, that the women of the Paris
stage were pioneers in fashion.
for they were the first to wear
the creation Of leading French
designers. Today many experts
believe that our own stars Of
Hollywood and the legitimate
stage may have the same reputa-
ton some 80 years hence and
that the American designers will
find in these prominent per-
sonalities the perfect medium for
displaying their creations.
The darlings Of 1912 chose
shadow lace. voile. Swiss en-
broidery and French batiste for
their dresses and selected silk
suiting and shepherds plaid wool
for the high styles of the season.
Today milady finds her test-tube
fashions new and exciting, her
fabrics Of milk fiber, spun glass
and rayon completely satisfac-
tory. and she uses them to sup
plement her wool and cotton
clothes.
So, you see, there is a great
similarity between the fashions
of yesteryear and the smart
modes of today, but there also
is vast difference in the
presentation and appearance of
trends which sound the same.
What 1912 and the years that fol-
low will bring to the fashion
scene no one really can say. It is
safe to guess, however, that the
best-dressed women In 1872 will
look back on old photographs and
fashion magazines with an
amused curiosity. Look at that
old ballerina evening dress"
they'll shrek. holding onto the
sides of their cellophane street
frocks. isn't that a perfect
scream?"

ing that they do not collect dust
and therefore demand little time
for proper care.
The outside panels of the door
might hold flower or bird prints
finished in slender frames, and
a smart idea would be to repeat
the idea elsewhere in the room
with other prints placed under
glass on the coffee table. The
coffee table may also be a most
inexpensive unpainted type with
the legs sawed off, one which
you may paint and decorate
yourself.

Moderation Is Needed by Parents
Too Prone Go TO Extremes When Bringing Ub Children

The parents who keep their
daughters on the shelf until they
are 20 or so in order to keep
them unspotted from the world
do them an irreparable wrong,
not only in having deprived them
of all the pleasure of girlhood,
which is the only time in life
when we are carefree and can
enjoy things with a light heart,
but In uniting them for the
world in which they must live.
And they practically doom them
to old maidenhood, for it is in her
school days and in her teens that
a girl learns how to attract men
and develops a technique in deal
ing with them that older women
never learn.
The girl who has not grown
up with boys never has a light
touch in handling men. She is
always too eager for their at
tentions or too standoffish. She
takes them too seriously. She
never gets wise to their lines
or learns what to believe and
what to only pretend to be-
lieve. She never acquires the
fine art of making herself seem
desirable in mans eye. She is
always the kisser instead of the
kissee.
And she is far more apt to
make a bad marriage than the
girl who has known many boys
and learned about men from
each one of them, because she
has had no chance of get
ting any f1rst-hand knowledge of
men and their ways and because
she is so f1attered at being no.
ticed by man that she generally
takes the first one who asks her.
And she makes a difficult wife
because she doesn't know how to
laugh things off or adapt herself
to q mere husband, who is al
ways a disappointment because
he isn't a movie hero or the
realization of her girlish dreams.
Admittedly, it is hard to know
how to deal with a daughter,
but the lock-and-key method of
protecting a girl doesn't seem to
work out much better than the
open-door policy after all.

Any fashion report that started
with these words-"White is big
news for street and Southern
wear, and the slashed skirt is
dramatic for evening"-might
easily be dated January, 1912"
On the other hand, it could just
as easily be an excerpt from a
fashion magazine of the 1912-1917
era, for a backward look at the
style scene indicates that there's
net such a great difference be-
tween current modes and those
of quarter century ago.

Hands Need
SpeciaI Care
For Beauty
By Josephine Lowm an.

The British slogan, Thumbs
Up" is perfect as hand exercise
and also as a spirit litter.
Your hands need not give your
age away If you will give them
the attention they need. They
require careful fabrication. Buy
a. good hand lotion and use after
each washing and before retir-
ing at night. Once a week, when
you are going to be in the house.
massage the hands with a hand
cream and wear cotton gloves
for few hours.
Wear gloves whenever you 60
out and especially when you drive
your car, play golf or wash dishes.
Give your hands special ex-
ercises.
Many women write to me about
large veins in the hands. This
is inherited and, as far as know.
there is nothing you can do about
it except keep the hands out of
hot water and hold them up,
rather than allow them to hang
down whenever this is feasible.
Try this thumbs up" exercise.
Bend the elbows and hold the
hands up in front of you. Clench
the fists. Loosen the thumbs and
pull them back into the thumbs
up" attitude. Bend the thumbs.
Fling thumbs and fingers as far
back as you can. Now pull the
fingers as far down on the palms
Of the hands as possible. Con-
tinue doing this until your hands
are tired. taking time for the fling
and for the clench and reach.
You cannot give your hands
too much care, for they need
plenty of attention if you want
to keep them fresh, soft and
young looking. We all use our
hands constantly, and We should
reward them for their daily round
of tasks by treating them to mas
sage. special exercises and sooth-
ing lotions and creams.
Remember that men are usual
ly much fussier about a woman's
hands than they are about
whether she has a pretty face or
a good figure.

There Sa Job for YOU!
By frankie Kuhn.

There is one function in con-
nection with any volunteer civil
ian defense work that must not
be overlooked by you or any one
else. 1t is a simple process and
sounds almost too elemental to
be discussed but it is nonethe-
less an important one. 1t is to
examine your abilities carefully
before dashing into one of the
volunteer offices and signing up
for everything in the book.
Take stock of the things you
can do now without any further
instruction. It Is far wiser for
you to enter those branches Of
civilian defense in which you
have had some preparation than
it is to use the training courses
as means of picking up stray bits
of knowledge, even if it is done
with the best of good intentions.
We're not frowning upon a de-
sire to learn; on the contrary,
we're all for those who have their
eyes peeled for new fields of en-
deavor. But you will be wasting
your time and that of the in
strlfctor, both of which are in
finitely valuable these days. by
volunteering for a job about
which you know little or nothing
and will, therefore, require in
tensive training.
On the other hand, if you, for
example, have been trained in
first aid you can step in as an
itA&xuctor and begin work imme-
oAatelv, leaving your chair in the
nutrition class vacant for some
one else.
This job of volunteering should
be done while following the same
principles you used in seeking
employment. You didn't tell your
prospective employer that you
could do nothing but were willing
to learn: before contracting him
you knew what you could do and
wanted to do and you went
after that. Try to follow the
same procedure when you go to
the volunteer office. And remem-
ber that the registrar there does
not know what you can do best,
so stick to one or two things and
forget the job about which you
know nothing but which sounds
like fun"
Please don't get the idea that
we're running down the train
ing courses. We're not, by any
stretch of the imagination. They
are as valuable as any other part
of the civilian defense program
and are open to any one with the
ambition to do her part by pre-
pairing herself for specific even
Qualities.
The American Women's Volun-
tary Services has a wide range Of
courses, practically all Of them
given at night as well as during
the day. They are open to nom
members Of the organization as
we'll as to members and no en-
trance fee is required.
One of the headliners is, of
course. first aid. Little more need
be said about that particular de-
fense necessity, but there are
others that are perhaps not so
well known. For example, take
the nutrition course. 1t is taught
by qualified nutritionists ap-
proved by the Red Cross and is
not limited to housekeepers. 1t
stresses the Importance of proper
diet, balanced menus, and all of
the sources of strength to be de-
rived from the intelligent use of
foods, which is so important to-
day. y
Another course that seems
rather unimportant until reports
from England are needed, is given
to train telephone switchboard
operators, This is a four-hour
