What weird things women are do
ing with nail polish these days!
This sbright-colored liquid which has
so annoyed men and so overjoyed
women has travelled a long day from
its original, conventional role!
Its new part is especially interest
ing now since we may have to wear
the clothes we have longer or buy
most wisely in the future. The
problem of making the same dress
look different has gained Importance
Now women use nail polish to
paint the buttons on their dresses
different colors, just for variety, or
perhaps to match new scarf or
belt. Belt buckles are also adorned
with flowers, or dots or new shade
In order to match a new hat. The
polish is easily removed from any
hard surfaced buttons or buckles
with nail polish remover.
This idea was introduced by one
Of the newer but up and coming
houses and is gaining in popularity
It really offers great scope for var
iety in q few costumes and for SELF
expression.
Nail polish is also being used to
paint children's names on glasses
and for decoration and names at
parties.
Remember that a change in the
color of your buttons or buckles, a
new scarf or ornament, a new belt
or aschange of pace in hats, all help
Also a plain, simply cut dress for
morning can, with q few dreSSy
accessories, be lifted into . lighter
mood for evening.

Never Embarrass
Your Youngster
Before Others
By Leffice Lee Street,

Unknown to Mary, her mother
had guests for tea, and rosy blush
of embarrassment suffused the little
girls face when she and Jane burst
into the living room like two noisy
young whirlwinds.
Mary's mother, sweet and SYM
pathetic person, sensed her little
daughters embarrassment, and after
the two youngsters had spoken to
the guests she encircled Mary's slim
waist with her arm, smiled and said,
Il can tell that you two have had
fine time playing outside. 1t is
windy, isn't it? After you wash your
hands and faces and brush your
hair, shall give you some tea and
cake for a dolls tea party. Would
you like that?"
Both children clapped their grimy
little paws together in glee, breath
lessly answering in an excited duet,
"Oh! Yes! Oh! Thank you'll"
Embarrassment had taken to its
heels and left behind two grateful
small misses who were not only at
ease again, but also anxious to please
this nice mother.
Notice that Mary's mother did not
say IF you will wash your hands. I"
She said, After you have washed
your hands" She happens to be the
soul of tact. but with this she seems
to understand the ways of children,
too, and how to handle them easily.
She does not allow any bribes or
fussing about dirty hands and faces
before strangers. She never gives
any rude commands that cause hu-
initiation.
A child cannot learn to have poise
II his dignity is torn from him be-
fore others and his pride left in tat
ters. The best way to help a young
person to attain poise is to treat him
always with courtesy and respect be-
fore others SO that during childhood
he will feel secure in the kind of
treatment he may expect. Poise is
impossible If fear, or even the slight
est tinge of uneasiness, are present

Divide Check
Those on Budgets
Must Pay More
Than Share
By Emily Post

The not unusual custom of divid-
ing a restaurant check into equal
shares Wien three or four people
from an office happen to go out to
lunch together is a very unfair one
unless the lunch is at a fixed price
and the amount of each check the
same. This is written to those with
very good appetites who eat in la
carte restaurants and then ghbh
suggest to the others who have much
smaller appetites, that they divide
the check into equal parts because
it's so much easier than making
separate additions!"
Unhappily a young girl who tells
me she cannot afford to spend more
than a carefully budgeted amount
for her lunch, sits down, orders her
frugal menu and is joined by two or
three others who order substantial
meals and then make her pay a
third or fourth of the total. She
had just paid her lunch money for
three days in order to pay this
fourth of the lunches ordered by
her three companions.
Beyond printing this in the hope
that those who suggest this unfair
division will hear of it, the only So
luton can suggest is that she sit
at soda counter, where a separate
check is certain to be given her,
rather than at a table.
Dear Mrs. Post: When a paid en-
tertainer-in this specific case a
man who sits and plays his own ac-
compartments on the piano-comes
to a party, is he supposed to be in
troduced to the guests? I do not
object to introducing them-please
do not misunderstood my motive in
asking-but wondered what is GUS
tomarily done? Perhaps an enter
tainer does not wish to have to
undergo meeting people in whom he
may have no particular interest. !
would like to do what is customary,
If you will tell me what that is?
Answer-When an artist is cele-
brated, the guests are likely to want
to meet him. When an entertainer
even though perhaps not as yet a
recognized celebrity, is so well along
on the way, as to impel his audi
ence to draw near his piano, he, of
course, will meet every one in the
room. In other words, whether he
meets people or not depends very
much upon his own personality and
how much or how little interest his
audience feels in meeting him. Of
he disljkes his audience, the chances
of their wanting to meet him are
slight-unless he is geniusD

you can get into tub that's just
foaming with bubbles-and it's Won
derful. Next, talk the head of the
house into buying you long-han-
died brush so you can scrub your
shoulders and back and do away
with those blemishes we were talk
ing about. Try your hair in differ
ent ways-if you like it long, all
right, as long as it's clean and
brushed. Maybe you'd care to try
short haircut which is popular right
now and which can be kept in place
easily-if you promise to use that
hairbrush every night.
Watch your fingernails, too. No
foolin', it's amazing but people tell
us that's one of the first things they
notice. Don't go in for long, long
claws, because they're not popular
since women are working so hard in
war activities. Same thing holds
true with darker polish shades
there's a very definite interest in
pale poliShes which are just right
for you. But-and we sigh as We
mention it-even nicely rounded
nails with soft polish on them look
mighty strange with a layer of CRIME
surrounding them. So keep your
hands and nails spick and span.
And-but, gee whiz, we shouldn't
have to tell you all these things!

frills and useless fripperies. Buy
what you need with your usual at
tention to detail and good construc-
ton. Try to avoid asking for spe-
cial finishes and unusual upholstery
fabrics that demand extra factory
jobs. for this will hold up delivery
and complicate the machinery of
production.
Personal service Is one Of the
things that it is unfair to demand
today, for no one has time to cater
to the Whims and fancies of one
selfish individual. To be sure. any
one who pays his hard-earned
money for a chair or table is en-
titled to value, but the idea back of
the effort of manufacturers and re-
tailerS is to furnish what is actu-
ally needed and give up "the ex-
tras" until later day. Buy a good
chair and a fine table and take 1t
in the finish in which it is offered
Select upholstery fabrics in a ma
terial that goes with what you have
or "in the muslin" and slip cover it,
but make every effort to demand as
few as possible of the custom
built details of former days. In
this way you may do your share to
keep the necessary furniture rolling
off the finishing table without slow
ing things down by throwing your
personal monkey wrench" into the
machinery.
The fabric market IS exciting and
stimulating. There seems to be no
dearth of materials, and the colorS
and designs are enough to make
you forget all the drabness of
dark winter. Use these to cover
your old chairs and sofas and to
bring color and pattern interest into
your rented house whose walls may
not be just what you would have
ordered. When buying materials
take care to measure for yardage
correctly so that you will have
enough fabric. There are difficult
ties these days in reordering out
of-stock" designs. The new bolts
take some time for delivery and
since they may come out of another
dye run, they are likely to vary
just enough in color to be discon-
certing. This is another case where
careful attention beforehand can
ease the situation all along the line
and save delays and disappoint-
ments.

by his wife's tongue. There is no
sin that his wife could possibly
commit that he can't overlook
easier than having her tell him
over and over every day of his life
about what he should do. and eat,
and wear, or remind him of some
fault that he has, or drag up out
of the past some mistake that he
made 20 years ago. 1t is the don't

Is bad for your digestion" don't

that are like the continual dropping
of water on stone that eventually
wears out the strongest love.
AS long as wife tells her husband
a thing one time and then lets it
ride she can lead him around like
Mary's little lamb. But when she
becomes a repeater 1t gets his back
up and he balkS like an army mule
and would kick over the traces and
run away If it were not for the
children.
Next in the category OF things that
men object to in their wives is
cold cream. which greaSes the slide
to more divorces than almost any
one thing. No man yearns to kiss
a cheek that is glistening with lard,
and when his wife appears before
him with her war paint of and her
wrinkle eradicator on, she ceases
to be a Lady Love, for she has
served notice on him that the
romance is over, the mystery ended,
and she doesn't care how she looks
to him.
The next thing that men object
to in their wives is bad housekeeping
Most men marry to get home.
They are tired Of living around in
clubs and hotels and boarding
houses and eating mass production
food that tastes as if it had all
come out of the same pot. and
they dream of coming at night to a
home where the lights will be burn
ing for them, and a smiling wife
will welcome them. and there will be
a savory dinner of the things they
like best, cooked the way they like
it, waiting for them.
Picture, then, their disappoint-
ment when they get wives who are
too lazy and trifing to keep house
that doesn't look like pigsty; who

give an ostrich acute indigestion,

be putting on foor-length gowns
and going to dances and then you'll
find yourselves compared to other
young ladies who, we're afraid. may
have been wiser in the past. These
young ladies that you'll meet at
dances and football games and fra
ternity teas may have learned that
you can't look pretty unless you're
as clean as a whistle. Their backs
and shoulders, set of by low-cut
gowns, won't be full of blemishes
and blackheads which come when
scrubbing is forgotten. Their faces
won't have a gray look that no
amount of powder and makeup can
conceal. And their hair will be
shining and pretty because they
learned to brush it and wash it
often when they first began to take
pride in their appearances.
You can see why we're worried
about you. After all, we're going to
feel pretty silly if you show up at
these affairs looking as though you
hadn't met a bathtub socially for
years. It's going to make us look
bad-so if you insist upon going on
as carelessly as you are now, just
do us a favor and don't tell any one
you read this column.
And that's so much for the future,
but what about the good old pres
ent? Say you're IL years old and
you want to wear enough powder to
keep the shine of your nose and
just a touch of ipstick, so light it's
not even noticeable to your Sunday

remember that the people who
manufacture cosmetics don't try
them out over grimy skin. They de-
clare that their powders and lip
sticks are good. but even they ad-
NIT that there is no use putting
them on skin that isn't clean and
bright. Not only do they turn out
the wrong color that way, but they
get all clogged up and give you a
complexion that looks like a cross
between a meat crater and a mud
puddle.

Manners
of the
Moment

Women who like to talk of their
friends impending divorces and re-
verses should refrain from such
conversations while they are under
the drier at the beauty parlor, and
they particularly should refrain from
giving names under such conditions.
You ought to know by now. my
friend, that every time you talk
under the drier your voice booms
out for a couple of blocks. And you
can never tell who may be standing
on the next corner listening.
Even the girl sitting in the nearby
chair, waiting for her appointment,
is not going to appreciate your gos-
sip. Not, that is. if she has any
sensitivities left. She may not know
you or your friends. But once hav-
ing heard you discuss your affairs
from under the drier, she knows
you like a book.
And do you want every Tom,
Dick, Harry. Jane and Susan to
know you like a book? JEAN.
