Dear Dorothy Dix: Can you tell
me a sure-fire method by which I can
determine whether or not I am in
love with a girl? 7 have been going
with one for more than a year now
and still am unable to answer this
question concerning my own feel
ings. I like to dance with her. I
like her smile and her understanding
nature, and whenever I leave her
some magnetic attraction always
draws me back. She takes the lead
in sentimental conversation, while I
sit back and listen. I haven't the
heart to say sweet little nothings to
her until I am sure that mean
them. BY the way, is Cupid a girl
or a boy?
MEMBER OF STRONGER SET.
Answer-Cupid is always repre-
sented by artists as being boy and
poets, who seem more familiar with
him than other people, call him
Dan, but personally, I have always
believed that he was of the feminine
persuasion, for no one can deny
that women are more concerned
with the subject of love than men
are, and that if they didn't do most
of the counting it wouldn't be done.
Alas, I fear that 1 can throw but
little light on your problem of de-
termining the state of your affec-
tions and deciding whether you are
in love for keeps, or are just pre-
occupied with a passing fancy.
Science has given us the lie-detector
that enables us to tell whether
others are speaking the truth or not,
but human ingenuity has failed to
devise any gadget that will tell US
whether that gone feeling we ex-
perience at the sight of some par
ticular man or woman is love, or in
digestion, and whether it calls for a
wedding ring or bicarbonate.
We can only guess at what the
nature and quality and strength of
our emotions mean and how often
we guess wrong is proven by the
number of philandering husbands
and wives we see and the divorce
statistics.
Generally speaking, I should say
that as long as a man wonders
whether or not he is in love with a
girl, he isn't, and he is wise to give
himself the benefit of the doubt.
Real love is like the measles. You
break out with it all over and there
is no argument about how you feel.
You know you've got it.
Also, should say that when a
man let's the girl do all the love-
making and is cautious about COM
mitting himself he isn't hard hit.
Cupid may have struck him glanc-
ing blow, but the arrow didn't hit
the bulls-eye When a man has a
fatal wound in his heart he wants
to tell the girl all about it and
describe his symptoms ad infinitum
Nor does he weigh his words. No
promises are too rash for him to
give. No statement too exaggerated
for him to make. He throws veracity
to the winds and spends perfectly
enchanting evening telling some
commonplace, ordinary girl that she

We don't advise boarding, but this is
q marvellous time to tuck away sew
eral jars of the cream. Most wom-
en- do.
In 1918 it was the Castle bob"
that went to women'S heads; today
the trend in coiffures is toward a
little thing known as the feather
bob," a short, smart hairstyle that's
becoming more popular every day.
Always in wartime we have shorter
hair, primarily through neces-
sity. It's impossible to imagine a
glamour girl" hairstyle behind an
important defense job and women
have no time these days to fuss with
intricate, complicated coiffures. So
1t stands to reason that If you
haven't had your locks shorn in the
new, sophisticated manner you will
do so when you see how becoming
the style is to every one else.
One of the local salons points out
that their featherbob differs greatly
from the hairstyles of World War !
due to the fact that there are 50
many variations on the principal
theme. They do featherbobs with
swirls, with center parts and with
curls, each with the air of indi-
viduality that women demand no
matter how long or short their
"crowning glory" To make the pic
ture complete this salon also has
created a special permanent for the
short haircut and it's a permanent
that makes complicated hair care
practically extinct. 1t had to take
a war to break down womens re-
sistence to the barber shears, but

of the work which has been done
and the beauty which has been re-
created at Williamsburg for every
one to enjoy, the restoration as a
whole, with its presentation of color,
design, handcrafts, textiles and
ceramics, probably has done more to
influence taste in this country than
any other event in our history.
You should plan to stay at least
two days in Williamsburg so that the
quiet charm of the town may over

is built wisely around the activities

the great columnar trees and look
back at the perfect proportions OF

exceedingly glad that all OF this
has been preserved.
"Breathes there man with soul

earth and that he could never weary
of holding her lily white hand. And
unless you can do that you are not
in love.
Other tests of love that, while not
conclusive, are important in show
ing how your temperature is run
ming are these: Has something hap
pened to your eyesight that makes
you see homely girl as more beau
tiful than cinema star?
How much of a girls society can
you stand when she doesn't talk
about you? Can you listen to a
little canary bird twitter for hours
at stretch and still ask for more?
What are your feelings towards the
girls family-murderous, or do you
regard them as delightful people?
And, above all, ask yourself. hon.
estly and truly, would you rather
have Mary Jane or new stream

But in the end. no matter how
careful you are, you will have to
take chance on your own heart.

FOR MEN ONLY!
believe that men are more
"gadgety"- minded than women.
They are intrigued with anything
of a mechanical nature. Have you
ever noticed how fathers wear out
their children's toys at Christmas
time or how they fall for special
feature" products?
Many men would exercise if they
had some articles to employ in this
activity. For this reason many of
them enjoy using dumbbells,
weights or elastic exercisers. Since
man is more interested in building
bulging muscles than woman, he
can use a lot of this.
The following gyration is fine for
building up the muscles of the leg
and ankles. If you have an elastic
exerciser. use that. If not, get q
heavy elastic band. Sit on the
floor. Take one end of the elastic
in each hand. Straighten the legs
and lie down on your back. Point
the toes of the left foot toward youl
head. Now pull on the band ano
point the toes of your left foot away
from you. Continue pointing toes
toward head, pulling on the band
and pointing in the other direction
Change the band to the right
foot and do the same exercise.
It's unbelievable what exercise
will do for the human body. II

they're all out for abbreviated

Speaking of war time and its effect
upon our beauty care, another of
the specialists about town sends
word of a "half-hour treatment"
which is designed for the busy
woman of today. This treatment is,
strangely enough, exactly what it
sounds. Between committee meet
ings Washington ladies can pop into
the salon for a face going over" and
emerge feeling refreshed, relaxed
and not little beautiful. The rou-
tine consists of a thorough cleans
ing, a lotion application and cold
application, followed by a complete
makeup correctly given and de-
signed to minimize your faults.
If any, and emphasize your good
features. The whole thing will
pick up your spirits at the end Of
the day If, for example, you have
an important date after work. The
restful atmosphere of the salon
alone is worth the price.

Display of Crocheted
Fashions Attracts
Interest Locally

We should have known it all the
time, of course, but we realized for
the first time yesterday that there's
more to this great American pastime
of crocheting than just whipping up
q pair of baby booties or an anti
macassar. In a Washington store
we viewed collection of hand
crocheted fashions designed by
Wanda and Bronia Kofer, Polish
born sisters, who started crocheting
as hobby, progressed to a salon in
Paris and now are creating exquisite
designs in this country.
There are resort togs and sport
togs. millinery, evening accessories
and lingerie, to say nothing OF a
bridal headdresS that certainly
should become an heirloom. All
these fashions, now on display, will
be presented in a style show today
and tomorrow and it's interesting
to see these clothes which are ham
died as deftly and cleverly as though
they were made of fabric. Indeed,
many of the jacket weaves look like
tweeds and woolens, while others,
such as an evening mantilla and
mitts, give the appearance of fine
lace
All together there are 80 costumes
on display, ranging from the cotton
crocheted evening coat which
actually is a jacket and long skirt,
and something of an amazing crea-
ton. to tiny touches of crochet work
in the form of frogs on the jacket
of a suit, or of separate pinwheel
motifs scattered like snowhakes
down the side of a velvet dinner
gown. Mother-and-daughter ski
jackets, mittens and hats show a
definite Tyrolean influence in bright
green and red Accessories play an
important part in this group Of
cotton fashions which.
they tell us, are surprisingly easy
to duplicate. There are cocktail
hats and evening Juliet caps,
purses, weskits, beach capes and eve
ming jackets studded with rhine
stones. Even more fascinating than
the display itself is the significance
behind it, for it may be that in the
days to come we will replace many
of our current fashions with cotton
crocheted styles. And successfully,
too. H.V.

Fineer.Nail Tip

Perhaps you've been wondering
why your nail polish doesn't 60 on
in that nice, smooth surface you
see in pictures. The answer may
be in the fact that your nails aren't
completely free of old polish. nail
white or nail dust from the emery
board. Each nail must be thor
oughly cleaned before applying new
polish and must be absolutely dry
or the polish will bubble. A first
coat of clear, colorless polish before
you apply the color you prefer gives
q finish which will last longer.

Embarrassed
Guest Often
Rescued
Hostess May Repeat
His Trifling Error
In Tactful Way
By Emily Post

Would you," asks a reader, de
liberately make what you consider
mistake either in pronouncing a
word or in your table manners, Just
because a guest in your house had
done so? In other words, do good
manners require a host or hostess
to go to such lengths to avoid en-
barrassing a guest?"
Ordinarily I should answer mo"
to both questions. But there might
be an occasion when coming to the
rescue of an embarrassed guest
would be an involuntary impulse of
tact. You would always, I think,
use a Synonym-or at least try to
avoid using the mispronounced
word. But in the event you had to
repeat it, you would give the word
your own pronunciation.
The table manner details are
much less important, and therefore
copying the error more likely. ANY,
thing so trif1ing as using the wrong
fork might keep a guest from feel
ing abashed. But deliberately to
spill something on the table cloth
simply because he had would be
ridiculous. The best way, usually
to help a self-conscious guest to feel
at home is to show no awareness of
his manners.
Dear Mrs. Post: I am marrying
for a second time. I'm still young,
however, and liked your suggestion
to some one else who was young,
of wearing a pastel wedding dress
with a short pastel tulle veil to
match. But I can't remember what
you said about the flowers to be
carried with a wedding dress of
color. Should they be in color or
may they be in white?
Answer-Personally, think flow
ers that tone in with the color
of the dress are more harmonious,
but that does not mean that you
must agree. There Is no rule that
prohibits whatever variety of white
flowers you prefer, except orange
blossoms. These and white we'd
ding veil have long been the SYM
bols of a maiden bride. For a sec
ond wedding the description of
wedding dress and veil in color
should be interpreted with modera-
ton: Train not too long, veil frag-
ment, bouquet not too big. color not
too pale to be mistaken for white.
So many requests have been
made for copies of my article on
details concerned with training
camps behavior Of visitors and
presents for the mem, that
have had 1t printed as leaflet
and will be very glad to send 1t
to any one who sends me a self
addressed, Scent, stamped en-
velope in care Of this paper.
Leaflets cannot be mailed unless
self addressed envelope bears
correct amount Of postage.
