It's open season on telephone
calls in the Star Woman's De-
partment. Anxious feminine
voices on the other end of the
line inquire What shall I choose
for my wedding dress? It's to be
a very simple ceremony with only
the family present" Or very often
they will say, "Is it all right to be
married in a tailored suit? My
fiance and I work for the Gov
ernment and since we have no
family here in Washington we're
just going to dash of and get
married without any fuss" In a
city such as this where time is the
most precious commodity, there
is an epidemic of these small,
very informal weddings, but that's
no reason why the bride can't
look as breath taking as though
she were wearing white satin,
grandmother's pearls and a tiara
of orange blossoms.

Il am planning simple we'd

use my f1ance's regimental colors
in the wedding, in some way.
Would it be all right to have, the
bridesmaids (two of them) wear

in the medium blue and red of

1t is rapidly becoming fash
ion to carry out regimental colors
in the bouquets for a wedding,
even the bride sometimes carry
ing flowers in his colors. If you
are being married in white, as I
assume you are, you could carry
a white bouquet and have the
color done beautifully in the bou-
quets of your attendants, as you
have suggested. Ribbons on their
hats and on their belts or COL
ored gloves might further accent
the color scheme.

Again the Riddle: How Old Is Ann"

same, there is no criticism we
wouldn't rather have made upon

murder upon them.

"Setting-up housekeeping" for
the smart young marrieds" Of
spring 1912 Is q complicated busi-
ness. Many of them do not know
how long they will remain in one
city, and with orders sending
them to far corners of the earth
at q few hours notice, q bride
must be able to pack up her
"lares and penates" and follow
along, or keep the home fires
burning while she holds a job
until Johnny comes home again"
Combining all of this with q
desire to start marriage in her
own home rather than q hotel or
a furnished room takes more than
a bit of ingenuity and brings
plenty of praise to the ones who
manage 1t all so cleverly.
Cut down to essentials, almost
any background will do If you
can just convince yourself that it
belongs to you. The little, per-
sonal things that you have ac-
quired through the years placed
advantageously in a small fur
nished apartment will make it
home" in spite Of the fact that
the sofa, the rugs and the chairs
are not what you would pick out
for yourself. Add to this one or
two priceless possessions such as
a beautiful picture and a silver
tea set which you might feel you
could not afford II you had to
furnish a whole house. You will
be "at home" as soon as the trunk
Is unpacked, wherever you are.
Knowing full well that moving
cumbersome furniture is out of
the question. that delicate and
fragile possessions will need more
care than a busy existence can
offer, and that formality is not
the order OF the day, the clever
bride is planning smart, bright,
colorful accessories that will i'm
pose her own personality and
taste on the most drab barracks
or the most impossible" fur
nished rooms. Whether life
goes on in the whirlwind that Is
Washington or the farthest out
post Of Alaska there will be her
own colorful, inexpensive china,
her own bits of beauty and
craftsmanship in the form of
decorative conversation pieces"
This bride will have background
in which she is insulated against
annoyance by her own lovely pos
sessions which are pleasantly re-
assuring.
For the table, she chooses
every day" linens that will stand
the onslaught of laundries that
may not be of the best, plus few
lovely, fragile things for special
occasions" For the bedroom, the
lightest all-wool blankets and
the loveliest silk comforter COM
bined with sleek sheets will take
ones mind of the dreary ap-
pearance of boarding house bed
rooms. For the bath, her own
lovely thick-piled bath towels

minister without saying a word
to anybody!
If you're planning a wedding
with, say, only another couple"
in attendance, your costume is, Of
course, most informal. A little
suit is still the best choice, we
think, but it mustn't be a too
tailored one, and above all, let
it have no trace of severity. This
is your day to look feminine and
appealing, so be sure that your
suit is one of the charming little
"dressy" ones, preferably in a
pastel. Pick out the most frothy,
frilly blouse you can find and the
gayest, perkiest little hat, prob
ably flower trimmed and swathed
in yelling. Let your flowers be
something you dearly love-it
doesn't matter whether your taste
runs to orchids or violets, have
what you want. Probably you'll
prefer a shoulder corsage, but
it's perfectly all right for you to
hold a tiny bouquet as does the
happy bride in the lower picture.
Maybe If you're marrying "the
Navy" and wearing navy blue.
you'll want to hold a red, white
and blue bouquet-it's a charm
ing idea.
If you're going to be married
before only few witnesses, but
you insist that it's to be a planned
and announced ceremony, be sure
that your costume is correspond
ingly "dressier." In this case
dress is better than q suit, espe-
cially if it's one with tiny jacket
or possibly a redingote ensemble.
Your hat should be as frilly as
possible and accessories, too, will
have slightly more glamour"
than those worn by the bride who
dashes of for a very quiet cere-
mony. Once again, choose your
color scheme with care. Re-
member that black should never
be worn by the bride or her at
tendantS, nor should the too
vivid tones. Choose something
dainty, some color of which your
husband-to-be is especially fond,
perhaps, a blue or soft green tone
or even beige with bright acces-
sories. Prints are excellent. espe-

Most coats, with their padded
shoulders and big collars make
me look too heavy, as I am short
and not slender. What can you
suggest for a spring coat, in color
and Ines?"
Try dark color, navy perhaps,
and straight lines that hang from
plain shoulders, not too padded.
If your shoulders are square you
may not need any padding at all.
Avoid yokes and wide lapels. AV-
neckline on the coat with no
collar or a narrow rolled collar
should give you a slender look.
Il have enough red dress linen
for a blouse, jacket or a skirt.
What would you suggest 1 do
with it this summer?"
Make a jacket and wear 1t with
a navy and white polka dotted
crepe dress for street, with plain
white dresses for hot-weather
wear, and with your white cotton
evening frocks.

Il am very tall, and my head is
small, so that I do not look well
in the little flower hats that are
usually worn in the afternoon.
What else would be good with q
black sheer dress?"
Make color and a dramatic
shape do the trick of dressing up
your black sheer In the afternoon.
A big pink felt or straw hat
matched by pink gloves would be
pretty. Aquamarine or pale blue,
purple or the bright shades of red
and green may be used in the
same way. Or If black is becom-
ing, be mysterious in a big black

Jim up at sight as being in his
sixties, and we don't have to be
any soothsayer to know that 1t
has been more than 30 yeers since
Mrs. Smith celebrated her last
birthday. but we are perfectly
sure that any one would take us
to be in our early forties.
Our inability to realize our age
would be a harmless delusion and
a comforting one If only 1t did
not lead us into committing so
many follies. For 1t is what
causes old women to make them
selves figures of fun by wearing
clothes that are too young for
debutante, and by ogling and
flirting with paid gigolos and
talking about their boy frienss.

1t would seem that the question
OF age is a personal one between
the individual and the Vital Sta
tistics Bureau and that it is a
matter of no concern to the gen.
eral public. But, on the contrary,
there is nothing about which we
are so curious as we are about
the ages Of other people. We are
never weary Of guessing how
many birthdays our friends and
enemies have had, and the first
question we ever ask about any
stranger is: How old is he, or she?
Perhaps the inability to solve the
mystery is what piques our in
terest, for there are no hard and
fast rules for gauging persons
age. You can't Judge q mans
and woman's age by their teeth,
as you can q horses, when den
tistry has become such q fine art.
Nor can you answer the riddle by
glittering generalities, such as
saying n man is as old as his
arteries and q woman is as old as
her artifices," because mems
blood pressure varies with their
temperaments even more than 1t
does with their circulation, and
even female babies in the kinder
garten know their makeups.
Formerly you could date men and
women by their "reminiscences,
but nowadays, when nobody per-
mits themselves to recall anything
that happened later than last
year, even that source of infor-
nation has gone into the discard.
Even a birth certificate Is q
broken reed to lean upon in de-
Gliding whether a person is young
or old, because chronological age
really means nothing. There are
men and women who are born
octogenarians and who are vir-
tually tottering on the verge OF
the grave while still in their
teens. And there are other men
and women who never grow up
and who are still frolicsome lads
and. lassies in their nineties.
And If age is such a matter OF
guesswork to others. is it any
wonder that we are so uncertain
about 1t In ourselves, and that
we tell those lies about it upon
which the Recording Angel must
surely drop a pitying tear that
blots them out of the record?
For we never seem as old to our
selves as we look to others, or
they look to us. No matter how
many mirrors we have, we never
see a bald-headed, stoOp-shoul-
dered old man, with wattled chin
and a paunchy figure. We see a
slim young man, straight as an
arrow, with ambrosial curls. Nor
do we see a faded old woman.

Many women are confused
about hair and scalp cleanliness
because there are several prevail
ing theories on when to wash the
hair and how to wash 1t. hope
the following will clarity this
problem.
A healthy, normal mead Of hair
which is not ailing in any man
ner, may and should be washed
once every 10 days or two weeks
unless a person works or lives
where the air is laden with
dust which settles on the scalp
daily. Then it must be washed
weekly. Between shampoos the
scalp may be freshened with q
cleansing tonic applied with cot
ton to the roots of the hair at
partings every inch. The hair
length should be kept clean by
brushing daily.
Ailing headS-scalps which
have dandruf1, excess oil scaly
cutical, itching-require more
specific shampooing. One of the
leading scalp specialists advocates
shampooing an ailing scalp every
other day for a period of 20 days.
Before the shampoo the scalp is
treated with ointment and tonic
to correct the abnormal condition.
1t Is also well massaged with the
fingers to encourage better circu-
lation. Many scalps, however.
which are dry cannot stand this
astringent treatment so it is bet
ter to limit the shampoos to twice
a week and to use the specifics on
the scalp every other day.
Contrary to belief it has been
proven to me that the oily scalp
should not be washed more often
than every 10 days and it is better
If one can stretch the period to
two weeks. But daily scalp mas
sage, cleansing with an astringent
corrective tonic, and brushing are
vitally necessary. In fact, If
piece of chiffon is wrapped over
the brush bristles before a 10
minute brushing session, the hair
