the intention Of coming to see you.
Then say you'd be happy if he
would, and leave up to him the re-
sponsibihty Of finding . place to
stay.
BY thus letting him take the
initiative in suggesting Z visit to
your town. you will avoid the en-
barrassment Of asking him to come
to see you, and then letting him
stay at a hotel However, such a
procedure would by no means be a
direct insult; in fact, 1t is quite
the usual thing for boys to stay at
hotels when visiting out-of town
girls whom they don't know too
we'll. The young man probably does
not expect an invitation to stay at
your home on such short acquaint-
ance; he might even think you
were pursuing him G bit If you
extended it.
Later, when you know him better,
you can invite him to spend a week
end at your home If you want him
to and your family approves.
The second letter is from won

Il am 1s years old and have been
corresponding with soldier for
some time. but 1 have never met
him. He has asked me to let him
come to see me, but people talk so
about girls meeting strangers.
Since I have been writing to him
have become very fond OF him, and
he says he loves me- But I am
afraid that after we meet he and
will both change. Please give me
your advice"
Two points seem to be involved
here-the propriety Of having an
unknown soldier" come to see you,
and the danger Of having the actual
meeting end in a sight-unseen
romance.
AS for the first point. we don't
know how you first started writing
to this boy, and certainly the affair
doesn't follow the usual conven-
tions covering masculine friendships.
But such situations are common in
wartime, and If the boy has made
a good impression on you by mail.
we think your long correspondence,
with the opportunity 1t has offered
to get acquainted with him, might
we'll serve as an acceptable intro

Sugar Rationing
Prompts Two
Questions
Colnmnisf Offers
Simple Answers
To Problems
By Emily Post

Two new guest-manners questions
brought about by sugar rationing
are: Cd What is the best way to
carry ones own sugar when going
to lunch or dine In the house Of
friend whose sugar is, OF course,
limited7 CD How can one ask to
be excused for the nlpoliteness OF
helping ones self to ones own supply
and pronering none?
The simplest answer to both OF
these questions Is to acquire taste
for saccarine, or similar substances,
which are 50 intensely sweet that
the equivalent Of many Jumps Of
sugar can be carried in . tiny box
or vial and. since none Of these is
likely to be rationed, one may proner
ones own without stint. Real sugar
can be carried in any box In to which
the essential one lump or two Tor
equivalent teaspoonfuls) can fit. And
don't forget!
Dear Mrs. Post: What in the
world can one who is a newcomer
do in a town where the practice is
to writ --.-.rm~ >man' S
name-unless it accompanies the
name of her husband-as Mrs. Mary
Blank? I have noticed that they
do 1t in club listings and IN the
Red Cross, and in fact whenever
one asks the name Of a married
woman she answers Mrs. Mary -
and not Mrs. john.
Answer-A newcomer cannot set
herself up as a critic of any COM
munity's established custom. How
ever, she can give her own name
as she pleases and insist that Ter
own name Is Mrs. John and not Mrs.
Mary. II she finds that she is listed
as Mrs. Mary she can ask them
please to change 1t because it is not
the name by which she Is known.
In doing this she must be careful
to make 1t plain that she Is not
criticizing those who call themselves
Mrs. Mary, but merely that she likes
to keep the name she is used to.
But whatever she says she must
not forget there is nothing more
endangering to a newcomers popu-
larity than any attempt to alter
manners and customs as she finds
them.

Fewer Cosmetics Put
Spotlight on Lipstick

The spotlight's on your mouth!
You're wearing less makeup these
days, and your lipstick is your
badge of color. Check up on your
lipstick techniques, so the spotlight
won't pass you by!
Sharpen your stick as often as
it gets blunt. so you can always
make clean mouth outline. Save
the "peelings" and use them for
cream rouge. It's quick. thrifty, and
you're sure to match"
When you've drawn a clean out
line, fill it in with up-and- down
strokes of your stick-please don't
just swoop it back and forth! You
miss the tiny crevices in the lip
tissue, and your mouth looks like
spotty crepe paper. When the
color's on fight, let it set" minute
before you blot it on tissue-it
lasts twice as long.

Word of Advice
Upon Meeting
Young Babies
Don't P0unce' on
Them: Be Quiet
And RESERVED
By Leffice Lee Street,

Bv LefnCe Lee NrPPn
Bobby, like all little babies his
age, had only lately learned TO
recognize his own mother. The sight
and sound OF her made him wriggle
with pleasurable anticipation be-
cause he knew that she meant gen.
tleness and food and comfort and
all the things q young man needs
But like most babies his age, he
had become very suspicious Of
strangers. With his dawning con-
sciousness of others and objects
around him he had become used to
the colors, sounds, shapes and peo-
pie in his own world and any
startling newness frightened him.
A kindly word of advice to
strangers visiting young children
and babies is to ask them to be
quiet and inconspicuous when first
introduced. 1t is unseemly and bad
manners to make funny faces and
outlandish noises and to 90 into
extravagant ecstasies of cooling and
caressing. Such actions will be met
with a rebuff, just as they deserve.
Infants and little tots are very
cute and appealing. and after all,
they are humans, yet some grown
ups treat them like they were freaks
from Mars never before seen on
this planet. If one adult should
greet another with puffed out cheeks
and goggling eyes he would be re-
garded with suspicious horror and
given a wide berth the next time
the two met. Why shouldn't little
children, accustomed to normal. rea-
sonable people, react the same?
Most babies do not like to be
picked up by strangers. Some peo-
pie forget this, and so a mother
should feel no hesitation about tact
fully asking friends or members of
her family who have not met her
baby before to approach the in
FAINT quietly and not to try to lift
him. Any supersensitive soul who
takes offense at such request
should be allowed to stay mad till
he gets glad!"
Visitors who are considerate will
not kiss or fondle a baby. As a
matter Of fact no baby should ever
be kissed on the mouth. not even by
his mother. This habit is dangerous
as many diseases may gain access
to his body from the lips of an
other. A mother may satisfy her
very natural wish to express her
affection for her cherub by kissing
him on the back OF his neck, or the
top of his head.

l. my collar bones come to two
very noticeable points. What can I
do about it?"
Answer-This condition usually Is
seen in the underweight person. OF
course, If this Is true, a gain IN
weight will help. Then, too, a set OF
exercises designed to build up the
muscles of the neck and chest will
show improvement. Deep breathing
exercises are good also.
Do this exercise. Stand tall Bend
elbows and touch the finger tips to
the shoulders. Keep the fingers on
the shoulders as you contract the
chest muscles, pulling elbows toward
each other. At the same time
straighten the spine and pull back
with head.
2. II have very high. broad cheek
bones with hollow cheeks and laugh
lines. Is there any exercise or
cream which will help fill out my
face and remove these lines?"
Answer-I feel sure that facial ex-
ercises will help. Lift all of the
muscles of the face as though you
were shifting something. Hold while
you count 10. Relax. Slowly pull
the left corner of the mouth as far
as YOU can toward the left ear. Hold.
Relax. Do the same thing on the
right side pulling mouth toward
right ear. Never do facial exercises
without cold cream.
Makeup also will help. For
broad face put rouge in toward CEN
ter. Put rouge on sparingly on the
large face. Rouge lightly IN holloWs.

tect the color? F. R. E.
Answer am reliably informed

If the bowls were in daily use the

in them would keep the color bright,

Dear Miss Novel;: We have some
nice pieces of fiagstone which we
are planning to use for a garden
path. We want the grass to grow
up around them, so do not want
to lay them in concrete. How should
we do this? Also can you tell us
the best way of cutting them, as
some of them are too large? T. A.
Answer-The only rule for this
type of path is to be sure that the
stones have a solid foundation, so
that they will not dip or protrude.
Prepare a smooth. solid bed of sand
or dirt, lay your stones in place
and try level on them to be sure
they have an even surface. Then
fill in around them with some good
soil and plant your grass. To cut
them mark off a cutting line with
a chisel. Using hammer and
chisel, cut the mark deeper and
deeper along its full length. Do not
attempt to break it until the mark
is at least one-quarter inch deep,
then one or two sharp blows will
sever it cleanly along the line you
have indicated.

Keeping Lovely
Is Inspiration
To Others
Several Reasons
For This Effort
Are Explained
By Patricia Lindsay

Dv ar JtStn AspuSoJ
Beauty is not now a matter of
vanity. You are keeping beautiful
not for yourself alone, but for your
country, and for the men who are
away fighting to preserve a way of
living which allows women to be as
beautiful as possible as we'll as use
full.
Talk to any man either on the
home front or from the battle front
and he will tell you that he wants
his favorite woman to be beautiful
and to keep beautiful despite the
hardships of this conflict.
You yourself, If you are at all
patriotic, have burning desire to
look your loveliest, to keep fit. to be
useful. to be an inspiration to those
around you.
More than ever swank salons are
deluged with women who are re-
fashioning their figures and faces.
A beauty alert" seems to have
swept the country and Is probably
here for the duration.
To analyze the why" Of this
strange phenomenon (as one would
think that deprivation and separa-
ton from ones favored men would
depress womenD we discover several
reasons:
l. Every true American woman
wants to do her bit of war work.
While doing it she wants to look
we'll groomed and attractive.
2. Women know that beauty in
spires confidence. Children nave
less fear if their mothers look and
act alert.
8. With men fewer-feminine
competition Is greater.
4. Some women have shaken off
lethargies and entered new, more
active lives. Consequently they take
greater interest in their appearance.
S. Fighting men need inspiration.
If his woman back home" is lovely
greater is his desire to get the war
over quickly and VIGOROUSLY.
6. To be pleased with ones self
(satisfied with figure and face and
vardrobe) gives a woman greater
energy to tackle the problems which
face her daily
7. It is now considered smart and
patriotic to be sufficient. at
tractive, useful to ones community.
Duds find themselves out of step
with women who have always kept
In trim.
8. With ones social life sadly lin
tied because of restrictions and reg
ulations, many women have more

carefully SO that the berries will not
be stepped on, making a larger
stain. Then when they are through

Dear Miss Novel;: Can you tell
me what I can do to take care Of my
books? I have a heterogeneous IL
brary which includes about 200 fine
leather bound books. many contem-
porary novels and several stacks of
music which are kept in drawers.
The books on the lower shelves
are beginning to stick together and
the sheet music feels very damp.
What can be done to keep all OF
these in good condition?-K. L. c.
Answer-First of all, loosen all
the books so that they do not press
against each ether. On each shelf
take out several books so that the
air may circulate freely. If possible,
lift the books on the lower shelves
up out of the dampest area. You
may purchase a simple "air dryer"
which if placed on the lower shelves
will take up most of the moisture in
the room. Two of these ought to
keep the books safe Use dry, soft
silk cloth to keep your leather bind
ings polished. This Is also good for
the other books and If you will take
the time to rub them briskly once or
twice during the summer they will
not mildew. Air the sheet music oc-
casionally and 1t would be good
idea to sprinkle pyrethrum powder
