kinds OF leg makeup as long as
you know that it's not a good idea
to smear it on fuzzy legs or slap it
on so it streaks. We might mention
that you may never have heard Of
the trim, tailored cotton suit for
daytime wear, but when you recog-
nize the fact that frilly, lace
trimmed and too-tight fitting dresses
are out of place for ONCE wear,
you'll find yourself following fash
ion anyway.
Maybe no makeup expert has ever
romped over your face in an hour
long survey, but because you know
that heavy layer of cosmetics plus
a frizzy hair-do is definitely a label
of the uninformed. why you'll 60
ahead with your subtle makeup and
your chic coiffure-just because the
other extreme is something not
to do.
After all fashion is no orgy -. You
needn't follow every last trend, every
sudden inspiration of the boys and
girls who are recognized as the style
settlers. Fashion is, after all, mat
ter of common sense plus working
knowledge Of the popular trends of
the moment, adapted to suit your
needs. If you know what is bad
taste, what is wrong for your type,
what It's a smart idea NOT to do
then you're definitely on the right
track. Like in the first aid book.

Manners
of the
Moment

Those girls who stand for hours In
front OF a luke box, nickel in hand,
trying to decide on which record
to spend the nickel, are a trial
to other juke-box fans. They ward
of all corners by giving the impress
sion that they are about to start the
music again But 1t takes them so
long to make up their mind that
meanwhile, every one else usually
gives up the whole idea and goes
home.
There's only one cure. Shove them
aside and put In your own nickel.
Usually, the trouble with these
girls OF indecision Is that they are
afraid Of picking the tune they
really want for fear some one In the
crowd will think it . silly choice
And they can't, naturally, decide
easily between the tunes they don't
want.
II you are q juke-box dallier, my
dear, you'll have to train yourself
to do either one OF two things. Either
forget what the crowd Is going to
think, or else shut your eyes and
pick BY chance. JEAN.

Calling Married
Woman by Her
Given Name
People Persist in
This Although 1t
Is Not Correct
By Emily Post

The persistence with which some
people especially mem insist upon
calling married woman by her own
given name instead of her husband S
name. is much the same as the
persistence with which certain hos
tesses continue to serve themselves
first.
An example Of this name persis-
tence is given me as follows:
What can I do to correct the
printing of my name on the church
calendar as Mrs. Mary Blank in
stead of Mrs. John Blank? I am
the organist and I have asked
before every printing that I be
listed as Mrs. john but to no
avail. I am really upset over it"
The best suggestion I can make
is that you 60 to the printer and
give him one OF your visiting cards
reading Mrs. John Blank" and
tell him that is your name and the
way you want 1t printed. In other
words, If whoever writes the copy
can be made to understand that
you really MIND, he Will surely be
glad to print your name correctly.
Dear Mrs. Post: Does an engage
ment have to be announced in the
paper as soon as it is announced
to friends? In other words, I'd
like to tell all my friends and wear
my ring, but would like not to an
nounce 1t publicly until month or
so before we are to get married.
Answer-If 1t is customary In your
community to insert paid-for an
nouncements you may put one in
whenever you like. But If the news
is to be telephoned to the society

be much interested In printing

If lovers enjoy passing an evening
in telling each other these pretty
fairy tales, 1t would seem harmless
enough amusement, except for the
fact that it results 30 often In what
we are pleased to call the "disillu-
sion" of marriage. Men and women
take on life partners without the
slightest knowledge Of what sort Of
people they really are, or how they
win suit them, and when they find
that they are allergic to each other
they wall over the disappointments
of marriage and rush for the divorce
courts.
More divorces are caused by hus-
bands and wives having little ways"
that get on the others nerves than
by all the major and minor sins.
and 1t Is both sad and ironic to think
how many OF these tragedies could
have been prevented by a few we'll
directed questions during the days
of courtship.
But Romeo never asks Juliet what
are her reactions towards the kitch-
en-, yet the success OF his marriage

loving it as it does upon her loving

Precocious Tots
Great Worry
To Mothers
Ignore Tears They
Shed to AcQnire
Their Wants
Bv Leffice Lee Street,

Bv Leffice Lee Street,
The following answer Is in reply
to q letter from q mother who is
deeply grieved because her 3-year-
old daughter bursts into tears
whenever the mother or father tell
her to do the slightest thing.
To Mrs. F. L. R.: Thank you
very much for your letter and of
course I sympathize with you be-
cause it is definitely upsetting when
your little girl cries at the slightest
provocation. But I cannot believe
that others think you are cruel
to her. Public opinion is not the
consideration In this case. The
people you should think Of are your
self, your husband and your child
and let the others 60 hang!
It Is now high time for you to
be more arm with your little cry
baby. As you say, she is already
becoming spoiled.
She is obviously a very bright
miss and she has discovered that
when she cries she will not be
scolded or punished, she can get out
OF doing that which displeases her
she can wrangle q new toy or treat
by simply letting her big blue eyes
brim with tears and she Is taking
full advantage Of her power. You
cannot blame her. Wouldn't you
and I willingly weep all day and
all night If by merely doing 50 we
could have anything we wish?
Anything?
To my mind the best way for you
to deal with your smart little trick
is to start at once to unspoil hel
and the first step Is to be Just when
YOU do correct her and to ignore
the tears that follow. Simply &C
out of the room and leave her alone
But be sure not to weaken anc
do not ever give her that for which
she cries.
| She will soon discover that 1t L
no fun crying by herself, and vii
probably resort to q more violent
type of tantrum. If this occurs
treat her in exactly the same way
pose as being completely unim'
pressed by her temper display.
If you continue this long enough
land you will have considerable
commotion in the home for TIVE
or three weeks she will finally Civ
up and realize that her tears ane
screams gain her nothing, not ever
the love and petting to which sh
has been accustomed.
At the same time. Mrs. F. L. r
you must be sure to be very swee
to her when she is good, prais
her for every friendly and co
operative act, especially befor
others. Eventually this will teacl
her that she must earn her parents
love and praise by pleasing then
and that she must earn what sh'
wants by being a good girl.

us how to mend the tear and if
there is any way to remove the mil

Answer--The best way to mend the
tear is to apply one of the adhesive
patches which the department store
notion counters win furnish. Put the
tear together, lay the patch on the
under side and press with hot iron
according to the directions. This
will wear very well and not pull out
as any patch stitched in place might
do. I would hesitate to suggest a
