Washington Fashions
Hattie Carnegie Sets Pace for Our Summer Wardrobes;
June Styles and Junk Jewelry as Seen About Town

Easy, indeed, would be the life OF
a fashion reporter If all Washington
women looked the way The Dough-
girls" do. For the smartly costumed
heroines OF this weeks comedy at
the National are chic and we'll
groomed fashion plates-and that
in spite of the fact that the play
takes place during August in Wash
ington!
Hattie Carnegie, who designed the
clothes for Misses Hodges, O'Brien
and Brown (actresses-not a law
firm has turned out 4 number of
fashions that are not only good
looking, but which might we'll give
honest-to-gosh Washingtonians an
idea or two about their wardrobes
Primarily, Miss Carnegie stresses
suits for summer, with lots of color
used in interesting combinations.
Act l finds all three ladies in suits,
bright green linen with print
blouse, smart two-piecer in shades
Of blue and purple and a gray with
yellow blouse and the same yellow
repeated in the lining of the jacket
and in the belt. Both suits and
dresses which appear later have
front fullness, either in gathered
treatment or paneled effect. Best
looking dress is Miss Hodges black
and white summer print with low
V neckline. With it she wears a
jeWeled clip with what seems to be
q flare of fuchsia grosgrain ribbon
behind it.
Though it may be primarily a
matter of effectiveness behind the
footlights, fashion reporters thought
it significant that the designer put
no one but the 'villainess" in So
phisticated town black.
Washington women proved that
not all their well-dressed repre-
sentatives are behind the footlights,
however At the summer opening
of one Of the towns smartest dining
and dancing spots there was an
endless procession OF tastefully
groomed ladies, many of them, sur
prisingly enough, in evening clothes.
But long tailed" dresses were, for
the most part, worn by the very
young feminine contingent, the

TwoComplexion
Creams Used
In Summer
Br Patricia Lindsay

When hot days are the rule the
rule many women begin to neglect
the care of their skin. Cream, any
cream, seems to be hot and messy.
so the face is washed with soap and
water and left that way!
Some healthy skins, which are
young. can go through the summer
with simple good face washings and
rinsings. But most skins require a
little more pampering
For instance, the girl over 25 who
has dry skin should use at least
two cream aids during these months.
One is a good cleanser cream or
lotion consistency. the other is a
lubricator. The richer lubricator is
applied at night after the skin has
been thoroughly cleansed and it
softens and soothes and prevents
wrinkles from growing deeper. The
lighter lubricator may be one which
can be used for powder foundation
and also at night to soothe the dry
ckln. If your skin gets a great deal
OF sun you might be playing wise by
using cleanser. a liquid powder
foundation, and special skin cream
at night.
Certainly your beauty tomorrow
depends upon the care you give your
skin at the end of the day.
The girl with the oily skin which
can be SO bothersome during hot
weather, also needs two creams for
meticulous complexion grooming.
One is a cleanser and the other is
a stimulating cream.
Oily skin is a sluggish skin. 1t
might mean a sluggish body cir
culation or simply sluggish pore
work, Whichever it is, a stimulating
massage after a coed face washing
and before using chilled astringent
. and makeup base, is good thing.
Let me warn the oily-skin girl to
select an astringent lotion which is
not harsh. One can make an
astringent lotion by squeezing a bit
of lemon juice in bowl of ice water.
This is splashed into the cleaned
and stimulated skin before the DOW
der foundation or any makeup is
used.
Take the opportunity at hand to
get exercise in the open and sun
shine. Both are the grandest beau
tifiers you can get and both are
free. Exercise so you will sweat
freely which gives the pores a
thorough flushing and rids the COM
pleSion of many tiny blemishes. Sun
is a healer. the best healer you can
get. So treat your skin to 1t while

Early Ability

main and actually reproducing a bar
or Two of a popular tune that had
just been played over the radio.
Further. this keen-eared young
lady had been frequently observed
clapping her hands and stamping
her feet in time to music as she at
tempted to tWirl her chubby self
about in dance steps.
James mother otten discovered
her little daughter striking the pi-
ano keys and assuming the airs and
manners Of a pianist as she pre-
tended to play. She would place
her hands on the keyboard with in
teresting rhythmical repetition
yes, she obviously enjoyed the meas
ured beat of music.
The logical conclusion would seem
to be that Jane had exceptional mu-
Slcal ability and appreciation. and
that she would doubtless become a
musician. AS it turned out ,Jane is
now l6,, she is a graceful girl and
a good dancer. She has a sweet
speaking voice and sings in a low.
gentle voice. accurately but without
power. She has no outstanding mu-
sical ability and detests the hours
Of practice required for skill with
any musical instrument.
This is an excellent example of
the fact that special ability evil
denced by young children (particu-
larly between the ages Of 3 and s.

false alarm. One tot may love to
sing and dance, another can re-
member simple verses. another

seems To have an amazing aptitude
for arithmetic at an early age. But
As in the case Of Jane these early
manifestations do not have to mean
the child is highly talented or
genius.
Parents of children like Jane
should be on their guard lest they
overemphaslze this very young ex-
preston of preferences.
We are all looking for the best in
our children. eagerly We pounce
upon the smallest indication of tal-
ent, but in our zeal we must try
not 10 e&acgerate the situation and
name a child a genius who is in
truth only Of average ability. To
do so is i to commit a real wrong
against the child who is thus
doomed TO constant Illustration as
he strives to live up to an impos-
sible ideal The result is disastrous:
the child is dissatisfied and the
parent bitterly disappoin ed.
Special talents can but rarely be
regarded as certainties until chill
dren are about 10 years old. Ex-
perlenced dancing. music and art
teachers should be allowed to OBJ
serve the youngster for several
months before even they can give
fair prognosis of the degree of the
child's eventual ability. I am a
great believer in offering children
the advantages of lessons in dane
Ing, music, singing. painting or any
other artistic teaching that seems
to fit the particular individual But
the parent is wise who regards this
training as cultural. and does not

SCOT and Ashes Absorb Moisture Which May Rust Furnace
Best to Have Equipment Cleaned and Oiled in Summer

3 Dear Miss NOVEL;: Is there any
any reason why the coal furnace
should not be used in summer? We
formerly used ours to burn papers
and trash in warm weather, but a
friend states that unless we have
the furnace cleaned and keep it
! ventilated it will rust and deteri-
orate. AS I have never lived in a
camp climate such as Washington
before, I would appreciate your ad-
vice D. B. S.
Answer-Soot and ashes do alb
sorb moisture, which in turn tends
to rust and deteriorate CRATES and
chimney. Best advice here is to
have furnaces thoroughly cleaned,
remove all ash and SCOT, oil door
hinges and working parts and leave
door open for ventilation. presume
that If you burned your furnace
daily it would be kept dry enough

lifelong friend. I have been
widow ever since my son was

if you say it would be proper, I'd like

proper or in better taste than to
have him take you up the aisle and
give you in marriage.
Dear Mrs. Post: Our bridesmaids
dresses have Juliette type of hat to
go with them. and fine yelling Is at
tached to this in such a way that
yelling falls down over the face as
well as around the sides and back.
After we selected these, some one
told one Of the girls that we should
wear the wells thrown back to walk
up the aisle, and out again: that it
was not suitable for us to have our
faces covered. l can't see why then
that we didn't have the yelling
around the sides and back and let 1t
go at that. We don't believe this is
true what was said about having to
lift the yelling back off our faces.
Will you tell US?

way the milliner intended they
should be worn. But if YOU wear
them over the face, leave them like
that. The bride alone should put
back her veil at the end OF the
ceremony.
