Where Men Are Known :

A LMOST any sailorman can show
- a tattooed design of some kind
on his skin, but the embroi-
dered epidermis on the bodies of the
Negroes of Equatorial Africa is some
thing of novelty.
Tribal marks in the form of skin
enclosing are the favorite ornamen-
tation among many of the Central
African tribes inhabiting the country
along the Congo River.
This singular form Of tattooing is
not sunk into the flesh, but the skin
is drawn up over IT, and the healing
retarded artificially so as To produce
highly raised scars. To bring out the
effect some natives slip small pebbles
or pinches of earth under the skin.
While the process is extremely painful,

design which resembles mountain

Is because industrial diamonds

pense Of mining them is covered
almost entirely by the sale Of
gem stones. Thus the sale of
engagement rings and other dia-
mond jewelry makes it possible
for American industry to acquire
industrial diamonds at far less
cost than would be otherwise pos
sible, a fact well worth remem-
bering when we hear people con-

How Gems Are Helping to Win the War

Precious stones, long the priced
adornment of women everywhere,
are playing a little known but
vitality important role in the war
effort. For example. over 1000
jewels-sapphires and rubies-are
used as bearings in the electrical
devices of a modern battleships
engine room. A big United States
bomber has more than 100 jewels
in its instrument panel; still
others are in It's bombsight.
Famed throughout the world for
their beauty and fire power" sap
phires, rubies and diamonds are
thus-quite appropriately-help-

from South Africa; glamorous

portant source of a good many
stones - emeralds, turquoise,

are coming in quite freely-some

Looking Forward Into Summertime
Capitals Humidity Call for Suitable Costumes

In this particular town, when
the car pool leaves its starting
point in the morning, members
are likely to want the converti-
ble's top down. But by the time
they're halfway to work, two Of
the passengers will have ice
hanging from their hat brims
and the rest will want the heater
turned on.
Now, this particularly tickle
climate has been discovered by
the natives (any one who has
lived here more than six months)
and they have been known to pre-
pare for it by wearing cotton suits
and carrying foot warmers. But
for the benefit Of newcomers who
plan to buy spring wardrobes
and who may wonder about the
type of clothes to select, here are
some tips on choosing a wardrobe
to suit the weather.
In the first and most important
place, springtime in the accepted
sense of the word is a practically
negligible matter here. Just
when you're shivering over your
last cup Of fuel oil the weather
will turn tropical and you'll begin
to look for those salt tablets you
used last summer. So, the basic
idea In buying spring clothes is to
invest in suits and coats which
will fit into your fall wardrobe
fall being a slightly more sensible
season.
Buy your suits and coats with
the idea of getting your moneys
worth in September and October.
This means that you1l want
something not too high style lest
1t be completely out of fashion by
autumn. Try to choose acces-
sories that will be good through
out the summer. Cotton blouses,
straw or bright colored fabric

be out in full force before very
long and it's an adaptable spring
fabric, particularly in the darker
tones. It's also 4 cool fabric
that will take you right through
the summer.
In buying spring suit Access
sories you'll be wise to choose
blouses and sweaters instead of
dickeys-though you might have
= few of the latter for occasions
when you don't want to remove
your suit jacket. If you're PLAN
ming for an ONCE, however, do
select blouses that are crisp and
fresh looking when you take of
your coat, for you may leave
home feeling slightly chilly in
your suit, only to have it become
unbearably warm by noon.
You can follow this same
spring Into summer theme In
such things Is lingerie and lew
elry. Cotton slips are really won
derful, and If you're in the mar
ket for new slips from now on,
these are wise choice. Flower
like jewelry that's perfect now
will also adapt itself to your sum-
mer dresses, and the lightweight
plastic earrings, lapel pins and
bracelets are both charming and
inexpensive.
Remember. that Washington is
very much q Southern" town In
summer. So, buy your suits and
coats with an eye to the fall;
choose your blouses, hats, shoes
and other accessories with the
definite promise that they will be
good throughout the long months
of hot weather.

Etiquette in
Wartime
Bv Emily Post

The following letter from the
mother of a ewly-engaged girl
is merely one of the wedding
problems of the present wartime
situation: How essential do you
think it is-not merely to eti-
quette, but to future happiness
for a mans parents to meet and
approve of his future wife before
they marry? My daughter would
like to become engaged and ac-
cept the ring of young man in
camp. His family lives a great
distance from here and there
has never been any opportunity
for the families to meet When
he told them he wanted to be-
come engaged his mother tried
to dissuade him until his return
after the war. But he doesn't
want to wait. My daughter thinks
this is getting off to a bad start
and the young man argues that
she is marrying him. and not
them, and that he is past 81 and
can do as he pleases."
These questions are always
very hard for one who does
not know any of the details. to
answer. 1t is certainly happier
for all concerned when the mans
parents know and approve of the
girl he wishes to marry. Or are
at least willing to rely on his
choice. have no way Of guessing
their point of view. It may be
that his love for your daughter is
to them news from the blue,
which they can only understand
as sudden impulse to him. Per-
haps longer Or more fully written
letters from him to his mother
may convince her that his happi-
ness is really in the hands of
your daughter and that she will
give her consent-and her well
come. At least, I hope so.
