electric fan is to Washington sum-
mer what punkah is to a Kipling
story.
Set this fan on the floor, unless
there are dogs. cats or small children
about. You may catch your skirts in
it occasionally-but the fan is worth
the price. Put 1t then, on the floor,
near window or two windows. so
that it catches any possible cross
draft, and makes the most of it.
You may even have to sleep with the
fan turned on, too. It's better than
smothering to death.

If possible, don't tie your head up

already that they should be put

Evening star., 1943-06-07

When the alarm goes off-you
probably won't need it as you can't
sleep anyway-take a cool tub or
shower, and while your body is still
damp, apply your makeup. In this
way, you'll get at least one layer
on your face before you begin per-
spring again. Use colognes rather
than powder on your body-powder
tends to cake and feel 'smothery" in
this climate.
Wear as few clothes as you think
YOU can get away with. Paint your
legs instead of wearing stockings,
wear little soles of rayon or cotton to
protect your feet. and use lots and
lots of foot powder in your shoes,
Cotton or slippery" silk dresses feel
coolest and are really better than
sheers. because you have to wear
such heavy slips under sheers. The
less jewelry the better-it only
makes you hotter.

very uncomfortable Move as slowly
as YOU can-except when the boss

and choose fruit salads and a fruit
drink for lunch. Freshen up your
face once or twice during the day
with good aStringent cleanser and
new makeup-the time you take to
do 1t will be more than recompensed
by your sprightlier feeling and in
creased efficiency.
If you're going out in the evening

makeup before towelling. as before

Washington's cold water in summer
Is always lukewarm. Dress as slowly

A few other tips. if you can man

Hostess inquiries
About Passing
The Coffee
Bv Emily Post

A nostaleic reminder of the days
before coffee rationine is this let
ter: when passing tray with
after dinner coffee does the wait
ress go first to the hostess and after
that to each lady present and then
to the gentlemen?"
In answering this let me give
the rule that applies not merely to
coffee, but to every item that may
be passed: The waitress should never
go first to the hostess when other
ladies are present-unless something
is wrong with the food (or the bev-
erage) and the hostess is asked to
decide whether 1t may be served
or returned to the kitchen. When
not awkward to do SO. ladies should
be served hrst thostess last and
then the gentlemen but when peo-
pile are seated in such way that
it would mean extra crossings OF the
room to avoid serving gentlemen
before all ladies, it is better to prof
fer the tray to the gentlemen as
we'll as ladies in each group rather
than to retrace her steps and come
back to the gentlemen. In other
words, she serves as many ladies
first as she can, and then when
gentlemen are in the direct line Of
her advance she serves them, just
As she would were they seated at
table.

Shorter Sleeves
Require Arm
Grooming
By Patricia Lindsay
GROUND COVER

Short sleeves. even very short
sleeves, are the fashion this summer
particularly for evening wear. The
new street-length dinner dress
which has become a wartime vogue
boasts only a shoulder cap, or a
very brief sleeve Thus arm groom
ing takes on new Importance, If you
want to look lovely on those special
dress-up dates.
1t is very simple to remove super
huous hair from the arm with either
wax. cream or paste depilatory
Full directions come with each prod
uct and if you follow them to the
letter you are likely not to have any
difficulty at all. OF course, If the
arm hair is very fair, or of so sparse
a growth that it is hardly noticeable,
then there is no need to remove it.
But If the arm hair is dark, or a
fuzzy growth, then depilatory is
needed.
Unless unlovely hair is removed
from the arm proper, and from be-
meath the arm at the pit, no girl
should wear gowns which reveal this
skin area. They can resort to longer
sleeved tailored dinner gowns and
long -sleeved daytime gowns
Unless a girl has an abnormal
growth Of superf1uous hair she
should not begin to use depilatory
on her arms until she is over 2l.
For once you begin. there is no
stopping, the hair must be removed
when it grows back in.
Many girls and women success
fully bleach and weaken arm hair
and then there Is no need for a de-
pilatory. But one must Re sure
that ones skin is not sensitive to a
strong bleach before bleaching is
attempted.
Dreaming the arms every night
will keep them smooth. Every morn
ing after ones bath the elbows
should be creamed for the day.
Many women who wear short sleeves
constantly use liquid powder
foundation on their arms both day
and evening. and this keeps them
very smooth looking.
If one can acquire a smooth sun
tan on the full length of the arm
that Is happy solution for making
the arm more beautiful during the
summer months. But the sun tan
should run the full length of the
arm and not stop where short
sleeve begins! Many of the sun
creams are rich enough to use for
summer fabrication for daytime -
and they protect from sunburn to

OF course, all the skin is removed
from the fish so that it is entirely

should be as few and as inconspicu-

The accompanying dish, which Is
entirely correct, is a sliced cucumber

they cannot eat cucumbers But
for such provide a mixed green
vegetable salad or potato salad.
