On Thursday it will be the Fourth
Of July once again-the first peace
time one in such q long time! And
families will trek all over the coun-

have family reunions, to just &c

If you prefer, instead of the cher

American flag upright in the middle
or use enough little flags so that
one will be in the center of each
piece as the cake is cut. Figurines

WhyGrow
Old?
BY Josephine Lo,cman

We all dream of the postwar
wonder world we have heard SO
much about We look forward to
the time when every yard will have
an airplane, when plastic will create
miracles of beauty and convenience,
and when we will shop for groceries
only II times year and can
order a six-course dinner, with
famous delicacies, flown in from
various parts of the country. But
who ever thought of sun-tan To-
ton which repels insects but def
nitely attracts men? Well, it is now
available!
In addition to protecting the skin
from blistering and drying when
out in the sun. this liquid sends ants
and flies scooting from your terri
tory and takes the whine out of
mosquitoes. In other words, you can
enjoy your outdoor life, sans insects.
I feel that it is the business Of
why Grow Old?" to report to you
periodically some of the truly revo-
lutionary ideas which appear. There
are now oils which disappear into the
skin and make it possible to keep a
soft complexion without greasing up
your pillow. There are shampoos
without soap and mascara that is
water proof against barrels of tears.
False eyelashes, false finger nails
and wired brassieres, are with us. So
are non-perspirants which will ir-
ritate neither you nor your clothing.
We now have hormone creams, and
from personal experimentation I
feel that they definitely help in
keeping the skin youthful.
There are makeup bases for dry
skins and for oily ones, for blonds
and for brunetS, and for summer
and winter. There are leg lotions
which are water resistant SO you
will not look as though afflicted with
some new strange disease every time
you are caught in summer shower.
There also are exercises which can
build you up or tear you down
whichever you wish, and just about
wherever you wish
The reducing diet has become a
vitalizing process rather than a
wearying one. We know so much
more now about how to eat for lon
gevity and prolonged youth and
greatest vitality.
Truly the opportunities and ar
ticles now available to women in
their fight against years and de-
terioration are SO great and varied
that the wonder of the postwar
world will bean unattractive lady!
1t is all here for you and if you do
not come and get it, blame yourself

ing who does not possess some
popularity Of person. or character,
or habit, or who has not done some
foolish thing that can be made to
turn him into figure of fun by
any one heartless enough to do it.
The kidder has a cruel streak in
him that makes him delight in see
ing other people hurt and humil-
lated. Also, he is coward because
under the guise of being funny he
hides the insults that he has not
the courage to offer to people S
faces. Let man have some physi-
cal defect and he taunts him with
it. Let girl be homely and have
few dates and he flaunts her mis-
fortune in her face Let there be
some stain on the family name and
he tears open the grave to drag out
the secret.
No man Is so universally hated
as the kidder, and if he thinks that
he is making hit with women by
making fun of them he has another
guess coming. Few women have a
sense of humor and it fails entirely
when the laugh is turned on them
Every one who knows a kidder has
just one desire in life. and that is
to see him get gay with some man
who lacks a funnybone, but who
has a good right-hand wallop.

THERE IS A FAIR LAND"
from Mrs. A. A. H., Washington J
In reply to S. S., Seat Pleasant,
Md, who wanted to know of a mild
climate to settle down in" First,
reserve some place right here to
which you could return after the
novelty wears off because we need
to learn that climate is not every
thing and we all grow to love the
seasons more than we realize until
we find ourselves without them.

Emily Posts
Etiquette

A reader tells me she could not
understand my answer to the ques-
ton OF whether a corsage should be
worn with stems up or down. I am
not surprised because a misprint
made the direction ambiguous.
Therefore, the following is given in
correction:
Stems down is preferable unless
the flowers are top-heavy and can
not be arranged otherwise than
hanging heads down. Usually, of
course, the florists design indicates
how each individual bouquet is in
tended to be worn. Your own pref
erence or that of the florist is the
deciding opinion.
Dear Mrs. Post: Please give the
correct answer to the much dis
cussed problem: "Is it correct, after
cutting food, to eat with the fork
held prongs down and still in the
left hand, or is it correct to change
the fork over to the right hand,
using it prongs up?
Answer: The cosmopolitan (there-
fore best) practice is to lift food
with fork in left hand. Exchanging
the fork from left hand to right and
right hand to left with each slut
tering mouthful is colloquial Amer
ican.
Dear Mrs. Post: Cd How long
should a widow wait before accept
ing the attentions of another man?
CD Also, how long after letting it
be known that they are thinking
of marriage should they wait to be
married?
Answer: Cd Six months is about
the shortest period. CD To wait a
year is best. There are, however,
many exceptional circumstances
which may shorten Cor, in other
cases, lengthen) the propriety of
these periods.

man living at home with my parents,

write invitations on my personal
cards? The problem is that my

Answer: This is quite all right.
1t is taken for granted by those who
receive your invitation that the
house is turned over to you for that
particular time. This does not mean
that your parents may not be pres
ent, but merely that you will be the
host.

ANOTHER VIEWPOINT!

From Mrs. F. M, Bethesda, Md
I doubt if this letter ever sees the
light of print, but 1 must write it
and get certain views, ideas and
opinions out of my system or I
shall break out into some sort of
rash.
I am sick and tired of the whim-
pering, whining, martyred lucubra-
tions of certain contributors to this
page. I mean the women who ap-
pear to believe that they have the
hard end of everything, with the
implication that their husbands
are frolicking about luxurious Of
flee or factory or whatnot. carefree
and jaunty, returning home at
night, fresh, cool and unruff1ed after
a simply lovely day, to find their
poor weary, overworked and under
paid spouses all worn out and fit
to drop.
In the name of Allah, don't these
females know that their husbands
have heck of time scratching
for a living, feeling the full weight
of their responsibilities and many
morning wishing with all their
hearts that they could stay home or
go fishing or something, anything
but the same old grind? And don't
they, the same females. realize
when they whine about their not
getting salary like an Office work
er that even if they, the wives, fall
sick or lie down on their jobs they
are still protected, legally, from
want, and that in very many cases
the husbands are burdening them
selves to pay heavy insurance pre-
miums. so that the little martyr
at home may not 60 hungry if her
spouse kicks off from high blood
pressure brought on by overwork
and worry?
I wish some of the males who
read this page would take pen in
hand and let us hear little from
them about sloppy wives and untidy
homes, and spoiled, over-indulged
bratS. 1t would be tonic to get
something of the other side of the
picture. I have been happily mar
ried for % years to the very best
man in all the world, and in COM
pairing his lot and mine I can hon
estly and frankly say that I have
all the best of it, and the best I
can do for him is not even equal to
his deserts.
BUDGET ESTIMATE?
From Mrs. C. H. G., Arlington)
Would like to know how much a
family of two adults and one IA
month-old baby should spend on
food in week.
CONSTRUCTIVE SUGGESTION.
From Mrs. w. O., Berkeley, CaHt.)
Regarding this problem of helping
those busy mothers who do not pos
sess the necessary means of con-
stantly paying for household help.
I would suggest that the city.
the county or the State establish a
regular department for household
help" where women would receive
a regular, adequate salary for 8
hours of work to be done in homes
of the poor as well as the rich.
Part of these wages should be paid
by the benefited according to wages
or income of the family and the bal
ance by the city, county or State.
