of Art, Pan American Building to
photograph authentically costumed
Latin American beauties, Dunbar
ton Oaks flower gardens, and the
Zoo.
Discussions are under way for
the Society to co-sponsor, with the
National Parks Service, the weekly
camera strolls which have drawn
Sunday crowds during the summer

with sightseeing caravans to scenic
spots of the Washington Virginia

Rabenhorst was the guiding light OF
the clubs early years and helped
work up interesting meeting pro-

hibited daily.

Things That
Interest Women
By Bessie F. Bell

Women can win or lose by a
neck; to have beauty wealth is to
be the proud possessor Of a lovely
neck that carries the head we'll
poised.
You are the loser by a neck if
your countenances are young, but
your neck has turned stringy or
acquired those little irrigation
lines Father Time is very meal in
this respect, with his nasty habit
of grabbing women by the neck.
To be fore warned is to be fore
armed. There is no point in sitting
idle to allow this william to catch
up with you.
Never economic with cold
cream. Use it lavishly. Be lavish
also with friction on the neck. This
is to force the soothing oils into
the flesh. The nightly massage is
an important part of the treat
ment, since it keeps the tiny fl
bres toned, hence a wealth of
beauty for a smooth throat.
Etiquette says: when accepting
an invitation to a dance a girl may
not invite a young man with whom
the hostess is not acquainted with
out first asking permission.
For best results in salad making
chill all utensils as we'll as the
ingredients.

Are CANDIDATES
TOO HONEST

Can political officerholders be
too honest and conscientious? This
is a question that must be an
swered by voters in the forthcom-
ing election. A candidate will
promise all sorts of things that
he will do before he is elected,
and nine times out of ten he
really means to do some of the
things that he said, before he is
in office.
It is doubtful if any ovter can
find among the major candidates
for the presidential nomination
n whose views are wholly ac-
ceptable. 1t need be pointed out,
however, that a presidential pri-
mary should not be conducted on
the principles OF a popularity
contest.
First in choosing your candidate,
be sure to find one that have
aradiate personality, who keeps
his audience we'll in hand, who
avoids, skillfully, any statement
that might be offensive, and not
the one that is blunt, fortnight,
and perhaps sometimes dogmatic.'
The voters will lido we'll to consid-
er carefully the publications of
each candidate.
