Saturday Fete Is to Be Given by Girls’ Group

Miss Regina “#och is’ general chairman of a lawn fete to be given by Bethel No. 1, Jobs Daughters, Saturday night at Eugene and Clifton-sts.

A popularity contest, bingo and music by a string orchestra are to be included in the evening's entertainment. Committee chairmen include Miss Lavon Beaman, advertising; Juanita Caldwell, sandwiches; Joan Brown, fish pond; Mary Ellen Billiter, penny contest; June Billiter, ice cream and cake; Alva Jean Gordon, drinks, and Martha Jane ‘Anterson, candy. Mrs. Raford Elam and Mrs. Regina Koch are in charge of the popularity contest, and Mr. and Mrs. Fay A. Whisler, bingo.

ACCESSORIES ADD TO APPEARANCE

Noble succors to wilted humanity are frosty white and clear pastel accessories, cool to look at and to wear. Mimosa yellow appears in a gay pique buttoniere, snipped-out kidskin sandals and matching belt. Patriotic pick-ups for a white dress are red and white ’kerchief, white kidskin sandals trimmed with red and blue stripping and white gloves crocheted with red and white aots. . Languorous white chiffon evening gowns flash into life with jade green kid sandal-ghillies and enormous carved jade clips. .

couldn't break. In many cases this would be perfectly true. In some European countries the girl is expected to bring a dowry - to her marriage which her husband uses to help in getting a start without loss of his self-re-spect, but in America we expect th male to get ahead without help from his bride. What happens in your case will depend entirely on the young man’s attitude. From what you have told me I see nothing to warrant your fear, but I do not know for sure, of course. There is as much danger in being too cautious as in being {oo improvident. Did you ever hear of the Georgia cracker who didn’t plant any cotton because he was afraid of boll weevils, or potatoes because he was afraid of potato bugs, or corn because he was afraid it wouldn’t rain He just “played

safe” by planting nothing at all and consequently went hungry.

ARDS FOR MOURNING— ‘Mourning cards never should have a border of more than onefourth of an inch. “This mourning is used only by parents, widows and widowers, and not by other relatives. CHRISTMAS CARDS — When buying assorted cards to send to those who call you by your given name, you should sign them that way. Otherwise attach your full signatures, as: Mary and John Smith. : Formal greeting cards usually are engraved as follows: “Mr. and Mrs. Richard Benson wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.” Persons in mourning may, if so inclined, send Christmas and New Year’s greetings to their friends. However, Christmas cards are not expected from them, and need not be sent by them, merely for fear of being thought unfriendly.

"East returned a diamond and South won. He led a spade to the king, and learned that East held five trumps originally. The four was returned and the finesse taken, leaving East with the queen and seven of trumps. Now a small heart was won by dummy'’s jack, and the ten of diamonds led and trumped, the first step in shortening declarer’s trumps. Another heart was won by the queen and the diamond Jack trumped. Declarer now held two trumps, and the coup situation was created. He re-entered dummy with the heart ace, and when another diamond was led, East was forced to trump. South overtrumped and won the last trick with the ace. (Copyright, ‘1936, NEA Service, Inc.)

Miss Leona Berlin (right), home lighting supervisor, demonstrates a new indirect lamp to Miss Jean Spickelmier (left), and Miss Mabel Espey (center), home lighting adAfter their morning meeting it is their job and that of their co-workers to go out into Indianapolis homes and aid women in their home lighting problems.

For this reason they select cool clothes with an eye to their appropriateness for wear in the office and outside. White seems to be a favorite choice because it gives a cooler appearance for sultry weather wear, and although it requires laundering oftener, it meets their dress requirements of looking smart and trim, when topped with chic summer hats. : 2 2 ”® . ISS BERLIN wears a white tweedoray crepe tunic frock that has individualities of treatment that take it out of the ordinary run of every day things. Vari-colored buttons and loops run all the way down the side-front of the tunic and a brightly hued silk scarf ties trimly about the neck to make it more suitable for street wear.

Miss Spickelmier’s silk linen sailor dress is comfy, cool and chic wherever she goes on outside calls. The hat she dons, when her job calls for jumping into a car and rushing to the rescue of a customer, is white baku with sun-shading brim and a navy band to match the braid on her dress.

The “Fashion First” model oI white waflle crepes which Miss Espey wears makes a comely picture with its eton jacket and blouse of black silk crepe with glistening white stars. In clothes like these, you will find after a fresh facial makeup at the end of a warm working day that ‘you can go on to the club for cocktails and dinner with never a qualm that you look like~you had been overworked at the office.

Correct Posture

Exercise Advised by Beauty Expert

BY ALICIA HART Times Special Writer

“The easiest way for a woman to correct bad neck posture and a hol-low-chested condition is to balance a book on her head for ten minutes every day,” an exercise expert advised me. _ “To get the most benefit out of this simple posture exercise she ought: to remove her . shoes and stockings, place the book on her head, then walk slowly around a room. “There really is nothing complicated about the idea. If she is holding her head correctly, the book will stay in place. The minute she thrusts her chin forward or slumps, allowing her chest to cave in, the book will fall.” Remember, of course, that beautiful carriage is largely a matter of habit. Once you get used to the ideg of standing with weight on the balls of your feet, stomach pulled in, backbone straight and head erect, youll wonder how you ever managed to be comfortable in the days when you stooped, slumped and balanced yourself on your heels.

Sit Correctly

Never sit with shoulders {flat against the back of a chair. The lover end of your spinal column and the center of it—not your shoulders—should touch. When you walk, imagine that the crown of your head—not the front of it—is being pulled upward toward the sky. Don’t let your body ,settle down heavily and clumsily on your hip bones. Always do at least one posture exercise a day. Here is another old favorite that straightens out the backbone: Lie flat on the floor with arms at your sides and knees bent so weight of the legs is on balls of the feet. Pull your stomach in and elevate your chest. Now, without moving shoulders, make every vertebra of your spinal column, except the last four at the base, touch the floor. Turn these last four upward.

the floor and the middle of your back. Hold the position for 20 seconds. Relax and repeat. When you get up, try to stand as you were ly= ing. The center of the backbone must be straight. The lower end of it ought to be turned up and forward. .

Small wounds or cuts — the daily fate of the strenuous child—may also be dealt with at home with reasonable, safety, provided the mother is adept at antisepsis and guards against the dangefs of neglect. Indeed, we all know that the pare ent’s sensible judgment, plus expe rience, plus knowledge of the child's predisposition to certain general ailments must frequently answer in lieu of the physician. Symptoms of Serious llis

However, it does not hurt to remind ourselves that there must be a limit to the salety zone; that serious and expensive illness can often be minimized by early professional attention; or that a major disease diagnosed in its early stages before it has made dangerous way, loses much of its power. How, then, is the mother to know when to send for the doctor? A few suggestions may help. First of all, fever. One can not tell by feeling head or hands, so a clinical thermometer shquld be part of the first-aid equi nt. Don't be afraid of it.

The real “fatigue” child, so-called, is the physie cian’s problem. Difficulty in breathing may be an asthmatic condition. Persistent skin eruptions or eczema, may be duz to allergies, or certain foods the child is sensitive to. Hives or headache, if chronic, may be caused by the same things. Such things are use uall~ beyond home guess-work. May Save Life Local infections such as bad tonsils, or adenoids will undermine health. At any rate, advice should be welcomed. All severe cuts, burns, scalds, dogbites, and of course sprains, should have quick and professional attene tion. ’ . Ear ache or inflamed eyes, well, they speak for themselves. I should not take a chance on either. This is hoping that none of these things will happen, and that most of you, dear mothers, will never need a doctor in the house. But a penny saved is a penny earned. And a disease caught early is not only dollars,

but perhaps life iiself, saved. (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)
