Women Monogamous |

of the Customs of Society in Which They Live, Jane Says Tells Girl Who Asks Why She Is Attracted to

Other Men When She Loves Only One Not to Worry.

Jane Jordan will help you with your problems by her answers to

EAR JANE finest young man in the

= » = ” - JORDAN—I am really in love with the

world. They say that love is

blind, but I’ve known him for years and years and he is

still just about perfection.

and I want to be the perfect wife.

We will be married some day In spite of the fact that I know

there is no other man for me, I look upon all fairly personable young

men with a very appraising and

predatory eye. Why do I do this?

Does it mean that I will be unfaithful to him after

marriage? Or on my part?

will marriage stop this foolishness A. O.

ANSWER—There is a sentimental superstition very dear to the human heart that a good woman is a monogamous creature with eyes for no one except her mate. Men of high scientific standing have contended that women are monogamous by nature although none dispute the polygamous na-

ture of man.

If a woman is monogamous it is because of the prevailing customs of the society in which she

Jane Jordan nature.

lives and not because of anything inherent in her

This does not mean that women have any special yen for polygamy as opposed to monogamy but simply that they tend to accept

the mores of the group in which

they live. This is what you must

do if you hope for a successful life with your husband. Almost any woman who is alive at all finds that there are times when other men

attract her.

She enjoys the feeling of power which a new conquest

gives her.and she regards any personable male as fair game. There is no reason for you to doubt your own integrity or your love for your husband-to-be because your fancy is taken by others at

times. you in line.

A common sense view of the situation is all you need to keep

When you find a relationship which is worth guarding, as you seem to have done, you simply ignore the possibility of other relationships

which might prove just as interesting.

If the man is worth it, it

shouldn't be much trouble to laugh off your own variability.

Like many of the new knits seen this season, it looks like a woven fabric of tweedlike mixture. Four flap pockets, a diagonally striped belt and bow ties serve as the only trimmings, yet its lines and yarn interest combine to give a chic appearance, ” 2 2 NOLLEGE girls adore this type of A frock. The sleeves are smooth fitting under fur coats and sports jackets, and its straight lines are becoming to any type of co-ed. Then, too, it is a get-away from the uniform of sweater and skirt, but a close enough relative to find winning favor among knit enthusiasts. Team a dress like this with smart accessories and you’ll find it an important spoke in the wardrobe for afternoon bridge and shopping sprees, if you are a woman on your own time. Knitted clothes of all styles are in the foreground again for allpurpose wear and are bound. to be good all winter long.

Few Simple Rules Recommended as Cure for Oily Skin

BY ALICIA HART NEA Service Writer The woman with oily skin should wash her face with soap and water three times a day, apply an astringent lotion at night. and take freguent sunbaths. In addition, unless - her - doctor advises otherwise, she ought to eat sparingly of fatty foods and rich pastries." Your diet has more to do with the condition of your skin than most women seem to realize. If your pores secrete too much. oil, eliminate heavy desserts: and fried food for one month, substituting fresh vegetables, green salads and fruit or vegetable juice in their place and, at the end of the 30 days, notice the improvement in .your skin.

See that ‘your. cleansings . are thorough. Wash with -seap and water and a complexion brush at night, with soap and water and a

rough wash cloth in the morning

and at noon. After the night cleansing, pat on an astringent lotion, If you must use a powder base, pick one of the greaseless liquid varieties. Or, if you like, use a face powder liquid instead of foundation and powder.

Masks are especially beneficial to cily skins. There are several prepared types on the market, \ of course. If you are. a ‘busy: person, look for one that does its work in five or ten minutes. If your budget is limited, you can find ingredients for excellent masks right on your medicine shelf.

For instance, cucumber -masks oftén are recommended for -oily skins. . You simply peel a cucumber, leave the strips of oufer skin in a small bowl of water overnight, then, next day, after. you have washed with soap and water place them on face and throat. Cover with ‘a piece of gauze that has been soaked in the cucumber juice and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse off with ice water before you put on Museum Guild to Meet . Mrs. John Heidt Jr., 3121 N. Penn-sylvania-st, is to be hostess for the Children’s Museum Guild meeting at 2:30 p. m. tomorrow.

Dog Cemetery Is ‘Famous ~~ Spot for Visitors in - London.

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON _. LONDON, Nov. 9.—When one is about to go over Niagara in & barrel, or into his first bull fight, he probably leaves a lot of sealed letters, a will and his affairs in order. Se : : In twelve hours I shall be flying 200 miles to Paris. My affairs are not in order. And this is: my final touch to paper... If my column suddenly ‘ceases, adieu dear friends. But I have no idea that I shall be dumped into the English Channel, or I would not go. Flying is such an every-day matter over here, that one can not. even feel heroic. Once before, at home, when I flew the same distance, my friends and relatives were so attentive for two days before, I felt as though I were already lost. Today I went to the dog cemetery in Hyde Park. Some of the tiny stones are over a hundred years old. Pathetic, the little last messages of their owners. There are Gyp, and Curly, Daisy and Peter; Bessie and Dan Rascal, and Rex and Trip. The whole plot could easily be covered by two

small houses. Yet it is one of the most famous spots in London.

Henry's Storybook House

Out to Hampton. Court to see the famous castle. Old Henry - the Eighth, who seemed to have a finger in every historical pie over here, lived there. He lived so many places, old Henry did. But he would have a time trying to live all over this one. Imagine a house with a thousand or more chimneys, all beauties, with the same number of battlements and other roofly embellishments thrown in. Yet it is breath taking in its grandeur. It is really quite simple, architecturally, in spite of the lacy effect of its skyline. Two stories high, brick with stone trimmings the usual moat, and gardens that I am sure could not be real. They belong in a book.

Then we drove: through a deer park and saw some deer. That is unusual. Right in front of this hotel is the site of Old Tyburn Tree. Thousands of ghosts must haunt the spot, because this was, for 600 years, the place of all the hangings. Tyburn was the place. Tyburn Tree was the gallows. The “tree” stood here for more than two hundred years.

A Look at Rosetta Stone

Out at the British- Museum, I saw the Rosetta Stone, famous be-: cause it unlocked the past, as it is inscribed in three ancient languages. Through it, archaeologists were able to. connect and "translate lost languages. I thought it was round. It is not. It looks like a piece of blackboard slate, irregular around the edge. the most important document in all history. Just walked up to it and there it was. That is the way with great. things. So simple, after all. Then there was a .ride through Richmond Farm. It is like an enormous farm. Miles and miles of grassy fields and enormous trees such as I have never seen. People walking and riding horses on the grass. No paths. (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)

Etiquette : , By PATRICIA :

WEDDING ATTENDANTS — Bridesmaids are selected from among the bride’s closest friends. It it customary to have one sister of the bride and one of the bridegroom, when ° possible, included among the bridesmaids.” For the maid or matron of honor, the bride generally selects an older sister or an intimate friend. In choosing the bridesmaids’ gowns, colors and: styles uld be suitable to those who will wear them. A thoughtful bride will consider carefully the question of expense, and not select a costly costume which the attendants may not be -able to:afford. The gowns may be ‘the same color,” with lighter or darker accessories, and the maid of honor’s gown may match the shade of ‘the accessories. Several -pastel colors may be combined, the first pair. of bridesmaids wearing the lightest shade, and the succeeding pairs deepening this by well-bal-anced graduations. ; F - It is important that all details of the costumes' be alike: the shoes, if dyed to match the dresses ‘should together, the stockings should all be bought at the same time, to present a pleasantly uniform effect for the bridal party.

ing side often is a two-edged sword, quite as likely: to injure friend as foe. However, even though this is so, overcalls still must be made, but perhaps on slightly better material than West held in todays hand. It was played by Walter S. Buswell' of East Orange, N. J, in a recent state championship event conducted by the New Jersey Bridge League. Opening lead of the two of diamonds was, of course, a marked singleton. It. was probable, also, that East held a singleton club, because he had rescued his partner’s overcall. : The ace in dummy won the. first trick, for to concede a trick to

Five odd was made, the valuable overtrick giving declarer a top score. (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)

ives Recipes for Corn Puff and Pudding

Vegetable Is ‘Natural’ on American Table, Writer Says.

By NEA Service Canned corn, together with canned tomatoes, is a “natural” on the typical American table. You will have to pay a little more for your corn this winter on account of the drought. But if your grocer puts too fancy a price on his canned corn, remind him that the government figures show that the effect of the drought: should have beea partially offset by a larger carryover of canned corn than at this time last year.

Southern Corn Puff

Southern Corm Puff is a come plete luncheon dish in itself. This recipe will serve six adequately. Ingredients: 3 eggs, 1 pint canned corn, 1 teaspoon salt, 1-8 teaspoon pepper, 1 slice buttered bread. Beat yolks of eggs, add corn, salt and pepper. Beat whites of eggs until they stand in peaks. That is important—beat until they are so dry and stiff that they form little white Alps in the bowl. Then fold the egg whites into the corn mix ture. Use a one-quart casserole, Grease it, and turn in the mixture, Trim crusts from bread, cut in strips and lay them butter side up across top of dish. Bake for 40 minutes in moderately slow oven, Serve the moment the puff is done. A salad of lettuce hearts, shredded and green pepper and pimento, with a French dressing, will complete the excellence of this luncheon.

Corn Pudding

Corn pudding is a dinner dish and broiled steak loves to be seen in its company. For four servings, 1 cup canned corn, 2 green pepper, chopped fine, % cup milk, 1 egg, 1-4 teaspoon paprika, salt and pepper to taste. Grease a round baking dish ang dust the bottom very lightly with flour. Beat the egg until fluffy, then add the milk and beat again. Mix corn and egg and milk, add chopped peppers and seasoning. Turn quickly into greased dish, bake in moderate oven for 30 minutes, This is not a souffle, and the con sistency will be rather firm, like that of a pudding. If you want a fluffier corn dish, use 2 more eggs, and beat the yolks and whites separately, adding the whites at the last minute.
