WOMEN’S FEATURES., Pertinent Observations on the Varied Interests of Washington Women Living Room Should Express Hospitality and Charm Exactly Right Articles Available for Home of Young Wedding Bells, Now Prospective Brides and Bridegrooms, Inspire Hunt for House Charm. BY BETSY CASWELL. UST now, when wedding bells are ringing in the heads of so many prospective brides and bridegrooms, there is, naturally, added activity in Washington furniture stores. I get a bit wistful when I think sbout it—going out and buying all brand-new things, bright and shiny, just what you want, to suit your home. You can make each room a dream come true, without having to mar its beauty and har- mony by Aunt Ella’s whatnot, or that old sofa that doesn't match anything else, but has to stay be cause it costs too much to recover. You lucky ones can start from scratch and pick and choose exactly, the right things. You may, of course, get some atrocities in your wedding presents. but the number of these may be greatly reduced if you tell your - ® Betsy Caswell {riends just what you are planning | for vour various rooms and suggest something that will actually help the furnishing of them. I find that most people like to be given an idea of what others want for a wedding gift, and am sure that you will meet with uni- versal approval of this plan. %o o THE shops here in town are full of lovely odd pieces, and also many of them have model rooms complete in every detail. There you may get a real idea of how your finished room will look, and also get the total cost | to figure on. There are several things to remem- ber, however, when purchasing rooms- ful of furniture. In the first place, you are buying something that you hope will last you for many years. There- fore, you have two points to watch— durability of construction and sim- | plicity of line. Styles change in furni- | ture, as you know, and a too dated type would look as unfashionable in & few years as this year's frock. There are general classifications for furniture, any one of which will be good for years—if the individual pieces are not too “faddy” and ultra- period. For instance, furniture grouped under the heading of “mod- ern” includes types unequaled for beauty and purity of line, as well as the most hideous futuristic exaggera- tions. % ok FIND nearly everywhere an in- creasing tendency in the shops toward good taste and corservatism. The buyers are all helping the cus- tomers in choosing the better things | by presenting less low-grade stuff for display. Beautifully designed things are within the reach of practically every purse, now—perhaps the ma- terials are not quite so rich, and the wood may be veneered and not hand pegged, as is the case with the Beauty in the Forties Days Which May in Woman’s Life.

The suite in the accompanying photograph is both practical and beautiful. The wood is solid maple, all hand pegged—each piece is an au- thentic reproduction of an old New England model. The covering of the seats and cushions is a coarse, linen- like material, in shades of tan, beige and a warm rust. The curtains and other coverings repeat the same tones in different ways and the woven sisal rug is & blending of these colors. This kind of room is particularly good for a young, rather outdoor- minded couple, who like to entertain. The wood and the materials will |all stand a lot of punishment and are easy for the young housekeeper to keep looking well, because of the blended colors and simplicity of con= struction. The room has a welcom- ing air that is really very charming, and every detail is in good taste.

Comfort and simplicty are splendid foundations on which to build a living room that one will never tire of. After you have laid such a foundation, don’t spoil it by a clutter of useless acces- sories. Fancy ash trays, grotesque doorstops, frilly waste baskets, or too fancy lamp shades can completely ruin the effect. Keep all the litile things as simple as the main pieces of furni- ture, and your room will be in a lovely harmony. Be ruthless about eliminat- ing things that you think are not “just right"—even if they have been in the | family for years, or have been donated | by a misguided relative.

When I squeeze them, the little holes look kind of black. I use soap and water every day. CONSTANT READER. Answer—You might wear bangs. Have the part come well above the bald spot so that when the bangs are combed down they will cover it. (2) | Before removing the blackheads, lather your nose well with warm water and | soap, rinse well. Do not squeeze the blemishes, but use a blackhead re- mover, an inexpensive little instru- ment sold for this purpose. After | gently pressing out the blackheads, lather the skin again, then rinse well in warm water. Bathe your nose in cold water for several minutes after- ward. Wash your face with soap and water twice a day, always finishing with a cold rinse. Remove a few of the blackheads every day. LOIS LEEDS. Goose Pimples. Miss D.

Star Staff Photo. Courtesy the Hecht Company. Shows New Silhouette Refreshingly Smart Little Frock for Summer Wardrobe. BY EDITH M. BARBER. | M ¥ _DEAR Miss Barber—Will you please settle an argument for us? Is fole gras made only from goose liver, or may other liver be used for 2 So goes a question from a letter | which recently came to my desk. The literal translation for this word is “fat liver,” and it has come to mean | that luxury foie gras made from the | livers of geese, which are fattened specifically for the enlargement of their livers. Strasburg and Toulouse, | in France, are noted for their foie gras. We are most familiar with the pate, or paste, but the whole liver, which is known as foie gras au naturel, is | considered an even greater delicacy. It is sometimes served hot as a first | course. | ‘While no other liver paste is quite like that which is made from goose | liver, it is possible to make a very | good spread for sandwiches or canapes | from other kinds. I sometimes take | the common liverwurst, force it | through a coarse sieve, mix it with | an equal amount of softened butter and season it with lemon juice. This | is also very good used in combination with aspic jelly. I pour a little of | the liquid jelly in the bettom of a| ring mold, chill it until set, then add @ layer of the liver paste and pour in | the rest of the liquid. When this is | set it may be turned out on to a ring | mold on to a large platter. The cen- | ter should be filled with a mixed | vegetable salad. I am giving you two | recipes for liver paste which I think | you will find delicate in flavor: LIVER PASTE. (German Method) 1 pound calves Sali. paprika. or chicken livers 1; cup sweei or | 1 teaspoon onion sour cream,| ce. whip| | Cook liver gently in boiling salted ‘water about five minutes, until tender. | Press through a coarse sieve, add sea- | sonings, mix well and fold in whipped | cream.

Sift together and mix with water. Smear like a paste all over the marble and then scrub with a stiff brush. Wash off with cold water and dry thoroughly. The Old Gardener Says : Peas are among the earliest vegetables to plant. They are cool weather vegetables and do not thrive after hot weather comes. It is well to make three plant- ings at intervals of 10 days in order to have a long succession, but peas should be planted deeply if the soil is light. Six inches is not toc deep. If a layer of manure can be put under them and covered with an inch of soil, the results will be surprising. The tall growing peas give the largest crops and have the longest sea- son, but they must be supported with brush, poultry wire, dis- carded tennis netting or strings. Birds often do much damage by eating the blossoms. They may be kept away by tying strips of cloth to strings stretched between sticks, or, better still, by making artificlal snakes from pieces of old rubber hose and placing them in strategic positions.

The one in the accom- panying sketch is characterized by | just enough simplicity to interest the woman who has smart but thrifty in- clinations. It has a distinctly new silhouette. The skirt does a good job at slimming the figure and the bodice is charm- ingly finished with a duplex collar, at the side of which nestles a modish bunch of purple violets. In line with the trend toward orig- inality in street frocks, this one is made with front and back openings, and a circular peplum that is short but im- portant. This is one of those refreshingly smart little frocks which will be the rage when we shed our top coats. The design is simple, once you see how it is made. It has a high and squared neckline that achieves a youthful look by having white contrast in the collar. Kimono sleeves are finished with nar- row cuffs that turn back. The skirt is in two gores, and has superlatively slender lines. Prints of many kinds are recom- mended for this dress. They may be silk, synthetic, linen, cotton or thin wool challie. Polka dots are the most popular of all for informal wear. They make up smartly and somehow man- age to look cooler and crisper than other designs in hot weather. They are available in every color and many sizes, and their backgrounds may be light or dark. Barbara Bell Pattern No. 1636-B is designed in sizes 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 and 40. Corresponding bust measurements 30, 33, 34, 36, 38 and 40. Size 16 (34) requires 37; yards of 39-inch material, 1; yard contrast.

EAR boys and girls: Growing boys | 1" and girls who have reached the | | self-conscious stage of the teens have trouble with their skins. Pimples are | a bothersome trial. Dull skin given to freequent eruptions of one sort or another is a common scourge. The| | children try to cover the annoying | | effects of these difficulties with'powder | | and paint. That is a mistake. | | Paint and powder will not cure & | iskin defect. - They are more likely to make it worse. Health is the cure | | for skin troubles. It is easy enough for | voung people to attain it and along with it the beauty of youth, than which | | there is no greater loveliness in all | | the world. | _ Youthful skins need a good soap. | | This need not mean a highly colored and strongly perfumed soap. It does mean a soap free from strong ele-v} ments that burn and dry the skin. | Get a mild soap, one that is made of | clean fat, one that smells good to you. Use it with plenty of warm water. Cleanliness is the foundation of a healthy, beautiful skin. | If pimples are bothering you wash | well with your favorite soap and warm water. Rinse off with warm clear water. Pat your face dry with a soft towel. Now take a bit of ice in a white | | linen rag and ice the skin swiftly. | Don't hold the ice on any one place, | but gently cool the skin with it. Do | this every day for a while. It will help. | Attend to your diet. You love sweets. That is because you need the energy the sugar gives you. Don't overdo it. Go as lightly as you can on desserts and still get enough sugar for daily | needs. Eat vegetables, plenty of them. that boys and girls cannot marry while all of this glamour is about them. 'HIS is about all that can be said in favor of the early marriage. That it does not make for happiness is| abundantly proved by the fact that it ends oftener in divorce than does the marriage contracted later in life, Nothing is more baseless than the theory that if a boy and girl marry | they will grow up together and have the same tastes and habits and out- | look on life. Development is determined by Na- ture, not by propinquity. The kind certainly stand a great deal better chance of making a success of mar- riage than those who marry on a shoestring, or no string at all. For starving together doesn't seem so ro- mantic an adventure after marriage as it does before. Love is mighty apt to fly out of the window when the bill collector is forever hammering on the door, and bread and cheese and kisses pall on the appetites of those accustomed to three square meals & day. All of which adds up saying that marriage, like all other good things, is worth waiting for and work- ing for. DOROTHY DIX. * $ . EAR DOROTHY DIX: I am a widower of 36. I have a little boy of 8 and have been advised by well-meaning friends that I should | remarry for the sake of the boy, as he is at an age when he especially needs a mother. I am Lopelessly and helplessly in love wtih a girl of 22. Do you think that the difference in | our ages is too great for her happi- ness? I love her so unselfishly that I put her good before my own. There is a woman of my own age who I feel sure would marry me if I asked her, but the only reason I could see for marrying her would be that she of men and women we grow into de- | pends upon our heredity, our educa- tion, our brains, the way we were | trained in babyhood, and it is just a chance when a boy and girl start out with the same mental and moral equipment, the same background, and develop alcng the same lines. Indeed, how seldom this occurs we see in the misfit husbands and wives all about us who, after their flare of romance is over, have not a single thought or taste or interest in common. NOR is there any truth in the other sentimental theory that young people can adapt themselves to each other better than older people. Noth- ing in the world is so unadaptable as youth, beceuse youth is pure selfish- ness and arrogance. It takes time. It | takes age. It takes experience. It | takes battling up against the world | to teach us the folly of trying to| break down stone walls instead of | walking around them. It takes a | knowledge of life that comes only | from living to teach us how to get along with people—and that goes for | husbands and wives especially—how to make allowances for their faults | and to meke the most of their vir-| tues, and how generally to smooth | their fur the right way and handle them with tact and diplomacy. So the young people who have had to defer their marriages need not feel that their waiting has been a total loss. They may not have quite so many illusions, but they will have a lot better chance at happiness. In the first place, they will be sure of their own feelings, and, after all, that is the most important thing in making mar- riage a success. Really getting the heart’s desire. They can be sure that any affection that has stood the wear and tear of a long engagement is the genuine, blown-in-the-bottle kind, that only death itself can shatter. HEN they will know they are get- ting what they want in a life companion, instead of gambling on it, as the young do. The men and women they marry will be mature. Their habits and tastes formed. They will be intelligent or dumb. Dependable or flighty. Domestic or play girls and boys. Extravagant or thrifty. esting or boring. Marriage will be a sure thing, not a grab-bag propo- sition. Furthermore, those who wait until they are financially able to marry Inter- | would make a good mother for my boy. S. 0. 8. Answer—Whether 14 years is too great a difference between the ages of a husband and wife depends alto- gether upon the temperament of the man and woman. If vou are young for your age; if you enjoy going about and doing things, and if the girl is old for her age; if she i sedate and serious-minded, then the matter of years is not to be considered. BUT if you are old and settled in all of your habits; if you want to spend all of your evenings slumped down in a chair listening to a radio, and if the girl is gay and high-spir- ited and pleasure-loving then the difference between your ages is en- tirely too great. You should marry somebody who is as elderly as you are and she st:ould marry & playboy. There is nothing more important than that people should marry in their own age class, but this does not mean that they should marry those who have had the same number of birthdays they have. It means people who are spiritually their age, men- tally their age. There are men and women who are old in the cradle and others who are boys and girls at 80. F COURSE, in mairying, & wid- ower should primarily consider his child’s advantage, but the fact that a woman is 36 does not neces- sarily insure her being a better step- mother than the one of 22. Not every middle-aged woman has the | maternal instinct and an under- | standing and sympathy with children | any more than she has naturally wavy hair or blue eyes. There again you have to judge the woman on her own merits. Is this girl fond of children? I don’t mean does she make a play at | yours with one eye on papa, but do kids just flock around her wherever she goes? Does the child take to her? | Because children, like dogs, have a sure intsinct about those who really love them. Is she domestic? Will she be willing to stay at home and make a home for him instead of always gadding about? Watch how she han- dles the child and you can get a ! line on her qualifications for a step- mother. But, anyway, dont marry the middle-aged woman whom you | don't love, under any condition. That will make all three of you miserable. DOROTHY DIX. (Cop 1935.) Minerals Necessary For Nerves BY JAMES W.

Those who, because of fear or be- cause of actual disease of the diges- tive tract, suffer much from indiges- tion keep leaving out of their diet one food after another that they think disagrees with them, until they come | to subsist upon a very restricted diet. In general, the diet becomes so poor from the chemical standpoint that malnutrition and loss of weight result. ‘The nervous system needs a definite amount of certain foods, and when these are not eaten, the nervous sys- tem can be definitely harmed. The foods containing mineral salts are especially necessary to the nervous system, and as you know, the nerves regulate the body processes. Thus | these nervous inward looking, excitable tus and emotional individuals should make sure of a liberal supply daily of foods containing minerals. The foods rich in minerals are milk, cheese, leafy vegetables, egg yolk, whole grains, liver, sea foods, nuts, dried fruits, fresh fruits. The foods poor in mineral salts are fat pork, bacon, lard and suet, butter, salad oil, sugars, confectionery, puri- fled starches and white flours. Fortunately no harm comes from eating an excess of mineral foods. If the amounts of fruits and veg- | etables, eggs and meat in the diet must be limited on account of the expense, it is wise to use whole grain breads and breakfast cereals instead of those made from highly milled grains. The way to make sure of providing a safe surplus of mineral elements is to include in each day’s menu liberal amounts of one or two foods rich in each of the mineral elements calcium, phosphorus and iron as mentioned above.
