w 'Quickly Accomplished and Prepared Kitche Shopping in Washington ||Fluffy Chin Strap, Hair Cap, in One Appear "Assist Nature When | Renewing Tissues During Sleep. BY ELSIE PIERCE. I\lORE and more women are using & hair, cap of some kind to keep the wave in place while they sleep. More and more women are using a chin strap to coax the muscles upward and hold that youthful line at the jaw. Put them all together and break the news to them that they can now have a combination chin strap and hair cap all in one. With the new two in one you can use tissue creams, muscle oils and astrin- gent lotions, you can wash it contin- ually and the French elastic will not lose its spring. The cap part of it is sturdy net. It | 1s opened wide in the back so that the | hair need not be mussed while the cap | strap is being adjusted. Once on the | ribbon ties are adjusted until the whole fits snugly. The manufacturers claim | that it has helped to reduce ‘double | chins and fill out hollowed cheeks. It preserves the contour of youth, fits| easily and comfortably, and even looks | well on, so that if your dearest enemy should pop in unannounced it won't matter. | Here's a way to do a two-in-one homework lesson and do it while you sleep. That's the time, you know, when nature is doing her important | work of renewing worn-down tlssues,‘ ::g-nuflnx the battery known as our y. To Set Wave. ‘ Before you don the cap strap, go over your wave carefully. It is noz} difficult to pinch and set every wave | in place. Spray a little water or bril- | liantine on the hair, push and pinch | the wave up, slip a few hairpins herei and there, then slip on the cap strap and keep it on in the morning while | taking your bath or shower and dress- | ing. Remove it as the last thing be- fore applying make-up. Chin Treatment. And for your contour treatment, cleanse first, then apply a good tissue cream and directly over it pat briskly with a skin tonic or mild astringent. ‘The lotion will penetrate through the cream, the cream softening the skin and smoothing out any wrinkles, the astringent tightening. That done, don your strap. Cook’s Corner ALEXANDFR GEORGE. DINNER. Chilled Fruit Juices Breast of Lamb Vegetables Philadelphia Relish Biscuits Currant Jelly Lemon Pie Coffee SUPPER.

Left, dark green with in a one-piece model. Right, two-piece froc brown belt stitched in red. BY MARGARET WARNER. 1 OR those who are partial to good looking, well tailored but plain | | shirtmaker frocks we have | good news! ’ One of the largest firms manufac- | turing men’s fine shirts for the past | 32 years started last Spring to make | shirt-frocks for women and now they | arg busier than ever turning out smart | tailored frocks of pure-dye silk in dark colors in one and two piece models, This is the sort of thing that is fine for business, for college, for general wear about town under your casual coat. They are noted fos perfection of seaming, buttons sewed on to stay, | man-tailored sleeves with straight and | turn-over cuffs and plenty of fullness in the skirts. | The two-piece model comes with a little bosom front and small round collar finished with three rows of stitching. The set-in sleeves have straight cuffs open on the outer side. The skirt with inverted pleats at cen- ter front and back has a patch pocket on each side and a brown leather belt stitched in the color of the dress is attached to the skirt band. The one-piece model has turned- back cuffs on the sleeves set info rag- lan shoulders, one pocket on the blouse and two on the skirt, with buttoned over flaps. The skirt is gored and also | boasts a pleat at front and back. * k kX TILL more shirt-frock news is that about the “wooly-looking” checked cottons for Fall. While all well- | dressed Britishers are wearing their sports shirts of these identical cotton checks and plaids, our own very smart men’s shops are showing them here at the same time in men’s shirts. Just as the British plaid tweeds were adopt- e by the smartest Englishwomen everywhere for their own sports, these tiny checks and plaids of British men’s shirt fashions are being adopted by smart sports women here for the same casual wear. They are perfect for golfing and present an entirely new slant on the early foot ball game frock. Separate bloi<2s made by this firm | adhere closely to the shirt formula. | Blouses with the fashion of myriads of tiny tucks of chambray in mar- velous colors; blouses with tiny but- tons marching up the front to a wee PATTERN 5280 Crochet your gloves and you will not only be comfortable and ‘warm, but also right in style whether it's sportz or dressy clothes you favor. ‘This pair made in a so6ft wool will add an attractive note to your costume. ‘The gauntlet glove with its lacy inset gives it a swagger look. The wrist- strap adds to the irim appearance. And if you drive, they are just the thing for, though molding beautifully to the hand, they give the ample freedom necessary in handling a car. In pattern 5280 you will find complete instructions for making the gloves shown in a small, medium and large size (all given in the one pate tern) ; an illustration of it and of the stitches needed; material requirements. To obtain this pattern send 15 cents in stamps or coin to the Woman's Edijor of The Evening Star, B Y a light green leather belt k of pottery rust with —8ketched in a Washington Shop. standing collar: all manner of fine shirt detail applied to easy and color- ful women's sport fashions. You will really enjoy these shirts at prices ranging from $3.7 to $4.95. One of the tiny checks comes in gray and wine red against white with small dark red buttons at the front closing and on the flaps of the two box- pleated pockets. An odd material | with a diagonal weave in light and | dark tones uses the dark for stitching. The very shallow yoke continues into the sleeves. One model with a notched collar and wide revers may be worn with the revers folded over for a closer neckline. Most of the backs have yokes and action pleats. * ok x X 'HE tailored frock is nicely pre- sented by another firm in alpaca with that soft, dull finish. Kent green, Chili brown, pottery rust and slate blue are the colors. One of these goes in for pleating with panels of six pleats each side of the front and the same effect on the skirt. Tiny stud- like buttons in emerald glass add in- terest to the front closing, pockets and cuffs. On the inexpensive racks you will often find attractive frocks for casual wear such as a soft brown dull ma- terial with small pattern in red.

POST: Is it neces- sary to.acknowledge condolence notes? I've personally written to every one who sent our family flowers during its recent bereavement, but I haven't as yet done anything about the many cards and notes we re- ceived.” Answer—You really should write something in appreciation. “Thank you for all your sympathy” or “Thank you for your beautiful letter” or “Thank you for your kind thought” on your own visiting card, or to people whom you don’t know well some one can write a short note for you— “Mother” or “Mrs. Smith has asked me to thank you, etc.” There is no hurry about sending out these few ‘words of thanks and they can be very brief, but all flowers and personal kindnesses should be acknowledged by hand. Cards saying nothing except “With sympathy,” sent through the mail, need not be acknowledged. “Dear Mrs. Past: My daughter will be married at home on our twenty-’| fifth wedding anniversary and on her grandparents’ fiftieth anniversary, and as we think this is a rather unusual situation, of which we should take some notice, we'd like to mention it in the invitation which is being sent out. Can you make any suggestions?” Answer—I don't know how this could be done except by inclosing an engraved card in addition to and smaller than the one inclosed to the reception, with the following: (in silver) Mr. and Mrs. Parents 1910-1935 “Dear Mrs. Post: I have a great ‘afternoon’ friends with whom I play bridge and see at the woman’s club, but whose husbands I have never met. Very shortly I'm going to turn to addressing baby announcements, and I don’t know whether, as in the case of wedding announcements, it is considered more polite to address them to Mr. and Mrs,, or whether Mrs. is sufficient.” Answer—If you are sending out the baby’s card tied to your Mr. and Mrs. card, then address the announcements to Mr. and Mrs. But if you are choos- ing to send only your own card, then address envelopes to Mrs, alone. Both are equally proper, but the mother's card alone is usually sent to & smaller and more intimate list than the double card of the mother and father., (Coprrisht. 1935 Rice Omelet Or Spicy Pepper Steak Good on Cool Evenings for 2 or 3 minutes.

Do you sup- pose grandpa’s middle name was always Joseph and that he never had a roving eye or chased a petticoat? If you do, you've guessed wrong. In those days there were just as many unfaithful husbands as there are now. Just as many wives sat at home alone with jealousy gnawing at their hearts while their husbands stepped out with flappers; just as many wives saw their husbands in the clutches of gold- diggers and the money that should have gone to paying the grocer wasted in night clubs as there are today.

Of course the reason that coat dresses are so becoming to older women is that they accent long lines. This one closes at side-front with but- tons at the waistline. The sleeves are frankly kimona, long and finished with a turned-back cuff. One side of the blouse is quite simple, trimmed with a narrow band of contrasting fabric at the V-cut neck. But the other has 8 wide revere, also trimmed with a flat band of material or braid. Darts mold the waistline and the skirt is straight, with a deep overlapping front. This a lovely dress, in the dull, heavy satin that is so good this season. Black, plum, rust, deep purple or sage green are perfect for the older woman, and the bit of contrast in the trim- ming will brighten the dress enor- mously.

BY ANGELO PATRL A LITTLE girl of 11 left a note on my desk. It was nicely written, and would give any one the impres- sion that the writer had suffered graw" injustice. It read like this: “Dear Mr. Patri: My teacher sag~ that I am rude. She failed me iz reading, but she hasn’t heard me read the whole term. She gave me 60 i history and I know I passed my tests the whole term. Is this fair? I in« tended to go to high school, but this teacher has discouraged me so that I may not go. Do you think this is Justice? I don't. Respectfully, Fannie.” I looked up Fannie’s record. She had been failing all term. She had been given a special program. The nurse and the doctor had seen her every month. Her mother had been in to see the teachers. She had not only been asked to read daily, but she had had special instruction in reading and had been taken to the psychologi- ‘cal clinic for help. What made her write that note? Failing children are distressed. They find themselves helpless and try to find a way out. The first thing they always do is to look for some one ta blame, and so relieve themselves. Usually it is the teacher. The fact that they tell untruths, that the un+ truths will be uncovered, does nof mean anything to them beforehand, Their minds are confused and their behavior is in accordance. If they were intelligent, clear-thinking chils dren they would not be failing. We must expect this sort of thing from the deficient ones. Experienced teachers always know this. They say nothing to. the child at the time, but they gather the facts, and when he is over the first emo- tional outburst, tell him carefully, in short, clear sentences, what is what, 1f that does not help, then the parents have to be told. Usually the teacher manages to make the child see that his story does not help him. Then the child starts work once more. Consider this when a child telly a startling story about something that happened to him. One little girl told | that she had been kidnaped on the | way to school. We found that she had | spent the morning in a near-by store, | helping herself to whatever she could |lay hands on. She feared exposure 50 provided this alibi.

We found that the boy had been in a fight on his way homa from school, and that the teacher in question had not seen him that day. Such stories are the defense gese tures of failing children.
