BY BETSY CASWELL. HE school lunch box now assumes the center of the stage. Mothers are “put to it” to provide adequate food value in a small space. They also realize that the food must be appealing to the child, or he will leave much of it uneaten, with no one to make sure that he cleans up every crumb. Therefore, the matter is really a pretty complicated one.

Post Office Address On | | Note Paper, | Full Name Only Used on Business-Type Stationery. BY EMILY POST. l)EAR MRS. POST: I believe you have advised that when letter | paper is marked with the name and | full post office address the name should | appear with title. Please tell me nhu} { o do in my case. As you see from the | | postmark and address given in this let- | ter T am living in a South Americar country. Most of my letter writing is to friends in the States, and for this reason I think my paper should carry a full address. However, to permit Mrs. John Kane on this paper seems too business like to send to friends. Answer: Every rule of etiquette has come into being because it serves a useful purpose or contributes to beauty. On paper you are to use when | writing to your friends, it is certainly | not necessary to tell them your name, | but it is necessary for them to know | | (and for you repeatedly to tell them) | your full post office address. Plainly | then it would be proper to print this and leave your name off, or put a | monogram (or initials) at the left of | the sheet and the full address at the | right, either die-stamped or printed. And then order separate paper printed with full name and title and address for business letters or for whenever your full name is necessary. * X ¥ % l)EAR MRS. POST: Will you tell me what is customary when writing to | some one who has just lost a dear | relative? In this case the husband lost | the relative, but the wife is my friend, | so should I address the note to Mr. | and Mrs., or to whom? Answer: Ordinarily a note of sym- | pathy is addressed to the one directly | in mourning. On the other hand, it | would be quite proper to write to the | wife and ask her to tell her husband | how sorry you are. * % % % I)EAR MRS. POST: A young man I| ~ met last Winter while at college | has written to tell me that he is com- ing here for several days just to see me. He told me several times that he was coming to see my family and me, but | I never thought he really meant it and | so never mentioned anything about | our family's living in a house much too small for us, let alone taking in a | visitor. And now I am afraid he is expecting to stay with us, and mother says if I think he’ll be comfortable she would be glad to let me ask him. But I know he would not be com- | fortable, and I would rather tell him he had better go to the hotel. What | do you suggest that I do about this? Answer: Write him a note and tell him how glad you will be to see him, | but that you are sorry you are not | able to ask him to stay in your house | and tell him frankly why. You might | give him the name of the best, or | nearest hotel, and yet leave it open | | 50 that he can choose sleeping with | your little brother, for example, if he prefers. | Stain Remover.

Sunburn looks best on ily exposure to sun and wind keeps that immediately upon tak- “high yellow” that is anything but flattering, becoming a distinct nuisance, and something to be disposed of as soon as possible. Then there is the matter of figures for the new clothes. What has yo vacation done for you in this direc~ tion? Did you enjoy yourself too much, lying on the beach instead of taking a lot of exercise? Did you enjoy the delicious meals to the de- triment of your waistline? If so, there is another bit of work all la out for you to tackle the very first thing, for the Autumn modes have no place for an extra inch of girth One of the famous beauty salons in New York has been conducting a school for its representatives from other cities, giving them up-to-the- minute instruction in every phase of beauty as related to the fashions for the coming Fall and Winter season. Washington has had three repre- sentatives at the Summer school and they are full of interesting news They say, “Put feathers in your hair, take in your waistline, paint your lips and cheeks in rich, dramatic colors, for the Gay Nineties are back! Silhouettes must be pencil-slim. Gone is the boyish plainness in both beauty and clothes, and in its place we shall have elegance and extreme femininity.” They tell us that contours must be clear-cut, young and proudly firm to do justice to the new sweeping hats. Whether you decide on an up-sweeping Merry Widow hat, or a plumed Gay Nineties affair, or a giddy maharajah turban, the profile should be unmarred by the slightest line suggesting re- laxation or droopiness. * ok K % ND if you cannot measure up to the standard, what shall you do about it? Well, there is always a solution for every problem. Even for the difficult one of relaxed muscles that is so annoying and often dis- couraging. The answer to the problem comes from the very school we were talking about. They have a treatment which involves a beautilift masque that is said to remold contours and lift them out of the doldrums, at least for a number of hours, and persistent use will have a more lasting effect. This masque is not only a cream to be ap- plied to the face, but has an accom- panying gauze masque with slits for the eyes, nose and mouth. It is to be tied on, so that the features are actually lifted up during the treat- ment. This is one of the things pre- scribed for getting back into form again.

The two together make an excellent team <OR obstinate cases of tan, freckles or sallowness, you may use a third treatment at night.

Dix Says Grouches Make the Avoid Them in YOUNG woman asks: If you were a girl picking ~ut a hus- band, what particular char- acteristics would you look for in him? Well, first of all, I should make a general survey of his per- sonality and background. I would never marry a man, not even if he were Prince Charming himself, who was temperamental and who had to Worst Husbands, So Picking a Mate. | A woman needs something she can lean on, not something she has to prop up, and so I would not marry | any man who had not shown that he | had the intelligence, the grit and in- } dustry to make a living.

Nor would I marry a weak-kneed, flabby drunkard who would expect me to bolster him up; nor a lazy, ne'er~ do-well who depended on marriage being a sort of galvanic battery that would shock him into action. Also on my taboo list of those with whom I would not march to the altar would be the rich playboy who had never done a day's work in his life nor earned a doliar; the only son whose mamma has raised him a pet and waited on him hand and foot all of his life and who would expect his wife to pinchhit for mother. All these would be out. That would leave just the common or garden va- riety of men and the things that I should ask of them would be just the common garden variety of virtues., I should demand of my husband no movie hero looks, no scintillating bril- liance, no breath-taking achievements, but only that he be livable So I should begin by cocking a wary eye on his disposition. That is what counts most in a husband because it is the thing that his wife has to live with, day in and day out. It is what makes or mars her happiness, and it doesnt’ make a particle of difference to her how moral and upright he is if he is about as pleasant to have around the house as a sore-headed bear. She is miserable.

I would pick out an affectionate man for a husband. I am no crystal | gazer. Neither am I a seventh daugh- | ter of a seventh daughter who was | born in a caul, and so the only way I could possibly have of knowing | whether my husband loved me and | appreciated me would be by his tell- ing me so. And being a repeater. None of your frozen, dumb, take-it-for- granted husbands for me, who never give their wives a kind word until | they put it on their tombstones. | And, finally, I would be very, very | certain that the man I married could entertain me. Being bored to death is | such a long-drawn-out torture. There are so many evenings that a husband and wife must spend together, dee | pendent upon each other for society, and the dullness is so appalling if they have nothing interesting to say to each other. So I would mark well | before I selected a life companion | whether I hung upon his words as Desdemona did upon Othello’s, or | whether I yawned my head off, There are no perfect husbands, No Wwoman wants one.
