BROOKLYN TIMES UNION SEPTEMBER 18, 1934 Buffet Supper and Electrical Appliances Make Any Affair Pleasing to Guests, Hostess TUESDAY CROCHETED ACCESSORIES ARE FUN TO MAKE Nail White Pencil, Fitting the Purse, I QUSAN HOSTESS AUDS HER OWN PARTIES Directions for Baby Cap, Mesh Gloves: and Sea Shell Bag Shown at Right. CHESTER'S p. re 1 1 HIT nr am "S7 Crocheting is getting around these days and will probably slay the winter. The baby cap shown It airy and cool, and Its design is no lcs a joy to create than to behold on its dimpled wearer. It fasten under the chin, with charming bow on each side of the face, A tricky pair of mean glovea have short, flared cuffs opening on the aide.

The crocheted bag boasts a nagger wooden handle and is large enough to carry all your accoutrements without spilling. Love Thrives on Opposition and Mother Who Wishes to Discourage Daughter's Interest in a Certain Young Man Should Use More Subtle Methods. i i i Love, like religion, has thrived since time immemorial on opposition and persecution. Opposition, instead of having the intended effect, seems to nourish and stimulate love, perhaps because a love that braves defiance appeals to us as more romantic than a prosaic affair that has nothing but smooth sailing. Aids Hand Beauty New Loveliness Accessory It of Size Convenient to Carry Around.

GLADYS QIAO The lovely Catherine Cornell, whe Is considered one of the most talented actresses on the American tage, has very beautiful and ex presslve hands. 'Because ot the characters that she usually por trays on the stage, however, Kath erlen seldom uses vivid polishes on her fingertips. Her nails seem te possess a natural rosy luster ef their own. And so, all she does te give them a perfectly groomed pearance It te keep their tips clear and white. Of course, the gal who has a let of time on her hands usually doesn't find it difficult to keep het nail tips clean and white.

But be cause of the nature of their dally duties, the Harassed Housewife and the Hard Wolklng Goll usually de find this a difficult task. Yet It really needn't be, There are several ways In which the nail rime may be given that whiteness so essential te perfect grooming. One method Is by cleansing under the nails with a bit ef cotton that has been wrapped around an orange stick and moist ened with peroxide. A second way Is by pouring a few drops of perex-Ids on a nail brush, and rubbing the fingertips over the bristles. And a third means is by using nail white under the tips of the nails.

I've never been very much la favor of the last mentioned meth od, for If the nail white Is toe cementy, it may pile up under the nails, and become discolored. Of course, one can't very well carry about a bottle of peroxide and a nail brush for use on the nalle when they become soiled during the day. Nor can one go to the trouble of touching up the nails with nail white each time that they need attention. But cosmetic manufacturers have now put out a new manlourlng implement that should prove a regular godsend te the Harassed Housewife and the Hard Woiklng Goil. The latest addition to the manU cure series Is the nail white pencil.

It looks Just like any ether and is sharpened when necessary In the same way. The only difference Is that It has a white point which is protected by a gold cap. When your nail tips become grimy, you simply wash your hands, moisten the pencil point, run it under your nails, and presto! your nails emerge wltth the loveliest ef white rims.

The Right Word By W. CWRTia NICHOLSON A STRANGE GEYSER Of course, you knew what a gey ser Is. If you ao not look It up In your dictionary. Now, can you Imagine a geyser out mountain climbing? If we were willing te take literally the sixth sentence sent us by Mlsa E. M.

C. ot Philadelphia. we should all be moat desirous of joining an expedition to see this strange geyser. This la what we read: "Coming up the high mountain, the geyser could be seen In the distance." Ne doubt If that geyser reach the top, we should have another world wonder, than which there could be no greater for all time. Since we are not living in a fair land, we shall be forced ot rewrite the sentence in question and thtm glve a true picture; therefore, we have: "Ascending the high mountain, we could see the geyser In the distance." The seventh aentence waa dlsu cussed In the last instalment ef "The Right Word." The eighth sentence read as folt lows: 1 "The detectives did not believe the thief to be he." This should have read as follows- "The detectives did not believe the thief to be him." Why "him" and not "Thief" Is the aublect ot the In finitive "to be, and th subject of an Infinitive must be in the objective case.

The complement "him after the Infinitive "te be" must be In the same case as the subject Another example: I thought It te be him. (Copyright, Mi.

He Failed in Latin, Succeeded in Life, Man, 78, Reports Railroader Tells Myers He Has 'Never Forgotten Being "Flunked." By GARRY C.

MYERS, Ph. D. Although this column is ad dressed to parents, young and middle aged, received a good many letters from readers who are over 70 or SO. They speak out of rich experience. From the "Office of Secretary 4nd Treasurer" of an eastern railroad company, came this letter: "My dear Dr.

Myers: I have read your article over and over in regard to parents who sympathize with children who flunk. You have expressed the feelings of many parents. I can appreciate this letter ror I have been flunked mow, than once. I have suffered ani. iuld not sleep on account of failing'.

More than once I wished 1 was dead. 1 agree with you not to pass a child on probation. Those two words "Probation" and "Demotion" he will hate as long as he lives. I am 78 years old, and I have not forgotten when I was flunked and never will." In writing to thank this gentlemen for his letter, I asked him to tell me more about his experience and he replied: "You asked me to write more of my experience while in college. My failures started with Latin.

Excuse this, but I hate the word. I left on account of Latin. I told my father I was too 'dumb' to grasp it and he put me on a farm. I am glad to say I have, been successful in many ways. I have associated awith well-informed men ana women, nave never nearu one word of Latin used in my busi ness experience.

I admire the man or woman who can speak good English- I won't mention the college I attended, but I have no de sire to soe the building or the teachers. I made the failure, no one to blame but myself. I have been fortunate in selocting a good wife and rearing a fine, family. I am proud. of them all.

"I have handed your article to quite a number- of fathers and mothers. I also showed it to the commissioner of education of our state, and he agreed with you in every respect. He spoke very enthusiastically of your writings. Please do not use my name, but you have the privilege of using any part of my letter. I want to congratulate you on the good work you are doing for young and Old.

I hope you may live as long as you want to. 8.: The State commissioner of education told me last evening they did not compel students to take Latin now. I said, "Thank God for those boys and girls at school'." NEW POWDER BOXES Wristwatch powder boxes are next in fall novelties.

I Enjoys Self When She Needn't Worry Over Details of Entertaining. Too many hostesses find their own parties spoiled for them by the devastating details of entertain ing. They simply haven't the Ume to sit back and enjoy themselves. It- Is possible to be the most hospitable of hostesses, and at the same time "attend ones own party, by the proper choice of menu and accessories. Kor example, the new and smart buffet supper leaves the hostess free to mingle with her guests, with no distractions, instead of confining I her to conversation with the "left" I and "right" interspersed with wor- rles about the next course.

I And the guests have a good time, choosing everything but the time and place. They enjoy making their own from the foods they like best, sitting where they want to sit and moving about as they pleaae. One hot food makes the menu more satisfying, and when that hot food ts toast it provides the hest possible foundation for the greatest number of combinations. Mainstay of the buffet supper Is a hospitality tray, equipped witu toaster and serving dish. The newest models have a serving dtsh Jutt the right size for six people, with compartments for various foods.

A cutter for removing the crusts or cutting toast into strips is another feature. The tray of mahogany, walnut or sycamore, to match the furniture binds the whole acceptor? into a compact attractive unit around which the buffet table Is laid. The toaster is important, and should be fool-proof. One that times the toasting, pops the toast out and shuts off the current, is best Then there can be neither burnt toast nor burnt fingers. The buffet supper Is typical of the food combinations practicable with such an arrangement An assortment of cheese, crabmeat, sliced tongue, pickles and olives, preserved pears and mayonnaise with melted butter to be brushed on the toast, are all right at hand on the hosnitalltv tray, and coffee "parked" right st the table, form a menu that will pinue the most Jaded of appetites.

Clark Ashton Smith. The Shine Of itfjUfr--f pun Fotca by Mm by Lucille FASHION COORDINATOR THE A lipstick to most of us symbolizes the grand feminine gesture. But to the scientifically trained mind of one renowned beauty specialist, a lipstick has a biology all Its own.

Lips to this famous beautician, are a highly complicated organ worthy of careful study. The results of her research and experimentation on Hps and lipsticks for many years have now borne ripe fruit in her new biological lipstick. the first of its kind. Healthy young lips are supplied with essential secretions from the salivary glands. Certain substances In these secre tions give a lustrous moisture, a shine, a dewy gleam to the lips- wherefore the youthful altveness, the provocative allure.

Other Hps are parched, dry, chapped, dull in a word, old. They lack the fresh, moist look of youth. Which brings us to the new bio A- 2 In is oil in Materiabii Clark's 0. N. T.

"When should the baby begin to walk?" Nothing, except perhaps the twin Inquiry, "When should my baby begin to talk?" gives the young parents so much concern. If the Jones baby across the street, who was born a week later, has succeeded in taking a few steps unassisted and alone, while theirs is still ignomlnlously crawling on all fours, the humiliation is almost more than can be borne. But really, it makes very little difference. Iu the absence, of course, of any actual disease of the bones, muscles or nervous system. A few weeks or months' difference, more or lent, is no sign of either advanced or retarded development The act ot walking alone itself is preceded, prepared for, by a long series or other acts by wnicn tne muscles are gradually strengthened and taught control.

Thus voluntary purposeful movements, such as grasping an object held out to the baby, begin about the tourtn month. At about the same period the head is held erect when the trunk is supported. The baby is usually able to sit up about the eighth month. standing with support, but perfectly erect le learned at the end of the first year. Soon after the youngster begins to take some ateps with support.

And at the fifteenth month, in the average, true walking independently of any help is seen. Even so, only a few steps can be taken at a time at first. And the time when Independent walking begins may be as late as the seventeenth month of life. It it Is delayed beyond that time the first thing to think about is rickets. Sometimes mental deficiency, or Involvement of the central nervous system causing paralysis, is present.

But these should be evident before the time of walking begins. Rickets is suggested by a protuberant a row of enlargements along the ribs Just along the outside the breast bone (the rickety rosary), a square-shaped 1 head with prominent forehead, and a marked disinclination to stand even when supported. Contrivances for teaching or helping infants to walk are unnecessary. The baby should not be restrained from walking if It wants to, or urged to walk If It doesn't QUESTIONS FROM READERS M. 8.: "Four years ago the finger-nail on the middle finger of my right hand began to thicken from the root to the thickness of one-fourth Inch.

New Hioh Hats Are Spotlighted At Recent Show A flower-decked garden wall allowed only the head and shoulders ot the models to be seen, and spot lights were turned directly on each hat giving It sole Importance at a recent show of the new fall hats.

Neckwear, precious, furs and Jew elry only were allowed to share In the spotlight. The new high hat, In Alpine, Directors and Postillion interpretations, was the most frequently seen silhouette. The large picture hat always in velvet was the second novelty. These picture hats of the Lillian Russell period were made on foundations and stretched tightly in the old Gainsborough fashion, and were authentically trimmed with plumes. The hats were all blocked and designed for evening wear, and the feathers were in colors, romantic, glamorous and certainly lending the wearer a new elegance.

Many believe this type of hat In smaller Interpretation will be seen as a candle light or formal afternoon fashion, but we think tne wl be worn '(or even. aIao their appeal Is so universal Many of thn hats wore decorated by beautiful rhlneatone clips. Ladies who hnve adorned themselves with real Jeweled brooches will be wearing them continually on their velvet hats, not only for evening but for.iireet wear. Necklaces, handsome pendant earrings, Jeweled clips and pins were shown with these hats, and small clusters of orchids were worn at the neck with fur and velvet capes and collars. Take note of this one thing: the beret Is not out of the picture for winter.

The turban is in the ascendency, but the beret la too becoming to too many women to loose much of Its popularity. The idea of the whole mode Is to be casual and picturesque. If you can do that in a beret, than continue wearing your beret.

Dates Forbidden Dear Miss Chester: Several months ago you helped me with a problem and I trust you will help me with tins one.

But I can iorget tnis otner young man, My mother went into fits and all kinds of faints because I told her I would not give the fellow I love up. 'tell mo. Susan, has she any right to tell me who I am to love and live with? I am 19 years old and what I hare been through I feel like, 90.

I'll be looking forward to an an swer from you. HEARTBROKEN. Take It Easy! Dear Heartbroken: Of course, no one can force you to marry someone you don't want to marry or keep you from marry ing the one you do wish to marry, and probably no one will in the end. But do calm down and take things easier, for only with a quiet mind can you think things out and the common sertso necessary work things out satisfactorily. 1 Both you and your mother are making a mistake in the choice of methods.

If she had merely introduced this other young man to you and managed to have the two of you meet occasionally, instead of forbidding you to go out with the man you love, she would have been more successful. And if you would keep calm and cool and eliminate the hysterics and weeping, you would be able to gain your own way more easily than you can now. Go Out With Him In the first place, I'd suggest that go out with this other young man once or twice. It won't hurt to find out what he's like, for you might like him very much. This would placate your mother and would be only fair to her anyway.

-Naturally she ts anxious to have -you make a good marriage and it is the way of mothers the world over ho be ambitious for their daughters. (At least try out her choice. Perhaps if you cooperate with her in this way she will be more agreeable io your going out with the other too. Instead of adopting the Juliet attitude of "my love or I die," tell your family that you are not ready yet to make any definite choice and wish to go out with several boys. If you go out occasionally with the other boy there may be no objections to your going out with the one ou love.

It would be wise, anyway, for love has a way of changing overnight when we are very young and you might find that you tweren't quite as deeply in love as you think and then how foolish you would feel about kicking up such a sfUBS for someone you don't really So, stop feeling like a martyr and be business-Ilka and practical about whole matter. If your mother tan't remain calm, you do so and you will find that it is the quiet, -dignified, serene person who really kets his or her own way In this world. SUSAN.
