PAGE EIGHTEEN TAE USHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1929 Study the Advertisements in This Edition For Holiday Needs 'Helps for Happy Vacation Days! vLORIOUS "days out in the open, for your vacation, Smoothly-flowing and pleasur- able because you've foreseen every need and outfitted the party to avoid every discom- fort, to enjoy every activity, { Your Vacation 'By Margaret Currie in the Montreal Daily Star I have a letter from two girls | of seventeen and eighteen who are earning their own livings and who want to go away together for a holiday to one of the big Maine Coast hotels, Their parents do not think they should go without a chaperone' and they, While they want to go, are just a little afraid that their parents are right--par- ents sometimes are---and also they are afraid they may not know quite how to behave and dress in a big hotel--on all of which they ask for advice. In the first place, it is not your age but the amount of common sense you have that determines whether you are safe in going away alone. I have known flappers of fifty who should not be trusted anywhere without a guardian and I have known children of twelve who could have crossed the con- tinent alone without the slightest danger. t The first rule is never to make yourself conspicuous, / If you must use make-up, put it on so that you don't look like a clown or as if you were about to step on the stage. Use it discreetly and sparingly, al- though I personally think a girl of seventeen or eighteen looks better without make-up at all. It may sound hackneyed but I believe it to be the truth that the young + girl's greatest charm is to look fresh and natural, Leave the ar- tificial bloom for the older woman who needs it. Wear simple clothes that do not attract attention. If you can af- ford it, nothing is better than white for summer wear, Laundry is, however, an expensive item at any hotel, and white is horrible unless it is spotless. Whatever your color scheme, don't wear a num- ber of bright colors together--be as simple in your dress as you can be. Third, don't be conspicuous in your manner. Don't talk and laugh loudly so that people are staring at you, You may think it an ad- miring tribute but ic is much more probable. that your hearers are thinking how silly and ill-bred you «are, Don't ogle the men. Don't chew gum in public and if you " smoke, don't be a chair-smoker on the veranda. In other words, don't smoke to such an extent that people are talking about you, If you have never heen accus- tomed to rooming with anyone, it is wiser not to take a room with another girl. She may be untidy. She may spill, powder all over you like it, without someone to talk and grumble. Write in advance to the man- ager of the hotel, asking for rates. Write again, reserving the room for the date you expect to arrive, mentioning the rate you are pre- pared to pay, and saying how long you will stay. Ask the manager to write you, confirming your reservation, and take his letter with you so that you may be pre- pared to show it, in case there is any question on your arrival, When you arrive, go immediate- ly to the desk to register and this is one case where it is correct to sign your name with Miss ahead of it. Register as Miss Jane Smith, Montreal. You will then be assign- ed your room number and given a key. The bell-boy will take your bags to your room and you tip him ten cents for one bag, and twenty- five cents for more than one. When you go out of your room, | block your door and if you are to be out all morning, leave the key at the desk in the office. Do not leave jewelry' or money in your room, even if locked in your bag. The management is not respoi- sible for valuables unless left in the hotel safe Allow about 10 per cent, of your hotel bill for tipping. The cham- bermaid, the waitress or waiter at your table, and the porter are people you should tip, It is not necessary to wear a hat for meals in a seaside resort, though you may do so if you wish. For breakfast and luncheon any simple little sport dress will be correct. For the evening meal, change into an afternoon frock or a sleeveless summer frock. People do not wear elaborate evening dress at a summer hotel. For the beach, beside your bath- ing suit and cap, you will need some sort of wrap, Many women wear the popular coolie-coat on the beach. Unless you are accli- matized to brilliant sunshine be very careful how you expose your- self to the glare of the beach. One New York girl at 'Bermuda last year had to go to bed for three days and put herself under the care of a doctor, she was so badly blistered. She fainted three times in one day. It will pay you to wear a wrap, a beach hat, and to carry a parasol. You will need a warmer coat or sweater for the evening as seaside nights are usually cold and unless you are having a room with a bath, you will want a dressing-gown and bedroom slippers to wear -on flirtations too , a pretty girl, and a shim- mering sea may , but when he gets back to | to the surface half a ton at a time, that's another story, me forgets to write. Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and have a good time, PREPARATIONS T0 SALVAGE BIG SHIP Two Italian Vessels Arrive at Brest Equipped For Task INGENIOUS DEVICES Wreck kof Liner Egypt Will Be Found by Drg- ging Paris, June 26.--In the land-lock- ed harbor of Brest two small ships lay at anchor dimly visible through driving rain, They were the Italian salvage ships Artiglio and Rostro, from Genoa. They lay off Brest over night, and in the morning they feit their way into harbour through a fog which hid them from the shore. Monday they were coaling and mak- ing their final preparations for sal- vage work on the sunken P, and O. liner Egypt, which lies at the botom of the Atlantic, out beyond Ushant, in nearly 70 fathoms of unsheltered water, ! The Artiglio is already known to readers of The Times for the remark- able work done by her crew on the wreck of the Belgian steamship Lliz- abethville off Belle Ile last year. In this expedition she has the help of her sister ship, the Rostro, and their names are well chosen, for they arc equipped to drag treasure from the depths of the sea with every conceiv- able mechanical development of beak and slaw. The sunken Egypt carried gold and silver valued at £1,054,000, 5 tons of gold, and 45 tons of silver, Somewhere in her hull--the divers know exactly where--there are box- cs of gold bars worth £674,000, gold coins, also in boxes, worth £165,000, and silver bars, loose, worth £215,000, Mechanical Grab The Artiglio has been lavishly re- cquipped since last year, She carries four mechanical grabs which lay hold of almost : anything irom a rivet to s whole cabin roof, and tear it from its place. She has a three-ton electro magnet which will lift to the surface heavy steel plates and beams that cannot be hooked to the ordinary derrick, She has special small grabs, designed to seize ingots and bring them to the surface one by one with- out dropping them. She has a great steel basket into which the bullion can be ladled by the grabs and hauled Se has lamps which will light up the ocean floor ii necessary; they are specially designed to stand the tre- you heart is broken when the boy Sunday dinners, Why do your own cooking these hot days?
