Louisiana. East of the Mississippi the fall has been general but slight, while west of the Rockies marked and general rise has occurred. Rain has occurred over the lakes and eastward and also along the Mississippi and the gulf coast This rain area closely follows the line of the falling temperatures, and is caused by the sudden chilling of the air.
 In the cotton states rain was general along the gulf coast and in the Missis- sippi valley, and cloudy skies prevailed throughout all other sections except the Atlantic slope. Frost may occur in Okla hon1a and western Texas Wednesday night and cool weather will be general west of Alabama Thursday. Conditions seem favorable for some rain Thursday in this section, followed by moderate fall in temperature.

Going 10 rehearsal this morning, l

traces of badly applied makeup. There
We're As in two blocks
When a woman gets to a certain age
| suppose she may do as she likes. but
girls wouldn't use heavy whitemast on
their faces if they knew how much old
er they looked, and how drawn and
dry the skin appears under the coating
Ut powder. If one is going to use
powder, however, there should be
law making every woman put on her
powder by a very strong light, and
be sure and powder the back of the
neck and behind the ears quite as re-
ligiously as the nose and chin.
The only way YOU can be sure the
back of your neck is quite the same
color as the front of it is by using al
cohol on it after you have bathed in
| the morning. Keeping the neck clean
is a trick which even very clean per-
sons sometimes forget
| Now that we are wearing one-p piece
| dresses. We don't see so many gaping
| belt lines and safety pins. But not
every girl has caught the trick Of
wearing her clothes as if they were
comfortable, and think that is a nee
essary factor in the art of looking pref
| ty.
They tell me at the Long Branch
Horse show that the display of clothes
was perfectly gorgeous, but that most
OF the boxes were empty because the
girls couldn't sit down. Now, l can't
imagine that these beautifully dressed
people looked comfortable or serene,
and I think that frocks which make
one physically uncomfortable detract
immensely from ones looks, no matter
| how pretty they may be.
Lots Of girls have the trick of fuss
ing constantly with their hair or run
ming their fingers over their faces, fun
bling their chins or generally feeling to
see if the collar or dress is all right.

He reads the death notice of a friend

II the friend is few years older
If the years have done nothing else
for him, they have changed his opinion
of what constitutes a good time.
He thought he was a bird away back
