The
WOMAN'S
DAY
BY Anene Sunlnew-
HER SHELLLIKE EARS


give shell-like appearance to the
maids and matrons' aural appen-
dages, is now on the market. And
one wonders what will come next. A
willy commercial world, knowing
that woman will pay and pay and
pay for beauty, or what she thinks
is beauty, has produced just about
everything.
Eyebrow pencils and crayons to
make interesting blue-blacl< shadows
over and under and around the orbs,
mascara for the eyelashes, skin
foods, skin tonics, vanishing creams,
cleansing creams, orange and lem
on lotions, liquid powder, rouges
and powders to match a thousand
flesh tints. Hpsticks that paint real
Cupid bows, perfumed with myriad
flower scents.
But somehow to me this ear tint
is sort Of a last straw in the bale
of folly! No logical reason for this
old-fashioned reaction, Of course, but
I continue to insist it's sillyl
"OH, DEAR, A FRECKLEv'
Being on this beauty subject, I
just read the rhapsodica1 outburst of
beauty editor who had discovered
magnify:ng mirror for the dress
ing table. 1t looks like any mirror
comes in amber or cream or pink or
blue or jade pearl with powder box
to match, but when you use 1t
blooey! You see all the little lines
that are coming, all the freckles, all
the moles, all the everything that
shouldn't be on the skin you love
to touch.
The beauty editor is all excited
about this discovery. To me it
savors of having one Of the carnival
Funny House" mirrors on your
dressing table. After all, the world
doesn't view ones skin through
magnifying mirror; why should the
Individual? 1t symbolizes modern
woman's exaggeration Of her own i'm
Importance.
WE'RE LOPSIDED
Some deliver after truth has dis
covered that the average woman's
face is lop-sided the right side of the
face is more developed than the left
because the right eye is used more,
which is why we see upon our streets
no symmetrical, oval faces like the
Madonnas painted by Michelangelo
and Raphael.
Lopsided or no, though, I'd stake
most any girl one meets nowadays
up against the Madonnas, and let
the fairminded public choose!
Years Greatest Woman
Miss Sara Graham ulhall has
been given the $4,000 prize awarded
annually by a woman's magazine to
that woman who has contributed
most to humanity that year. Miss
Graham-Mulhall has devoted her life
to the conquest of the drug habit.
She helped make the importation Of
heroin or opium a crime, and has
fought for special drug divisions in
police departments the country over.
1.-THE drug menace may not seem
to come very closely home to the
hundreds of thousands Of women
who will hear Of this woman's name
for the first time when the award is
announced, but it Is a nearer danger
than many of them dream. The
school children in many cities are
approached by drug vendors on their
wav to and from school.
MOST CHILDREN
That woman of Toronto, Ontario,
who gives birth to the most children
within the next ten years will re-
ceive the one million and a half es-
tate of a millionaire sportsman who
recently died in that city.
One wonders at the motive. A
slap at relatives who were smugly
awaiting his death ad mis- property?
A last joke, an outburst of ribald
mirth, as the sportsman visioned the
city's women staging their competi-
tive race for the nice, juicy prop
erty?
Or did the millionaire really believe
in large families, regardless of their
quality, believing that motherhood
of quantity only should be reward
ed? If the latter, I opine he's all
wrong. I can imagine mother of
just one child born and reared I'M
der difficult circumstances into a
high type of child, much more
worthy of the fortune than some
others Of thirty, triplets and quad
ruplets not included.
