AMERICAN WOMEN FAILURES
IN MAKE-UP-GANNA WALSKA
R,U United Press

LW I UfIfU PTCS8
PARIS, Dec. 30-American women
never have advanced beyond the
kindergarten age in the science Of
feminine makeup, in the opinion of
Nine Gamma Walska Mccormick,
prima donna and parfumiere, Of
Chicago and Paris.
American women actually paint
face on top of their faces, ard few
of them are good enough artists to
improve on the original" Nine
WalSka said.
II feel like spanking the 18-year-
old American girls whom I see take
out their lipsticks and, in front of
everybody in the theater or
restaurant, put another pair of lips
on top of their own. That appears
to be their life work, their greatest
worry.
But those women should know
that men don't like to kiss greasy
lips, and that no man can eX-
press his deep devotion by kissing
the backs of hands. In the first
place, American women rarely need
any makeup. The American girl
is far more beautiful than the
French, but after they get through
with their toilet, the French girl is
far more attractive
1T is simple to make up, for
makeup is to help nature and not
to change it. Instead of shaving off
the eyebrows, just to draw a pencil
line, it would be better to use the
pencil just to point up the eye
brows. The same way, only an
American girl should resort to the
lipstick, and the use of rouge should
be confided to the days when a
woman is feeling tired.
'The American woman knows lit
tie about perfumes, and sometimes
it is terrible to sit beside them in
warm theater, even as terrible as
to sit beside some of these European
men who cover themselves with rose
water. Both are simply displaying
their absurd lack of taste.
"a blonde woman should use deli
cate perfume, lily of the valley and
leave for TIE brunette chypre and
lemon.

Woman s Day
BY ALLENE SUMNER

Hotels dread, womens conven-
tons, for it means they'll lose thou
sands of towels and spoons. This
is just one interesting revelation
from Russell Keith, manager of the
Statler Hotel in Cleveland, Ohio,
who says that any large hotels an
nual loss in towels alone runs to
several thousand dollars yearly, and
that the depredations on silver,
sheets, towels and even blankets at
the time Of woman's convention
are shocking.

How about some new woman's
club organized for The Prevention
OF Hotel Theft?" They might pass
a resolution at the time of their
yearly conventiIl that no member
in good standing may swipe spoons
and towels at the convention. Sc
riously, it's not fair at all that those
OF us who don't steal spoons and
towels should have to pay for those
who do. And we do pay. Hotel
managers frankly state that this
