M CORMACK IS
IN fine VOICE

John Mccormack, the noted Irish
tenor. completely recovered from
the Tickling in the throat which
compelled him to disappoint radio
audience on Friday night. arrived
in Washington last night.
The singer came here on the
Congressional Limited because he
did not care to risk a cold by a
night ride on the Pullman. Il
was never in better voice than
right now said Mccormack at the
hotel Willard. my little indisposi-
ton has passed and / am look
ing forward to fine concert"
He will sing at the Washington
Auditorium tonight for the bene-
fit of the Shrine of the Immaculate
Conception.
Mr.. Mccormack said his profess
sional calendar was so crowded
that he would be unable to fill
his postponed radio engagement
until May.
He explained that while he was
distressed to be forced to forego
singing over the radio because of
the disappointment to his unseen
audience he was personally deeply
embarrassed because his apartment
at 27O Park Ave-, New York, was
filled with his intimate friends for
a radio party.
1t was too late to recall invita-
tions when he discovered that his
doctor would not permit him to risk
singing and so Prince Christopher
of Greece, Mr.. and Mrs. Fritz
Kreisler, Mrs. Dorothy Caruso, Nine.
Jeritza, Lucrezit Bori. Antonio
Scott, Lord William Taylour, Mr..
and Mrs. Deems Taylor, Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Stransky. Anna Case
and the other noted guests arrived
to find their host would not be
heard in the special radio receiver
installed in the Mccormack apart
ment. - s
Thus the scheduled radio con-
cert was converted into a radio
dance. Wounded veterans from the
Naval Hospital will be guests to-
night.

show off before the inspectors to
good advantage. If they are out

there is not a room In the present

Couture for Small Face.

Dear Miss Leeds: % / have small
face and my hair is bobbed and natur-
ally wavy. How shall dress It? az
Is there any other way to redden the
cheeks besides using rouge2 Is rouge
harmful to the skin? (3) How can
gain weight? a. How can I make
myself popular with boys and girls?
j. M.
Answer: ID Since your face is small
you may wear your hair brushed
straight back from your forehead and
temples. Wet it well after combing it
smooth, and push it forward so that
1t will fall into natural waves. Wear
your side hair short and fluffy. with the
lobes Of your ear showing. You may
have single curl in the middle Of your
forehead and one In front of each ear.
of beet juice; cut a beat and rub in on
your cheeks. 1t Is, Of course, much
better to cultivate a natural color in
your cheeks. Your palenesS may be
due to underweight, so build yourself
up by eating plenty Of nouriShing food.
exercising outdoors every day and
sleeping nine or ten hours each night.
A temporary flush may be brought to
the cheeks by bathing them In hot and
cold water alternately several times.
The regular use of rouge on young
skins tends to coarsen and wither them.
80 Please send a stamped, self-ad
dressed envelope for my instructions
on gaining weight, which include diet
suggestions a. Think what qualities
in others attract you, such as good ma
ture, unselfishness, reliability and gen.
erosity, and try to cultivate them.
Most girls who are unpopular are so
because they are self-centered and
quick to think and speak evil of others.
Be fair to others, be thoughtful of
their comfort. be jolly and be kind in
thought, word and deed. Dress neatly
and becomingly and have good man
ners. In order to have friends you must
act in friendly way. Go out of your
way to do friendly, helpful things, and
never be catty, LOIS LEEDS.
Curing Bad Habits.
Dear Miss Leeds: What would you
suggest to free a man from a bad
habit. such as smoking? w. T. N.
Answer: 1t is often a good plan
when breaking bad habit to do it
gradually. Smoke one less cigarette or
cigar each day until you are smoking
one, then stop altogether 1t is very
important to keep your mind occupied
with other interests; keep busy, so
that you will not have time to think
how much you want smoke. think
that interest in nature and outdoor life
is one of the best antidotes for bad
habits and autosuggestion is great aid
in building or breaking up habits Be-
