BEAUTY CHATS
Eliminating Bad Points.

It is possible nowadays to do miracu-
lous things In hiding bad points In your
personal appearance. For instance,
have you thought Of these things?
II you have large hands, do you al
ways wear very large cuffs on all your
clothes, or do you wear sleeves SO long
that they come far over the wrist. al
most half way between the bones Of the
wrist and the fingers? Either one of
these tricks completely DISCUSSES the
size. For sleeveless dresses try SubSti-
tuting a large bracelet on each arm.
fairly loose. SO they come well down
over the wrists.
II you have thin shoulders. do you
know that the most becoming neckline
for your evening dresses is a deep u
shape front and back. This allows you
broad to hide all the hollows In the
shoulders.
II you are either too thin or too stout
around the arms and shoulders, take
advantage of the new style Of dinner or
informal evening dress. which has
sleeves and often a shallow yoke Of
transparent chiffon the same color as
the dress. These dresses are usually
black or fairly dark.
If you are pale. do you know that
you can give an impression OF having
color simply by the colors you wear?
You must choose very warm shades,
grays that are almost brown. soft
browns which have plenty of yellow in
them, beige which has plenty OF rose,
clear blues with not too much gray in
them. You must also make use Of red,
but this is a very tricky color. for too
bright a red Is unbecoming and too
much red, oddly enough. Is rather dis
NAL. Your red should be good blue
red-rose red. that is, rather than brick
red.
There are a hundred ways Of disguis-
ing bad features. chiefly through the
way the hair is dressed. should adj
wise you to go once and be trimmed by
a good hairdresser. mad keep to that
style.
E.V. D., Self Conscious, M. S.-The
electric needle used for each hair is the
most satisfactory method of destroying
superfluous hair. When the work Is
done this way, only such hairs as are
conspicuous will be treated. and all the
others are left alone. There will never
be any scars or coarSened pores If the
work Is done by skilled person. Never
allow any other kind of treatment than
the best, as you can always get on for
yourself by using tweeZers on them
whenever any of them grow out far
enough for you to get grasp on them.
Peroxide applied to the finer hairs
will keep them from showing, and the
chances are that the frequent bleach
ings will weaken them so they will cease
to grow after a time.
Louise-A girl who is feet inches
in height at "a years of age should
weigh about 125 pounds. although few
pounds less would not be considered be-
low normal. If you build up your
weight your thighs will not bestoo thin
and the needed or 10 pounds will not
make you appear too stout in any one
place: in fact. hardly change your lines

thin places on your body.

taste and preference and will. there

Your Mind.

The mind and the brain. substations
In the nervous system and the recelV-
ing kit of senses, with a sending outfit
of muscles, has often been compared
to a telephone exchange. It's good
comparison so far as it goes, but it
does not go far enough; for it takes
too little account OF who sends the
messages, and what is in them, and
who receives them and what he does
when he gets them.
There wouldn't be any telephone ex-
change If it weren't that people have
messages to send; that's the important
fact, and the rest is just machinery.
A far better comparison is newspaper
Office and plant, and that's what Sir
Arthur Keith, famous British scientist,
compares it to. Newspapers exist be-
cause they have something to say, and
the same applies to the human brain
and it's equipment, and there is thinking
in both cases behind the saying.
First of course is the physical plant;
the printing presses for the one, the
body for the other. No mind without
a body; no paper without plant. Let
there be a breakdown there and the
whole works are affected. But back
of that is the need of communication;
things are happening and we want to
know about them; hence newspapers.
Things are happening inside OF us and
we want to tell about them, and do
something about them, too.
Every part of the body, including
the brain, needs a proper blood sup
ply; that keeps the tissues active. A
newspaper must have readers. A poor
circulation is serious matter for
either the body or the newspaper.
The reporters are the senses, all eyes
and ears, and with a nose for news.
FTI,ovy bring in the SlInnIipS and Keen
the mind In touch with the big world
outside. The network of the nervous
system has its counterpart in the great
network of wires and wireless that puts
a girdle round the earth. But all that
has to be written up and made into
messages for other eyes.
The muscles do the work. The news
Sust be digested and food converted
