Beauty for the Eyes.

The slntan type Of makeup seems to
be continuing into the Autumn season.
with its advent this Summer milady
found that another addition had been
made to her beauty problems. At first
she wondered why with this style of
makeup her eyes appeared duller and
her brows and lasheS seemed paler than
when she used natural or pink-and-
white face powders. For it is q fact
that the darker shades of powder have
a tendency to make the eyes look less
bright and the eyelashes and brows
lighter. So now little more attention
must be given to grooming the little
hairs in the vicinity of the eyes.
There is nothing which adds more
loneliness to face than a pair of clear,
expressive eyes. Unfortunately, one
cannot change the natural eye color be-
cause it does not please ones fancy, but
since the condition Of the eyelids, lashes
beauty as eve color, the attractiveneSs
and appeal Of the eyes themselves may
be greatly enhanced by simple beauty
treatments.
This is why grooming OF laSheS and
eyebrows should not be neglected. II
the hairs are so light that they do not
give a definite accent of color to the
face they detract greatly from the
beauty of the eyes. The remedy IN TINS
case is to use an eyebrow pencil OF
mascara to darken the tiny hairs.
If the eyebrows are scanty as well as
pale in color they may be brushed every
day with an oily lotion, such as the
following: One ounce castor OIL, Two
drains glycerin. one ounce olive OIL, tWo
ounces cologne water, ten drops OIL OF
hercamot. Use a small eyebrow brush

Diet Made Easy.

The way Of the fat woman who
wants to reduce is being made easier
and easier. Methods have been found
to make gluten bread with half the
amount of starch in 1t that ordinary
bread has, which can be bought already
baked, put up in cans so it keeps. Also
butter has been produced containing
no fat. If some one would invent q
method now of removing starch from
potatoes the fat woman would have no
trouble at all in reducing.
II you cannot get these mountaineering
foods, you will just have to reduce your
ration. You can always substitute
gluten bread for ordinary white bread
or whole wheat or bran bread. These
are healthier, although their calorie
content is not so much less than white
bread. A slice of rye bread is about
IS calories, whole wheat 10, white
bread 100. However, whole wheat and
rye bread usually come in smaller
loaves, so the ordinary slice Is not so
large. If you can't get the reducing
butter which contains no fat, would
advise you to try the stunt we prac-
ticed during the war when we were
all saving foods. This was to take q
pound of butter, put 1t in jar with
a pint of milk and beat the two until
the butter took up all the milk and
became two pounds of butter. The
caloric value of two pounds of butter
is only a little more than the former
caloric value of one pound of butter
therefore, the fat woman may butter
her bread very lightly with this new
butter with an easy conscience, since

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, october 10
CN.AN.A.).-when fashion put the new

portioned limbs.

Despite flowing lines and extravagant
fabrics, the new mode Is decidedly gen.

In the colony is doubtful. Long, grace.
full draperies are outlandish with fuzzy
white -hennaed hair. Titan rtnglets
of the brief beaded shifts of yesteryear.
One of the strangest sights Hollywood
has ever given to the world was an
official glimpse Of its leaders In 1890
frockS at the latest opening. One had
not associated Bessie Love with the dig
nifty of an ankle-length skirt which
swept the ground behind her. BeSsie's
blond hair was , worn as OF yore: she
looked like little girl carrying around
q whole lot of material and not quite
knowing what to do with it.
There was Eleanor Boardman, curls
on shoulder and makeup, less lengthy
and ripply frock; Marion Davies in de-
mure white chiffon, frosted with dia-
monds and Just missing the floor all
around; Mary Brian, looking like little
girl playing grown-up.
Lilyan Tashman's trailing black fish,
net frock missed that old-time look and
took on the sophisticated flow of lines
gowns this year are intended to reveal.
Kay JohnSon's narrow hips and rangy
figure exemplified the new idea per-
fectly in white satin gown whose only
claim to ornament was its singular cut
and artfully designed draperies.
While brave souls affect the tweed
mode, those more fully identified with
the village spirit are wearing soft little
velvet frocks these Autumn days.
Last year these were Alencon trim

but the opened necks reveal o great

A Weather Report,

If it were not for the weather there
would be far less conversation in the
world. It's the first thing we talk about,
and when we can't think Of anything
else to say we remark: 'It isn't the heat
but the humidity" The funny part OF
it is that everybody knows in advance
what we have to say.
Every person is sort of weather
man, every home weather bureau. We
are all sensitive to the changes which
take place in the air and are probably
more affected than we realize or our
words indicate. Weather is both con-
dition of the atmosphere and a state
Of mind.
How would it be if, instead of talking
so much about cit" when we say "it is
raining or sit is cold" or sit will be
warmer tomorrow" we were to say
something about the state Of weather
within our hearts?
There are some people of whom it
might be said sit is showing in their
souls" Indeed, I know a man who is
perpetual blizzard. Or we might
speak of delightful person as one who
Is always fairer and warmer than 9TH
erS about her. Then there are some
wonderful folks in whose hearts of help
fulnesS the air blows with the steadi-
ness and strength of trade winds.
OF course, there are the stormy peo-
pie, In whose hearts bad weather can
blow up out of clear sky, and then
those cloudy peoplet How they cast
shadows over the whole bunch when
they heave in sightl They make the
weather man tired.
The weather in the skies Of woman
hood has undergone great change in
recent years. Perhaps we do not know
Just when the winds shifted and began
to blow the short skirt the way it had
tied the long one in knots, or when it
coQuetted with the permanent wave the
way 1t had made mess of long hair.
It may have been just before the
Great War when the beginning was
made. Certainly great changes have
taken place since the doughboys crawled
up out of the trenches and came home.
But the change Is here now, all right,
so that We enjoy a kind of breezy
weather which gave our mothers ut
until they got into 1t and trimmed
their sails accordingly.
don't want to preach any too much,
but it seems to me that we ought to be
prepared for storms In the new sky of
womanhood, where fresh winds are
springing up in new quarters. Men
have crossed the ocean in boat fit
only for a lake, and here's fellow who
sailed around the world in sloop.
Maybe that's what we are trying to
do with our new freedom under new
skies with their novel weathers When
a girl sets sail with the idea that she
is free to smoke and pet and drink and
all that, she's as safe as one Of these
fellows out in the Atlantic in an open
boat.

Everyday Psychology
BIZ DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Nervous Peonle.

No less an authority on psychology
than Dr. Sigmund Freud of Vienna says
that nervous people are prompt about
Keeping their appointments. II 20.
nervousness is not without its compen-
sations in this world of hustle and &C
ton.
If there be any one human frallty or
strength depending on the way you
look at it, that marks individual differ
ences among people, nervousness ID the
name for it. II Freud is correct In his
statement, we have at least one sure
way Of sizing up people. At any rate,
nervousness Is his speciality, and ne
should know what he is talking about.
What is the cause Of nervousness?
The average normal human being Is
equipped with a frightfully complex
system Of nerve cells, commonly called
nerves, scientifically called neurones.
Each one of US If nature has been IAN
in her distribution of endowments, pos
sesses something like dozen million
of these delicate structures. Tney are
all hooked up as system BY stun more
delicate structures called "oenoritee
and APPROPRIATIONS" which are so min
ute that one must use microscope 70
see them at all.
The theory is that in the case OF
nervousness the dendrites and arborim-
lions are more than ready 70 90 tnen
duty of transmitting nervous impulses
from muscle to brain, and from brain
back 10 muscle again. So the nervous
persons mechanism works faster than
| that of the normal person. Those VINO
are nervous are therefore set for action
on the slightest provocatton. THAT'S
why they are noted for keeping ap-
pointments on time.
Very nervous people are more than
prompt. They are always little ahead
| of time. They keep their watcneS
about 5 minutes fast. They anticipate
coming events.
