4 Fashion Models Diary

She Discusses a Formal afternoon Corn.
n tha how friend would stop

E WISH the boy friend would stop
getting the urge to introduce
- me to various members Of his
family. He scares me half to death
i hate being looked over and ap-
praised.
The funny thing is-at least.
Helene thinks It's funny-that he's
never popped the question" in all
the time I've known him. OF course
he says he's crazy about me and /
really believe ne is, but he makes
no plans for permanency at all.
But I keep comforting myself with
the thought hat he's only waiting
until he thinks he's making enough
money TO support me in the style
that Id like 10 be accustomed to.
Anyway, he called me up yester-
dav and told me that his sister. who
lives in the suburbs, is having a for
nal tea on Sunday and insisted that
he must bring me. / don't believe
she did at all. He Just wants to
show me off. Well. if it will make
him happy, I'll go. but I'm not ter
riblv keen about it. I'm still a SIM
pls little country girl at heart and
this sort of formal function always
scares me half to death.
And then, Of course. there's al
WAYS the troublesome question OF
what to wear. ! do want to look
nice and I do want him to be proud
Of me. And still l hate to so to
anv Expense for n afternoon.
However, I guess I'll have to.
There's a gown in the shop that Id
love TO have for this very occasion.
Perhaps if I hint hard enough. Ma
dame will let me wear 1t. 1t will be
GOOD advertising for her, anyway.
IF She doesn't fall for my sub
tlety, I guess Oracle will take her
savings and invest.
It's a very formal afternoon gown

There is no real danger in bleaching the hair,
difficulty arising only when one fails to find a

hair without giving it a straw-like appearance.
Therefore the following formula for making

This formula makes sufficient shampoo jelly

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. having Occd-.
sion to stand on the feet hours at a
time. can testify to the evil effects
Of foot defects. Tender feet, sore
corns, aching joints, ~calloused soles
all these are bad enough. Then
when these suffering feet are thrust
into tight or ill-shaped shoes. there
IS increase OF misery.
Don't neglect your poor suffering
feet. Give a little thought to your
shoes. Have them properly fitted.
Now about those corns: Do you
know that there are well-equipped
colleges where men and women are
carefully trained in foot-care? AS
applied these days this profession
has become really scientific.
II is possible to get rid Of the in
growing nails, thick corns, callouses
and the other effects Of wearing
wrong foot gear. Don't fail to give
yourself the benefit and comfort OF
such treatment.
May / remind you that It Is not
alone the shoes that must be borne
In mind? Short stockings are capable
Of doubling up the toes and causing
trouble.
Many persons pay dollars and dol
lars to have their finger nails mani
cured and never think OF caring for
their toes. Just because the fingers
show is no excuse for limiting your
care to them. You make a wreck of
yourself By permitting sore feet to
spoil your happiness.
Nerves are put or edge and health
undermined by steady pain, no mat
ter where it is located. Take care
Of your feet.

THE SPIDER IS
A HILARIOUS
MYSTERY

A sudden and highly dramatic
interruption to last nights per-
formance at the National Theater
shortly after It had gotten under
way plunged the audience into
excitement and caused the well
known pandemomium to reign
supreme. Just as the great
Chatrand, noted illusionist, was
demonstrating his skill in tele-
pathy, there was an argument in
the aisle, the house was plunged
in darkness. a revolver barked
and when light was restored one
of the spectators was found to be
mortally wounded. Police were
summoned, Inspector Riley ar
rived and took charge and the
entire house was placed under
guard with orders to permit no
person to leave the theater until
the investigation had been COM
pleted and the murderer found.
Thus is the mystery play, '"The
Spider" introduced by the Ma
tional Theater Players and a
highly exciting and decidedly un.
