ARCHITECTS IN FRANCE
TAUGHT TO SHUN DETAIL
Photographs of Work Give Ameri
can Students False Impression,
Says Educator.

Architectural students in America
usually see only Photographic reproduc-
lions of the work done in the Ecole
des Beaux Arts of Paris, and these give
them false impression Of architectural
studies abroad. says Prof. Jean Labatut
of the architectural department of
Princeton University.
photographs reduce these drawings
and make them appear much more pre-
else and detailed than they are" says
Prof. Labatut.
THE French student Is taught TO
shun detail which can be worked OUT
at the moment of execution of the
project, and to seek to express his con-
ception on large scale and in general
terms. Unless he can do this he risks
losing himself in minor and unimpor-
tant things. burying his individuality
and never contributing to the progress
of architecture in our time.
1.-The architect must be the captain
of his construction and not its second
lieutenant. He must be leader, not in
title alone, but by the breadth and
power of his vision and personality"

Correctly ironing
Frown" and Head
ache Movement.

One of the most important lessons
taught the beautician at the modern
beauty school deals with the necessity
of facial massage. She learns very early
in her course that massage Is one OF the
most successful means OF aiding the
lymphatics to dispose of waste matter.
But great deal of practice is required
before a massage can be administered
correctly.
Although electrical massage machines
are in vogue now, every beauty operator
learns to follow the smile lines" with
her own fingers before she ever oper-
ateS a machine Standing nenlnd her
patron she begins by applying the colo
cream.
The cream is taken from the jar with
q Spatula and placed In the palm OF the
left hand, and is carefully applied TO
the face in little dabs. She begins I'M
der the chin and dabs along the jaw
bone to the ear, then from between the
lips and chin upward to the Jawbone
and on up to the ear, using tne middle
finger of the right hand.
From the ear the cream Is applied up
to the temple. Beginning again at the
center of the face, this time she dots
the cream up to the inside corner OF the
eye and down the nose, and finally from
the nose up to the temple again and
across the forehead.
When the application of cream is fin-
ished the massage may be started. Let
us suppose, for the sake Of simplicity
in explanation, that you are giving such
a treatment.
Place the middle fingers on the CEN
ter Of the forehead at the hairline and

peated six times.
ironing the frown" comes next. For
this you follow the eyebrows outward,
first placing the fingers above the hose
and at right angles with it. Massage
alternately toward the hairline of the
temple, making little circles as before.
Another part Of a regular massage
is the headache movement. You place
your left hand on the forehead and
cover 1t with the right hand. Then pull
the hands apart slowly until the index
niger strikes the temple hollow, turn
ing the fingers until they are above the
thumb. Push the fingers gently under
the eyes, first with the left hand and
then with the right, repeating the move
ment six times.
The next movement is to place the
thumb and the third fingers below the
mouth, index finger at the "cupid's
bow" of the lips, letting the fingers
move toward the ear, rotating on the
ear six times. Then push the index
finger and second finger toward the
chin along the jawbone, separating on
each side of the jawbone..
Pmching finishes this type of facial
massage. It Is done over the area of
the entire cheek, using the thumb and
bent index finger. AL the pinching
movements are upward across the
cheeks.

Swedish Sandwich
Board for Supper

If you want to serve buffet supper
by way of refreshments at an evening
party, you might adopt the plan of
arranging a Swedish sandwich board.
In Sweden 1t is customary, in private
houses, as well as in hotels, to have
what is known as the sandwich board
set up as the preliminary to a dinner
or when informal refreshments Of any
sort are desired.
A large table or buffet at one side
of the dining room will answer the pur-
pose and following the Swedish Gus
tom there should be plates piled with
q variety of sliced breads. There
should be rye bread, whole wheat bread,
pumpernickel, and the crisp unleav-
ened bread which the Swedes call
knacklebrot. This you may not be
able to obtain, but crisp matzos which
can be bought in tins at the grocer's
will answer the purpose.
There should be plates and small
napkins for the guests, and plates con-
tanning butter-both salt and unsalted.
Also bread and butter knives for the
guests to use in spreading their bread
and, most important, plates containing
all sorts of good things to be used as
filling for sandwiches.
Among the things usually found at
the Swedish sandwich board are caviar,
anchovies, herrings, sliced cold ham,
sliced cold pork, sliced onions. chicken
aspic and vegetable aspic. To a Selec-
ton of these dainties the American
hostess might add sliced tomatoes,
minced chicken, or a chicken salad
mixture, sliced cheese and various
cheese mixtures ready to be spread on
the sandwiches, sliced sausage and
crisp lettuce.
To make the feast complete there
should be urns of hot coffee or hot
chocolate, with cold punch for those
who wish it,

entirely new aspect when you see it de-

Usually brown is combined with other
shades of brown or with beige. A suit

stockings and brown hat may be usual
this season, but 1t certainly is not COM

Two-Piece Suits
In Rainy Weather

With the ensemble idea dominant
throughout the wardrobe, we should ex-
pect to find it carried out in our rainy
day clothes. Hats, umbrellas, shoes, and
even bags, can be bought, all to match
the raincoat. And the effect gives that
well-thought- look that is so essen
tial factor In the appearance OF the
we'll groomed woman OF today.
Even when it Is not practical TO buy
rainy day things as an ensemble, 1t Is
often possible to harmonic them so
that they give very much the same Ell
feet. Hats of raincoat material are
snug-fitting with brims that may be
turned back or down to shed the rain,
and they are, of course. rubberized so
that the umbrella may be discarded.
There are tweed or jersey berets which,
although not rubberized, will not be
ruined by the rain.
Bags may be bought to match tweed
hats and galoshes, too, come In tweed
effects.
The umbrellas that have O special
link-up with the raincoats are all small
and stubby. The handles vary, as they
do with umbrellas Of every kind, but the
animal heads are clever. One OF the
newest umbrellas has the strap handle
attached to the ferrule so that 1t can
easily be hung over the wrist. Umbrel-
las of brown or purple appear to be
newer than those of red or green, out
like the other accessories they should
match the dominant color Of the cos
tune.

Candies for the
Bridge Party

Some of the shops designate certain
candies as bridge candies. The name is
given to candies that are good to look
at as well as to taste, and that, more
over, are not sticky to touch. 1t is
very dificult, for instance, to eat soft
fudge while you are playing cards, for
1t is almost sure to make the fingers
sticky. And the same thing is true
about some other kinds of cano cs.
Those delicious, hard-cream candies
are a good choice for the card tables
Newport creams, they are sometimes
called. They come in different colors
and flavors, and are not at all sticky.
Then there are bonbons in futed paper

" VERY new season OF IaS1IOu HAS
l. its own characteristic treatment
of color, just as 1t has DEFINITE
IL line that is distinctly its own.
A dress is often dated by its
color or color combination quite as dis
tinctly as it Is by the placing Of the
waist line or the length and contours OF
the skirt.
BY this time almost every woman has
learned the outstanding facts of the new
silhouette, and whether she likes the
new longer skirts and more definitely
nodded figure or not she must have
come to feel that they are new and
smart and, in so far as they are new and
smart, also desirable. But she may not
have come to as clear an understand
ing of the new colorS. Her sense OF line
in the new fashions may be more clearly
defined than her sense of color in FASH
ion. If she is planning to buy anything
new, and especially if she is planning TO
make clothes at home, she should have
certain facts about the SmartneSs Of
certain .colors clearly in view.
One thing that has struck me con-
corning this seasons new clothes is that
there has been less effort than usual to
present new shades and new color COM
binations. There is always some effort
less this season than usual I think-to
attract attention by means of colors and
tones that look new. And since 1t is
physically impossible to devise colors
which actually are new, what the i'm
portant French dressmakers usually do
Is to revive some shade that Is striking
because 1t has not recently been used to
any great extent.
This often means that they seize upon
some one of the shades that are natu-
rally less becoming and less pleasing
than most shades, simply for the sake OF
striking the note of novelty.
On shades and between shades are
thus often revived. Mustard color, perl
Wrinkle. fIichsia, chartreuse are colors
that have recently been brought into
prominence in some such way.
THIS season there seems to have been
little effort to seize upon the exotic
note in colors, but rather concerted
effort on the part of dressmakers to
make the more generally accepted colors
appear to advantage. All the warmer
tones of brown have been brought to the
fore, and practically all of these shades
are generally becoming. The element Gf
novelty has been achieved by means Of
the novel aspect Of the materials in

face to the world, gabardine serving
as lining and trimming, or just the
reverse. There are also separate Innings
of gabardine which may be snapped on
or detached as the weather may de-
mand.
Then there are good-looking coats OF
heavy MORE. poplin, satin or crepe de
chine which are invariably double
breasted and trimmed in the same fab
ric. Various ingenious ideas are intro
duced in fashioning these coats, al
though the straight lines are always
retained and they are made large
enough to slip over the suit If desired.
Coats of the lighter silks, such as
Jap silk and the lighter weights OF crepe
de chine, can be folded into an envelope
of the same silk and securely fastened
with a slide fastener. AS they are small
and light IL is a very simple matter
to slip them in the pocket Of the car
or the brief case.
