THE BEAUTY
BOX
BY Helen FOIIett-

There exists at the present
time a poisonous, night-bloon-
ing beauty. You will find it in
the wee sma' hours at the caba-
rets of all big cities. Girls with
too much rouge covering COM
plexions that are not clear and
healthy because of late hours
and the bad air of dancing
places. Girls with frocks cut
too low at the back to be pretty
and girls who writhe around,
serpentine fashion when they
walk. Placed beside them q
fresh, lovely, wholesome girl
looks like a goddess.
Small red lines in the face
are caused by ruptured capil-
laries. The banks of the tiny
blood streams give way and
spread. Women thus afflicted
are usually heavy eaters or take
too much highly seasoned food
or dishes too rich with sauces.
There is not much to be done
about them, since the capil-
larieS cannot be forced to shrink
back to natural dimensions,
though Skilful electrolysiS oper-
atorS manage to make them less
noticeable by means of the cleo
trio needle.
What has become Of the
baby stare and the dimpled
chin? They're gone! The doll
baby type was the last Of the
clinging ivy clan, and it is no
more. Lies activities change
human portraits. The girl who
is out to bring home the bacon,
who knows to a day when the
rent comes due, is developing
strong features, an aggressive
chin and a courageous eye. A
lot Of time she has to do the
baby stare! Let us be thank
full. A real she woman never
looks upon the baby-doll cutie
without wanting to give her
face a ladylike push.
An Objectionable breath
should not be tolerated. There
is cause for it and the cause
should be discovered and cor.

be the result of infected tonsils.

MeUer Give Up Your Work

forced to do your best will
breed in you temperance, self.
control. diligence, strength Of
will. content, and a hundred
other virtues which the idle
never know"
And George Bernard Shaw
has something to say about
work:
Work is the mission of man
kind on this earth. A day is
ever struggling forward, a day
will arrive in some approximate
ing degree when he who has no
work to do, by whatever name
he may be called, will not find
it good to show himself in our
quarter of the solar system, but
may go and look out elsewhere
If there be any idle planet dis
coverable. Let all honest work
ers rejoice that such law, the
first of nature. has been recog-
nized by name"

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am much in love with q
boy three years my senior, I
am eighteen.
We have gone together for
Two years and enjoy each
Others company immensely.
Now he has asked me to marry
him.
II have hesitated for three
reasons: He at one time had
very poor reputation. How
ever now he has built it UP
considerably and keeps very
good company.
1.-TWO: His financial means
are limited. To have the things
I would want in a home I
would have to get job.
"AS for myself, I live at home
with my parents. They object
to my going with this boy, and
If they knew I was contempla-
ting marriage-dear knows!
1T have lots of friends Of
both sexes, and am considered
very popular. But love this
boy, and only him. Neverthe-
less, I'm afraid that if I mar
ried him difficulties might
arise as they sometimes will,
in later years, and I might feel
q little bit ashamed of his for
mer life. When a girl has gone
with a fellow as long as I have
two years-and still thinks
that If he turned her down
she would want to die, isn't this
q pretty good sign of true love?
Please, please help me. I thank
YOU"
I will gladly do all I can, my
dear, to help you work out your
problem. Two years of init.
mate companionship are, in
deed, a test of love.
At the same time, you are
very young at Is, to undertake
the burdens of marriage, and I
urgently advise you to wait.
An engagement of between one
and two years will give you
time to prove to yourself that
your fiance has permanently
given up wild ways. Also, that
interval will give him time to
save for his home and yours.
Most important of all, it will
give both of you the oppor-
tunity to win your parents to
your way Of thinking.
You will have to let them
know, sooner or later, will YOU
not, that you are planning this
marriage. Then you will have
to face their objections. Natu-
rally, they wish to be very sure
that their daughter will be
well cared for and safe, when
when she marries. It is right
and wise that they, and you
should be sure, before you
marry, that the young man who
is to be your husband Is in

Flowers Still Bloom on our
dresses. Paris is showing eve
ming frocks of chiffon lame in
lovely floral patterns. One s>ch
model is a silver lame with a
floral design in lavender and
rose shades. 1t has a bolero
which repeats the dipping line
of the skirt. The front is
Shirred to form Slight drapery
at the natural waistline and the
back decolletage is very deep.
Blue Heaven isn't so hard to
attain when one wears the

Work! Where does it get
you? Telling, day in, day out
grinding chasing around in
a squirrel cage. I'd love a little
idleness-never to see the job
again"
I heard a woman say it,
passing me on the street. A
fine, courageous type Of woman;
no stamp Of the gutter about
her-only WEAKNESS, impotence
with monotony.
eN all stumble into this
slump now and again. No maj
ter how much we like the work
no matter how keen the realiza-
ton that we would be miSer-
able without it. we find it
Impossible always to keep a
high Heart.
For we would be miserable
without work! Without activ-
ity which means progress for
ourselves, something added to
the sum of advancement for
the world generally.

when you get UP that you have

Small Washing Machines

clothes receive a real washing
in this way instead Of the half
hearted wash that so often re-
suits when the wash-bowl
method prevails.
Where there are baby's tiny
garments to wash daily, one Of
these small machines will prove
most useful. With little effort,
baby's wash comes out sweet and
clean, and there is no feeling
that once week the clothes
should go through q regular
wash because they were not done
thoroughly each day, for in this
way they are.
In the home where there is
large, fully equipped laundry
and daily laundry work, the
small machine saves time. It
takes care Of smalfarticles while.
the larger machine is washing
larger pieces, and when a few
articles are needed in a hurry
the small machine can take care
Of these.
When the bulk Of the washing
goes to a commercial laundry
the small machine fits in, for it
takeS care of all the articles that
are usually done by hand. If q
large article like a tablecloth is
needed in a hurry, this, too, can
be washed in q small machine,
for these machines aren't linn
tied entirely to washing small
articles. They will do efficient
washing on larger pieces, but Of
course only a few Of these can
be done at a time.

Fruit Vinegars
Old FavOriteS

This old-fashioned foundation for
cooling beverage is very worth while
putting up. and few bottles of rasp-
berry or some other vinegar will bring
a great deal of refreshment throughout
the year. Just add cold water and
serve-that is all there is to the Serv-
ing of vinegars. More or less cool
water, according to the strength OF the
vinegar, and shaved lee or orange peel
or mint leaves for attractiveness.
Black eurrant vinegar-To 4 pounds
Of the ripe fruit use three pints Of
mild vinegar; let IL stand three days,
stirring occasionally: then squeeze and
strain the fruit. Boil 10 minutes and

Here Are Hints
For Jam Maker
weigh the fruit and sugar.


Prepare the fruit as is necessary,
carefully rejecting any that Is unsound.
Spread the sugar on large dishes,
and warm either on the plate-rack or
In q cool oven.
Put several layers Of newspaper on
the kitchen table.
See that the jars are clean, dry and
heated.
Have an enamel mug, or kitchen
soup ladle, ready to transfer the hot
jam TO the heated Jars.
AS soon as the jars are Allied, wipe
the outside with q cloth wrung out In
hot water.
Cover the Jars with q clean, dry
cloth and leave till the contents are
quite cold.
When the jars are cold, put on what
ever tops you are using. Put them on
properly, whatever they are. One Of
the best ways Is to pour melted par
anime or some similar preparation over
the top of the jam and, when this has
hardened, put on metal cap to the
jar.
Write the name Of the jam on q
sticker, with the date Of the year and
IL you wish to, the estimate cost Of each
Jar of jam and paste 1t on the Jar
Then-put the jam away fer the Win

Ensembles Worn
For Each Hour

The ensemble idea Is carried out with
many variations in the new clothes.
There is the two or three piece en-
semble for the street, for one thing. A
one -piece frock with q three-quartef-
length or full-length coat; or skirt,
blouse and Jacket.
Then there is the beach or sports
ensemble. One of these consists of
heavy uncleached cotton for the trou-
sers, short-sleeved tucked-in skirt, and
long -sleeved coat, lined with cretonne.
There IS most effective ensemble for
beach wear consisting Of black silk
crepe, wtde-ankled pajanas, a sleeve
less, tuck-in blouse Of white crepe, and
a coat of some color-tangerine, egg
shell, Chinese blue.
Another ensemble fer sports or the
beach consists of white shantung pa
Iarnas and shirt and bright shantung
coat of red, yellow or green.
Then there are ensembles Tor night
wear. consisting of grown and matching
bed jacket, or patanas and bed Jacket
the paiarna tops, of course, without
sleeves when there is bed jacket to
match.
Some of the sports ensembles consist
Of a blouse in one piece with shorts,
to be used for tennis, and skirt and
jacket to put on over them after the
game.
Evening ensembles consist Of sleeve
less frock and jacket Of lace or georg-
cite that transforms the frock into one
suitable for dinner or the afternoon.

japanese Homes
Safe for Babies

American mothers might learn some
thing about caring fer their children
from the little mothers of far-oh Japan.
When necessary mother can go about
her work, leaving a toddling child in a
room by himself without the slightest
cause for anxiety. Because there is
nothing in the room by which he could
possibly hurt himself.
There are no beds or cribs to fall
of frem-his own resting place con-
sisting of Q few layers Of mating on
the floor. There are no chairs to run
against, because adults as well as chill
dren In Japan sit On the floor. There
are no ornaments to break because
ornaments are used very sparingly IN
Japan, anyway, and the room where the
child Is kept is Sleft quite bare.
Our children's rooms are more often
planned with a view to cur ewn con-
venience than that of our children.
Certainly they are very seldom arranged
with a view of helping children take
care of themselves. More than half the
bureau drawers are out of reach of the
little person whose clothes they con-
tain. Hooks in the closets are where
he could not possibly reach them for
himself and even the mirror in his
bureau Is usually 30 high that he can
see 1t enly by climbing on chair for
that purpose. -
There must be something decidedly
restful about living on the floor as
japanese people do. Sleeping on a
piece of mating on the floor must seem
rather hard until you grow used to It,,
but at least there is the satisfaction
of knowing that you cannot possibly
roll out of bed.

Camouflaging Phones

The telephone screen Is easily made
and Is very artistic. The hardest part
of the making is to get q suitable
frame. One can be made by q wire
worker, but II one be not at hand,
yeu might buy tive small bread toast
ers, cut the handles and some Of the

together with ribbon.
Now take a piece Of China silk-am-

Perhaps you will hnd 1t easier In fas-

Featured ColOrs
Best in Details

There is, to be sure, some satisfaction
gained from wearing the featured eelors
and shades, providing they are becom-
ing. One should bear always In mind,
however, that these exploited colers
usually suffer from overpopularity and
before short season has passed they
are commonplace rather than distinc-
tive.
For this reason the wise thing Is to
make use of them In connection with a
dress, hat. scarf or ether set Of access

rather than te base the entire seasons
wardrobe on them.
The more substantial items Of the
wardrobe, things that are likely to be
worn throughout the season, are more
suitably chosen in some neutral or per-
manent shade-beige, brown, gray, navy
blue, black or white-while the more
striking new color may be used In the
guise eff little hat, purse or scarf that
may be east aside when the freshness

Serve Orange Salad
In Orange Skins

An attractive way to serve Q fruit
salad containing orange is to put the
fruit mixture In q scooped-eut half
orange skin and to place this in q bed
of crisp lettuce leaves. The orange
skins should. of course, be very thor-
oughly washed before this is done.
Here are some good fruit salad COM
hinations containing grange:
Sections Of orange and grapefruit,
broken into quarters, served with thin
strips Of pimente with French dressing.
Orange sections broken into quarters,
with French dressing and sprinkling
of chopped fresh mint leaves.
Orange and grapefruit and chopped
olives with few drops of lemon juice,
served with InayennaiSe,
Orange pulp with crisp lettuce leaves
cut into tiny pieces some shredded
blanched almonds, with French or may
onnsise dressing.

be hidden by q bit of gilt gimp. You
may gum narrow gimp all around the
borders Of the frame, If you wish,
but better way will be to crease q
wider gimp down the middle with an
iron so that 1t will stay put" and to
catch 1t in place here and there.
In this way 1t will be held more
firmly and there will be no danger
of smearing paste on your carefully
covered screen. For Q final touch q
black silhouette large enough to form
an important decorative feature Is
gummed to the full silk front
These silhouettes can be bought cor
you can outline q design which pleases
you On black paper and cut IL out and
gum 1t to the silk.
OF course, it will only "hit the high
places" but it will hold its place never
theless and give q surprising snap and
dash TO the whole.
Instead of Q silhouette. another such
screen was adorned with the upper
part Of the body of a doll, which was
attached to the center of the middle
panel. She was deliberately dressed,
melting almost imperceptibly into the
silken covers of the screen by means
of panniers of the same color. Loops
of gold cord across the tops Of the
panels added further decoration.
