Building a national shrine. however. is a strange
sort Of business. The places that a nation takes to
heart are not usually places that were planned in
advance as centers Of patriotic devotion. They pop
up Unexpectedly; and the affection that goes out 70

around them rather than to the expensive and i'm

II was stated at q convention q
while ago that considerably more
than two billion dollars Is spent an
nually for powder. cold cream, per-
fumes. lipsticks and other aids to
beauty and personal attraction. IL
1t is true, 1t represents q sum Of
money equal to that spent for auto
mobiles. 1t Is more than o quarter
Of the entire proceeds from the
farms Of America. 1t would pay the
national debt in a few years.
Eighteen million boxes Of rouge
and seven million dollars worth Of
hair dye were purchased by our
wives and sweethearts. All this ma
terial was used to camouflage youth
and health.
1t Is q perfectly laudable ambition
for a woman to look her best. She
isn't to be blamed for this. On the
contrary, she Is to be commended
for her decent sense Of Self-respect.
I have no objections to cosmetics
as such. Most Of them are perfect
ly harmless things. OF course.
there are certain hair dyes which
are not safe to use. But most
creams, powders and rouges are
compounded Of simple and harmless
ingredients.
The objection 7 have to cosmetics
is that they are too commonly ap-
piled as a substitute for the color
and clearness of the skin that
health guarantees. Too often they
are used to cover up defects which
the regular use Of soap and water
would remove.
Every girl wants red lips. pink
cheeks. good teeth, firm muscles,
sparkling eyes, hair Of lustre, and a
skin which Is sweet to smell and
pleasant to touch. She wants them
as a girl and, as she grows older,
she never gets yer wanting them.
When she gets past middle life she
weeps if she doe not retain them.
The chemists and beauty experts
have done wonders. They have
placed at the disposal OF the fair
sex boxes and tubes. jars and pen
ellis. all the paraphernalia to initiate
youth and vigor. So much for that!
Simple and well-choScn food.
plenty of waite to drink and for
bathing, sunlight and fresh air, ex-
ercise and regular habits-these are
the things which will GU, down the
cosmetic bill. There is no color like
the color Of red bloow showing
through the transparent skin Of
perfect health. This color comes
from no pot or tube. II Is the re-
suit Of the chemistry Of Nature
more perfect than the product Of
any human chemist, no matter how
clever he may be.
But II I we're a girl and didn't
have what Nature Is willing to give
I should contribute my share to the
two billions for cosmetics. And the
ladies-bless their dear hearts-they
will buy them anyhow.
