MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS.

There is no doubt that the modern
woman grows constantly more fasttdi-
GUS. She Is not satisfied with beautiful
costumes, but she must also have
beautiful accessories. attractive TO the
most minute detail. She is careful not
only about her figure, but about her
hair, teeth, throat, hands, face and
makeup.
To be thoroughly in the vogue today,
a woman must not only use cosmetics
adapted to her type but must change
them to harmonic with her changes of
dress during the day. For the early
morning, for the glare of MONDAY and
the more softened light Of evening
different types Of makeup are suitable.
There are many types, but for the
present we shall discuss the eight COM
monest types of beauty and the make
!, up that should be used by each.
The blonde with blue eyes, fair hair
and fair skin may choose geraniunl
rouge, geranium or ruby lipstick,
creamy powder and blue eye shadow
eyes and creamy skin may use coral
rouge, geranium or cardinal lipstick
rachel or natural face powder and
brown eye shadow.
If milady has chestnut hair hazel
or gray eyes and ivory skin she will
find raspberry rouge, raspberry or ruby
lipstick, cream powder and blue eye
shadow becoming.
The Titan blonde, with her auburn
hair, brown eyes and white skin will
find coral rouge and cardinal lipstick
| creamy powder and brown eye shadow
| f1attering, but the brunette with brown
hair. brown eyes and fair skin, should
choose raspberry rouge, raspberry OF
ruby lipstick, creamy powder and blue
eye shadow. The darker brunette with
black hair, hazel. brown or black eyes

Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

August 30, 1S61-It has been discov-
cred that some deserters from the Fed
eral Army are leaving Washington and
vicinity, making their way into South
ern Maryland and crossing daily over
Chesapeake Bay to the counties of Dor
chester, Talbot and Queen Annes on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Thence
they are making their way into Della
ware where they get aboard trains on
the Maryland & Delaware Railroad
and return to their homes in the
North.
These deserters are being aided, &C.
cording to reports reaching the military
authorities here, by Southern sympa-
thizers In st. Marys, Charles, Calvert
and Anne Arundel Counties in South
ern Maryland, who give them clothing.
provisions and money and take them
across the bay in small boats. They
are usually taken over in parties of four
to twelve persons. 1t is reported that
so Of them crossed the bay one day
recently.
There is also brisk trade in contra
band goods across Chesapeake Bay.
through Southern Maryland and across
the Potomac River into Virginia, con-
Quoted by Southern Sympathizers in
that section.
The Government is planning to re-
move the stock depot. including the
horse and mule yards, stables. etc.,
from the first ward in this city to
Bladensburg, Md. The stock will be
kept there long enough for training and
then will be sent to this city and other
places where it is needed by the Army
The members of the provost guard
here are now busy rounding up colored
men who are wearing Army uniforms
without authority The guard has been
ordered to break up this practice.
After being warned, all colored men ap-
pearing In uniform on the streets will
be arrested and confined, it was an
nounced today. The colored men in
uniform are usually attaches Of North
ern and Western regiments.
Many complaints are being made be-
cause Of the way troops arriving in the
city water their horses at the pumps
in the vicinity of the railroad depot.
Potomac River water is furnished for
the horses in large troughs, but, through
the negligence of those in charge, team
Sters use water from the nearby wells,
racking the pumps to pieces, exhausting
the water supply and rendering the ap-
proach to the pumps exceedingly dis
agreeable on account Of the mud.

sional mems and women's knowledge Is
their stock in trade, Just as much as
the goods handled in business are the
business persons stock IN trade. AL
though in the latter instance the goods
are tangible, no honest person would
think of taking them: But because IN
the former instance the goods consist
in valuable knowledge that cannot be
handled, but can be used in guiding &C
lions and making decisions. 1t is often
pilfered and the person getting 1t does
not seem to be aware that he or she Is
getting something for nothing, some
thing valuable without giving anything
in return fc- 1t.
Doctors and lawyers suffer most frc n
this sort of pilt"'ing Some one has
cold, for example, and doctor friend
Is met. The person suffering from the
cold let's the doctor know just how he
or she feels. expecting to get advice and
never thinking that it should be paid
for. Surely 1t doesn't cost the doctor
anything to tell the sufferer what to
do. But does it not? If the doctor had
not studied and paid out years in school,
irg and in practice, would the advice
be so sought? The doctor has paid for
his knowledge. 1t is worth being paid
for. His knowledge is his stock in trade
A lawyer Is always having questions
put to him or her that involve points of
law or equity. If the answers are with
held, the lawyer is thought strange and
even stingy. 1t would cost him nothing
to say yes or no or to say what he
thought about the matter. That is what
the questioner believes, or thoroughly
honest persons who often ask the ques-
tons would not try to find out the an
swers. as they often do.
But If the knowledge would not be
valuable, why ask the lawyer? Is 1t
not because the reply would be- acted
upon and used as a guide to save bust
. ness complications or actual trouble or
the loss of money? Putting 1t thus, it
is seen that the actual money value is
something
Writers are often asked how an anna
teur should market his stories, and, be
it said to their credit, the advice is prac-
tically always given. Yet the successful
writer has earned success by years of
experience. which has cost him much
both in time and money. He is asked
to give 1t away for nothing.
The ethics of business should be re-
spected in the getting of advice as well
as the getting Of any commodity.
ThoughtlesSness is usually at the bot
tom Of getting advice for nothing. BY
having attention called to the matter
persons can be on their guard against
asking advice without the proffer of
pay. Since home-makers are still con-
sldered the least experienced in busi-
ness, they would most naturally fall into
the error unless they had the matter
brought to their attention.

Crab in Tomatoes.

Being careful not to break the skin
pass the blunt edge of a knife firmly
over four tomatoes, pressing the skin
from the blossom end of the tomato
to the stem end. BY this method the
skin may then be peeled off without
tearing the flesh. Remove some of the
pulp and mix it with an equal amount
Of crab or lobster meat broken into
small pieces. Add enough salad dress
ing to flavor. Shake few drops of
onion juice and few grains of cayenne
pepper into the cavity of each tomato.
Fill with the prepared mixture, cover
with a generous teaspoonful Of mayon-
naise dressing topped with caviare and
garnish with pieces Of cucumber. Ar
range the tomatoes on lettuce leaves,
alternating with sliced cucumbers.

BEAUTY CHATS
Self Analysis.

What is your trouble, or troubles?
Most of us have more than one COM
plant. Don't let any small ailment
grow into big one; it's so much easier
to head on trouble than to cure it.
In the matter Of good looks, which is
what concerns us in this column, pre-
ventive measures are always recon-
mended. It is easy to avoid having q
double chin, for instance, and hard to
cure one that has grown firmly into
place. Keep down your diet, so the
extra chin is not due to too much flesh,
and rub for 10 minutes every day with
a piece of ice. That will keep you from
ever having flabby line-at least, It
will keep your chin line young into your
late 40S.
Keep your complexion beautifully
clean, and your body functoining in q
normal healthy way. Don't be afraid
to rub the face, this stimulates the pores
to throw OF waste, and brings fresh
blood into the skin to rejuvenate 1t.
Use creams with discretion for wrinkles
and use ice freely. A skin that has once
become course pored and blotchy Is
hard to clear.

black hair, black or very dark brown
eyes and deep olive skin needs the
darkest shade of ochre or old ivory face
powder, raspberry or crushed rose
rouge, ruby lipstick and brown eye
shadow.
Then there are the sun-tan powders
in darker or lighter shades for sports
and evening wear. Powders for sun
tan makeup come in various shades,
ranging through deep cream, old ivory.
copper, bronze, sun glow, banana, eve
ming glow, gypsy and rose India to tans
and ochre. Golden brown shades are
for brunettes and coppery shades for
the blondes.
The newest makeup is apple bios
som. It Is running side by side with
the new sun-tan makeup complexion.
BE fair, Il you can't be dark becom-
ingly," is the vogue of the moment.
By Autumn the apple blossom tint
should be in full swing, because
sun-tan is not becoming to every wom-
an. The kind of sun-tan that can be
put on and taken of at pleasure makes
blue eyes look faded, and If the broWs
and lashes are light 1t is necessary 10
use eye makeup to give the desired
effect when used by blondes.
Brown and black eyed women with
dark eyebrows and lashes are safe, but
the blue or gray-eyed woman should
use lining pencils and eye shadow when
wearing sun-tan makeup. Purple eye
shadow. orchid, mauve and green
powder with light lipstick will be seen
on the blondes. The modern girls
struggle to make her skin appear lumi-
nous, especially in evening makeup,
is reflected in the apple blossom face
powders and rouge. These odd shades
of face powder that do not attempt to
be natural are more effective under
artificial lights. But it must be re-
membered that the application of this
type OF evening makeup requires ar
tistic skill or the result will be gro
tesque rather than beautiful. Using
couture. makeup and evening gown of
pastel hues is the vogue and in direct
contrast to the sun-tan makeup.

Everyday Psychology
Self.Induced Sleep.

It Is possible for you to put yourself
to sleep. If counting imaginary sheep
will do 1t, use that rtse. Almost any
thing with an element of sustained
monotony or repetition will turn the
trick, If you can overcome the natural
tendency for the attention to huctuate.
This self-induced slumber is known as
hypnotic sleep. or, more properly. self
hypnotic sleep.
In ordinary sleepy states of conscious
ness the will is very weak. or even en-
tirely absent. In order to induce sleep
upon yourself, you must use the will,
which properly belongs to the conscious
level Of the mind. You must make 1t
dip down into the subconscious level
and there take charge OF your mental
household just as 1t naturally does
when you are wide awake. The will is
really nothing more than q wish plus
a sense Of attainment. Keep that idea
before you and you can make yourself
do many things.
The procedure for inducing sleep is
by no means easy. Few people have the
patience to stick to 1t long enough to
get results. Still fewer are able to form
the habit. But 1t can be done. And
those people who know how to make
the most of their time have learned
how to control their sleeping hours.
Why shouldn't you practice ways and
means for inducing sleep? Sleep takes
up about one-third of all your time.
This fact alone suggests its importance.
The method itself is question Of
experiment. What fits one mind will
not fit another. There must be as many
individual differences in sleeping per-
sonalities as there are in waking per-
sonalities.
Since the average person possesses
a concrete rather than an abstract
mind. self-hypnosis of the purely mag
mary sort is not universally effective.
The concrete type of mind runs more
to strictly physical conditions. In all
such cases do something to tire the eyes
in a purely physical way. Many people
use reading for might cap" When
one reads by lamplight in a reclined

accompaniment of sleep is easily In

An artist friend sends Christmas cards
to his acquaintance every year. He
possesses an ingenuity in the produc-
one we know. One year he sent a
card the size Of a newspaper sheet.
1t was made of Japanese paper. There
was nothing visible on it; no wishes
for "a Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year" The first thought of the
recipient was, somebody is playing a
trick on me. If the recipient studied
the paper long enough and unfolded
the paper carefully, he might find. in
the tiniest letters, in one corner, the
initials of the artist. They were not
printed. but rather impressed in the
paper.
Firms with which the artist had BUSH
ness connections received the card"
1t brought him business and an abund-
ance of it. An example of striking indi-
vidual thinking.
Another man, the head of large Or
ganization, prohibits his employees from
using a standard phrase in any letters
sent from the offices. yours of the
18th instant received and contents
noted" Is taboo. I'm reply, beg to

a rampage. The result Is that he has
injected individuality in not only his
employees but in the business itself.

Pedestrians and others, bundled up and
wearing earmuffs, shivered and smiled
as they saw the picturesque figure max
ing his way among them without ap-
parently feeling the cold.
The man was not publicity seeker
He had nothing to sell. He was. there
fore, astonished when theatrical man
made him a proposition to appear in
vaudeville. The man Of the stage, alert
for novelties, was quick to appraise the
value Of the coatless and hatless man
who attracted so much attention. The
gentleman in white refused the offer.
Several years later he died. Wise
folks said his death was due to ex-
posure.
Sometimes INSCRIPTIONS methods are
used to attract attention. A number of
years ago a young American artist
sought position on a certain Eastern
newspaper. His work was admirable,
but there was no vacancy. Undeterred,
he applied at other newspaper Offices,
but without success. Starvation and a
ballroom overlooking back yard stared
him in the face. He decided to employ
radical means of obtaining a Job.
At that time, foreign artists were In
demand. The young fellow changed
his name and inserted a hyphen to
give 1t ritzy atmosphere, and hied

Watch your diet. You need never

all your life. This is matter only of
diet and exercise and chiefly Of diet.
Take care Of your hands. Every one
works these days, but the clever woman
never lets her hands show it. She wears
gloves to work in and uses lotions and
learns to be her own manicurist. The
hands can always look young If they
are properly tended.
Look yourself over carefully and see
