suit small buttonhole bouquet often
adds just the needed finishing touch.
A trim boutonniere of blue corn flowers
on the navy-blue Suit-one or two white
gardenias-on black, gray or navy blue
brown and yellow daisies on a brown
tweed-are good selections. The most
important thing to remember is that
the flowers should be discarded the
moment that they become the least bit
soiled or bedraggled. 1t is far better
TO buy the cheapest sort and to change
them often than to buy an expensive
flower that one feels must be worn for
long time.
An artificial flower may be added to
the fur collar to add touch of FEM
ininity to the ensemble, and here, too,
care must be taken to get flower of
just the right color. Occasionally a
good effect Is obtained by wearing a
flower that is In marked contrast. A
black dress worn with black coat with
gray fur collar and a black hat loses its
somberness If a pink rose Is added to
the fur collar.
Speaking of color schemes are
some that have been approved by smart
women this Autumn:
Dark gray, light gray and gladiolus
pink.
Leaf brown, rust color and beige.
Brown, beige and eucalyptus green.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Psychopathic Personalities.

The history Of the human mind con-
tainS long, doleful chapter on hui
man tendencies to fall back to infantile
levels. Most people, If just little Ill,
begin to whine. Men especially. It's
cry for mother to come and kiss the
bumped place" There are people in
the world who will do this sort of thing
every time something goes wrong Re-
erosion is the scientific name for this
mental mechanism.
There's another chapter which tells
the story Of how people get facts mixed
up with fancy. Some people get their
pleasure from their day-dreamS. Too
many Of them try to turn these WOOL
catherine expeditions into real achieve
ment. The result, of course, is disap-
pointment. Carried on day after day,
year after year, the result is absolute
and complete failure. A lot of people
break down from extravagant expecta-
ton. Hope deferred maketh the heart
sick" Those who get that way become
interpretive and tend to shut them
selves off from the rest of the world.
Introspection is the name of the mech
anism. 1ntrovert is the name. Of the
type.
Next we have the paranoiacs. They
are the people who override every diff
Guilty by pretending that they stand
above and beyond natural events. At
the same time they develop an over
sensitivity for everything, get suspicious
Of everybody, and finally begin to call
on the law to protect them. They will
go to court on the slightest provocation.
fighting for what they call principle.
Disappointment is just around the cor
ner, for the rest of the world are as
rule interested in themselves. The
paranoiac suffers the natural fate of
being ignored. Then it is that he may
begin to concoct a new scheme for the
social order, of new religion, and to
assume personal charge of this tmagi-
nary world. The paranoiacS are the
projectors par excellence.
These three types, the aggressive, the
introvertive and the protective, are to
be found everywhere In mild degree.
Taken together they represent efforts to
seek protection or escape pain. Pure
cases are quietly removed to the rela-
lively quiet retreats for the mentally
sick.

Hoover seeks the seclusion of his Vir-

incident to residence in the White

gay capitals of Europe, Col Charles

Somehow we are prone to regard our

One day a friend desired to meet a
well known actor. He had frequently
seen the player on the stage and was
thrilled at the expectation of meeting
the performer at his (the actor's) home.
Arriving at the mans house, we found
him painting porch furniture in the
back yard. We suspected, before we

Enlarged Pores.

Dear Miss Leeds-Please tell me how
to use witch hazel on the face. Is it
used while the face Is wet, before or
after washing? How does one use
olive oil to massage? Is it mixed with
the witch hazel? My skin is rather
dry, but have enlarged pores around
my chin and at the sides of my nose.

face, and If olive oil or cleansing oil
darkens the skin? Please publish q
good skin tonic that may use regu-
larry. Thanking you for your valuable
advice in our beauty problems.
work and keep house, so do not have
very much time to spend on myself
Mrs. H. G. K.
Answer-When using witch hazel on
the face, always cleanse the skin first
with cleansing cream or oil, then
with soap and water. Rinse we'll and
dry and pat on the witch hazel, using
piece of clean absorbent cotton. An
other way in which you may use the
witch hazel is to cut out a piece of
gauze or cheesecloth the size of the
face with holes for eyes, nose and
mouth. Moisten the mask in the witch
hazel and mold 1t over the face. Leave
it on for half an hour or so after
cleaning the skin and massage it for
few moments with a good skin food,
cold cream or tissue cream.
When using olive oil for the skin, do
not add it to the witch hazel as these
two will not mix. You may use the
olive oil as a cleanser to massage the
skin and to keep it fabricated. The
cleansing oil is made. as follows: Two
ounces oil of benne, or teel oil; one
half ounce oil of almonds, 2 drains
cologne water, five drops simple tine
ture of benZOin. Add the oils together
and the cologne water, then the ben
zoin, drop by drop. When using olive
oil to cleanse, massage or lubricate the
skin, add five drops of tincture of ben
zoin. There are number of skin tom
les on the market, but I cannot rec
ommend any particular brand You
may make your own, however, of the
following simple ingredients: Three
ounces orange flower water, four drains
glycerin, four drains cologne water, one
dram boric acid, ten drops simple tine
ture of benzoin, six ounces roSewater.
To make the skin tonic, mix the
glycern and cologne water together
dissolve the boric acid in little of the
rosewater and add to the orange flower
water. Then mix these two solutions
together with the remainder of the rose
water, and add the benzoin drop by
i drop. Shake well. Apply with piece OF
clean absorbent cotton before you apply

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, October 10
(N.A.N.A).-A village which invented
conceit dubs Rudy Vallee the most
conceited man" it has ever met.
Perhaps he did some heavy toe-tread-
ing with the towns invincible beaux,
for the feminine element were all agog
to see the rage of Manhattan-theres
no doubling that. And a few writing
people burned up white paper with their
glowing account of his mysterious, mag
netic pull.
Ann Greenway and Mary Brian were
! limited as Rudy Vallees choice of local
beauties. Mary Brian, questioned and
cross questioned about the possibility
of an engagement with the singing
orchestra leader (almoSt from the first
sentence she exchanged with him). con-
Sistently denied the probability of this,
even after she had talked enough with
Rudy to know whether or not she liked
him.
One Of the given reasons for the
Vallee feud is the reminder the Rudy"
part of his name is of the beloved
Valentino.
Which is the thinnest excuse the viii
lage has fallen back upon in lifetime
Of thin excuses.
Stay in pictures long enough and
you'll either make a record number of
marriages or go blond. There are few
other possibilities, including running up
the record number of debts and being
accused of stealing stray husbands.
But the first two are the big bets.
Olive Borden, not being given to such
unmaidenly things, prefers to go blond.
Her dark, shining hair has been I'M
