the former type will look like splash
of paint on the lips which nature in
tended to have more delicate tint.
Many readers have written recently
asking If it is true that the Suntan
shades Of face powder are no longer
in style. They are just as much in
vogue as ever for the dark skins to
which they are suited. For the girl or
woman whose skin is naturally of the
creamy, shell-pink or peaches-and-
cream type, the darker shades of sun
tan are not becoming or modish. On
the other hand, there was never a
beauty fad that better brought out the
loneliness of skin which has in itself
much of the tan hue than the suntan
makeup. For this type of skin, as we'll
as for the average complexion after 1t
has taken on the tan given by the
health-giving Summer sun, there is
nothing better than suntan face powder
OF course, any rouge that may be used
must blend with 1t, but often rouge is
not necessary.
In every step of milady's beauty pro-
gram she should be guided by the prin-
ciple that beauty must be natural. The
use of face powder and rouge is not
merely to cover up facial blemishes, but
to bring out every bit Of natural beauty.
The clever woman, after making care
full study of her own individual type,
will see to it that the good points are
accentuated and those not so attractive
subdued.
Rouge has wonderful possibilities in
this regard After first studying her
skin so that she will choose shade
which harmoniZeS with her coloring,
milady should study the correct appli-
cation. The manner Of applying this
aid to beauty can make the too-broad
face as well as the tOo-thin face appear
perfect oval. For instance, If the
cheekboneS are too prominent the rouge
should be applied a little below them,
thus drawing attention away from this
feature. On the other hand, If the face
is too thin, placing the rouge rather
high on the cheeks and then shading
1t back toward the ears will give more
rounded appearance. The principle to
keep in mind when applying rouge is
that coloring makes feature more
prominent, and naturally milady will
want to bring out the feature which is
perfect and Subdue the one which is
already too prominent.
Many young lady has discovered
the valuable secret that the dimple in
her chin or her cheek is accumulated If
she applies just the faintest touch Of
| rouge to 1t. OF course, she does not
apply enough to make the rouge itself
| noticeable-just sufficient to make the
most of her bewitching dimpleS. So in

keep in mind is to strive to keep your

The Ptomain Poisoning Myth.

Sixty persons fell i'll a few hours
after dinner given by lodge. Twelve
were gravely i'll. The first news report
said physicians agreed it was some kind
of food poisoning, but disagreed as TO
it's exact nature. "Some regarded 1t as
a plain case of ptomain poisoning,
others characterized it as toxic poison
ing resulting from bacterial growth
and one doctor even suspected arSen1cal
poisoning.
Just what is ptomaIn poisoning, and
toxic poisoning resulting from bac-
terial growth?
First, let me take ptomain poisoning
some of the medical brethren would
gladly have me do that. There is no
such thing as ptomain poisoning. The
| doctor who suggests such an explana-
ton for a sudden illness or outbreak
of that nature should be stripped OF
his chevrons.
Ptomains are products Of advanced
decomposition of protein (nitrogenouS)
matter. animal or vegetable. The word
ptomain was coined by an Italian toxi-
cologiSt in 1870, from the Greek word
ptoma, meaning corpse. Perhaps that
is one reason why this term conveys a
CHASTITY meaning to the public. Most
ptomainS are inert or not injurious
enough to warrant any anxiety even II
one should dine on them. The only
poisonous ptOmalnS chemists nave as
covered are formed after putrefaction
is advanced week or more. and even
guests at a church supper would find
some excuse for not partaking Of food

Ptomains are produced by the putre--

animal or vegetable matter by what
ever bacteria happen to be present,

SPRINCTIME
BY d. C. PEATTIE.

To some people all wild flowers are
weeds; at least some city folks so think
Of them, though every country child Is
as familiar with the different faces and
the different ways of common plants as
with the faces and ways of people.
1t is an odd little conceit of mine
that some wild flowers are wilder than
others. 1 cannot justify what is purely
a feeling, yet any one who ever went
flower picking in Spring land he misses
one of the first 10 joys of the happy
life If he doesn'D will agree with me
that TO find the trillium in bloom is to
chance on something wild and strange,
though it is, after all, only little wood
flower, and not especially uncommon at
that.
Perhaps I can best press my point by
opposites. The pasture daisy Is wild
flower; at least nobody asks 1t to grow,
and the farm asks that it shall not do
So But there is certainly nothing very
wild about 1t; you never see common
daisy growing in deep forest, or stirred
by the breeze and spray of a waterfall,
or standing tip-toe to listen to the
hermit thrush.
But wherever the loan Is dark and
fragrant, wherever the warblers dart
through the green, startled foliage, the
strange wild flower of the trillium lifts
its face. Three rhombic petals, fleshy to
the touch, maroon in color, odorous
with an aroma found in the pawpaw
flower; a close-set calyx of three green
sepals, three rhombic green leaves-and
that is all there is to the plant whose
perfect symmetry is so satisfying.
Hereabouts we do not have the paint
ed trillium, the great white trillium, nor
that species which country boys in
elegantly call Sinking Willie. We have
only the little red species that bears the
name Of Wake Robin, and John Bur-
roughs loved it so that he named Q
book of nature essays after 1t. OF all
the common English names Of plants
have always thought Wake Robin the
most poetic.

"All quarrels displease me-" once said
Fontenelle, the French poet, dramatist,
philosopher and miscellaneous writer.
Perhaps it was because he avoided dis
sensions of all sorts, pursuing calm,
equable course, that he fell only a
month short Of century of life. He
is said never to have laughed or wept.
He had two mottoes-"Everything Is
possible" and Everybody is right"
Fontenelle was famous in his own
times chiefly because he wrote Of abb
struse subjects in a clear and simple
way, an ability which enabled him to
popularIZe science. However, he also
was highly admired for his witty con-
versation. with the result that he was
constantly invited out to dine. 1t Is
difficult to understand how q habitual
diner-out could survive for a century,
but Fontenelle succeeded.
Apropos Of his role of perpetual guest,
we must recall the jest of Piron, the
dramatist, on meeting the funeral of
Fontenelle IN 1757. Piron said: This
is the first time M. de Fontenelle is not
leaving his house to dine out"
Fontenelle's mind continued keenly
active to the very last. Two remarks
of his old age show his never failing
wit

materials are equally suitable. Goods
as lightweight as ginghams are not
sufficiently firm and durable.
To make bag, hem the two sides
with raw edges. making the turnings
very narrow. Sew the tip of each COR
ner to the plate of the hook, taking
stitches through the screw holes. There
is one screw hole for each corner of the
square. Openings to the bag are ample
and the container is big enough to
hold a large number of clothespins. 1t
takes but a few moments to make a
bag
It may be interesting to note that
cretonne clothespin bags of this sort
bring as much as $1.25 In some gift
shops. The woman who wants to send
some articles to fair and has but
little time in which to do the work can
make several of these bags in an aft
ernoon or evening. If in each bag
there is a supply of 80 to so clothespins,
there should be plenty of ready buyers,
especially If the price is made as at
tractive as the bag is handy and good
looking.

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLISTER.

Some young girls amuse themselves
these days in making lists of their
hates" OF course there Is usually a
bit of a pose in the way young girl
enumerates her hates" and these lists
are probably seldom written in perfect
seriousness.
The busy housewife may also make
her list of hates" but she would prob
ably choose the soft word 'dislikes. "
She might honestly put down agents
who call you from work in the busiest
time of the day." Most women do dis
like them heartily, even though they
end by buying of their wares.
The mother with several young chill
dren usually finds the hour between
5 and 6 so trying as to be included in
this list, the hour when children are
tired and hungry, when little ones must
be got ready for bed and when the
evening meal must be prepared.
Now, honestly, what do you dislike
most? It would really do you good to
make an enumeration. If you discover
what things Annoy and try you most,
then you may be able to do something
to help matters out. Sometimes, you
know, We go on and on from year to
year putting up with conditions that
are peculiarly trying, particularly ia
tiguing, that might. if we made q Su-
preme effort, be remedied.

SUB ROSA
The Romantic Sex.

Rudy Vallee and Darragh Alridge
have recently engaged in a discussion
as to which is the romantic SEX" Each
accuses the other and that evens
matters up. Then both of them look
romantic and write with the flavor OF
romance. Now, which is correct-the
man who says woman Is romantic or
the woman who pins the rose OF
romance on man?
1t doesn't take these experts to show
us that both sexes are OF romantic
inclinations. But it does require a
little exporting of our own to dlstln-
guish between the kinds OF romance
which each sex possesses and portrays.
The sexes may look alike today, but
there is Indifference which doesn't
appear upon the sleeve.
Romance seems to indicate sort
of wandering. This doesn't mean that
the man of romance, like the knight
and fares forth to great distance. But
the wandering tendency is there just
the same; If not in ground covered
by the feet, certainly in the range
commanded by the heart.
Mans romancing is of the broad and
loud variety. He is the wandering min
Strel, tuneful troubadour or vagabond
lover. Woman's romancing Is more local
and remains within the sacred precincts
of her heart. Mans love may be SO
buoyant as to require brass band.
Woman's love is more likely to be in
tones she alone can hear.
1t would be q mistake to attribute
romance to one sex alone. For the
romantic in one heart calls out to the
romantic in another. If a man has
romance in his voice, woman must
have as much of it in her ear or Cupid's
crossword puzzle.
A girls romances are usually toy
balloons which she can haul in when
the wind begins to blow. They are gay
but tender dreams which are easily
broken. You can't expect her to float
q Zeppelin. She will feel romance un-
consciously where man will think
about it and try to work 1t out like a
crossword puZzel.
If you are going in for the romance
business, the best thing to do Is to let
1t affect your personality so that you'll
cultivate charm as well as complexion.
It's better to romance about yourself
than about some man. Then you can
be the object of his dream instead of
sweetly brooding over him.
In these drab days we're all so ter
ribly sophisticated that certain
amount of re-romancing would do us
lot of good. We mustn't lose our
original sense of wonder or be so smart
that We'll forget how to dream.
We need poetry in our young lives,
even If it has to be the shopped-up
prose they call "free verse"

A good clothespin container fulfills
two requirements. 1t must be so made
that the pins can be taken out and put
into it easily, and it must have some
means of remaining conveniently with
in reach. The clothespin bag, direc-
tions for the making of which are given
today, meets both requirements most
satisfactorily. The openings are sufd-
GENTLY large and numerous for the pins
to be handy from four sides and there
is a hook by which the bag can be
hung on the clothesline and be shifted
along to any needed place.
The materials required are square
of stout textile and hook, sometimes
called a hammock hook. This has a
square plate with four screw holes in 1t.
The size of the square is variable. &C
cording to the size of the bag required.
Twenty-seven to thirty inch goods
makes an average bag. A square of the
material is sufficient.
Denim and stout cretonne are the
favorite fabrics for these bags. A wash
able textile is needed and one in which
colors are fast Burlap, machine-made
"homespun," monks cloth and similar
