THE BEAUTY
BOX
BY Helen FOllett-

Purple eye shadows are the
latest cosmetic nifty to be
tucked into the makeup box.
But beware of them unless
they are laid on with discretion.
Overconfidence in these beauty
Smudges-one layer too much
and the beauty-quester looks
as if she had just emerged
from a fist fight. When ap-
plying any eye shadow the
fact must be kept in mind
that it is applied to a skin
surface that is creased and
which is movable. Therefore
the flesh should be held fiat
with the left hand while the
mysterious magic is ironed en-
with the first finger of the
right hand. Eye shadows are
not recommended for daytime
wear-they belong to the eve
ming.
In case any of the paper
friends seeking beauty may be
curious about the snail curl we
will inform them that 1t is the
flat beaucatcher covered with a
piece of three-cornered paper,
pinned securely and left to dry.
A good-SiZed strand of hair is
used, and the curl is not combed
out; merely soften a bit by
fluffing with the fingers. Like
the Sculptured curl, it is a
daughter of the water wave.
A beautiful back is a rare
beauty point. It must not be
fat, neither should it reveal the
hinges Of the back bone. More
than anything else, it is nces-
sary that it should be straight
with a lovely inward curve at
the waistline. Throwing the
shoulders or hips forward will
ruin the most perfect back, a
back isn't perfect unless the
carriage is regal, the head held
splendidly.
Any dress filter will testify
to the fact that many we'll
dressed women carry unpleaS-
ant body odors. It is an mex.
cusable offense, and wholly
unnecessary. The daily bath,
alcohol rubS, laving with a
soda solution, busting with bo-
ric talcum will all help to do
away with the odor of perspi-
ration.

DEAR MISS BEECKMAN:
- Quite by accident I came
across your valuable advice in
the paper the other day, and l
determined to have you decide
a question which has been
troubling me.
A month ago I received an
invitation to the wedding of
my husbands brother. The
ceremony was to be performed
at home with only the i'm
mediate families attending
quite an informal affair. Both
my husband and I had a
grievance against the young
man.. he refused to attend our
wedding two years ago, and al
so to act as attendant for my
husband, owing to their differ
= ences on religious views. He
made us very unhappy by do
ing this.
However, I did not acknowl-
edge the invitation. 1T bore
no request for response0 I
sent a little gift to the bride
a week after the wedding, 4a,
closing card for good wishes
for both.
I have been severely criticised
for not writing an acknowledge
ment Of the invitation and

But honestly, 1t makes me just

much good just to visit a home
where the family spirit was
everything it should be that
I'm going to tell it to you.
We were guests at a little
night supper. Dad came for us
at the hotel and while he put
the car in the garage we we're
admitted most graciously by Big
Sister, who is sweet II, closely
followed by Little Sister, who
is 16.
We were their guests just as
much as the guests Of Dad and
Mother. One excused herself
and helped Mother, while the
other played hostess with Dad.
After a short time Big Sister
rejoined us and the younger
girl took her place as Mothers
helper, fixing ice, lighting the
candles and so on.
Their interest in us was in
no sense superficial or mere
courtesy. They were an inte-
gral part of the family and we
belonged to all of them.

this attitude on the part of the
parents to their friends. But

inquired Dad when Big Sister
returned flushed and smiling
from a call.

formed us when Little Sister
had finished an animated chat,

fact that he was more than just

CHECK FORGER MAKES
LARGE HAUL IN TRACY

Eleven Tracy business firms were
victimized on Saturday night by a
bad check artist, who in two hours
time extracted the neat little sum of
$177OO and than bid the friendly city
adieu.
The forger purchased merchandise
from the business firm and in COM
pleting each transaction produced a
First National Bank check. Several
names were counterfeited on the
checks. On the explanatory line in
the lower corner of each check was
inserted between parenthesis marks,
the number of hours labor the check
covered. Many of the merchants
were skeptical but the term on the
explanatory line and the signatures
sold them on the security of the
check. The forger's name was given
as Cecil De Lancy. Howver, a few
checks bore different name.
A warrant of arrest was issued on
Monday following the forger's acti-
vities, for his arrest and information
spread throughout the country with
an effort of experimenting the rogue
who so cleverly swindled the Tracy
merchants.

organization to attract new farmers,
tourists and business institutions to
the state during 1880.
The publications will include the

TEACHING HIGHWAY
SAFETY ADVOCATED
Schools Urged to Point Out
Dangers to Children and Show
How to Avoid Them

The responsibility of school author
titles to train and instruct pupils in
accident precention, is emphasized in
a State Highway bulletin issued this
week. Modern traffic conditions have
created a new problem which school
authorities must face, says the bull
Ietin, and they should point out
to the children the dangers of the
highways and how to avoid them.
Pupils should be taught how and
when to cross streets and highways.
They should be warned not to play
IN the highways, to walk on the high
ways only when necessary, and to
walk on the left side facing the traf-
fic.
Another good safety rule for
school children is to walk in solid
groups and not in scattered forma-
tion. One of the best safety measur-
es, where a school is close to a trunk
highway or other busy thoroughfare,
is to have them taken across in
groups by a policeman, an employe
of the school, or pupil designated
as a school traffic officers.
The use of flag or stop" sign to
be held in the hand by the officer or
person taking the group across the
highway is recommended. Conven-
lent hand signs for such use will be
furnished by the Highway depart
ment to schools whose pupils must
cross a trunk highway.
The use of portable stop" or
SLOW" signs, set on the highway, has
not proven satisfactory, the bulletin
states. They are effective only if re-
moved promptly after the children
have crossed the road morning and
evening. Even if this is done in one
community, it is neglected in others,
and this leads drivers to disregard
the signs and they soon become
meaningless. Other special types of
signs have proven ineffective.
The department believes that
school signs should be uniform, and
should be confined to two type. One
As the standard school caution sign,
permanently placed on the right hand
of the road approaching the school.
This sign calls attention to the
hazard, but does not compel drivers
to stop or slow down except when
children are crossing. The other is
the sign held in the hand when chill
dren are crossing.

tons, a number of tables and maps

response to it's agricultural advertis-
ing campaign. The farm booklet is
considered one of the finest published
by any state and officials believe that
it will be necessary to have another
edition published before the year is
over.
