Migratory Waistlines

The waistline of the members of

almost the normal level after having
slipped down almost to the knees.
These vagaries, however, like the
rest of fashions fancies, are no new
thing, and in an old French book
published in 1920, when George "
was king, we find this sentence {:

whose length, breadth, shortness, or

SPRING FASHIONS
STRESS SIMPLICITY

The best dressed woman this
spring will be the one whose clothes
reflect casualness and informality
in creation and design.
"Simplified simplicity" was the
way Rose A. Glemby, head of the
buying syndicate, explained it, at
the opening of the spring 1882 fash
ion forecast session of member
stores in New York.
Miss Glemby also told the ses-
sion that sudden increase in
price levels for this spring in fash
ion merchandise was not expected.
From present indications the
greatest volume will be done on
somewhat lower price levels than
spring last year." she said. 1T will
be necessary to stress quality, and
fashion correctness, regardless of
price"

Use Cosmetics Subtly

IN SPITE of the many millions of
l. dollars spent annually on cosmet-
les, the number of women who have
never known the enhancing effect
of rouge or powder is staggering.
And they do not constitute back
woods people or those "out-on-the-
farm" far away from civilization.
Right in our big cities you will
find them. Some still cling to the
ultra-conservative and ultra-old-
fashioned idea that it Is sinfully
wrong to use a bit of rouge.
These women have to be educated
to the modern way of doing and the
modern way of applying makeup.
The art of makeup has passed
through many stages. The expert
mental stage when women applied
so little, they failed to achieve the
desired effect; then the exaggerated
stage when they ruined the effect
by the other extreme.
But modern makeup methods
have, fortunately, achieved the
happy medium. Rouge is deli
cately applied and blended to
lend a look of natural bloom and
health. The color seems to come
from beneath the skin. A look
of health and beauty-it lends
life to the face and sparkle to
the eyes.
Powder is not put on in pounds
not today. Its purpose is to give
The skin a touchdown, we'll
groomed look, to put the finishing
touch to a picture of perfection.
And a lipstick gives the lips more
color and deftly used it improves
the outline. One can wear lipstick
without telling the world" II
need not be bold or obvious.
Modern makeup methods really
make women lovely. The function
of makeup is to give back to the
skin that natural, healthful glow
which the fast pace of modern liv-
ing takes from the skin.
If you are one of the thousands
who have not yet started to use
makeup, throw off the shackles of
old-fashioned ideas, get up enough
courage to go to the best store in
your vicinity. A capable salesgirl
can help you to choose a rouge of
good quality, proper texture and
consistency for you, a shade to
match your skin. She can explain
exactly how it should be blended,
too. All this applies to powder also.
You can get a fine quality rouge
and powder for nominal sum and
the investment will last over a long
time. So much meauty for so little !!

Beauty Talks

Famous Beauty Expert
Choice of Toilet Preparations

MYTH science and genius help
w ing beauty culture to make
such splendid strides, the choice of
an effective facial preparation has
become a simple matter indeed.
Women study themselves, their
beauty needs. They also study va
rious preparations. They expert
ment to see whether the preparations
are suited to individual needs. So
that the choice of a cream or To-
ton is becoming more and more ex-
act, more and more scientific.
Having with confidence chosen a
preparation, the next step is to know
exactly how it should be applied.
The maximum in efficiency and
beauty can be hoped for when prep
aration plus method are right.
1t is essential for the modern
woman to know how to give
herself a rejuvenating and re-
freshing treatment.
A telephone call may mean a last
minute engagement. Then, she is
challenged by the new beauty need,
the wish that she could do it all
for herself, the desire to know how.
Method is equally important as
the choice of preparations, and
method has not been sufficiently EN-
phasiZed. Give an intelligent wom-
an the reason for doing certain
thing a certain way; explain the
how Of it and you will have ap-
pealed to her sense of reasoning.
The directions read: Apply upward
and outward to cOunteract the nat
ural tendency for muscles to sag
and droop downward"
Directions for using bleach
should warn the purchaser not to
apply too near the eyes or nostrils.
Because even a mild bleach is too
strong for the delicate tissues
around the eyes. And bleaches
should never be used too near the
brows and lashes or the hairline for
fear of tightening the hair.
A skin tonic should be made to do
double duty. When sponged over
the skin it removes every trace of
cream or grease. Apply on piece
of absorbent cotton and patted up
ward and outward with brisk slap
ping movements, it stimulates the
circulation, regulates the oil con-
tent of the skin and promotes its
health generally.
Directions should emphasize the
wisdom of removing creams and To-
tions as carefully as they are ap-
piled, always upward and outward,
patting off as gently and firmly as
you pat when the preparation Is ap-
piled. Thus the elasticity Of the
skin is preserved, without stretch
ing and without breaking the deli
cate tissues.

NO FALLING OFF
OF INFANT GENIUS
Gifted Children Develop
Into Gifted Adults.

From time to time we hear of re-
markable children who, at an almost
unbelievably early age, show ex-
traOrdinary mental powers. Some can
read when average babies barely
learn to talk; others perform alb
struse calculations with ease; 9th
ers become as fluent in foreign Ian
guages as in their own. What hap
pens to these infant geniuses? Do
they last or does their early promise
lead to little or nothing in later life?
Until recently, says an article in
London Tit-Bits, little was known
definitely. There were isolated in
stances of certain great men who had
been phenomenally gifted as children,
but no one had ever studied the
whole subject scientifically.
Some years ago there appeared a
volume describing a thousand eXcep-
tionally gifted children who had been
selected for observation by a prOfes-
sor of the University of California.
The children have been kept under
observation, and we have now the
records of their activities at school
and at the university. In nearly ev-
cry case the gifted infant has turned
out to be an unusually brilliant boy
or girl.
"Verda" first came under observa
tion as a tiny girl of two years and
nine months. She was then in hos
pital recovering from a double mas
told operation, one of the most Sc
rious that a child can have. This
tiny tot then wrote a long poem on
her reactions to the effects Of the
operation. A really wonderful poem
was composed by her at the age of
five.
At eleven, tests showed that she
was in the front rank of the thou
sand children observed, and in an
other test at sixteen she scored the
highest number of marks ever made
by woman. At seventeen she went
" llS ullNCl Sllys anu hCI NcilC
there has been one of unbrOken sue
cess.
OF the thousand children observed
it has been found that the proportion
obtaining high distinction at the uni
versity is more than double that of
ordinary children. It is found, though,
that in most cases intelligence does
not increase quite regularly from
year to year. There may be periods
when it remains stationary or even
shows a slight falling off. But al
ways after one of these periods there
is an advance. One remarkable fact
is that children with brilliant brains
seem to sleep more than others, at
any rate up to the age of about sew
enteen.
Professor Terman hopes to go on
with his tests and to publish later
particulars of the careers of these
youngsters after ten or fifteen years.
If he does so he will answer one of
the most pressing Of all questions,
there are many now who believe that
youthful genius often burns itself out
between the ages of twenty and
twenty-five.
In our own country there has re-
Gently been a wonderful case of twins
who have been above the normal
since infancy. Other remarkable
twins of recent times are the Misses
Elizabeth and Jessie Jameson, who
had careers Of exactly equal brilli-
ance at Edinburgh university, and
Drs. Arthur and Sidney Smith, the
Harley street radium expert who,
two years ago, ended their lives to-
gether.
