GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart

Evening Makeup More C0lorful
 It Is the makeup you wear with them that gives allure to many of the evening ensembles this winter.
 Before you apply your makeup be sure that your skin is in a con- dition to receive 1t properly and do it's best by 1t.
 The foundation you use depends on the condition of your skin. The great majority of women over 20 have skins that are dry, rather than oily. Therefore, a heavy, re- licious foundation cream is best for evening.
 If you can't manage the moist. luscious look they give your skin. use a lighter, oily finishing cream. If you happen to have an oily skin pick a lotion that smooths the skin without adding oil to 1t. But re- member, the skin with q moist look Is the one that looks youngest under electric lights.
 one little de luxe touch you might give yourself for special oc- casions Is to use an ice pack before you nut on this cream. It tightens up the skin again, if your hot bath has in any way made 1t lax ana opened It's pores. The moisture of the Ice, plus the rich finishing cream. is what gives that young look all the women want.
 Your rouge goes on first Of all, after your skin has beon treated to its evening creaming.
 Use cream rouge, by all means, for powder rouge has q way or making your skin look dry. He- member, too, that the rouge you use on an evening can be brighter can Dc used more lavishly and cnn give c much more artificial emect in evening that you can stand 'n
 Put your evening rouge on your eheek.beuss. batting it out toward the temples. Don't let it como farther ln than even with tho con. ter ef the eye, Put on plenty. Few bath er dressing fabie lights are af bFishi aa thentef i0hbier or reHfhu . rants. and you can stand a mhsi. mum Of color Co hold your own Whsn you appear in public

T had them stopped and would have brought him in but your daughter spilled everything by standing us all off and turning him loose" Swergin was red and an- gry now.
 Asper looked from one to the other. At last he addressed his daughter. "You always were rash but I didn't think you'd step in and turn loose a killer like Ball." He cleared his throat. Run along and get cleaned up. I want to have a word with Swergin."
 Dona did as she was ordered though she was sure the timber boss would play up to her father in her absence. she would have a chance later and she meant to make the most of it.
 Swergin stood with his thick neck thrust forward and his heavy lips parted II don't blame the gal so much. Ball is handsome devil and he handed her line that was very pretty: Played gen. tleman to her all the time and made big show to get her to feel ing sorry for him."
 Asper nodded. He remembered young Ball very well and thought he understood. 'I know just about how he managed it," he grunted.
 He's on foot. We have his mare down at the corrals now. The men should be able to run him down. l found his hideout and he can't go back there. Without Q horse he won't get far" Swergin was con- fident again.
