OUTPUT
RISE IS SEEN

This week may develop a slight
rise in steel works operations con-
trary to the seasonal trend which
usually brings down the rate from
the middle of November to the
close of the year. the magazine
Steel states today.
Under stimulus of gradually
mounting shipments, operations
have held between % and % per
cent for the third consecutive
week. But pig iron production in
November was not affected by the
steadier trend in steel.
With few exceptions, the maya
zine declares, higher prices will
apply on all finished steel prod
ucts January l. either through
outright advances being made ef-
fective now or through application
of price schedules announced
early in the fourth quarter after
practically all fourth-quarter re-
quirements were covered at lower
levels.

With turnover at the rate of less
than 100000 shares an hour, the
stock market presented an unin-
teresting appearance today and
prices in general showed little
change from the previous close.
The commodity markets were
lower under the influence Of the
stronger dollar which went above
IS cents. Silver lost nearly "a
cent an ounce
Motor Shares Firm
LIQUOR and motor shares were
firm, with General Motors chang
ing hands in blocks running to
5000 shares.
National Distillers and other
liquor shares were spurred to
other comparative activity by the
fact that repeal would become
Official tomorrow.
Gains in the above two groups
ranged from fractions to nearly
3 points.
Oil shares came in for some
selling. Ohio Oil was a notable
weak spot, one block Of 5000
shares appearing on the tape
down nearly a point. Tfdewater,
Standard of New Jersey and
other issues also declined frac-
eionally.
Rail shares including New

were quiet and easy.
Utilities Are Easy
Utility shares were slightly
easier, but the selling here was
comparatively small and the de-

United Carbon was a feature

Dp YOUR CHILDREN
 By Olive Roberts Barton
01055 s7 NS1 sTa1Iez. lEe

Not long ago I put in a protest against the still, expressionless mother who keeps mask between herself and her children lest she betray an emotion that is supposed to be bad for them.
 To-day it behooves me to make still another protest, this time against the children themselves. Not little children, but older ones, especially girls who have taken for their fetish that terrible word "poise."
 Poise in itself Is not a bad word. It means presence of mind, control of ones feelings and no untoward show of emotion. This is all right, of course. Nothing is so tiresome as those people who wear their hearts on their sleeves, so to speak, and shout to the world their troubles or their joys on each and every occasion.
 Two Kinds of Poise
 But polse as 50 many of our young women practice 1t to-day has become a tiresome thing. The difference between a natural boise and an assumed one is the differ eHCe .DeLWecu o fCoA hO"SA e~'N - wax one.
 A friend of mine, woman of middle age who has attained tho quiet grace and gentleness of years of living said to me recently: "I went to Clara's Cher niece's) party. There were about twenty young girls there playing bridge. felt as though I had stepped into re- frigerator.
 "Not that they weren't pleasant. They were so carefully polite felt like a bull in @ china shop. But they all had deadly masks instead of faces. Even their smiles were contrived to show their best points. I am sure that when they are fifty they won't have wrinkle.
 "Now I know those girls and their parents. They come from real homes. No one on earth taught them to be so artificial ex- cept themselves. It Is fashionable to have 'poise.' My but I dislike the word!"
 Be Human, First!

 Now when a girl is IA or 15 1t is seemly that her mother should begin to shape her department. It Is 8 fine thing to explain to her that her heretofore good-fellow manner, chino -on-hand posture, and rakish dressing need to be sand papered and rubbed down.
 But since this fad for a rigid boise has seized us I believe there is still another job to be done. Be controlled" 1t is wise to say. "be gentle, but for goodness sake. child, be natural. Don't be stick of wood even if 1t Is carved beau tifully. Statues bore everyone to death. Your muscles were made to move. that's why your face has some thousand or so of them. Don't let them get too stiff. Let people know you are human"
 Then in 8 few years perhaps the middle aged ladies won't get so tired. Or don't they count?

GLORIFYlNG YOURSELF

Mothers makeup should never ape daughters.
 Older skin needs different treat ment. Older cheeks and lips call for quite different effects.
 The sophisticated older woman knows the value of a skillful hand at applying rouge and lipstick. Less rouge, subtler use of lipstick, and everything put on after q nice greasing.
 Greasing is really the word. For skins after 35 years ar drier and there's no use rlincing words. The average older woman needs more of that om-on-the-peach devil ness than she does color. And 1t is the right creams and powder bases which will give it.
 Eye lids; instead of needing col or. cry out for dewy look. You'll be surprised how a little muscle oil or some special eyelid cream will help out. It hides those fine | little wrinkles that will come. And leaving the eyelids just bit greas- ed makes your eyes look much younger.
 Try q little of brilliantine on both your eyebrows and your lash es. This Is a marvellous little helper. Having your eyelashes and brows properly groomed is half the battle.
 When it come to picking rouge and lipstisk if your hair Is graying or white, choose light red tone, a blonde shade. And don't use too much. And always use cream powder base for your cheeks and run little cold cream over your lips. Thy these little hints. Every one ofs them is worth while.

 "She would be pretty if her com pleXion was not so sallow." Sally said.
 Sallowness, I told her, was not a difficult beauty problem to solve. although many women do find 1t so. I explained that n pasteuriZed bleaching cream was the best friend sallow skin could have. be- cause it would not only cleanse thoroughly and mold the tissues beneath the skin to new firmness, but would also tighten the skin tone. It should be used night and morning, and followed by q skin toning lotion to close the pores be- fore makeup Is applied.
 There arc bleaching stimulants, too, such as eau dor" I suggested. "that are splendid for quick re- suits. They should be preceded and followed by cream. of course. Why Sally, what are you thinking about?"

 Somehow the lights and the flowers and the shimmering linen swan into n misty haze before the girl. It was the moment she had prayed for, dreamed of. He hadn't said 1t poetically or romantically. Just Would you be willing to be engaged to me again?" What did that matter? Rolf was waiting for her answer.
 But he wasn't waiting. He had gone on, taking 1t for granted that her answer would be "yes". Wen go away from here," Rolf told her. "To Chicago or one of the other big towns. can get another job all right. We'll make new start together-"
 But Rolf" Janet's voice was soft and low-toned. We can't I mean 1t wouldn't be right. You're still Betty's husband"
 For two weeks more. After that-say. baby. we'll show the world! You and I together!" He went on enthusiastically about the things they would do. In Chicago he'd get a job with one of the big advertising agencies. A place where they appreciated q fellow. They'd have swell apartment. Janet was to have everything in the world she wanted.
 "Of course just at first" he job, too. But I'm going to be so. You won't need to work long. little encouragement. You know, Janet, think you're prettier than Betty. That little hat you're wearing and that blue dress make your eyes look blue. They're gray really. aren't they? You see, I haven't forgotten. Listen, honey, let's get out of this place"
 Janet turned to rise and caught @ glimpse of her ankle. There was tiny runner in the new chif- ion hose she was wearing. She excused herself and went to the dressing room.
 There was no maid to assist in repairing the hose but soap ap- piled to the runner would keep 1t from spreading. Janet put her foot on chair and carefully rubbed the soap in. She must not smear 1t or pull the threads.
 The door of the room opened and she glanced up quickly. A small girl wearing a short fur coat over velvet dress entered the room. She had very dark eyes and dark hair showing be- meath her bright red turban. Janet had seen her in the res taurant sitting at table with two men and another girl. She was rather pretty and had an air of style though the fur coat and red turban were obviously cheap.
 The other girl seemed to hesi- tate and then came forward. She crossed the room until she was directly in front of Janet. put both hands on her hips and said:
 "I guess you don't remember me, do you? Well, I know you all right and there's something I've got to say to you!"

Harmony Must Rule Their Use Or Silhouette
By RosETTE HARGRovE NEA Service Writer

Paris-The tartan piaids and sophisticated checks in the new and subtle color combinations which are a feature of the spring collection strike joyous note in these difficult times.
 Despite their attractive quality of novelty, however, they need to be used with that unerring sense of harmony which breathes Paris. otherwise they will be found to do all sorts of odd things to the sil- houette and just result in some thing dowdy instead of the chic of the very latest vintage.
 Cotton check fashions the charm ingly youthful and short-sleeved blouse and lines the jacket or coat of the informal type of ensemble or suit. It is also used for intri- cate yoke-and- sleeves without any apparent seams or for generous and jaunty bow ties. The latter should especially be reserved for the young and fresh complexion, as they will be found devastatingly aging to the more mature type of woman.
 Tartans fin Wool.
 For the same reason, the check ed evening dress shown by Vera Borea will appeal to great num- Der of women because of its youth full appeal, but 1t is a style which could be most carefully studied before attempt is made to wear 1t.
 Tartans reappears on the fash ion scene in the guise of wool as well as silk. In wool, 1t is used more generally to finish off . sports ensemble. In silk, 1t fash ions many of the most charming afternoon dresses, and when worn with a dark coat, constitutes what Paris considers an elegant en- semble.
 In chiffon, tartans offer a well come change to the stereotype floral design and in the soft pas- tel colors favored for evening wear they are both becoming and attractive.
 Saslles Supply Contrast
 Cire ribbon sashes in color two or three shades darker than that predominating in the plaid
 
 and often outline the decollete harness, extending to the hem in a train effect.
 Tartan washing silks are ad- mirable for all-around frocks and look extremely smart, especially when completed by triple-flounced sleeves in white organdy on an in- distinct black and white plaid us shown by Worth. An important point to bear in mind when con- a tartan frock is that there absolutely must be 6 reliev- ing note at the neck or sleeves and that it has to be used diagonally to avoid an impression of dumpi- ness.
 Brown and white, blue and white, red and white and black and white are the smart checks in the cotton family. In the silks sometimes a third color is intro- duced, but even the tartans never show more than three.
 Accessories Are Smart
 For women who perhaps will hesitate before a tartan element in their spring wardrobe, there arc a number of consolation prizes in the form of accessories which will supply the 1893 touch effec- lively.
 Many of the leading modistes are showing straw hats with the under lined with check or tartan ribbon and completed by a little scarf to match.
