She took off the outside wrapper. "All blue and silver. Isn't 1t smart I've decided to have our whole house blue and silver this Chrsit- mas"
 You mean our tree ornaments will be blue and silver?" said Bet ty. "That'll be pretty"
 "I'm having a blue tree, with silver bells on it.
 "A blue tree!' croaked Dick. My glory!"
 They have them at Jonathan's. g. They're artificial, of course, but they're a heavenly shade"

 The family roared, all but mother who was in deadly earnest. ! "Go on and laugh, you heath ern," she snapped. But you're all out of date. Christmas tables don go in for the same old drlvel any more; red candles and a poinsettia plant are as stale as hay. Crystal | in colors is the latest thing.

Best thing I can do is go outside and wait until this Lang girl comes out. I'll make some shots of her and then come back and see what I can get on the other one."

Cleansing the skin just isn't the
 weighty problem 1t used to be.
 There are so many comparatively
 new cleansing preparations on the
 market today that any woman has
 a choice of several things which
 are suitable for her particular type
 of skin.
 Modern cleansing creams, of
 course, are grand quick-melting preparations. However, they should
 be followed by a tonic to remove
 excess grease and to close the pores | of the skin.
 For a girl who hasn't time to use
 a cleansing cream followed by @ tonic, there are many liquid clean
 sers which are adequate. One of the newer varieties not only clean
 ses the skin but tones. it up as well. Therefore you don't have to
 finish with a tonic after you have
 used the cleanser. It has a medi- cated smell and makes the face and neck feel refreshed and thoroughly clean.
 Creamy cleansers, containing oils, are marvellous for all types | of skins. They, too, are in liquid from and require a minimum of time for application. The girl who works in an office will find liquid cleansers very help ful. She can take the bottle out of | her desk at lunch time, clean her 1 face and neck, apply fresh makeup and look perfectly charming all af- | ternoon.

This is tough nut to crack, but some psychologists, notably pr Mary May of Yale, are emphasizing the notion that the effect we have on others is the core of personality. Paraphrasing Dr Mays remarks in arecent brilliant lecture on "The Foundations of Personality" if you are asked to describe a friends personality you begin by telling not what he is but how he makes you feel. In reality you are mainly de- scribing, not his reactions but your own. If you say he's "snobbish' you emphasize how his swagger makes you feel. Dr May argues, therefore.

against the high-handed action
of the legislature in forbidding
community to lay a school tax
upon itself.
A citizen of Chapel Hill whose
property is assessed at $4,000
pays $3.50 in taxes for the cur
rent expenses of the school. This
payment makes possible a nine
months term and a teachers sal
ary level a little higher than that
established by the state. What
the legislature now says to the
citizen is: 1--WE will relieve you
of that $3.50 in taxes and by
so doing we will reduce your
school term from nine to eight
months, cut your teachers pay,
and put your school down to the
level of the poorest school in a
country settlement where the
people are not willing to tax
themselves for better education.
By reason of the change from a
nine-months to an eight-months
term your children, in the course
of their eleven years of school
age. will lose more than a full
year Of school training"
"Do. you mean that we people
in Chapel Hill can't have a de-
cent school even if we are will
ing to tax ourselves for it"'
asks the citizen in amaZement.
That's exactly what we
mean," replies the legislature.

ter. Whether you are willing
to pay for it or not, you can't

Ted Shawn in Village
To Visit Phoebe Barr
Celebrated Dancer Sees His Former
Pupils Class in Rehearsal

Ted Shawn, Americas great
est male dancer, accustomed to
posters and press notices wher-
ever he goes, came unheralded
to Chapel Hill this week. His
purpose was to visit his friend
and a former member of his
company, Phoebe Barr, who is
now on the staff of the Carolina
Playmakers as director of dane
ing and is teaching classes in
dancing for students and others
connected with the University.
Mr.. Shawn; his pianist, Mary
Campbell and a member of his
company, Barton Mumaw, were
an audience for Mrs. Barr S
classes in a rehearsal of Vachel
Lindsay's The Congo" and a
demonstration of the class work
Monday evening. "The Congo
is being prepared for presenta-
tion in the Playmakers Theatre
some time soon.
AS one of the pioneer propon-
ents of dance education as well
as the dance art, along with his
wife, Miss Ruth st. Denis, and
Isadore Duncan, Mr.. Shawn has
for 18 years looked forward to
the time when dancing would
become a part of the curriculum
of every school and university,
as essential training not only
for persons craving freedom of

sire poise and ease in any of the
more prosaic pursuits.
The dominant interest of Mr..
Shawn has been to impress upon
others his own conviction that
the dance, to be a genuine art
form, must have the full scope
of masculine as we'll as feminine
expression. Having just come
from Springfield College, in
Massachusetts, where he has
taught large classes composed
only of men. and where he has
had in his classes there many of
the prominent athletes, he was
delighted that the same work
had been launched in the Uni
versity here by one of his pupils
He was so anxious to see Mrs.
Rarr's students and to encourage
the classes in their work that he
came by Chapel Hill on his way
to Texas for a series of lecture
concerts. He was enthusiastic,
not only over the choreography
which Airs. Barr has worked out
for The Congo" but also over
the spirit and finish with which
the students worked. Frankly,

in addition to the SAT- allowed
by the state, and for light and
water the district had, to add
1921 to the states allowance of
$123.
Under the proposed law the
community will be forbidden to
tax itself for any service, as
we'll as for teachers salaries and
it appears that there may not be
money enough to meet the low
est reasonable requirements for
the maintenance Of the school
plant.
The Chapel Hill school tax rate
is SO cents, made up of 81 cents
for current expense, Is cents for
debt service, and | cent for cap
iital outlay. This l cent has to
cover all repairs, additions and
improvements. The bill now in
the legislature leaves the debt
service levy as it is, and prob
ably the capital outlay levy, but
it wipes out the 81 cents for cur
rent expense.
The abolition of the local
levies which have built up the
schools of good standards all
over the state is part of the tax
reduction program about which
SO much has been said recently
in the newspapers. OF course
owners of real estate are suppos-
ed to want their taxes reduced,

to $120. The 80 per cent cut
from the 1880 basis carries it
down to 1884 a month; but the
cut in earnings is still greater
because the teacher will be paid
for eight months instead of nine.
Thus her earnings for the year
will be S746.72 as against $1,000
in 1880, a reduction of 38 per
cent.
The lowest salary, for a col
lege graduate with Grade A
certificate, was $10O under the
1880 scale. 1t will be $40 under
the proposed new scale. Since
the term is cut from eight to
nine months, the teachers earn
ings for the year will be $3.50 as
against 5000 in 1880, reduction
of 38 per cent.
