TAKEN unawares b" the revela-
l. ton. Tommy Rankin had to sum

Prince. Never before, in his career
as a detective, had he encountered
the equal of this brilliantly plotted
and cleverly executed conspiracy
Acquainted finally with every detail

plicated than he had ever imagined !:
the identity of the criminal so un.

He could only gasp In admiration
at the skill and subtlety with which
he had been deceived and baffled.

the correct solution. So daring was

tective's memory. II was based
wholly on his estimation of the mur-
derer's cleverness; yet, with con-
viction approaching certainty. he
realized that If he failed to obtain
that evidence before noon that day,
he could never prove the entire con-
spiracy. He had only the few hours
until morning to save 1t, before ii
would be destroyed; the possibility
that his discovery occurred too late
to prevent that loss gave him a
dreadful qualm. And unless he had

ators might escape him altogether
and his case end in failure. Already

FINE POINTS IN MAKEUP

a LWAYS apply your makeup be-
4 \ fore a good, clear mirror,
preferably one of the magnifying
mirrors which were so very expen-
siye year or so ago but have since
been considerably reduced.
Then, be sure to have that mirror
so that the light from a nearby
window falls over your shoulder
and full on your face without any
distorting shadows. Also when
makeup is used for daytime be sure
it Is applied in daylight and when
intended for evening it should be
applied before artificial lights.
Now let us start changing facial
contours by means of makeup.
When applying rouge, don't color
both cheeks exactly the same. Ma
ture doesn't balance the two halves
of your face, you know. High cheek
bones can be made to look less prom
inent If rouge Is blended directly
over them. HOllows in the cheeks
should be rouged. 1t makes the
face look fuller. A long, thin face
may be made to look broader If the
rouge is blended from the cheek
bones well outward toward the
ears. Bring your color over the
greater portion of the cheek, but
avoid getting the rouge too low as
that gives an old and hard appear
ance and makes the contrast be-
tween powdered neck and rouged
jaw line too great. A very broad
face can be made to look longer or
thinner IL the rouge Is placed lit
tie below the cheek bones and just
a small part of the cheek rouged,
leaving white space between the
nose and the rouged area and again
between the outer edge or rouge and
the ears.
Now for the mouth-do not rouge
a very full lower lip at all. Simply
apply lip paste to the upper lip and
rub the two lips together to get
little color on the lower lip.
For a full upper lip. blend the
rouge so that it fades completely
before reaching the outer edges
that Is the upper lip and outline.
If the mouth Is too long stop the
rouge at little past the center and
blend so that 1t fades completely be-
fore reaching the corners.
The very thin mouth can be made
to look very generous If the rouge Is
carried well up and down to the
edges and a little past the actual
outline Of the lips.
There are any number of little
tricks one can employ to enhance
the work Of Dame Nature Makeup
is fine art. 1t requires practice
and persistent experiment before
perfection Is attained.

WHY SOME TREATMENTS FAIL

I HAVE had great many letters,
the gist of which is: why has
my beauty treatment failed to bring
the desired results?" Occasionally,
it is difficult to say. But, more fire.
quently, there's a reason"
In the first place, too much en-
phasis is put on the local treat
ment and the use of creams and To-
tions and too little said about keep
ing the system trim. Mind you,
am not casting any aspersions on
creams and lotions for l very
strongly advocate their use. But
women are more prone to spend
time and energy and money on
these preparations than on studying
diet and exercising.
If / were selling an acne cream
or lotion l would tell the customer
that the preparation would very
definitely help, providing that her
diet was right, that she was exercis-
ing, watching her system to see
that all waste is regularly elm
mated. In other words, eruptions
are, as a rule, caused by some sys-
temic disturbance, and most fire.
quently indigestion, constipation,
ETC., and the cause must be correct
ed or altogether successful results
cannot be expected from external
applications. Can creams or To-
tions applied to the face correct a
condition of chronic constipation?
No-of course not. Once the cause
Is corrected the creams and lotions
may serve to give the skin a clear
and radiant look, but not before
then.
There are a great many condi-
tions that can be treated by ex-
ternal means, to be sure. Freckles,
for instance, can be bleached from
without. But the majority of skin
and hair conditions need both exter-
nal as well as internal care.
Another reason why some beauty
al uLlouN(COSlu III OuG
woman and quite successful for an
other is simply that skins do differ.
This is very important point.
Women with dry skins need nourish-
ing skin foods. Women with oily
skins need astringents.
Improper methods of application,
disregard of directions, and haphaz-
ard, helter skelter, now and then"
applications instead Of regular, per-
sistent care are other reasons why
treatments fail.
If l advise you to do this or that
| want you to do your part under
standingly. There is definite rea-
son for 1t all. The better you un.
derstand the more faith you will
have. the more direct your efforts
will be, the surer and swifter the re-
suits.

a LWAYS doing the unexpected
fashion is just like that. This
time it is the revival of the shirt
waist dress which Is causing no end
of excitement among followers of
the mode.

schoolroom, and other practical
service, you have but half sensed
the newer meaning of the modern
shirtwaiSt costume
The shirtwaist dress as now is
may be utterly informal or it may
take on formality of highest degree.
The dual role which the modern
shirtwaist costume Is playing is en-
tirely a matter of the material
which fashions 1t.
To be explicit, the smartest and
most out-of-the-ordinary evening
gowns Of the season are shirtwaist
frocks whose skirts are of either
velvet, satin or crepe in black or
some one or other of the very new
dark tones which are so voguish
at present. OF course, to be for
NAL, these skirts go to great lengths,
touching the floor, and even boast
ing trains as most of the latest
night-life frocks do. These form fit

the glamorous bodices that top
them, the same being tailored in
strictly shirtwaist fashion of re-
SPLENDID gold or silver tissue cloth.
The figure sketched in the fore
ground of our illustration is just
such. The skirt is of regal velvet.

TRIMMING TOUCHES
AID TOTS CLOTHES

Children's clothes can easily be
made more attractive by touches of
trimming Bias-trimmed buttonholes,
faggoting, feather stitching, narrow
tucks and tiny crocheted edges give
a smart, handmade look. A good
thread in boilfast colors should al
ways be used in sewing on clothes
that must stand a great deal Of tub
bing and scrubbing.
Buckles are used to fasten most
belts this fall. Large, simple buckles
are put on many sports frocks and
coats. Belts are either of the ma
terial of the costume or of leather.
These buckles have cleverly con-
cealed clasps. Most popular types
are made of composition materials,
either plain or with irregular carv-
ing that gives them a messy appear
ance in harmony with a similar
trend in fabric weaves.
The Coolidge examiner., 1933-12-29

The shirtwaist is just what it
claims to be-strictly q tailored
shirtwaist. 1t is it's material which
performs the magic-a perfectly ex-
quisite lame of tissue weave with a
glitter of rhinestone buttons down
the front. All Of which bespeaks the
sumptuousnes which Is Characters
tic of current evening modes. The
little halo of velvet with its gold
mesh veil is also a necessary eve
ming luxury.
Something of the theme Of the for
NAL shirtwaist is varied in that it
Is fashioned of cleaning satin per-
haps in the new gold color or some
other equally as effective hue. These
satin types are often graced with
twists of self-satin about the neck
line or perhaps they develop a cowl
drape or a soft bertha effect Their
sleeves are also apt to take llber-
ties in that they are short and are
ingeniously pleated or gathered into
the armhole.
In the daytime the smart set is
going about in shirtwaist frocks
which are tailored to a nicely of
black satin, observing meticulously
the rules of patch-pockets, waist
length sleeves, neat belts and prim
collars. The sketch above to the
left in the picture conveys the idea
just the type of dress to wear un-
der comfy" fur coats.
When a daytime shlrtwaist dress
is not of black satin or one of the
new ribbed silk variety, then it is
almost sure to be of modish
bright wooden, the newest thing in
woolens being striped. These gay
stripes made up effectively, as the
shirtwaist frock centered in the
groun bears testimony.
