Cosmetics should be used to em' phaslsc your own natural beauty
 The wise woman does not only apply makeup in an effort tc change her appearance. She useA it to bring out the good points or her face and to obliterato the bau ones,
 A famous American manuiac, turer of cosmetics says that all women should concentrate on im- proving the appearance of their eyes. Artists, sculptors and beau- ty authorities agree that beauti- ful eyes practically assure Q wo- man of true natural beauty. Therc- fore, choose your eye cosmetics carefully. See that they fiatter your eyes.
 Use of Rouge Putting rouge high on your checks and blending 1t upward toward your eyes will help to keep the interest In your face cen- tered where 1t should be. Cosmetics are intended to make you look natural and heaithy. There Is simply no use in using an orange toned powder over skin which has a heaithfui. warm pink glow. You defeat the pvr- pose of makeup when you make that mistake.
 Lipstick. of course. should he used to put natural-lookins shade on lips that lack color. The best way to determine just what color lipstick you need Is to pinch your lips and then survey them m a mirror. The color that they bee | come after the pinch Is about the shade which you should select in q lipstick, <

Sue heard Sarah Lou tell Jack that his wife was waiting. miles away, to talk to him. And as suddenly Sue didn't want to talk to him, He would think that she was spying, Spying! But why should he have attributed such an action to her, she wondered. odd the way life worked out for people
 "Never mind, Sarah Lou. just wondered if you were all right. goodby!"
 Sue hung up the receiver. sev- ering the connection. At the other | end of the line Jack would be hur- ryins to the telephone. He would probably be relieved to find that she was gone. that he wouldn't have to explain to her. Yes, she was sure that he would be re- iieved. Let him stay out with other people, let him have good time. She wouldn't care, she wouldn't, she wouldn't!
 If he had done 1t before. f the hour hadn't been so late, she wouldn't have been 50 tempera- m entai. But all of a sudden she wanted to hurt him. To hurt him cruelty and q little terribly. The telephone began to ring. She didn't answer. It rang again. Still paid no attention to it. But tho persistence of the pealinE couldn't be denied. She picked up the instrument.

 "Mrs Thornton? I have a iong distance cali for you. Do you want to take it?"
 "No, please tell the party I've retired" once more she walked to the window. The curious tight pain at her heart; tho choking lump in her throat, wouldn't give and wouldn't break.

 So he was avoiding the subject! He thought he could take a girl out and keep her out until three o'clock in tho morning and 1t would be perfectly all right.

 "Oh. no, not at all, I've always thought you ought to take other women to dinner. We must sec that you do 1t more often" It would have been all right If her voice hadn't broken.

The ruffied window drape, the quaint simplicity of the wall covering, the design of the dresser, a rich dark note against the lighter wall, are all delightful.

CHAPTER xxvII

How she survived that day Eve never knew. She had felt i'll with nervousness from the time the mis- taken in the advertisement was dis covered Friday until closing hour Saturday. over and over sine tried to figure mentally how long i: would take her to earn $2,000 .Then she thought of how muck she would have to earn before she could save that amount from her salary. This was mental punish- ment purely. The loss due to the mistake would fall on Bixby's.
 "T'll be afraid to face MT Barnes Monday morning" Eve told Arlene T don't see how can ever live this downi"
 What the error was to cost her Eve could only guess. ~
 Saturday evening Dick took Eve to dinner at @ popular restaurant known as the Old Plantation. The atmosphere was. that of the fos- pitable old south. Pretty mulatto girls, wearing bandanas and checked Eingham dresses, served Maryland fried chicken and corn fritters. A string quartet played lively tunes and Eve soon found herself dancing with spirit.
 Later they were joined by Q group of Dicks business friends and she enjoyed the evening 50 much she was almost able to for- get that Bixby's had lost s2,000 through a mistake in her depart. ment.
 The next day she and Dick went for a long ride in the country. Eve arrived homo tired and sleepy from being so long in the fresh air. But Monday morning as she neared the office she began to feel ner- vous. Barnes would be back to- day and the dreaded interview must take place. .5
 The advertising manager sum- noned her to his office at 9:30. Eve managed q tremulous smile as she entered but Barnes face was girm, his voice crisp. e
 ' scarcely need tell you, Mrs Rader," he began, "that the price error in Saturdays coat advertise ment was the worst of the kind the store has ever had. am amazed that you should have permitted such q blunder."
 Eve started to speak but he si- ienced her with curt gesture. "ft is one of the things that simply cannot be explained away or smcothed over," he continued.

The Nickel Fare
A Necessary Experiment

The order Of the Public Utilities Commission requiring the
Washington Railway and Electric Company try the
ecent fare the socaed Fourteenth Street loop
as q welcome surprise.
The loop itself is scarcely important considering the number
Of passengers likely to avail themselves of the service and
this instance could not generally be termed fair trial Of
the principle Of the reduced fare for the short haul
Nevertheless the order important precedent and one
which likely have far-reaching effect upon the mass
transportation situation of the city
The Importance of the order attaches to the fact that the
commission at last to be ready deal vigorously with
problem which has been allowed drift without rudder
pilot
The street companies of the city have been going
bad to worse.
Financially they in bad shape and consequently the
transportation facilities of city are endangered
Facing steadily declining the companies have
done nothing constructive the competition which has
been driving them to the wall
Their only response the summons of disaster has been
to petition for increases in rates.
Unfortunately the Public Utilities Commission has hereto
fore yielded only too readily the companies petitions The
result has been that increasing fares have driven woudbe
car riders to other forms of transportation.
The vicious circle which has thus been set in motion can
be stopped and must be stopped the great majority Of
Washgonans be given the transportation service
which they must have
The commission in its opinion this case points the wav
to the street companies in following comment:
The falling off of its patronage Uth the cOnse-
quent loss of earnings is DUE in part, the failure
of the street railways keep abreast of the de-
"onds of the public for modern transportation
service.
"New and up-to-date equipnnent faster schedules.
better routing, free intcr-company transfers. in
fOrmatiOc advertising and proper merchandising of
the service rendered would tend to COMPETE
tion from other forms of transportation and help
to regain lost patronage.

one-tune monopoly on transportation The day has
passed UOhen the needs of the public can be
ignored"
All Of this important but the last is particularly

Rich Market

In other words, 100000 acres
Of our cotton fields were util-
lied by American farmers to
supply the demand in the
Philippines for American cotton
goods.
In the same year, our iron and
steel mills, foundries, metallurgi.
cal and machine shops sold to
the Philippines $21,O00,000 Of
iron and steel products, tools
and machines.
Mineral oils supplied to the
Philippines by the petroleum in
duStry of the United States in
1929 totaled in value $8,O00,000.
American automobile factories
shipped in the same year to
those islands 3,700 trucks and
$500 automobiles.
And the American ships car
ried across the Pacific to the
same islands all these other
American products carried also
5000, 900 bushels of wheat grown
by American farmers on 100000
acres, and American dairy
products valued at nearly S.
900, 1000.
Last year the Philippines
ranked ninth among tt.>1 10 best
customers of the United States,
and during the first quarter Of
this year, they have advanced
to the seventh place ameng the
10 best customers of this coun-
try.
It is not surprising that the
Philippine government protested
against the unfair proposal that
the estimated production Of
Philippine sugar should be re-
duced by 80 per cent. What is
surprising is that any American
governmental agency should
have made a proposal so obVi-
ously destructive of one Of the
best markets that American
farmers and manufacturers have
anywhere in the world today.

Versatile

OF these two paintings, Mona
Lisa" and THE Last Supper"
the world will never tire as
long as a fragment of either
remains. But behind them is
the painters own marvellous
career, the career of a tre-
mendouS thinker whose YER
satility was astounding and
whose imagination was bound
less.
He glimpsed the secret of
the circulation of the blood.
He deduced the law of gravita-
ton before there dropped upon
the head of the Astronomer
Newton the apple which revolu.
tionized science. He discovered
the effect of the moon upon
the tides. He was the inventor
of the wheelbarrow and of the
spring hinge. He not only
foresaw the airplane but tried
to ouild one. He designed an
automobile to be propelled by
springs and gearS-and all
this 400 years ago.
He was a sculptor fit to
grasp the hand of Michel
angelo. He was an architect
who dreamed of thu great cities
We know today. He was a
marvellous military engineer
and served under Caesar Bor-
gia in the Italian wars. In
his declining years he turned
his superhuman talents to study
and painting. His Mona Lisa"
was a living woman, the third
wife of Florentine gentleman,
Francesca del Giocondo, in the
days of the Medicis. Whatever
trick of geometry he may have
employed, the great Leonardo
perceived, behind the eyes of
that beautiful Florentine, the
secret of femininity. of woman's
lure for man, of Woman'S
amused tolerance for man.
Twenty years ago the paint
ing was cut from its frame and
stolen from the Louvre by a
workma named Vincenzo
Perugia, who gave as his rea-
son for the theft which startled
the world that he wanted the
portrait to go back to Italy
where it belonged.
