The Beauty
Box

SLUGGISH CIRCULATION
chills the little toes, reddens the
nose, unpeps the spirit. II a
girl finds the daily walk bore,
she can get her respiratory
stimulation in front of an open
window. Breathing exercises,
taken night and morning, will
chase carbon dioxide out Of the
lung cells, pump in oxygen,
promote the circulation of the
blood, paint upon pallid cheeks
the kind of roses that can't be
dug out of the old rouge pot.
Stand erect, hands on hips, in
hale and exhale through the
nostrils.
When bathing don't skimp on
lather and do use a bath brush.
Not only for the sake Of clean
illness, but to detach dead skin
scales, inspire the skin to func-
tion as an organ Of elimination.
Securing the entire body sur
face relieves the strain on deli
cate glands on the face, acts
as a factor to rid the complex
ion of blackheads and eruptions.
An extra help is the alcohol
rub. The salt glow is useful.
Moisten a bowl of ordinary table
salt, rub into the flesh, turn on
the tepid spray.
Before getting a new perma-
nent have the hair properly
tapered. Then the ends will be
curly, can be moistened, brushed
around the finger; they will
stay put. A finger wave once
a week for a month or so will
give to the hard-boiled mop a
graceful pattern. The same
design must always be followed
to train the glorious crown.
Changing operators is a mis-
take, gets the hair confused.
Hair falls into habits, bad or
good.
Forming a new outline Of the
mouth by means of the lipstick
is a stunt that doesn't always
pan out very well. Like the little
Cupid'S bow painted on a mouth
that is Of too ample dimensions.
Better to deepen the colorings
in the center Of the upper lip,
letting it do a fadeaway toward
the corners of the mouth than
to try to design an entirely new
pattern. Blue reds and brown
reds are showing up in the lip
stick chorus on the cosmetic
counters.

MEN GIRLS SHOULD SHUN = ] jsS%h @ Variety By
FASHIONS By Wilma La Vile

Suits are the most important
news on the fashion horizon
right now. It's going to be
suit spring, with more suits
worn than any season since the
day Of tailor-mades and high
necked shirtwaists. This is
prophecy that is so generally
agreed upon, that there can be
practically no doubt as to its
fulfillment. These spring suits
will fall into two classes, the
mannish tailored types and the
soft dressmaker suits, and Of
the two, it looks like the tail
ored suits will be smartest and
most popular.
Fer Immediate Wear
It's not too early to talk and
think about a tailored suit, for
not only are the stores show
ing both types, but women are
buying suits of the simpler
kind to wea~ under their win
ter coats now, and without a
coat later on. The best OF
them are made of men's-wear
worsteds, sturdy and some
times rough in texture, and
tailored in the same neat way.
Sharkskin checks, small stripes
such as those you' see in a
mans morning trousers, and
plain fabrics are all good.
Compose suits are excellent,
those with a coat in plain
color and a skirt Of checked
or striped fabric. Some of these
suits have two skirts, one plain,
one patterned, which is a splen-
did idea, as the skirt gets more
hard wear than the coat any
way.
Contrast Is Smart
we've sketched two Of the
smartest tailored suits we've
seen this season. On the left
you see a compose suit. The
jacket is of either navy or
brown worsted with a hard
finish.
The skirt is of a SharkSkin
check in harmonizing color, blue
and white with blue, brown
and white with brown, and is
perfectly plain. This suit is
priced $19.75, and although it
looks quite sophisticated, it is
in junior sizes, II to II.
OF Softer Fabric
The other suit is of a softer
fabric, but is made as severely.
The fabric is a soft crepy
wooden, so soft that it almost
seems to have an angora finish.
but is strong nevertheless. It
has peaked lapels, nipped-in
jacket and plain skirt. There
is a white pique vestee that
gives it a, further trim look. 1t
comes in navy or beige, which
are probably the best spring
colors for suits. It is priced
$3.50, is excellently made, and
comes in junior sizes also.

Tasty DarioIes

These are delicious as well
as economical. You butter
some tiny tin moulds. Sprinkle
them around with chopped
ham, chicken or tongue and
finely chopped parsley. Break
a fresh egg into each mould
and put a little piece of but
ter on each. Stand the moulds
in a stew pan or frying pan,
letting the hot water come
nearly to the top of the
moulds, and cook in the oven
til the eggs are lightly set.
Take them up. pass a small
knife around the mould and
turn chem out on a dish on
little rounds of toast or fried
bread. Pour tomato butter
around them and serve hot for
breakfast or luncheon.

Compensated Bids

Compensated Bids
A compensated bid is one in
which strength of one kind
atones for lack of strength of
another kind. Thus lack Of
strength in major suits requires
added strength in quick tricks.
Lack Of strength in quick tricks
requires added strength in prob
able tricks, so that rebidding
may be carried higher with
safety.
Complementary h a n ds are
those in which strength of one
partner rounds out the sort of
strength lacking by the other
partner. If you are very weak
in quick tricks and long in
probable tricks, due to suit
length, partners assist must be
based upon great quick trick
strength, thus complementing
your own strength in suit

trump length and high honorS.

AS a matrimonial risk he is
distinctly worse than the
Lothario who may be, and
generally is, amusing and at
tractive. Less steady and de-
pendable than the Clam, less
lovable than the Spendthrift,
less wealthy than the Tight
wad-one wonders what spite
the girl ha'' against herself and
her prospects.
Was It Penance.
Or did she perhaps take this

Of choosing homely lady loves?
The Jellyfish scores in his
lovemaking. His methods are
subtle. With gracious servility
he leaves everything to the
lady, and she, mistaking this
lack of backbone for a sub
lime trust in her judgment, is
happy. That quiet, inSinuating,
caressing, flattering way he
has, always wins the confidence
Of his unsuspecting true love.
It isn't d'"ficult to spot the
philandering Lothario. His
grand manner is impressive and
at the same time a fair warn
ing.
The Spendthrift, as his
name implies, is readily dis
cernable. But this Jellyfish-
fellow has protective coloring,
in that he seems to have so
few distinguishing marks. He
is that average sort of man
than even the most conserva-
tive sort of girl is likely to
regard as safe.
She thinks, "Oh. well, he
may not be a world beater, but
he will be faithful" In this
all the native intuition, attrib-
uted to women as the direct
gift of Mother Eve, fails! For
this man who seems so much

In sizing up the Jellyfish,
you do have one advantage.
He is not likely to wage the
type Of campaign that will
rush you off your feet. He is
too easy-going for that.
It is precisely this manner,
however. that most often wins
for him the goal he desires.
This disarming ease, this un-
assuming quality frequently
provides him with a cloak un-
der which his true nature is
hidden.
So mark him well! These

CHAPTER xxxIv

She took exquisite care Of
herself. She had never let her
self grow careless about her ap-
pearance as so many young
wives do when the babies start
coming and the household
cares increase. Every night be-
fore she went to bed she burn
ished her dark hair with a hun
dred strokes of her hair brush.
She carefully manicured her
nails, and she always saw to 1t
that her clothes were spotless.
She was propped UP among
the snowy pillows Of the bed,
deep in the second chapter Of
her book, when she heard Kim
unlock the front door Of the
flat and come down the little
hallway to the bedroom.
After a year and eight
months of married life, her
heart still beat faster at the
sound of his footsteps. Lately
she never knew what mood he
would be in when he stepped
into the flat. The night
before he had had hardly a
word for her, and this morning
he had forgotten to kiss her
when he left for the office.
She had been thinking Of it
all day, telling herself that
doubtless he was worried about
something at the office. AS
he came through the doorway
now, she smiled up at him and
held out a hand. His own fell
slackIy away from hers as soon
as he had touched it. Still

on the bedside table. Il want
to hear all about the clam bake.
I've never been to one, and I've
been wondering if they're any
thing like corn roasts. What
do they do? Build big fires
on the beach and have supper
there?
The Very Way
Kim turned his back to her
and began to take off his neck
tie.
"Yeah, that's the way they
do it," he answered.
He took off his coat and
Mary Faith got out Of bed to
hang it over the back Of the
chair. Then she took his pa
jamas from their hook in the
clothes closet and handed them
to him. She always waited on
him as if she were his servant.
IT was sure I saw you to-
night" she said presently, by
way of making conversation. Il
felt lonesome, so I took the
baby up to Mrs. Puckett's and
had dinner there. On the way
home, I am positive that I saw
you come out of the drug
store"
He swung round then and
looked at her. "Oh, you're
crazy!" he said roughly. $50

Looking For Trouble

Dear Miss Fairfax:

have seven children. I don't
get along with my wife at all.
I work every day and across
from my place of business is a
widow who has five children,
and I am very much in love
with her. I am willing and
anxious for a divorce.
NO. 49,
Five and seven make IL. Are
you contemplating a household
with a dozen children, or are
you proposing to leave yours
and take over the widows five

with who'll you don't get
along? Does she cook, wash,
iron. mend and sew for all
nine. of you? I don't wonder
that she gets cross and peevish
sometimes, if she does. Per
haps that widow with five will
get cross and peevish, too,
when she drops her courting
manners. Besides, my dear
man, in the State from which
you write me. not getting along
with ones wife does not con-
stitute grounds for a divorce.
"He Who Gets Slapped"
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am writing this letter to
find out if a girl is right in slap
ping a man in the face if he
swears before her. One day my
girl chum was talking to some
girls and boys Of her own age,
which is around 18, when one
of the boys started swearing in
a very free manner. The girl
boxed his ears and walked away.
Not long after that. he started
a conversation with her just as
if nothing had happened, and
again he began to swear. So
she boxed his ears a second
time. Then he did the same
thing to her. Which one Of
them was right? My friend said
she did it to teach him a lesson.
ONLOOKER.
Neither was right, as you
must know, my dear. And If
you ask me for an honest opin-
ion, think that eve who gets

and the one who Slapped nim
were just indulging in a bit of
rough and ready filtration, and
neither meant it.

RECOVERY PLAN
TOEL|M|NATE
RACKETEER

NEW YORK, July 19 GN.S0
In addition to driving out child
labor, President Roosevelt's ma
tional industrial recovery act
promises another great social as
we'll as business achievement
driving the racketeer out Of in
dustry.
The racketeer is estimated to
collect $12,000,000,0O0 a year
from business.
Quick End Seen
Under the licensing provisions
of both the industrial recovery
and agriculture acts, the Govern
ment has the power to put a
quick end to this levying Of
tribute on legitimate business by
the gangSter-a levy that is
passed on to the consumer.
The first test of this power is
now being tried by the agri-
cultural acts administration in
Chicago. Licensing has been
ordered in the milk industry, long
a fertile field for the racketeer.
This is the start. If it works
out, similar action will be taken
in other industries.
No single industry is free from
the racketeer. In New York, the
worlds greatest port, it has been
revealed that gangsterS collect a
tribute of three cents on every
hundred weight of freight un-
loaded at the railroad and ship
terminals.
Freight Racket Thrives
The freight racket is known
to every railroad and steamship
executive, as we'll as Government
enforcement agents, but it has
thrived for years virtually un-
molested. And so it has gone
with the other rackets that affect
the price of nearly everything the
average person buys from the
baby's milk to his own suit Of
clothes and coal.
Business men and the Govern
ment, until this Administration,
have worried about the nations S
foreign trade, as an essential to
prosperity, but have done little
to curb the racketeer.
