Beneath the Mask

Beneath the Mask
These are the masks men wear
To hide the truth from sight:
The dark design OF care,
Forebiding as the night:
The masks Of hate and fear.
The Sullen mask of pride;
They don them year by year
And shut themselves inside.
But I have learned to read
The thoughts beneath the mask;
The longing and the need,
The courage for the task;
And I have found behind
Grim looks and visage cold
Hearts that are true and kind,
Where dreams like flowers un-
fold.
In masks men often go,
In masks of scorn or mirth;
But, safe beneath, I know
Are honor, valor, worth.
All, it is good to feel,
In spite of masks men wear,
Life will at last reveal
The virtues hidden there!

toes out as was taught erro-
neously years ago.
The weight of the body
should be supported on the
outside rather than the inside
of the feet. The toes should
really grip the ground to
preserve the inner arch, and
there should be ample room
for toe freedom: otherwise
expect weak arches.
Corns are probably the most
common annoyance Of the
feet and most painful when
allowed to go unattended.
They are caused by friction
and pressure. Too large or
too tight shoes will cause the
skin to harden and form a
cone shaped mass which
presses on the nerves.
There are many methods Of
removing cornS. You may
choose corn plasters, salves, or
liquids, or you may rub them
with a pumice stone after hav-
ing soaked them in hot water.
But do not cut them your
self. for the danger of cutting
them too deeply and the
chances of infection are too
great to run the risk. Visit a
competent chiropodist. There
are a great many first class ones
here in Washington, in the lead
ing beauty shops, and also in
. business for themselves.
After the bath, it is most i'm
portant to dry the feet thor
oughly, especially between the
toes, and never fail to massage
them we'll with soothing lotion
or cream, rubbing upward to-
ward the knee. This is recon-
rnended for you next winter to
prevent roughened, chapped, ir-
ritated skin.
The toenails should be
trimmed straight across the toes
at least once week (nippers
are probably better than scis-
sors) after which the nails
should be softened with an
emery board in order to pre-
vent pulling silk stockings as
they are donned, and to avoid
wearing holes in the toes.
Ingrown Nails
Do not, however, cut the
toenails toU short, or ingroWn
nails are likely to result. These
should be treated without de-
lay. Pack under the toenail
a bit of cotton by gentle mo-
tions with an orange stick to
relieve the pressure of the nail
until the Inflammation sub
sides and the nail is trained
outward. Go to a chiropodist
If the toe becomes inflamed.
Blisters should also be
watched. Spirits of camphor
help to dry them up.
Change your stockings every
day and wear a different pair
of shoes daily. Even if you
possess but two pairs, wear
them on alternate days. Battle
your feet frequently in cool
water, and massage them with
soothing lotions or powders.
Remember, there's nothing
as bad for your disposition as
tender feet.
The Washington times., 1933-08-17

We pay scant attention to
our feet, yet how dependent
we are on them for our very
existence.
There are no fewer than
26 little bones in each foot,
not to mention the numerous
nerves, tendons, muscles, liga-
ments, and blood vessels.
Not only must the weight of
the body be supported by the
feet, but they must be ready
and willing at all times to
take us at high or low speed,
where we will.

toes pointing straight ahead?
You should never turn your

Jacket Comes Off
Mousseline de sole makes a
removable capelet and sleeves
for a dark silk dress, that has
been seen both on Connecticut
Avenue and downtown. With
out this jacket, the gown is a
sleek, sophisticated fairly
smooth crepe, with slim lines
and fairly low decolletage.
Flowers of the mousseline de
sole decorate the front Of the
dress, and serve to hold the
cape in place when it is on.
If you want to make a dinner
or supper dress of it, add the
capelet, which is doubled and
has sleeves with double flounces
It's a little short affair that

A welcome return is being
staged by the black satin
buckled pump for evening wear.
A smart house is showing a bag
and shoe set with the shoe in
satin edged with silver and
with a rhinestone buckle
backed with pleated satin. The
bag is of satin with a chain
handle Of silver and large cry
stalls.
Lots Of spots will be seen
again this spring since the new
collections again stress the,
spotted theme. A new evening
frock is of black mousseline de
sole with embroidered dots of
silver thread. There is a little
matching cape fastened with a
silver ornament.
Always difficult is the frock
that is suitable for all occa-
sions. Such a model is a lovely
frock Of tobacco brown marc
cain with sleeves in the same
shade but of cire lace. There
is a triangular inset Of the lace
in the draped bodice.
Simply sumptuous is a long,

shade of pale hyacinth. The

being Of the velvet.

clarer, Y should at once see this
possibility. To do this he must
find adverse hearts divided 4-3,
and trumpS divided 80, and be
able to guess which adversary
holds the missing @ of dia-

declarer a $3.50 chance for a
grand slam, in case either a
small slam or a grand slam
has been bid.
Suppose B makes an opening

heart and ruff. Lead the j of

holds the trick. Lead a small
trump, and win with dummy's
Ace, giving the fourth straight
trick, and assuring a grand
slam.
Lead a small heart and trump,
thus establishing four good
hearts in dummy. Lead the K
Of trumps, picking up BIS last
trump, and leaving one good
trump in the declaring hand,
with which to trump himself
: back into his own hand. Thus
far the declarer has won six
tricks, consisting Of one spade
trick and five diamond tricks.
The seventh trick must be won
with dummy's Ace of clubs.
The next four tricks are taken
with the four good hearts in

cards four clubs. Declarer
trumps a spade lead, then leads

What Is Orange
Pekoe Tea?

When you buy tea from your
grocer you probably ask for
blanks brand Orange Pekoe
and think by so doing you are
ordering the best. You may be,
and then again you may not.
Through misuse, the term
Orange Pekoe has become
synonymous with fine quality
tea. In reality, this is far from
being the case. Orange Pekoe
is actually a term used by tea
experts to denote the size of the
tea leaf and has nothing what
ever to do with the quality Of
the tea. An Orange Pekoe tea
may indeed be a very fine tea,
but it also may be a very bad
one, depending upon how it was
grown and manufactured.
All fine teas are what is
known as high grown" That
is, they are raised on tea estates
located high on the hills in Cey-
lon, Indian, China, Japan, or
the other tea-growing countries.
Low grown" teas originate from
estates planted on the plains
and never attain the quality Of
the "high grown" teas.
If your Orange Pekoe tea is
high grown and manufactured
by an established firm, it will
very likely be fine tea, but if it
comes from an estate situated
in the lowlands, its quality and
flavor will probably disappoint
you.

Parents may think they
know, but actually it is impoS-
sible to figure out exactly what
is going on ir a child's mind.
Children appear so innocent,
so free from deception, so
gullible! AS a matter Of fact,
they are nothing of the kind.
A child may seem carefree
and happy, yet be brooding
secretly over guilt feelings. A
boy may be in love with his
school teacher and never give
the slightest hint Of what is go
ing on in his mind. A little
girl may feel unhappy because
Of a notion that she Is no
longer a favorite child, yet
deny it when questioned on
the subject. These are but q
few examples Of what may be
tugging at a child's heart
strings while the mother and
father remain entirely unsus-
pecClng.

den thoughts and fancies may
take on a decidedly pro-
nounced morbid coloring. Sex
ideas are common in this cate

they usually consider them
naughty and, instead Of dis
cussing them with the mother,
they repress them as much as
possible and accuse themselves
no end.

prevalent during childhood, one
should also mention compul-

To what beauty party do you
belong? Ask yourself that ques-
ton. Are you a liberal, taking
a broad view Of each new fash
ion and beauty fad, believing
that changes stimulate the cir
culation, pep up the spirit? Do
you seek what is new, embrace
it, find a new thrill? Or, are
you a conservative, sticking to
the old ways, finding them
plenty good enough? It's better,
more fun, my hearty, to skip
along with the pageant. Keeps
one young, pleases the woman

CHAPTER xxxvII

It was a day or two after
Christmas that Kim said to
Mary Faith:
"Did Claire say anything to
you about a party on New
Years Eve2 Jack tells me
they're planning a party for
that night. Would you like
to go?"
Mary Faith knew what a
New Years Eve party at the
Maldon home would be like.
The tea-wagon would be loaded
with glasses and bottles and
cracked ice. There would be
more cracked ice in the kitchen.
The bridge tables would be set
up, and there would be frozen
fruit salad and toasted cheese
and anchovy paste sandwiches.
There would be drinking and
dancing and a great deal Of
noise. Kim would disappear
into the kitchen to help Claire
make punch, and his gray eyes
would become glazed and blood
shot as the night wore on.

while wild west" life or a

Perhaps the worst of the
morbid impulses to be found
among children, especially
about the time of puberty, are
thoughts of self-deStruction.
Such suicidal ideas may start
from a trivial reason, such as
a feeling of being misunder-

Of wrong doing. If parents
knew that such thoughts were
dominating their child's mind
it surely would help, but in
many cases the trouble is that
