POWDER ESSENTIAL

DOWDER is no doubt the most
popular item of makeup ensem-
BILE. 1t gives the skin a velvety fin
ish. 1t softens. 1t does all that when
the right shade and the right quail
ity and texture are chosen.
These are the three requisites of
a really good powder. 1t should be
the right shade, quality and texture.
Like your rouge it should har-
mOnize with your skin. The rouge
with the blood tone under your
cheeks-when your color is up. The
powder with the actual skin color.
Here is an excellent test to deter
mine whether you are using the
right shade of powder. When your
skin Is freshly cleansed and you
have used a little skin tonic apply
just dab on the nose, chin, or fore
head. If there is a striking con-
trast between the powder and your
skin, then your powder is all wrong.
Choose good quality of powder.
Your skin deserves the best
Now as to the texture of the pow
der you choose-avoid heavy pow
der. That is mistake many wom-
en- make. They choose heavy pow
der because it stays on longer. But
such a powder looks too obviously
artificial. There are many excel
lent, soft, fine powders that cling
without giving one that powdered
look.
Make sure that your powder is
very delicately perfumed - as a
heavily scented powder Is often
Sive.
Now as to the blending. Use a
meticulously clean powder puff-al-
ways. Soiled puffs are as injuri-
Gus as poor powders. And never
powder hurriedly or carelessly. Fluff
and pat it on--starting on the neck.
Upward and outward. Over the
face-pat-pat. Never rub or scrub
your powder into the skin. Use a
pad of cotton, or swansdown puff.
Fluff and leave the powder on for
several minutes if you have the
time, and then smooth off the ex-
cess. Use fresh piece of cotton or
a velour puff to remove the excess.
Many women prefer using rabbits
foot for this purpose. Powder the
entire face, including forehead and
then use a little eyebrow brush to
remove any powder grains from
brows and lashes.
The very best results can only
be expected when directions are
very closely followed. If you knew
how much time and patience and
thought goes into the thorough test
ing of preparations even after the
formulas are perfected-to discover
what the very best method of appli-
cation is, you would know that there
is very good reason for the di-
rections on jars and bottles or In
circulars enclosed with package.

Safety Pin Is Ancient

Safety pins, instead of being mod
ern inventions, as most people sup
pose, are so old that their origin is
lost in the midst of antiquity, says
Pathfinder Magazine. A very beau
tiful specimen was dug up In
Sweden, the workmanship of which
was quite rich. The ancient safety
pins were made of bronze-an al
10y of copper and tin. 1t was at a
comparatively late date that men
learned how to make a fire hot
enough to smelt iron and make
steel. Most of our safety pins are
still made of brass.

Printing Postage Stamps

Rotogravure, which goes by the
name of photogravure in England
and heliogravure in France, is the
latest process of printing to be
adopted by the postage stamp manu-
facturers. This photo-mechanical
intaglio process reproduces the de-
sign with all the fidelity of a photo
graph and at a fraction of the cost
of line engraving. On the other
hand, it is easier to counterfeit

LOVE AT HOME
BY ANNE CAMPBELL

7 Owe is no morking bird that
L. sings
A thousand miles away,
But a brown wren that blithely
brings
A song to me today.
He perches in my sunny yard,
And trills a song to me
OF common JOY, a task that's hard,
And homes tranquility.
He has no song of a fair land
That lures my heart to roam.
He sings a song | understand,
A simple song of home!

About Garbo's Leads

Before he hoped the boat for
London, Leslie Howard gave out
an interview in which he ex-
planned why he turned down an
opportunity to be leading man
for Greta Carlo in her next re-
lease. l. The part didn't suit
him. 2. Admitting the glamorous
Swede is the most fascinating
actress on the screen today
nevertheless a trail Of ruin has
been left behind in the ranks Of
her leading men. 8. He had an
engagement in London.
Any one Of the reasons is good
enough. About that trail of ruin,
as AL says, let's examine the rec
ord of Garbo leading men:
l. John Gilbert. A faded star
sure enough. He couldn't make

town than the rest. More traf.
fic. More people about. He
didn't like that.
Then, suddenly, came a sound
that turned his blood to ice, It
was a police whistle. He did
not stop, but bent lower, grip
than before. The car shot for
ward. Through the town it
raced at breakneck speed, out
into the open spaces of a coun-
try road.
In the mirror above him, he
could see that he was being fol.
lowed. There was no mistaking
that automobile. It was police
car. He pressed the accelerator
closer to the floor. and yet the
police car gained on him. He
could distinguish the uniforms
of the two officers in the front
seat.
The road swirled in front Of
him as his thoughts beat against
his brain. He had slipped some
where. Or, in spite of his pre-
cautions, someone had seen him.
He tried to figure out what had
happened, but he could not.
His brain had become numb.
They're Gaining
If they caught him-as they
surely would, for they were
gaining on him by inches
he shuddered as he thought
Of what it would mean. Trial
for murder, and the electric
chair. He grew mad in his
desire for more speed. He
jammed the accelerator down
as far as it would go.
There was a treacheroug
curve in the road not many
yards ahead, but he did not
see it. There was a steep
banking that dropped two or
three hundred feet on the
other side of the white fence,
but he didn't know that.
The car faced straight ahead.
The white fence at the road
curve was smashed into splin.
ters. And Rufus Bells car
shot out into space and then
whirled' sickeningly several
times before 1t came to rest
at the bottom of the ledge,
utterly demolished.
The police officers who had
followed him climbed carefully
down the banking, and dragged
his lifeless body from under
the mass Of steel. But Rufus
Bell was beyond any human
help then.
The younger Of the two Of
ficers was new on the force.
This was his first major acci-
dent. He was more or less
shaken as he began to make
out his report.
"Joe," he asked, and
scratched his head in puzzled
fashion, what do you suppose
made him do it? I mean race
away like that??
"He might Of got a ticket,
but hell, that wouldn't be any
thing compared to this. Sneak
ing over the line at a crossing
