BY JULIET SHELBY,
The Beauty Reporter

You know what women think
Of q man who is careless about
the details Of his appearances.
But what do you suppose men
think Of women who are care
less with their skins and allow
their coAplexons to become un-
slightly?
The first essential for inteI1i'
gent skin care Is to be complex"
ion conscious. BY this I means
that you should know which
type Of skin you have. Next
you must understand the basic
principles Of skin care that
apply to your type Of skin. The
third step is knowing how to
select the preparations that will
carry out these principles.
One Of the simplest and most
inexpensive treatments I have
seen recently for logical skin
care is a little set consisting Of
two jars and a bottle, in two
versions-one for dry and one
for normal or oily skin.
Out Of one Of the jars comes
the first touch Of magic. It Is
a cleansing cream, to be care
fully applied with the tips Of
the fingers-not heavily, as
though simonizing the family
car, but thoroughly. While
lifting every vestige Of foreign
matter from the pores, it softens
and Soothes the skin.
Lubricating constitutes the
second step Of the treatment.
This step varies, depending upon
the type of skin you have,
The third step, which is the
morning part Of the treatment,
Is stimulation, and for this also
there are different preparations
for the different types Of skin.
The stimulant-a lotion applied
with a bit Of cotton-wakes up
the skin, makes it alive and vital
and gives it q fresh, healthy
glow that comes from active,
eager blood circulation.
And as q final touch Of magic

fierS costs not much more than
the price Of one visit to the

P4dAuSS WHICH Is mOSG Q1SGraC
"Harper's Bazaar" says that
all this check and plaid business
comes from the stables, and
now that the idea has come up,
SO it seems. Every creature
from the stable boy to the horse
wears checks and plaids around
the paddock.
Louder and Smarter
The spring theme seems to be
that the louder you are the
smarter, just so you use your
checks and plaids in the right
way. It's safe to have only one
vivid pattern, with all the rest
monotones.
Your coat or suit can be
checked, or suits Of checked or
plaid jacket with plain skirt are
smart. Plain materials for
everything else must be used.
Hollywood Stroller
A favorite coat already, and
the spring Is young, is the Holly
wood stroller. It's a plain long
coat with raglan sleeves, wide
notched lapels and collar, and
it's wrap-around. That means
that it Is cut wide and held shut

There are any number Of va

by Q clever and imaginative
hostess.
Like Vodka
Nine. do Wichfeld says that
the proper drink with, Danish
hors d'oeuvres is Aalborg's
Akuavit, used in place Of cock
tail, and served in smaller
glasses. This is very much like
the Russian vodka, being q
colorlesS liquor and exceedingly
fiery. The. Danish Akuavit is
made from barley, and the
Swedish is made from potatoes,
but the result is substantially
the same.
After dinner one may drink as a
1iqueur, Heering'S cherry brandy,
which Is q Danish product and
famous throughout the world as
the best Of its kind.
Denmark Is not q wine pro-
ducing country, due to its cli-
matte conditions, but, added to
its Akuavit, and its cherry
brandy, it is noted for most de-
liciouS beers, mainly the "Tu-
borg's Beer" and "Carlsberg's
BeerH which can now be pro-
cured In America.
The Danish accompaniment to
beer is the "Smoorebrod," which
consists Of all kinds Of delicious
and unusual sandwiches, much
enjoyed by visitors to Denmark,
as one Of their first experiences
in that country.
Smoked Eel
Danish food, in general, is very
rich, but somehow I have never
seen fat Dane, and the women
have the most exquisite COM
plexlonS, so perhaps the climate
turns all the food into an energy
builder, instead Of a fattening
agent.
I shudder to think what would
happen to us during a Washing
ton summer, If we went on q
Danish diet. It is all so deli
ciouS and so tempting, that re-
siStance is all but impossible,
and I know that I, for one, would
have to have q special elevator
built to hoist me up and down
If I were confronted daily with
"SmorgaSbord" in all its glory.
Nine. de Wichfeld has found
Q place here in Washington
where the real Danish smoked
eel may be purchased, and has
given me the name. AS you prob
ably know, the worst part Of a
smoked eel is it's name-the
article itself is really very good,
indeed, and makes an excellent
appetizer.

Roosevelt Thinks Chances of
s Per Cent "TerribIe";;
Hasn't a Free Hand

President Roosevelt probably
will make a statement late today
on elimination Of the pay cut to
which Federal workers were sub
iected in the late economy drive.
This was said today at the
White House press conference at
which Mr.. Roosevelt was asked
what chances the clerks had Of
getting back at least 6 per cent
Of their pay cut. He laughed
and said:
"TerribIe-terribIe."
This was taken to mean any
elimination viii be much less than
6 per cent. The workers were
cut IS per cent.
It also was brought cut at to-
days conference that Mr.. Roose-
velt had sent back to the Depart
ment of Labor for insertion Of
more figures and other informa-
tion the statistical data sent him
on the cost of living.
President Roosevelt, it was
pointed out at the conference, is
bound by law and he does not
have an entirely free hand in ad-
justing the difference in pay.
He intends to study the addl-
tional data to be sent him today
and said he probably will make a
statement late today.
