BETSY CASWELL TELLS ARE
Even Finest Skin
Needs Expert
Treatment
BY LISA DUMONT

No matter how proud you
are of a lovely complexion, you
need not gloat. For unless
you care for your skin there
will come time when you will
regret your neglect.
The finest skin in the world
needs careful attention; in
fact, the thinner the texture
of the skin, the more attention
it should have to preserve its
loveliness.
Expert Touch
In the search for new ma
terial, we have discovered a
treatment which will do all OF
these things and more. A
facial mask is included in the
routine.
This mask is distinguished
from most of the others for
several reasons. First, it is not
drying to the skin. Although
it does not increase the oil
supply of the glands, it does
not diminish it, which sets it
apart from many similar treat
ments. Second, it bleaches the
skin evenly and tightens the
outer layer and when it is re-
moved, it leaves the skin glow
ing and soft.
With Regularity
If women would care for
their skins regularly night and
morning in between such a
treatment, they would have
less cause to worry about
weather. beaten complexion.
The rest of the facial con-
Sists of the following routine:
A thorough cleansing of the
skin; the application of a stim-
ulating cream which brings the
blood to the surface; more
creams, a skin tonic, then the
new mask, a soothing cream,
patting with skilled profess
sional hands; and a tie-up.
After all this is accomplished,
and even a few more touches,
you are then made up" in just
the proper cosmetics to suit
your coloring, sent out into the
air once more to face the
world with what feels like a
brand new skin.

heavy hips. But if you're Mrs.
Every Woman you can get
equally good results by follow
ing a few fundamental fashion
laws.
StreamlineS
For example, if you're the
short, but not-So slim type of
figure, you've probably develop
ed a well-nourished grievance
against fate in general for not
making you streamline model
with plenty of knee-aetion.
While it is true that most
fashion figures in the maga-
zines seem to be modelled after
the Empire State Building, still
it is heartening to remember
that some of our most success
full heart-breakers have lacked
something of five 'eet-and
haven't gone out of circulation
on that account!
First OF all, the short, heavy
woman's clothes should increase
her height, for she is apt to
look shorter than the slim
woman who is actually no taller
by the tape measure test.
Vertical or diagonal lines, if
deftly placed. will help her turn
the trick; horizontal lines are a

positive menace. Some Of the
new striped shirtmaker frocks
with the stripes running up and
down, or the new diagonal
prints now being shown for
spring are the answer to the
little woman's prayers, since
they give her height without
bulk.
Deep V ntcklines and narrow,
flat collars instead of the flared
reverS of the "Windblown" sill
houette will also help balance
the figure and bring it int bet
ter proportion.
But borders on the bottoms of
any costume, whether of con-
trasting color, fabric or fur,
should be avoided, for they tend
to cut height, especially if the
legs are short.
For the same reason, tunic
dresses and three-quarter coats
are difficult, because they
create a break in the length
that is most unbecCming. Full
length coats are much better, or
if short jacket must be worn,
have it come well over the hips,
and match the skirt material.
Slum FuSSineSS
Another important "remem.
ber" is that fussy details tend
to increase the apparent size of
the figure-floating draperies,
fluffy bows, too many acces-
sories. all 2dd to the apparent
width. Trim-fitting frocks. but
not so tight that they reveal
the curves better left unseen,
are the best bet-for example,
semi-fitted princesse frock is
frequently most flattering.
And fabrics can add or sub
tract pounds and inches from
your figure, if you know the

Advice to the

She's Addicted to Crocheting
Dear Miss Fairfax:
For three years I've been 60
ing with a girl; I'm terribly in
love with her, and know that at
one time she loved me. But I'm
afraid I shall leave her, unless
I find some way of composing
our differences.
About Is months ago this girl
learned to crochet, and from
that time to the present she
crochets all the time I'm there.
She doesn't even stop long
enough to dress for the evening".
md on Sunday she's never
ready when I call ia take her
out.
Some time ago she told ne
she WIS underw light, and the
doctor told her she'd have to
g. to bed earlier and get more
sleep, so about 10 o'clock she
puts up her crocheting and
have to go home. But some
times, when I call Unexpectedly,
I find that she has gone out
with a "big shot," and they do
not get home until in the morn
ing. I do not think she takes

very little lipstick to the lower

some color, and again don't

It is a temptation, Of course,
to remind the child at times
that he is only a very little boy.
Children love to brag, and brag-
ging gets on anyone'S nerves.
Nice Distinction
But it is a dangerous business
to entirely remove conceit from
any individual, whether it is a
child or adult.
Only the diffident, self-con-
scious man or woman realizes
the blessing of self-confidence.
The tortures suffered by such
handicapped people are indie
scribable.
Seeds of self-confidence are
sown in childhood. There must
be made, of course, nice. dis
tinction between proper appre-
citation of one's-self and bump
tiousness, but the danger in
child training is rather on the
side OF Cne former.
Just a few "belittling" words
will do years of damage to
youngsters.
Underneath t h cir apparent
self confidence there is always
a strain of doubt. They are
conscious, even when they least
appear to be so, of the fact that
they are relatively unimportant.
The most boastful child in his
heart is apt to be the least self
confident. His Dragging is only
whistling in the dark to keep
up his courage.
Proper Balance
He tells tall tales of Staying
elephants and tigers because he
is really scared to death of the
big dog next door. He slaugh-
ters giants because the bully in
the next block has him utterly
terrified.
To keep a proper balance be-
tween real Self-confidence and
conceit, the mother must un-
derstand her child thoroughly.
She must be quick to detect
the background of his boast
ing. And she must realize that

wrong moment may leave scars
from which the child will never

They say. that certain men
tai cases resume the pre-
natal position, arms and legs
doubled up. and remain in that
attitude for hours because they

their size is against them,

Hollywood has created such a
stir in the fashion world for the
past few years that it cannot
be ignored. And now stores are
beginning to open shops for the
special showing of Hollywood
clothes. Nothing could attest
more strongly to the fashion
power of Hollywood.
In Tune With Paris
After awhile you may know
the names of our own West
Coast designers as we'll as you
know those of the Paris cou-
turiers.
It will not actually change
trends, or bring about an en-
tirely new type of clothes, for
the Hollywood and Paris people
are both attuned to modern life,
and manage to arrive at the
same general conclusions.
If you'll notice, spring clothes
the world over are very much
the same in general color and
line, no matter where they were
created.
Advance Models
We're showing two advance
models from Washington's Gin
ema shop today. One is worn
by Helen Hayes, we'll known
home town girl who made
good" It's fitting that her
picture should appear in the
first story of Washington's Gin
ema shop.
She wears a lovely afternoon
or daytime gown of rough silk
crepe, and it comes in good
spring colors, aquamarine, med
ium green, or beige. 1t is
priced $22 IS. which is within ,
the reach of most of us, and is
in misses sizes.
For General Wear
Peggy Sh9nnon wears the
other dress. It's a clever IN
between type. which will do tor
street. because it's a dark crepe,
and will also be smart for the
cocktail hour, because of IT'S
satin-striped chiffon sic ewes.
Peggy is pictured in the oreSs
in a lighter color, but 1t is
stocked in the downtown shop
in navy or black.
White silk pique makes the
collar. and also small cuffs,
which is just little different
from the dress pictured. Other
wise it is the same. This dress
sells for $1750, and is also in
misses sizes.
For the name of the store
showing these dresses, write
