It's bad business to show insect
pests any mercy. They have none
for you. The best time to get rid
of them is before they come. The
best way of prevention is DETHoL.
Make DETHoL part of the
weekly cleaning operation. After
the scrubbing and dusting, clean
with DETHoL all the dark, hidden
places where mops and brushes can
never reach. Spray powerful
DETHoL into the corners and cram
nies. Spray the rooms and the clos
cts. DETHoL makes the house clean
keeps it clean. For safety's
sake, use DETHoL every week. On
sale at drug, grocery, hardware and
department stores.
For greatest effectiveness:
Spray DETHoL full strength
in closed rooms. AH insects

He Tells Her She's Too Shabby
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I had been going with a boy
for almost a year, and then
he went away to New York.
He used to do everything I
asked him, and he gave me
lots of lovely things because
my father hasn't been working.
Now he seems to think Of Moth
ing but hurting my feelings.
He tells me he'll come to see
me, and I wait for him, then
he goes to other places.
I love him truly, Miss Fair
fax, but I can't go on like this
much longer. He can't really
be in love with me, do you
think, to act this way? Every
body tells me not to bother
with him, and to go out with
other boys who will treat me
better. But he is the only one
who interests me.
I am not at all bad-looking
and dress as we'll as any girl
in our neighborhood, yet this
boy actually said to me that
I don't dress well enough for
him; though when my father
was working, and this boy
was shabby as rags could be,
I went to church and every
where with him. Now I am not
stylish enough for him to go
with.
He promised me a ring for
my birthday, then gave me the
money instead. Do you think
it was proper for me to take
the money even though we
needed it so terribly? I know
we're both young, and don't
know just what is the right
thing to do. He's 10 and I'm
II.
Would you advise me to talk
to his mother? She is very
1Ond OF me. b.
All said and done, my dear,
I'm inclined to agree with those
friends who advise you to drop
this boy and go with someone
who will appreciate you more.
There's a strange perversity in
some men and women-they
just can't stand being loved.
Happily, not all people are like
this. It seems to be pursuit
that interests great many Of
them.
Objecting to your clothes
strikes me as contemplate, and
if he were a well-bred boy he
would never have told you that
was the reason he didn't like
to take you out. AS you ask
me, it seems too bad you took
the money instead of the ring.
Money seems to be the root o.
many evils in love affairs. My
advice is that you aim to keep
cheerful. Enjoy yourself.

up on your lingerie and linen
shelves at the same time. Look
for a pillow slip, and you'll find

tion.
Slips Preferred
Under-cover clothes are very
open about their affairs this
season. They frankly admit
that most girls prefer slips to
step-ins, since the former gives
the smooth, unbroken lines re-
quired under modern frocks.
They also unblushingly reveal
the fact that, if your slip has
brassiere top, you can even
discard that former indispen-
sable, and remain simply and
sWeetly clad in a two-Way
stretch girdle and a no-Way
stretch slip.
The no-way stretch slip was
no meaningless phrase, either.
Slips no longer literally slip
this way and that till a poor
gal hardly knows whether she's
turned front or back.
Now, through some miracle
of designing, slips have the
clinging bias cut that women
want. and yet hang straight
as a die. They're cut in four
pieces instead of two these
days, which should take care
of the bias against bias slips
forever.
Simple Things
Although most girls would
rather step into slips than
Step-ins, some of them still
cling to both with touching
fidelity.
For them, there are abso-
lutely flat, form fitting panties
that just cover the bulge Of
the garter buckle. They're
simple things, for the most
part, a herostitched hem or
contrasting border being the
height of their fashion ambi-
tionS.
With slips and step-ins
dividing the honors, where have
all the girls who used to wear
chemises and combinations
gone? Nobody knows, and ap-
parently, nobody cares.
Night Things
Nightgowns, however, are

is shaped like a Brownies hat,
and she clips the end down
with a modern clip.
Colors are such a personal
matter that Miss Kenyon
thought she could hardly say
anything of general interest.
She wears browns, dark greens
and colors that go with mink
mostly in winter. In summer
the paStels are best for her.
Burnt Orange Suit
Her street suit, which she
wore to the theater is of brown
and burnt orange checked wool,
the dress made perfectly plain,
in shirtmaker fashion.
Over this was a long burnt

Beauty Queries S
And Answers
FACIAL

QueStiOn-I've been told that
q cucumber mask is one Of the
most cooling and refreshing
facials that can be administered
during the hot weather. /
know, of course, that this mask
also has bleaching properties,
but that's Okay with me. For
want to keep my lily-white
skin this season anyway. Gould
you tell me how to administer
a cucumber mask? S. r.
Answer-The cucumber mask
is indeed a refreshing one, and is
also an excellent bleach. Take
the peel of a cucumber and
place it in a cup of water. Add
a bit of the juice of a lemon to
the water. Before applying the
mask, cleanse your face thor
oughly. Then lie down and ar
range the cucumber peel on
your face in the form of a mask.
Next take soft cloth and dip
it into the solution in the cup.
Wiring out the cloth a bit, and
place it over the face, patting
it into contact with your skin.
If you bind a bit of tape under
your chin and over your head,
it will help to hold the mask in
position.

interviewing a star in her
dressing room on the subject Of
clothes is not quite fair, for she
has neither her own wardrobe
there, nor an extensive stage
wardrobe.
Miss Kenyon's ideas are
clear-cut, however, and even
her stage clothes have charac-
ter, so that an interview is far
from fruitless.
She is so gracious too, that it
is a pleasure to meet her.
Buys American
In the past, Miss Kenyon has
bought most of her own clothes
in Paris. She got nearly all Of
them from Lelong, because his
things are copied less in Amer
lea than those of other coutu-
riers.
She is now getting her clothes
in this country, however, and
she finds them just as Satisfac-
tory.
They are as smart, and fit
much better. For, if American
women will admit it, they nearly
always have difficulty in getting
Paris clothes to really fit. They
often have to have them done
over entirely when they arrive
on this side.
Paris Hats Best
Hats are the one exception,
according to Miss Kenyon, and
she prefers to buy her hats
abroad, even if she has to wear
them longer. for though they
may be utterly plain, there's
always something about the
line that makes Paris hats
smart.
Mexican Influence
AS Miss Kenyon has just
come here from the Pacific
Coast, I was anxious to hear
her opinion of the Mexican in
fluence. which is fast becom-
ing important both in resort
clothes and in things we wear
in this climate.
She believes that it all start
ed in California, for they've
been wearing Mexican things
out there for two or three years
on the beach.
She has a Sombrero of gi-
gantic proportions which she
uses to protect her fair com.
plexion from too much sun. Her
beach sandals are fascinating,
woven Mexican shoes with no
toes in them, different from
anything you can get in the
United States.
COcOanut Hat
Even with sports clothes,
which she wears on the street,
she wears a hat made of cocoa
nut shell, rough and hairy. 1t

Optimist
By ALINE MICHAELIS

Sanctuary
When some would from their
thoughts erase
All care, they seek a holy place
And muse upon Gods bound
less grace.
The incense, with its rich
perfume,
The virgins face, a still, white
bloom.
Weave spells of peace within
the gloom.
But I, beside the unqulet shore.
Where ceaseleSs waves and
waters roar,
Find haven when my heart is
sore.
The stars above that shine on
me
Heal with divine tranquility
The hurts of poor mortality.
They are the tapers in Gods
hand
Whose light across the glisten-
ing sand
Beckons my thought past sea

To realms unknown, undreamed,
ungueSSed,
Where souls like restless waves
find rest,
The white stars guide me on
my quest!

AFTER spending Christmas
vacation with her young son,
aged 6. Miss Kenyon came to
Washington.
When engaged in studio work
or when on a concert tour she
eats three hearty meals day
in order to retain resistance
and strength.
Milk for Energy
She believes there is a great
deal of energy in milk-and
that it also is good for the skin.
OF course, Miss Kenyon is not
inclined to be fat, and in that
way she is not forced to observe
restrictions as far as her diet is
concerned.
She eats lots of green's, plenty
of meat, and imbibes a generous
amount of water.
This attractive screen star
and she is far above the aver
age in all respectS-is: blessed
with a naturally good figure.
Strenuous Sports
She is solidly built, in excel
lent proportions. She keeps her
muscles hard by plenty of out
door exercise. And when she is
on the West Coast, she purSues
the very active sport of tennis
with much enthusiasm. She
also rides horseback and sWir11S.
Miss Kenyon is 5 feet 6
inches tall and weighs between
1876 and 1913 pounds.
Her normal routine includes
cold showers, in which she Is a
firm believer.
Doesn't Smoke
She says that if women would
only stop being lazy and make
a habit of the ice-cold shower
in the morning, that they would
remain youthful. She takes one
just after getting up and then
gives herself a good rub down
with a Turkish towel.
Furthermore, Miss Kenyon
does not smoke. She says that
she has on occasions and it
leaves her throat rough and%is
not good for her voice. -.
She swears by the creams
put up by a New York dernfa-
tologist, an italian woman,
whose skin cleanser, skin
nourisher and tonic she uses.
This woman is a real dern1a-
tologist, she says, and does not

Little Makeup
Miss Kenyon has naturally
curly hair and she just turns
the short ends up over her
finger with a little water. : d,
She uses very little makeup
off stage. Her medium color
skin is usually sunburned so
she uses an ochre powder, and
vivid red lipstick, and never
goes in for eyeshadow or rouge.
She says she is not the type
for vivid red nail polish and
so her nails are carefully
manicured into tapering points
and tinted with a natural shade
of nail enamel.

because it is easier for you to

him time and maybe a bit Of
