Blending rouge too far down. ward is worse for your beauty than not using it at all. If you keep it well up on the cheek bones it forms a flattering frame for your eyes and gives you a youth full, healthy look. But if you put it lower than that, you aren't mak- ing the most of your eyes and your face will have rather old, drag ged-down appearance.
 When you have cleaned your face, smooth on foundation lotion across the surface of some cleans ing cream, then dip it in the cream rouge.
 Make one streak along the up- per edge of each cheek bone and, beginning at the starting point, make another streak downward to form a triangle. Then fill in the triangle. Make sure that there are no harsh looking edges and that the rouge isn't too far in to- ward the nose.
 Ar ideal way to determine ex- actly where rouge should go is to look at your face after you have been exercising violently. Where the natural color is then is where artificial color should go.
 If you use dry rouge, powder before putting it on; then follow the triangle procedure.
 Lipstick, of course, goes on last. Dry your lips with a piece of cleansing tissue, smooth on the lipstick and don't touch it or moisten your lips for at least three minutes. Then, using another piece of tissue, wipe off all the sur plus.

 Kitchen
NEA Service Stan Writer

Halloween with its ghosts and goblins and it's tradition of gaiety is the ideal occasion for party, and an easy party, moreover, for supper served careteria style is en- tirely in keeping with the spirit of the whole idea.
 The dinning table stretched to its limit, or two long tables placed confederation near a wall in the dining room, may be arranged with the food and the necessary china and silver. Trays, for each guest are piled at one end Of the table. Next to the trays is a pile of napkins-paper, probably-each wrapped around the required silver. If you like, you may tie each napkin with a bow and tiny favor, or if bridge or other games requiring tallies are to be played, the tallies may be tied around the napkin. Small tables are scattered through the living rooms to serve as supper and bridge tables.
 Self-Service
 The host may carve and serve the meat and the hostess pour the coffee as the guests help them- selves. Arrange the salad on in- dividual plates-bread and butter size rather than salad-or, even better, it may be put on a large platter from which each person serves himself on his supper plate. The dessert, unless it's the melty kind, can be placed right on the serving table to be taken with the rest of the menu, or the guests may return to the serving table for it after the first course is fin- ished.
 Here's your Halloween menu: Ham baked in cider and served with twice baked sweet potatoes, horseradish and mustard sauce, ginger ale salad, toasted muffins, Jack o'Lantern pies made of dry mince-meat, and coffee. Fanciful names such as goblin roast, pixies potatoes, witches delight sauce, Ali-Hal1ow bread, hoodo salad and Jack o'Lantern pie may be given to the items if you like, and If any of the family is good at 1t. you might have the menu clcycrly printed and illu strated.

 Another ge0d Halloween sup- per menu is buM around veal and ham pie of Pickwickian fame. With this you might have squash croquettes. cabbage and orange

What Ihe Doctor Snw BY DR. s. J. CRUMBINE, GENERAL EXECUTIVE
 AMERICAN CHILD HEALTH ASSOCIATION

know that last year, during 1883, 4,000 little children died of diph- theria in the United States? If those 4,000 children had been wiped out in a terrible fire or flood we~should have had the whole country up in arms against such criminal carelessness. Yet 4,000 deaths from diphtheria are a sign of equally criminal careless ness and indifference. There is no need for any child these days to die of diphtheria!"
 I sincerely hope that Mrs Jones will have her other child im- munized at once, even though the protection will not be com plete for several months. If there is a best time for immunization, it is during the spring, then child is fully protected by fall, when diphtheria and other respiratory diseases are most prevalent. But children who have not been inn munized earlier in the year should not be made to wait till next spring. Have them protected now and by next spring they will be safe.
 A baby up to six months of age has in most cases a natural im- munity which he inherits from his mother. After that he is as likely to contract the disease as older children. If every baby were im- munized during his first year, diphtheria would soon be as ex- tinct as the dodo-whatever that was!

A DIPHTHERIA> SCARE

The other morning just as was finishing breakfast the telephone rang. It was Mrs Johnson, calling to ask me if would go round to one of her neighbors hose little boy was feverish and had a sore throat. Mrs Jones is afraid it may be diphtheria, Doctor" said Mrs Johnson, "so I told her I would ask you to get there as quickly as you could. They haven't a phone, you know, and Mrs Jones said she didn't like to disturb us in the night use ours. As if we'd have minded!" And with that, kind hearted Mrs Johnson rang off and I hurried out to the Jones home.
 Well, it was diphtheria all right! Thanks to the prompt action of both Mrs Jones and Mrs Johnson was in time to administer anti toxin, and I believe the little Jones boy will recover. A few hours la ter, and it might have been too late.
 A night ortwo afterwards I was over at the Johnson home, and Mrs Johnson told me that when we had our big local diptheria immunization drive last spring Mrs Jones laughed at the idea and re- fused to let her two children be "She said there wasn't any need for it nowadays, because diphtheria was practically stamped out," said Mrs Johnson, shaking her head" and now look what's happened" "A lot of people think that way" I. replied. When in- munization first became known it was very popular. It was new. Everybody realized how dangerous diphtheria was, especially for chii- dren under five, and great many parents took advantage of i'm munization to protect their chill dren. But now that diphtheria is less prevalent, thanks to that very immunization, many people are inclined to underrate 1t as q danger" But it is still danger, isn't it, doctor? I know I didn't feel safe about Baby John until he had been immunized." Tt is indeed" assured her. Do you

"Not very often-not as often as she did. You see, don't know many boys"
 You're working?"
 "No,. I haven't been for some time."
 "You're here quite a bit then during the daytime?''
 Nc" Alice Lorton said, that's the funny thing about her. She used to get up early, before any one was stirring. She got up at o'clock in the morning and always left the apartment by quar- to z, sometimes earlier. She was gone all day, invariably. I don't know where she went or what she did,
 But you don't think she was working?"
 Alice Lorton lowered her eyes.
 II don't know" she said.
 Griff looked over at Blocker.
 q think,'' he said. this Is about all we can find out here"
 In the hallway Griff turned to Blocker.
 Has it impressed you" he said, "how closely the description of this missing girl checks with the de- scription Morden gave of the girl who claimed to be the hitch -hiker? The one who gave the name of Mary Briggs, and who was riding nthe car with the man who had been using the name of Frank Cathay?"
 Blocker paused mid-stride, gave a quick exclamation.
 ''That's SOL he said. ''But it's not much of description"
 Such as it is," Griff said, "it checks point for point, size, weight, complexion, age. How about clothes?"
 "The clothes check" Blocker said.
 Griff said nothing more until they were in the taxicab. Then he turned to Blocker.
 "You going to have your men shadow the apartment? he asked.
 Blocker nodded.
 'I'm going to play ball with you, Griff,' he said. There are times when I think your methods are wild, and then I see them check out, and they seem perfectly log ical. There's something uncanny about the way you get to the heart

 Answer-That's fine. All your medical acquaintances agree that I'm not bad. And you know how rarely all doctors agree about any, thing.
 Coffee
 Is it harmful for an expectant mother to drink about four cups of coffee every day? Will washing and scrubbing and other hard housework hurt her or the baby ? (Mrs E. W. L.)
 Answer-No, especially if she uses lost of fresh milk or cream in the coffee. The washing, scrub ping and other housework will be good for the mother and good for the baby.

of a situation"
 We had a little luck on that girl business, Griff said dreamily, but there's something else we're over- looking--something ttat's a key point, something that's been re- ported to us and the significance of which we haven't appreciated"
 Don't you think that always happens in a criminal ihvestiga- ton 2" Blocker asked.
 Mot always" Griff said. You've got several things to do, things that are more or less matters of routine. And then you've got one thing to do that may make trou- ble."
 'What's that?" Blocker asked.
 'I'll tell you the routine things first. You've got to try and find what bank Esther Ordway carried an account in. You've got to get in touch with the Lippmann Realty, Company and find out what they know about her. You've got to have men watch the apartment. You've got to try and locate Mrs Blanche Malone before Carl Ra- cine 1ates her. But, in order to be certain, you've got to keep a man tagging l.acine."
 What would Mrs Malone have to do with the case?" Blocker asked. we seem to have located the woman in the case"
 Griff shook his head.
 "You can never tell," he said, "until the cards are all on the table. You've got to get all the pieces of a jig-saw puzzle before you can put the thing together and have it make sense. think Mrs Cathay employed Racine to locate Mrs Blanche Malone. At any rate, she's connected with the case in some way"
 Now, here's something you've got to do that may make trouble. You've got to get some young woman in whom you have confi- dence. She should go to an apart ment and take the apartment un- der the name of Esther Ordway. Then she should go to the post office and leave forwarding ad- dress, forwarding the mail of Es- ther Ordway from the Elite Apart ments at 319 Robinson street to this apartment where the woman is living"
 That's going to get us into trouble with the postal authorities Blocker. objected.
 "It won't if they don't find out about it." Griff remarked.
 But they'll be bound to find out about it."
 I'm not so certain"
 But why go 70 all that trouble to read the woman's mail? Who- ever is mixed up in the case with her, or knows she's mixed up in the case, knlows that she's disap- peared. You cant make me be- lieye that she was spirited away. think she deliberately stepped out of the picture and I'm willing to bet two to one that we find where she took an airplane."
 Griff shook his head.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Paris-Mirande's a girl to keep your eyes on. Lovely things come out of her workrooms. Things like blouses in ribbed velvet in all the light luminous colors.
 Black patent leather that is so soft and pliable that you can tie 1t just like ordinary ribbon-nice for tie belts and neck-ties and bows here and there when you want to be slightly butterfly, but in tail- ored manner.
 She goes in for back fullness and likes tunics and double vol ants. Afternoon frocks are often in silk and velvet, alone and combined with each other, and gathered yokes in the back give fullness to sleeves as far as the elbow.
 Since Creed started his man. tailored evening gown all the boys and girls have thanked him for the idea and gone and done like wise. Morande's is of the straight and narrow skirt type mad in white cellophane. It has jacket of black (also cello) with basque effect. The sleeves are close fitting to the elbow (to. the wrist if you prefer) and there is a jabot of white flowers which is on the dress but spreads out over the jacket, when 1t is in place.

 M0rIen had ben investigating the affairs of FRANK B. CA. THAY, wealthy and prominent, who had threatened to sue The 8lade because the newspaper re- ported Cafhay had been arrest- cd. The man arrested was an im- postor giving the name of Ca- thAy and accompanied by Q girl called MARY BRIGGS.
 Soon after Morden Is found dead comes news that Cathay is dead-possibly poisoned.
 MOrden's flngerprints are found in the apartment of a girl named ALICE HORTON who has ported the disappearance of her romnlmate, ESTHER ORD- WAY. Grin and Blocker visit Alice LOrton and question her.
 CHAPTER XVIII
 Sidney Griff started pacing the floor. Blocker watched him with drowning speculation. Alice Lor- tons blue eyes were fastened upon him with wide candor, the candor with which young patient re- 8ards a skilled physician who has come to minister to his suffering an Expression of blind faith which bordered upon devotion.
 How about magazines ?" Griff asked suddenly, sweeping his hand in an inclusive gesture toward the I1agazines on the table. These weren't purchased at news stands, were they?"
 Alice J4orton shook her head.
 Griff picked several up, looked at the back pages.
 'They were all Esther's the girl Some of them came in wrappers. Some of them had her name stamped on the covers"
 "Eon don't know anything about her family? 2"
 '.No."
 Know whether she'd been mar ried or not?"
 T don't thinks she had. She didn't have much use for men,
 "That might indicate she'd been married and separated"
 "Yes, it might, but she seemed sort of well unsophisti. cated, if you know what l mean"
 .'Humph!" Griff said skeptically How often did she ask you to leave when she had men friends ccming?"
 Mot very often-just once or twice a month perhaps
 What did she do with her even- ings?"
 'She read.'
 Didn't go out?"
 "No, she was shy, retiring girl in many ways. Esther was always a mystery to me. She had quite bit of mail come in, and she wrote quite few letters. But that seem ed to be about the only social con- tact she had. She loved to read. She was very much inclined to curl up on the couch and spend the evessing there reading"
 What did she do the evenings when you had your boy friends come to SC you?" Griff asked.
 "She went out to picture shows, I think. although she didn't care much for them"
 "ehe came home late?"
 .Xes, quite late"
 Did you tell her what time to come home ?"
 No, I just used to tell her that I would have a boy friend in for the evening"
 @How often did you have your friends here?"

Prosperity Puts On Dinner Dress
Sts Exoc Focks For NeaO GLO

New York - The new dinner clothes have glamorous, prosper otis air about them that convinces one we are launched on an age of more gracious living and dining What woman, after all, wants to dash to dinner in a little street frock when she can, with the ex- penditure of a reasonable amount of money. saunter out in an hon. est goodness dinner gown? Some may wonder whether such creations are practical and precise ly where and when they should be worn. Well, a dinner dress or suit is your answer to the hostess who says, Don't dress" And your an- swer to the perplexing problems, .sWhat shall wear to a formal tea, to weddings that take place after four, and to the theater?"
 In the dinner clothes department you'll find a wide variety of alluring modes among which to pick and choose. There are dressy, street. length velvet. suits with lame and metal cloth blouses that are simply perfect for informal dinner in a restaurant or hotel. By having sev- eral blouses and changeable access sories, you can wear the suit dozens of times this winter.
 Dresses Touch Exotic Note
 Velvet suits with ankle-length skirts are, of course, more formal. A smart idea would be to have one long and one short skirt to go with the same blouses and the little coat.
 If you aren't interested in suit, look at long dresses. You'll have a difficult time finding plain one Git really seems an overlooking-a- good opportunity : idea to try) because the pest couturies have made up their minds that it's bet ter to be slightly exotic and quite spectacular after seven.
 For instance. the stunning black satin dinner dress we show here at the right of the sketch to day is an outstanding example of what designers would have us wear. Cov- cred with a 1ong-sleeved tunic of black fish net and trimmed with four rhinestone-trimmed bows of self material, it has a hobble-type, split-in- -the-front skirt that is rem iniscent of pre-war days. It's top ped by 8 dashing black velvet hat, trimmed with aigrette feathers. The other dining costume (left)' was inspired by a Gainsborough. Made of noncrushable brown vel vet, it has the new circular flared effect just above the waistline, a sweeping skirt that touches the floor and long sleeves which wrin- kle becomingly about the wrists. Note the huge sable huff and the feather-trimmed hat of brown velvet.

DD YOUR CHILL LOREN
 By Olive Roberts Barton '

It is a good thing that Halloween comes only once m blue moon. Literally that, because the October moon was called the Blue Moon" by the Indians, due to the color full haze over the mountains ana valleys in the fall season.
 They celebrated it. The pagans celebrated it for another reason. The Christian faith has for cen- turies been identified with festival season before All Saints Day.
 Yet, although celebrations are good for the soul and care-free fun is still better for the health, by no stretch or the imagination can we call our Halloween a care-free interlude.
 Moreover, instead of its durance being for a day, the time out for sheer banditry to-day is a week or even two weeks.
 It has resolved itself into de- fensive war of nineteen-twentieths of the popular against the smaller fraction of the score.
 One wonders just how much the statisticians would figure in dollars and cents the damage of one Hal lowe'en season amounts to, allow ance made for the inconvenience, time and trouble of the persecuted. Recently, too, it has become a grand alibi for more serious oi- lenses.
 In short words, our dear, sweet, prankish old Halloween, when children dressed up and rang door bells, pulled taffy and bobbed for apples, has become a licentious orgy of alarming proportions How useless it is to shout. ''There ought to be law There are laws. But the entire army, con- stabulary, and local police could not enforce them. s4sss.s. &. Children will be children, of course. On Halloween night we have to haul in the dog house and tie garbage can and possess our- selves in peace. We even have to coax a smile when we think the porch has fallen in the the house will go next, and murnur sweetly. The little dears-let them have their fun"
 That's all right. We all did it and turn about is only fair play. | udL We uluu uO was 10 iOr- ment our neighbors for days ahead of time. If we had done so we would have been whipped and put to bed for a month.
 The responsibility of the pre- Halloween nuisance rests with parents and with them alone, am sure. If things have reached q stage when a boy won't stay in the house when he is told, this itself 1t proof of utter defeat. It calls for absolute authority and certainly such authority should be exercised.
 Why do we make some of our most delightful holidays menaces and riots? Most assuredly it will | have to stop sometime.
