If you really and truly want
to face facts about your beauty,
have a passport picture taken
and discover how many ugly
lines you have in your precious
face! 1 got one a few days ago,
then I flew home to give my
self a thoughtful treatment!
It is the dry, sensitive skin
that must ward off wrinkles
and lines, and that requires con-
slant care to keep the skin tex
ture smooth, soft and Of even
skin-tone.
And a sensitive skin is diff
ficult to treat; so many creams
and lotions, even the finest, ir-
ritate it, and it is ruinous to do
too much experimenting.
Unless you have discovered a
combination of preparations
that are particularly efficacious,
I think it is a good policy to
stick to one make of cosmetics
If your skin is sensitive. Some
times cosmetics of different
makes do not act kindly toward
each other. then your skin SUI
ferS.
There is a compact treatment
for the sensitive skin prepared
by one in whom I have faith.
I put myself in her hands after
a spell Of illness, and she did
marvelS in smoothing away the
havoc wrought by worry and
Illustration.
This treatment consists Of a
rich cleansing oil, a slightly
astringent cream for nourishing
and refining the pores, a sooth-
ing skin tonic to tone the skin
after cleansing, and a flattering
foundation for makeup which

dured a day of collie, as to en-
dow a young woman with the
combined status Of philosopher
and saint merely because she
has gone through the birth
travail.
Nor could any practice be
more maudlin or malicious than
our popular custom Of raving
about the heroism Of young
women because they have gone
down into the valley of the
shadow Of death to give life
to their little ones" The SIM
pie fact Is that in nine cases
out of ten motherhood is at
first most unwelcome, however
much the baby may be adored
thereafter. And instead of be-
ing voluntary heroineS most
mamas are extremely mad
martyrs.
Also, every really honest and
loving mother knows that, no
matter how great her suffer-
ing, the joy of motherhood is
worth all it costs-and to such
a mother a child is always q
privilege, never a sacrifice.
Equally silly and dangerous
is the theory that any mother
would give her life for her
child. The plain fact-of which
we all see abundant proof daily
is that many mothers won't
even sacrifice their temporary
comfort for a child, much less
give their lives for it.
Moreover, the fact that a
mother would die bravely for
her child is no proof that she
will live sensibly for it. In
telligent and successful mother
hood, like any other job, re-
quires hard study. No amount
of mother instinct" (even if
such a thing eXisted) could pos
sibly teach a young woman the
physiological and psychological
facts required to properly feed
and train a child.
Yet, because of the senti-
mental attitude toward mother
hood, the average young mother
believes she need no equipment
save her uninstructed and un-
controlled affection.
If a plumber or a carpenter
knows as little about his job
as the average mother knows
about hers, and went about it
as sloppily, he'd be kicked out
of his union pronto.
It is often said that "You
have only one mother" Many
a nagged and neglected child
could heartily answer that one
is quite enough!

I can reduce my knees? The

Our hostess maintains, Of
course, that the particular good
ness of everything comes from
the fact that it all is home
grown or homemade.
Naturally that does have a
lot to do with it. but at the
The Washington times., 1934-08-28

it is not necessary for me to
enlarge upon their peculiar and
delicious flavor-if you have
not, no description can convey
the idea to you.
The melon was grown in our
hostess garden, and, instead OF
being chilled, was served SUM-
warm, having been sliced only
just before we went in to
luncheon.
This method of serving brings
out the banana-like flavor to
perfection, and no salt, lemon,
or sugar is needed.
Home Products
After the melon, we had fried
chicken. They were a home
product, too, and so tender that
they literally melted in the
mouth. Also, they were fried
to the most beautiful crispnesS,
and were heaped on a platter
surrounded by fried mush-cakeS
and thick, creamy gravy.
With them we had succulent
baby corn, just out Of the
garden, and tiny whole okras
stewed with homegrown to-
matoeS. Hot biscuits, and Spiced
Seckel pears finished the general
debauch of that course. We all
ate our heads off, and became
more and more stuffed and
solemn with every bite.
However, we managed to
greet the dessert with enthu-
siasm-we just couldn't help it,
for it turned out to be home
made caramel ice cream, with
more caramel sauce, and all
enormous layer-cake with lemon
icing. Oh, dear, what day
for those of us who were try
ing to keep what little figure
we had!
I would be willing to bet that
that night, all the other women
on the party did just what I
did-Sneaked onto the bathroom
scales with a guilty look, and
off with a Mortified one. And
1t wasn't any better next morn
ing, either, when we all weighed
again. In fact, it isn't any
better yet-and the tomato
juice diet is getting on my
nerves already!
Just in case you would like
to know, I managed to wheedle
a few recipes for that luncheon
out of my hostess, and, if you
are one of the long, slim people,
who never get fat-grrr!-you
can use them to give yourself
one Of the most delicious meals
in the world.

Never Speaks Of Marriage

Never Speaks Of Marriage
Dear Miss Fairfax:
The boy friend and I have
both admitted we care a great
deal about each other, but he
has never mentioned marriage.
OF course, he couldn't make
any plans, as he isn't working,
but he could at least say some
thing about the future, when
things would be better for
him.
He has often said to me
that he would never marry un-
til he could afford to support
a wife-but men never think
of the other party.
I have a very good job and
salary. If he would only say
something to me about mar
riage in the future, I should be
content, and then should feel
some incentive to save. AS it is,
I spend quite a bit.
I've tried going out with
others, but do not enjoy myself.
Altogether, I'm quite miserable.
j.
The days when love affairs
drifted for years and years are
happily past, and the modern
young woman does not accept
her fate in this tragically pa
tient fashion. think you would
be quite justified in intimating
to this young man that some
suggestion as to the future would
be only fair to you both.
AS you tell me in your let
ter, which is too long to print
in its entirety, you're not get
ting any younger.
