her creamy complexion and her clear
blue eyes create an individual beauty
which Is unequalsd even in Hollywood,
where every one initiates some one
else and does 1t very successfully. 1t
is beyond imagination to think Of her
looking dated" in any costume, how
ever aged, since she Is SO much an
| Individual. She broke the meditattve
pause.
Good health and beauty Of spirit
seem to be the most important things,
even when it comes to appearance"
which wise remark shows that while
Ann Harding has become a notable
star she has not forgotten the days
when she worked In stock until her
health was threatened, or the forti-
tude which carried her through the
endless days Of struggle when money
and work seemed to come and 60 with
astonishing rapidity.
Don't you believe in cosmetics II
they make you look well?" she was
asked.
IT think women look best without
cosmetics" she replied firmly. Make
up on young girls looks silly to me.
Evening star., 1934-12-17

Older women who use too much make
up merely accentuate their age. I
approve Of the use Of cosmetics, but
their effectiveness depends entirely
upon the delicacy and taste with
which they are employed. The real
art Of makeup Is to use 1t so deftly
that 1t Is not obvious"
This answer Is typical Of the girl
who owns her own plane, plays golf,
sw.ms and loves to ride horseback.
Her own beauty is Of delicate,
sculptured kind. Her crowning glory
is that ash-blond hair, very simple
arranged in Madonna lines. And about
hair she has a few very definite
thoughts. She believes 1t should be
scientifically cared for, rather than
shampooed with de luxe preparations.
She never permits rinses to be USED
ON her hair. The color is natural.
She does nothing TO make 1t look
lighter or darker. Hair, she believes.
should be hand dried, without the
scalp being parched by the hot air
from drying machines.
Ann Harding has q cameo type OF
beauty. She has soft, pearl-l1ke
glow about her, q spiritual beauty
which enhances her lovely features.
Her makeup artist says Of herA Il
don't make up Ann Harding except
from q technical viewpoint. I have
to make up her face so it registers
with the camera. But don't change
the features. 1t is her own mouth you
see on the screen. The lips aren't
wider or thicker than they appear
We don't use tricks Of makeup on
Miss Harding to change the appear
ance of her face. She Is too much
herself. Her art Is natural"
She is consistent in her choice of
clothes, even In her perfumes.
"I like perfumes which are ex-
tremely delicate" she says. Il pre-
fer the subtle suggestion of q scent
rather than the pronounced fragrance
which every one knows and can trace
I have a few blends which use so
carefully that no one can possibly re-
member them as a definite perfume.
Miss Harding gives one the feeling
that a wildhower fragrance woulc
float around her head like halo.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. SPROWLS.
Tnnesomeness.
Lonesomeness.

r ONESOMENESS is a very complex
- state Of mind. The absence Of
companionship or social contacts will
account for scarcely half of the lone
someness that one may experience.
On the contrary, one may be lonesome
even in crowded streets and hilarious
celebrations.
Certain days, especially in late Sum-
mer, are accompanied by strange and
indescribable feelings. If these feel
ings are not those Of lonesomeness,
they certainly resemble them. The
hue Of the skies, or perhaps the at
mospheric pressure, CT the breezes, or
the lengthening of shadows now and
then revives forgotten memories which
were stored up In the days Of ones
youth. The weather powerfully affects
ones passing moods and therefore the
access to memories appropriate to
them.
In a very general sense our mental
states run in cycles. Our personali-
ties seem to shrink and expand in
fairly regular pulsations. We are not
usually aware Of these fluctuations.
But now and then we are. During
those periods of "low tide" our egos
dwarf and shrivel. Somehow we feel
that something Is lost. And this feel
ing Is also one of lonesomeness.

Is not In despair, for her brown babies
often fall where they will have soft,

Insects are most important to these

opportunity to see some Of them you

Perhaps you will find a rare one. The

hostesses to set their seeds is one you
can watch with the aid Of a magni-

whose plush coats are well-covered
with pollen, gathered at the fount of
another hostess, are all the flower
mother asks.
There are three forms Of these
flowers, and they are to be found on
different plants. 1t Is your altert-
ness against the weeds cleverness, II
you do not see how marvellous the
plan Is for cross-fertilization. Find
the one with the raised stigma on
a long style, reaching to the top Of
the blossom; the one that lifts her
stigma only halfway up; and the
third one, who keeps her stigma in
the bottom of the nectar well.
No crossword puzzle can give you
the return for your investment Of
time that is given by the study Of
the plans, traps, schemes and clever
tricks that our friends of the out
doors use, and who knows, but you

Not far from the old coat was a

pushing the roof up to make that

before and there had been no signs Of
Miner since Danny and Nanny had

lymph circulation, which Is not blood,
but the fluids of the circulation car
ried by means Of every part of the
body, every cell Of the entire structure
having access to the lymph channels.
II the body is saturated with debris
Of every sort, and If this must find its
way out by means Of the stream Of
blood and lymph, 1t Is small wonder
that this stream becomes little better
than q sewer at times.
Included with the nourishment dis
tributed to the tissues is oxygen, with
out which we could live but few pre-
carious and painful minutes. The red
cells Of the blood, the erythrocytes, are
small protein cells, each with a very
| short life cycle, supposed to be about
two weeks. The function of these cells
Is to hold in their tissues a charge of
iron in organic form. Iron has the
function of combining with oxygen;
in this form Of attraction or combina-
ton it finds its way into the tissues,
through the blood channels. In the
tissues 1t meets carbon, which it ex-
changes for the oxygen carried thus
far, and so not only brings in oxygen
| to the tissues but also carries out the
used carbon, thus acting as nourisher
and scavenger at the same time.
It Is this interchange between oxy-
gen and carbon that keeps us alive,
and 1t Is because we must make this
exchange continually that we are
compelled to breathe
Inspiration carries in the oxygen of
the air, and exhalation emits the used
carbons that clog and foul the body
II not kept removed continually.
Add to this double function of the
blood that also Of a carrier to the tis-
sues OF the digested and absorbed
products Of the foods eaten, and again
carrying out from the same tissues
the waste created there. You will then
visualize the reason for the saying
that the blood Is the life.
Subjected as the blood is to such
contamination with the fused materials
Of metabolism, the various katabolic
products that must find their way out
continually, 1t Is not strange that this
vital fluid becomes often overburdened
with the waste Of the body, and breaks
down, or becomes infected. We then
have the various blood diseases which
will be discussed in the next few
papers.
II we can keep down the creation
Of waste to such point as can be con-
tinually removed daily, then we end
the blood saturation that impairs the
function not only of this vital stream
Of life, but as well all Of the tissues
bathed by 1t; likewise, every organ
that depends daily on the blood for
those materials necessary for function,
and also for the very necessary scav-
enging that keeps the organ in work.
ing condition at all times.
Keep the blood right and every or
gan and tissue Of the body will enjoy
perfect health. To keep the blood
right is to supply it with everything
it needs and at the same time not
make its tasks of elimination impos-
sible!

THE thought of a pretty dress
to wear back to school in
variably helps to lift the
l. gloom that settles on little
people when vacation is over.
The little model pictured is new,
fresh and gay. It is French in feel
ing. The shaped yoke, dropping ever
30 slightly over the shoulders, follows
O trend that is expressing itself in
picturesque puffs and quaint, un-
broken shoulder lines.
This Is Just the frock you are look
ing for, If you have little girls to sew
for. The pattern Is so simple a be-
ginner will be able to make 1t with

different sleeves|long ones for mid
Winter school wear (see back Vew) 4,
and dressy little puffed ones for
Summer, or party frocks.
The new cottons for children are
enchanting this year. Among them
are smart -dimity prints, .strewn with
tiny summery flowers, and pretty
lawns that look as bright and naive
as blossoming countryside In
Spring. Dark linens and lawns are
being used for touches Of contrast.
They are considered very practical
when chosen in a color that picks
up the tones of the print used in
the dress. Also in evidence are
prints with dark backgrounds. In
these fabrics we note great deal

Natures Children
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.
Pickerel Weed.
POntederia COrdata,

AVE you ever heard that pick
erel mothers come into the
shallow waters Of ponds and
i i streams to lay their eggs
among the leaves of the pick
erel weed? Whether they have that
in view or not, when they begin the
long trek for these waters we do not
know. The fact before us proves the
eggs are to be found among the sedges,
wild rice and other aquatic plants. You
may find this out for yourself, and I
assure you nothing Is half so satisfac-
tory as to go among Natures children
and learn their fascinating ways Of
doing things.
You will find this lovely plant
| through the Eastern half of the
United States and Canada. In these
days Of quick transportation. distance
means little to us.
The flower blooms In June, and
there is a continual procession Of
bright purplish blue flowers until Oc-
tober. They are found crowded to-
gether in a dense spike on the tip Of
| a stout, f1eshy stem, which Is often

height. The leaves are bractlike,
thick, polished. and either arrow
shaped or triangular. and are 4 to 8
inches long. with a to 6 inch base.
You must plan to find shallow
stream in the spring. and adopt It..
Give it your own secret name and
| visit 1t often. During this Winter
keep a notebook of the outdoor folks
you want most to know, and with
little effort you will find every mo-
ment out Of doors will have joyous sur
| prises.
Each blossom Of the pickerel weed
lasts but a day. The upper part
withers, leaving the base Of the
perianth to harden about the seed
box and to protect the seed baby.
The spike keeps growing. and OPEN
ing flowers are always greeting the
sun each morning.
About the edge Of the stream the
steady buzz Of the bees and insects
may be heard as they sip the nectar,
fill their pollen baskets and go their
way.
The bright blue flowers and the
deep green leaves are lovely sight,
mirrored in the water below. But

multi-colored peasant prints.
Plain solid colors are being used
profusely, too. And they have way

we find pink, pale blue, peach. yellow

are all lovely in the swisses, organ

one any harm and it gives

don't really expect your wishes to

In q jug laying on its side under a
ragged old coat in a fence-corner Of
Farmer Browns cornfield was as snug
a home as ever any Meadow Mouse
had. 1t was the home of Danny and
Nanny Meadow Mouse. Nanny was
the one who had discovered that jug,
and when she had led Danny to it he
had been as sure as was she that 1t
was the safest home they ever had
had.
Then Farmer Browns Boy had come
along and picked up the Jug. When
he discovered that there was a home
in it he had carefully replaced it just
as he had found 1t and again covered
it with the old coat. But Danny had
had such a fright that he had refused
to live there any longer and had
started off. Nanny had refused to
leave and at last Danny had returned.
As Farmer Browns Boy did not re-
turn, Danny soon got over his fright
and agreed that Nanny was right In
staying.
As yet no one else had discovered
where they were living, but they knew
that it was merely a matter Of time
before Reddy Fox or Mrs. Reddy, Black
Pussy or Jimmy Skunk or perhaps
Shadow the Weasel would come poking
around in that fence-corner and per-
haps find that they were living there.

All South has to hold Is the ace Of
clubs and the queen Of diamonds.
After East's strong bidding had
reached its climax, South doubled. A
logical inference may be drawn from
the double. South Is willing to have
North lead either of the two of suits,
but he pleads for a suit opening in
which North holds an honor. South
might hold:
Sp.-x-x. Dia.-O-J-x-x.
Hts.-K-10-x-x. C.-A-x-x.
In other words, If North leads away
from either the king Of diamonds or
the queen Of hearts (provided that he
has either of those two cards., South
can set up one or more tricks for his
side before his ace Of clubs is driven
out.
AS a matter of fact, the four hands
were actually:
