Bath
Will Soon Be
Common
BY LIZ HUME

Soon you will be able to
build your way to beauty with
a bath brick. Don't scream,
that's the truth!
One of our leading cosmeti-
clans, who has just returned
from Europe where she has
been making her annual tour,
promises us radioactive bath
brick. This brick may be used
over and over again and
handed down from one genera
ton to another.
Single Brick
On the scientific theory that
bathing is the only rational
method of radioactive treat
ment, a single brick is dropped
into the bath, and the skin
of the body is brought into
contact with the emanations OF
the radium composition con-
tained in the rock.
Radio-activity, it has been
explained to me, is the vital
element of thermal waters and
gives them their therapeutic
properties. And this property
has been incorporated into
these bricks.
The radio-activity, after pro-
longed bath, remains on the sur
face of the skin for fully two
hours. This means that in addl-
ton to the general healthful and
stimulating action, accumulated
toxins are readily killed, cell
circulation is promoted, and
dead tissues, obstructing the
beneficial action of the epider-
mis- are destroyed.
This home bath "cure." it is
said, is particularly officacious
for building up resistance and
for a general rundown condl-
ton.
RadiatiOns Constant
The radioactive bath bricks
are between tan and beige in col
or and about four inches long
by three inches thick. They are
porous and supplied with a CEN
trail inner cavity which may be
filled with perfumed bath salts.
The same stone may be used
over and over again, as the
radiations are constant. The
strength of the radioactive ele-
ment required in individual
cases can be measured by the
length of time the stone is i'm
mersed in water. A simple meas
urement table is furnished with
the directions contained in the
box for each separate rock.
While this product is not yet
on the market, it will be very
shortly, but I couldn't wait to
tell you about it.

cream. There are some that
are better for dry skins and
some for oily skins, and I know
of one for an extremely oily
skin that is most satisfactory.
To get makeup on smoothly
you need this finishing cream
base and, besides that, it holds
the powder and keeps it pretty
we'll on the surface. If you
pound powder on after using a
thick massage cream you are
likely to fill your pores with it
and get blackheads. Finishing
cream doesn't cost much be-
cause you use so little of it that
it lasts very long time.

CASWEL ENES WOMEN WHO ARE SO SMOOTHLY SURE OF THEMSELVES
Lower NeckIines
Bring New
Necklaces
BY WILMA LAVILLE

News Of the Paris openings,
which were just finished a
couple Of weeks ago, shows that
necklines in many cases are
lower. That means a revival of
necklaces.
Some are low or medium slit
or v necklines, some are square.
Several houses showed gowns
with the boat neckline, which
is also a good background for
the necklace.
ArdanSe showed several eve
ming gowns, with beautiful real
jewelry, especially a pendant in
the form of a circle of dia-
monds, strung on a braid Of
seed pearls, hanging to the
waist.
Three New Necklaces
In a resume of the openings,
three lengths of necklace are
reported. Maggy Rouff wore at
her opening a gold high-necked
evening gown slit at the throat
with a pearl necklace pulled
through and a huge pearl and
diamond plaque suspended two
inches above the waiStline,
which was placed at normal.
Vera Borea used clips and
buttons of real sea shells, a
decorative and new idea. Le-
longs mannequins wore rock
crystal and turquoise jewelry.
At Lanvin's opening, consider
able gold jewelry of the slave
type was seen. Schiaparelli who
originates new fastenings for
every collection, also adopted
the sea shell motif in clips Of
galilith.
Buttons Blossom
Buttons, which are widely
used in Paris this season, have
come in for their share of or
namentation. Greed, who makes
unusually fine suits, many Of
them in tweedS woven for the
house in England, used buttons
of wood, leather, metal, mirror
glass and some with little
Wedgewood motifs.
Other designers chose such
odd buttons as wooden
dominoes, ivory dice, gold mus
sci shells, jet buttons and
daisies made of seed pearls.
Paris Wears Pearls
Pearls are worn by many
smart women in Paris, in
chokers and long necklaces, in
two, three and four strand
versions, and very often they
wear pearl earrings at the same
time. Clip earrings are among
the newest types, and they are
now available in Washington.
This is significant for us
locally, for since Paris is again
sponsoring and showing jewelry,
and smart women are wearing
it, we will probably see a great
revival of jeWelry in this
country.

There seems to be an idea
abroad that all women MUST
use astringents on their faces.
Why I don't know. There are
women who should use them
and who have their skins very
materially benefited by using
them daily. There are others
who shouldn't ever use them.
When they do their skin gets
to be of about the same con-
sistency as an old boot dried
out after duck hunting.
The other day a young woman
wrote me, wondering what on
earth allied her skin. It was
"too terrible" She had been
using a thin cleansing cream,
and after that scrubbing her
face with soap and water and,
finally-I know this won't sound
reasonable, but she actually did
it-using an astringent before
putting on face powder.
X X X
AstringentS are for people
whose skins are NOT DRY, if
they draw your face and take
all the oil out don't use them.
If you have an oily skin and
want an astringent, be sure to
get a good pure one.
I've found an excellent as
tringent, and the way to use it
is to wiring out a square OF
cotton in water. Then tip the
bottle on the cotton and pat it
on the face. This, of course,
after you have thoroughly cold
creamed your face with a heavy
= massage cream. You see, by
first saturating the cotton with
water you don't use up so much
of the astringent, and the saw
ing is really quite material.
Then, too, it softens a little the
bite of the astringent. At least
it does for most people.
After this you should use a
tiny amount of finishing cream
before applying makeup. I al
ways recommend a finishing

WORLD PROBLEMS
Voters Question Politicians
on Policies Directly
Affecting Them.

LONDON (P.-A recent survey
shows British voters aren't interested
in international questions.
They want to know only about ma
tional problems that affect them indi-
vidually, such as unemployment relief,
aid for shipping and industry and
agriculture, and what hours they will
find the bars open.
Conservative leaders found out all
about the voters mind and what he
is thinking by a careful canvass Of
the country.
The results surprised and rather
dismayed some leaders who had be-
lieved the party's India policy would
top the list of questions asked.
Caravans Sound Opinions.
A group of motor caravans set out
recently from London in various di-
rections. Each caravan had its
speaker and government propaganda

In each place where a SHOW" was
held, the speakers asked the assem-
bled voters to state their views on
national and world problems.
The expressions of opinions, to-
gether with the usual questions fired
by the citizens at the speakers, gave
the Tories lot to think about.
In most areas, not even Sir Oswald
Mosley and his Fascists were referred
to-. Few people seemed interested in
India. None cared what happened to
foreign nations.
Equipped With Duds.
All the people asked about were
local and home questions of the
moment.
Most of the speakers were well pre-
pared to discuss the future of India,
international politics and similar

such information.

politicians and for Parliament, and
may be the major subject before
