her quota for spring! She offers
to give away a million rouge
compacts, one with each box Of
powder purchased!
She has designated two COM
binations as flattering to blonde
and brunette, since she cannot
tell the "in-betweens" which
combination is the better for
them. Personally, I think both
would be delightful for every
woman to have. The tawny.
red geranium rouge and peach
bloom powder, while particular
ly lovely for the blonde, is a
fattering harmony for many
types. The combination of red
raspberry rouge and rachel, pow
der, lovely on brunettes, is
equally stunning on "in-be-
tweens."
Both powders are attractively
packaged with the accompany
ing shade of rouge. And i'm
agine something for nothing in
this day and age! Yet here you
have it-a gift of rouge when
you purchase that cosmetic
necessity, a box of powder.

Bibs may have wings this sea-

vertical seams with quite wide
wings added, so that it will
cover and transform the whole
front of your dress.
It will be smart in pique or
linen, and not only in white
but in such colors as dusty pink,
linen blue and cool greens and

material, and a spool of good
strong thread.

FAT THIGHS

Dear Miss Shelby:
Please tell me how to get rid
of a bulge Of fat on my thighs.
Is slapping and squeezing
harmful? have been trying
that, but it doesn't seem to
help. Someone told me to rub
in EPSON salts. How much
should use
Is buttermilk fattening? I
use a quart every other day.
Will tap dancing help one re-
duce?
Would appreciate any help
you can give me.
Sincerely. R. w. G.
Dear Mrs. r. w. c.:
Slapping and squeezing the
thighs is very good, but don't
overdo it.
The EPSON salts bath is also
effective in many cases.
Dissolve two pounds Of EPSON
salts in a tub full of hot water.
Relax in it for about 20 minutes.
I am not sure that tap dane
ing would help reduce the
thighs, but practice it just the
same. It's a good exercise and
healthful.
Buttermilk is not fattening.
Contrarily, it is a part Of the
nonfattening diet

It's a practical idea, if you
can't have lots Of new things,
to make minor changes in your
winter dresses, or your last
springs things, and go right on
with them for business or sec"
ondary wear.
Skirt lengths haven't changed,
and the silhouette is essentially
the same, so that you can easily
fix things up, if they're whole
and in fairly good condition.
Accessories Count
A good dry cleaning will put
new life into many an old dress
that you have given up hope
about, and a new collar and cuff
set, bib or vestee added to 1t
will make an entirely new cos
tune. So why not set about right
now refreshing your old dresses,
to tide you over until hot

The stores offer many smart
accessories to freshen frocks, or

limited, you can easily make
them for yourself. Just as a

It is commonly agreed that
all art, when reduced to its
simplest terms, follows one Of
two laws-sharp contrast, or
perfect harmony. Why can't
we give these laws more atten-
ton in our costumes and our
makeup?
The fashion-conScious woman
today realizes more and more
the value of contrast. When
her accessories are contraSted
in color, her costume is out
standing. Apply that same law
of contrast to your makeup,
and it will be outstanding, too!
A smart Parisienne tells me
that in Paris fair skinned bru-
nettes play up the contrast of
hair and skin. They use little
or no rouge on their cheeks,
but instead apply a powder
foundation that enhances the
whiteness of their compilations,
they use quite a bit of lip rouge,
plenty of mascara and the exotic
shades of eyeshadow, such as
blue-green.
On the other hand, fragile
blondes, she says, follow the law
of harmony; but they harmonic
the brighter rather than the too
pastel shades-a tawny shade Of
rouge, for example, with peach
tints in powder, and a clear eye
shadow color, blue or green.
Happily one Of our leading
beauty authorities, who spends
much of her time in Paris, now
makes it easy to try out several
different types Of makeup. A

Old English Sheep
Dog Is Quite
Rare Now
RH LIZ HUME

A very fortunate coincidence
for the pet editor Of The
Times! I had been wondering
for weeks who owned the Old
English sheep dog I had seen
being exercised in the vicinity
of @ Street Northwest and Con-
necticut Avenue, when 10 and
behold, a letter appeared with
a photograph Of that very dog.
He belongs to Miss Violet Bid
die, Of 1923 @ st. N. w., and
his name is Boy. Thank you,
Miss Biddle!
These dogs are very rare in
England now. 1t is said that
one will do as much work TAX
ing care of sheep as five men.
Highly intelligent, the sheep
dog is picturesque, affectionate
and a useful member Of the
pastoral class, resembling in i'm
portant particulars Of con-
formation, appearance and
character, the herd dogs Of con-
tinental countries from Spain
to Russia.
Some TailleSS
This distinctive breed is
unique in the profuseness and
character of its coat. Many
are born tailless, and wall and
china-eyed specimens are highly
rated.
Their skulls should be squarely
formed with parts over eyes
arched and we'll covered with
hair. 1t is said that if the sheep
dogs eyes are exposed, he goes
blind. If he is not born tailless,
the sheep dog, when a puppy
should be docked.
The sheep dog has an in
teresting history. It is said that
the early progenitors Of the
breed, living in a time when it
was necessary to defend the
flocks against bears and wolves,
were larger, stronger, and
fiercer than those we have now.
Shaggy Coat
There is a popular idea that
this breed is naturally tailless.
Although many Of them today
are born without tails-others
have them, and amputation is
necessary. The custom origin
ated with the drovers of Eng
land.
According to law, dogs used
for working purposes were ex-
empt from taxation, and they
adopted the docking of the tail
to distinguish dogs which came
under the ruling.
Miss Biddle's dog, Boy, COM
plies with the highest standards
of breed. And he is as interest
ing as he is aristocratic. He is
known by everyone on Connect.
cut Avenue in the Dupont Circle
vicinity-and his great size and
shaggy coat cause much COM
ment from bystanders as he is
piloted around.

of your pet, Liz Hume invites
you to send it in for use in

turned.

some of your experiences would

Questions
Care Of the Hands
Dear Miss Shelby:

Will you please give me some
information as to how I can
give my hands proper care.
Sincerely,
Dear Miss O's:
AS often as you wash your
hands during the day, use
soothing hand lotion or cream,
smoothing it in well.
At bedtime, after thoroughly
washing, rub the hands full Of
nourishing hand cream. or any
rich emollient cream. Massage
backs of hands with little ro-
tary movements. Beginning at
the base of each finger press
and mold, drawing with circular
movement along the length Of
finger. Pinch hard at nail tips
to help point them.
Knead and smooth each finger
toward the wrist, as though
putting on a new pair OF
gloves. Slap the hands to bring
the blood to nourish the tissues.
Let your hands lie inert at
your sides. Keep your arms
stiff, and rotate your hands at
the wrists, describing smooth
circles in the air with the
fingertips. Hold the arms out
horizontally at shoulder level
and shake the hands for sew
eral minutes. y

Advice to the
LoveIorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

She Hates His Criticism
Dear Miss Fairfax:
am engaged to a successful
and popular man. I love him
at least, I used to love him with
out a doubt, but I just turn to
stone when he begins criticising
me.
Like a silly, I used to ask his
advice about all sorts of things:
Business, politics, religion. even
my hats and dresses. Now he
holds forth on any subject, with
out being asked; hands down
opinions as if he were chief
Justice. He's 20 and I am 10.
When I cry with vexation, he
apologies until we make up,
and then he explains in such a
way as to make things a hun
dred times worse, so that cuold
scream. My brother says: "You
will never get even with that
bird, till after you marry him,
then you can have your turn,"
but don't want it that way.
NINETEEN.
Did you start this young man
handing down opinions like a
chief justice, by asking his ad-
vice on every subject, or is he
Just a natural Mr.. FiXit? If
of the latter persuasion, he
would be pretty difficult to live
with, it seems to me, but if you
started the trouble by drawing
him out on every subject, then
you're largely to blame. Your
brothers advice to get even with
him after marriage sounds poor
to me.
If he makes you scream now.
he probably will drive you to
something more violent after
you'd married him, don't you
think so?
She's Five Years Older and
Jealous
Dear Miss Fairfax:
My husband thinks I'm five
years his Senior-I admit that
much-truthfully it's more. But
facts aside as to years, I'm torn
with jealousy, when he looks at
another woman, young or old.
If he laughs at a joke or re.
spends in any way to another,
devils possess me.
could kill with joy: I could
see my very sisters suffer, If
they encouraged him. Am I
crazy? How can I set myself
from this degrading emotion? I
know how base it is. I want to
conquer it, but cannot.
HELEN.
You admit you are five years
older than your husband, truth
fully even more than that. If
you want to look your age and
then some, continue to indulge
yourself in the most ageing Of
all emotions.
Jealousy eats youth and
beauty, like a corrosive acid.
All the beauty parlors in town
cannot annul its effects.
In admitting that you rec
ognize jealousy as a serious
fault, you've made a start to-
ward getting the better of it,
though I don't believe you realize
it.
There is no cure for jealousy
like seeing the humor of it
another woman in your position
would be pitifully humorous,
don't you think so?

Peeling Apples
Put salt in the water in which
apples are peeled as well as in
the water which covers them
after peeling if you would pre-
vent any suggestion of discol-
grafton. One teaspoon of salt
per gallon of water is a salts

THERE is nothing quite 80 mixed
up In motor vehicle driving as
the question of right and left turns.
left turns particularly. This is be-
cause many cities of some states
have their own regulations which
are modified by intersecting signals
and by traffic policemen whenever
the occasion arises. This general
rule may be laid down. however,
for motorists:
Turn left from the left lane or
from a point nearest center OF the
street. If this rule is followed, IT
win be found to work out better
than any other method. Motorists
In a left lane expect a car to the
right of them to go ahead or to
make a right turn. consequently,
when, without warning. a car cuts
in front of a stream OF traffic in
the other lane, there is confusion.
Such a movement should be accom-
panied by hand signals at every
stage Of the way. The number of
Smyrna times., 1934-11-22

accidents due to improper turns in
1888 was more than 10000, with
5000 or more persons hurt, accord
ing to figures supplied by the Ma
tional Bureau of Casualty and
Surety Underwriters.
The National Conference on
Street and Highway Safety has put
forth left turn regulation as part
of its Model Municipal Traffic Or
dinance. 1t reads as follows: "Ap-
proach for a left turn shall be made
in the lane for traffic to the right
of and nearest to the center line
of the highway. and the left turn
shall be made by passing to the
right of such center line where 1t
enters the intersection and upon
leaving the intersection by passing
to the right OF the center line OF
the highway then entered"
If this we're observed under all
circumstances it would do much to
reduce the terrible toll this nation
now pays for motor vehicle driving.

less, or entails a program of inves-
tigation and rehabilitation, the Red
Cross is the official director of all
relief"
A great variation in type, and
a wide geographical distribution,
characterize the 103 disasters re-
ported last year. Tornadoes, hurri-
canes, hailstorms and other storms
made up almost one half of the total.
Especially numerous were the tropi-
cal storms which swept in from the
sea to the Atlantic and Gulf Coast
region. There were 81 storms of this
frequency.
Next in number to storms were
disasters of fire, the report shows.
Red Cross aid was given following
25 fires in the United States and in
sular possessions. The most spectac-
ular was the Chicago stockyards
fire, where Red Cross workers ar
rived shortly after the fire started,
administering relief until the emer-
gency period passed, giving first aid
to about 1000 persons.
Floods caused serious damage in
some sections, IL calling for Red
Cross relief. Three explosions were
reported and three epidemics of ma
laria and typhoid fever. A school bus
wreck was one of the years TRACE
dies for which Red Cross funds were
needed for relief and rehabilitation.
Technique acquired by the Red
Cross in these disasters and the
hundreds of others we have handled
is at the service of the public"
Chairman Payne said. ITO make
this possible the disaster relief SER
vice has issued manual containing
instructions for chapters interested
in advance preparations for emer-
gencies. Disaster institutes were
held last year in 2S strategic loca-
tions, to enable Red Cross and civic
workers to formulate plans for pos
sible disaster emergencies in their
communities.
Support of the disaster relief ac-
tivities of the Red Cross comes from
the annual roll call held each year
from Armistice Day to Thanksgiving
Day.
