No matter how perfect q ma
chine product may be, hand
work is always regarded as SUI
perior and more desirable. It
isn't often, however, that one
is able to find real handmade"
beauty preparations-and when
one does, it's news!
And now there has come out
of Russia a series of formulas
created by command of the EN-
press, Catherine the Great, for
the preservation of her beauty,
so effective that she always re-
ferred to them as my inSepara-
BILE balms of youth" They were
all compounded by hand, and
the formulae have come down,
through the family of a royal
Russian Countess, to the pres
ent day.
Confess, now. Haven't you
been guilty, sometimes, of add
ing fresh powder and rouge to
your face right over your stale
makeup? Don't you see how
that rubs the dust and CRIME
right into your skin? And don't
you sometimes hop into bed
at night without removing the
days accumulation of dust and
dirt from your skin? That's a
crime against your complexion,
too; for at night your skin
should be Immediately clean
and your pores free to breathe.

pointed dining table, and, IN a
little chat with her the otner
day. she voiced some OF her
ideas on the subject.
Mrs. Smith said that:
Fashions change in table
decorations almost as much as
they do in clothes or furniture,
and very demode is the woman
who does not realize that the
days of the 'centerpiece' have
gone. Then, the term center
piece meant Just that-a large,
ungraceful mass Of stiffly wired
roses or spring flowers set in q
bed of bright green artificial
moss. The flowers themselves
were usually pink, red or blue
to match the four wax candles
or the cOlOred glass, but often
at sad variance with the multi
cOlOred china, and the general
color scheme Of the dining
room.
CandeIabra
""The discriminating hostess
Of today" continued Mrs. Smith,
Chooses, wisely, fewer flowers,
of a more subtle cOlOring, and
arranges them herself, with in
finite care in some lovely an
tique piece Of silver, or old bit
of porcelain or crystal"
"Tf she is fortunate enough
to possess beautiful silver cande-
labra, or those heavenly old gilt
ones with crystal prisms, she
uses with these, white or cream
colored candles, crystal glasses
and as they are lovely with any
cOlored china, all white flowers.
Her linens and laceS are white
ecru, or, if the wood Of her din
ing table is particularly fine In
quality, she sometimes leaves it
bare to reflect in its polished
depths her silver and crystal by
candIelight.
"She does not use candleS IOr
luncheon, but, instead, arrangeS
in their place some of the fasci-
mating little figurines now so
much in vogue. She may decide
to have her entire table top mir
rored, and use some amusing lit
tie glass animals, thereby doing
away with the expense of linen,
and adding greatly to the chic
of her dining room.
Good Taste
Cor she may buy one Of the
new, very low, creamy porcelain
bowls, and fill it with red and
white carnations, the stems
Clipped short, so that they can
be pushed tightly into the bowl,
making the whole resemble ex.

Mrs. Smith concluded with the
observation:

afford rare laces and expensive
silver or crystal, for our tables,

It is said by canine fanciers
that there is no better COM
panion or house dog than a
pom. He learns easily, and IS
always ready to enter into the
spirit of the game.
The sprightly little pom has
a colorful history. He derives
his name from the province
of Pomerania, in the north of
Germany. There these dogs are
very numerous, being, in fact
the house dog of that country.
Those who have pried care
fully into the background Of
the pom declare that his an
cestors are undoubtedly related
to the samoyede and the Es-
quima. This conclusion is not
difficult to reach if you study
carefully the lines Of the pom.
The samoyede, Esquima and
pom all present a foxy head,
prick ears, curled tail and a
marked similarity IN coats.
What the Germans did was
to take the material at hand
and reduce it in size by care
full selection and inbreeding,
in order to make them more
acceptable as house pets. This
was done very slowly.
The old-fashioned wolf Spitz
or wolf sable, a direct descend
ant of the Esquimau, weighed
from Is to so pounds. Thirty
odd years ago the Pomeranian
of the show bench weighed from
Is to IS pounds. Today dozens
of them are benched weighing
well below S pounds, and all
have the marked characteristics
of their early ancestors, the
identical foxy head and ears,
the short back, and the full
coat.
The old-fashioned 20-pound
Pomeranian or Spitz dog was
usually white or sable in color.
Today they range in color from
black to parti-colored, including
brown, chocolate, red, orange,
cream, orange-sable, wolf sable,
beaver and blue-white.

Accessories Here Too
Washington has done it's
part. Many stores offer authen-
tic copies Of Hollywood designs,
and in other things as well as
in dresses. Hats are a favored

We're showing a costume TO-

sorry she didn't pose with the
jacket off, for it is then that
you realize the full possibilities
of this ensemble. The dress has
a long-Sleeved, all-over-e embroi-
dered white top, which makes
it perfect for cocktails and
dinner at home.
With the jacket over the white
top, you have a lovely theater
costume, which is really almost
more formal looking than with

Will vary according TO your type
of skin. Oily skins need an
occasional thorough washing
twice as frequently as dry ones,
and young skins can afford
washing more frequently than
mature ones. Compilations take
more kindly to soap and water
at night than in the morning.
Very dry or tender skins will
:-'eact better to a combination Of
the two methods-by following
the washing with rich cream
cleanser such as the Russian
preparation have in mind.
This cleanser comes to you
in an opaque white bottle. In
it's composition the finest oils
have been blended by hand into
a thick white fluid, as luscious
looking as rich whipping cream,
bland, fragrant and efficient.
It can be used equally well for
all skins, whether oily or dry.
You apply it with the finger
tips in an outward and up
ward rotary motion, night and
morning, and whenever neces-
sary during the day.

Advice to the

BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Why Not a Dutch Treat?

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I like a certain boy very
much. -Ae makes 1880 a week.
I'm II and looking for work.
I want him to ask me for a
date, or just to come and see
me. He seems very baShful,
but he's a splendid boy.
Girls tell me, though, that
he acts fresh with them, but
he's never fresh with me. He
talks about his home, way
down South, his people, and
himself. Is that a sign he
likes me? Do you think he
doesn't ask for a date because
he can't afford it? How can
I make him ask me? W.
Yes, 7 think he likes you
for several reasons-because Of
the things he talks about, and
because he's respectful in con.
trast to the way he acts with
other girls.
Why don't you suggest a
Dutch treat" movie the next
time you see him? Lots of
boys and girls, who are feel
ing the pressure of hard times.
with it's unemployment, don't
hesitate about Dutch treats"
Dear Miss Fairfax:
think a good deal of a
young lady and very often I
take her to an ice cream parlor
for a little supper. I find my.
self embarrassed, in not know
ing which is proper-to keep on
my overcoat, or take it off. We
have only a light refreshment
and are usually on our way to
the movies or some other place.

dining with her, that it would
be correct to remove my coat.
Also. should she give her order
to the waiter, or tell me her
choice?

Better remove your overcoat,
as it takes only a few seconds
to put it on. The young lady
should tell you what she would
like to have, and you in turn
give the order to the waiter.

Dear Miss Fairfax.

She Cares Only for Movies
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have a girl who cares about
nothing except movies. She
won't go out in my car, she
doesn't dance, she can't skate,
play tennis, and won't read the
newspapers -deesn't know
what's going on. She's just
movie-struck, and would go to
a show every night in the week.
I used to like her, but I find
myself becoming impatient with
girl who seems to have no
resources within herself. And
yet am sorry that what prom
ised to be happy future seems
destined to go on the rocks.
Y. L. G.
1t seems to me that you've
answered your own question.
You couldn't possibly have any
domestic life with a girl who
wants to go to the movies every
evening. The best advice I can
give you is to let someone else
have the pleasure of taking her.

PROGRESS TRAIN

New Haven Road Exhibits New Streamlined Coach
 at Depot To-day

When the natives of Waterbury inspect New York, New Haven & Hartfords Train of Progress, on exhibition at the local station to- day, p. m. to p. m., they will see most interesting example of New England inventive genius.
 One of the most fascinating fea- lures of this Progress Train is the complete air conditioning system in the beautiful new deluxe stream linod coach. It will be particularly interesting to New Englanders be- cause of the fact that the B. F. Sturtevant company, famous air engineers of HRyde Park, Mass, have played such an important rolV in its design and construction. This company not only, designed and furnished the fans, heating coils and cooling coils but also de- signed the low velocity air diffusing system which insures positive but gentle diffusion of conditioned air throughout the car.
 In designing the Sturtevant equipment and air dtfusing system for this deluxe coach, Sturtevant drew upon it's wide experience in designing air conditioning equip ment for over 2,000 railway cars and in air conditioning such build ings as the magnificent new De- 2artment of Justice building in Washington, D. c.
