Refreshes
Strained. and
Tired Eyes
BY JULIET SHELBY

There is no other feature as
important to ones beauty as the
eyes. They dominate the face,
just as the face dominates the
body. Through them is reflect
ed your health and your state
of mind, and by them, to sur
prising degree, your well-being
is controlled.
How few women realize that
nervousness, headaches, fatigue
and other ailments are caused
directly by eye strain! Ones
very poise is destroyed if the
eyes are not healthy and strong.
Yet most of you go blithely along
giving these remarkable organs
less attention than you give your
teeth-and that is little enough.
In caring for the eyes properly
they should be exercised, bathed
and massaged every morning.
And every evening they should
be refreshed with an antiseptic
eye lotion.
Exercises for the eyes consist
simply in moving and stretching
them as far as you can upward
and downward, far over to each
side and around in circle, then
reversing the circular movement.
Massage of the eyes is done
with the heel of the hand press
ing gently on. the eyeball and
moving it in a circle toward the
nose.
These you may do while You
lie abed in the morning. then
when you get up you battle your
eyes in a solution of boric acid.
At the end of the day, when
your eyes are strained and tired,
you must use a good eye antisep-
tic. A skin specialist, who be-
lieves strongly that eyes are the
keynote to all beauty, has
created an eye lotion which she
urges women to use after any
eye strain or overexposure to
dust, wind and strong lights.
Three or four drops applied to
each eye with a dropper SootheS

was going to bring her home?
Did I tell ANYONE 1 was going
to bring her home?"
We'll, we knew she arrived in
New York. All your friends were
talking about it. She wrote to
Bob Nolan's wife. Every time I
saw the pair of them they
twitted me about it. They said
it was all settled"
Kevin's face looked as though
it were cut from pale, hard steel.
His eyes were cold as a blade.
Did Pippin hear these ru-
mors? Did you tell her what
Bob Nolan said?"
Yes, did. But I didn't need
to. She heard it from other
sources.
Didn't she deny the tale?
Didn't she tell you it was a lie?"
"She never said a word"
He swung into his coat, threw
keys and a wallet into his
pocket.
Kathleen felt strangely ex-
cited: why should Pippin
deny rumors? What did she
know?
"Oh I was just curious. Just
wondered if everyone believed
in me-thought I might have
ONE friend"
YOU'RE not very fair! What

suggesting green. This may
or may not have something to
do with the fact that green is
forecast as one of the leading
colors for fall.
Original Bouquets
In the mater of flowers,
there is also much more origl-
nality than there used to be. No
longer must you carry the
conventional "roses and lilies
of the valley" Brides are go
ing in much more for gar
denias, and r:any of them pre-
fer rare orchids, or any un-
usual flower that they may
happen to have a fancy for.
Bridesmaids also are much
more fashionable if their bou-
quetS show some originality,
not only in the choice of flow
ers. but in their arrangement.
At this time of the year, a
sheaf of multicolored flowers
is smart. or a bouquet of field
flowers is in gooI taste. If you
want to be sentimental, by all
means have the dear old con-
ventional bouquets. but if you
want to be original, let your
fancy free.
Fashion information will be
gladly given by Miss LavilIe if
you call her at District 1000,
or write her at The Times, en-
closing self-addresSed, stamped

right would Pippin have to say
what you were going to do?"
His eyes narrowed. Leave
your alarm clock on my desk,
will you? Mines out of whack
and I've got to be out early
in the morning
You might "answer me-
Aren't you answered? I
haven't brought Hildegarde
home. I might add, she's not
arriving here. At leaSt-not

Kathleen listened to the door
close after him. Why did he
expect Pippin to defend him?
Why did the family always
think Pippin should rush in and
hide the corpse whenever muir.
der was done? Like Edward
having Pippin arrange for
bridesmaids at his wedding!
Queer things these men are!
She walked about his room,
absently setting it to rights.
But why did he get so violent
as though Pippin had done him
a mortal wrong?
Suddenly, Kathleen halted,
her cheeks burning and scenes
coming with startling clarity to
her mind-Kevin following Pip
pin up the stairs after Sonia's
wedding, taking the flowers
from the brides bouquet: Kelvin
driving down to the campus
just to see Pippin: Kelvin
whistling as he dressed to take
Pippin dancing.
Why had she not guessed be-
fore? Her thoughts went in
tumult. She couldn't sleep for
wondering.
Relief
Three o'clock the next after
noon, Pippin brought great
bowl of blue larkspur and pink
roses for her mother to see.
From Mary. dearest. No one
has such friends as you'll"
Chickie raised dark. miSted
eyes. They were worn and her
white face like marble with the
delicate blue veins standing
out. But to her daughter she
had never seemed so lovely.
She watched the girl arrange
the flowers.
What is the matter, Pippin?
You seem very sad"
II? Oh no! I'm silly with

It HAS been sad, mother.
have not dared to think. What
this house be if you had gone"
Pippin went to the garden
where she waited for Kath-
leen. She looked down over the
Palace of Fine Arts and the
fountain playing in the sun.
How blue the water looked and
bluer still was the tranquil sky.
She would be glad! Helena
would walk again. She would
laugh and be so lovely. This
was enough. She had vowed to
God it was enough! But how
that simmer of silver daZzled
on the bay! 1t made your eyes
blink.
Kathleen found her wiping
away tears.
Crying? But isn't Chickie
better?"
"she is. That's why cry,
The relief"
And mothers been weeping
all day because of joy. Funny
world
They sat on a bench. With
an undertone of excitement,
Kathleen said: did Kelvin
ever tell you he wasn't going to
marry Holdegarde?"
why should he tell it to
me?"
Il don't know. But did he?"
He never mentioned her
name"
It's certainly very strange"
Kathleen told of 1er interview
with Kelvin. She added: HE
got white with rage when I said
you hadn't denied it. He acted
as though you were on the
ground floor and knew all
about his affairs"
Pippin shot swift anxious
glance into Kathleen's face.
Her eyes went a little wild.
Kathleen had been putting
two and two together all morn
ing. She now said sharply:
"Kevin doesn't go off half
cooked. He must have written
it to you. He sent you letters,
didn't he?"
I'm the beginning"
who stopped writing first

He did"
"And were you expecting let.

At IL o'clock that night.
Kathleen, returning home from
a dinner. passed Kevin's room.
She heard the drawers of his
chiffonier slammed. Now shoes
we're being kicked into the
closet.
She poked her head into his
room. noticed his face dark and
his eyes savage. She sighed
and Walked in.
Are you on the rampage,
too?"
Kelvin was putting on his
shoes. She was a little intimi-
dated by the grim set of his
mouth. But these six weeks
had not been pleasant. Mary's
grief and Kevin's silence left
Kathleen lonely and depressed.
She was sorry for herself.
She said, accusing him, but
nervous: "Affable and sweet,
aren't we? Where are you 60
ing at this hour of the nighs?"
ITO the hospital. An emer.

Janice gave dinner for
Edward and Sonia. She wants
to introduce them to all her
darling friends. You know how
Janice loves to patronize any,
one. Isn't it a scream? Janice
alone used to bore Edward to
death. Now the poor boy has

ure."
He answered gruffly:
Ed seems happy enough"
He pulled into his shirt,
stuffed it into place, fastened
his belt. Kathleen came over
and rested her elbow on the
chiffonier.

knocked you for a loop"
He took time to glare at her
coldly.

"And Pippin looks as though
she is about to pass out OF the
picture. Then you come home,
cast black looks around and go
into a silence. Did it interfere
with your plans to be called
home so ebruptly?"
He fairly shot his indignation:
What plans?"
II don't know. But you GER
tainly act as though someone
done you wrong. What about
Hildegarde?"
Hurt Pride
Kelvin, standing before the
mirror pulling his necktie has
tily into place, turned blazing
eyes at his sister. But he said,
with constrained quiet:
What bout Hildegarde?
What do you mean, Kathleen"
I'VE thought you were going

and cigarettes jiggled.

The main story was in the
fact that cottons are now so
smart for weddings, but there's
a color story almost as good.
For the originals of those
bridemaids' gowns were in
green and white stripes. OF

in any color, but green was
preferred by the designer (.

dings, you may have noticed
that some of the Smartest
have had green. or green and
white as their color scheme.
One wedding. uniting two
prominent families, was most
interesting, with bridesmaids
gowned in pale green satin,
and the brides mother in dark
green satin. The color set off
the brides frothy white veil
and white satin gown to SUI
preme advantage.
The better New York bridal
services, and various bureaus

combinations with green this
year. Green and yellow is a
favorite, and green and white
particularly good. I find that

Topping the list of faVorites
among quilts is the choice chrys-
anthemum pattern. Why its
favoritism? The illustration
shows a number of reasons. It's
beauty-itS truthful representa-
ton of the flower-its simple
structure; it is easy to cut be-
cause most of the patches are
in strips so all you do is cut the

Cocoa Butter Massage

OOSVeS D~VSSk AfAS~1SSSSN
Dear Miss Shelby:
AS a result of infantile
paralysis my left leg is thinner
than the right leg.
Would cocoa butter be benefi-
cial?
What is the best method of
reducing the arms and Shout
ders? Sincerely. Fl. G.
Dear Miss H. g.:
Warm cocoa butter massaged
briskly on your left leg, using
an upward movement, should be
helpful.
In regard to reducing the
flesh on the upper arms and
shoulders I would say this is
quite difficult. However, the
best results are obtained by mas
saying, kneading and punching
the flesh to melt it away.
SallOw Skin
Dear Miss Shelby:
1 have a sallow skin and
large pores. All I use for my
skin is cleansing cream and
cream lotion. Is that suffi-
cient? Sincerely. P. C.
Dear Mrs. P. c.:
A cleansing cream and To-
ton are all right, and, unless
your skin is very dry and you
need a nourishing cream. This
should keep your skin in good
condition.
For the sallow condition, try
to improve your circulation by
more outdoor exercise and fresh
air; the daily bath, followed
by cold shower and brisk
friction with a coarse towel.
A cream with lemon would be
good, too, and home remedies
such as tomato and lemon
juice, peroxide diluted three
parts and buttermilk are good.
Keeping Blond Hair Light
Dear Miss Shelby:
What can I use to prevent my
blond hair from becoming
darker?
My eyes are greenish gray.
What color eye-shadow should I
use? What colors should I
wear? Sincerely, A. j. r.
Dear Mrs. A. j. r.:
The lemon rinse is good, and
you would also like the camo-
mile rinse. This is made by
sleeping two ounces camomile
flowers in a pint of boiling
water. Used as a final rinse
after a shampoo it gives a
sunny lustre to the hair and i'm
proves its texture.
Use green shadow for your
eyes, blending it close to the
upper lashes. It will make your
eyes greener and more alluring,
especially if you wear green &C
ceSsories in your dress.
Purpose of AstringentS
Dear Miss Shelby:
Just what is an aStringent?
MY skin is oily. It shines
about half an hour after pow
dering and yet, after washing,
it seems almost chapped.
Do you think an astringent
might cure this peculiar condi-
ton of my skin. Sincerely,
Dear S. B.:
An astringent tones the skin
and closes the pores. Cold
water is an astringent for it
contracts the pores, freshenS
the skin and firms it. Witch
hazel is astringent, also lemon
juice, or benzoin in water.
Wash your oily skin with
warm water and soap, finish
ing with cold water and an
aStringent. At bedtime, smooth
on a little cream over the SEN
sitive Rarts and leave on a
while. except on porous parts,

Helpful Hints for
Housewives
Tempting Dishes


A casserole of scalloped eggs
and olives, accompanied by
salad of crisp greens, is just
the thing for which many ap-
petites yearn. Fat, green olives,
sleek black ones or gay pimien-
to-Stuffed ones - take your
choice. They all go well with
eggs. The firmer texture of the
olives. combined with the softer
texture of the hard-cooked
eggs, makes a pleasant con-
trast. AS for the flavor COM
bination-aSk the one who
tries it.
Cake Design
A fancy touch may be given
to a plain white frosting by
painting a design in melted
chocolate upon it. Draw the de-
sign on tissue paper, lay this
on the cake after the icing has
set and prick the design out
with a darning needle, using
just as few holes as possible.
Remove the paper. dip a fine
paint brush into melted choco-
late and follow the holes that
you have made with the needle.

heads flat against the red fruit.
The effect was charming, and
beautifully complemented the
red glass and white lace.
In another dining room, the

table was composed of a milky

and black dollhouse grapes.

the effect of an old-fashioned
bouquet.
Illusion
A lace dolly may be placed be-
tween the dish and the v2ge-
tables to heighten the illusion.
All the vegetables must be
scrubbed clean with brush, OF
course, and any irregularities
removed with knife. Then
they may all be carved into the
shape of rosebuds, with a sharp
knife, a little time, and some
ingenuity. Remove the dull
outer skin from the onions, sc
that they will be very white and
shiny.
Small red tomatoes, carrots
and black dollhouse grapes, or
the darkest red cherries also
make a pretty combination. A
red cabbage, pulled open like
rose, and surrounded by parsley
or watercreSS, with baby carrots
set at modernistic angles, also
sounds a new note, and is anus
ingly different.
A cauliflower, in it's own green
leaves, is a lovely thing by it.
self, but surround it with mass
of red cherries, and it is twice
as charming.
Peaches, yellow plums. nee
tarines and apricots, with a few
laurel leaves tucked in the
mound, here and there, always
make a colorful centerpiece. A
graceful bunch of white grapes
may be laid across the top.
Once, long ago, lemons and
oranges were a rarity in Europe,
only to be imported at great ex-
pense, and by perilous travel and
adventure. The old china firm
of Nielsen, in Germany, made
one of their dinner sets for roy
atty, and included some little
china bowls, in shape rather
like our egg-cups, which were
destined to hold a lemon apiece
as a table decoration - very
much as we would place a deli
cate orchid at each guests place
at a very important banquet.
The little bowls are of the same
lowered pattern as the rest Of
the china, but tucked away in
the design on each is a little
lemon tree.
Customs Change
A friend of mine happened
upon the set for sale, some time
ago, in Berlin, and bought it,
little cups and all. Now. when
ever she gives a very formal din
ner, using that china. she fills
the bowls with their lemons. in
perfect traditional form, and
uses pale yellow roses in the
middle of the table to carry out
the general effect.
It seems odd, doesn't it, that
what we now use "for squeez-
ing" and garnishing, and class
mentally with parsley and cook
ing apples, was once considered
such a rare and exquisite addi-
ton to the table that special
bowls were made for it, by royal
command?
Maybe our great-great-grand-
children will eat orchids for
salad!
