clicked her bag open and showed me
an ndelible lipstick she uses. She
puts 1t on her lips rather heavily at
first. Then allows it to dry for a few
minutes and wipes OF the excess on a
facial tissue. The effect is completely
natural.
She laughed as she demonstrated
her lipstick rather apologetically.
"You know, think American women
have the best taste in the world in
clothes and they use cosmetics with
more artistry than the women Of any
other nation"
Remember that this statement comes
from one who has lived in Spain and
counts ex-Queen Victoria as her friend.
She has watched the splendor Of court
life on the continent, having spent her
debutante years abroad after a child
hood in Mexico, where she was edu-
Gated to take her place as descendant
Of one Of the oldest and richest
families.
American women realize that an
excess Of cosmetics defeats their ap-
pearance," she explained. To my in
quiry as to her own cosmetic habits,
she replied:
Personally, I follow the beauty
treatments applicable to most bru-
nettes. use a darkish powder and a
bright lipstick When I take a sun
bath I oil my skin with pure olive oil.
Not one square inch is neglected. And
remember, the sun gives health, but
take it in mild doses-too much
parches the skin and, think, causes
wrinkles.
ITO have beauty" she said in con-
clusion, you must have the Judgment
to live a balanced life! Perhaps it
hinges on a philosophy which should
be used as frequently as powder

anced diet and moderate exercise are
essentials to health. You must learn
to live on balanced ideas-must know
when to say enough whether it is
eating sweets, staying out late or work
ing day and night. Excess in any Of
these will drive away your natural
complexion, give you eruptions on the
face and lines about the eyes that cos
metics cannot cover up"
Then you do not believe in the use
Of cosmetics?" I asked her.

little person, whose beautiful face

A I fish Is about three times as
wv long as he is deep. AS you
may find buffers along the
Atlantic Coast, from Flori-
da to ,Casco Bay. and they are very
plentiful as far north as Cape Cod,
you no doubt have seen them, either
puffed or otherwise. Some know the
fish by the name of swell toad, others
called globeflsh. Names show much
travelled fellow.
He is dark olive green above, with
glistening white belly. His sides
are greenish yellow or orange, and
sometimes you will see ashy-colored
ones instead of olive green. The
males are smaller than the females,
and the average length is about 10
inches.
Puffers are Summer fish on the
southern coast of New England. They
are most abundant south of the Gulf
Of Maine. You see them appearing
in late May and early June, and they
disappear in October and November.
They like the shallow water, not far
from land. Here, through the clear
depths, you may see them chasing
crabs, shrimp, small mollusks, sea
urchins and barnacles. They also con-
sumo great quantities of smaller ami
mails they find on the floor of their
hunting grounds.
The funny thing about the fish is
its timidity or nerves" The Slight
est disturbance frightens one and they
initiate themselves quickly. In this
State they float upside down, with
their gliStening "tummies" easily seen
Not until they feel confident that all
is well do they deflate and assume
their normal size and position.
1t is believed that the buffers spend
their Winter in deeper water, where
it is not disturbed, and that they are
less active at this time.
From June until the middle of
Summer they spawn. The eggs are
laid close to the shore, and they sink
quickly to the bottom. They are so
coated with sticky fluid that they be-
come anchored to anything they touch
including each other. In four or five
days they will hatch, if the tempera-
ture of the water is about Ct degrees.
They are festive-looking infants,
brilliantly colored with red, orange,
black and yellow. In three days they
begin to take food, and, if you please.
these tiny youngsters can initiate them
selves and float on their backs.
AS you can see, parents or children
are not provided with large mouths.
The small opening is situated at the
tip of the snout, as in fllefishes and
triggerflShes. They have no true teeth.
The bones Of the lower and upper
jaw form cutting edges.
The canny-looking eyes are set very
high and are horizontally oval in out
line, having tendency to give to the
fish wise expression, usually missing
in fish, you have no doubt found.
The skin is scaleless, and that Is
one reason for the name, smooth;

nEW forms on grass in the same
way that sweat" does on the sides
Of a glass Of cold water. On clear
nights, stones, grass and other OBJ
jects lose their heat rapidly by ra-
diation to the sky. This makes these
objects colder than the air about them;
therefore, the moisture in the air con-
denses on the cool objects-just as the
moisture of ones breath condenses
on a cold window pane.
Some of the moisture may rise from
the earth itself, and condense on
the blades of grass. In this case the
dew would be rising rather than fall
ing. On cloudy nights the amount
of heat radiation does not lower the
temperature of the objects sufficiently
to cause condensation on them.

The becomingneSs of subtle

of closing to be entirely eliminated
from matronly fashions. However, re-
Gently it has been slightly eclipsed by
less satisfactory styles, so its current
revival is something to rejoice about.
The lines of this dress are smartly

queenly collar of starched lace, which
Tares away from the face prettily.
Long ends of the same lace form a

over the bust line, and insure per-

the sleeves are noticed in the elbow
puffs with deep cuffs, fitting closely
at the wrists. The skirt is made
simply, with shaped front panel that
has a graceful flare at the hem-line.
Dull, non-reflecting fabrics should
be the choice for matronly figures.

The puffer should be examined just

whistling back to the house.
After time he reappeared. He had
a basket on his arm, and he was
whistling, and never had his whistle
sounded merrier. He went over to
the dear Old Briar Patch and left
carrots and cabbage leaves. He went
to the lower end Of the Old Pasture
and left some things he knew Reddy
Fox would like. On the edge of the
Old Orchard, in special feeding sta

left corn and nuts for Happy Jack the
Gray Squirrel and Chatterer the Red

So all that day peace and good will

Even if South opens the bidding,

QUT even though the digestive system
= mains intact, one adjunct to it is UNDER
going notifications and will continue to do so.
DR.. Shapiro warns. This is our dental
equipment.
No vertebrate is afflicted with such extensive
dental decay as man, he says. Our jaws have
shortened amazingly since the happy, forgot
ten, tree-dwelling days-indeed, many modern
men never get the of their third molars,
or wisdom teeth.
A whole new branch of dental surgery
orthodontia-has been developed to take care
Of the many ills Of overcrowded, badly
arranged, Interrupted teeth. So when our
bulky and well-stomached future man eats, he
will have to manage his pleasures Of the table
with even poorer and smaller teeth than We
have now, and perhaps fewer of them.
Even more significant, however, may be the
changes taking place in the top of mans head
during the half million years to come.
His brain may be expected to increase in
size-although DR.. Shapiro hedges his prophecy
at this point with the reminder that cerebral
evolution may be accomplished by an improve
ment in the quality of the brain without an
accompanying increase in size. But, in spite

he says. that its principles will be applied, but
far from its course"
The first thing you might notice, if you
your great grandson -16 .666- -times-removed ap-
preaching from a distance. would be his great
height and corresponding bulk.
Even in recent times, people Of the same
stock of the same line of descent, have been
growing taller and heavier. Dr. Shapiro cites
the close physical measurements that have been
made on three generations OF Harvard men.
Members OF the present generation in this group
are about 3.55 centimeters Qas inches) taller
than their own fathers younger sons are some
what taller than their elder brothers, and the
fathers are taller than the grandfathers.
The increase in height will entail an increase
in girth as well. probably. Such has been the
tendency in all lines Of animal descent. That
is what happened in the long descent of the
horse from the little Eohippus.
This taller, heavier, any-times-removed
great-grandson WILL Of course, require nutriment
for his bigger body DR.. Shapiro is not OF
these who expect future man to have a mueh-
reduced digestive system, sufficient only to
absorb highly concentrated food pills with
which they fancy man will content himself. He
makes mock of such dismal forecasters:
Perhaps even such q vestigial digestive tract
may be dispensed with altogether If man ever
becomes Indifferent to food. In that sad day
the essential nutriment Of lime might then be
injected directly into the blood stream
But cannot accept this very dismal future.
The delights of the table are too pleasant to be
lightly eliminated in favor Of the sterile and
joyous consumption Of food pills.
Il can see no diminution in mans appetite
If anything, he eats more than primitive man
and certainly have yet to know a healthy
man who shows even the faintest inclination
to relinquish the sensuous and delicate enjoy
ment of solid foods. Therefore, I leave you

mans future.
have thus been drawn Of what humanity will
be like but they have been almost wholly the
work of imagination; sober scientists have for
the most part shied of, denying that they were
prophets or the sons of prophets.
But now arises in the assembly of romancers
and sheer guessers young man soundly versed
in anthropology the science of man, and offers
a modest forecast Of what mankind may be like
100000 years from now. He is DR.. D. L.
Shapiro, associate curator of physical anthro-
pology at the American Museum Of Natural
History.
He is a young man, but his ability and
promise are well attested by his older col
leagues And the suggestions he puts FORTH
somewhat Professionally, are not just guesses;
they are based on careful study Of the fossil
remains of early races of man and OF his near
est cousins among the lower animals, together
with observations of what seem to be present
trends of physical development among modern
men.
In other words, DR.. Shapiros prophecy is
the application of common method of science
the projection of the more or less solid line
of the known past as dotted line into the
unknown future.
TO FORECAST what man may be like at the
end of half million years may seem
very bold thing to do, but Dr. Shapiro with
some humor, declares it to be exactly the
or--o't
:"a are two ways he says, for prophet
to cape the consequence of prophesying
wrongly: Either he may be as vague as the
famous Delphic oracle was, 50 that anything
that happens may be taken as the fulflment
OF his dictum, or he may set the date so far
in the future that he will be dead and gone
beyond the reach Of criticism by the time the
outcome of his prophecy is known. So 100000
years offers kind of immunity.
There is another good reason, however, for
taking long focus into the future. Any
prophecy at a much shorter range say 1000
or $4,000 years, Dr.. Shapiro says, might not be
particularly interesting, for evolution moves so
slowly that nothing much is likely to happen to
mans physical being in such short periods as
those.
Present day man is very little changed from the
meh of the later days of the Old Stone Age.
II indeed he is changed at ALL But half a
million years gives man time enough to change
his makeup and emerge with at least slightly
different face and figure.
Before launching into his prophetic career.
Dr. Shapiro also takes another precaution, as
proper scientist should. He covers up contin-
gencies with solid, protecting "if.'
