-BEAUTY----'-- Gloriying Yourself
 By Alicia Hart

 On the question of using make up to enhance your natural color ing or to change it to harmonize with whatever shade you happen to be wearing, cosmetic authorities are divided into two schools of thought.
 One claims it is ridiculous to buy a dress whose color makes your skin look sallow, then to try to find rouge and lipstick in some unusual tone to alleviate the sallow look. Cos meticians in this group tell us to pinch our cheeks while we stand at the cosmetic counter, then to pick rouge to match the shade our cheeks become after the natural color rises. They insist, too, that lipstick must match the tone the lips become after they have been rubbed against each other for sev- eral minutes.
 They go on to say that one should apply these natural looking artifices before she tries on new color. If, in spite of the rouge and lipstick, the color isn't flattering, it is a waste of money to buy the gown.
 The second school, on the other hand, insists that any woman can wear any color under the sun, pro- viding her makeup is right. One member of this group puts out a set containing six lipsticks-one to wear with 8 blue dress, another to go with red frock-and so on. Others make powder, rouge and lip- stick sets, especially designed to be worn with specific colors.
 The problem, in the final analy- sis, is largely up to the individual, of course. If you are content with cosmetics that dramatize and en- nance your natural skin tones and with colors which are flattering any day in the week, side with the first school and be happy. If you in- sists on picking colors that are trou- blesome to you personally, why not go over to the second school-tem- porarily at least-and see just how much makeup can do? It would be fun anyway.

 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

A man said not long ago, T get a bit tired reading about the 'Suc- cess fellow and his little red school house, the old swifnmin' hole and copper-toed shoes. These old birds are wrapping i1aloes around their boyhood, because we always put 8 shrine over things that are gone. Besides when they see life slipping on it's natural, suppose, to wish that childhood could come back" And then he went on to tell about his own childhood. T had about as decent a time as any kid I knew. Better, in some ways. I spent half the year in the country and the other half in town, so I have double memories to revert to.
 Maybe it was my temperament not to be gurgling with joy, but at any rate I don't seem to have any hangover of happiness about it all now.
 , "There was always something I seemed to be dreading. If it was not calling-down from my dad it was reminder from my mother. Grandmother was always telling me to be 8 good boy and talking morals to me, and the aunts and uncles were forever comparing me to my cousins.
 Honor Through Dishon0r
 q never expected praise for anything and never got it. What I did that was right didn't draw any praise. I was never told what a good boy I was. I see now why Jack Horner had to pat his own back. Except once that impressed itself on my memory, perhaps, be- cause it was so rare. I sneaked the old shepherd dog into Grandma'S and kept him in my room one night. He slept on my bed. The next morning some farmers came to accuse Shep of. killing sheep. Said he had been seen. I produc- ed Shep and all the family looked at me as though I were lafayette and Houdini rolled into one. I was allowed to have all the chick en and noodles I wanted. If had asked to set fire to the barn that day somebody would have handed me a match. And yet I had achieved the honor through dis honor. Those things were always mixing me up.

Dip in melted butter and fill the inside of each section with chestnut dressing. Broil in a very hot oven in drip ping pan. Arrange halves or quar- ters, depending on the size of the birds, stuffing side down in dripping pan. Baste every fifteen minutes while broiling with 8 mixture of melted butter and boiling water. It will take about an hour to cook the birds.
 Stuff the tomatoes with a mixture of chopped cucumber and horse radish in whipped cream. Add lemon juice to make tart if the horse radish doesn't do the trick.
 Serve the parfait in meringue shells and pour hot chocolate sauce over. If you make your own parfait, color it delicate green for a fine color combination--green ice cream in white meringue shell with brown chocolate sauce.

This entities the nurse to sigl her name Jane Doe, R.N, and als, establishes her standing in tn highest grade of her calling.
 Dear Dr. Brady:
 First ''fan" letter I ever wrote -. your article regarding nurses
 Having graduated in 1910 and worked To, these many years, it warns my heart to hear doctor champion our cause.
 Being just a horse and buggy kind of person, nothing sentiment tai enters into my being a nurse. When I think of teachers, clerks, librarians, stenographers, etc., with their short hours, holidays and regular weekly pay, I can't understand myself what weak quirk keeps us at this nursing, but I do know, I would be un- happy doing anything else. If we don't work Christmas day we are not paid for that day. Or any other day. Our rest is a catch as catch can affair, and still we go on nursing
 Thank you for the kindness ex- pressed for us, and we will all look forward to the day when we shall rate the same consideration shown teachers and other women whose work requires no more education, training, application, endurance and intelligence than nursing does.
 Gracefully,
 Now listen to a part of the lette of the mother of a pupil nurse: Dear Dr. Brady:
 .... your article you did not go far enough. In one of the largest and most expensive hos pitals in .......... the first year girls are given night duty on an entire floor until they are just about dead when morning comes. Add to this the vile, inadequate, sloppy, cold food, and you have a racket that harms many girls in their early career and wrecks their health prison fare, vile cold coffee with skim milk in it, canned corn in ear corn time, |.

 Paris (UP)-The mid-season col- lectionS at the numerous Paris fashion houses are so variable that 1t is difficult to form a general con- clusion as to just what constitutes the 1886 silhouette. It is certain, however, that the line will remain straight with slight blouse at the waist and slightly flaring skirt. The tailored suit takes an im- portant place for every hour of the day and night, ranging from the sport suit, through town cos- tunes, cocktail suits up to the ex- tremely formal midnight suit. Blouses vary in cut, some being high at the neck and others show ing a low decollete.
 Two coat types are seen, one fitted and moulded, while the other is lose with back fullness achieved by tucks or pleats. Both types are seldom as long as the dress, both have wide sleeves and have collars that are extremely small or non- existent.
 The evening silhouette points definitely toward suppleness with certain amount of draping and blousing. Skirts are moulded to the knee where there is frequently shirring before a flare to the floor.
