Windy Days
for
Complexion.
Beautifying Powers
of the Elements Win
Recognition.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.


ONE Of Jean Muir's ancestors was
the leader of an ancient Scotch
uprising. And, If she were free to
choose favorite dwelling place, It
would be In the Highlands of Scot
land. The people there aren't afraid
Of wind or weather. 1t is sunshiny one
minute and misty or rainy the next.
Then out comes the sun again, and
again it rains. But that doesn't keep
people indoors. And Jean Muir gets
her fill of the sun, wind and rain.
She Is outdoors whenever possible, no
matter what the weather.
This is the attitude that modern
medicoS are taking. They are urging
us to get back to the great outdoors.
They tell mothers to dress their chill
dren appropriately, but get them out
in spite Of clouds or wind or a slight
drizzle. OF course, it is neither pleas
ant nor necessary to brave real storms.
Beauty teachers have emphasized
skin protection against the elements
to such an extent that women have,
unfortunately, chosen the easier road
no protection and no outdoors.
Miss Muir's lesson is particularly
timely. Do, please, get your share Of
air on clear, cold day. Don't huddle
indoors. She herself rides great deal,
but prefers hiking. preferably cnmb-
ing mountains. When, much to her
sorrow, there are no mountains to
climb, she does the next best thing
walks and rompS with her dog. And
she alternates her exercises with FIVE
minute rest periods several times a
day. Relaxation is so important It's
an art every woman should master.
But because she believes so sincerely
in the beautifying powers of the heav.
enly elements doesn't mean that Miss
Muir depends upon them alone. For
she follows an important beauty rou-
tine daily. Her body may ache from
a healthy, strenuous day and she may
be weary from vigorous exercise.
Nevertheless, she takes the time to
remove every bit of makeup. She
heats mineral oil to skin temperature,
applies and removes it several times
to be sure no dirt remains in the pores.
After the last application she allows
a little to remain on for nourishment.
In the morning she uses a soft CONF
plexion brush, soap and water and
rinses several times with clear, cold
water.
She knows that her blond beauty
must be preserved she goes a step
farther. enhancing it with beautiful
makeup shades and costume colorS.
Her evening gowns for Winter eve
nings are royal purple or white. With
them she wears a bright, blood-red
paste rouge, matching lipstick darker.
than-daytime shade of cream powder,
blue eye-shadow and black mascara.
For her hair, soapless oil shampoo
made from avocadoes, a new shampoo
which she has discovered in Cali
fornia. She alternates this with hot
oil treatments and CASTLE soap sham
poos.

Dorothy Dix Says
A Good Husband Is Woman's Greatest
Prize in Life.

that is worth taking home. For nus
bands. just as husbands and without
regard to merit, have o definite In
trinsic value, and even when woman
can't get along with one she finds life
dust and. ashes In her teeth without
one.
A husband also seems as necessary
to make a home as a vacuum cleaner
or an electric icebox. This is the case
even when he doesn't support 1t.
Somehow he supplies atmosphere-llke
a piece of genuine antique furniture
or a good Persian rug. And he puts
pep into the housekeeping. 1t never
seems worthwhile to woman to get
up a good meal unless there is going to
be a man to eat it. widows and old
maids notoriously run to a tea-and-
toast diet and those denominations OF
nothingness that are euphoniously
known as dainty" dishes.
y
THEN q husband Is simply invalu-
able as an abb. The unmarried
woman has to stand on her own feet
and take the consequences Of her own
acts, but the married woman simply
hides behind her husband and saves
her face. When she doesn't want to
Join a cause or take tickets for some
boring lecture series or give the money
to charity that she wants to spend on
a new hat, all she has to say Is, my
husband just simply forbids 1t" or
MY husband doesn't approve Of II"
and that's that.
A HUSBAND Is also valuable as
= justification for self-pity, and the
worse he Is the better he Is. There
are a large number of women who
find their greatest happiness in being
martyrs, and there is nothing they
enjoy so much as weeping upon a
sympathetic breast and telling their
troubles. If they are single 1t cramps
their style, but If they have husbands
they can just let themselves go and
wallow in woe while they tell of how
John won't work and support the
family. or how Tom came home drunk
last night, or how Percy is running
around. But If you have ever tried to
separate poor abused wife from her
brute Of a husband you have found
that 1t can't be done. She has no idea
Of parting from husband she can
complain about.
So, taking all Of these things to-
gether. my dear, you will see that
husband is a pretty handy thing to
have around the house. II he is a
good one he makes paradise on earth
for you, and If he isn't a good one he
takes your mind of Of your other
troubles. DOROTHY DIX,

n YEW frocks emphasize the
N shoulder line. Some Of them
look as padded as foot ball
captains suit. Some have the
epaulets which appear on soldier
clothes. Buttons, braids, pleats, shir-
ring; all sorts of devices are employed
to widen the line. And, of course,
waistlines are very slim in contrast.
Far be it from us to even countenance
the possible return of the wasplike
waist, but some of the smartest frocks
achieve that illusion without making
the wearer uncomfortable. and the
widened shoulder helps. So do crisp
peplums, standing out little from the
body. and the flare at the bottom Of
the skirt contrasting with the slim
contour Of the hips.
Especially nice are the details in the
dress today. Wide pleats trim the sides
of the blouse, and come out over the
shoulder and upper part Of the sleeves.
Makes one think a little of the old
type shirtwaist, with its inevitable
shoulder pleats. But these are shaped,
rounded a little. and the seams in
front are rounded, too. giving the
effect of scalloped panel. The neck is
slit way down the front, and round
collar and tie finishes it. There are
five buttons to trim the front of the
blouse, and more on the shoulders.
Sleeves are long, with q fitted section
making the cuffs. The peplum stops
at either side Of the front panel which
is really huge box pleat, giving plenty
Of fare to the skirt. In back it covers
the upper part of the panel. 50 that
the dress really looks like very smart
little suit.
Lots Of brightly colored frocks are
now appearing under the great coats
which must be worn this time Of year.
There is distinct liking for the pastel
shades, or those not actually pastel,
but light and bright. Coral is exceed
ingly smart in wool and shades are
numerous; one is almost flame, one
yellow-rose, besides the red coral shade
which Is that most often seen. Aqua

is next, soft fuchsia, almond green and
citron shares are all very pretty.
Grays and natural tones are seen a
great deal, and a demand for these
"naturals" is predicted for the Spring
months. They are pleasure to wear,
for they do admit many changes in
accessory colors. And in this frock

don't believe it. Living with thou
sands and thousands of children for
years, have learned some things
about them. Very definite things.
One of them is that when child pos

hungers and thirsts after 1t. He drives
himself and everybody he meets A
music hungry child does not need to
be forced to practice. The struggle we

among other branches of education so
that they may not grow lopsided and
their talent be Stunted by too much
OF one thing.

great to make an artist. What the
boy says isn't true. There wasn't
chance in a thousand that he would
have been a musician. His criticism
of his mother was absolutely unjusti-
fed, without rhyme or reason. That
boy didn't want to learn music. He
wanted to do something else and he
did it in spite of his mother. Prob
ably the only way he could have been

him what to do, gave him a chance
and encouraged him whenever she
could. His life after that was in his
own hands, and he made failure Of

his mother.
1t is easy to blame mothers for the
shortcomings of the children. IF his
mother had made him work, If his
mother had made him practice, if his

his mother had made him go to

absurd. and it is. Mothers would, If
they could, do all things.

is ungrateful, stupid. Most mothers
are wise with the wisdom of the ages.

no more. Children must 60 along

might say that a good husband is

THIS glamorous season that is
1 making such a lavish use Of
gold Is not content with lame

THIS glamorous season that is
making such lavish use Of
gold is not content with lame
- evening gowns, gold costume
jewelry and all sorts of accessories,
but is even putting gold into the sea-
sons newest beauty creams.
Two very smart-looking black glass
jars on gold base contain the deli
cate pink creams, one a cleanser and
its companion a revitalizer, both said
to contain an element of gold having
tonic properties. The story is that
dermatologists became interested in
an ancient theory that elements of
gold mixed with wine preserved the
smooth, soft texture of the skin. After
much recent experimentation a new
process was discovered by which it
was possible to prepare gold in such
form that 1t consisted of millions Of
inflnitesimal atoms, each atom being
charged with natural electricity, and
in constant movement. This move
ment, although, of course, not readily
apparent, can actually be observed
through q special microscope. Gold
in this form no longer has the usual
properties of a metal, and even its
color changes completely from a bright
yellow to a soft, delicate pink. After
discovering that this specially ac-
tivated gold exerted a marked tonic
action on the skin tissues without
the slightest harm to the tissue itself,
two new creams were developed, one
for cleansing and the other a re-
vitaliZer.
Their soft, velvety texture makes
them especially delightful to Use. as
they can be smoothed over the skin
with the very gentlest touch. When
faithfully used at night, as directed
in each case, they are said to keep
the skin always beautifully soft and
youthful. These creams are being
presented In one shop in each large
city, and today 1t is making its debut
In Washington. We know you will be
interested in seeing 1t.
OF FURTHER interest among the
creams that are showing q liking
for gold, Is a new magic masque, but
this gold interest Is confined to the
Evening star., 1935-11-25

very attractive square gold container
for the jar, and the gold name plaque
on the Jar. This cream is to be used
after cleansing the face as a l5-min-
ute facial. The masque pulls the skin
up tightly with drawing sensation,
while it is getting In its work Of slim
ulation, and when Is minutes have
elapsed, it is washed of with clear
cold water 1t is very simple treat
ment for bringing the blood to the
surface and making your face glow.
This product is being manufactured
In Washington and will be put on the
market in a short time. In order to
have large number of persons &C
quainted with it through actual use,
the company will gladly send you a
trial jar, without charge.
THE twins shown at the top Of the
sketch are most welcome little
friends, either for yourself or as
holiday gift. The gay automatic lip
stick and the utterly chic miniature
mascara case are almost identical and
will occupy but small space in your
handbag. These may be found at de-
partment stores and the better drug
stores, the lip stick selling for $l.10
and the little half-size mascara at SIS
cents.
WE ALL love the unusual, and yes

madam girl came into the Office and

lection of hand-woven bedspreads and
couch covers that she and friend
have just brought to Washington and
will be glad to show to any one who
will call them on the telephone. They
expect to be here for about a month,
and this will furnish new and differ
ent source Of material for Christmas
gifts. These young people have also
brought Javanese batiks from the
Dutch East Indies, embroidered Span
ish luncheon sets and table runners
as well as pieces Of old pewter. They
would love to bring the articles to your
home for you to see, or they might ask
you to stop by at their rooms, If con-
venient. We have their phone number
If you are interested.
GOOD things always come in pairs.
and not only did we find the Ca
madam girl, but met such delightful
native of Russia in her own studio
apartment surrounded by native Rus
sian handiwork against q setting Of

tique furniture and interesting por-
traits.

from the nuns in Moscow, and will

all the outside leaves by shredding
them with a sharp knife and making
them into pretty nest for a salad.
