Individuality

Gre a ting Surround

BY ELSIE PIERCE.

lean HARLOWS Bel-Ar nome IN
California Is called the platinum
palace. 1t has been planned. Of course,
to serve as an enhancing setting for
this exotic star. The living room,
library and her boudoir are ivory
white with accents in pastel shades.
Always dramatic.
More and more women are learning
that the right backgrounds and the
right color schemes are as important
as the color combinations Of their cos"
tunes. Offhand, there might seem
to be no relationship between the
color Of ones favorite evening gown
and the color Of the curtains that
drape her windows. But what sooth-
ing and glamorous sight when there
is a perfect color blend Of both.
Indeed, there should be beauty value
in a picture Of you seated in your
favorite chair doing as proSaic thing
as reading your morning newspaper.
The fact that the chair is comfortable
is not enough. Its color should nat
ter you, its general decorative scheme
should be kin to your personality.
Think of backgrounds and colorS in
your surroundings as part Of you, just
as you think Of your costume colors
and your makeup as inseparable
from you. Don't permit any clash
there.
Dramatic yourself as Jean Harlow
does Her favorite evening gowns are
black, a striking contrast against the
platinum Of her hair. But saw her
swimming one day and she wore .
white bathing suit with black skull
cap-the order reversed, but still dra.
matte.
To those who protest that few
humans can boast the glory Of Miss
Harlow's tresses. let me tell you that
there's beauty in every shade Of hair,
latent beauty which must be called
forth. And, by the way, in her next
picture Miss Harlow's hair will be
tinted titan, but the dramatic quality
will still be there, we predict.
Her hair and her figure are her
two best points Her hair Is kept light
with frequent shampooing, three times
q week, CASTLE soap and castor oil
shampoo being used. And her hsurs
is kept in trim by swimming and golf.
Sweets are taboo and her lunch Ia
simply strained vegetable soup.
Ice cubes rubbed over q filnn Of
tissue cream is the combination 10
which she accredits her clear. glow
ing skin. Her eyebrows are arched
to thin pencil line (she's the type)
and heightened with black eyebrow
pencil. Her eyeshadow and mascara
are blue. And you never see her
without her beauty spot, on her chin,
near her mouth. Because that, too, Is
dramatic, exotic in keeping with her
glamorous personality.

Great Fun
To Fashion
Own Gifts
Young Enjoy Secrecy
in Making Presents
for Elders.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

CHILDREN like to make gifts for
~ those they love. They get more
fun out of making the things them
selves than they ever get In buying
them. Christmas will be more OF
day for them If they can present the
work of their own hands.
They cannot make masterpieces.
Nobody expects them to turn out a
perfect piece of work. Don't make
them rip and do it over and over.
They will lose the Joy Of working
and along with it any desire to make
the gift First help them to select
things that they can make without
too much effort. There must be no
tears shed on Christmas gift. That
would be out of the question alto
gether.
What simple things can children
make? BookmaTks, decorated blotters,
a set of polishing tissues for granny's
spectacles, cut to size and neatly tied
in a gay cover. Little children can
make such things with direction and
help.
Those that can saw, cut, paste and
sew can make a host of pleasing
things, such as boxes, baskets of card
board and paper dolls, to decorate
tables and such things, special boxes
for sweets, to be used later for other
things. Knitting baskets are easy to
make.
Children who can knit have wide
choice. Don't let them get into the
habit of making just one thing
Specialists, who make slippers and
keep on making slippers for lifetime,
leave behind them memory that Is
not all gratitude. The thing Is to
encourage children to make their own
gifts and so make them an expression
OF personal affection.
1t is great fun to make cookies and
candies. The children ought to have
a share in that fun. Maybe they can
not do as good a job as the expert
grown-up, but they can begin. And
they are willing to do the drudgery.
They cheerfully crack and pick nuts,
stone raisins and prunes, chop when
chopping is needed, if they are re-
warded with the high position Of
Cookie Cutter to Santa Claus.
We are too likely to keep Christmas
to ourselves and crowd out the chill
dren. We are thoughtlessly selfish
about it. We will admit that the
preparations are great fun, but we
forget that the children would enjoy
that fun as much as we do If they
were allowed to share it. The prepa-
ration, the secret gifts prepared so
slyly, the doing of the little things, like
tying packages and hanging wreaths,
are the best part of the festivity. Let
the children have their little share
Of it.
Giving ourselves to each other Is
what puts the thrills into Christmas.
Giving presents is only this idea SYM
honzed. 1t would make Christmas
happier for children if they were
allowed to have more of the giving
than Is usual. They can give their
time, their labor, their cooperation
in many ways if they are given the
opportunity.
True, this sharing Of the preparation
with the children makes it harder on
the adults, if they feel that way about
1t. But couldn't we set aside some
part of the process Of preparation for
the children? There would still be
plenty for grown-ups to do and the
children might learn the true mean
ing of Christmas, which is loving
service.

these pajamas are light and the trous-
ers dark.
THEN there are slips-perfectly mar
velous for gifts-in white, tea rose
and the dark colors for dark frocks.
The Cocktail slip" is nice for pres
ent, for it has an extra lace inset in the
front of the skirt, at the hem, to match
the yoke at the top. This slip comes
in satin at So.
Some people like to wear petticoats.
and Of course they are just the thing
for a low-cut evening dress. In day
time colors we found some changeable
taffetas at 81 95 and for evening white
satin at $2.95.
THEN, while we are on the subject
Of lingerie, don't forget boudoir
slippers for another Christmas item to
jot down on your list. All the shops
are showing lots Of them, and we found
one shop with q whole row of tables
devoted to attractive and comfy slip
pers to patter around in. To make
them warm for Winter they are using
lots Of fur and soft woody materials
around the tops and over the instepS.
and when you look at them you feel
that you just must have pair to slip
into on cold mornings.
The prices of these slippers range
from $1.39 and s159 to IS in some
shops. and really it is surprising what
nice ones you can get for S1.39 in
bright velveteen with bands of soft
white woolly material across the in
step. The colors are royal blue, red
and black. These have a lowish heel
covered with the same velveteen.
Mules somewhat on the same order,
with warm, furry material around the
heels, are good, too.
Another good style that will har-
monize with any pastel color has small
flowers embroidered over its entire
surface in pale tints, Is lined with pink
satin and has the wide white, furry
band across the front. Lovely to wear
with the tailored flannel robes are
flannel mules in rose or French blue
banded in black fur tipped with white.

Body More
Than Mere
Machinery
BY JAMES BARTON, M. D.

IN THE past the living body has
often been compared to machine,
usually to @ steam engine. They are,
Of course, somewhat alike In that
both burn fuel and give OF energy
In the form Of heat and motion. How
ever, the fuel supplied q boiler never
becomes a part of the boiler; in man
the foods are absorbed into the blood.
give energy, and also form a part
of the body itself. This using up Of
the cells Of the body and building
them up again is called metabolism.
Instead of being. like machine.
the human body is fundamentally diff
ferent. 1t Is regulated from within
and Its structure is injured II the
things put into it (the diet) are too
little or too much"
For instance, an adult man or
woman, living an indoor life at the
desk, Is going to need just about one
half the quantity of food as one work
ing hard outdoors.
On the other hand, the man work.
ing outdoors will require twice as
much meat, fish or eggs, because foods
are more than simply fuels. Starch
foods-potatoes, bread, sugar-are ex-
cellent foods to give heat and energy,
which is about all the indoor man
needs. The outdoor man by using up
his body cells in work must have the
body building foods, and it is the
animal proteid foods, meats, fish and
eggs, with the proteid vegetables. peas,
beans and cereals, that best build up
worn or used cells.
In other words, all the various food
stuffs, while Of good general service,
have each their special uses In the
body, and the structure and size Of
the body and the amount Of work it
has to do, the rapid or slow action
Of some Of its glands, all have q bear
ing on the kinds and amounts Of
food that ehculd be eaten.

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. sPRowLs.

BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
A READER wants 70 knoT wnat
sorts Of persons are the most
emotional. This Is 4 question which
many think must be answered In terms
Of racial disposition. For example.
it Is often said that the French and
the Italians are more emotional than
the Scandinavians or the British. All
such comparisons are likely to lead
to error. Race has little or nothing
to do with emotional life as such.
The way to answer this question
is to consider II from the standpoint
of emotion plus intelligence. These
two capacities, relatively separate,
actually function together Ones in
sight into situations is the Key 70
emotional reaction. In other words,
intelligence is the measure Of ones
emotional reaction to any given situ-
alton. The more intelligent you are
in respect to a masterpiece OF music.
the greater will be your emotional
reaction called appreciation. The
more you know about the danger Of
q situation, the greater viii be that
emotional reaction called fear. The
longer you brood over Ontelngize) q
wrong, the greater will be your poten.
tial reaction called hate.

Exact Time
TOWait for
TardyGuest
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST-A friend feels
that I have been very rude to O
tardy guest who arrived almost an
hour late at a dinner that I gave re-
Gently in a club. I waited about a
half hour and then decided that I
could not ask the club to hold dinner
any longer, and so we sat down with
out her. Don't you think I was justi-
ned In doing this?
Answer: Yes, but more particularly
because II would have been discourte-
Gus to ask all your other friends, who
were on time, to wait for one friend
who was either thoughtlessly late or
unavoidably detained. In the latter case
she ought to have telephoned If pos
sible. Etiquette has never exacted that
q hostess wait more than IS minutes
after the time set-unless the person
who is late is the guest of honor and
an important one at that. One would
wait half an hour for the wife of the
President, the wife of the Governor or
the wife of an ambassador. But as a
matter of fact, real personages are sell
dom If ever late.
X X X
Dear Mrs. Post--Are und-bowled
spoons in good taste? I find them
very difficult to eat from. How do you
feel about them?
Answer: Round-bowl spoons belong
to a certain few early pre-seventeenth
century designs such as the Apostle
or seal-topped spoons. Except when
essential to design, ] prefer the egg
shaped bowl-much. But this Is en-
tirely a personal preference for all
things Georgia and Colonial. With
Spanish or italian or Tudor funish-
ings, my own favoite Fiddle pattern
spoon with sharply pointed bowl would
not lock half as well as one Of Less
obviously Colonial design.

" select q beautiful piece Of
lingerie for your best friends
IL Christmas gift. She will love
1t, and love you for giving it to her,
and everybody will be happy. Those
departments where the tables are piled
high with dainty pink and blue and
frothy lace are receiving an immense
amount of attention from early shop
pers and I am told that 'nighties'
are in great demand as gifts.
A special effort is always made to
bring together particularly lovely de-
signs as to cut, trimming and color
for the holiday shoppers, so you will
find long sleeves, short sleeves, no
sleeves; high necks and low necks,
dainty crepes and fowered satins all
vying for first place. with pajamas
coming in for their share Of the gift
limenght.
We have found that $3e5 is quite q
popular price for Christmas lingerie
such as the gown sketched above, with
Sc and SO following along for the more
expensive gift. The gown above in
teaFose satin with deep yoke Of ecru
lace uses a turnover collar and tiny
frog fastenings done in blue ribbon
with little rosette ends. The slashed
back and tie belt add further interest.
THE shirtmaker idea has invaded
the realm Of "so-to-bed" garments
and it is being expressed in fowered
satin gown with shirt collar, long
sleeves and regulation shirt-front
closing, used as the upper part Of a
bias-cut gown.
In pajamas you will find the tuck
in shirt top with pleated bosom, wide
trousers that have an adjustable belt.
Pale pink satin makes these especially
attractive at 81. In the lace
trimmed variety, one shop has just re-
ceived quite a number of new de-
signs at Sc and So that are really
lovely. One of these in tearose satin
has lace set into the upper portion
through the shoulders with appliques
extending onto a satin collar-band
high in front and sloping down into q
which ties in back. The over-blouse
is quite long and has little scalloped
edge. It's new and it's awfully smart
looking at $5e5.

w YHY do our families feel it
M to be their sacred duty to
" " deflate our egos? They do,
you know. Here and there
Is o household that Is mutual ad-
miration society, but they are scarce
as hens teeth. The average family
Is o steamroller that runs over all Of
its members self-esteem and fat
tens it out like q pancake.
Why this Is thus is q mystery. Per-
hapS it is a law of nature. Perhaps it
Is one of the inscrutable designs Of
Providence to keep us humble. but it
is a fact that If 1t were not for our
fathers and our mothers, and our sis
ters and our brothers, and especially
our. husbands and wives, we would
never know what Npoor, miserable
worms of the dust we are. 1t is they
who keep US, reminded Of our limita-
tions, and who heave q brickbat at
any little conceit that dares perk up
and lift its head.
No doubt this Is good for our souls.
It keeps us from becoming puffed up
with sel-importance and prevents us
from thinking more highly of our
selves than we should do. But II
causes one to wonder why it should be
the task Of those who are nearest and
dearest to us to perform the painful
operation Of reducing our swelled
heads not only to normal, but shrink
ing them to the size Of pigmies.
EOR our families love us despite our
being the imperfect creatures they
clearly perceive us to be, and when
they keep our faults ever before Us
they are not actuated by malice
They do 1t for our own good, as they
impress upon us, and in order that
we may not be misled by the fulsome
.nattery Of outsiders who find some
thing in us to admire.
Parents, in particular, feel that
they must destroy every particle Of
child's self-confidence, root and
branch, by forever reminding 1t Of 1t,
defects. II q little girl Is homely
mother tells her that she can't weal
the pretty fluffy things some other
little girl does, or remarks to strangers
that Sally has the Brown nose Of
the Smith mouth, which the child
knows are considered little less thar
deformities in the family. If little
boy Is slow In learning, father calls
him 0 fol and berates him for dumb
ness. II children are awkward, they
never hear the last about their clumsi-
ness.
It Is only brothers and sisters WHIT
are cruel enough to tell each othel
home truths about their lack o.
pulchritude and attraction. 1t is only
q husband who tells .his wife that she
Is getting fat and middle-aged, and
that her new hat Is 10 years toe
young for her. And it Is only wife
who interrupts her husband in the
midst of his pet story at which every
one else Is laughing to exclaim: For
goodness sake, are you going to tel
that old thing over again? It Is such
an old chestnut 1t is moldy and has
worms in it.
