 The old rule-4to be well-p0wder- ed at ali--is especially hard to stick to in the summertime. In winter, your complexion is Q light, creamy shade, it's easy enough to choose a face powder which blends perfectly with your skin tones, leaving no harsh edges and no spots that look coated.
 One bright sunshine makes your face and neck yellowish, then beige and finally brown, you have to be particularly careful.
 Nothing is worse than light rachel over 8 suntanned skin. Un- less, of course, 1t is dark suntan powder over a complexion that hasn't tanned enough to warrant it. You never should use powder t0 take the place of a coat of tan. Winter or summer, face powder must match your skin tones. This is the time of year to buy one box of really good dark sun tan powder. When you notice that your regular supply no longer matches your skin, mix a bit of it with the darker shade until you have combination which does. As you get darker, add more suntan powder to the mixture.
 You must be careful about ap- plication, too. Dark powders are more apt to show streaks and lines. Use large piece of clean cotton, press the powder against your skin, l lot it set and, finally, dust it off with the reverse side of the cotton.
 Fill your compace with the same powder you use at home. Keep q bit of clean cotton in this, too. IT | 1t won't close with cotton in it, get little powder puffs that are wash able and use fresh one each day.

Paris - (U.P.) - Robert Pi- guet can always be relied upon to offer something different and dis tinguished. His Demi Saison col lection, composed chiefly of beauti- full evening gowns and beach clothes, shows several interesting new features.
 In formal evening gowns, Rob- ert Piguet does away completely with back shoulder straps. His cre- ations are high in front with a small strap which circles the neck, leaving the back and shoulders completely bare.
 He, has made use of the applica- ton of frothy black lace as a trim ming on heavier materials. One of his models is an evening gown in a clear light green taffeta with bands of the black lace on the corsage and skirt. Another of white organdy with the black lace appliqued makes an evening gown which combines both youthful ness and capitalization.
 Beach ensembles are made in interesting weaves of linen in bright sumnaery colors. The dresses are backless. high at the neck in front and fasten at the nape of the neck in Q slender strap. An ac- companying jacket turns the beach dress into an outfit for any sort of informal daytime occasion.
 He shows some interesting materials. A black chiffon, is nrinted in dahliaS of orange. yellow and cream. Another black chiffon has appliqued printed flowers scattered on 1t. A waffied pique makes collars and cuffs and dotted organdy is generously used.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY TENTREss

Limited Press Stan Correspondent Paris (UP)-It looks as though hats can be worn most any way this summerrbig or little, off-the- face or with a turndown brim, high thimble crown or one so shall ! low as to bea lmost non-existent. Materials range from straw weaves of every sort to felts and velvets, and never before has a season shown such variety and generosity in choice.
 Schiapareli favors the little bis cult hat. a round little disc of
 straw which is set jauntiiy on the right sidc of the head and held
 there by a band that ties at the back of the neck or under the chin. A detachable slender stem is stuck perkily in the hair, not the hat. Because of the long stem. the flower or feather remains at an impudent angle about five inches from the hat itself. Here, too, Is seen a modification of the .beret which pulls forward over the right eve and has small, wavy brlm just in back.
 Lanvin shows toque for after noon wear made entirely of small white flowers whose petals are tinged in pale pink. A large bow of black cire ribbon trims the
 back of the shallow toque.
 Helm promotes a broad-brimmed brown velvet for festive summer
 occasions. The small crown is hardly more than an inch or so high and the brim perhaps eight inches wide. It dips to the front and to the back where it is trim med with two simple white flowers. Black organdie braid makes a Suzanne Talbot sailor with a small. narrow brim. The front is trimmed with a spray of uncurled ostrich feathers in bright turquoise blue.

 Many parents are distressed when report cards are marked 'conditiOnedr in one subject or an- other.
 This means the work must be gone over and a test passed in the fan in order to clear the slate for promotion. often it requires tu- toring if the student is in the higher grades of high school or college. If some one at home can coach him, that's ali to the good.
 somehow or other we have ab- sorbed the idea that to be coached or have private help. is something to be. done sub rosa--at least nothing to brag about. "Too dumb to get through on his own"---or her own--is our way of clubbing the unfortunate. All of which shows how dumb we are ourselves for thinking so.
 Actually, a custom is taking root in America that has been used by the oldest universities for centuries - the tutor system. Along with lectures the scholar has his private instructor; or a tutor coaches a small group.
 Learning Is Chief Purpose
 There is no disgrace or demerit attached to jS. On the contrary, the main idea is to learn at all costs. As so much of higher learn ing is interpretive and needs ex- pounding and discussion out of the classroom, 1t seems sensible to get all there is to it, have knotty problems explained and the con- fusing twists of language unfold ed.
 There never has been any par ticular virtue in studying alone. Naturally, the student must make individual effort, but the "help" system is merely a matter of CO., operation and giving as good as you get.
 I know young man who took an engineering course in an east ern institute. It was hard course. He wasn't cut out for it and had pleaded with his parents to be permitted to go in for science.
 His rather was cola 10 the i0ea. Engineering it had to be. Denied Group Aid
 The university had begun to en- courage group study, either with or without leader. It seems that one part of this work was almost impossible to get, for most of the students at least, individually. But this boys father was horri- fled at the idea. No, sir! His son was not to collaborate with any, one or anyone with him, to have a tutor or anything else. Why 1t was as good as cheating, he de- clared.
 So Bill failed in his junior year after being conditioned as soph- omore, and now he is selling hard | ware.
 It al depends on the course and the willingness of the college to permit supplementary instruction. There is little question that the idea is spreading. Tn a way it will have to be handled carefully for many of our happy young folk just love to let George do it. 1t is the earnest scholar who de- serves and so often needs help, who may be saved.

I. This is an extremely important question in the psychology of sex behavior but no study worth much has been made. Your opinion is. therefore. as good as mine. rather think 1t is about fifty-fifty but that the chivalry of men leads them to give the woman in the case the chance to say "he" was the one who was given the air."

WORD FROM THE MAN BE.
 HIND THE GUN

What seems to annoy. some of the big bozos in the medical pro- fession is the wretched habit I have of making sure I am right be- fore I go radical.
 I quote from letter written by the editor of the New York State Journal of Medicine (offlcial organ of the N. Y. State Medical Society who had offered to submit an arr ticle for the Journal:
 My dear Dr. ..........
 We have your letter ..........
 We are always interested in med ical articles describing actual ex- periences.
 In view of pr. Brady's articles (syndicated in the daily newspa- pers), we will not be inclined to accept any article on the injection treatment of hernia ........
 Yours sincerely,
 ..i. .a.. .............
 Executive Editor.
 That shows the calibre of the big bozos in American medicine to-day. And the funny part of it is that every one of them, if he could wangie it, would be syndicating his stun in the daily newspapers.
 The history of medicine in this country in the past twenty years Is revue of all medical history. As I have advocated the chemical ob- liberation of varicose veins. the diathermy extirpation of tonsils, the ambnlant treatment of hernia, and the injection treatment of hemorrhoids, in that order, the big bozos of the profession have first pooh- -phoed, then condemned and finally adopted the new methods, but they keep on sneering and snariing at me every chance they get.
 Formerly I enjoyed the cordial CO., operation of the national med ical organization. and endeavored to reciprocate in various ways. Then suddenly an executive Of the organization began to syndicate his articles to the daily newspapers, and with his other hand shut off

 MY DEAR MISS VAIL: I've been going with fellow for seven years. We go places, and we get along perfectly. love him very much and he says he fells the same toward me, but in all this time, he has not as yet probosed marriage to mo.
 see such happiness among married couples of our acquafn- tancc, I feel discontcnted. What would you advise? Signed Marion H.
 MY DEAR MISS MARION H.: It is almost unthinkable in this modern day and age that we hear of girl SO trusting and patient as you seem to have been. Any man who is really in love, to the point os proposing marriage, will not wait years to express himself. The average man is impetuous when in love, and if you do not rouse that desire in him to possess you, there is very slight chance that dragging on through years of pa- tient waiting will ever bring him 70 the point of proposing. As a rule, woman's intuition and natur- al coquetry, prompts her to go out with somebody else, for a change; Ii. that way rousing jealousy. For in love, as in everything else, competition is the life of trade.
 So, my advice is Marion, wait no longer, unless you are satisfied with a platonic friendship. En- courage other men if you have the opportunity, and in this way, you may bring your slow lover to his senses, though I have my doubts. Don't wait too long. gather the rose -bdus of love while you may while we're knee-deep in June. VITA VAIL.

back into your hand to make the good queen of hearts. But the hand does develop a rather inter- esting squeeze play.
 The Play
 Declarer naturally ruffs the opening lead of the king of spades. He leads a small heart to dummy's ace; East's jack drops, warning declarer that he is out of hearts. The queen of clubs is played, East covers with the king, and declarer wins with the ace.
 Now three rounds of diamonds are taken and a diamond ruffed. Declarer is able to take another club finesse, which allows him to pick up the trump.
 This leaves dcclarer with the sueen-six of hearts and the four of diamonds, West has the nee of spades and the ten-1iine of hearts, and dummy har the queen-seven of spades and the king of hearts.
 The four of diamonds is played snd West is squeezed. He has to throw the nine of hearts, 90 declarer discards fhe kiuE cf i.earts from dummy and wins tho lust two tricks with the queen end six in his hand. Copyright, 1ea5, NEA servicss Inc.

setting. I recall: Watching the sun sink in the west, as I rode in the cupola of a mile-long freight train, winding it's way through the Rockies, the song of the lark at break, in Victor Col. ten thou sand feet above sea-level. Yet, it was a rose, yellow rose by the wayside which has fingered in my thoughts, forming the symbol, of my theme today.
 yerdure in Colorado is somewhat stunted, therefore, attracted my fancy. in certain sections, to see roses growing at will, in the crew ices of the mountain sides, along the way, everywhere, roses; mostly lemon n-colored. Driving through could hardly wait to get to them, but my disappointment was lndeeo keen, as buried my face in their cupy petals, to find that they lack ed fragrance. Roses without their delightful scent, have always typi- fled to me what life would be with out romance. A beautiful woman without sentiment. All too often we confuse romance with sex. True, romance is the roseate ideality, be- guiling us, by its magnetism, to the reality of sex.
 But romance is found in every walk of life; in the city pavements, if success is the goal, and ambi- ton the motivating force. Much of the discontent of married wo- men, finding the ordinary hum- drum of domestic life monotonous, would be dispelled, if they would seriously take inventory of their stock of hidden talent, and cul- tivated it. No matter how in- definite, we all have a talent. The pleasure and satisfaction derived from the development of a talent, would satisfy the secret longing to express oneself, and thereby prove
