Glasses and
Influence on
Beauty Aids
When Skin Is Loaded
With Many Things
Which Blemish.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

r B. S.: Can you use mascara with
glasses? Yes, but use it spar
ingly, and be sure to coax the lashes
to curl up. How to dress the hair?
Neither too fussy nor too severe. A
softness around the face, soft fullness
at the sides over the ears but the
hair swept off the forehead and
cheeks usually make becoming hair
style. Makeup Is particularly impor-
tant. I have an entire bulletin de-
voted to beauty hints for those who
wear glasses. Why not send self
addressed. stamped (3-cent) envelope
and repeat your request.
Jane P. c.: You seem to have tried
so many things and perhaps over
loaded your skin. Dermatologists feel
that the less foreign matter used on
the acne-blemished skin the better.
An antiseptic soap and water, or the
use of good complexion brush with
a bland soap and water is recon-
mended Be careful to work on a small
area at time so as not to spread the
infection. Antiseptic drying lotions are
highly recommended. In addition re-
member that you must be careful Of
your diet, drink plenty Of water, exer-
else, rest, etc. I wish you would send
for my balanced diet and health rules
bulletins.
Small Eyes: To make the eyes seem
larger, avoid using so much eye
shadow. Strange as it may seem a
lot of eye makeup will only call
attention to the fact that your eyes
are so small. If you do use shadow
blend it only over the bulgy part of
the lid. If you use mascara don't
carry it over the entire lash but only
the very tips and apply very lightly.
In thinning the eyebrows don't tweeze
from beneath or arch above the brows,
but keep them in q straight line. If
your mouth Is a good shape accent
the lips instead of the eyes.

Mother: Tincture Of aloes used to
be suggested to break young ones OF
the nail-biting habit. Now there's
preparation to paint on, listed as safe
to use by the American Medical AS
sociation. Because of its unpleasant
taste it discourages would-be nib
blers. However, have it from many
beauty salons through the country
that a manicure is just about the
best way to break little girl of the
nail-biting habit. Take her to a
beauty parlor, have her nails filed in
q slight oval with an emory board,
her cuticle pushed back with oil and
then a little dry polish applied and
buffed in. Appeal to her sense OF
pride. Once her nails look lovely.
keep calling her attention to their
improved appearance.

disaster and tears. First paint thin
coat of white shellac over the entire
surface Of the decalcomania design.
When this has dried slightly. press
the decalcomania face down on the
surface to which it is to be applied.
Press it on the back until 1t Is en-
tirely smooth and then leave 1t for
about 80 minutes. Then take clean,
wet rag and mop it with water until
the paper lifts of cleanly. leaving the
design firmly settled on the new sur
face. When perfectly dry, cover the
design with two coats Of shellac,
which will protect it, keep 1t shiny
and make it washable.
Useful breakfast mats may be made
from oil cloth Of any light, pretty
color and decorated with these de-
calcomaniaS. Tin cracker boxes may
be repainted, a decalcomania design
applied, and a successful cookie box
or small waste basket emerge trl-
umphant. OF course, the paint must
be smoothly flowed on and allowed
to dry thoroughly before the design
is added. inexpensive paper or
parchment lampshades may be pur-
chased and decorated by the child,
either with decalcomania or some
pretty picture, pasted on and then
shellacked.
A TIN TRAY, bought for few
cents, may be embellished by a
coat of paint. a gayly colored picture
or map cut to fit, and final brush
ing of shellac. The tin cigarette
boxes that hold so or 100 cigarettes
lend themselves to all sorts of decora-
ton in colors to match fathers room
or to carry out the college hues Of
big brother.
For mother or for big sister boudoir
boxes, made from old candy boxes,
and decorated with bits Of wall paper,
or glazed chintz will prove most well
come. Plain tin waste baskets may
be made dainty and attractive by
the addition of little paint. and
well-chosen print or silhouette.
Tie-backs for window curtains are
easy for children to make when
braided out of gayly colored cotton,
with two plump tassels as finishing
touch. Window-shade pulls may also
be constructed out of braided cotton,
ending in a large bead of matching
or contrasting color.
A ND, of course, there are always
calendars to be stuck onto hand
printed cards, bearing appropriate
sentiments in verse, if one of the
juvenile members of your family has
talent in that direction!
The child will be delighted with
suggestions, and a few directions to
get him started. He will be glad to
see his money stretch farther than he
expected, and he will get JOY out of
the actual creative effort which he
must make. The finished product, no
matter how lumpy, uneven, or blurred,
will seem to him a thing of far greater
beauty than any bit Of perfection he
could purchase in a store

Work Is Felt
By Students
Should Be Worthy of
Time, Money, Effort
Given.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

e" oME, come, Henry. Get to work
The period Is half over and you
haven't anything done"
II don't want to make such a fool
ishness," said Henry, stubbornly
planting his elbows on the desk and
supporting his chin on his fist.
Don't talk to me like that. You
have to do your work, so the sooner
you begin the better"
"You call making q model OF
paper box that won't be any good
anyhow a piece of work? Say, can
make real boxes. don't have to make
foolishness."
You can go and tell the principal
that"
Sure, I'll tell him"
Henry was one of the boys who had
working papers and job while back.
He lost his job and the law forced him
back to school. The manual training
lesson he objected to called for the
making Of a working drawing and
model Of a 1-inch cube. His tools
were ruler, compass, lead pencil
and eraser. His material was a piece
Of oak tag, semi-stiff glazed paper
used for making models and another
sheet Of drawing paper. Henry had
been using machines and turning out
a manufactured product for the mar
ket. This sort of work seemed utterly
foolish to him. And for him it was.
For many other children it would be.
Children need real work just as
grown-up people do. They want to
make things than can be used in
actual service. They want to work
on things that are to be used. They
want to cook and eat the result
They want to sew and wear or put
to use what they have made. They
want to make chairs and tables they
can take home and use. If they
make kite they want to fly it; a
boat, they want to sail 1t. They want
real work. not theoretical schemes
for work.
I believe many teachers give les
sons and exercises merely because
they are set in the course of study
and programmed in the daily routine.
The exercises bear no relation to any,
thing the child has in mind, make
no connection with any other lesson.
The teacher gives the exercise at the
scheduled time in the prescribed man.
ner precisely as a nurse would give
medicine on time, trusting to the
wisdom of the superior in charge and
accepting no responsibility whatever
for the work or its effect on the pupil.
The teacher is not to blame for this
1t is the mandate of the supervisor.
But how could a supervisor know what
lessons were to be needed for Henry?
He could not know, and there is the
answer to many a failure in the
schools today.
/ There must be a course of study,
a program, and careful supervision
Order is the first law of life. But
the idea that the teacher on the spot
is to interpret that course in relation
to the pupils as individuals must also
be regarded. All children must have
work that is actual, honest and worthy
of the time, money and effort put
on it. And the work must be stimu-
lating, creative, driving to newer and
better forms Of expression.

IF YOU see a smart little girl, pig
tails flying, dashing about on a
shiny bike" or coming out of
school with a load of books under
her arm, she is very apt to have a
pleated skirt and blouse on her Wig
orous little body. 1t has been so for
many generations, and this classic
sort of costume for the schoolgirl still
persists. 1t is becoming to youthful
figures, in perfect taste. and what's
more is very comfortable, and that Is
important when you have as many
things to do as the girl of 10 has to
accomplish in the span of a single
day.
Pleated skirts have made a decided
comeback in the adult world, as well
as in the realm Of the growing child.
This one is side pleated SO that there
Is o wide box pleat in back and front.
The blouse slips over the head, a slit
in front allowing that convenience,
and has q turned-down collar, tied at
the throat. It Is gathered into o
waistband, which goes over the skirt,

by the way. could also be used in the
apartment bed room.
THE wall shelves are made Of mir
rored Stats and add a dainty
touch-they are useful, too. They
may accommodate three small toilet
bottles and a small sachet box. or any
other item that may be needed at the
vanity table ensemble. 1t is always
nice to have a lamp handy so that
makeup may be applied with complete
assurance. A small electrically-li lighted
makeup mirror could be used with
this particular table if one would
choose to have a mirror instead OF
wall shelves. The silver and black
toilet bottles are perfect with this
group-they give a striking, sophisti-
Gated effect and aside from being at
tractive are very serviceable.
THE floor towel rack is a joy-it
provides rung for the bath mat
towels and face cloths and guest tow
els. There could never be, as every
woman well knows, too many towel
racks in q bath room. When wall
racks are limited, as they sometimes
are in apartment baths. these floor
racks offer a happy solution. Shower
curtains may be gay or very formal
-rubberized chintz or plain-colored
MORE with huge monogram. When
they have q cunning design as the
one shown. they very often add Just
The right touch to make the other bath
accessories more interesting.
The step-up arrangement Of the
dressing table nook, by the way, is
not altogether an innovation in blue
prints. It is seen very often abroad
and We think it quite clever. A small
bath room could be made to look al
most twice as large by having such q
Dlatforno
Evening star., 1935-11-02

space thrown together-or, better still,
a wide doorway could be cut and
separate little dressing room or alcove
made Of the closet. The only dis
advantage Of the latter might be the
lighting problem. II the bath room
happens to be a very light one. then
perhaps sufficient light would be re-
fected into the new dressing room;
on the other hand, If the bath is
poorly lighted the removing of the
entire wall would be the best plan.
OF course, indirect lighting could be
used-it would prove to be very smart
as well as efhcient.
II, however, you are not in the
mood Of tearing down walls or cut
ting doorways, don't give up the
idea Of having an attractive dressing
table nook-very often there is space
at the extreme end Of the room that
could be made attractive by the addi-
ton OF O dressing table or cabinet
Either Of these can be had in all
sizes. Some Of them are even tri-
angular and would fit into q corner.
Many OF these bath room pieces are
built purely for decorative appeal,
but the one pictured on this page
is a piece that has a real purpose
in life" 1t Is three-in-one table
dressing table, cabinet and clothes
hamper. The rounded corners are
very smart and allow for a little
more space in the room. At the
sides it has cleverly built-in shelves
which are hidden by swinging door
the hamper is in the center and is
pulled out like an old-fashioned -four
bin. 1t Is black in hue, but We under
stand that it can be had in colors
to harmonic or contrast with any par
ticular color scheme. The chromium
tubing chair is one that blends very
we'll with the table and carries out
the smart modern note. This set,

~ ATH rooms these days claim as
K much attention as does any
- other room in the house, and
the discriminating woman is
just as interested in the new bath
room fixtures, accessories and furnish
ings as she is in the modern trend of
furniture and color schemes in other
parts of the house; she keeps con-
sistently in step with them all.
Modern fixtures, of course, play the
most important role in the up-to-date
bath room, and since improved plumb
ing always tends to enhance the value
of a home, 1t would not seem foolish
to invest" in perfectly modern bath
rooms throughout the house. Towel
manufacturers have contributed to
the evolution Of the bath room by
making up their wares in stunning
colors and weaves, striking designs
and monograms-and a complete en-
semble-towels, mats, wash cloths,
shower curtains and window curtains
will do marvels in even the old-fash-
ioned baths. They can be had at such
a small expenditure!
ONE of the newest ideas in the
modern bath room is to have
dressing table alcove, where makeup
materials may be kept and where
milady may powder and fuss about
to her hearts content without making
her boudoir look as though a cyclone
had struck it! 1t is surely a prac-
tical idea-one that could easily be
introduced into almost any bath room
that happens to have . few feet of
extra space. Or, If rarely used
closet happens to adjoin the room,
the wall could be torn out and the

Of your wife's conduct in her age. She

she wants to be a girl again. Hence
she is aping youthful ways. And she
wants little romance again, q few

Is making eyes at the men.

NEAR MISS DIX: I see that the
BARRIERS are urging men to use
cosmetics. They say that if the ap-
pearance Of the average woman Is
enhanced 100 per cent by the use Of
cosmetics, why should not men use
them to improve their looks? What
do you think? A. B. K.
We have a different standard for
masculine and feminine beauty and
cannot think that many of us
would be enraptured with the beauty
of painted-up man. However, our
tastes may change and the change
may be on the way. Certainly every.
where We see men with permanent
waves that they were not born with.
And many observers note many more
toupees than one used to see. which
Is all to the good because bald heads
are nothing to write home about, and
there is no more reason why a man
shouldn't cover up such blemish
than a woman should.
However, for long time to come
probably a clean shave will remain .
mans greatest and most successful
effort to beautify himself.

My wife and I have lived together
understandingly and in comparative
happiness and contentment until
about year ago, when a change In
her attitude became apparent. With
out any reason whatever, she became
cold and unresponsive to me and
seemed to lose all interest In me.

A BEWILDERED HUSBAND.
AnsWer-There is nothing the mat
ter with your wife but her age. The
40s are the age of indiscretion for
women as well as men. 1t is then
that men and women who have been
sane and well poised heretofore sud-
denly seem to take leave of their
senses and do mad things that they
spend the balance of their lives re-
penting. 1t is then that more homes
are wrecked, more scandals precipi-
tated, more hearts broken than at
any other period during life.
With the 40s come the inevitable
realization that youth is almost over,
that age is almost upon them. Soon
their good looks and their physical
attractivenesS will be gone. There
will be no more love adventures for
them. No more stolen kisses. No
more thrills. Finis Is about to be
