BORDER BRIEFS

Despite the severity Of the
weather a very appreciate congre-
cation worshipped with US Sunday
morning. Treating the theme: "The
Hope of a Race" Rev. D. P. Young,
pastor, delivered a highly instruc-
tive and stimulating sermon deal
ing with the present conditions of
the American Negro and his future
outlook as an integral part of the
American citizenry. The message
maintained the high standard set
by the pastor upon his arrival.
Through the effort of members
of the choir, assisted by members
and friends of the Church, the
choir was able to make it's debut
in its new vestment last Sunday.
Their appearance was dgnifed, yet
unobtrusive, and their new robes
seemed to have added a new zest
and sweetness to their ministry of
song. However, the deep snow and
severe cold caused the postpone
ment of their engagement with the
Excelsior M. E. Church to Sunday
evening, Feb. 16.
Although many of our members
are suffering from colds, etc., we
are gratified that our sick list has
been reduced to that of Mrs. Hattie
Drye and little Charlotte Napue,
both of whom are still at the Cen
eral Hospital. We thank God that
both seem well on the road to re-
eovery.
Sunday, Feb. %, Rev. H. w.
Bolts and choir will worship with
as at three in the afternoon. He
will preach and his choir will sing.
The general public is cordially in
vited to be present.

BETHESDA BAPTIST

Preaching twice from the same
text last Sunday, our pastor, Rev.
w. E. Warrington, interested two
audiences which, in spite of cold
weather, came out to Bethesda
The text read: "Blessed are they
who are hungered for they shall be
satisfied" In the evening message
the pastor discussed three phases
of hunger; the inquisitiYe, that
which influences one to make in
quiries; the acquisitive, inducing
one to get the object of his curl
osity and the constructive which
seeks to work into his scheme of
existence the thing when found.
The message, though brief, was
pointed, powerful, and interesting.
Indeed its very brevity brought out
most strikingly the earnestness
that motivates this speaker and
enables his message to take root
in minds not weary with a toe
lengthy tome.
The Gospel chorus served cocoa
and cakes and was host in an en-
joyable social hour following the

Dorothy Dix Says
Those Who Defy Conventions Are Bound
to Paw in the Long Run.

They listen with sympathy to what
ever you tell them of your private
affairs, but they never pry into them
and ask embarrassing questions.
Hence you are never led into telling
them things you will hate them later
for knowing. They are never backdoor
neighbors who pop in at inopportune
times and who spy upon every detail
of your family life, and who bore you
to tears with their incessant visiting.
They never consider that they have
right to pick out your friends for
you and to make you join their own
clubs and patroni2e their doctor and
dentist, and 60 to their church.
When you invite them to a party
you know that they viii come suitably
dressed. and that they will make
themselves agreeable to the other
guests and try to make the occasion a
success. If you write them a letter
they will answer it. If you send them
a present, they will acknowledge it.
If you are sick they will send you
flowers or a book, or come to see you.
But the unconventional know no
such fine reserves. They make your
house a free hotel and drop in ON you
without warning. when the children
are down with the measles and the
cook has left and you are ready to die
Of exhaustion. They borrow your
automobile and bring it back wreck.
They never return book.
They ruin your pretty dinner BY
coming in overalls and getting into a
hot dispute with your guest of honor'
They never write letters of thanks
and after they have enjoyed your hos
pitality for weeks the only way you
know that they have got home safely
is because you haven't read OF any
railroad wrecks in the newspapers.
Somebody has said that convention
is the accumulated good taste OF the
best people of all ages. That's true.
Would that they were more OF It,
Especially among the young.

For Sluggish,
DullSkins
Mosques and Facials
Encourage Needed
Circulation.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

A DULL, sluggish, cloudy skin is a
"a sad sight, indeed, these days. AS
an artist once said to me. Most wom-
en- regard gray hair as catastrophe.
The fact is that gray skin is far more
telling and aging than gray hair"
And after a season indoors there
Is small wonder that the skin loses
some of its radiant, healthy quality.
What it needs is a good supply OF
fresh air, sunshine, water in and out
and other sane hygienic rules. You
can't 60 wrong if you start your cor
rective work from within.
That done, the first essential is
cleansing the skin very, very thor
oughly. And the second step is giving
1t the much needed stimulation. Pat
ting with skin tonic win help, but If
the skin is accustomed to this mild
form of stimulation give it something
more potent.
There are many circulation creams
and lotions on the market. Most OF
them have bleaching qualities as well.
Some of these, however, are very
strong and sensitive skin may find
them irritating. Therefore care should
be taken to apply such preparation
according to direction.
The happy medium between the
mild stimulation of the tonic patting
and the very strong circulation
cream or lotion application seems to
be the masque. MaSques have always
played an important part as beau
tiflers and skin CHARTERS. But they
have gained popularity in the last few
years.
There are innumerable prepara-
tions on the market to be used as
masques, such as strawberry creams,
clay packs. some creams and specially
prepared powders to be mixed with
the white of an egg. Most masques
are to be applied to the skin after
cleansing, allowed to remain for If
teen minutes to half hour until they
harden and then washed of with
tepid water. Some preparations, how
ever, that have the same Stimulat-
ing and clarifying properties as
rr1asqueS do not harden, but do bring
the blood to the surface and cause a
tingling sensation. There are others
which act as pickup treatments, re-
freshing complexion and routing IA
tigue in five precious minutes.
Still more. There are masqueS
you can make by concocting your
own right of the kitchen shelf. Veg
etable juices that can be used as
bleaches; meals that clear and re-
fine the skin, and the famous egg
facial, which ever so many movie
stars favor, is. one every woman can
indulge in.
If your skin is at all cloudy or
not as clear and fine as it should be,
give yourself stimulating treatment.
Try a rnaSque.

~ONT1NU1NG the story OF
Spring brides, which was
started yesterday, we will tell
~ you about the charming pos
sibilities of the more classical white
satin which may or may not be
expensive With its lustrous texture
shimmering through a cloud of tulle
and much attention directed toward
the shower bouquet which she carries,
the brides chief thought in making
her selection is to look for becoming
neckline that will enhance the beauty
of her face and throat.
Here she will find a great variety.
for we have seen high and low draped
cowls, high boat neckS, v necks and
pleated frills. Some of the most effec-
tive satin gowns are quite depending
on expert cut and scanning to make
them fit perfectly, and then allowing
the veil and flowers to complete the
picture. Above is shoYn such frock
with high-waisted tunic top which
ties at the back and forms a divided
train. gown similar to this has a
high cowl neck and unbroken skirt
line. A corded Eton collar on a
redingote frock that buttons closely
from neck to waist Is very youthful.

THE satin bride is almost unlimited
as to bridesmaid frocks. Pastel
mousseline, net, taffeta, lace are all
suitable. The shop that shows the
Eton collar satin gown has a lovely
lace model that comes in a number
of colors with choir boy jacket and
collar, velvet ribbon in contrast color
being used for a bow at the neck
and for belt. This makes charm
ing Summer dance frock afterward
1t is inexpensive, too.
A bridesmaids frock that is the
very essence of Springtime is OF
chartreuse moussehne with square
neck back and front, full puff sleeves
with a garland of small flowers in
pink. violet and fuchsia tucked into
the folds, a full skirt and a velvet
sash in the new color called Maywine,
a fuchsia shade. The maid Of honor
might choose her frock in Maywine
mousseline.
Light blue taffeta with large puff
sleeves and a bouffant skirt gives
the keynote for the blue and pink

Spring Suits.

Suits, ranging all the way from
mannish tailleure to ensembles COM
bining slim frock with short
sWagger coat or cape, will be in high
favor with smart women on Easter
morning. Touched with colorful ac-
cessories, they will be the essence
Of chic.
One smart New Yorker plans to
wear a black wool frock and match
ing short coat with sulphur yellow
suede gloves and belt having a
sheaf of sunlight tulips thrust into
one side. Another will accent her
navy tailleur with cornf1ower bou-
tonniere and blouse.
The smartest long coats will be
simple and plain-designed without a
touch of fur. Close-fltting, mannish
Chesterfelds and trim redingotes
promise to be favorites.
Under them will be worn wide
variety Of frocks. Some of the new
est are dark crepes or woods having a
bright high neckline band and swath
belt to match a swishing petticoat.
Others are chic prints-colored ami
mails or flowers printed on a dark
ground.

~ NE of the things that young
people of today are most
! rabid about is the conven-
~ tions of society. The most
damning criticism that they can make
of any one is to say that he or she is
conventional. They never feel so su-
perior as when they are breaking con-
ventions The secret desire Of their
souls is to go of to some place where
they can lead an unconventional life.
They ignore the fact that conven-
tions are the bulwark of civilization
and that they alone make 1t possible
for people to live together in peace
and harmony in an overcroWded
world. Conventions are the unwrit-
ten law about what can be done and
the things that are not done, and are
far more potent in restraining the
evil passions of mankind than any
edict ever issued by a court.
No doubt conventions do cramp the
style of those who are too lazy to keep
themselves clean and who go about
unshaven and unshorn in soiled linen
and grease-spotted clothes, who pre-
fer to sponge on others rather than
to work, and who consider that they
have q perfect right to make whoopee
and wake UP a whole neighborhood
when they come rolling in with the
milkman in the morning.
THEY are contemptuous Of the
young man who is particular
about his personal appearance, who is
punctilious in his manners and who
religiously conforms to the canons of
good society. But If you will notice
you will see that, nine times out Of
ten, it is the conventional youth who
gets to the top Of the ladder, while
the unconventional one stays at the
bottom. It takes genius of the first
order to offset unconventionality.
A lot Of girls are misguided enough
to think that it makes them distinc-
tive and alluring, somehow, to pose as
being unconventional. They wear
sloppy clothes and 60 in for shorts
and nakedness generally. They get
drunk, smoke ike chimneys, tell off,
colored stores and frequent the most
disreputable places to which they can
possibly 90. But 1t gets them nothing
but bedraggled regulations and being
dropped by worthwhile people.
In everyday life there are no people
II - lix,o
conventional people and none are such
pests as the unconventional. The
only friends In whom you can take
any real satisfaction are those on
whom you can rely always to do the
proper thing on the proper occasion.

n VOW that Spring is definitely
N here, why not make the reso-
VI luton to 60 to market at least
/ once a week? With the half a
dozen or so markets located at stra-
tegic points throughout the city, 1t
should be possible for every housewife
to visit one of them in her particular
neighborhood regularly.
Time was when the good house
keeper only made her purchases per-
sorally. and though she can and does
today do the major portion Of her
marketing by phone to her complete
satisfaction, it is good plan to make
personal visits occasionally, and, il
possible, do more personal buying. BY
visiting the stores and markets per-
sonally two things are accomplished
the food repertoire is kept up to season
as we'll as up to date, for many new
foods appear constantly, and unless
one goes where they are sold, just as
one goes to the department stores Lc
see new fabrics and so forth, one does
not know they exist-the homemaxe1
sees, personally, the grocer, the fruit
and vegetable man and the butcher
This brings friendly relation, and
consequently the purchasing is done tG
better advantage.

IT IS good plan to shop on Friday

Purchase all the staples for the week

bles, choose those that are Of smooth
skin and even shape; medium sizec
ones cook more quickly than those
that are larger. Select green vegetables
that are fresh and crisp looking
Don't buy those that contain so much
waste that they will prove to be more
expensive. after all.
