Beauty Brevities
by MARTHA LEAVITT

Before going in bathing, wind piece Of
natural yellow chamois around your hair,
under your bathing cap. Virginia Bruce al
ways does and knows that cts sure guaran-
tee for keeping the hair dry
If you like driving and are planning long
motor trip, with hours behind the wheel,
Frances Mccoy suggests pair of gloves
softened with almond oil. The oil keeps the
fingers and palms smooth and lessons the
possibility of soiled hands.
Margaret Sullivan has borrowed the idea
for novel sun hat from the Chinese peasant.
It's split bamboo ''lamp shade" effect -
Eight to wear and yet the perfect sun-pro-
lection" Between the layers of bamboo are
laid cut-outs of cretonne in floral design.
Wide strings of the same material tie the hat
under her chin And cluster of lacquered
blossoms, perched on top, give pert note
when she steps out to greet the morning
sunshine.

-HEsE are out-ofdoor days! But while
you're being energetic about swimming,
golf and tennis, or merely lazily basking
in the summer sun, see to it that you've
taken few precauto ons against encouraging
in any way that fatal "weather-beaten" look.
Barbara Stanwyck advocates colored glasses
"the minute you step from your threshold"
She adds that those with bright colored rims,
to match various gay sports costumes, are
Aattering as we'll as protective. Besides, it's
not smart to squint - to say nothing as to
how you look during the process or the tragic
resultant frown-lines and tiny wrinkles!
For gol6ng, in case the heavens look menac-
ing when you're far from the nineteenth
hole, katherine Hepburn has discovered
little oiled silk jacket that's also hooded to
protect the hair. The jacket easily folds into
small case and can be slipped into the golf
bag. Here's the solution for that sudden
summer shower!

mot much. We never did. Talking

Catherine laughed, not very gaily.
It was funny. But it was sad. too.
$50 you don't know how Gale hates
the life you've tried to live with him?
He never told you that he'd sold him
self to it, so that when the time was
up he could 60 home with you. He
never told you about his farm that he
was to buy back - or that he loved
you for being what you really were?
But he told me. You see, he thought
you were so real you could keep your
feet against all this food of make
believe and that you would help him to
keep his. You've tried so hard. But
in his way. you've failed him. He
thinks he's lost you - or that he
never really had you"
Lois made a gesture of tired pro-
test. But l hated everything too"
you didn't tell him. You let him
think that the life here had got you

tract, it will be for your sake. But it

But you love Gale" Lois said
simply.
Catherine nodded Enough to tell
you the truth"
Lois sat very still with her face
between her hands and listened. She
heard what Leslie had done to her.
And flared into a brief anger.
Il never loved anyone but Gale.
And l never broke my promise. Leslie
knew Il told him at the time we

Lois stood up. She had forlorn

what we mean that matters-it's

things. but if you break someone's

And Gales like me. He has to believe

She was so sure - so hopeless.
Catherine walked beside her, back to
the car.
.'You do love him a lot, don't

"Yes Il suppose so. A lot. We

Lois bent forward and kissed the

Charge

Jonesboro, Ark. (ILNS)-Paul D.
Peaeher, city marshal of Earle, Ark.
tried here for holding negroes in
slavery, was convicted, and sentenced
to two years Imprisonment and to pav
a fine of $500.
The jury which convicted Peacher
recommended him to the clemency Of
the court; a fact which may be ex-
planned by the universal agreement
that peonage and slavery, as bad as
but perhaps less brazen than that of
Peacher, is going on every day of
the cotton growing season in the bot
tom lands Of Arkansas. Judge Mar
tineau, however, imposed sentnece.
but said that he would put Peacher
on probation for his Jail term if he
paid his fine.
The cool, high-handed loneliness
with which Peacher carried out the
scheme for which he has been con
yicted is almost beyond belief. Agri-
cultural laborers refused to work n
his cotton fields for less than rs cents
70 dollar a day. Peacher, as mar
shai, simply arrested as many men
as he thought he needed. charged
them with vagrancy, got them CON
yicted before Justice Of the peace
who admittedly does anything that
Peacher tells him to do, and then took
them from the county jail to work out
their sentences in his fields.
The convictions were under fed
eral law and before federal court.
They have encouraged champions of
civil Liberties to feel that peonage can
be stopped by federal action under
existing laws.
