Beauty
By DONNA GRACE

This is the season when out of
door sports are so appealing, par
ticularly because of the pleasant
invigorating weather.
We may indulge in any sport at
this time-roller skating, bicycling,
polo, golf. tennis and our daily
canter through the parks or in
the country.
The question of our grooming
for sports must be thought of, too.
The most important thing to keep
in mind for sports makeup is
simplicity.
Very few girls of the younger
set use any makeup to speak OF
for active sports. Lipstick and
mascara are the only cosmetics in
which they indulge, and that, as
one of the girls explained, is put
on so their friends will recognize
them.
The football makeup, however,
is little different. The spectator
has an easier time of it and is sup
posed to be smart and attractive.
Even here the makeup must not
be overdone.
You must, first of all, wear warm
enough clothes so you will not have
that pale or blue drawn look, as if
you were about to freeze. Nothing
looks worse than a chilled, miSer-
able face in the trying daylight.
The makeup is garish and start
ling, so be comfortable and warm
and you will be sure to be lovely.
The rougeS with an orange
shade look better than the ones
with the blue mixture. so you
can use a deeper red than for
indoors, also a darker powder.
Mascara can be used, but eye
shadow had better be left off
altogether.
Before you use any makeup,
put on good cream to protect
your skin. Remove the cream,
then apply a foundation makeup
or powder all over the face,
rubbed into it smoothly. A
medium or dark rachel is the
best shade.
For bronze or red hair, use
ochre, then a powder of the
same shade lightly, and for
cheek rouge. use the same tone
as your ipstick. Apply it over
the upper part of the cheeks.
Blend it carefully and very
lightly over the eyelids and in
clude the ears. Touch a bit Of
the tissue cream on the lips be-
fore applying your rouge. It
will keep them from becoming
dry.

For Value Received!

+ VI value hSC61Veu!
ENEW of us really know
l. whether we are getting
value for our money when we
buy staples-even if we've been
buying for years. Few women
know what gauge and thread
mean in silk stockings, what
warp and filling mean in woven
fabrics, what count" means,
and all those other terms that
are apt to be more confusing
than helpful, yet are the basis
and soul of economical buying,
if we understand them. But
now there's an eaSy-tO-use con-
sumer'S guide on the market
a mere batch of cards with all
the necessary information on
each card about each household
necessity or usual fabric. 1t
consists of book of facts which
you can use as a reference or
digest slowly, as you need it.
Then there's a short list of di-
rections as to how to use the
guide; and there's the box of
cards-each on different sub
ject and each with samples of
the material under discussion.
And, oh, yes, there's a magni-
flying glass, so that you can
examine the fabrics and see for
yourself which is coarser, which
is heavier, and so on. Not al
ways is the heaviest the strong
est, however, or the lightest the
softest. You must reall y study
each fabric separately to know
their fine points. Each time
you're going to ShOp Tor a
staple, or a fabric, you simply
take out the card on that fabric
and learn about it before you
go downtown. You can deter
mine which weight, which
brand, which type suits your
needs best, and purchase ac-
cordingly. There are record
cards, too, on which you can
jot down your purchases, with
price, brand, date and so on,
and find out from your own
experience what suits your own
needs best. This grand house

THE OTHER GIRL
nws

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"FOr the last four years I have
been going with a young man,
whom 1 love very deeply. A few
months ago he left me for another
girl, but they did not get along
well, because she was absolutely
diSlOyal to him, and made up to
every man she met.
'NOw he has come back to me
and wants me to marry him. Do
you think we could make sue
cess of marriage, or will he go
back to this other girl to whom
he was very devoted for two
months? ANXIOUS"
No one can honestly propheSy
about such a case as this. The
man, acquainted with you for four
years, apparently did not suggest
marriage until this other girl let
him down by her disloyalty, The
question is, has this experience
made him realize your worth, or
does he only want to marry you
"to show her.?
It would be we'll, don't you think,
not to marry him Immediately, or
until you both get a better per-
spective on your true feelings to
each other?

ANOTHER VIEW
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"AS a regular reader of your
column, 1 am impressed with the
number of men who, like myself,
take advantage of advances made
by a girl, and yet resent them.
Perhaps it may be inconsistent,
but if a girl wants to try out a
bit of necking, I'm always willing
to accommodate. But 1 make it
plain to these young ladies that
our friendship is strictly tempo
rary.
"When I marry, the girl will
have to be a little more chary of
her favOrS. If she is so kind to
me, what's to prevent her from
being kind to the next?
''HARD-BOILED BACHELOR"
When I get a letter like yours,
I always wish the writer was
within talking distance. You young
crusaders, who are willing to take
all and give nothing, irritate me
with your demands for old-faSh
ioned virtues, for you let the girls
who have them severely alone.
I've had countless letters from
attractive girls who never get a
date because they decline the free
and easy behavior you self-right
eous critics seem to demand-and
then complain about. Do try to
be little fair minded.

your family interested in this
vegetable, do try out different
methods. Try serving them raw
occasionally or in chopped
raw vegetable salad.
In cooking them, a certain
amount of sugar and mineral
content is lost if they are cut
in very small pieces and boiled
in much water. There is less
loss if they are cooked whole or
cut in long slender strips.
The usual methods of serving
them are creamed, buttered or
sauteed.
This is only the beginning of

"HARD.BOILED BACHELOR"
DIDN'T MEAN 1T
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
1--WE met for the first time at
lovely Open-air wedding. She was
standing near me, and our eyes
met, and something seemed to
happen. / made gesture with
my arm, as if to lead her to the
clergyman next. She smiled as
if it were all right with her.
1--WE had a glOriOusly happy
time all evening. She was from
Out-of-tOwn, and was staying with
some people in a nearby suburb.
1 drove her home in my car. We
parked, and the first thing I knew
she was in my arms. With me it
was love at first sight. When 1
saw her again she was absolutely
distant. After that it was the
same on every occasion we met.
when she went home I wrote
her letter and asked her to
marry me. She replied that she
hardly knew me, and if she had
been silly that evening the rO-
nance of the wedding swept her
off her feet. Now what do you
make of this?
BENEDICT"
Even if it was love at first sight
with you I think you've got to
take the girls word for it that it
wasn't the same thing with her.
The out-of-door wedding is a love
ly ceremony, and I dare say it has
a good deal to answer for in the
long way of temporary flashes of
romance. There is nothing to do
but biGe your time. Perhaps the
young couple at whose wedding
you met may be generous and ar
range to have you meet the girl
later. Best wishes.
