airfax Says Stinginess Is Fault That Will Kill Love
Beauty
New Makeup
COlOrS
By DONNA GRACE

We are really becoming quite
fastidious in our color harmony.
The old Earring combinations
that were once in order are not in
evidence now. Instead we have
soft blending Of the harmonizing
shades-the kind that may be
called "easy on the eyes"
We used to feel that every
framed picture should have some
kind of a white mat, but when
such pictures were hung and as.
Sembled with soft draperieS and
other furnishings, they stood apart
so as to disrupt the whole color
motif. We find now that few
white mats are used unless the
general surroundings call for this
effect. Soft tones and those in
harmony with the room are cor
rect.
The makeup and all beauty
products have been changed and
improved in the same way. From
the two shades Of powder, one
pink and the other chalk-white,
we have developed any number OF
real skin shades from the very
darkest to one of light atmos-
pheric illusion. The whites and
pinkS are never used except in
| character makeup.
Now the new rougeS and lip
sticks are being shown in SungloW,
terracotta, Spanish, tropical and
all the warm elusive tones that
harmonic so artiStically with the
bronze and copper skin shades.
These new reds are so attractive
with the dark powders, even when
one is not tanned. They give one
natural Oriental coloring that
seems so in keeping with the gay
sport clothes.
The foot makeup is done with
the same smoky shadows of polish
that are used for the finger nails
so that no one part will be more
conspicuous than another. We
may be sure when any part OF the
makeup stands out noticeably, it
is not the smooth, blended picture
ensemble it should be-so try to
select the shades that are correct.

dressed envelope. Address Donna

Novel Idea

A novel idea in home furnish
ing, and one that is surprisingly
effective, was seen a few days
ago. White lace, in a delicate
flower pattern, was stretched
over a frame and used as a val
ance. From this valance sum-
mer curtains of sheer white net
were looped back with tie-backs.
The light filtering through the
lace pattern gave the room an
airy cool look, and made it ap-
pear very spacious and summary.

Sometimes girls write letters to

"DISILLUSIONED."
Stinginess, such as this lady de
ScribeS, is neither habit nor an
acquired characteristic. It's as
ineradicable as ones height, cast
of features or the circulation OF
the blood. That sort of Stinginess
is bred in the bone.
Stinginess is not restricted to
either sex. Women are often Stin
gier than men. Years ago I lived
in a family hotel, and sat at a
table next to one of the richest
women in the world. She was
shabby, dirty and unkempt.
When a member Of her family
happened to be i'll, she would but

Politically Speaking

Politics is: A strife of inter-
ests masquerading as a contest
of principles.
A Nominee is: A modest gen.
tleman shrinking from the dis
tinction of private life and dill
gently seeking the honorable OBJ
security of public Office.
A Vote is: The instrument and
symbol of a freeman S power to
make a fool of himself and a
wreck of his country.
The President is: The leading
figure in small group of men of
whom it is positively known that
immense numbers of their coun-
trymen did not want any of them
for president.
A Representative is: A men,
Der of the Lower House in this
world, and without discernible
hope of promotion in the next.
A Republic is A graduation be-
tween the despotism whence it
came and the anarchy whittier it
leads.
A Millennium is: The period
of a thousand years when the lid
is to be screwed down, with all
reformers on the under side.

society. Finally, as our party af-
frmed in its first platform in
1856: Believing that the spirit
of Our institutions as well as the
constitution of our country guar
antees liberty of conscience and
equality of rights among our citi-
zens we oppose all legislation
tending to impair Them and we
invite the utilization and cooper
alton of all the men of all parties,
however differing from us in
other respects, in support of the
principles herein declared The
acceptance of the nomination
rendered by this convention car
ries with it, as a matter of pri-
vate honor and public faith an
undertaking by each candidate to
be true te~the principles and pro-
gram herein set forth.
To anyone who reads it, the
Republican platform must strike
him as a document of absolute
sincerity and honesty of purpose.
By far one of the most intelli-
gent and striking platforms ever
written, it is a magnet which will
attract more votes than perhaps
even the Republicans dare hope.

Quoted along the same order, and

their platform, success is indeed
assured at the polls. The placing

once more any person who is
willing to work can do so, and at

The text of the party's plank
on relief reads: "The necessities
of life must be provided for the
needy, and hope must be restored
pending recovery. The admins
tration of relief is a major failure
of the New Deal. 1t has been
faithless to those who most de-
serve our sympathy. To end
confusion, partisanship, waste and
incompetence, we pledge: II

ad grants-in-aid to the states and
territories while the need exists,
upon compliance with these con-
,ditions: (A) A fair proportion
of the total relief burden to be
provided from the revenues of
states and local governments ;
(B) All engaged in relief ad-
ministration to be selected on the
basis of merit and fitness; CO..

The plank of the COP. plat
from dealing with security is ex-
plicit, and in public refutation of
accusations which falsely charged
the Republican party with intend
ing to scrap or ignore any pro-
visions for the aged or unemploy-
ed. On security, the COP. has
to say: "Real security will be
possible only when our produc-
tive capacity is sufficient to fur
nish decent standard of living
for all American families and to
provide a surplus for future
needs and contingencies. For the
attainment of that ultimate OBJ
jective, we look to the energy,
self-reliance and character of our
people, and to our system of free
enterprise. Society has an obi
cation to promote the security of
the people, by affording some
measure of protection against in
voluntary unemployment and de-
tendency in old age. The New
Deal policies, while purporting
to provide social security, have,
in fact, endangered it. We pro-
pose system of old age security,
based upon the following prin-
ciples: I'VE approve a pay-as-
you-go policy, which requires of
each generation the support of
the aged and the determination of
what is just and adequate. p

should receive the supplementary
payment necessary to provide a

tradltlOnalln American lite, and to |
promote policies which will bring |
about an adjustment of agricul-
ture to meet the needs of domes-
tic and foreign markets. AS an
emergency measure, during the
agricultural depression, federal
benefit payments or grants-in-aid
when administered within the
means of the federal government
are consistent with a balanced
budget. We propose: Ito ia
cilitate economical production
and increased consumption on
a basis of abundance instead of
scarcity. We pledge ourselves
to give every reasonable assist
ance to producers in areas suffer-
ing from temporary disaster, so
that they may regain and main
tain self-supporting status. 80"
On monopolies the COP. is
fortnight and clear:
"a private monopoly is indie
feasible and intolerable. 1t men
aces and, if continued, will utterly
destroy constitutional govern
ment and the liberty of the citi-
zen. We favor the vigorous en-
forcement of the criminal laws,
as we'll as the civil laws against
monopolies and trusts and their
officials, and we demand the en-
actment of such additional legis-
lation as is necessary to make it
impossible for private monopoly
to exist in the United States. We
will employ the full powers of
the government to the end that
monopoly shall be eliminated and
that free enterprise shall be fully
restored and maintained"
Regulation of business, which
has caused so much turmoil and
bitterness since the inception of
the Roosevelt regime, comes in
! for some calm and critical obser-
walton by the Republicans:
eve recognize the existence of
a field within which government
al regulation is desirable and sal
utary. The authority to regulate
should be vested in an indepen-
dent tribunal acting under clear
and specific laws establishing def
mite standards. Their determi-
nations on law and facts should
be subject to review by the
courts. We favor federal regula-
ton, within the constitution, of
the marketing of securities to
protect investors. We favor also
federal regulation of the inter-
state activities of public utili-
ties.'
Government finance, which in
the case of the New Deal has
been made up OF sleight-of-han
tricks and ballyhoo designed to
impress and befuddle the voter,
is made to jump through the hoop
in the COPS plank on Gov
| eminent Finance:
"The New Deal administration
has been characterized by shame
full waste, and general financial
responsibility. 1t has piled def
cit upon deficit. 1t threatens ma
tional bankruptcy and the de-
struction through initiation of in
