Proper Light and Well
Arranged Vanity
Table Essential.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

DEFORE we leave the subject Of
~ makeup, there are . few fine
points which we should note. It
is these points that put makeup in
the fine arts class. Studying them.
we realize why some women make
so much Of their facial beauty, giving
their skins more luminous quality,
heightening their natural coloring, in
fact, even changing. or apparently
changing the size and shape OF GER
tain features.
I think the dressing table is one
of the most important accessories to
the fine art of makeup. Seated be-
fore 1t, her makeup lined up in con-
venient order, a woman makes q
little ceremony Of applying her rouge
and powder leisurely, properly and
cleverly. There is something about
dressing table that is conducive to
a more careful attitude. It somehow
STAYS the hand that would hurry
through rouging and powering. doing
it hapha7arcly or carelessly thereby.
This stucied, unhurried ceremony is
invariab'v rewarded with compli-
ments!
Proper light is another important
consideration. 1t Is decided mistake
to apply ones daytime make up under
the electric bulb. Because artificial
light has a way Of sapping some Of
the color Viewed in the light Of
sun and day. this makeup becomes
too artificial and glaring. If you are
applying your makeup for daytime,
bring your hand mirror over to
| window, or better yet, have your
dressing table where the daylight is
reflected on it. Likewise. when apply
ing makeup for evening, do so under
artificial light
| When makeup is completed, be
sure to remove head band, which
should always be worn during the
application also during a facial.
Bring the powder up to the very
| hairline. cut brush it out Of the hair.
Also be sure to brush the eyebrows
so that TO trace of powder remains
in them.
Use q little eye lotion with eyecup
or dropper This will refresh you,
keep eyes clear and bright and will
also help to remove any excess cream
around eyes.
Remember that garish, artificial
makeup is as unlovely as a pallid.
colorless face. The happy medium
Is safe, wise and altogether beautiful.

Often the home dweller would like
to have an extra place for books and
yet cannot see the space for it. Maybe
you have a door that is not needed.
Often, particularly in old fashioned

Take away any unneeded door and
build shelves where the door has been.
On the other side, hang piece OF

ers trek to the nearest ZOO to observe
the activities of Mr.. Groundhog at IL
O'Clock on the morning of February 2.
Sometimes he obliges by making his
appearance-at other times he is too
deep in his long Winters nap to be
bothered about the weather during
the next six weeks.
Like many other customs and be-
lieis, the origin Of setting the ground
hog up as a weather bureau is prac-
tically lost In the mists OF antiquity.
The I'd Of February was desig-
mated in the ancient Anglican. Roman
and Greek churches as Candlemas day
by Pope Gelasius in the latter part OF
the fifth century. The Christian rea-
son for the festival was that the I'd
of February was the fortieth day after
the birth of Christ, and the ami
yersary therefore of the publication
Of His mother. and His presentation
to the church. Actually, many cere-
monies attending the festival are d.
rectly traceable to the pagan Feb
rualia, which was celebrated in Rome

~ EAR MISS DIX: I am 20
years old a college graduate.
NY interests are varied. I
- am fond Of both study and
reading and also athletic sports, music,
dancing, etc. I like the society OF
women, but have never been In love.
Now here Is the problem: have a
fine Job. I am tired Of boarding houses
and want a home Of my own, but pick
ing a wife is very serious BUSINESS
when you have no especial urge toward
any one particular charmer. Now, can
shop around among the few girls I
like best and pick. out the one nearest
my desires and marry her and expect
happiness? If I use this cold, calcu-
lating method of choosing q wife,
would this thing called love, which I
seem to know nothing about, be likely
to come along and make good bid to
break up my home? Is it possible that
because of by varied desires and inter-
ests have never, or never will, find
one girl with whom I could be satis-
fed? HES1TANT.
Answer: The marriage of conveni-
ence seems to work out well enough in
various Continental countries. At any
rate they have fewer divorces than we
have, so the marriages that are made
by papa and mama and that are based
on suitability and property considera-
tions and social connections, and not
on thrills, must be fairly satisfactory,
or else the high contracting parties
would break the bonds that bind them
together.
RUT I doubt the Continental mar
riage can ever be transplanted to
these shores and made to thrive. 1t Is
too alien to our soil, too foreign to our
way Of thought. We are too individual
istic, too emotional, too sentimental to
be willing to make a marriage merely
business transaction and, above all.
we are too impatient with enduring
conditions that are not to our liking
to make us willing to go on with mar
riage that is nothing but dull and
stodgy working agreement.
You can put up with your business
partner II he has put q lot Of money
in the firm or II he is good ONCE man
or crackerjack salesman, no matter
how homely he is to look at, or how
boring to talk to. But how are you
going to stand wife who Is hard on
the eyes and q tedious conversation
aist, even II she did have . good
dowry and is the blue ribbon cake
maker Of the community.
OF course, the marriage Of conven-
ience has logic all on its side. It would
seem that 1t would be q far wiser thing
for young man to pick out his wife
with his head instead Of his heart, and
that the percentage Of happiness would
all be In favor Of the youth who Sc
lected the girl who came up to his
ideal and who was healthy, good
natured, thrifty and, domestic, instead
of the pretty little nibbertigibbet who

in that intense way of his. The up

nit suicide.
HE JUMPED into the water one
day. firmly resolved to die. The
bridge tender jumped in after him
and dragged him ashore. The story
caused little fiutter in his end of
town and, strange to say. he sold a
couple of his grotesque creations on
the strength of the notoriety. I'm
mediately he began to be hopeful
again. Maybe he was beginning to
be appreciated at last!
"A month went by. and he didn't
get rid of anything else. He went into
huddle with himself. and the next
morning his landlady. hearing the
crash of the chair when he kicked
it over, found Paul twisting on the
end of rope tied to rafter in his
garret.
She cut him down before he had
time to strangle. Again the story
leaked out. and Paul did fairly good
business with curious people who hap
pened around to poke their noses In
some one else's business.
Thereafter Paul became a tradi-
ton in the colony. When he couldn't
sell any of his screwy masterpieces
some one was sure to find Paul just
before he expired by his own hand.
He must have been clever at that!
And he was versatile, too.
His repertoire included death by
knives, guns, rope, drowning and
razors. He would have tried jump

~THERE was one section of the city
where all the small-time artists
gathered and built up their own pecu-
liar versions of Greenwich Village,
with a lot of crazy ideas thrown in
for good measure I doubt if any OF
them had ever been within shooting
distance of New York in his life.
Naturally. their ideas were mostly
what they had got out OF books and
from the papers. If you took a walk
through their section you would have
been reminded of Paris in the
nineties.
They went in for long hair, gar
rets and everything else in the best
Bohemian tradition. Maybe they
didn't realize that they were 20 years
behind the times. but that's not the
point OF the story
You get an aggregation of that sort
