Fashion Chatter.

One noted authority tells us that
fashions usually run in a seven-year
cycle. Taking skirts as an example,
she points out that about three sea-
sons ago flared skirts were on their
way out, after enjoying popularity
for some time. The pencil silhouette
was brought in, but, being unbecoming
to the majority Of women, was soon
modified, with rufileS, tunics or Sits,
to break the long, severe line. For
some reason, tunics never remain long
in high favor, 50 the next step was to
introduce a shorter, fuller skirt. Then
came more fullness, as witness the &C
Gordon pleats Of this year. The next
change will probably be back to the
short-in- front, long-in-back types,
bringing us to the closing Of the cycle
once more.

Often Sign
OIL Infection
BY JAMES BARTON, M. d.

TT is indeed fortunate that when
l infection attacks the body, one Of
the first symptoms is feeling Of weari-
ness and tiredness. The patient is
usually ready and willing to rest.
Thus it is found that an individual
with infection in the teeth feels about
as tired when he wakes as when he
went to bed.
Sleep or complete rest often becomes
necessary during infection because the
fighting forces Of the body are using
up their energy in fighting infec-
ton and there is little strength left
for the work Of the day.
Thus any tendency to sleepiness IN
an individual who Is usually alert
should make the individual or the
examining physician suspicious OF
infection.
On the other hand when the indi-
vidual does not get much sleep there
is likely to be a tired feeling due to
the fact that the fatigue products are
in the blood long after they should
have been removed from the body.
Recent research work shows that
when work is done or exercise is
taken the nerves and muscles which
do this work give up certain products
to the blood, and tiiredness results.
When suffcient sleep Is taken these
same products are carried back to the
nerves and muscles and remain there
Until more work Is done or exercise
taken.
It Is only during real sleep that
the nerves and muscles catch up
again, although two hours sleep and
complete rest and relaxation will keep
the body alive.
Nearly all infectious diseases are
associated first with marked feeling
of WEAKNESS that makes rest in bed
absolutely necessary. Fatigue in weak
or delicate individuals who are con-
stantly worried about their health
may be due to their mental condition.
Worry, which is chronic fear, produces
WEAKNESS Of mind and body"
Sleep, then, is an excellent. restor-
ative, as 1t rids the body Of fatigue
products and allows the natural en-
ersy and strength to return to nerves
and muscles.

Pie Pointers.

When baking pies such as pumpkin
and custard, roll the crust. Line the
pie plate with this and pour melted
butter inside. Let this stand five min
utes. Then pour in the mixture pre-
pared for the pie and bake. In this
way, the undercrust will never be
heavy. If you wish the undercrust
better Drowned than usual and very
fiaky and delicate, butter the pie tin
before putting in the crust.
When making any kind Of fruit pies,
it helps to have the sirup kept on
hand. Make these ahead of time.
Two cups of granulated sugar and a
quarter of q cup of water boiled five
minutes will do the trick. Sweeten
fruit pies with this sirup and the re-
suits will be excellent.

More Hints
On Make-Up
Technique
Proper Choice of Cos
metic Ensemble Is
First Requisite.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

WE HAVE spent considerable time
studying the requisites Of make
up items because we must agree that
it is the part of wisdom to be "choosy"
about the rouge, powder, lipstick and
other makeup accessories one uses
to enhance her loveliness.
Now we come to the actual appi-
cation of these finishing touches.
First. we have the foundation. For
the dry skin, you remember, a finish
ing cream or semi-liquid, with an
oil base. Be sure to apply according
to directions. If the label reads apply
sparingly don't make the mistake
of using too much in the hope that
it will do greater good. Blend very
carefully Blot any excess away with
a cleansing tissue. 1t is particularly
important to do this around the
eyes, O.. lines around mouth, fore
head and on wings of nose.
If you are using a liquid, for nor
NAL or oily type skin, pat and blend
this according to directions.
Now for the cream rouge, which
we might call the foundation rouge.
Apply just a bit with the middle
finger, dabbing it on near the check
bone. Then, with another finger, blend
upward and outward, following the
natural color area. Just where Is this
color area? You can study this when
you are naturally flushed after ex-
ercise or hot bath. Notice how
the natural coloring recedes gradually
until the edges are imperceptible.
Just So should your cream rouge
fade away If the edges are obvious
it will give an unatural and hard
loo: to the face. Furthermore, the
makeup looks positively ugly and
patched.
Remember to keep to rouge high
on the checks, above the line Of the
upper lip. Rouge allowed to come
below this line will give the face a
sagging, old look.
Next-powder. Use two puffs, one
for fiuffing the powder on and the
other for smoothing away the excess.
Or. use pads Of cotton, discarding
after each use. Start on the neck
and up on the face. .fiuffing and pat
ting the powder. Never rub or force
the powder into your skin. After
busting it on generously, smooth away
the excess.
The puff is very important. It
should be immaculate. Soiled puffs
often cause facial blemishes. I have
q little bulletin called Powder and
It's Puff" which elaborates on the
choice of powder, its application, also
on directions for washing powder
puffs. A self-addressed, stamped g.

Suggestion
In Regard
oChaperon
BY EMILY POST.

NEAR MRS. POST: I would like to
- visit my fiance. He lives in an
apartment alone but could arrange for
his brother to visit at the same time
I am there, if he would be proper
chaperonage. I think read where
you said that a brother or sister is
considered a chaperon. Or perhaps
you think my fiance would better go to
the hotel and let me have the apart
ment.
Answer-I don't think it would do
at all for you to either stay in his
apartment alone or with his brother
Your own brother or sister would be
considered proper chaperon, but his
or any one else's brother-would be
no cfaperon at all. Unless a member
of your family can 60 with you or
unless he can ask q sister or other
woman member of his family to chap
eron you, then very decidedly you
should be the one to stay at the hotel.
Dear Mrs. Post: One sees so many

dresses when the men with them are
in business suits. Is this an accepted
practise today?
Answer-No, it is altogether wrong
Even in this day of movie-going, which
has to a great extent modified yester-
days custom of dressing for dinner, q
woman in evening dress sitting at
table with a man in a sack suit Is In
worst possible taste. In fact, 1t Is as
inexcusable an example OF unsuitable
ity as golf shoes worn with q ball
dress! Moreover, apart from the
question OF taste, the impression given
to others is that she cared SO much
for him that she took great trouble
to dress, whereas he cared SO little
about her that he took no trouble at
all. Which Is, let US nope, not true.

Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Inferioritv Complex.

NOTHING in the way of psyche
logical jargon has enjoyed a
wider popularity than the term "in-
feriority complex" OF course, the
psychological significance OF this term
is neither completely nor generally
understood by those who use 1t.
The popular notion is that the in
feriority complex is a single psyche
logical trait that might, by psyche
logical analysis and advice, be shaken
off. That another one may come and
that it, too, may be eradicated.
The inferiority complex is fact,
and a very widely scattered something
in the makeup of human beings. 1t
is by no means something peculiar to
growing children. 1t seems to me
that more adults than children suf-
fer from 1t.
You find it in its most devastating
form among politicians. On this
score, it is not hard to hazard the
guess that our entire national welfare
is conditioned in considerable degree
by officeholders who fear the opinions
OF groups.
Consider the inferiority complex in
any way you will, you must regard 1t
as something that Is acquired rather
than inherited. In many cases it
turns out to be something more than
trait. It is the pattern of character.
AS such, it is the generator of most
of our prejudices and suspicious. Just
make q list of your own prejudices, II
any. If you can find few, try hon.
estly to trace them to their origin.
You will then be on the trail of that
ubiquitous thing called the inferiority
complex.

very succulent meat. If any OF you
wish to be convinced as to the very
delicious quality of this dish, would
suggest that you read Mr.. Charles
Lambs dissertation on roast pig,
which is guaranteed to make the
mouths of even the most adamant
water!
Right now, in Washington markets,
sucking pig is obtainable, and at a
more reasonable price than we nave
seen in recent months. For big
party, where the hostess wishes to
serve something new and exceedingly
TASTY, a fat little porker will fill the
bill perfectly. But he must be care
fully done, and served with all the
traditional garnishes and eclat.
THE pig is usually sent from the
u butchers completely ready for
the oven. Should this not be the
case. however, here are few direc-
tions to help you through the pre-
liminaries:
Wash the pig well in cold water,
and let it remain in the water for
about Is minutes. Have ready large
pan of boiling water. plunge the pig
into it, holding it by the nose. Shake
It vigorously about in the water, until
YOU can pull the hairs out easily.
Remove it from the water, rub it all
over with a very coarse towel, rubbing
from the tail towards the head. Make
q small opening in the belly, remove
the entrails, and wash the cavity
throughly with cold water, afterwards
wiping dry. Stuff with any one Of
several mixtures, and sew the opening
together,
Remove the hoofs at the first joint,
leaving the skin long enough to be
pulled over the end of the bone. Truss
the forelegs forward, and the hind legs
also forward, under and close to the
body. Wipe the pig carefully with a
clean dry cloth. and set something in
its mouth to hold the jaws open. Rub
all over with melted butter, dredge very
lightly with flour, salt and pepper.
Bake in a moderate oven, basting at
first with a little hot salted water.
and then with the juices in the pan.
Roast for about two and a half to
three hours, depending on the size of
the pig. When the pig is half done,
brush it all over again with melted
butter.

~ EAH MISS DIX. Wnen IL
came time for me to choose
q career my father informed
- me that I would be trained
for school teacher. My natural
talents follow the line Of journalism
and dramatics, but these my father
SCOTS at. Reluctantly I became a
teacher, a poor one whose heart was
not in her work.
Now, after three years at this oc-
cupation, am a complete nervous
wreck NY father blames me entirely
for my failure I am SO miserable and
bounded by an encouraged inferiority
complex that at % my lhe is in ruins.
My 17-year- -old sister is now grap-
pling with the same hard problem. She
desires to enter a business career,
but because of our fathers domineer-
ing will she must train for a nurse,
though the odor OF a hospital repels
her and she faints at the sight OF
blood.
Our father Is breaking our hearts
and our spirits and we are breaking
his. He believes us to be stubborn,
ungrateful children and We think him
lacking in understanding. Which of
us is right and what can we do about
it? MARY.
AnsWer-Probably no other one
thing has done more harm in the
world than the colossal conceit of
parents which makes them think they
have a right to play the part of
God to their children and decide their
fates. Somehow they seem to think
that with the advent of the first baby
they are endowed with Almighty wis
dom and become perfectly capable of
directing and shaping the whole
career of the life that has come into
their hands. For the slogan by which
most families are reared, and by which
every childs effort at expressing its
own individuality IS beaten down is:
Father and mother know best"
IN THE small matters in childs
early lie this may be partially
true, but such is not the case when
1t comes to deciding the big matters
which will affect the youngsters whole
life. Then father and mother do
not always know what is best for the
child because they cannot see into
| the child's mind or heart and know
what is there, what hopes, desires,
| ambitions, talents lie hidden in the
| childs secret soul.
It seems an almost impossible thing
for parents to realize that their chill
dren are net replicas of themselves
and have not the same character
istics nor the same tastes nor desires
Still less 10 they seem to realize that
child has any right to a choice in
its destiny. Innumerable mothers
have kept their daughters from marry
ing men they loved and forced them
into marrying men they didn't love

Wave of Selling Hits Market After

NEW YORK, December 10 tR)'-A
wave of selling hit the stock and bond
markets today following the Inter-
state Commerce Commissions denial
of rail freight surcharge extension.
Prices tumbled sharply.
z Obligations Of carriers led the
slump, but losses were extended gen.
orally to other departments. STOCK
prices were down from 81 to 81 q

4s per $100 face value.
e The decision caught markets by sur
brtse in the last hour Of trading. In
the stock exchange trading became so
active the ticker tape was at times
as much as seven minutes behind
floor trading. The rush was OF lesser
force in bonds, where declines also
were less. broad in character.
After Wall Street had taken time
DO reflect, a more hopeful sentiment
prevailed. Observers pointed to the
commissions conclusion the necessity
for emergency freight surcharges had
ended.

duction of lower rates by Eastern
lines this year.
The surcharge decision put life into
q wavering decline that had already
started. Stocks had been hesitant
all morning in the face of concern
over other matters, including labor
difficulties in the automotive field.
