Did you know that cs s-ar re oil
is one of the finest oil trea atnlents
for the face? It is seldom used
in cosmetics as less expensive oils
are substituted, but if you really
want to see an improvement in
your face just get this oil from
your druggist and massage it well
into the skin. It is really $25
benefit for a very few cents.
IF your neck and arms are too
thin and skinny, you can correct
this very easily by following thu
directions given here:
Just get some good olive oil and
massage them thorough each
night after bathing in warm wa
ter. In the morning rub ice over
the neck and arms Or pat on an
astringent to firm them. Con-
tinue this treatment until satisfied
with results.

tin This is how she grew up and
loved madly and sinned, and broke
her fathers heart though he would
not say so; and how she quarreled
with and loved again her charm
ing irresponsible husband, and
how she bore many children to him
and what happened to them. Here
is her whole life and her problems,
a woman who might live today, so
much is she like any woman, a
woman Of all time!
The book inspires one in it's sp1

life is as modern and as ancient

Crowds of people move through it's

artists Of the high type of Conrad
sometimes descend to. Things
happen in large unhampered fash
ion, as they do in life. Again and
again Chance strikes likes light

sively. Moreover, one gets a sense
of the 'inexorable creep of Time

able to convey. Time isn't static,

to match the highlights of the
cheeks. I would advise my read
ers, however, to experiment with
this for themselves, studying it's
effect on their own face, before
adopting it as a gneral practice.
The Arizona gleam., 1936-08-28

Using rotary, massaging motion,
90 over the rouge with the finger
tips or puff, gradually filling in
the triangle between the two lines
and rubbing out the lines them
selves. Blend the color outward in
all directions so that it fades grad
ually and inperceptibly into the
unlimited skin color. Be careful not
to get any rouge into the hollows
of the cheeks.
If the face is thin and narrow,
the rouge should be extended out
ward a little farther and also ap-
piled somewhat lower on the face.
The cheeks will have a fuller ap-
pearance and the face will seem
broader if the bottom edge of the
rouge is about even with the tip of
the nose. It should never be ex-
tended as far down as the mouth,
however.
If, on the other hand, your face
is too wide, don't let the outer linn
it of the rouge extend so far to
the side, but end it somewhere un-
der the corners of the eye-sockets.
This will give the whole face a
narrower appearance.
If it is done carefully, a short
longer by applying rouge at the
corners of the nostrils, alongside
the nose. Here, of course, special
care must be taken to blend the
rouge SO thoroughly into the skin
that it will not be noticeable.
In a similar manner, a nose that
is too long will appear somewhat
shorter if a little rouge is applied
just below the tip of the nose and
carefully blended into the skin.
Hollywood beauty specialists are
now advising us that the globes
of the ears and the point Of the
chin should be rouged just enough

rieuSe Beauty FOundatlon, 81.
Louis, Mo.
ST. LOUIS = Many women ac-
tually detract from their natural
charm by using makeup incorrect
ly.
Most of us have some features
which are attractive and others
which are less desirable. When
they are properly used, beauty aids
like rouges, powder and lipstick
should merely accentuate our good
points and the others less con-
spicuous. But the makeup should
never be so noticeable that it calls
attention to itself.
Rouge, for example, should be
applied in such a manner that it is
impossible to tell where it begins
and ends on the cheeks.
In general, rouge should be worn
high on the face, just under the
eyes. This gives the whole face a
youthful, alert expression. If the
rouge is applied lower, on. the
flcshy part Of the cheeks opposite
the mouth, the face looks older
and duller.
During the hot summer days,
when perspiration keeps our skin
moist, it is difficult to find pow
der rouge which will remain fresh
and attractive all day long. For
this reason, many women prefer a
cream rouge, which can be blended
into the skin so smoothly that
even in the bright daylight it is
not noticeable, and at the same
time it remains in place longer.
Beginning on the cheekbone just
under the center of the eye, draw a
line of rouge outward and slightly
upward, following the ridge of the
cheekbone, to a point slightly be-
yond the end of the eyebrows.
Then, starting at the same point
under the eye, draw another short
er line diagonally outward and
downward across the cheek, just
under the curve of the cheekbone.
When this has ben done, blend
the rouge thoroughly into the skin.

Miss Edna Harmon, supervisor of &VPA educational and recreational activities in the city, announced this morning that survey had started kotIay in local grammar schools in connection with Q new ten-week orientation course which will be given at the local Y. M. 0. A. as part of the Mattatuck Summer school. It is not known just how many instructors will take care of the various divisions of the course at the present time, but when the survey of grammar school gradu- ates is complete the number of teachers necessary to carry out the ufograYn will be announced. The eE1- tire program is part of the carry over program of the local commun- ity college.
 Miss Harmon's statement this morning points out the necessity of such c course. '|rhe experience of etudents who have enrolled in the fiiah schools" in the past reads the xeport," establishes the very definite need for such 0 transitional period of social, educational and recrea- tsonai orientation." This need arises from the inability of the young stu- dent to acclimate himself to condi- lions which are totally at variance with those which have existed dur ing the period of his primary edu- cation.
 Tn relation to the objective of the course, the supervisor issued the following statement:
 The objective of the Mattatuck Summer School is to prepare the student for this new world of edu- cation, and to assist the student to make these necessary adjustments ak time when the process will not interfere with his or her regulated lfigh school studies. It is Q difficult task for boys and girls at this age, when impressions are 50 easily ob- tained and retained, to acclimate themselves to these conditions with out a retradation of scholastic pro- gress.
 m regard to the benefits which will be derived from such Q course, t is pointed out that this period of adjustment, one which would ordi- narily require the first two months of high school training, would be anticipated and adequately handled during the summer months. The students from different grammar schools will have the chance of meeting each other and when they enter high school in September there will not be the necessity of making new acquaintances. In ad- .dition, the curriculum will include a comprehensive plan of study, showing the potential high school student what the educational stand ards of high school are and how
