Beauty
Protect Your
Eyes
BY DONNA GRACE

It is, indeed, a good idea to re-
peat advice when it is especially
good and on an important sub
ject, such as the eyes. So let me
repeat the advice I have given you
some time ago about putting for
eign substances in the eyes, such
as belladonna and argerol. These
two are frequently used without
the advice of a physician.
During the recent months a
number Of women have written,
asking me about the use Of bella.
donna in the eyes. They ask how
much of it should be used, how
often to use it, and what does it
do for the eyes.
Others tell me they use it every
time they want to to make the
eyes appear large and expressive,
and, even though it does make the
eyes a bit clouded and blurred for
a few hours, "1t won't do any
harm, will it?"
Can you imagine such a bad,
bad girl? They want me to agree
with them, too. Beuadonna is an
old offender. It has been used
for ages by ladies who would have
large and lustrous eyes, and, &C.
cording to the eye specialists, it
has been more injurious than any
so-called eye beautifier that women
have ever used.
Until recently I thought the
practice had been relegated to the
same discard that claim the steel
corsetS, tight shoes and all such
barbarouS tricks.
Do not let anyone induce you to
put anything in your eyes to
brighten them except a good eye
wash. Belladonna does not beau
tify the eyes anyway. It merely
enlargeS the pupils and gives the
eyes a dull lusterless expression.
The eye makeup that you have TO
select from is Of such horizon that
H is possible to make all eyes at
tractive.
The first thing to do is to shape
the eyebrows. That can be done
at home with tweezerS and scissors.
Shape the top line first, then re-
move enough from the lower side
to give the brow a good, clean,
narrow line. Then after you have
finished your makeup use the
mascara carefully, then the eye
shadow and your eyes will be just
as expressive as they should be.
The controlling muscles of the
eyes are interviewer with a network
of delicate and sensitive nerves
that respond to and reflect a
happy expression. It is necessary
to exercise the eyes regularly, too.
Miss La Vania: Your soap and
water cleansing is really the best
treatment for your young skin,
but you must rinse it more care
fully and it will not have a muddy
look"
Jay: Send for my Normalizing
Exercises and you will have the
correct movements for grace and

full, why make any change? You

Mrs. Bradley: I have never
found a lipstick that soap and
water would not remove. Do not
rub the lips too vigorously. A
gentle massaging with a creamy
soap lather and thorough rinsing
is the way. Then apply cream.

rice Fairfax Warns Girls to Beware the misunderstood Husband
He Seldom
Keeps His
Promise
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Famous Authority on Problems OF
Love and Marriage
That venerable stencil, MY
wife doesn't understand me,
has much to answer for in the
business world, where men and
women meet daily.
Literally hundreds Of letters
have come to this column from
girls who have drifted into unfoEA
tunate love affairs through pity,
which, as the poet reminds us, is
''akin to love-" Women are tire
mendous dispensers Of pity. Make
them sorry for something or some
one, and the battle is won.
All said and done it's a good
plan, when a married man tells
you that his wife has never under
stood him, to give him as wide q
berth as if he had a downright
case of smallpox.
This Misunderstanding wife Is
the married mans barrage,
thrown up very likely about some
attractive girl working in the same
office, factory or shop with him.
He knows if he succeeds in making
her sorry for him, it's compare
lively easy to arouse her love and
count on her favorS.
AROUSE PITY
I wish you could see the letters
that have come to me from girls
who have taken this first wrong
turn down the crooked lane Of
misfortune.
Pity is an adjunct Of femininity.
Too bad that's the case, but the
Lord made women that way. And
the business girl has got to take
chances with this handicap and
watch her step.
So when a man comes along
and says he's lonely, miSunder.
stood or unappreciated and pourS
this tale Of unhappiness into the
ears of some sweet and silly girl
who feels it's her mission in life
to console the sad-eyed gentleman
let her beware.
There are one or two things
for these easy girl sympathizers to
remember. First Of all, the gen
tleman who is capable Of hopping
up such vast quantities Of pity is
thinking more Of himself than OF
the girl friend.
He hints vaguely about q di-
vorce from the woman who bears
his name and who is the mother
of his children, but it's q ghost
divorce he's talking about nine
times out of 10-and the ghost
divorce seldom materializeS.
QUICK CURE"
A quick "cure" for q love affair
founded on pity has frequently
been effected when the deeply
sympathizing girl sees the marital
martyr at the theater or the movie
with his wife, and they appear to
the casual observer to be on the
best Of terms. Or when some friend
says: did you know Mrs. - has
a new baby?" Then the girl realizes
she has given her best to a man
who is utterly selfish.
The traduced and "unsympa-
thetic" wife nearly always takes
precedence over the girl who has
broken her heart and soiled her
reputation trying to make things
a little happier for man who is
just looking for a thrill. He comes
back Within quoting from hun
dreds of letters something like
this:
81 love you better than anything
I'm the world, darling; but I have
my family and my position to con-
sider."
OF course, these girls who write
me about the old, old familiar
story Of the married man mis-
understood at home are foolish to
have listened to one of these most
ancient of fictions, but you can't
help being sorry for them.

You sign your name first: Mary
and John. I'll grant you that, at
first thought, it does seem more
consistent for the Signer to sign
her name last. But even though
formally we speak Of "Mr. and
Mrs" informally (and this first
name signature is, Of course, in.
formaD we usually speak of Mary
and John" And the husbands for
whom the wives are sending these
cards would Cor should) prefer
that this sequence of names would
be adhered to.
You address these cards to Mr.
and Mrs. - even If you don't
know both. In greeting cards, as
with formal invitations and an
nouncements, this is a social com
pliment that always should be
made.
You are right. Under these cir
cumstances, the cards should be
signed with both your names.

OverWeights' ,
Problems
By DONNA GRACE

One must experience the dis
comfort and embarrassment Of
overweight before it is possible to
have any sympathy for the fat
person.
It is easy to say and think what
we would do if we were fat, but
If we were fat we would do as fat
persons do-which is usually a
lot of talking about the time we
are going to reduce.
They all think a certain time
will come when they will get to
work and take off all excess
weight in just no time. Yes, IN
deed. we almost believe them.
they talk so convincingly, especi-
ally over a big juicy steak, and
these grand creamy desserts that
are so tempting, but while they
are waiting for a good time to
start, the slim lines are disap'
bearing, and that lazy, don't
want-to-move feeling takes hold.
There is another group OF over
weights who are a real problem
though. They are the ones who
Just give up and enjoy their
misery.
They too have good arguments
for themselves such as: My mother
was fat, and I can't help being
too fat, too. It's no use trying
nothing 1 do will make me lose
weight. 1 don't eat much OF any
thing: or else they will find .

and sleeping ten or twelve hours

reasons.
The week started some years
ago for aiding thousands OF chill
dren orphaned in the World War.
It has continued, and directs at
tention now to the thousands OF
children who through illness or
lack of the necessities OF life nave
little happiness to expect on
Christmas Day.
Whole sets of menus have been
worked out for families who wish
to budget this week. The cost OF
them ranges around 9 cents per
meal per person. They plan the
food budget for family OF tlVe
for $1O.15.
The menus are varied and are
planned according to sound diet
etic principles. They have variety,
but the variety is chosen from
foods that come under the limited
food allowance. Cooking for m
terest on such a food budget is
hard.
Following the regime for a day
or a week will give quick apprecla-
ton of how drab Christmas must
be to those who have only this
amount to spend every week In
the year.
When these menus are used,
there will be cash left in the
average family food budget with
which another Christmas may be
made pleasant.
