BY WORTH CHENEY

WE WE'RE sitting around the
luncheon table the other day, talk
ing of everything but nothing in
particular when the question of
human character came up. 1t was
not unusual that the conversation
drifted to character, since most
discussions at such gatherings
eventually do touch on some phase
Of the subject, individually or gen.
orally. This version of the moot
question was different only in the
fact that it became a bit more de-
tailed in nature, seeking to estab-
lish the factors which reveal an
individuals character from out
ward physical features.
We brought it all on when we
appeared perplexed at the COM
ment that it is possible 20 tell ones
character by mere glance, with
out even knowing the individual in
question, and putting this query
before the assembly:
"And just what are the tell-tale
marks that reveal a mans char
acter?"
Our question must have indicat-
ed a certain lack of knowledge in
what we suppose is psychological
observation. Anyway, from then
on we were the target for series
of opinions as to just what about
a man, his face, features and
habits, stamps him in his sup
posedly true character.
IT'S THE EYES, said one of my
self-appointed informants. Clear,
wide-open eyes that look straight
at you show an open, frank mind;
half-open eyes denote q secretive
nature; eyes that take a sidewise
glance away from you indicate a
sly nature, while eyes that are
dancing about and never still
are Indicative of an unstable ma

son who is good humored and east
ly dominated. Pinched nostrils, 1T
is claimed, denote a pronounced
inferiority complex.
Another view was that the ears
were the only true index of char
acter. An unusually shaped ear
indicates an eccentric character;
very small ears show brilliance in
some direction; long ears show a
literary, poetic nature, while red
and f1eshy ears reveal coarse and
vulgar nature, and thin ears dis
trust.
The mouth, of course, was an
others idea as barometer of
character. But we weren't so
much interested in that explana-
ton as we were of the opinion of
a middle-aged woman, who was
much more original than the 9TH
ers about the way to tell character.
"I can tell more from a wash
line" she commented, than can
from a PERSONS face as to what his
character might be. / know from
what goes on the line just what
people are.
IF / see q pair of silk rajamas
on the line 1 can tell right away
that their owner is style conscious,
perhaps none too thrifty and un-
doubtedly impractical. A line that
lis laden with heavy nightgoWns,
black stockings and long 'woolies', /,
| know that the owner is practical,
thrifty and probably cares more
for comfort than for fashion.
"If a woman makes habit of
displaying her expensive garments
on the line, I regard it as just an
other form of Dragging. AT the
same time, if a woman isn't afraid
to hang up ripped apron or a
torn towel, you can figure her to
be unassuming and devoid of ego
tism-the kind of person you like
to meet"

and nerve locations.
However, there is one method of
massage that helps to reduce To-
cally, and yet can be employed by
any average woman without any
detrimental effects. It's a method
that is used by quite number of
screen stars, and it involves the
use of an ordinary coarse Turkish
towel.
To administer this sort of mas
sage, a large Turkish towel should
be placed around the part of the
body that the individual desires to
reduce, such as the hips, back or
like hardy parts of the anatomy,
and pulled rapidly back and forth.
Done faithfully. it stimulates the
circulation in those parts and re-
duces them.

Marks Of Season

UN USUAL combina-
tions of material and
choice of trimmings are
two of the most important
marks of the present sea-
son. Add to these the
higher waistline, the
square shouldered effects,
and the decided flare and
princess line, and you can
spot this years costumes
as far as you can see them.
Note the clever combi-
nation of colors and mate
rials in the dress pictured,

black silk sheer trimmed
with orange metal cloth.
Note the wide hem band
and the h G h-w a ist e d

sleeves and collar.
Then note the billowy
lines of the other dress
which is in black Lyons
silk velvet. The neckline
is new-high back, low
front. The sleeves are
tight to the elbow, and the
decolletage is finished
with white shell flowers.
Short, But Festive
For what is called the
cktail hour festive
gowns in street length are
being shown. Some of the
suits that are offered for
this hour are slim enough
to wear under the winter
coat, and others are more
voluminous. The sleeves
of many of the frocks are
short. Those in black, for
example, have little metal
cloth or Oriental brocade
jackets. Then there are
pleated two-piece lame
dresses and allover jet
beaded dresses = proving
that jet is once more in the
fashion picture.
Color combinations, as I
said before, are fascinat-
ing and arresting, and net
is being used for evening
dresses that are charming.

RfScfAt bJiiftASAss
WE ARE approaching the presi-
aential election. Though in most
Families the adults probably will
vo,e for the same candidate, in a
great many families there Will be
differences. In a few there VIII
be heated arguments, even between
children and parents. Even young
er children will be exposed to quar-
relsome arguments. Can such ex-
nerience be wholesome for these
children?
BENJAMIN Franklin observes IN
his autobiography that the ability
to argue without heat is about the
noblest human achievement. 1t
seems to me this is a goal worth
striving for by us parents, in re-
spect not only to politics, but to all
other matters as well. We should
remember that it is human to
rake up our minds, especially IN
regard to political issues and can
didates, and then to fool ourselves
that we are reasoning, when we
are only trying to justify the deci-
sions we had already arrived at.
l believe that you and would
like to have our children feel that
we are calm, deliberate and judi
cial about such matters. To this
end it might be well to strive to
control ourselves so as not to say
or do childish things. We would
like to prove good models in re-
spcct to our duties as voting citi-
zens.
Why Bring Matter Up?
In families where two or more
adult members have decided to
vote differently, the family atmos-
phere would be more comfortable,
as rule. If they were TO avoid
bringing the matter up. Why can
not they think and do differently
and still live together amicably?
Most of all, they should go, every
one of voting age, to the polls
Even where it is known to all thu
family that the fathers vote ant
the mothers vote would negat'
each other, both should vote as
matter of principle. 1t is a duty
ard proper expression of citizen
ship.
Likewise at school, all discussion
on the political campaign should b.
kept on a high judicial level, ant
the teacher, regardless of her po
litical activities outside of school
might do well to express no poiiti
eel preference.
Apologies to my many reader
who waited many weeks last sum
mer for answers to their letters
some of which came too late, per
haps, to be useful. The delay wa
occasioned by my absence of tw'
months in Europe. Now that an

OVER IN ENGLAND, I hear, a
new device has recently been in
vented that forces women to ex-
ercise, whether they like it or not.
Once q woman is strapped into
this contraption, it seems, the ma
chine, like one of our popular re-
cent songs, goes round and around
and the occupant must, of ne
cessity, exercise her lazy muscles.
Personally, I think that things
are coming to a pretty pass when
women actually have to be forced
TO exercise in order to retain their
youthfully slender lines. 1t is only
The lazy, pampered woman who
depends upon her masseuse alone
10 keep her body 1.-THE and slender,
for any woman who permits her
self to become fat, and is then too
lazy to give her diet attention and
TO obtain sufficient exercise, does
not deserve to have a lovely figure.
Nevertheless, massage really is
an effective reducing agent. How
ever, IL takes off inches, rather
than pounds, as it breaks up fatty
tissue locally. And therefore, it is
most helpful when used as a sup
plement to a more thorough reduc-
ing routine, such as the excellent
one outlined in my New Figure"
booklet. Massage, you see. has
somewhat the same effect as a
specialized exercise concentrated
upon one part of the body. 1t
breaks down fatty tissues that
lodge in that spot, and stimulates
the circulation to carry away the
residue.
Must Be Done Expertly
Massage as a means OF reduc-
ton. OF course, is always best

ture. Restless, narrow eyes, we
were told, meant O cruel, calculat-

down all the time and only glance
at you now and then are eyes of an
insincerc or dishonest person.
No, no, said another, it's not the
eyes, but the nose that betrays
character. And how can a nose
tell what man really is? The
formula is this: a straight Grecian
nose indicates artistic ability; a
large, thick nose, financial genius;
a long, thin nose, quarrelsomc

PUZZLED is only II, but she is
married and has baby. Her hus-
band is 10. Now they don't have
much money to spend on pleasure,
as he is learning his trade. One
night a week they go out together,
and have a good time. then they're
broke. Now the other two nights,
Saturday and Sunday, he goes out
with his boy friends, and she wants
to go out with some girls. But he
objects strenuously. They leave
the baby with mother, she eX-
plains, and if she stays at home
and puts the baby to bed, she gets
lonely. She loves to dance. and he
doesn't, but she doesn't dance with
other boys when he isn't with her.
So what to do is the problem.
Selfish brutes these men, aren't
they, Puzzled? Would your hus-
band object if you went to a pic
ture show instead of dance, with
the girls? He has no business to
find fault with you for going out
when he goes, admit, but l sup
pose he figures that you MIGHT
meet q man and dance with him if
you're at a dance, and he doesn't
like the idea. AS you do go to one
dance a week with him, when he
doesn't dance, couldn't you give up
going with the girls and go to a
picture show or have them at your
house and play cards or visit or
something instead of going dane
ing?
The success of your marriage
means more to you than dances,
anyway, doesn't it? Maybe if you
give in this time he'll be nice and
give up something for you, tco.
How about it? Ask him.
w. M. X: I hope l have the
initials right, for your letter was
long, and hard to read, my dear.
However, it is a. good letter be-
cause it gives a pretty complete

Now if you were a mother-as
you will be corlc day wonder
how you would feel about a
daughter of your age 5taying out
late at night, especially if you
were not sure of her companions.
I think you would feel much as
your mother does, that anything
might happen to your child and
you would be worried and maybe
a bit harsh.
Of course I do not hold with a
mother striking a girl your age,
but mothers get at their wits end
and sometimes their patience
comes to an end. 1 think you
should have q good time, but
