Beauty
Stars Protect
Attractions
By DONNA GRACE

The screen beauty as her aver
age public sees her is always a
glamorous, luxurious young per"
son who must sleep until noon
when she is awakened by soft
music and the exhilarating fra"
GRANGE of fresh flowers. Then
there is an elaborate perfumed
bath and makeup and she Is
ready for a delicious breakfast.
We can picture a smart little
table covered with exquisite linen
in a pastel tint wheeled into a
sunlit boudoir. It would be laid
with delicate china and shining
silver. Roses to match the linen
are at the side, and in profusion
about the room.
With this setting, the break.
fast might be Of fruit, rich hot
waffles topped with whipped
cream and jam, tiny sausages.
fried chicken, assorted hot
breads and coffee. She would
come sweeping in with trailing
chiffons and chinchilla and re-
ceive her visitors somewhat in
the du Barry manner as she
INDUCED in this sustaining meal.
This, according to some Of her
fans, is the stars daily routine.
and she is quite content to let us
keep our illusions. as far as
she Is concerned.
The real truth is that these pet
ted darlings are usually up and
doing their exercises at the crack
of dawn. The bath is brisk, in.
vigorating shower, and breakfast
beautifully served, Of course, but
consisting of glass of fruit Juice
and q half Of cup Of black cof-
fee, weak tea or milk. Then out
to a waiting car and off to the
studio or location.
Their hairdresser and makeup
artist will take them in hand from
then until they are ready for the
camera. They are given daily
shampoo and hairstyling as well
as facial facial treatments
While there are any number Of
well trained beauticianS and make.
up men, some of the girls like to
do their own making-up. They
make a serious study of every
thing that has to do with their
charm and good looks, and they
have no idle moments.
All of this you may feel is OF
no real help to the girl in the
business or social life; but we be-
lieve you will appreciate the inn
portance of sacrificing some ia'
dulgences and even comforts for
your beauty'S sake. Even though
you are not a screen beauty, your
looks are just as important to you
as the movie stars are to her.
Your facial beauty and your
Shapely figure and charm will
give you the place you desire in
your own sphere. So, when you
find you must neglect some Of
your beauty or exercises routine
for lack Of time, it just means you
are not getting up early enough.
It may mean that you are not
getting enough rest. Why not
have your own beauty routine and
see that nothing interfereS with
your schedule?
The early morning is the best
time to exercise, if one is reduc-
| ing, We do not advocate really
strenuous exercises before going
to bed, as they are apt to prove
too stimulating.
Study your face and you will
be sure to find some little i'm
provement you can make. Your
eyebrows, for instance, may need
new shaping or a more careful
application of the mascara.
You know the idea of careless
elegance went out with the mauve
decade; real beauty is precise and
demands a constant and intellt-
gent upkeep."

dates, or cocoanut added just be.
fore serving gives variety.
The finger rolls were selected
because Jane knew that the frank
furters meant sandwiches. These
smothered in tomato ketchup and
dripping with butter made elegant
sandwiches. Not very elite and
dangerous to eat but very very
good.
We also talked ABOUT what made
a welcome gift to those GONZALES
ing in the hospital. Jane thought
Of fruit. oranges, ETC., but wanted
to be different.
Fruit juice sherbet, brothS Of
various kinds, preferably home
made from chunks Of round
steak, were considered, but she
finally decided that it might be
wise to first talk to the nurse at
the hospital and find out from her
suggestions for supplementing the
routine diet.
I looked at my watch and saw
that it was getting late. AS ]
started to leave, Mary came in.
They both promised another
economy dinner tomorrow.
Pay day is next Tuesday. This
happens to be one of the long
stretches between pay checks.
Economy is to rule in the kitchen
until Saturday.

drinking he told me 1 stood In
the way Of his happiness.
"WOuld It be better to step
aside and let him try and find
happiness with this girl? M"
A girl Of "a is not likely to be
seriously in love with a man Of
So unless he has great wealth or
distinction. And in stepping aside
you are as likely to wreck his
life as your own.
Because they have no resources
but their own emotions, girls
often try all their little bags Of
tricks on some susceptible middle
aged married man-and then
don't know quite what to do
with him.
A man Of So doesn't have the
light heels of "a. The fireside
looks pretty good to him after
the days work. And unless there
is wealth to smooth these Unequal
tiles of age and temperament,
there is very little luster about
these middle-age Lotharios.
Wait a little! Your husband is
likely to have q lucid interval in
which he will see things as they
really are.

SHE HEsITATES
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
81 am not living in my home city,
but In the town where I'm en-
plOyed. A very dear friend has Sug-
geSted he would like to visit me at
my home and meet some Of my
family.
"The problem iS-while I'd love
to see him, / hesitate to let him
come, b. ca use our home is SO
shabby and run down, and there
isn't any money to fix it up. Shall
I tell him this, or would you let
him come and see for himself.
JANE"
People are much less Snobbish
now than they were before the de-
preston came along, to show us
actual face value. And if your
house is clean and in order, what's
q little Shabbiness between friends?
If a lack of luxury is going to
wreck this young mans friendship
for you, do you think it is really
worth keeping?

Tinv Hats

Less and less hat seems to be
the word, for hats become smarter
as they become timer. A tiny
shallow pill-box of black felt
has swirl of cog feathers in a
bright blue and a red band across
the crown. Good for wear with
q suit. :

Tonight when I knocked at
the apartment door, the odor Of
a very familiar vegetable was
waited out, I knew that Jane
must be in the midst Of dinner
preparation.
She called rather warily to ask
who was there and then quickly

POSSESSIVE
Dear Miss Fairfax:

1--WE been her steady for q
year and q half. We've talked
about marriage, but have agreed
to postpone it until ] have a bet
ter job. Recently she went away
on q visit, and wrote me about
dates she had with q boy. Since
then, she insists on dating whom
ever she likes.
"Under these circumstances.
will she remain true and faithful
to me? And will we be able to
carry out the future we planned?
We're both in high school.
&c. D."
If you have no definite plans
for your marriage, and the young
lady is frank with you about
these dates and does not object 20
your taking out other girls, ]
think you should be sufficiently
broad-minded not to raise objec'
tions. BY not restricting your So
ciety strictly to each othre, you
will be able to discover how much
you really care.
