CnlnkS To-Day Is q OH OuImOueC
Do you think she is making a
mistake? And which type of girl
do you think is more popular-the
girl who always remembers her
manners, or the give-and-take girl
who forgets all about them? But
read Mary LOUIS letter, which gives
her side of the story.
"Dear Miss Fairfax:
Mother has always insisted that
should be equally nice to all
men-thOSe who bore me so much
that / could scream, and those
whom 1 happen to like. She thinks
it's girls job to like all men, or
at least to seem to, until she mar
ries or becomes engaged.
HER PREFERENCE
"But this business of working
overtime at being sweet and charm
ing to every man who comes along
has got on my nerves. And 1 don't
care whether 1 have the reputation
of being popular or not.
Personally, my preference is
for a caveman, one who will not
be in the least humble when he
comes to court me.
"After this I'm going to let the
other girls do the smiling and flat
tering. For myself, I'm going to
be natural-and if natural means
being rude, can't help it. Any
way, a man who doesn't interest
me isn't going to get a smile, and
the man I spend an evening with
will be one 1 honestly like.
"MOre than likely, shall die
an old maid. MARY LOU"
Mary Lou will probably not
die an old maid; girls who are
natural and independent seldom
do.
Indeed, I wonder that one
doesn't hear this girls complaint
more frequently; that there isn't
a general rebellion against being
too nice, to many hours on a
stretch, to too many young men
who have nothing to recommend
them.
Stuffed Owls
Girls write me letters about
these perennial chairwarmerS
who call but never suggest even
taking them to a movie. They
come to family supper, but never
dream Of bringing a box of
candy, and sit like stuffed owls
and expect to be entertained.
It's queer why some mothers,
like this girls expect their daugh-
tiers to be agreeable to these
Still-life studies; the idea being,
I suppose, that a girl must be
patiently charming to 40 I'm
promising men, in the hope that
the forty-first may prove to be
that Prince Charming of whom
the waiting girl is always dream
ing.
The job of being everyone's
little ray of sunshine isn't as
easy as it looks, and I don't
blame this girl in the least for
deciding to pick and choose her
friends and eliminate the still
life boys. And here's hoping she
finds the cavemen she has been
waiting forI
fashion.

Beauty
Yeast FaciaLs
Refresh
By DONNA GRACE

There is a real tonic and cleans
ing effect in the yeast facials, and
they are one Of the treatments
that any one can do at home.
Begin by cleansing the face
thoroughly with soap and water.
Rinse with clear water and dry.
Then apply a cleansing cream to
soothe the surface and remove all
film from the pores. When the
cream has been spread over the
face and neck, remove it with
your tissues and apply the follow.
ing pack:
2 cakes Of yeast
/ tablespoonful Of milk
/ tablespoonful of corn starch.
Blend together and add enough
milk to the mixture to reduce it
to smooth paste about the con-
siStency of mayonnaiSe. Now
spread the pack over the face and
neck and go on with your mani
cure or anything else you care to
do for 10 minutes. After that re-
move the paste with tepid water
and pat the face dry.
The next step in thorough
Dreaming of the face and neck.
Then remove the cream and pat
on an iced astringent.
Your astringent may be pre-
pared in this way: Put two or
three ice cubes in a bowl and
cover them with a half-cup of
water preferably distilled water),
a teaspoonful of your astringent
or, if you prefer, you may use
witch hazel instead of the astrin-
gent.
Use little fresh pads of absorb
ent cotton in patting on the
aStringent.
You will be delighted with the
refined and cleanSed condition Of
your skin as you apply your
makeup.
'Dear Donna Grace:
II seem to be subject to ring
worms. I have one on my tenn
pie now, and last year one on my
arm. What should / do?
"ELOISE G."
Dear Eloise: Go to your ply
sician at once and let him pre-
scribe treatment. "Ringworms"
is a contagious skin disease, and
one must have proper care for
the good of themselves and for
the protection of others. It will
respond to treatment readily.
Mrs. o. N.-There are indeed
exercises that will positively re-
duce the hips and thighs. One of
them is squatting from standing
position and sitting on the heels
Russian dance fashion-then ex-
tend the legs alternately for 10
counts on each. There are other
good ones in my Normalizing Elk
ercise Chart with the illustrations.
There are other packs you will
like, and you may have those and
the Makeup Chart, If you will
enclose a stamped, self-addressed
envelope for each. Address Donna
Grace, Beauty Editor Of this
paper.

USEFUL in any household Is a
" scissors sharpener. Dull scis.
sors can be put into sharp order
in no time at all, with the small
est gadget you can imagine. It
is just big enough to hold COM
fortably, yet it does a man-sized
job. You merely insert it be-
tween the points of the scissors,
according to directions, and run
it back several times as many
as needed. That's how simple it
is. It SharpenS and bevelS all
shap1s and sizes alike. It is but
S5c. but if you want one plated
in gold, to give as a gift, it can
be obtained for 81. Either finish
Is really a necessity in the average
home. Another useful gadget found
in the same store is an egg
separator which is Csc. Yes, there
are people who just can't separate
an egg successfully! And an egg
breaker for soc that nips the top
right off, completely and in a
sharp line, where you want it.
It's mainly for soft-boiled eggs,
eaten from the shell.

n HE idea of "helping yourself"
4 in q store is rather neD in
Washington, and it has features
uhich you may not hGve thought
of. Besides being q lot of fun to
look through the racks until you
find 1Dhat you like, and try it ON
for yourself, it means that the
cost of the merchandise is con-
SiderGbIy loUer. For instance, in
the shop Downtown that has "SeJ
service," three girls can take care
of whole floor, 10hereGS eight or
ten Mould be required to 1OGtt on
everybody. That extra money
goes into making the clothes lo1Oer
priced. The girls Sho1O you I0here
your size is, tDhere to find each
price, 10rGp your purchase for yoS,
and do anything else necessary,
but you are allotDed to look for
yourself, and try on for yourself.
There's no sales talk either, so
it's all up to you. There are neU
dresses in every morning, and q
rather complete stock of ready to
WeGr. Such things as attractive
little pGntieS can be found for as
lou as Csc, for instance.

Dolls House China

DOLLS House CHINA
EOR the June bride, if you
l. want to give her just a
little but a significant gift
or for your own home, we sug-
gest Dolls House bake wear.
It's in a nice creamy white,
with a dolls house in color,
a wide path going right up to
the door. 1t might be the
brides own cottage, in fact,
and it comes in sets of two
pieces, priced 81 to $1.98.
There are sets of mixing bowl
and spoon, salad bowl and
spoon, and rolling pin and pie
plate, among other things. An
interesting thing about the
rolling pin is that it is hollow,
with a cork in one end, so
that you can fill it with
crushed ice when you roll out
your pie dough, and make
crust "like mother used to
make" That should make for
happiness between any bride
and groom, for such gadget
will make her pie crust sure
to turn out right.
