Manners
of the
Moment

WOMEN in department store eleva-
tors certainly can think up the
most annoying tricks One of the worst
is the trick Of asking at every floor
II this is the one. Sometimes the lady
is looking for lingerie and sometimes
its more mplicated-like leather
trimmed lamp shades. And at each
floor she repeats the whole thing and
wants to know of the elevator girl if
this is the floor for it. At the first stop
the elevator girl says politely: That's
on the seventh, madam" At the next
stop she says: mo, the seventh" After
that she just says NO Sometimes
the lady catches on that her floor is
the seventh 50 she will switch her
question to: "Ls this the seventh
door?"
Perhaps every one should join the
elevator girl in the chorus: mo,
madam, it's on the seventh" That
might liven things up bit. You could
work up little sing song for it. But
probably the only effective method OF
handling these repeaters is to clamp a
frm hand over their mouths.

up for two years or more-then it
should be lifted, thoroughly cleaned,
and relaid by a reliable firm.
Oh, yes, there Is plenty to do! And
just a few little tricks can make the
doing quite bit easier. For instance,
put all the wicker furniture out in
the yard and turn the hose on 1t, as
the best way OF giving 1t thorough
cleaning. TheEe are all sorts Of moth
proof boxes, portable closets chests
and bags that take care of Winter
"woolies" very successfully. (Only
be sure that everything placed in them
has been washed or cleaned, to de-
stroy all possibility Of moth eggs.
There are gadgets to hang in closets
to offer further protection against
the pests; there are steamers" that
do neat, amateur job OF fumigating;
and there are the wonderful hampers
that you can order from a storage
concern that will hold practically
everything you want to keep safe from
moths. and that will be fumigated at
regular intervals during the Summer
months while 1t Is kept in the ware
house. You keep the key to the tiny
paddock, and should you decide to 90
to the North Pole at moments
notice in July the hamper Is readily
available, and at your service. This
Is, perhaps, one Of the best solutions
for the person who dwells in a very
small house or apartment. and has 4
hard time finding space enough to tuck
away the Winter things in mothproof
containers.
THIS is, Of course, the ideal time to
rearrange the furniture for the
Summer More and more people are
doing this, and have come to enjoy
and appreciate the change. Every
one gets tired Of seeing the same old
things in the same old places every
day-and q general shift offers a
real relief. Also. where you have
been featuring your fireplace in your
Winter Setting-now you will want to
make your grouping around wide win
dows, or some other cool and invit-

Every one knows what the Summer

100 Per Cent.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

SILVIA SIDNEY is supposed to have
perfect face Her chin 10 the
hairline is three times the length of
her nose. The distance between her
eyes equals the width of an eye. Space
between lower and upper lid equals
that between upper lid and brow.
Eyebrows start on the same line as
inner corner of the eye. Her face is
exactly twice as wide as the length
Of her nose Perfect dimensions for
the perfect oval.
And this screen star, she Of the
perfect face, says
Il believe that every girl owes 1t
to herself and the world that has TO
look at her to make the very best Of
herself and her appearance. There
is no girl, no matter how plain who
cannot improve her appearance 100
per cent with little care and atten-
ton to the three C's-clothes, COM
pleXion and coiffure."
If you know your lines, choose
your clothes carefully. wear them with
an air, they can help immeasurably
to make you look like somebody
A lovely complexion is the first
requisite of beauty. and makeup
cleverly employed can point up
ones good points and make the face
look more nearly perfect
The coiffure. too, not only shows
up beautiful hair, but properly ar
ranged helps to create optical illu-
sions.
Miss Sidney says: IT always
cleanse my face thoroughly with a
light cleansing cream. When the
skin is clean and thoroughly dry, I
massage my face and neck with an
ice cube covered with a linen cloth.
This makes the skin look lively and
healthy"
She uses very little makeup be-
cause she prefers to give her skin
a rest from the heavy make neces-
sary in pictures A powder founda-
ton very lightly used, rachel powder
and bright lipstick are all she uses
for general, daytime wear. More for
evening.
She says she knows OF nothing
except health and plenty of rest to
keep the eyes bright and shiny. A
boric acid solution as an eye wash
and witch hazel pads to help rest the
eyes.
She has no problem keeping slender.
Her waist is 81 inches. She weighs
l03 pounds and is 5 3. In Hollywood
she rides horse back in New York
she walks. These are practically her
only exercises and she feels that any
light exercise is good-"But don't
make a chore of it. Stop exercising
before you feel tired" She feels mas
sage is best for whiting down hips
and proper diet and posture even
better than exercise for waist.

convincing appearance OF being to-

in search of cleansing cream and a
nourishing cream that have been Gre

story.
The new principle involved. with a
rather formidable scientific name
which we will omit, was discovered by
a research chemist while working with
physician along totally different
lines. One day he found that he had
produced substance that was capa-
bic of dissolving grease and wax such
as often accumulates in the pores Of
the skin and finally clogs them into
tiny hard "whiteheads He was so
intrigued with the discovery that
there flashed through his mind the
vision OF woman before her mirror
dipping her fingers into a jar of fluffy
cream to cleanse her face-a cream
that contained his precious discovery
and that could do SO much for her
skin.
Followed long months Of more re-
search with this definite thought in
mind, blending the new product with
this and that, until at last the re-
suits were satisfactory. The deep pore
cleanser instantly liquefles when ap-
piled and should be left on for sew

complex way the new element in this

know? asks mother.
Well, think that every girl should
be given the best education possible
because being a woman Is the most
complicated job on earth and the one
that requires the most knowledge.
Every woman needs q cultural edu-
cation for the sake Of her own soul.
Then she needs to be q bit Of law
yer, 4 doctor, 4 preacher, = nurse,
a chef, = purchasing agent, = finan-
cier, q social arbiter, = press agent
and few other things In order to
qualify as . first-class member Of
her sex. A man needs to know only
one profession. A woman needs to
know them all.
To begin with, every girl should be
taught some trade or profession
whereby she could support herself
If the need arose. The wheel Of
fortune turns continually, and those
who are up today are down tomorrow.
Rich girls have their fortunes swept
away and become penniless. Hus-
bands who are good money-makers
lose their jobs, or become invalids,
or die. The loss Of property Is
misfortune or a tragedy to woman
according to whether she knows how
to step into the breach and carry on.

livery girl should be taught not
- only to make money. but also
how to take care of 1t and how to
spend it 50 as to get the most out OF
it. Every husbands prosperity de-
pends upon his wife's thrift. If she
is extravagant and wasteful, he can
not get ahead, no matter how hard
he works. Few women want to hand1-
cap their husbands and when q wife
is a spendthrift 1t is almost invariably
because she has never been taught
how to handle money
Every girl should be taught how to
cook and sew. Whatever else 4
woman needs to know in life she
needs to know these two things. If
| she Is poor, they will enable her to
feed and clothe her family with the
least expenditure Of money. If she
Is rich, they will help her to buy
her clothes and order her household
more efflciently. Always there will
be domestic emergencies when q
woman would gladly swap her degree

marry with no more idea OF how to
take care OF baby than they have
Of tanning a lion. They are petriied
with fear lest they break Junior in
two when they give him his first
bath.
THEY do not know what to do in
any emergency. They can't even
tell whether or not a symptom Is
alarming when child isn't well.
They not only enrich doctors and
subsidize nurses by calling them In
when there Is no need, but also they
wear themselves out with uncalled-
for anxieties. Sometimes they let
their loved ones die or some disease
get beyond control because they did
not know enough to get frightened
in time.
In these mechanical days, when
every house is a mass Of electrical
gadgets. how much money and worry
and aggravation 1t would save If every
girls education contained stiff course
in electrical engineering. AS it Is,
all that most women can do when
the egg-beater suddenly ceases to
function, the ice box goes blooey and
something mysterious happens to the
cord Of the iron, is to telephone to the
electrician and wait until he comes,
and, with what seems a magical turn
Of the wrist, sets the darn things 60
ing again. What a saving in time,
patience and money it would be If only
the housewife knew the secret Of this
trick and could do 1t herselfl
In olden times girls were only given
flowery education dealing with the
slegancies Of literature. Then they
went highbrow. Now it Is time for
them to become handy as well as in
telligent and learn how to do the
things they are going to need to know
how to do. DOROTHY DIX.
