 You might begin by presenting each man in your family with @ set of toiletries which includes after shaving lotion as well as talcum powder and shaving soap. This is a perfectly irnocuolls beauty pres- ent, and not one recipient will think it's sissy, And once they start using after-shaving lotion and talcum powder, the way is paved for a sug- gestion or two about scalp tonic.
 A weekly shampoo is one thing, but wetting the hair every time one combs 1t is quite another. The latter harsh treatment tends to dry out both hair an d scalp, is more than likely to cause dandruff, in one form or another. If you can get the apple of your eye to substitute scalp tonic for water, then to massage this in briskly before cofnbing, his chances of losing his hair eventually or of having white fiecks on his coat col- lars are infinitely less.
 Anyway, make your little speech about healthy hair, then put bottle of tonic right next to the face lotion and powder.

Paris Style Chats
BY DOROTHY CAIaEW United Press Stan COrrespondent)

NOMAS0W @Av"~ 0e~A SvAASSPvsa~vAAV
 Paris-Chic accessories shown for winter in Paris fashion houses are an integral part of the costume, fol- lowing the theme of the ensemble not only in color but in fabric as well, and they often carry through the motif of trim on dress or coat.
 Fur hats with fur coats are used in many of the leading houses and some show Q touch of fur--or even fox tails-on hats to blend with coat trim. Hats in the same fabric as sports suits are decidedly smart and frequently the trim of the dresses is repeated on the hat and bag worn with the costume.
 Suzanne Talbot shows a set of bag and gloves in figured Renaissance velvet for afternoon. Accessory shops make bags and gloves of matching feathers with novelty trims in the same theme, and belts and bags are popular in sets for sports, afternoon or evening wear.
 If your frock has e peasant ern- hroidery theme for trim, 1t may Do continued effectively with matching embroidered hat and bag, or # 6 leaf motif IS appliqued in leather on dress, bag and shoes may repeat the trim.
 Smart little sports hats follow the fabric of daytime suits with trim of the same material as the sweater or blouse, and combinations of bolt, bag and shoes may be worked out in harmony,
 Muffs that follow the fur or fabric of Q coat are shown to serve double purposes as hand bags or again, by virtue of hidden fasteners, they may be transformed Into fur collars or sets of pockets for plain coats.
 Gloves may pick up the lame trim of an afternoon dress, the vel- vet of handsome suit, or, of suede, may accent a note of trim used on the dress,

Slenderness in the middle aged woman Is more than Q necessity. It Is Q form of health insurance. After forty too many calories are like too many worries-they tear c woman down. When she has reached forty, Q woman has developed fully and does not need calories to build her up.
 Light eating makes for light spirits past forty. That of course does not mean starvation. It means intelligent selection of foods that provide not only necessary minerals vitamins and calories, but also enough enjoyment to make life pleasant. The main thing is that the organism must not be overtaxed and dietary fads be avoided, She must be fed, but not too much. Sht must satisfy her normal appetite but avoid indulgence.
 Too Little Exercise
 The tendency with most people after forty is to do less exercising than they have been used to do- ing and at the same time to cal just as much as formerly. These older people also tend as Q rule to develop high blood pressure because of this over-eating and lack of normal exercise,
 Diet to people past forty Is Just as necessary to Q comfortable and pleasant life as a steady income Largely avoid such foods as rici1 pastries, excessive sweets, cereals white bread, potatoes, heavy cream rich sauces, butter in excess, alcohol hors doeuvtes such as salted nuts crackers, popcorn, potato chips Foods that are too salty and over- spiced do not belong In the diet foi the woman who believes that life begins at forty.

In 1924 Trumbull, then seventy
years old, journeyed to Washing

great work was finished but his
eventful career was far from end

came adjutant of Connecticut

TrumbulI learned that he wished

against the British in Rhode Is
land. When it proved unsuccess-
full, Trurnbull returned to Bos-
ton, resolved to give up his ca
reer as a soldier permanently and
devote his life to painting.
In May, 1880, he sailed for Paris
where he called on Benjamin
Franklin and told him of his de-
sire to study under the great Ben
janin West in London. Armed
with a letter Of introduction he
went to London and West put him
to work.
When Major Andre, the British
acknowledgement in America, was
caught and hanged, the young
painter who had been an Ameri-
can acknowledgement, seemed to
the British to be the logical man
to be used for reprisal. Trumbull
might well have pleaded that
there was little similarity between
his case and Andres, that he was
in London only as a painter and
that he was there by permission
Of Lord German, the British for
eign minister. Instead, the trucu-
lent young Yankee boasted that
he had been aide to that "arch
REBEL" George Washington, and
that he was proud of it.
Confined in Tuthill Bridewell,
Trurnbull may have had some un-
easy moments as to what his fate
would be. But if he did have them,
he gave no sign and calmly went
on with his painting. Meanwhile,
his Tory friends, West and Copley,
were working in his interests and

to some of the leading French
painters and sculptors.
For some time Trumbull had
been planning to paint the most
important scene in the history of
the Revolution--the Signing of
the Declaration Of independence.
There in the home of its author,
and aided by that authors sugges-
tions, he made the first sketches
of the picture. Returning to Lon
don Trumbull arranged the COM
position SO that ne could add the
portraits of the signers as the op-
portunity offered. John Adams
was just leaving his post as am
bassador to the Court of st. James
and his was the first portrait
