GlOrifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Stan Writer

 Now and then every woman, rec gardless of her regular beauty routines, has to employ e special one to correct or to conceal an inc dividual defect.
 For instance, if the cold you've caught the day of the party makes your eyes watery and your nose red. you ought to know how to hide these conditions.
 Take a bath in tepid water. A very hot one will tend to make your face redder than 1t is. See that the bathroom is quite warm, 50 you won't catch more cold, and don't stay in the tub more than five or six minutes.
 This is one time when you shouldn't use a mask or Q prepar- ation which tends to increase cir- culation in your face. Instead, clean face and throat and smooth on your richest night cream before yOu b~vaiSs ANAWhku, phb OLl little more cream, rinse your eyes with a ssoothing lotion, cover them with cotton pads that have been dipped in the lotion, then lie down for half an hour. Bathing your eyes, keeping them covered with wet pads and resting for a half an hour are the most important steps in this routine.
 When you get Up, remove night cream and apply skin tonic or mild astringent. Let it dry before you smooth on foundation lotion. If your face is quite flushed from coughing and sneezing, use rouge very sparingly. If foundation and powder won't conceal the redness of your nose, put bit of your blemish- concealer cream on 1t be- fore you powder. Spray your nose and gargle your fayorite mouth wash before you go out. And don't stay at the party longer than you have to. Sleep and rest are the best remedies for a cold.

Glanporous Styles For Birthday Ball

Birthday Ball at the Waldorf-AS- toria, January 30.
 With many of Manhattan's fore most designers concentrating on evening modes which will make their debut at the Waldorf celebra-. ton. the party is holding the sar- torial as well as social spotlight.
 Previews of several of the most important collections disclose that the newest styles for starlight wear have recaptured the glamorous grace of the gowns that whirled to the measures of Straus waltzes in nineteenth century Vienna.
 Searched nets and chifons, white and pastel colored organzas, and stifYcncd laces arc the important fabrics and skirts swirl to unmcas- urablc lengths.
 One interesting gown, chosen by New York debutante for the ball, is of hyacinth blue starched chiffon with inset panels of dusky pink and with a skirt measuring no less than twenty yards.
 Among others that will sway to the music of famous night club or- chestras on January 30 is one that definitely reverts to an earlier cen- tury with bands of crinoline to em- phasize the width of It's black lace skirt.
 A fetching model of pale blue marganza is notable for a bodice formed almost wholly of pink chif- ion chrysanthemunls and one Of coarse starched net plaided in gray and blue has huge cluster of red carnations splashed diagonally from the left shoulder to the high waist line.

 Whenever there is a shortage of platelcts in the blood, bleeding will occur almost spontaneously, parti- cularIy from the mucous membranes in the nose and mouth as well as elsewhere in the body. There will al- so be bleeding underneath the skin, giving the appearance of bruising.
 Certain forms of this condition are of definite origin. They are known, for example, to be aSso- ciated with poisoning by certain drugs of the benzol type or with poisoning that results from the action of certain types of germs. such as those of diphthcria, tuberculosis, and occasionally the streptococcW.
 Sometimes such cases follow poisoning by the drugs used in the treatment of syphilis. Occasionally, also, the number of platelets will be decreased as a result of some action on the obne marrow, in which the cells giving ise to the platcletS are formed.
 Thus, 6 lessened number of pIatelets may be due either to q retarded formation of the cells or a toxic action which destroys cells too rapidly.
 One of the reasons why platclcta are associated with the control of bleeding fig the fact that their number tends to increase when ever slight hemOrrhage starts in the body Of A normal person.
 If there has been an extensive attack on the blood forming or gans. the decrease in the number of platelcts is associated with the lessening of the number of red and white blood cells as well.
 There are many instances in which reduction in the number of platelets occurs only at intervals, 70 that, between these intervals Ehe bleeding does not occur.
 The condition occurs most com monty in persons between 12 and 26. It may occur, however, at other ages as well. Sometimes the con dition comes on very gradually. sc that 1t is not possible for the vic- tim to say just when 1t began, al- though he has rather definite idea as to when the first scrioui symptoms were noticed.
 There are cases which are gt severe that the victim bleeds h death in a few days or weeks. IT other instances, the condition goci on throughout life without evei becoming serious enough to cause death. There are still other case in which the diseaSe continues fol many years and then seems grad iially to disappear.
 Many different methods hay' been discovered for treating suci patients, with view to helping. 1 not curing, them. one of the simp Lest methods B the injection o hfDod directly into the body: some efnes into the veins, sometimes in e the muscles. or under the skin.

ment of diseases, particularly those affecting the blood.
 Use of the venom of the mocca- = Sin snake also has been found to be Of value in some cases where previous tests were made.
 In severe cases, removal of the spleen by surgical operation has been shown to be of value and the operation has been used in hun dreds of cases, apparently to ad- vantage in most instances.
 Still other methods involve the taking of large amounts of vitamin c and the fcding of a high vita min dict generally.
 AS has been pointed out, there seem to be many different varic- ties of this condition and most of the methods of treatment are con sidcrcd to be experimental for the individual case.

SOME writers have . tendency to V make too frequent use of the comma, but how important the comma can be is illustrated by c document discovered few years ago in Spain, which seemed to show that Sir Walter Raleigh was not, as Is generally supposed, the first to introduce tobacco to Europe.
 The document was . will drawn in the year l623, more than half . cSns tury before Sir Walter smoked hig first pipe. The testator named as one of his heirs Q man seemingly des- cribed as Antonio, tobacco mer. chant of Lisbon." Closer examina. ton of the will, however. convinced scholars that the proper reading was Antonio 1'obasso, merchant of Lisbon." Thus the placing of . comma threatened to deprive Raleigh of his fame as the patron saint of tobacco.

PURSUING THAT WINTER

 Aside from the quest of cooler and damper climate which, as de- scribed in the foregoing article on winter cough, one may find in Florida, New Mexico, Arizona, Old Mexico or Southern California. or manufacture in ones own home or place of business anywhere. thanks to the efficient a!r- conditioning in- stallations nowavailablc.
 Aw, I've run out of breath and besides they tell me you news paper readers have twelve-year- old's intelligence yuotient and will not understand sentences that con- tain more than dozen words.
 And the hints on posture to aid drainage from the bronchial tubes or chest. aS given in the same talk, there are a few other things I'd do. think, if I had winter cough (chronic bronchitis) with or with out emphysema tballooning of por- tions of the lungO or bronchiecta- sis tdilation or ballooning of some of the bronchial tubes).
 Food. think I'd eat much as you and I and the next fellow cat now taking special pains to sec that my vitamin intake were optimal particularly vitamin B, 50 impor. tant for good nutritious, and vita. D, which I believe is far more i'm. portant than vitamin A for any one with respiratory trouble, chils or adult. Tn fact the more we learI labout vitamins and their functioni the less believe in vitamin A ant the more :. believe in vitamin D The pleasantcst. most cconomica and perhaps the most efficient wa. to get vitamins B and D to supple rnent the diet( nearly all ordinar. diets are poor in vitamin B an, vitamin D., is in the form of ira diatcd yeast tablets. Ordinary yeas tablets arc rich sources of vita min B: by irradiating with certaii wave lengths of ultraviolet vitamil D is imparted to the yeast Ira dated yeast tablets arc good eat ing anyway, when chewed by them selves, though one may swallow them whole If one prefers.
 Clothing.

Always bearing fl mind that all clothing is rather 1 handicap on health and in any cir cunstances the least one can wea and get by s always the best iron the hygienic viewpoint. It is cer tainiy beneficial to health to c without clothing whenever Q ,, wherever 1t may be possible to d 50 with comfort. On the other ham 1t is ag certainly injurious to healtl to wear any more clothing thai { actual comfort demands. So far Q bronchial trouble may be concerned there is little hope for sufferer who c0ddle.

 Injuries He Suffered
 Upon admittance to the hospital last night, officials said Maxwell was suffering from severe scalp and head decorations, and 8 possible fractured skull, and a possible fractured thigh. His name was placed immediately on the danger list, and hope for his life despaired.

 Although born in Watertown, Max well had been a lifelong resident of this city. He was an employe of the Scovill Mfg. company, and an ardent huntsman. He had lived at his latest address little more than a year.
 Survivors include his wife, Hem rietta (Walsh) Maxwell; one son, Thomas Francis; his father, Will liam Maxwell; and five brothers, James, Francis, John oswald and Charles, all of this city.

NEW AUDITORIUM
 AT CONN. COLLEGE

New London, Conn., Oct. 18-(UP) After long consideration, the trus- tees of Connecticut college decided today to locate the new Frank Loomis Palmer auditorium on the southeast section of the campus, south of Tanning hall, the admin istration building.
 This will complete 6 line of buill- ings on the east side of the campus, leaving open the view of New Lon don harbor and Long Island Sound.
 Funds for the new building were bequeathed by the late Miss Vir- ginia Palmer. Her $500,000 bequest was the largest gift to the college except for the original million dol- lars contributed by the late Com- modore Morton F. Plant. Plans for the structure are being prepared and construction will start in the spring. Estimated to seat at least 1,200, 1t will be ready for use in the spring of 1889.

 The youth, who will be arraigned at Portland tomorrow charged with the murder of Dr. Littlefield's wife, was ordered held without bail for the Oxford County Superior Court which convenes Nov. 2.
 In his previous confession to North Arlington, N. J., police, Dwyer had said he killed the doctor because of a disparaging remark the latter made regarding 8 girl friend.
 The cortroom, with seats for only 35, held 150 spectators, with hun- dreds more gathered outside, when the lanky defendant rose in the prisoners cage and with head hung, said mot guilty" in voice scarcely above whisper.
 Presiding was Judge Harry Shaw, for whom Dwyer had caddied dur ing many 8 round of golf at Norway Country Club.
 Dwyer waived hearing and the session soon was over.
 Earlier the boy had stubbornly refused to see former county-attor- ney E. Walker Abbott who last night was appointed by the court as defense counsel. But on reaching the courthouse, Dwyer capitulated and conferred briefly with his law- yer before arraignment.

 Real Worry There
 No move in the international field is planned until after the Nine- Power Treaty conference. While he has urged Americans, in effect, to trust papa" to keep them out of war, Roosevelt will move cautiously and with full respect for those who oppose his recent movements.
 At the same time therd is real worry in the White House -State Department area. over the threat of Japanese subjection of China. No one can yet tell how much the ad- ministration might want to do about 1t in the long run.
