When circulation is at low
par, the skin is pale, and notice
ably in the winter time the lips
go from purple to blue. The nose
is very apt to be red, and the
hands show a network of veins
that are a real detriment to
beauty.
Stimulating
Worst of all, the stinging shiv.
ers catch you at off moments and
take your breath away at the most
embarrassing moment, and poise
slips completely out of control.
But the cold shower is a sure
and tried friend, and brings back
the old familiar pulse beat, the
youthful bloom to the cheeks and
an exhilaration to the spirits that
may be most valuable Of all.
Whatever the outside tempera-
ture. the cold shower should go
down on all beauty programs as
a beauty rite. without good cir
culation, many minor beauty ills
develop. We grow sluggish and
seek warm corners. We become
the victim of our own inactivities.
One may be too lazy to exercise,
but she should never grow too IN
dolent to keep her circulation
normal. The cold shower and a
dose of fresh air to clean out her
lungs will go a long way toward
doing this.
Cold water treatment has been
proven an excellent treatment for
the face. Skin of the finest tex
ture is preserved and strengthened
by the ice cube facials that are
so popular. Do not use the ice
directly against the skin, but place
the ice cube in wash cloth or a
few folds Of soft facial gauze.
Then dip it in a bowl OF ice water

UNTHINKABLE
Dear Miss Fairfax:

"DeaF MISS FAu1aX:
"My first marriage, which was
very unhappy, owing to my huS-
bands continual drinking and
gambling, was ended by divorce
three years ago. have never had
any aIimOny from him or any sup
port for my little girl, now six
years of age. I'm not one Of the
helpless sisterhOOd. have always
been able to earn a good living
as a stenOgrapher.
at looked as if all my troubles
were at an end when 1 became en-
gagged several months ago, to a
man who seemed in every way de-
sirabIe. He has a nice home, is
highly intelligent, and has no bad
habits. / was shocked beyond
words when he suggested to me,
the other evening, that / give my
little daughter back to her father,
saying that If we should have any
children of our own, the presence
of a stepchild in the family might
cOmpIicate things.
"The thought that my daugh-
ter might not be welcome in our
home is disturbing. 1 should never
think of sending her back to her
father, even if he would receive
her. He is now married to a
woman no better than himSelfI
and the prospect Of a child grow
ing up in such a household is i'm
possible. 1 have determined to
break my engagement. Don't you
think it's the wiSeSt course?
"DISILLUSIONED."
Be thankful that you discovered
this yellow streak in the mans
character before, rather than
after, you married him. To turn
a child adrift, away from her
own mother, into such a house
hold as you describe or an or
phanage, if her father were not
willing to receive her, is unthink-
able. And a man with even a
fraction of q heart wouldn't Sug-
gest such q. thing.
agree heartily with your de
cision that the engagement had
better be broken.
The Washington times., 1937-01-16
SWITCHED RINGS
"Dear Miss Fairfax:


"She was different from any
woman / had ever met before.
Pretty, fascinating, and never
talked about herself. That was
the trouble. If she had nay fam
lily connections, she never men,
toned them. Though she was
called Miss I believe she had
been married. asked her if she'd
ever been married, and she said:
DO you want to write biography
of me?'
Christmas of 1885 we ex-
changed rings; 1 gave her my
class ring, she gave me Chinese
ring which she said she got in
China. Not q word Of why she
went to China. When / called
her q lady of mystery she just
laughed. She doesn't pet, drinks
next to nothing, smokes q good
deal. We parted, and later met
again.
"I'd like to ask this girl to
marry me, but / must say I'd
want to know something about
her past, her family, if any, and
how she happened to be in China,
before making her my wife. And
then, of course, don't know
whether she'd take me or not.
''PERPLEXED ROMEO"
No rational man wishes to in
still an incarnate mystery in his
home as his wife. Probably you've
tried to draw her out by telling
her things about your family and
background, and it hasn't worked.
If you intend to marry the faS-
cinating unknown, you'd better,
in your most tactful manner, ask
for a few facts. If she doesn't
intend to marry you, she's at lib
erty to continue the mystery.
If she does, a few details as to
whether she has been married CT
not, her family name, etc., are
in order.

FOR YOUR THROAT

EO@ 4OO@ 4nnOA4
THERE'S a new cream out
for your throat-included
in one of the most popular
cosmetic lines that is sold in
town. Throats are so much a
part of beauty, such a charm
when they are young, so tell
tale when they start showing
signs of age, that you should
give special care to your throat.
This cream is called Special
Formula Cream, and it is for
the purpose of preventing hnes,.
and of helping to eradicate
small lines that may have al
ready formed. It will do much
for that crepey look in the
throat and will prevent sagging
muscles. You can also use it
for the lines around your eyes,
both to prevent crows feet, and
to tighten them if they have al
ready formed. This is a par
ticularly t rich, nourishing
cream, and one that will give
you benefit as long as you use
it. You get large jar, six to
eight months supply for So,
and now is the time to start
using it, when rough weather
dries the skin, and your throat
will probably need extra nour-
ishment.

TT ISN'T often that a really first
l. rate person in the beauty world
comes to town, and will give con.
Sultations, but next week one OF
the better known women will be
here, and will discuss problems Of
beauty during Monday and Tues
day. You must call for an ap-
pointment, Of course, as she will
be very busy. She's known for
her own personal Charm, as well
as for her ability to irnpart the
graces to others, and has made
over" a good many people, giving
general advice that was valuable,
as well as prescribing merely for
compilations. Her innate urge to
serve feminine beauty started her
on her career in the first place,
and she supplemented it by a
quest for scientific truths. She
studied under the best men in
Vienna and Paris, before she
started, and she also was quite an
artist herself, which gave her q
double advantage. She set up her
business in New York, and soon
had many of the most prominent
women in the city coming to her.
She is insiStent on only the pureSt
chemicals going into her products
and she has originated many new
ideas that have proven beneficial
to as many people. 1t is indeed a
rare occasion for us to have her
in Washington, and all of us who
have beauty problems should avail
ourselves of the opportunity to
consult her. But remember-tele-
phone for an appointment. for she
will be busy.

Withdrawal Explained.
NEW YORK, September R.-
Hearst Publications, Inc, last night
hs1ed = statement that, In asking
permission to withdraw q registration
statement for \ s22, SOC, 900 debenture
issue. granted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, its reasons had
been:
THE market for industrial deben-
lures was turning less favorable at
the time Of filing and has continued
less favorable up to the present tire.
Our proposed underwriters have,
therefore, not been IN position to
market the debentures ut an interest
rate and 1T an Underwriting COM
mission which we considered attrac-
tive.
In the meantime we have been
meeting regularly the payments on
our old long-term debt, thus reduc-
ing the net amount outstanding from
$l8, ,776. 7o6.s6 (pro forma consolidated
bssis) at December 81, 1895. to
6,549, 54l.7S at the date OF this
letter. Some reduction has also been
made in our interest bearing current
obligations.
AS 4 result the amount Of the
debentures which, ultimately, we may
wish to sell may be substantially
changed, and when such time arrives
We may wish to issue securities with
different provisions and of 4 differ
ent type than those described in our
persent registration statement
In the case of the magazine issue
4 similar letter was sent The reduc-
ton OF the funded debt was not 20
large. but more than half of the
funded debt has been paid since the
