home an aquarium inhabitant. At this
time OF year such water life is not
likely to care for the bracing out-of-
doors. He'd like the trip from the
shop home to be made in comfort from
a fishy viewpoint. Heavy, round waxen
containers make nice carrying cases,
with the top firmly placed. Folding
boxes won't do the trick. Besides

Metabolism is word generally used
in odd places by folks who've read a
medical book. One thing Is clear to
the lay mind; it's q noun. Further,
it's understood too well by some fish
breeders. BY manipulating the process
through oxygen, heat and food, fish
can be forced to do six months grow
ing in a month. Even on a small scale
they're ready for the market sooner
than nature intended. It's well to
stock the fishery from a known, re-
liable dealer, even If its only a bowl
and two fish One may become fond
Of them. While forced fish won't

that Sammy Fish has taken the
proper amount Of time to grow up
or else that he's the type Of creature

out in life for themselves. and they

were just out of school, and look how
happy they have been and how they
prospered.
In those days both men and women
were Injured to work and sacrifices
and to an existence that had few
amusements or diversions in it. OF
luxuries. as We know them. they had
none. When young couple married
they went to little two by-four cot
tage without, likely as not, even a
bathtub or running water or a gas
stove. The wife did the cooking,
washing and scrubbing. patching and
baby-tending, and their only amuse-
ment was what they found within
their homes. They were happy and
contented because they had been ac-
customed to nothing better.
But you would be miserable under
such conditions. You cannot imagine
life being tolerable that has not in

Makeup Is
For Evening Wear
With Sparkling
Sequin Gown.

BY ELSIE PIERCE.

HE glamOrous modern who wears
glittering sequins owns at least
two complete sets of makeup, one for
daytime and one for evening. Day.
light makeup must differ very def
nitely from evening makeup, because
artificial lights extract the blue from
ones color. More makeup and more
brilliant coloring is, therefore, neces-
sary for evening wear. That is a
basic rule Of makeup.
This season the difference is even
more marked One of the leading
makeup influences for daytime is a
cyclamen pink complexion inspired by
the lovely but difficult-t -to-wear pinkish
mauve shade sponsored by Paris cou-
turiers. This mauve shade is used as
a vivid accessory or a thrilling con-
trast with black and the new make
up makes black, white and all the
lovely new fabric shades with under
tones Of blue vastly becoming.
For evening. all is glitter, and the
new idea is based on the premise that
two cosmetics are better than one.
Over a foundation, golden suntan
shade Of powder is applied, and over
this a delicate mauve tint is smoothed
on. Then comes a clear red lipstick.
without blue or yellow undertones, and
rouge to match. Then golden eye
shadow Is applied over the entire up
per lid and over this lovely greenish-
blue shadow smoothed near the lashes
only. And . clear, subtle red shade
Of nail polish fiecked with silver.
For all its glitter. the makeup is
neither too harsh, nor too glaring, nor
cheap. One who wears sequins, and
wears them with an air, will find the
same generous, high-spirited charm in
this new evening makeup.
Just word of warning about "un-
derneath it all" Just as it takes a
good figure to do justice to nodded,
besequined gown, so it takes a clear,
translucent skin to form the lovely
foundation for the glittering makeup.
Remember that makeup in our mod
ern day and age is intended to glorify
to enhance beauty, not to conceal
flaws.

you couldn't breathe. You couldn't

" HERE are right and wrong
methods Of changing the gold
fish bowl. Method number
one. approved by the club of
bumpers down. -the-drain, consists of
selling the bowl firmly and pouring off
the top. The second is that of dipping
the water out with cup. Sammy fish
either dives through the fingers down
the drain or somehow or other wanders
into the cup, and so to the basin and
down the pipes. From then on his
owner is full fledged club member.
Sometimes the business goes on for
weeks with never mishap. Then,
because it's the exception which makes
the rule, Fishy takes a dive and
mother spends the rest Of the after
noon trying to find an exact duplicate
Of sisters fish before she returns from
school.
Two procedures are in order. Either
buy fish which can be easily matched
or do the draining properly with a
siphon. That's name covering any,
thing from plain hose which does
the job to an elaborate contraption
especially designed with draining
aquariums in mind
A small piece Of hose will do if the
fish are too large to enter the end.
Fill 1t with water. Pinch both ends.
Drop one extremity into the fish
domicile and the other over the edge
into basin near the floor. Water will
run up the tube, over and out Squeeze
the hose in the middle when enough
water has passed. Don't empty the
bowl completely. OF course the phone
might ring, but remember the fish!
siphons are constructed with special
glass ends and arrangements for small
fish. Some are meant to drain the dirt
and sand. They're inexpensive and
simple to use If the fish bowl must be
changed.

WHEN a bachelor invites you to tea
or whatever it is your particu-
lar bachelor friends invite you to-it's
awfully hard to know how much help
he'd like you to give him. As q woman,
We always have q feeling that some
thing Is expected Of us-something in
the way of tea pouring, or sugar pass
ing. or even dish washing. But usu-
ally We just say half heartedly, May
I help?" and the bachelor says half
heartedly, mo, can manage" And
there the matter ends. He comes
stumbling in with napkins between his
teeth. and tea cups perched precari-
ously on top of each other. And we
let him. We figure it's his home and
that must be his way Of doing things.
We still think that Is the only sue
cessful attitude that girls like us can
take at = bachelors affair. Now there
are some girls who can very inob-
trusively. without making the bachelor
think shes doing q thing, serve the
entire tea, and wash up all the tea
cups for him afterward. But this is
= special art. Unless you are very
skilled at 1t. It's best just to act the
part OF q guest, no matter what hap
pens. and let your bachelor friend do

More Than Just Love Necessary
To Make Marriage Success.

not support wife. What do you
think? Can We two step out in the

have always depended upon our par
ents until now?
UNDECIDED LARRY.
Answer-Of course, 1t will be pos
sible for two youngsters. one in her
teens and the other barely out of his,
to cut loose from the parents who
have always supported them and marry
and make q success of it, but the
chances are 30 enormously against it
that it isn't even a sporting PROPOSE
ton. So my earnest advice to you is
to listen to your parents counsel and
wait until you have at least learned to
stand on your own feet and proved that
you are able to support a wife before
you take one.

know. You haven't any idea that liv-

Through his performance in yes terday's game, Hubbell tied the rec ord set in 1911 by another famed Giant hurler, Rube Marquard. The win was the fourth for Hubbell this season.
