to wash them well, boil them with the

took it for granted that We were to

Is not that we want to be spongers,

TRANCE Sounds Sometimes Atcoke Is Not Artchoke
OperaStar's
Definition
Of Charm
Brief Outline of Her
Own Beauty Routine
Also Given.
BY ELSIE PIERCE,

EvERY so often young girls write me
asking for a success formula for
popularity. Girls in their teens are
more interested in being popular than
in being beautiful. I am, therefore,
particularly happy TO pass on Miss
Elisabeth Rethberg's definition Of
popularity. This beloved soprano Of
the Metropolitan Opera Co. has known
true popularity. People who talk to her
or even stand around her are always
smiling. She Is always surrounded
by admiring groups. And she believes
that "in order to be popular a girl
must have something to give to the
people about her"
Every girl" says Nine. Rethberg,
'has some special gift or particularly
attractive quality. She should get to
work and develop this gift until she
stands out above the average. Then
people will notice her and be inter-
ested in here. 1t is not enough to be
good looking or to dance well. Looks
and little social graces help, of course,
but they must be supplemented by
something else. In addition, one must
perhaps be a good conversationalist.
or play, or sing, or excel in athletics.
or have some hobby that one is abb
sorbedly interested in. Next, and very
important, comes willingness to ex-
ercise ones talent for the engagement
Of others. The important thing is to
rise above the level of the average in
some one hobby at least-and, Of
course. to be friendly and have an
amiable disposition"
To my mind, Nine Rethberg has
outlined here very important ele.
ment Of charm. Cultivation of hob
bies is in itself a tremendous beauty
asset. It stimulates ones interest,
keeps one alert, eyes sparkling, spirit
soaring.
On the subject Of beauty, Nine.
Rethberg says: Making yourself
beautiful is like setting out on q
grand adventure, knowing you will
return happier and richer. Experi-
ment wisely; determine what is best
for you and will bring out the best
in you. You can work miracles with
yourself. patience ana lmaglndIlon
can help YOU"
She feels that simple, healthful
beauty methods are best. She herself
uses a fine cleansing cream, followed
by soap and water. Occasionally she
washes the face with warm milk, then,
uses some kind of astringent to tone
the skin. She uses tissue cream at
night, concentrating on the wrinkle
areas"
She always devotes five minutes
after rising to setting-up exercises and
indulges in some sport all year
round-skiing in Winter, swimming or
rowing in Summer, horseback riding.
cycling and hiking.

You probably were not around

Seal observed.
Tydings sought to show that the
operation Of the Benning slaughter
house would tend to reduce the cost
of meat in Washington, but through
out long questioning Corporation
Counsel Seal declined to agree to that
conclusion.
Il thoroughly sympathize with the
esthetic views OF the opposition to
the abattoir, but there ought to be
weighing of the advantages with
the disadvantages, Tydings added.
When the Marylander asked Seal to
what extent the abattoir might reduce
the cost Of meat locally. the corpora
ton counsel said he did not believe
the proposed plant would be large
enough to make difference to the
city's price level.
Tydings did some mathematical
problems with suggested meat-prod-
uct outputs to bolster a claim that
proposed daily slaughterings of steers
at the plant would produce enough
meat to give one-tenth pound per
person per week. He then did some
more calculating to show that the
total proposed slaughterings of all
kinds Of meat would give 2 pounds
per capita.
