SING YOUR WAY TO BEAUTY

Popular opinion Notwithstanding,
beauty is more than skin deep. A
flawless skin. glossy hair. and per
lection of feature are to no avail II
lines of petulance, discomfort and
worry have etched their mark on
your face. All your thoughts and
emotions leave their traces on your
face.
And, unfortunately. we don't see
these marks until they have become
too deeply craven for US 10 do much
about them. We very rarely look
in the mirror when we are on the
verge of flying off the handle, or II
we do, we are too busy with our
private grievances to pay any at
tention to what we see. But each
outburst of temper, each needless
hour of worry or discomfort con-
tribute to the general rundown look
of our faces. Serenity is the key
note of beauty and the wise woman
will cultivate a peaceful frame of
mind as assiduously as she goes
about keeping scrupulously clean
and well-groOmed.
Avoid FrownIng
Someone told me that when she
had a disagreeabfe task to perform
and who hasn't at least two or
three day?-she made a point of
singing a gay and cheerful song
while performing the unpleasant
duty. This may sound ridiculous,
and in some cases impossible, but 1t
has sound psychological basis.
Who could let the corners Of her
mouth droop while singing a foolish,
inconsequential ditty? It is an ex-
cellent suggestion for housewives,
who have an aversion TO washing
dishes and moppinR floors. Try 1t
and see how much easier II is to
preserve a feeling of tranquility.
Even the prettiest mouth loses Its
beauty II II drOOps at the corners,
and continual dropping brings about

appeared She often wondered what
had happened to it, because she had
several receipts, bank book, a book of

One day last week it was found az the
base of the ventilator when workmen
tore away part of the bottom section in
an effort to repair it after It had be-

dust, it appearance was the same as
the day it was lost. Inside were all
the papers, receipts and tickets. intact
the day the purse disappeared. Money
which had been contained in a leather
billfold, was missing, however, 1t is
believed the purse was stolen, the
money taken from it and the bag tossed
into the ventilator by the thief.

FITTINGS FOR THE
SEWING ROOM.

What shall I do with my last
winters clothes and how can I make
them presentable for another winter
is thought on the mind of every
woman as winter comes on.
To produce good looking garment,
any SeamstreSS needs good tools. In the
workbaSket there should be pair of
sharp shears, made Of good steel. It is
poor economy to buy cheap shears that
must be sharpened often. Dull shears
often cause serious slips in cutting and
they produce bliSterS on the hand No
shears smaller than finch size should
be used for dresSmaking. A thin1ble
that fits the finger and that is not
sharp on the edge is important Plenty
of steel pins that will not leave rust
spots on the material, an assortment
of needles, size six and eight, tailor'S
chalk for marking goods, a tracing
wheel CT the best steel, pin cushion,
and a good tape measure, so inches long
with numbers that start at one end on
opposite sides are needed.
Other essentials are table space or a
lapboard, a rule or yardstick, smooth
iron, a well-padded ironing board,
pressing cloths, a sewing machine and
perhaps full-length mirror
