New Factors
t
TO Beauty
CarefulStudy Of Good
and Bad Features
Vital.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

WE SAID yesterday that the desire
for beauty is as old as time: it
hasn't changed with the years, it has
merely grown stronger.
And so it seems logical at the outset
of a new year to stop and consider
our beauty possibilities and plan for
greater glamour. Before we start we
must know what it is we want, where
we are going and map out the route.
Otherwise we may founder in circles.
The intelligent way to start is to
study ourselves first. Just what are
our beauty possibilities? Let us be
honest without being hypercritical.
Let us admit fairly our good points.
This does not mean that We are
conceited. In fact, it is mark of
-mindedness and intelligence to
recognize our good qualities without
Dragging about them.
Your beauty ledger then. List on
one side your good points. On the
other your bad. Map out campaign.
What do you need in the way Of
health measures. beauty preparations.
money. time and energy to preserve
and make the most Of those good
points? And how can you overcome
the bad?
1t takes careful study. It requires
a definite plan Of action. And knowl-
edge shortens the path to beauty. II
you are in doubt about the type Of
skin you have-it isn't difficult to
ascertain from an expert who has
a fundamental knowledge Of skins,
symptoms and skin care. If your hair
seems dry but does not respond to
the treatment you are giving it for
dry scalp. find out if scalp and hair
are both really dry or if the scalp
is over oily and the hair brittle. II,
In spite of a curtailed diet. you still
continue to gain weight, past the safe
or becoming mark-know what Is
causing your overweight and know
what you must do to counteract the
tendency.
Consider the five factors Of the
beauty ensemble figure, hair,
skin, hands and above all your health
I include health as part of the beauty
ensemble because feel with most
modern authorities that health is the
very foundation of beauty. / think.
too, that more women are succeeding
in their achievement of greater beauty
because they recognize the importance
of health in the pictorial scheme.
Under each of the five headings make
as many subheads as you feel you
need until you've covered all the good
and all the bad. Fortified with this
definite knowledge the next step is:
what to do about 1t. And then the
actual doing. Yes, the persistent do
ing" day in and day out, is what will
win out.

There are . number Of French

make these delectable dainties with

to line the pastry cups are large and
fluffy and the whipped cream filling
is piled generously high. Chocolate
eclairs too. are nice as change, and
are very enjoyable as q Winter des-

which they may select favorites?

and If you will peruse your cook
books you will find a number Of
recipes for these old-fashioned good

recently glanced included one for
caraway seed cake. While some peo-
pie do not care for caraway at all,
there are many who are very fond
Of it. II you happen to be an en-
thusiast and like spicy cakes and cook

NOW that the large navel oranges
are at their prime why not enjoy
some ambrosia for dinner or luncheon
dessert? To make this old-tirle treat
really taste as 1t should one must be
sure to use the freshest coconut to be
had. We know Of a merchant who
specializes in freshly grated coconut
and horsera dish-will CRATE both for
you right before your eyes so you know
they are as fresh as fresh can be. The
coconut Is light and fluffy and has a
delicious flavor. (Coconut milk. by
the way, may be bought at the sans

one must have plenty Of coconut to

order enough. Ambrosia We enjoyed

each man will take care of his own
particular amount on the check?
had always understood this, even
though the other evening was my
first actual experience. At that time
no questions were asked, however.
and the check was divided in equal
parts ameng the men, which meant
that I helped to pay for others ex-
travagance, and they, on the other
hand, proflted by my girls consider
alton for my hattened pocketbook.
Has this always been the way pay
party Is managed?
Answer-There Is no question what
ever that having separate checks Is
the most fair arrangement-espe-
cially II some persons order cham
payne and caviar and others order
ginger ale and sandwiches! This way
each man pays for exactly what he
and his own guests have ordered.
But probably because separate checks
makes the settlement of the account
too complicated, it Is more usual that
at most parties Of this sort, espe-
cially large ones, the total check is
simply divided by the number Of men
in the party, or sometimes when the
party Is composed Of an odd number
Of each, by both men and women.

~ EAR DOROTHY DIX: I am a
girl AZ years old, very much
in love with young man Of
- the same age. He is all I
could wish for In q husband: he is
good looking and very nice to me. but
he CANDLES to such an extent that he
is always broke. My parents are
against him on this account, as he
has borrowed from them at different
times and has never paid them back.
They do not worry about the money.
They think only Of my future. They
also insist that he find a job and keep
it and stop gambling at once. OF
course, know that I shall be able
to stop his gambling once we are mar
ried. Don't you think he will really
stop if he loves me enough? And
don't you think my parents should
try to understand him, and that the
reason he Is idle is because he won't
take just any job that comes along?
He wants to flnd something really
good before he accepts anything. What
should ! do? WITS END.
Ansver-H you have one grain OF
sense In your head or any care what
soever Of your future happiness, you
should listen to your parents advice
and back them up in their demand
that this lad prove himself worthy Of
you and capable of taking care Of you
before you marry him.
They ask nothing unreasonable.
merely that he give up one Of the
most insidious and devastating vices
In the world and that he 60 to work
and prove that he can support q wife.
Any man who is At to marry can
qualify On all Of these points. If he
can't, Q girl would be better dead
than married to him.
TRY TO forget this Lad Is good look
ing and has q way with him that
captured your fancy. Analyze his
character and see what you get and
what your prospects for the future
would be If you married him. He
CANDLES away every cent he gets, 50
he is always broke. That means that
you would always live on the ragged
edge Of want.
You would never know from where
the next meal was coming. You
would always have to work If you
wanted to eat, and even then he
would take your hard-earned money
TO wager on some game Of chance.
He Is not even q good gambler, be-
cause he doesn't win. He borrows
money that he never pays back. It
wouldn't be long before you would
have the same contempt for him that
other people have for the chronic
borrower whose borrowing Is just
hold-up.
You say the reason this boy doesn't
work Is because he won't take any Job
that comes along. He wants something
that suits his temperament. Some
thing with q high salary and no labor.
That's the alibi Of all the Weary Willies

VOU say that you know you will be

matter Is In the hands of the school
but by the time any one notices that
one of the pupils doesn't seem to feel
well, he has put in a good Job Of
germ spreading all around the class
rooms. And, likely as not. there will
be an epidemic of something or other
which, in extreme cases, calls for
quarantine, loss Of work and big med
ical bills. And so entirely unneces-
sary!
HAVING got that off my chest. I
will return to the lunchbox
question. Be sure that the children
eat plenty of fruits, both fresh and
dried, and that they get good ration
Of tomato or orange juice. Milk. milk,
milk-in some form or other; in
soups. in beverages. in creamed
dishes, In custards, or just plain.
Plenty of milk will 60 a long way to
insuring your child against the many
troubles to be found in the coming
months.
Be particularly careful to include
some good wholesome sweet in the box
every day. II you don't the child's
natural craving will get the better Of
him. and he will consume cheap trash
that will upset his stomach. and
thereby render him even more sus-
ceptible to illness. He needs sweets
especially now, when his reserve Of
energy is being called upon more than
ever and the depleted store must be
replenished in the proper way.
Whole wheat bread should form
most of his sandwiches, as the vita
minis it contains tend to protect"
the system against infection. Lots Of
yellow vegetables containing the valu-
able element carotene should be
stressed. The green. leafy ones must
not be forgotten. and the more raw
vegeta bles he can be made to enjoy the
better.
TELLIES and jams are a good source
Of sugar. and usually children take
TO them like ducks to water. Simple
cakes and cookies offer the sugar sup
ply combined with other important
food elements. Dried fruit may be
eaten like candy, and most children
love it.
Don't forget the importance of the
appearance and variety of the child's
lunches. He will be sure to eat every
thing but the box itself if the con-
tents are appetizingly prepared,
daintily wrapped-and complete sur
prise! We mothers, especially, know
how drearily our own meals seem to US
just because We have planned and
done them ourselves-the same goes
for the youngster who knows exactly
what is inside every roll Of waxed

Personally. we're q dud at it. But
that's not because We don't think

We hope, though, that you won't

(Sos No Sookmg: Big Saving.
To get the quickest relief from coughs
due to colds, mix your own remedy at
home. Once tried, you'll never use any
other kind Of cough medicine, and it's
20 simple and easy.
First, make syrup by stirring 2
cups granulated sugar and one cup of
water a few moments. until dissolved.
A child could do it. No cooking needed.
Then get 2h ounces of Pinex from
any druggist. This is a concentrated
compound Of Norway Pine, famous for
its prompt action on throat and bron.
chial membranes.
Put the Pinex into a pint bottle. and
add your syrup. Thus you make a full
pint of really better medicine than YOU
could buy ready-made for four times
the money. 1t never spoils, and chill
dren love its pleasant taste.
And for quick, blessed relief, it has
no equal. You can feel it penetrating
the air passages in a way that means
business. 1t loosens the phlegm, soothes
the infamed membranes. and eases the
soreness. Thus it makes breathing
