happen to be in the mood! Figure out an excellent complexion routine, then stick to it. Smooth, clear skin is one of the first requisites of glamor. And anyone who cares and tries can have nice skin.
 Spend some time and thought on the selection of new fall cosmetics. There's not much point in getting your face in finest condition if you are going to dab 1t with dark rust rouge that was lovely in July but does nothing at all to dramatize your present coloring or new black and dark clothes. Sec that powder matches exactly or is one shade lighter than your skin.
 Watch Eye Makeup
 Do look at new eye makeup. A bit of eyeshadow, in shade you never even considered before, ap. piled painstakingly with a small camel's~hair brush, often makes for evening glamor.
 And how about curling your eye- lashes? You can, you know, get a fine little gadget which makes even the straightest, shortest lashes seem longer and more alluring. It's a good idea to apply mascara spar ingly, then to clamp the curler gad- get right on moist lashes.
 Try this anyway. You may not like the result, but then again, you might. And anything which makes for glamor certainly is worth a trial at least. I..

Curtailing Over-Active Boys
 Interests His Parental Duty

Summer is the time for parents to do little planning for their chil- dren's coming year.
 After things begin again, school, group activities and the dozens of outside interests that boys and girls have today, 1t is hard to make a change in program. But in the less demanding days of vacation. with last years experiences to draw on, each mother is in a position to do some revamping, if necessary, of the year ahead.
 Perhaps last year John was too driven. Thinking 1t over calmly now, she realizes that she never saw the boy. There was school and home work, to begin with, and besides John was on the staff of his school paper. He was also drummer in the band, and that kept him after hours twice a week for practice, as well as taking whole evenings for perfor- manceS.
 Child Can Be Too Busy
 Then there was his Scout meet1 ings; and on Sundays, church and church school, and junior young peoples society. His hiking club took long walks in the afternoons.
 Even Saturday. the vacation so we'll earned by children, claimed him. He delivered packages on his bike to earn money, usually for a cause, such as new swim trunks for the pool races, or shack his hiking club hoped to build.
 If any but Johns mother, by the way, thinks this an impossible pro- gram for any boy, I hurry to ex- plain that 1t is understated, rather than overstated, in thousands of cases. Not that John thought he was burdened-quite the contrary It was Johns own verve for living and his zest for experience that filled the bag to bursting. But some children are burdened by superim. posed duties, those persons respon' sible not realizing that child! time may be too full.
 He Really Needs Rest
 These thoughts in her mind Johns mother would do well tt take stock. John, she remembers was very irritable all spring. H, did not eat properly either, ant got thin. And again comes thu empty feeling in her heart of neve having seen her son.

worse perhaps? The boy is fourteen now and growing fast. He really should have some rest. No doubt she has thought it all over long be- fore this. but she can't find the courage to change 1t.
 Her problem is exactly this: should she interfere and make her boy give up some of the impend- ing pressure of next winter?
 Sh can and she may, with my hearty approval, for one. Johns mother has a right to stop worry ing, as well as to a, fraction of his leisure at home. Without much trouble, she usually can put her finger on the things her boy might happily give up. He will have enough interests left to permit him outlet, and be compensated in full meas ure by home, the greatest club ol them all.

Sandwiches arc getting SWelled heads. They are trying to become 3-course dinners all in one bite. Just isn't decent Sandwiches had a simple origin-they were invented to eat between busy moments, to hold the appetite until better times. But now-a-days lunch counter chefs pile slice of bread upon slice of this and that, then keep repeating until a mountain of confusion frightens the nasty appetite to death. Let's get back to more simple ways. This Is the picnic season, the season of simple parties on lawn or porch. Keep 1t simple and pleasant. Leave skyscraper building to en- gineers: make sandwiches 4 that are dainty and pleasing and don't strive to pierce the skyline. "

 Make up your mind right now that you're going to be a glamor girl this fall--or else? (Or else be ashamed in the knowledge that your lack of the precious quality is your own fault.) F r z There's no reason why anyone should resign herself to the idea that Hollywood has a monopoly on this fine modern business of being glamorous. While only minute minority have beauty in the Garbo or Crawford or Dietrich manner, the fact remains that the vast majority can be glamorous even though not endowed with enormous eyes, deli- cate, dimples and veritable mane of shining, naturally curly hair. After all, many of Hollywood's most famous really worked to attain glamor. It didn't just happen.
 If health is the foundation of true beauty (and it isD, then it's the firmer than firm foundation of glamor. How in the world can you be sparkling attractive glamor girl II you uSVeT SeeHl tO HdVt dAy cI~ ergy, if your sense of humor is pretty dull or if you walk as though your joints are loaded with lead?
 Revise your living habits and see if you aren't pleasanter, younger looking, more charming person. Sleep eight hours every night and do take long walks in the fresh air: Whether you are fat, thin or just right, walking makes for kind of indescribable buoyancy that is love- ly in woman. I,.
 Unless you are naturally slender, plan to have only fruit juice, one cup of coffee and a slice of thin toast for breakfast; a huge salad, bev- craze and fresh or stewed fruit for lunch. Then you can eat anything you like for dinner-but no choco- late creams or rich pastries between meals, please.

tinal trouble of any kind to adhere to such & diet without personal medical supervision, is more likely co aggravate the trouble than to give any relief, for the smooth diet usually excludes the items that are the principal sources of minerals and vitamil1s in our modern vic- tuals, which at best are hardly adequate in these vital factors to maintain optimal health in any case. 3T NJ
 The smooth diet, I think, is a re- action from the fad or vogue of the rough diet of a decade ago. when apostles of bran and rourh.. age held their sway. I acknowi- edge that in rare instances some irritation of stomach or intestine may have been caused by oyer- enthusiasm in the eating of coarse foods, but I regard as ridiculous the attitude of certain subsidized authorities" who utter warnings to the public of vague dangers or serious consequences from the con. sumption of bran and similar roughage. That alleged danger is hypothetical, like rabies in man, in my opinion. And so, take 1t or leave 1t, l consider the smooth diet an unreasonable reaction, an extreme swing of the pendulum, and be. lieve those who-follow 1t at all faith fully or for any considerable period are more likely to suffer nutritional impairment and aggravation of their digestive troubles than were the most enthusiastic followers of the bran and roughage idea.
 The latest and most earnest ad- vocate of smooth diet offers a sug- gestion that If constipatio is pres- ent 1t is essential that it be reg. ulated with the help of the mildest measures, such as enemas of physio- logical sodium chloride solution or small doses of magnesium oxide. -. :" Physiological sodium chlor- ide solution is ten-dollar way of saying teaspoonful of salt to the pint of water. Magnesium oxide Is more commonly called light mag nesia. It Is not the ponderous lan- guages I mind 50 much as the in- situation that rectal injection is a mild measure. However, I suppose it would only confirm the suspicious of our dyspeptic readers if I were to say 1t would be milder to include enough bran or other natural c.ilu- lose or fiber in the diet to main tain natural peristalsis as nearly as may be. @
