Beauty
GirlGraduate's
Makeup
By DONNA GRACE

The air for the last few weeks
has been full Of important sounds
like baccalaureate, valedictories
and exams. It is commencement
time, when degrees are conferred
and the graduate life has begun.
There is a thrill in graduating
and being rewarded for all the
years of work and study, and on
that great day the books are closed
and we are thinking only Of the
celebration, with perhaps a slight
sense of regret in leaving our aSso-
ciateS and the dear old college or
high school days.
Nothing is so lovely as the girl
graduate nor quite so handsome as
the young college men as they
stand to make their bow to the
world, and every adult delights In
rejoicing with them.
Every girl must look her best,
and even though we grown-ups
may feel there is perfection IN
youth itself, these clever girls know
there are smart beauty aids that
will emphasize their loneliness and
give them q. sense of perfect groom
ing.
The simple routine in preparation
for graduation exercises is to rest
after the ordeal of examinations,
then to avoid confusion and haste:
Be sure to have the gown ano
all accessories ready to put on
The night before you may indulge
in a luxurious warm, perfumed
bath. The pine aroma will be re
freshing, but any pleasing scent
will do.
Follow this with a sponging OF
rub of your best cologne, and then
the busting powder, and you will
be sure your nails are in the best
Of condition by having good man
icure. You may do this yourself
if it is not convenient to go to a
shop, but do not use a deep tone
polish. A Suntan, rust or natural
shade will be refined and in keep
ing with the occasion
Do not make up with rouge un
less you are the very pale type
and then only a faint suggestion
on the cheeks and the usual lip
stick is in good taste. You may
shape the brows if they need 1t
but no conspicuous mascara Of
shadow, please. When it is an eve
ming prom, do as you please, buI
avoid all conspicuous makeup II

A floral perfume is correct
Your hair style should be simple

Plan Ways to

ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECKNTAN

ByMHS.CORNELI BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

VIII you please tell me II should
telephone the hostess q few days
later, or mention it, other than .
gracious Thank you when leav.
ing?
"Please ten me the correct way
to accept the office of chairman
Of q club" III"
When we accept hospitality that
we know We cannot return lin
kind,"s we should be eSpeciallY
careful in our plans to make Ger.
tain gestures that win show our
! graciousness and appreciation. It
can be done. and can pe done
charmingly.
For instance, on the day Of tho
dinner you can send to your hos.
tess q lovely corsage. With 1t you
can enclose your card with a
friendly message on it.
Such as, THANK you so much
for your kind invitation to dine
with you tonight. These posieS
are to say how very much am
looking forward to being with
you"
Then when you say your good-by
after the party, your words Of
thanks should be most enthusi.
astic. And, the very day after
the dinner, you should write your
hostess a note of appreciation.
And, if your budget can afford
it, you might enclose this note in
a box Of flowers or in a box Of
candy.
Too, even though you might
not be able to return this dinner
invitation with a dinner invitation,
some other form Of invitation to
her might be possible.
For instance, you might invite
her to charming place for tea,
or luncheon, or you might invite
her to go with you to a movie and
to have "dish Of tea" afterward.
In other words, just don't take
it for granted that you aren't able
to make any return. Instead take
/ the point of view that, at very
small cost, there are many delight
.!ful amenities within your reach,
simple, graceful social bows that
will show that your "heart is in
the right place. And, in human
relationships. these pleasant geSr
lures are Of vast Importance!
You don't say whether your
acceptance is to be in the form
Of a letter or In the few words"
you say at the first meeting Of
the club after your election as
chairman.
However, in either case your
words might be: IT want to
thank you, with all my heart,
for the special honor that you
have given me in making me
chairman Of our club.
81 deeply appreciate this priv.
lege, and I pledge you that I
shall do everything in my power

LACKS CLOTHES

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm IL and very unhappy. 1 go

have the good times the other
students have. 1 do not attend
any of the school affairS-dances
or partieS-thOugh my mother

But the trouble is I have no
suitable clothes, and she can't at
ford to buy me anything. I don't
even have a best dress, not to
mention an evening dress to 60 to
a class dance.

touch with some Helping Hand
agency. But Of course I can't send
a letter to a big city without an

initials.

writes:
SPOILED BOY
Dear Miss Fairfax:
"The trouble with Steve Is that
he ought to be in the movies, play
ing dashing roles, getting fan mail,
reading his own name in the
winking lights over the door of
theater.
"He's too good-lOoking and too
spoiled for everyday life, and I
have helped to spoil him. But
how can 1 help it, when I've been
in love with him ever since we
found ourselves working in the
same office?
"He made love to me, and /
believed him until discovered
he was making love to a couple
of other girls. Besides that,
divorced lady 10 years older than
Steve bought him his neckties and
silk socks, embroidered his hand
kerchiefs. and was as foolish over
him as any of US younger girls.
"Then I had a straight talk
with Steve and told him that If /
didn't mean any more to him
than among those present., l
thought we'd better split up.
1--WE did. And oh, lady, did 1
find out 1. was Furnishing myself!
1 came to the miserable cOnclu-
sion that when one IS starving, a
crust is better than no bread at
all.
AFFAIR RESUMED
"And SO l made up with Steve,
and we have drifted along in the
same old way for three years. He
takes me out once or twice week,
and when he doesn't go with me
he goes with someone else.
"The divorced lady continues to
give him his neckties, socks and
embroidered handkerchiefs, and
none of us seems very happy, in
Guiding Steve.
"He belongs to highly success
full dramatic club, which has given
performances in other cities, and
that's Steve's meat and drink. But
he just can't make the grade Of
becoming a professional.
Meantime, I've considered try
ing to forget Steve and think more
about a young man born to be
ruled by his wife. He is good, oh,
SO good, has all the deadly virtues,
but he is a regular flat-tire Romeo.
STEADY, BUT DULL
"When 1 go out with him, it's
about as interesting as getting up
and going to work the morning
after a gay party-a party with
Steve. He is steady, prosperous,
devoted and not badIOOking, but
has not Steve'S flair.
''Time is marching on. I'm n,

speaking, oughtn't to waste any
more time over Steve, the beauti-

"Muddled," that suggestions seem
superfluous. I wish you could look

Two Women sought U. S.
Presidential Nomination

Belva A. Lockwood, who headed
the ticket of the Equal Rights party
In 1884 and again In 1888, was not
the first woman nominated for the
presidency of the United States.
That honor belongs to Mrs. Victor
Claflin Woodruff, who in 1872 was
nominated for the presidency at
Vineland, N. j., by a convention
styling itself the Equal Rights party.
Frederick Douglass, the negro re-
former, was the candidate for vice
president. The campaigns of these
two women amounted chiefly to suf-
frage propaganda, since neither
could have held the office had they
been elected, asserts writer in
the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Mrs. Lockwood, lawyer and re-
former, was born in 1880, at Royal
ton, N. Y. She was educated at
Genesee college, Lima, N. Y, and
taught school for eleven years. Then
she studied law and was admitted to
practice before the Supreme court.
under law which she had been in
strumental in getting passed.
Born Belva Ann Bennett, she was
married in 1848 to Uriah H. McNall.
who died five years later, and in
1858 to DR.. Ezekiel Lockwood. She
died in 1917.

Atlanta Had Other Names

In 1921 the land which was the
site of the founding Of Atlanta was
ceded by the Creek Indians to the
state. The first cabin was built in
1888 and in 1886 engineers drove
the stake which was to mark the
end of the proposed state railroad.
For that reason the towns first
name was Terminus. In 1843 the
name was changed to Marthasville
in honor of the daughter of Governor
Lunpkin. In 1847 it was incorporat-
ed as city with the name of At
lanta, probably suggested by the
railroad which was called the West
ern & Atlantic. It was made the
capital Of the state in 1868.

The Gensing Plant

The ginseng plant is ten to twenty
inches tall with a single stem from
a spindle shaped root that is often
branched. From the top of the
stem three compound leaves radi-
ate, each composed of five leaflets
radiating from the top of the pc
tiole. The two leaflets next to the
petiole are much smaller than the
others. From between the leaves
rises cluster of small whitish flow
ers followed by berries that are
bright red when ripe. The roots re-
quire six to ten years to become
full size. The Chinese provide the
market al they believe them to be
important in the cure Of many dis
eases.

Recipe: Recent

The words, recipe and receipt,
are derived from a Latin word
meaning "to take or receive" Re-
ceipt is almost always used in the
sense of an acknowledgment for
goods or money; recipe as a formu-
la for the preparation of dish or
compound. Receipt: received the
sum of, etc. Recipe: take the
yolks Of three eggs, etc. The r
with a stroke through it used at the
head of doctors prescriptions, is
short for Recipe, Dec volente.

Grasse Perfume Center

The industry for extraction Of
odoriferous constituents Of flowers is
conferred in Grasse, town in the
Alps Maritimes, overlooking Cam
mes. The flower fields stretch al
most to the shores of the blue Medi-
terranean. Here the peasants work
amid the fragrance, collecting an
average Of 1000 tons of orange
blossoms, more than 1900 tons Of
jasmine, and more than 400 tons Of
violets annually. The yield of roses
is enormous, for 1900, 900 pounds of
the highly perfumed flowers are col

Indians Married On Trial

Indians usually married on trial
basis. The man was expected to
provide the home and provisions
while the squaw was to cook and
raise the maize and vegetables. II
each performed his duties well, the
marriage became permanent, but Il
one or the other fell down on the
job-well, they just separated. For
example, If the wife failed to have
the meals ready when hubby came
in from hunting trip, all he had to
do was to walk out, and in so doing
he was free man again. And vice
versa.

The Cranberry in Early Times

The cranberry which is native to

lated to grow this crop CONNER

"HELP US, GOVERNMENT"
(The Country PresS)

(The Country Press)
Well, what is this that we hear
coming from Juan T. Trippe, presi-
dent of large anyways system?
He says that further advancement
of American commercial aviation de-
ponds upon adequate governmental
regulation of air lines. He points out
that economic regulation for rail
transportation, for highway trans
pOrtation and for communication have
been achieved and adds that to-day
there are no federal laws that guard
against destructive competition by
parallel air services" that "the pub
lie is not protected from destructive
rate-cutting on the one hand nor the
charging of exorbitant tariffs on the
other" and that "the air lines have
no assurance of continuity of serv-
ice as would be provided through
issuance of certificates of public con-
venience and necessity"
What does it mean? Simply
brothers and sisters, another example
of big business interests calling for
governmental aid to assist them in
setting up a paying business. He
would avoid obstructive competition
by having the government interfere
with business but, be it noted, this
time the interference would help pro-
fits, and therefore is requested. He
would avoid cut-rates and, for the
public, exorbitant tariffs, but with
the competition now going on it
looks like exorbitant rates are now
far off. He would have certificates
of public convenience and necessity,
which amount to exclusive fran
chises and thoroughly protect the
investors.
We have no criticism to make
of Mr.. Trippe and believe that what
he requests is reasonable and prob
ably necessary if air lines are to
grow and prosper. We call atten-
ton to pet theory Of ours, that big
business, which yells out in pain
when the government helps the farm
er or laborer, is just as ready to cry
out loud for the nursing bottle that is
labeled government assistance pap"
