Preparation
For Coming
Holiday
On New Year Eve
Look Refreshed
And Beautiful!
BY ELSIE PIERCE,

If YOU would greet the New Year
beautifully. the safest way 10 do
that k to finish the old year with q
flourish. After all. there's the one
precious minute at midnight that's
the go-between.
You've been racing and rushing for
weeks and there's the biggest party
yet ahead. Breathes there a woman
who isn't looking forward to looking
her loveliest-come New Year Eve?
Let's get right down to business,
then, in our week of rest and repair
work. First, no late partying nights
until the one night when you may
greet the dawn. Cancel all but the
most important social engagements.
Plan an afternoon nap every day if
you can possibly arrange it. Set aside
time each evening for one specific task
Of beauty homework.
The first evening, for instance. you
might start with home turkish bath.
You know how very cleansing the pro-
fessional turkish bath Is. You can
achieve practically the same effect at
home. OF course, women With weak
hearts, women who are underweieht,
or women who are generally run down
should not attempt this bath. But it
Is thoroughly cleansing to those in
very healthy condition, and 1t works
wonders in soothing tired nerves and
resting the body generally. 1t is a
skin beautifier, because it stimulates
as it cleanses; 1t also softens cAllous
spots on hands and feet and rough
tissues on elbows.
Here's how! You I'LL the tub with
water as hot as you can stand 1t. al
lowing the steam to I'LL the bathroom
and keep running fresh hot water and
more steam while you sit in the tub.
Before stepping into the tub, 1t goes
without saying that you have cleansed
your face very thoroughly with cream.
then with soap and complexion brush
and rinsed thoroughly. Then Just
leave your skin free to breathe, the
pores to open and throw off any re-
naming dust or waste. While in the
tub have y pitcher of hot, boiled water
handy and sip this slowly-three or
four glasses If you can. Scrub your
entire body with a good bath brush
and . bland soap. Rinse.
Have warm blankets READY and
waiting for you and roll yourself
smoothly into them for = half hour
You'll perspire freely. indicating that
you are throwing OF accumulated
waste and poisons. After the half
hours rest, 60 back for a warm 10
cold shower to close the pores Dry
by rubbing, shoeshine fashion. and
| follow with brisk alcohol rub.

Thorough Cleansing of Skin Is First Step Along the Road

Fright From Wrong" Should Be
Taught Girls When Young.

about. Her very flesh may crawl at
their familiarities. But she eoes

ming, and submits to their petting.
Second. Girls 90 wrong for love
OF clothes. They sell their souls for q
fur coat or few yards Of chiffon.
They must have their beauty treat
ments. They must have their i'm.
ported gowns and hats, or some sort
Of an imitation of them, to strut
around in. and they take the easiest
way and the only sure way they know
Of getting them. There is nothing else
more pathetic than that the price Of
many girls virtue Is pair Of silk
stockings.
Third. Many girls 60 wrong because
they love not wisely, but too we'll, and
they listen to the voice OF the temper
who mocks at the convention OF
wedding ring and demands that they
prove their love by throwing their
caps over the windmill But not 30
many girls sin through love Of men
as through love Of pleasure and dress.
But for whatever reason girls 70
wrong, the police are right when they
blame 1t on their parents who did
not teach them, when they were chill
dren, to watch their steps and walk
the straight and narrow road.

X ATHLEEN is unhappy about her

crying this afternoon and managed to
get her to tell me what was wrong.

she feels pretty bad about it,"
"Oh, she does, does she? suppose
I ought to hand over my bank ac-
count to her and let her throw 1t
around the town like the rest of the
wastrels. Well, I'm not going to, and
that's that. You can tell her so from
me-"
mo, John, wouldn't tell her that
because that is not what you mean.
You know she does not waste any,
thing, nor 60 around with those who
do. And you know that you want
her to think you are thinking OF her
and saving for her college course. I
think the time has come to tell her
about our plans, just how much
money there is, and arrange with
her to work along with us. We
don't want her to think We are being
stingy with our only daughter
who's being stingy? Neither OF
us ever spend a dollar on ourselves
II we can help it. If she wasn't as

RESIDENTIAL BUILDING
CONTINUES ITS SLACK
ecial Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispe tch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6-Continued
depression in residential building is
illustrated by pronounced slackening
in activity since the higher levels
attained in the first four months of
the year says the Index of the New
York Trust Co. in its current issue.
While contract awards fer~the jan
uary-September period were IS per
cent higher than in the corresponding
months Of 1896, September awards
were below those Of September, 1896,
according to the bank review, in COM
parison with awards running Is per
cent above last years levels from
January through April.
Although building has shown pro-
gressive improvement since the al-
most complete stagnation it expert
enced during the depth of the de-
preston" the Index states, "it still
lags far behind other phases of indus
trial activity. As one of the most
important elements In the general eco
nomic picture, it is generally agreed
that it must increase very materially
II recovery Is to continue, and while
there are reasons to believe that it
will do so, the relatively slow progress
80 far made has proved distinctly
disappointing. The conditions neces-
sary for BOOM housing shortage,
rising rents and enhanced national
incomes-would appear to have devel-
oped, but in the meantime actual
building Is still retarded by high
costs, labor difdculties, and the effect
upon credit OF uncertainty in fiscal
matters"

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Cotton

Monday. March eased from 7.8o to
III and closed at IT'S, with final
prices 4 to 7 points net lower.
Opening prices ranged from / point
lower to 2 higher, with easier Liverpool
cables offset by f1rmness of sterling
exchange. Hedge selling was light,
but the market felt the influence of
scattered selling in sympathy with the
action Of securities. Poor business in
cotton goods markets was reflected in
smaller trade buying, but the recent
decline in cotton prices caused Offer
ings from the South to dry up.
Private crop estimates range from
100000 up to 18.109,00 bales and
averaged 17.490,000. compared with the
October bureau of l7,573,0OO. Members
of the New York Cotton Exchange,
however. on the average, are looking
for a crop Of 17,816,000 bales. The

production on the other, so as to make

farm owners and operators in Federal
programs under which rental and
benefit payments were poured into
areas where distress had been especial
ly marked. 1t is to be noted that Fed
eral payments represented high pro-
portions of real estate valuations in

OPERATIONS CUT
SEEN GOOD SIGN
Business Slump Will Not Be
Long and Drawn Out,
Economists Feel.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Nov. 6-The abrupt
curtailment of industrial operations
in the last few months is looked upon
by some economists as an indication
the current business recession will not
be long-drawn-out affair.
The steel industry, for instance, is
reported to be working at around 40
per cent of capacity this week, approx
imately half the rate existing at the
peak last spring.
During the early summer steel
makers worked on heavy backlogs
New business, however, slowed down
considerably. AS untitled orders ran
low, therefore, big producers cut out
put rather than attempt to anticipate
an upturn by laying in inventories of
finished goods.
In october, 80 blast furnaces making
pig iron, the basis of steel, were shut
down. More furnaces were blown out
during this period than at any time
since 1924
Available data indicate a similar
downward trend in other industrial
lines. Machine tool orders in August
and September averaged 81 per cent
under the recovery high of last March
and April.
With freight loadings slipping fast.
carriers cut orders for new equipment.
In the same two spring months $4,000
freight cars and 113 locomotives were
contracted for, while only 2,700 cars
and A steam engines we're bought in
August and September.
The quick readjustment of the in
dustrial tempo to falling off in or
ders is considered a healthy sign by
most analysts.
The throttling-down process at the
present time contrasts sharply with
1929-30. In this earlier period indus
trial leaders responded to appeals to
keep up the now Of goods and thereby
maintain the purchasing power of
labor.
