days who had no rouge but the
artificial red rose that was moist
ened in water and used to stain
the cheeks in the brave little
round spots, so crude and gaudy,
we can understand why cosmetics
were so heartily condemned.
All makeup was "paint'n'-pow-
der" and looked upon with horror
by the conservative souls.
The ambitious little beauties of
those days were really our pio-
neers in the crusade of beauty,
and we shall be everlastingly
grateful to them for their efforts.
There is no longer any criticism
of the girl or woman who uses
makeup so long as she knows how
to use it.
We no longer use the little round
red spots like the wooden soldier
dolls but we still need to give more
thought to the correct use of rouge.
The general rule is to place the
first spot on the cheeks at a point
directly below the eyeballs. Then
blend it either toward the nose
or back toward the temples.
For the broad or round face,

Cactus Care

Except for the blooming period
of the cactus plants, which usually
commences in March and lasts
through June, these favorite house
plants should be allowed to stay
almost entirely dry.
They should never be crowded
into dish garden, for they need
open soil around them. Nor will
they thrive in garden earth, which
dries hard and does not allow the
air to reach them. For the plants
themselves it is best to send directly
to their native haunts in order that
they may be fresh and healthy, or
to some grower who knows the
secrets of the matter. Put a few
Jumps Of charcoal in the bottom of
the container, and mix a table

Buttons-More Buttons

buttonS-More Buttons
HAVE you noticed how
IL many buttons are being
used on dresses, on suits, and
on blouses? Some dresses
make them their only trim
ming. A smart group we saw
just yesterday had buttons
making a design on the bodice
of the dress. And they are
equally smart on blouses and
on suits, as means of lend
ing variety to the costume.
Which brings us to the thought
that you can do wonders with
your clothes by changing the
buttons. If costume is drab,
try colored buttons instead of
those that match. Or if a
blouse is too plain, change the
buttons to something gay and
spirited, so that they will give
added interest to the blouse.
Schiaparelli is using every
thing from top hats to punches
of fruit for buttons. Just look
at the buttons available at any
button counter downtown, and
see if you can't work wonders
with them!

BRIDAL BOUQUETS
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear MIS-. Beeckman:
"Will you please set me right on
this? A claims that the brides
parents should pay for the brides
bouquet. B claims that the groom
should. Who is right? Who pays
for the bridesmaids flowers?
"B."
The groom usually sends the
bouquet to his bride. But some
times the brides family buy this
bouquet.
The bridesmaids flowers are
usually supplied by the brides
parents. Besides being a gracious
gesture, this is wise and conven-
lent, since these bouquets are
planned as part Of the attendants
costumes and as part Of the color
scheme Of the wedding.

Use the fingertops to blend the
rouge so that there will be no out
line. Do not rouge the chin, as a
colored chin is not flattering to
any one. Some girls look smarter
with the color accentuated on the
lips and no rouge at all on the
cheeks. All oval-Shaped faces may
omit rouge.

GIRL SHY"
From your own account, you
don't need very much help. You're
amusing, and no doubt attractive.
Your trouble arises from a lack
of egoism, and not wanting to
push yourself unduly. The girl you
tell me about, being in the same
class with you, is in a very Strate-
gic position for furthering the &C
quaintance.

Roosevelt High School has paint

About so girls have formed club
called the Paint Singers and, under
the direction of Miss Esther Galbraith,
are studying the art Of stage makeup
and, incidentally, getting few tips
for themselves
At their first meeting they learned
straight makeup, seeking to enlarge
the eyes and make the mouth into a
cupid's bow or rosebud. Next they
learned how to grow old gracefully and
the third lesson was practice in the art.
Their success was demonstrated
when model was shown on the stage
beside girl without any makeup.
Although they are picking up valu-
able facts about when and where to
paint, the girls are principally paint
ing other girls-those in the school
dramatic club and the new club will
swing into full action for the annual
operetta to be given soon.
