OF course, all this takes time. But
why not omit the movies for two or
three nights a week and 60 after that
spare tire or what have you, and
see what you can do about it?
A LSO new is the idea Of combining
dusting powder and cologne 50
that in one quick application the busy
coed and the business woman may
cut down the time allowance for the
morning toilette by at least several
precious minutes. Every one knows
the splendid stimulating qualities of
eau de cologne rubbed briskly on the
skin after the bath, and most women
use dusting powder and some sort of
deodorant as well.
No longer are the three separate
steps of this good grooming necessary,
for they have all been magically COM
blned into one fragrant lotion that
does the whole trick in one fell swoop.
This powder cologne is by no means
confined to the quick morning ablu-
tions, but is as useful before donning
evening decolletage, since it is not
only refreshing and stimulating to the
body, but leaves the skin with a fine,
powdery film that doesn't rub off. It
dries Immediately and in every way
seems to fit right into the modern
scheme of things even to being pleas
ant to look at. Try 1t after your ses-
sion with the reducing cream. It's a
grand idea!
pERFECTLY fascinating among new
presentations Of toiletries is one
that uses for its theme the early
American charm and quaintness of the
late 18th century. From Amer
ica's first era Of gracious living, in
spiration has been found for a whole
series Of the most delightful boxes
containing soaps, perfumes and DOW
ders. Throughout the series there is
but one fragrance used, and that one
Is pungent scent like old spice. The
boxes are covered with a veneer of
real wood with decoration of q Spray
OF flowers and two little figures such
as you see on old samplers and are
made IN such sizes and shapes that
they may be used for trinket boxes
later. This is particularly feasible
nasmuch as the boxes do not carry
any firm name or lettering on the tops
to mar their beauty.
The perfume bottles are especially
interesting, as they are authentic re-
productions OF old Stiegel bottles orig
inally made in glass works at Man
helm, Pa, from 1858 to 1774. They
have the same bumpy imperfections
so highly priced by collectors, and
the two sides of the bottles are slight
ly different, as Is apparent in hand
blown glass.
The oval keepsake box is attractive.
with its contents of six cakes of SOAP
two large bath size, two toilet cakes
and two small guest size-all delight
fully scented with the spicy odor and
offering a perfect gift idea.
The inspiration for this and other
boxes originated in the historic brides
boxes" which were traditional In the
old Pennsylvania families of the early
days. It's new thought in toilet
ries, and one to keep in mind for
your friends who haunt antique shops
and simply love everything pertaining
to early American. Incidentally, these
toiletries are Of the best quality.

HERE'S another new one. It is
simple method, alleged to elimi-
nate spare tires" and superfuous fat
in Objectionable spots by means of
a cream that is applied to the area
to be reduced and which, by its ac-
ton of inducing excessive perspiration,
causes the water which is stored up
in this feshy tissue to be eliminated
and so reduces its apparent size.
It is a well-known fact that the
body contains a large amount of
water. Often this fluid content, which
is always present in fatty areas, may
be considerably lessened through cab
met baths that bring the temperature
of the body up to tropical heat. This
principle has been used to enable
a woman to get much the same re-
suit through her own efforts in the
privacy OF her own home. 1t all
comes out of large jar Of harmless
looking, waxy white cream that is
applied to the areas to be reduced,
following which warm tub is in
dicated, in which the reduce" re-
lakes for 20 minutes. Then wrapping
herself in a sheet, she slides into
bed between warm blankets to per-
spire away pound or two, or at least
make good start on the reduction.

NYE EMBARGO
MOVE HALTED
e: IN SENATE

A move by Senator Nye (R) OF
North Dakota, to commit the
Administration on the possibility
Of an arms embargo against Ger
many and Italy was quickly par
ried by Senate Administration
leaders yesterday.
Nye offered a resolution re
ouesting Secretary Of State Hull's
opinion whether existing neutral
ity legislation would permit such
an embargo against nations inter.
vening in another country'S civil
war.
Blocked by Robinson
Though the resolution named
no specific nation, Majority
Leader Robinson, sensing its ap-
plication to the Spanish strife,
opposed Nye'S request for its i'm
mediate consideration.
On RobinSon'S motion, 1t was
referred to the Foreign Relations
Committee. Chairman Pittman
Cd, Of Nevada, announced he
would oppose it as unnecessary"
saying American arms exports to
Germany and italy are negligi'
bic.
Doesn't Apply to Italy
Though Spanish Ambassador
De Los Rios has announced his
country considers itself at war
"in fact" with Mussolini, respon-
sible sources said the AdminiStra-
ton has no intention Of extend
ing the Spanish arms embargo
to italy.
Secretary Hull was represented
aS believing the participation OF
26 nations in the Spanish non.
Intervention pact would suffice
to isolate the Spanish conflagra,
ton without American participa'
