CHARACTER BUILDING
FOR YOUTH STRESSED
Community Chest League IL Told
Emcient Program Will Cut
Future Relief Load.

The surest way of reducing relief
loads OF the future is to increase the
cnaracter-building program for the
youth OF today, two speakers told
the Community Chest League yester-
Day at its meeting in the home of
Mrs. Charles c. Glover, jr., 42C0
Massachusetts, avenue.
The talks were made by Mrs. Wilson
Compton, past president of the Young
Women's Christian Association. and
Arthur HELEN, general counsel for
the Community Chest, both of whom
stressed need for adequate support for
Chest agencies.
Mrs. Compton pointed out that the
Y. w. c. A. placed 10000 girls in
homes that had been inspected and
IN its own building last year and said
that these girls weren't asking for
charity but for protection"
MI. HELEN said that supporting
charActer-building agencies is a move
toward making Washington 4 more
pleasant place in which to live. Sup
porting agencies that give health op-
portunities to all young people on an
equal basis might be compared to sup
porting the symphony orchestra. he
said.

The Senator quoted the two questions

we couldn't afford it.

Costumes Sure
To Be Copied

Many of the csotumes worn by
other feminine members of the
cast will be widely copied ac-
cording to Mrs. Pemberton whose
long experience with styling
and stage costuming makes hers
O weighty opinion.
Benay Venuta, beauteouS
blond performer, wears vampish
clothes throughout, one Of the
most striking being a decollete
gown of white chiffon jersey "a
new fabric) over which she
wears a hooded cape of white
with a broad band Of shocking
pink.
Carmel White, daughter Of
Tom White, Hearst newspaper
executive, and niece OF Carmel
Snow, editor of Harper's Bazaar,
young, pretty, brown-eyed. will
wear in one act a tea-gown OF
dull green chiffon, made Empire
with pale pink and green in the
high bodice and long floating
panels of pink forming a train.
In another scene she will wear
4 gray linen and heavy gold
necklace and bracelets.

It's really a glorious style
scene, Peggy, because the sky's
the limit in colors, silhouetteS
and headgear. One day you can
appear somber as a nun in a
Balenciago black frocK that
clings to the figure with q dozen
subtle details, and the next day
you can look Sweet Sixteen in
Molyneux'S skating skirted frock,
flashed, perhaps, with a tiny
bright-toned jacket.
You can be sophisticated: you
can be ingenue! You can be an
all black beauty with a dash Of
colored accessories, or you can
burst into purple, red, green or

your head to toe, day or night.

Likes BilloWy
White Dress

Cindy Lou is played by Helen
Claire, our favorite radio per-
former remember her in Roses
and Drums?) She says she likes
best an ivory white chiffon
frock, with Empire bodice and
tremendous billowy skirts, for
get-me-notS on the shoulders and
old-fashioned jewelry. It seems
the jewelry was her great-grand-
mothers as was the guitar she
twangs prettily for the ardent
SWANS. She is really from Union
Springs, Alabama near Mont
gomery, the home of Cindy Lou,
which should insure at least an
authentic accent.
"One of the hardest things
was to find a pajama suit for
Cindy LOU" said Mrs. Pember-
ton. 1T had to be sweet and
girlish and feminine but not
ridiculous, so we decided on
white with lace edges and frills,
a bow in the hair and turquoise
blue slippers"

Il is a jewel for which most
people have a natural fond
ness. It's glowing color suits
well the perfect September
day. This year it's especially
lovely with the wines and
purples so much in vogue.
This gem, which most OF
lis think of in the varying
hues of blue, may almost run
the gamut of the spectra. All
of the numerous colors con-
stituting the gem varieties OF
the mineral corundum are
known as sapphire with the
exception of red. The red va
riety is ruby. Sapphires other
than blue are all known as
fancy SapphireS.
The sapphire is said to be
the symbol of truth and con-
stancy. Tradition tells us that
it was upon a sapphire that
the Ten Commandments were
engraved. The Persians be-
lieved that the earth rested
on a great sapphire Of which
the reflection gave color to
the sky. It is known as the
celestial stone.

WITH all the fine cosmetics we have on the
w market you would hardly expect the mod
ern girl to care much for homemade beauty alos'
but there are few who do not have one or more
special formula or personal routine.
You will be interested in the following which
we are told is priced treatment of the brilliant
little radio songstress, Doris Rhodes. Miss
Rhodes thinks keeping the skin fresh and cool
is just as important for one in her profession
as the practice and rehearsing for the frequent
broadcasts, and the special treatment she has
devised is said to keep the skin perfectly lovely.
Chilled Pears
Make Facial
1t is chilled pear facial. To prepare it, she
uses a half of an alligator pear, peeled and
msahed "a silver fork is the masher), and to
this she adds a half teaspoonful Of powdered
boric acid powder. It is then thoroughly chilled
in the refrigerator and when she is ready for the
treatment the chilled pear is whipped UP with
the white of an egg which has been beaten to .
dry stiffness.
The face is cleansed with an application Of
cleansing cream, and when this is removed the
pear mixture is spread on as mask and left on
for about 10 or IS minutes. During this time,
Miss Rhodes tries to relax on the bed with closed
eyes, and little pad Of absorbent cotton, Satu-
rated in boracc acid solution, is placed over the
eyes.

THE woman pays the
Il first debt. But ever after
that she makes the man pay.
The woman scorned may
turn into a vicious nemesis,
but more often she turns into
something more deadly, and
that is-a woman who makes
all men pay back for what
one man did to her.
I talked to a famous psychi-
artist recently on this subject.
We discussed the case Of a
woman, gentle, sweet, self-sacri-
ficing ana so moral she was
innocently unaware Of inn
morality. Imagine the shock
to this woman then when her
husband not only cheated on
her but through him she had
her eyes opened to the most
sordid Of the worlds display Of
immortality. It was cruel that
her husband was unfaithful to
this trusting, loving wife, but
it was far more cruel for him
to familiarize her with the
Seamy side of life.

His Point
Here is a letter that gives
you an idea Of this type OF
case:
Dear Nh. Antheil:
IT think your advice is sane
and sensible.
"I'm coming to you for some
much-needed advice. I've been
married twice.
my first husband was q
woman-chaser. When he left
me, I could prove nothing
against him. He was too clever.
Finally, after two years, I proved
what he was. after a court trial.
My own family had been against
me until proved I was right,
and that is what is nearly ruin
ing my second marriage. Now
I can do no wrong. They GEN.
sored me so badly the first
time that now they lean over
backwards to agree with me.
"The tables have turned, how
ever. Now I'm wrong. I drink
well, that's the worst thing I
do. All in, I bask in my family's
repentance.
"How can get back my old
fight? can't say to my fam
lily: You're too kind. leave us
alone but that is the truth.
I'm like Caesars wife-I can do
no wrong. and yet I know I'm
doing wrong every day. Cocktail
parties, a high life we not only
can't afford, but saps my huS-
bands strength for his job.
whats wrong with me? I
can see my mistakes, but it's
so easy to sit back and always
be right. p. L. D"
