 Glorifing Yourself

 This is the time to substitute light cleansing and night creams for the heavy varieties you've been using since last fall, to start keeping your bottle of skin tonic in the ice box, to decide to use more ice in beauty routines and to appreciate anew cooling eau de colognes. In other words, summer is here, and the smart girl always changes her beauty preparations with the sea- son.
 Figure out way to keep your skin smooth and lovely without leaving night cream on while you sleep. You might apply 1t before your nightly bath, removing 1t be- fore going to bed. Or in the middle of the afternoon while taking 8 solitary sun bath. Or sometime dur ing the morning while you're busy about the house. Then at night after cleansing, you can pat on ar- other layer and remove 1t quickly. Unless your skin is quite dry, pat face and neck with cool skin tonic before going to bed.
 If you can make powder stay on without first applying a base. you might try going without foundations during the summer months. Many readers report that cleansing with cream before smoothing on cream rouge and powder keeps their make- up in place. This is a hint for those with dry skin, of course. Oily con- plexions need greaseless founda- ton under powder.
 Try to keep your bedroom as cool as possible. Put away all un- necessary gadgets, keep the shades down during the daytime. If you have electric fans, move all of them into the bedroom and turn them on while you are bathing, brushing your hair and getting ready for bed. Naturally, you should not sleep with fan turned toward you, but there's no harm in cooling the room a bit before you get into bed. Fur thermore, one very small fan, turned to face a wall opposite the bed, won't create draft across your back, but will make the air in the room seem cooler during the night.

 One thing about the vitamin B treatment of deafness, catarrhal deafness or other progressive deaf ness, is the certainty that 1t can in likelihood that l. may improve the general health or Vite nj many cases.
 What the optimal or most favor able daily intake of Vitamin B would be depends upon the individual cir cumstances. The more work, exer- else, play or activity, the greater the requirement.; the more active the metabolism the greater the require mentS; but nutrition authorities estimate that 30 Chase and Sher- man units of vitamin B for each 100 calories of food is a fair dietary standard.
 Incidentally one of the now well recognized effects of moderate shortage of yitamin B is weak heart muscle. This accounts for the poor circulation and dilated heart that brings many poorly nourished working men into the hospital wards nowadays.
 Plain wheat contains 50 or 60 units of vitamin B in the ounce. Wheat germ meal contains approxi- mately $50 units of yitamin B in the ounce. Wheat bran contains nearly 300 units in the ounce; rolled oats 60 units in the ounce; milk 9 units in the ounce; white flour practically none; rye flour 62 units in the ounce; egg yolk 50 units in the ounce; banana 9 units in the ounce.

 Still another recognition is &C., corded pique by Patou, who uses white pique for appliqued motifs around the top of sophisticated night-blue silk crepe evening dress. The same authority steps out of the cotton pique ranks and chooses white silg pique for an evening dress with heart~s:laped decolletage and immense circular skirt of wide godets. The V of the neck is cut to below the bust and is laced to- gether by five crosses of emerald green grosgrain ribbon whose long ends hang to the floor.
 Add to the pique parade: Chanel's vestee and three bows of white pique which form the sole decoration on 8 navy and white printed silk dress. Heim's white pique blouse and bolero worn atop a bright red box-pleated skirt of red wool. Mainbocher's sum- mer tailleur made of red and white pique printed in lace design. Worn with the latter is red embroidered organdy blouse.

 Paris tUP)-Whether used for 8 humble little collar or sophisti- cated cocktail gown, pique this sum- mer retains prestige which 1t has won for itself through many years of faithful and distinguished service.
 Black pique begins to play as important a role as black linen. It may be substituted quite fearlessly for heavy silks or light wools for dressy occasions. The Comtesse d'Andigne has been seen at cock tails and informal dinner parties in long evening tailleur made by Vera Borea in black pique with all- over black embroidery of soutache braid. The blouse is of mauve and rose chiffon. With 1t the Comtesse wears a Rose Valois hat of 1860 inspiration, mauve with pink flowers.
 White pique, perpetual favorite, makes one of Molyneux's most youthful evening dresses. There are two patch pockets on the floor length circular skirt and white enamelled zipper up the back. Add ing the necessary touch of summer frivolity is the flower boa-or lei made of multi-colored artificial field blossoms.

 So while the First Lady has solved the Great American Problem for herself, she hasn't solved it for the thousands of hostesses all over the country who stifie yawns, smile until their faces hurt, and stretch hospitality hours beyond the break ing point.
 The only hope for these hostesses is that they will some day reach some kind of understanding with their particular friends--a modern version of the "do unto others principle.
 In other words, If you go home at reasonable hour when you are at party at my house, I'll do the same when you invite me over. I'll not only take myself home when l should, but I'll see that two other guests leave at the same time." Copyright, 1888, NEA Service, Incl

allow years to go on without doing anything about it. Not that it is always possible to ac- cept the inevitable cheerfully, but the person who can face it, and look reality in the eyes, will find many things quite bearable that have seemed impossible to stand.
 Children have their conflicts, too. Perhaps not so seriously as grown-ups. but adolescence is given to them rather cruelty.
 Divided Loyalties
 Often the fight lies in other fields. Perhaps child is divided in his royalties, or must choose between two royalties. He loves both parents but they quarrel and he feels that he must take sides. He cannot do so, because he loves his mother and in a more worshipful way, his daddy, too. Very possibly he planes one or the other, because he can reason. But he feels like traitor. He cannot decide where his allegiance lies. He wants 1t to in- clude them both as 1t once did. as though they were one person.
 The young child thrown too much upon his own resources with no one to make a program or to suggest. finds himself unable to de- eide. He has too little experience and judgment to stand beside de- cision, or even to make one. To know what one wants and then try for it is a shortcut to mental peace. To permit child to do much of his deciding. as he becomes ready for 1t. increasing his responsibility with his years, is an excellent plan;

Smart Girl Graduates Should Major in Ec0n0,11y
PICK COMMENCEMENT DRESSES FOR LATER
 USE IN COLLEGE

NEA SeFVlce StafI COrrespOn0enL
 New York-The smart little Sweet Girl Graduate picks her Commencement Week wardrobe with the future firmly in mind.
 Remembering all her mother has taught her about the importance of knowing how to choose "one oc- casion" dress that can be worn a good deal later on, she hunts for a graduation gown that will be ap- propriate for summer dances. Also for Class Day frock that will be her best, certainly her favoritc, daytime dress during the summer and which will go to classes at coI- lege early in the fall while the weather is still very warm. And her evening gown for the Senior Prom is something that will have prominent place in her wardrobe for several summers.
 The dress in which she appears on the platform to receive the well deserved diploma may be of linen, organdy, pique (plain or embroid- ereO or some other summery fab ric. It may have puff sleeves or it may be sleeveless evening gown with jacket. Bolero jackets are more popular than long ones. And dresses which mold the hipline, then pillow about the ankles are more popular than slim sheaths. With 1t, she'll carry sheaf of ros- es or delphinium or white and pink peonies.
 Shirtwaister Most Charming
 The most charming dresses for Class Day exercises are of silk crepe, handmade and cut on shirt waister lines. One of the pretti- est and daintiest, shown here to- day, comes in all pastels as well as white and is finished with hand- run tucks and hemstitching. Noth- ing could be more appropriate for the occasion. And it's dress that will be right for luncheons, bridge, teas and informal dances all sum- mer.
 Another Glass Day frock that would be sweet on snort, slender graduate is the dirndl type of printed challis in soft summer col ors on white ground. And for a taller girl. there's a delphinium blue shirtwaist frock with tucked bosom and short sleeves with hip length jacket of geranium red silk.

CHILE OFFICIALLY
 OUT OF LEAGUE
Withdrawal Effective on May IA, Past, For
 Two Years

Geneva, June 2.-(UP).-Chile an- nounced officially today that she in- tended to withdraw from the League of Na5ions.
 The Chilean notice, contained in a letter from Augustine Edward, Chile's delegate to the league, said that the withdrawal would be eff fective for two years from May IA.
 Last month Edwards informed the league council that Chile would withdraw unless the league cov- enant was drastically reformed.
 Edwards emphasized that the league was universal and therefore cannot be coercive, meaning that article XVI, the sanctions article" !" must be dropped.
 "Sedatives will not help the league" he said. "A surgical opera tion is necessary to cut out the dead flesh in those articles of the covenant which are disregarded and violated again and again by league members or left in suspense by ui- lateral declarations, the only effect of which is to undermine the Sanc- tity of treaties"
