Ny Neighbor Soys:

If you plan to force bulbs in
the house so as to have a plenti-
full supply Of flowers all winter,
don't forget the necessity of get
ting a good root growth at the
start. That is the whole secret
Of having blooms in plenty. After
you pot your hyacinths, tulips
and narcissi. bury the pots under
a pile Of ashes in the cellar and
leave them for several weeks.
When you dig them up look at
the holes in the bottom and If
you can see little white roots you
will know that the bulbs are ready
to be taken upstairs. There is an
exception in the case Of freesias
and oxalys. They do not need
to be buried, but it is best to
keep them in a rather cool place
at first. Nothing adds more
cheerfulness to a room in mid
winter than blooming bulbs.
When soldering first paste
piece Of adhesive tape over the
hole inside the receptacle that
is to be repaired. The tape will
hold the solder in place.
When finely chopped nuts are
needed for cakes, salads or sand
wiches run the nuts through a
food chopping machine.
Baking soda gives instant relief
to burn or a scald. Apply
either wet or dry to the burned
part.

With all the talk lately about
black-lipsticks- s-that-go-on-red it is in
teresting to see one that is noted
particularly for its lasting powers.
This brand-licorice black to look at,
but luscious red on the lips-is sup
posed to be practically indelible in 20
minutes after the application. The
fact that it turns red when applied
is said not to be the action of the
lips. but the chemical reaction within
the lipstick. We understand, too,
that its emollient qualities are recon-
mended for chapped lips. In six
shades. it comes in a luxurious black
and-silver case, and really has a vel
vety texture. :.
It has long been an established fact
that rouge is a must" to most women,
but so often we find the case in which

compacts are beautiful creations, but
rouge is often neglected. However,
one Of the leading cosmetic firms now
introduces a new type Of rouge in
a fiat, beautifully finished compact
complete with downy puff. The
rouge, which, incidentally, is new
kind, comes in five shades, and the
case will make an attractive addition
to your makeup aids
Chalk up another hit for famous
beauty firm. This particular house
has introduced some of the loveliest
packages of perfumes we have ever
seen, and they are constantly think

products. The latest-and most strik-

or horn of plenty. We understand
that it was inspired by royal Rus

Just how many dogs give thought
to correct equipment for weekend

object to serving CANNES even on their

as well as drink. Some hotels object
to his Cor herr dogship sleeping on

inasmuch as Pups is member of
the party, extra equipment must be
included.
Maybe the boss could trot to some
canine outfitters' and buy one of those
doggy luggage kits, all fitted out. Only,
being as she's bit skeptical about the
price of gas in other places she thinks
she'd better hang on to all available
cash. Therefore she takes no dish (as
near unbreakable as possible), some
round white paper cups for water,
etc. and deposits them in a small
shopping bag or weekend case Dry

PURPLE in all shades predominates

lets pinned high beneath chins, on
muffs and purple bows in the hair.
So surely you are planning to have
a purple something! And then you
are going to find out that orange-red
cosmetics clash with your ensemble!
Your rose shades and suntan nail
polishes must be reserved for other
costumes, for only orchidaceous tints
will make you regal right down to your
very fingertips.
There are several delightful shades
from which to choose in the new nail
tints. One with the right orchid cast
harmonizes smartly with straight
purple" and it has muted, delicate
coloring which your hands demand.
For the deeper wines and plums wear
that divinely right grape shade to give
your hands a blue-veined, shell-like
appearance. Look at the counter color
chart before making your purchase,
for bottle of the right color will give
you much JOY the next month or two.
These newer, cream polishes in the
somewhat darker shades are easy to
apply. To give your nail an attractive
oval shape leave only a speck of a
moon and tip showing white If you are
just a social lady, and have no career
to demand that your nails be of mod
crate length, you can afford to let your
nails grow quite long. The vogue Is
for longer nails, but it depends upon
your personal taste.
If you haven't yet acquainted your
self with one of the new nail bases by
all means do so. They are colorless
and you paint them on before apply
ing your polish. Such a base does
not only protect the nail somewhat,
but it keeps your polish from chipping.
Write me if you wish to know the
names of the two shades mentioned.

so scientific and so perfected that
there isn't any room for improve
ment." That is pretty broad state
ment. 1t is quite true that cosmetics
are works of art-the product of
scientific research-but 1t is also true
that, like everything else, the beauty
business is still improving. Long hours
are still spent in laboratories, ex-
perimenting and testing to make even
the established products better, and
to, constantly give us new aids to
beauty.
One of the most recent innovations
is the introduction of a cleansing
cream by a house that is noted for
its excellent products. This new type
is Of a fluffy texture with a more
solid base-designed for the dry skin
and said to be non-liquifying. 1t by
no means supplants the regular cleans
ing cream, but it should be a real
aid to beauty. The difference in this
new product lies in the texture, ap-
pearance-it really looks like whipped

ladies who suffer from very dry skins
should find it effective indeed. -.

must have had at least a
passing acquaintance with each other
before they married, it is a strange
thing that they do not discover, on
the safe side of the altar, the defects
in each other that they find so unen-
durable after they are tied tight and
fast together.
Apparently during the days OF
courtship they go about in trance
in which they are mentally irrespon-
sible and unable to distinguish between
what characteristics they like and
don't like in an individual, or to
perceive faults and foibles that stick
out like a sore thumb. For in no
other way can you account for the
antagonistic husbands and wives that
you see all about you.
1t isn't that they were lured into
matrimony by deep, dark deceits
practiced by villains who pretended
to be one thing when they were
another. Few men and women could
put on an act that would fool even
a moron baby Nor would they
think it necessary to attempt it.,
because such is human vanity that
the average man and woman think
they are little bit of all right just
as they are, and that to pretend to
virtues that they do not possess would
be like gliding the lily and painting
the rose.
OUCH being the case, how is it then
that Algernon and Gertrude do
not discover before marriage those
qualities in each other that most
get upon their nerves after marriage?
For example, I get thousands of
letters from both husbands and wives
manners and saying that every meal
is made a horror to them by the way
their mates gobble their food or
handle their silver.
when my wife begins gargling her
soup I hardly dare trust myself with
the carving knife" says the man. ut is
all I can do to keep from screaming
when I see my husband mess an
egg around his plate of a morning" :"
says the woman. You can't wonder
at it, poor souls. 1t is disillusion-
ing experience, but they must have
eaten together on some occasion
before they were married. How come
that the finicky one didn't find out
then that the others table manners
belonged to the pigsty instead OF the
Emily Post school?
And there's stupidity. The curse
of marriage is boredom. The thing
that sets nine men out Of ten to
roaming is having homes so dull
that they would yawn their heads
off if they stayed in them. The
thing that makes wives fall for any
stranger who has keen line is having
husbands who never read anything
but the stock market and the comic
strip and have nothing to talk about
except the grocery trade.
You can't blame 'em. But how was
