WOMAN,S REALM
Gl0ri1ing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

Real beauty, the variety which lasts through the years, comes from relaxed poise as well as from clean Illness and glowing health. One who does not have to substitute nervous energy Cat least not often) for real physical energy and who manages to get her daily tasks done-and done well-without confusion, is sure to be more beautiful than the girl who seems always to be at loose ends.
 Some kind of plan for day in and day out living usually is what the woman without poise needs most. Even though it sounds pretty ele- mentary she might, for a time, write down a schedule for the fol- lowing day before she goes to bed at night. Then follow the schedule as closely as possible. If it's 8 well thought out one, it will allow time for emergencies that arise as well as for what she knows must be done.
 One of the most poised business women I have ever known says she simply could not do her work in an energy-saving relaxed manner without definite plan. For m- stance, she always answers the mornings mail as soon as she has read it. Letters that come in during the day are put aside and answered with the next mornings batch. This way, she doesn't have letters on her mind when she begins writing ad- vertising copy.
 Also, she doesn't make lunch dates, except with people in her own office. More often than not she lunches alone and uses the hour for quiet, calm thinking as well as for eating. She comes back ready to do a full afternoons work instead of rushing from one end of town to the other trying to meet someone for lunch and get back on time.
 Allowing time enough for every thing makes for poise and a more- easy -to-live-with disposition. Arrive at the station ten minutes before the train is due to leave, have a few minutes left after you've bought your ticket and a newspaper and see how much pleasanter the first few hours of the trip are. Get up fifteen minutes earlier so that you can walk instead of run to work and you'll notice how much more work you can do that day. It's as ise-breaking to be always in a nervous, jittery hurry as it is to be SO listless that your posture is of the slumping variety.

accessory combinations that have an air about them. You need one dark, practical group, of course (navy hat, bag and shoes for a navy or gray suit, black ones for black), but the rest should be gay-even a little breathtaking.
 One woman we know got simply handsome navy suit, slim-skirted with a rather soft, single-breasted jacket, and navy shoes, hat, bag and gloves. The hat is finished with a huge Chinese red poppy and her scarf matches it. Now she's looking for a pale blue blouse and suede beret to match some pale blue, washable doeskin gloves her mother sent her for a valentine. She's go- ing to get a frivolous pink organdy blouse and some short pink gloves for dress-up occasions, too. And, later on, may add wine-red shoes and wine-red bag to the list. She's really having good time doing things to and with the only outfit she has so far. Whats more, she looks better, day in and day out than she's ever looked in her life.

 Bridge League
 One of the first things taught the beginner at bridge is the f1nesse, by means of which needed trick can often be obtained. When skill in play is attained, however, the bridge player spends much of his playing time looking around for chances to avoid putting in practice the prin- ciple of play he learned first, for he knows that the finesse at best is an even chance, and sometimes other plays will give him much greater margin of safety. It was because Walter Buswell of East Orange, N. J., had mastered the art of avoiding illnesses that he made his contract on today's hand.
 An opening diamond lead would have defeated the contract, as it would have forced the taking of the unwelcome flnesse, but the lead of the club sequence was entirely

A comparative newcomer to the screen, she was forging ahead by leaps and bounds when she became Mrs. Allan Jones. Then, she decided upon 8 quiet life instead of a career. Her gorgeous eyes, framed by glamorOus, sweeping dark lashes, sparkle brilliantly when she laughs. She has a sweet mouth, with upturned corners, and beautiful, even white teeth.

Intensive Highway Safety
Program Gets Results In

Charlotte, Nov. %. - Increase
travel to the Carolinas during winter
and summer and more intensive

areas during the past summer and
that the fall and early winter book
ings for the Sandhills and winter re-

last year.
Highway traffic fatalities this year
are expected to show at reast a 20
per cent decrease over the 39,7no
deaths in 1887, it was brought out dur
ing a full days session on safety
Among the reasons advanced for this
sharp reduction, which will approx
mate 5000 lives, were: motorists arc
responding to highway. safety educa-
ton; stricter regulations on motor
lists and less highway travel because
of economic conditions.
The meeting adopted program
with Is planks in the platform. One

Last week was big one for revo-
cation of drivers licenses, no less
than 1877 being taken away to bring
total revocations in North Carolina
to date to 1888.
Drunken driving, as always, was
far and away the chief chief cause
for revocation, with us cases to its
discredit. Ten licenses were taken up
for hit and run driving, and no less
than nine persons were assessed addi-
tional penalties when caught driving
after their licenses had already been
revoked or suspended. There wer
three cases of larceny of automobiles.
Ages of the revokees ran from 18 to
81.
