From another lovely dancer,
Ann Miller, we are told when a
girl, through lack of time or
ambition, fails to follow her
beauty schedule, she will keep
her skin clear, eyes bright and
figure perfect, if she will just
dance whenever she gets a
chance. That sounds like an
easy road to beauty. doesn't 1t?

Clever Planting
Of GdrdeniQs
Proves Success

Gardeners say it can't be
done, but Margaret Daum,
CHS. soprano, has gardenias
blooming in her New York
apartment. Margaret takes a
gardenia that she has worn in
a corsage, splits the stem and
inserts a hollyhock seed-any
other seed will do as long as it
Is small Then she fastens the
split ends together with thread
wound around firmly. The fad

tin can filled with dirt-Mar-

about the rust that helps-and

Planning ones future is any

But that is no reason why we
should not come as close to
doing it as we can. If you
will read the biographies and

will find they all knew pretty

it. They changed details, they
swerved slightly in their courses,

OUR Hollywood scout sends US
" the following little personal
doings Of your beloved stars:
We find there is a general i'm
preston that the feet OF pro
fessional dancers must be worn
and calloused most of the time
from constant exercise. But the
contrary is true, and among the
famous dancers we have known
all of them have good feet with
out the occasional corns and
aches SO common among wom-
en- and girls who lack exer-
else.
Ginger Rogers has lovely feet
and takes pride in them. too.
She sees to it that they are
pedicured every week, either by
a professional or done at home,
and for this she has cuticle oil
and the usual manicure set to
keep the nails free at the sides

heart. But her very first SEN
tence asks a-CURE. Aha!
Heart Hard
as Granite
Dear Mr.. Anthel: Is there
any cure for a heart as hard as
granite? The heart happens to
be mine. I am a decent bach
elor girl, have a good home, a
fair salary and many friends.
"A few years back a disillu-
sionment in love sent me hay
wire. The result Of that episode
is that I have a hard, cynical
heart. Though men are kind
to me, admire me and love me,
cannot reciprocate. I can only
give a platonic sort Of friend
ship. Their faults stand out. 1
use my head because my heart
doesn't count.
Faults like excessive drink
ing, dullness, lack of aggressive
ness and just plain laziness are
not sound bases for marriage.
When a girl sets sail on the sea
of matrimony she wants steady
craft, a seaworthy partner.
Maybe that, is why I prefer
single blesSedness and peace. Is
that fair answer for a career
girl? SUNSHINE"

have mentioned as belonging to
men can be duplicated in girls.

Clothes Types Sectional

Preferences in types of clothes women choose
to make seem to be purely sectional, according
to Miss Clarke.
In the New England States" she said,
"women want their cottons made shirtwast, plain
and well-tailored. Further South slightly fuffier
clothes are worm and strangely enough in central
New York State women generally choose dimities
and thin materials to be made up with trills."
She says that here in Washington this week
any number of girls have purchased cottons to
make up into tailored evening frockS, and that
they like tailored frocks for daytime as we'll.

Lewis Gets New
$275,OOO Office

WASHINGTON QPS) - John L.
Lewis moved his United Mine
Workers Union headquarters into
a new home here this week-a home
that was once the dignified Univer-
sity Club.
The union bought the club last
year for $275,OOO and has spent
thousands of dollars remodeling it
to suit the union chiefs needs. Mr..
Lewis's paneled office is on the
southeast corner, once part of the
University Club lounge, and from
his window he is able to see the
buildings that house the National
Labor Relations Board, the Nation
al Coal Association, the Mclean
mansion, the Cosmos Club and the
Veterans Administration.
Mr.. Lewis also has a private en-
trance to the building and a private
stairway 10 the conference room
back of his office. This conference
room, low ceilinged with a brick
fireplace, is finished in glazed ter
racotta with chestnut woodwork.
Most sumptuous of all, however,
is the private sixth floor suite which
union officials say will be used for
private conferences and dinners.
The suite includes a library, loun-
ge, dining room and kitchen. The
lounge has a huge stone firepla ce,
as does the library. Mr.. Lewis has
instructed elevator operators that
no one is to be taken to that floor
without his personal permission it
is reported.
Mr.. Lewis's private office is de-
scribed as being thirty-three by
twenty-eight feet, having a vaulted
ceiling and four easement windows
each sixteen feet high. From the
center of the ceiling hangs a, Geor-
gian chandler. The carpet Is wal
nut color and the wall paneling IS
chestnut with antique finish.

ARIZONA
IN WASHINGTON
By BOB MERKLEY

With only a cursory glance at
the recently finished special ses-
sion it appears that Congress ac.
complished very little. 1t made no
laws of any Importance, and wrangl.
ed over everything that came along.
1t openly and brazenly defied the
President, the lobbyists and even
the people. Then it voted itself a
nice fat chunk of mileage money
and went home
That is what is seen by the casual
observer, the perennial crouch, the
scared citizen and the Old Guard.
But what did the nations lawmak-
ers really accomplish while they
were here?
Their were long days and nights
spent in the study of even the most
trivial parts of such proposed leg
islation as the wage-and-hour bill,
the farm bill and others. Reports
and records were worn and tattered
by the time they received their holi-
day respite. Every man and wo-
man on Capitol Hill who has an
iota of interest in such matters has
assimilated all available informa-
ton concerning those major bills.
They could vote on any of them
right now and know what they were
doing.
Another logical reason for delay
ing the passing of legislation might
be in the fact that there was some
rather significant knowledge to be
available only with the coming Of
the new year. There were many
decisions which the Presidant and
his Cabinet would have to make
known. But those decisions were
not forthcoming before the deadlne.
The President had to declare his
mind by a certain time, while Con
gress could wait indefinitely. Con
gress waited Even so, the Presi-
dent made his decisions with his
fingers crossed and reserved the
right to change them.
Some anxiously awaited informa-
ton was the outcome of the un-
| employment census. The results
were only tabulated in the last
hours of 1897. How could Congress
make judicious move to help the
unemployed when it had no definite
knowledge of what or where the
situation might be?
With it all in minds of statesmen
was that omnipresent demon
the coming campaign. All Repre-
sentatives and a third of the Sen
ators must go home next summer
and once mole plead their cases be
fore the rank and file. Congress
may have some good things in
store for it's people, but there is
| little wonder that those things are
held back until the last minute. The
Forgotten Man is too likely to for
get.
