they call it. Her studio classes

women who were low in their

whether their hats were on

Learning how to design hats

nearly always proves a powerful

that combines the joy Of crea-

Silhouette

In a chest Of homespun linen
Where lavendar was split,
We found her shadow portrait
Framed in a rim of gilt.
Released from prisonment Of
time,
We saw her image there,
High-waisted gown, neat gtrdles,
A tall comb in her hair.
Her slender throat, her eageE
lips,
Restrained in darkened shape
That kept the shadow of her
flame
But let her soul escape.

Bedtime makeup is not the

to use it. No doubt they are
inspired by the dainty night at
tire and feel it calls for some
makeup glamour. They may
even have remembered the eau
ton of the wise old colored
nanny who used to say:
Honey, the wust thing emmy

the bedtime makeup for the av-
erage girl, it is far better to put
one on if you are the type that
needs it. A little powder, and
possibly faint application of
lipstick. will relieve the pale,
dull look some persons have
when they begin the day.

The tonic effect of a new hat
transcends the effect Of any pos
sible medicine. It belongs in
the realm of magic.
Not that wretched little apok-
ogy for a hat that you bought in
a hurry at a basement bargain
counter and ever afterwards
wished you hadn't. But a hat OF
soft texture, subtitle line and
delicious color that enhances
your good looks, that "flatters"
you, as the milliners say. A hat
that you study and gloat over in
secret, with plenty Of mirrors. So
that you almost feel yourself
blossoming out into a new and
far more charming personality.
A hat that costs more than you
could afford, to be sure, but that
you respect for that very rea-
son.
Every woman knows the feel
ing.
And now, somewhat late in
the day, psychiartrists as well as
designers are waking up to the
implications Of this immensely
important fact.

alone, but in clothes in general.
Mrs. Romaine couldn't help
noticing that a loss Of interest
in clothes was a pretty bad
symptom in a woman, in fact,
the equivalent Of illness. Where
as, if you start one Of our mys-
terious sex at designing beauti-
full and becoming clothes for
herself, clothes that really

NJ OF all persons who wear
~ spectacles are aged and
worn. Furthermore, spec
tacles are no longer the
anathema to beauty they once
were. There are several rea-
sons. One is that the shape
of the lens has been made so
that it enhances the beauty
OF the eyes rather than to
detract from it, and there's a
flatteringly shaped lens for
every pair of eyes.
Subtle Tricks
Important
What looks out of your eyes is
more important than anything
that can be done to them by
art, yet there are subtle little
tricks by which eyes can be
made more beautiful and in
tereSting and every woman
should learn what these tricks
are.
Some people think that eve
makeup attracts attention to
the glasses Of girls who wear
them, but that is utter nonsense.
People gradually become accus-
toned to your glasses, forget all
about them and see only your
eyes. Just for your own
benefit, see if you can list the
people you know who wear
glasses. You'll find you can
scarcely remember whether they
wear them or not.

recollection of a face you've
seen, something is wrong. Either
the glasses are unbecoming or
they are badly fitted, or else
the hair style is such as to
focus attention upon them.
If you wear glasses, you
should make up your eyes just
as though you never wore
glasses. There is one exception,
if your lashes are long enough
to sweep the lens with lash
cream or mascara, you will
have to forgo these beautifiers.
Instead you can substitute pen
Cling and eye-shadow.
A half a dozen smart Pari-
slams who wear glasses are
matching the rims to their eye
shadow, for example pale blue
rims with pale blue eye shadow,
and blush green with clear rims.

give a good idea Of what
various eyeglasses do for

A Lesson
In Etiquette
Dear Mr.. Antheil:
May I ask you to help me in
my romance? 1t seems the man
I love doesn't rise when I intro
duce him to my lady friends.
When come into a room he just
sits and invites me to sit down
also. I thought of carrying a
flag, but that would make me
conspicuous. have also thought
of books on etiquette at the pub
lie library. But that is incon-
venient because of the distance,
and a little too obvious.
But he knows I am inter
ested in your column. So, if I
asked him to read it with me
some time and it happened to be
on the above subject, it would
soak in, I am sure. You might
mention that girls get off the
bus last, too. My boy friend
doesn't act like that to be he
mannish; he just doesn't know
the difference, I guess.
TRULY"
All! get the idea. You want
me to take care of this boys
neglected education, painlessly.
Get him unawares, as it were.
Why don't you speak for your
self, young lady? What a cow
ard you are! There is no rea-
son why you shouldn't do the
job yourself, tactfully. Tell him
laughingly hat you are going to
take him in haI.d and make him
a model of good manners. Tell
him that he is the most won
derful man in the world when
it comes to sterling qualities, but
is not up on his manners.
Talk About
Charm Schools
Write for a pamphlet on eti-
quette, most of the magazines
have them, or take that trip to
the library and get a good book.
Then tell him you and he will
brush up on the subject-to-
gether. Talk about the charm
schools, serious projects, that
are springing up all over the
country with the purpose Of
making people social-minded.
You can make it lots of fun prac-
ticing the rules you have learned.
You don't have to belittle him
nor shame him. Explain you are
fascinated with good manners
and want to brush up on them
yourself. Tell him that cul-
tured people who know how to
do the right things at the right
time, are more popular and are
accepted anywhere, while awk-
ward ill-mannered people cause
embarrassment, so, of course,
are not invited places. We all
want to improve ourselves. This
chap may not know the niceties
of good manners but may wish
to improve himself. He is just
unaware he is offending and it
is up to you to teach him the
tricks.
Good luck and let me know
how it works.

When YOU tell him these
things and tell him of the other
girls shortcomings and fauls,
he is just man enough to want
to find out about the other girl
himself. That throws him right
into her clutches, doesn't it?
Then all you can do is to cry
your eyes out and wonder why
he goes to see such a bad girl
after you told him all about her.
Mary, who writes the follow
ing letter to me, has erred in
her judgment of men:
Dear Mr.. Antheil: I am 20
and have been going with a very
nice boy Of the same age, for
two years. He doesn't drink or
smoke. His parents don't want
US to go steady as we are too
young to marry and I don't
blame them. But lately he has
been going out with another girl.
She smokes and drinks. He ad-
mitted she smoked when with
him and told him it was none of
his business.
"OtherwiSe she is nice girl.
But I can't understand why he
still goes with her since he is
50 against smoking and drink
ing. What should I say to him
or what should I do to make him
understand he shouldn't go with
her? MARY"
Not Your
Problem
You aren't this boys guardian.
What the other girl does is, as
she told your boy friend, none
Of your business" You are only
to be concerned with your own
behavior and with the behavior
of the young man when with
you. If you feel he is not fit to
60 with you when he associates
with girls who smoke and drink,
then you can refuse to give him
dates.
Her wickedness must be a fas-
cinating subject, especially when
1t shows how superior you are
to her. But don't you tell the
