Hew up on n Chicago and Southern
Airiines plane and was met at the
Chicago airport by an enthusiastic
group of friends, among them Mrs.
Marjorie Stewart Joyner, president
of the National Beauty Culturists
League, Inc, who presented me
with a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
The purpose Of the trip, Of course,
was to attend the convention of the
National Beauty Culturists League
the week of September 2. Besides
the excitement of the plane ride Il
must confess It was my first time
in the mir and I was q bit nervous
at frst), there vas a parade and
n series of dances and other social
gatherings along with the serious
work OF the convention.
The convention, itself, was a tre-
mendous success. The National
Beauty Culturists League has been
n powerful influence In the up
building Of the industry. Its pur-
poses, you know, are to encourage
continued Improvement of methods
of treating the hair, scalp and skin
to gather and distribute scientific

FASHIONS
By j. SANFORD

Afternoon! Teas, cocktails, low
cred lights subdued voices and of
course the most important thing
Of all that rich looking suit or
smart afternoon dress. I have two
in mind for an important after
noon out. The first one is a square
s~houldered coat dress Of black
wool. 1t buttons to the hip with
self covered buttons. A swirl of
fox fur at the throat and at the
hip gives this dress a look of lux
ur~iousness, which wins much admi-
ration for the wearer.
The second costume is a softly
draped n of green crepe. The
gathered neckline is high and drap-
ed and is clipped at the right
shoulder, with a sparkling clip.
Just above the waistline, are two
bows of gold lame. From these
falls a column of the same mater
ial, draped the length of the dress.
This costume is certain to give one
that envied look of sophistication.

More than three hundred licensed
beauticians, owners, proprietors and
managers attended the convention.
There were fifty booths represent
ing the local and larger beauty
shops. There we're demonstrations
and lectures for the thousands Of
spectators on the progress and
newest innovations In Race beauty
culture.
I am terribly enthusiastic about
all this because I think our own
system of beauty culture Is OF ut
most Importance. To be truly sue
cessful in the field of cosmetology
we must have our own methods,
OWL makeup and cosmetics, made,
especially for our types of skin and,
colorings, and manufactured ex-
pressly to suit our varying needs.
Such marvellous strides have been
taken in this direction that I am
delighted. The plane ride was just
the beginning of my excitement. I
am still thrilled to death.

bic, and hidden by the foliage.
Fill this funnel with water every
ooc5ation has been in existence

T sting Coffee
A way to test the quality of
coffee is to put . spoonful in

few drops of lemon juice. If the
coffee is pure, it will remain on

The Patch Bag
A most practical patch bag can
ba made from a yard or two of
mosquito netting. This enable one
to see the c~ortents from the out

emtpying the entire contents to
find the exact piece of goods
wanted.
Pouring from Cans
The secret of porting liquid
from the cans is to make two holes
in the can instead of one about
an inca apart. The one hole is
for the liquid to pour from, the
other hole to let the air into the
can.
