Makeup for
The Entire
Evening
Necessary Repairs
Should Be Done in
A Dressing Room
By ELSIE PIERCE.

THE acid test is: How do you look
when you're saying goodby? The
one who wins sincerest admiration is
she who looks lovely the whole evening
through, without too-obvious repair. A
word to the wise: Even in this day Of
frankly accepted makeup. men still
marvel at the girl who keeps them
guessing as to whether she does use
makeup or not, and if she does, when.
If you must refer to the rouge puff once
or twice during the evening. do so in
the privacy of the women's dressing
room instead of in public.
However, if you plan your makeup
and prepare your skin for it, you may
find that it pays dividends in lasting
quality. For instance, if your skin is
normal or dry, cleanse with cleansing
cream, remove with tissues, pat with
skin tonic Or freshener. Dry. Apply
light creamy foundation, using only as
much or as little as directions call for.
Blend it carefully until it is smooth
as-satin film Now follow with cream
rouge, blending this too SO that there
isn't trace of harsh, definite edge.
Now, powder generously, f1uffng on as
much as you feel you need and more
Don't rub it in. With powder brush
or a large piece of cotton smooth away
the excess. Now apply your lipstick
with one definite stroke on each half of
the upper lip, rub lips together, press
over a cleansing tissue to remove ex-
cess, make sure the color is we'll inside
the lips. Now mascara, eyeshadow and
pencil. And-you are all set.
If your skin is oily, instead of using
a cream foundation, choose a liquid
powder the color of your skin. Use q
special anti-shine preparation for nose,
chin and forehead. This, by the way,
should follow after YOU have used your
cream rouge, and while it is still moist
pat your powder again, very generously.
If the skin is blemished, and blem-
ishes have way of rearing their ugly
little heads just before the big party,
have handy a preparation in stick
form that will cover the ugly little
mark.
Put into practice all the little make
up tricks you know for apparently
changing your facial contour, conceal
ing facial flaws, minimizing feature
faults, deepening the color Of your eyes.
And remember that makeup will be
doubly effective If you are thoroughly
rested and sparkling and alive to the
occasion, to begin with. Have a good
time!

Friendship
Should Be
Stressed
Making Pleasant
Relations for
Year 1888.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

EVERY day IS beginning. Every
- morning gives US a fresh start.
And how much we need it! If We
had to carry all the mistakes and
sorrows and anxieties Of one day,
across the night and into the next
day and on and on, we would soon
sink under the load. We need the en-
couragement and the hope that is
born with every sunrise.
Once in every 365 days we make a
full stop. It is the end of the year.
With the next tick of the clock we
begin another one. The idea of be-
ginning anew, forgetting the things
that happened during the year that is
past, gaining on our old selves and
on our old ways fills us with JOY.
Happy New Year!
We plan little as to what We will
do with this nice new roll of days to
come. And We wish we could open a
few of them ahead of time just to
make certain they were going to bring
what We like most But that is for
hidden. We don't live even day at
time, but second by second. We
have only to do all we can as well as
We can, step by step, day by day,
until we arrive at the end of the job.
But we can hope and believe even
if we cannot know, and that is enough
What We hope for and what be be-
lieve in have a great deal to do with
what we get during the hours we work
and live. We do have something to
do with what happens to us and to
those we live with. What we think
decides what We do; what we do de-
cides our success and happiness and
affects people the round world over
We are never alone in what We suffer
Or enjoy.
The year that is gone has held
plenty of grief for the world, and also
plenty of joy. If we got more grief
than joy We are to blame, for the way
to JOY is always wide open. We could
get there with gesture of the hand.
If we made the wrong gestures we got
the answer that belonged. That holds
good throughout the world of men.
New Year Day Is fresh beginning
Each of us can use it as he pleases.
Wise folk will take the opportunity to
60 apart and consider Just how hap-
piness and success, peace and pros
perity can be brought in abundance to
their homes and to their neighbors.
Let's begin again. Let's give freely
where We withheld grimly. Let's credit
the other soul with intelligence and
good will. Let's forget the wrongs we
have suffered and set out to do our
best in whatever field of work is ours.
There is no heaven on earth, nc
angels in our daily round. We live in
an earthly world; we live with human
folk. Fundamentally we are all alike
Let's be friends and welcome friends
wherever We find them, in business, In
the neighborhood, church, abroad
Let's us this New Year Day to mark a
happy, friendly year. Going alone
anywhere. Is impossible. We Ill e
together. Let's begin.

to the many hostesses, or reception

10 CATS have a language all
their own! It's estimated at
about 800 words not counting
- symbols and scratching. Liv-
Ing IN town where the average in
habltant uses at least three different
kinds of noise wasn't complicated
enough. Some bright soul had to dis
cover the truth about cats and write
a vocabulary. Things like that make
the one-language person want to throw
up the hands and hide beneath a
couch.
Course, the situation might be ig-
nored with contemptuous shrug.
But then the curiosity rouses up. Be-
sides, any one who's been around the
feline knows that certain noises and
cries mean definite things. Take
the midnight war yowl for instance,
the plaintive requests to enter the
house, or that eager meouw at meal
time. Having such as a basis any,
thing might be so. Besides, they
laughed at Fulton's steamboat!
According to authorities, everything
kitty says doesn't actually start with
an M" This is quite we'll known
to those who listen to the back yard
chorus. Kitty uses the vowels "a
E, I. o, u" She selects a few
choice consonants ant, makes her
self understood vocally. The M
seems to be in front of most remarks
because she has to open her mouth,
and it comes out in the process. En-
phasis and enunciation are important
Take "meouw" for instance. As
''MEouw" 1t means beware" Used
In the ordinary tone of voice, no
emphasis anywhere the same signi-
lies . greeting. Then there's "aelio,'

years old, married to a Won
derful girl who Is a perfect
wife and mother, and have a
fine little son years old My trouble
Is that I do not love my wife. We
went together two years, but as soon
as We became engaged and set the
date Of our marriage realized that
I did not love her. Instead of telling
her the truth and letting her break
the engagement, I went ahead with
the wedding rather than hurt her. I
have successfully hidden my feelings
from her, but she knows that some
thing is wrong with me-thinks it is
my business. Now I have come to the
end of my rope. My nerves are at the
breaking point and find it almost
impossible to concentrate on my work.
Last summer sent her away for a
month thinking that separation might
bring us closer together, but instead
found matters worse. I dreaded her
return. When she is in one room, I
want to be in another. I can't bear
to be near her. And 50 it goes, day
in and day out. I have tried very
hard not to feel this way, but I can't
help it. Shall I tell her the truth
and ask her to divorce me, or shall
go on living the awful lie I have for
seven years?
AN UNHAPPY HUSBAND.
1t seems to me that you have let
yourself get so obsessed by the idea
that you are not romantically in love
with your wife that you are making
too much of it. You are permitting
it to wreck you in body and mind in
stead of taking it in your stride, so
to speak. What you need is to get
yourself together and try to bring a
little common sense and philosophy
to bear on your problem.

NO ONE will deny that love Is the
sweetening in the wedding cake.
Undoubtedly it does softpad the in
evitable trials and tribulations OF
matrimony for a man to be able to
see his wife as his dream girl The
ideal marriage as it is pictured by
poets and novelists is full OF thrills
and of husbands palpitating at the
footsteps Of their wives and spending
blissful evenings holding their hands,
even after they have got old and rheu-
matte and calloused with work. And
because you do not experience all of
these hectic feelings about the woman
you are married to. you think you
are. of all men, the most miserable.
But come down to brass tacks. View
marriage as 1t really is. How long
does romance last? Doesn't 1t begin
to look mighty bedraggled by the end
Of the first year of marriage? And
isn't it so worn out that 1t Is chucked
into the garbage by the end Of the
second year? How many Of your
friends, would you say, are still thrill
