AMP OLIVE shells make a
satisfactory showing in your
collection. The smooth sur
face is thick and heavily en-
ameled. It does not have any ridges,
knobs or roughness whatever, and
this permits perfect pattern to be
etched upon the surface.
This is tropical genus with about
one hundred species. These are dis
tributed mostly in Central America,
the Philippines. Maritius and Ceylon,
and it is one Of the genera that have
the shell partly If not completely Sc
creted by the foot.
These are some very rare and valu-
able olive shells. But the nature Of
all members OF this family Is such
that acids may be used on their outer
surfaces which reveal layers with a
very different pattern. Anyone not
knowing of this possibly may be able
to think it Is a very rare and un-
usual shell.
The porphyry olive, or camp olive,
is about 4 inches long and is the larg-
est species. 1t is a beautiful flesh
color, under which there is most
complex network of longitudinal. zig
gag lines of various shades Of brown.
The closeness Of these lines, you will
find, makes them appear to be broad,
irregular bands Of a reddish brown.
The callus which is reflected over the
lips of the shell from within is a
soft violet color that is lustrous and
cleaning The columella Is golden
brown with slight ridges. All of the
pale areas Of the surface are triangles
and these are margined with brown.
Someone looking at the etched sur
face of the shell, saw in 1t a re-
semblance to a vast number Of camps

name, Camp Olive. was given to it.
And the name, "porchyry," is from
the fact that the resemblance Is also
very distinct.
The outer lip of the olive shell is
simple. and the opening long. It Is
obliquely notched below, the operculum
is small, sometimes missing altogether.
The foot Is very large and grooved

IL all comes 1rOIn LIle now pre-
vailing custom of having a COM
plete beauty equipment on tap
in the office. No longer is primp-
ing frowned upon, just so it's
done where no one sees. The
young lady in the picture has
a private office or she would
not be putting on fresh make
up at her desk.
There are so many varieties Of
cases which can be easily car
ried back and forth to the
dressing-room, and which will
keep everything together while
the process is going on.
Such a case is a tremendous
time7saver and eliminates 20 to
80 motions which would be ne
ceSSary otherwise. Having a
fitted toilet case in your office
makes it possible to put on a
fresh makeup and step out
bright and new as a daisy in
the shortest possible time, and
we all know what saving time
means. Everything is ready
right under your fingertips.
The case pictured includes a
mirror, cleansing tissues in an
envelope which snaps down;
cleansing cream, skin-toner,
powder and base in two shades,
rouge, lipstick and eye shadow.

Colonial Days
Had BundIing

This most difficult Of prob
lens with which parents are
confronted is not new. Before
the days of the automobile and
the cheap roadside tavern,
"bundling" brought gray hairs
to parental heads even before
this country was an independent
nation.
Reverting to DR.. Popenoe:
This perennial problem can
not be solved by laying down
rules and regulations. If being
solved means finding some way
in which results will be 100 per
cent satisfactory, it will never
be solved at ALL"

WOOD, Aug. 16
G.N.SD-If hats had been in
vogue in the days of Eve no
doubt she would have rugged up
a little number of fig leaves to
match her gown because in the
beginning hats were so closely
related " the gown that they
were always made of the same
material. Then, in the second
period OF their existence hats
separated themselves from the
family tree and became the odd
member of every ensemble.
Now, a new school of hat de-
signers say the chapeaux should
contrast with the dress but match
some other portion of the en-
Semble.
Olivia de HaVilland launches
this latter period in an ensemble
we created for her to wear in the
Warner Bros. picture, wings
of the Navy" With a plain light
gray wool crepe frock, having
Surplice bodice and long fitted
sleeves, she wears a poStillion
hat and gauntlet gloves of a
deeper slate gray striped with
tufts of cerise. The material for
the matched pieces is an i'm
ported wool.

Barrie adores as seasoning for

featherwcight suede of Wallis
blue and each one is set off by

Her Problem

DR.. Paul Popenoe, director of
family relations, Los Angeles In
stitute, often quoted in this
column, says, "You can't solve
the problem for your own daugh-
ter; it's her problem, not yours.
You might be able to force your
views on her but at the risk of
leaving her less able to make
wise choices for herself in the
future"
There is, however, no side
stepping the fact that young
people should be made to under.
stand the consequences which
result from their actions--or,
more often, consequences which
have nothing to do with deci-
Sions but result from drifting
and lack of restraint.
Serious Instruction,
Needed
If parents feel themselves un-
equal to giving their children
instructions in health and sex
hygiene, they should see to it
that such courses are given by
a responsible person, who has
the general welfare of adde's
cents at heart. Not every lay
man-nnr every doctor, for that
matters competent to give
such instruction. Courses on
sex hygiene should be taught
by a trained adviser of the
highest type, one to whom ado
lescents can turn, knowing that
their condolences will be scrupu.
lously respected.
DR.. Goodwin Watson, Of Co
lumbia University, has suggested
a series uf questions that parents
should get girls to answer for
themselves. One of them is ex-
tremely apropos: Does petting
mean the same to both of you,
or is one callously exploiting
the Other to get feeling or
power or a cheap thrill?"
One should judge the situa-
tion differently, according to
which of these two possibilities
is realized.
