Style Chats

Paris - (U.P) - At the Auteuil races the beautiful blond Countess of Chabannes started a fashion trend with the bright red pinch beck" comb she wore fastened on the exposed side of her smart straw glengarry hat. These "pinchbeck combs are just the thing to ensure a smooth coiffure throughout ex- citing sports events.
 Another smart hat was worn by the Marquise de BoiSgelin. Her toque was draped with grass-green sheer wool which hung below her shoul- derS in back Exactly in the middle of the drape was an embroidered dark purple prancing horse, which seemed to be in motion whenever the wind huttered the drape.
 Wearing a navy blue soldier cap stitched with white yarn was the Princess Gagarine. Her three-quar- ter length straight and quare" op- posum coat was also trimmed with white stitches of yarn on the navy blue military collar of kid.
 CapeS of blue wool lined with fiery red and bright green horse plaids which no horse would be seen wearing - were among the outstanding costumes at both the Auteuil and Longchamps race courses. These capes were worn over plaid skirts and hats. The right side of one plaid hat was tipped low over the eye, while the other side shot straight up, topped with tall green and red feathers. Another plaid hat was large, round and -the-face.

worlds luckieSt woman. That be- ing married to him is the biggest break she ever got-and that he has done as well as any man could have done in his place.
 She does it by being happy in- stead of letting herself be miser- able. By appreciating each little thing he does for her. And by never comparing him unfavorably with other men, or her lot with that of wives more financially blessed.
 If she happens to be married to successful man she is just as eager that he know she appreciates him. For she realizes that success is pretty stale, if there is no one close to value it.
 Instead of belittling his progress she makes him look back with pride on what he has accomplished and makes him confident that he can do bigger things.
 No man is ever beaten whose wife believes in him whole-heart- edly, and lets him know it. For even if success never comes, he is still not a failure. She knows he isn't and he accepts her valuation.

needed. Inhibitions need encour- aging, and habit does the trick.
 If Jack were to grow up a savage, these things would come along in their own good way, in their own good time, but we have to rush these inhibitions a bit. And by routine and regularity, kindness but firm ness, hold selfishness in check just enough to improve our baby. Be- sides, it is kindest in the end to help him to control himself.
 Habit a Counter balance
 The little child has to be shown the way, so that later he, won't have too much to fight, and can go the rest of the way on his own momentum, alone. Again, habit is one staff that nature has given the parent to help train the chil- dren, as a counterbalance between will and desire, between Self-in- dulgence and self-control.
 I mention all these things only to show that small children are frequently blamed for being bad when they are merely true to in- stinct. Good habit grows, when encouraged, and thus inhibitions grow. The child has adaptability and conformity in him, at some times more than others, but It IS there as a starting point, anyway Copyright, 1888, NEA Service, 1ncJ

 And here I have to use again that unacceptable word complex" For complex, natural complex, is not twist as most people think, but something that belongs right there in the mind.

Cause of birth mark, nevus, is unknown. It is silly to imagine such blemishes are due to any real or fancied prenatal impression or hap pening or shock.
 In nearly all cases rile cosmetic appearance may be much improved by one or another surgical treat ment. In some cases the birth mark may be completely obliterated Among the surgical methods em- ployed by physician skin specialists skilled in this field are the electric needle, carbon dioxide snow, the pointed cautery, electro-dessication electro-coagulation, &-ray, cold quartz lamp ultraviolet ray, full guration (sparking with high ire quency current, radium, exciSion with autogenous skin grating (cov- ering the defect with bits of the patients own skim, skilful cauter- ization with trichloracetic acid, and sometimes chemical tattooing.
 The earlier in life birth mark is treated the better the cosmetic result is likely to be. AS soon as the infant is evidently thriving the treatment of the blemish should be undertaken. Faint marks may fade in the course of several months if left alone, but if there is actual augmentation or thickening or evil dent enlargement of blood vessels in the nevus, it is not likely to disappear spontaneously.
 Tattooing for other than legi- innate surgical purpose shoud be regarded as crime and both the artist" and the weak-minded vic- tim should be punished, in order to impress upon the public the vicious ness of such mutilation.
 Sometimes such a mutilation of the skin, if of small area, may be removed by chemical tattooing, or by electrolySis.

 Yourself
By Alicia Hart

The girl who wants to look her best from every angle sees her hair dresser immediately after she buys new spring hat. She knows the bonnet is fiattering to her face, but she depends on her favorite coiffure expert to make it enhance the beauty of her profile and the back of her head.
 Extremely long bobs which pour over the shoulders in waterfall" fashion are out. You can wear a long bob with any of the bonnet type hats, but it ought to be dressed on the neckline-not below. One especially attractive coiffure of this type is swept back at the sides in smooth, wing-like rolls which against a huge bonnet, make a charming frame for the face. An inverted curl on the forehead may be worn outside the rim of the hat or brushed backward.
 It's mistake to try to wear sailor or any adaptation of the Vatican atop a long bob-even one dressed on the neckline. Either of these high-setting types calls for fill-in between the nape of the neck and crown of the head.
 In other words, try the daytime version of the popular unswept coiffure - something dressed high, and allowed to disappear in a roll underneath the hat. The average woman looks best, during daytime hours at least, with a hairdress low enough not to be severe, yet high enough to fill in the expanse of the head revealed by a forward-swoop- ing hat. A thick roll, midway be- tween nape of the neck and edge of the hat, does the trick. So do rows of curls.
 Naturally, no coiffure will be ut terly fiattering or easy to manage if your hair isn't perfectly healthy, shiningly lustrous. Always have shampoo once a week and begin right now to use a hair-brush every night. Brushing not only keeps the hair clean and the scalp free form dandruff or flecks of dry

POLES

Audiences who enjoy plenty of action in their mystery pictures are in for an exciting evening when they see "Arsene Lupin Returns" which opens Wednesday at the Loew Poli theater, with Melvyn Douglas, Virginia Bruce and War ren William in featured roles.
 The screen play. based on the famous character in French detec- tive fiction created by Maurice Le- Blanc, is fast-moving adventure drama, from it's start in the offices of "G-Men" in New York city, to the work of the French surete in Paris.
 A love triangle, with vir- ginia Bruce as the beautiful feminine attraction for Melvyn Douglas and Warren William, pro- vides interludes of ramonce in the exciting plot.
 The story, vibrant with action and surprise situations, gives Miss Bruce an excellent opportunity for a contrasting portrayal of comedy and drama. Melvyn Douglas is easy and natural in his performance with plenty of punch at climaxes of the plot. Warren William, who is an expert at playing screen detec- tive, gives rapid fire portrayal as a super "G-Man" who turns to pri- vate detective work.
 The De Grissac emerald is only surpassed in beauty by Lorraine, daughter of the family, who is al- most as much temptation to Arsene Lupin and Emerson, former G-man, his pursuer, as the jewel itself. The thief leaves clues that point to Arsene Lupin, who is supposed to be dead according to reports of the French police.
 Farrand, gentleman farmer, final ly is forced to steal the jewel to prove identity of the real murderer and would-be thief. The final re- turn of the jewel means marriage for Lorraine and Farrand, and the permanent retirement of Arsene Lupin.
 Geoge Fitzmaurice's direction gives vigor and realism to the fast moving plot. Scoring in important supporting roles are John Halliday. Nat Pendleton, Monty Woolly and E. E. Give.

Joe Gets Going

The going wasn't easy for Joe in
the early stages of the season. The
hits didn't blast into the outfeld as
they had in his two previous years
and home run was something of a
curiosity. But Mccarthy stuck with
him. AS matter of fact he tried to
drop Di Maggie into the lineup as
a pinch-hitter on opening day, but
was overruled by Business Manager
Ed Barrow. That gesture, as well
as McCarthy's serene confidence in
him when Joe apparently couldn't
get going, was a convincing evil
dence that his manager believed the
slump was only temporary. Joe's
performance in the home stretch of
the pennant race proved how right
, Mccarthy was.
Finishing his third year in the big
leagues, Joe Di Maggie can rest and
invite his soul. His batting average,
and also his record for runs bat
ted in and runs scored mark him as
one of baseballs greats. His field
ing is above reprOach and his throw
ing arm saves a respectable num-
Der of runs for Yankee pitchers
when opposing runners try for ex-
ira bases.
Those who know this young Italian
say Di Maggie is misunderstood
player. He has a reputation for
aloofness that borders on the snooty.
This is shyness, say his friends.
