.BEAUTY--- Glorifing
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

NEA Service Stan Writer A leakproof compact small enough to carry in the pocket of a jacket or skirt - cologne and toi- let water which she'll like better than perfume for daytime, a pound | jar of her favorite cleansing cream, a very large jar of night cream, lipstick with a top that won't come off easily-these are just a few of the beauty preparations that any college girl would like to receive as going-away present.
 Of course, nothing would please her more than a kit of items that aren't exactly glamorous but which she'll have to buy out of her small allowance. This might include, for example, several tubes of toothpaste, three or four toothbrushes, a huge bottle of mouthwash, dental floss and several cakes of soap.
 A manicure kit, completely equip ped with emery boards, scissors, or ange sticks, cotton and cuticle cream as well as polish, cuticle oil and polish remover, makes a perfect present. And kit of evening make up, including two shades of powder, mascara, eyeshadow, and a lipstick, is something eles any coed will be thrilled to get.
 Consider, too, a bath powder mitt. It has large quantity of bath pow der in the palm between two layers of Turkish towelling, and the pow der sits through when the mitt is patted against the body. Easy to pack and carry round the dormitory from her room to the bath. it does mt let powder spill on the rug or fly all over the furniture.
 If you aren't sure of her color ing or preferences, there's new lipstick that answers this problem nicely. Made by a well-knoWn cre- ator of perfumes and cosmetics, the sealed lipstick is packed in a box with three small samples-one the same shade as the lipstick and the other two in different tones. Before breaking the seal, the recipient can try sample number one to see if she likes the lipstick. If not, she can try the other two and decide which she does like. If the seal isn't brok- en, any store will exchange the lip-

 I am happy to see on today's report cards a space for marks in industry and application. Industry finishing" a task.
 One day watched a small class of pre-schoolers making funny little doo-dads that looked like nothing at all. One was making doll dress, one boat, another a house. The teachers were having a little head ache trying to make each one FIN ISH his own idea and carry it through to the final period.
 When Interest Thins
 There is tremendous worth in completion. Not only from the standpoint of efficiency, but in slanting attitude properly. Well be- gun, half done," goes the old saw. Too often our younglings read it, Well begun, all done" When in terest wears thin, off they go on a tangent to something else. And our friend, singleness of purpose, has lost more disciples.

 Congenital Dislocation of Hip
 What causes a baby to be born with dislocated hip? Is such baby deformed, or might 1t happen while the baby is being brought into the world? (Mrs. c. M)
 Answer-It is development fault the rim of the socket in the hip bone fails to develop sufficiently to prevent the head of the thigh bone from slipping out of joint. No known cause. May happen in any family. Copyright 1888, John F. Dille Co.y

 Just one word of warming. Some times a child has to be pulled off hopeless task. Consider music, for instance. This requires some liking and an ounce or two of na- tural bent. But good hard dig at it or anything else won't hurt until actually proven useless.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-08-16

I could get along without dining room or special dining room furni- ture. therefore converted what had been intended as dining room into sitting room. I purchased a swing-leg table that folds away when not in use, and secretary to hold linens. bought wing arm- chair, some rush-reed chairs and a fireplace, and with these arranged Colonial dining and sitting room. am now building a new i've room house and have not planned dining room. This means a saving of expense in building. The living room is large and arranged so the swing-leg table and secretary may be placed at one end, before the fire place, or in any other part of the room for convenience and light. The kitchen has a working space at one end with window facing south. The other end of kitchen is arranged to use as a dining space or has breakfast nook where a meal can be served in a hurry. Here there is a window overlooking the garden. The house has an attached garage with a studio over it; the studio can be closed off from the rest of the house for quiet and privacy. On the sc-- ond floor there are two bedrooms and one bath. On the ground floor there is also small powder room, with lavatory and toilet, and screen-in porch on the south side of the house and an open terrace at the rear where sunbaths can be taken.
 have had enough experience liv- ing in a house without 8 special dining-room to be glad I did not in- clude such room in the plans for my new home. Miss L. V. O.
 Twenty years ago when we built our house "it wasn't done" without dining room. But I'd much rather have a larger living room with a table in the end nearest the kitchen which we could use as dining table only when we have more company than the breakfast nook will accom- modate. Ordinarily all members of. the family prefer to have all meals in the breakfast nook, for it is pretty and cheerful, with a large window overlooking the rear lawn and the garden beyond; besides it is very convenient, saves me many steps, and permits me to join in the con- versation whilst dish up the meals Of course, where there is cook or a maid it may be different. Yet for my preference. I'd prefer to have no separate dining room. (Mrs. F. w. F)
 Cook or no cook, maid or just Ma, my heart sinks when I am sum- moned to dinner in a spiffy dining room with lot of tidies and things to razzle the eye. But lick my chops when the hostess takes me by the hand and leads me out to the kitchen or maybe into the breakfast nook or over to the other side of the living room and says Soups on, let's go."
