By Donna Grace

DURING the past summer Hollywood
~ began to frown on sunburn and
freckles. Even a deep tan is conSid-
cred miSdemeanor of some kind, and
among the producers and directors there
has been a movement on foot to taboo
all deliberate sunbathing. They have
even gone so far as to insert the ban
on tan" in the contract of some Of the
important ones, as it is serious thing
to interrupt a picture just because the
little star sat too long in the sun.
When it comes to telling these little
screen beauties what they must do. direc-
tors are pretty clever-they just an
nounced they preferred the fair-skinned
girls. Mel Berns, makeup director OF
RKO, says the rugged, outdoor look is
definitely "out." The dusky complexion
and freckles, so interesting season ago,
is no longer smart.
He tells us when girl needs to en-
phasize the color of her eyes with a
darker complexion, she may do it nicely
with the proper makeup.
For those who must bring back the
soft whiteneSs to the skin, he offers this
simple formula: Mix equal parts of
lemon Juice and warm water, then take

The shy girl-and, despite
reports to the contrary, there
are plenty Of them left-rlses
to the bait of hearing herself
talk. That was the secret of the
one Wendell sister who achieved
matrimony. You remember the
Wendels {. the group of sisters
who were under the thumb of a
domineering brother.
SHE DEFIED HIM
The one sister to defy him
eloped with a clergyman, the
only man who had access to
the house. The clergyman drew
out Miss Wendel to talk about
Toby, the little white poodle
who used to romp in the mil
llon,dollar yard they kept for
him outside the grim old house
on Fifth Avenue. After that it
WIS comparatively easy for her
to pack an eloping bag and leave
a note on the pin.cushion for
her brother.
For the young lady who is
convinced. she has a soul, writes
poetry by the ream and gets it
back again from unappreciative
editors, the bait irresistible is
to get her to read some of her
rejected verses.
If she can't cook, you might
attempt reform by praising her
failures, and this will lead to
diEcision and suggestion to
study the cook book. Shove out
your chin meanwhile and eat
the awful conglomeration she
has prepared on the little elec-
trical instrument of torture.
Drink her coffee if it's indis-
tinguishable from tea. She'll
improve.
1T ALWAYS WORKS
Taken by and large, the most
tempting bait for the femme is
something she does not get as
steady diet. A good serviceable
everyday bait, warranted to land
all and Sundry from 16 to so
and even older, is-FLATTERY.
In a moment of expansiveness,
the much-married and now all
but-extinct Mdivani brothers
confided that that was their
secret of success. The irresist-
ible Mdivanis were constantly
making bigger and better mar
riages with tremendous wedding
presents from their brides to

OLIVES
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Will you kindly inform me If
1t is proper to take olives with
the fingers, or if the fork should
be used? There wasn't any olive
fork in the dish, and there was
a fork at my place, which I used
for my cake. A says that /
should have taken the olive with
my own fork. I took it from
the dish with my thumb and
index finger and ate it in the
same way. Did I do right, or
was A right. OLIVE"
With the serving dish Of
olives, the hostess should always
have some kind of silver or
silver serving piece .. the small
olive Serving-Spoon, or the
pierced serving fork, or a tea
spoon. If there isn't a serving
piece on the dish, then we may,
with propriety, take the olive in
our fingers, as the dish Is
passed. And you ate your olive
correctly, holding it between
your thumb and index finger,
nibbling the olive and then put
ting the pit on your plate, with
out having put the pit into your
mouth.

The same method should be used for

When the skin has been tanned, he

NAILS AND CUTICLES
Do not overlook the nails and cuticle
when doing the "back-to-normal" skin
treatment, as they suffer from drynesS
and it is not surprising to have the
nails break off and crack for the lack
of oil, SO massage them daily and al

ALL PUZZLED
When J. B. Priestley'S new
play, Time and the Conways,"
opened in New York recently,
critics and public alike were in.
terested in. and a little puzzled
by, the theory of continuous
time which underlies 1.-THE
idea, that is, that past, present
and future exist simultaneously,
as a railroad track exists for its
entire length although the train
is at only one spot at any one
moment. 1t is not a simple idea
to explore, and the feeling in
some quarters is that the stage
is not precisely the right me-
dium in which to explore it.
Claude Bragdon has treated it
more fully in two of his books
published by Alfred A. Knopf,
"A Primer Of Higher Space"
and "Four-Dimensional VistaS;;"
and it has been examined at
even greater length by another
Borzoi author. P. D. Ouspensky,
in "A New Model of the Uni
verse" and "Tertium Organum.
The last named book. published
in 1922, has had a steady public
ever since; its circulation has
now reached more than $4,000

on Cotton-Plan Held
Time Saver.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Flue-cured tobacco growers may vote
December 10 on whether they want a
1889 marketing quota.
That is the date Of the cotton control
referendum. and William Collins chief
of the A. A. A. tobacco section, said
today 1t was probable the tobacco poll
would be held then because a dual
election would facilitate the voting.
The hue-cured tobacco poll will be
taken in Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and
Alabama.
Marketing quotas for flue-cured to-
bacco were under attack this year in
courts Of Georgia and North Carolina.
A Georgia action was transferred to
Federal District Court at Valdosta. Ca.
where three-judge court ruled the
quotas constitutional
Under the program, growers are
given quota of tobacco which they
may sell without penalty Sales in ex-
cess Of allotments are subject to pen
