Try it. You'll find it particularly de-

FOR summer evenings, Joan Ben

liquid powder lotion on every inch of
hands and arms. She finds this pref
cradle to regular face powder be-
cause powder alone invariably rubs

should not stop with the face and
surely for the decollete gowns of sum-
mer, face, neck. arms and hands
should be regarded as part of the

first. This prevents a smudge line.
Also. when you fill in with lipstick
or paste rouge. be careful not to go
beyond that penciled line and If you
do, you can erase with a plain wooden
match sharpened to a point
Another hint from Miss Bennett:
Laugh when you put your rouge on
and apply powder rouge very lightly
to the section Of your cheeks which
bulges when you laugh. She says:
1T sounds silly, but works beautifully
and If you have never mastered the
art Of applying rouge skillfully-just

Medals
Or Merits
Of OfWork
Qualifications of
Charm Must Not
Enter Into 1t.
By ANGELO PATRI,

THIS is the season for medals. The
prize winners are delighted. Of
course, and the near prize winners are
unhappy The teachers and parents
look thoughtful and begin to ask.
"Are these awards any good? Do they
help a child to do thing he would
not have done anyway, and quite as
we'll without the medal? Ought we to
give prizes? Are the awards always to
the worthy?"
These questions have been asked
since the first medal was awarded.
And we still award them. There must
be some good, some use, in a practice
that persists so strongly through the
years. Maybe it survives because 1t
is based on human vanity, the most
enduring of human traits.
Older folk. especially the teachers,
do not like the idea I am sure that
I don't, and yet we give medals to
children who earn them. The chill
dren like them very much. When I
was the age of these youngsters, I
would have liked to win one. I re-
member one earned and did not get
and perhaps that is the reason that 7
look with little dread, little dislike,
upon the whole business.
Still. 1t has its uses, know. A
medal does not inspire a child to do
excellent work unless he already has
the power and the will to do it. The
reward is recognition of his gift and
his accomplishment. It is recognized
by the higher schools as an academic
honor and opens the door to the stu
dent at once. It enables him to enter
without preliminary effort the school
that welcomes his gift. That helps.
And 1t has a tonic effect on the spirit
OF the winner that must not be dis
regarded.
Most Of the trouble arises in the
attitudes Of the grown-up folks who
award the medals. Some of these
people are not without personal preju-
dlces One does not like the sound of
candidates name; another wants to
win favor by bestowing it on his
friends child.
First set the rules, then stick to
them. Have all discussion in full
committee, and keep the minutes. It
is good to present work without iden-
tification, reports on candidates by
number, not by names. If naming
candidates can be avoided until the
decision Is arrived at, 20 much the
better.
Let the awards be made for def.
nitely prescribed work. not for per-
sonal qualifications like charm, per-
sonality. most helpful, best hammered.
These qualities must be measured In
terms of personal feeling, not actual
Judgment based on produced work.
The work is there to speak for itself
and its creator, and can be judged
and awarded merit mark, a scholar
ship or a medal. It is difiicult to be
impersonal about personalities. Give
the awards for work accomplished and
the medal is likely to 60 to the right
person.
AZ long as medals are recognized
as academic honors, they are useful.
The conditions Of the award, however,
are extremely important. Let them
be above reproach.

Dorothy Dix Says
Widowers Wise to Marry if They
Pick Wife From Own Age Glass.
IT IS A dreary thing for a man or

IT IS A dreary thing for a man or
woman to eat meals with no one
to talk to but Fido or the cat, and to
spend long solitary evenings killing
time reading about the last murder or
playing Idiots Delight Yet this is
the unhappy fate Of numberless
widows and widowers who long for
mates. but are kept from remarrying
by thinking they are too old. or that
their friends will criticize them, or
because their children object.
Yet these oldsters need husbands
and wives just as much as the young
do and have just as good a chance of
happiness in marriage. For even if
they cannot inspire IN each other
romantic love. they can give each
other sustaining friendship. and that
Is what all happy marriages come to
in the end
It enables them to have their own
home and live in peace, dignity and
independence. instead of being driven
by sheer Loneliness into being enforced
guests In their children's homes, where
they have to be either rubber stamps
or else flrebrands And it saves. the
children's homes from the eternal
friction that is always engendered by
having . mother-in-law or a father
in-law in them.
1t is folly to talk about children and
parents sufdcing each other for COM
panionship. no matter how devoted
they are to each other. They belong
to different generations and that space
of time even love doesn't bridge when
it comes to mutual understanding.
The children are bored with Fathers
and Mothers "reminiscences and with
their references to people and places
and amusements of which they have
never heard. And Father and Mother
find their children's conversation
about things Of which they know Moth
ing and in which they take no interest
equally dull So the two soon talk out.
It Is only the people Of our own age
with whom we are really companion
able. and that is why it is good thing
for the elderly to remarry

Queen Anne to remind us of the COM
Portable, sensible, honey Dutch
houses The favor of royalty meant
very little at that time; the court was
dull and uninteresting, and furniture
design Just grew" developing nat
urally from one logical change to
another as need demanded and pros
perity advanced.
TRADE with the Orient was picking
up. Fabrics and ceramics which
were traded by every New England
sea captain from China and India
awakened the new world to beauty.
India prints and muslins were on
every order. and carved jade, sandal
wood and teakwood were not unknown
in the primmest sea coast cottage at
Marbiehead or Salem.
New England was the early center
of furniture building. The Yankees
interests were commercial. while those
of the Southern colonies were agri-
cultural. Furniture was still imported
from England by the wealthy planters,
but the Yankee trading ships plying
the coast brought homemade" furni-
ture to jamestown and New Orleans,
and it Is not unusual to find the same
chair or table in the small house OF
Williamsburg, Va, that is used in
Vermont.
During all of this time we find two
distinct types of furniture developing.
The court type the elaborate ex-
quisitely finished pieces made in the
great capitals of Europe by the finest
workers, for the palaces or the homes
of nobility This found its way to
America for the homes of very
wealthy colonists. In both Europe
and America we find a peasant type
of furniture made by rural carpenters
for farmhouse use that in its general
lines is suggested by the fashion trend,
but is ornamented in most ingenious
way which is entirely original. In
America we have a third version of
these two types; the fine lines and ex-
quisite finish of the court type car
ried out in native woods, somewhat
simplified to conform to the life and
the mode of this country, but fash
ioned by skilled and thoroughly COM
petent workers. This is the furniture
that has survived. and is truly Amer
lean. 1t expresses our way of living
and our idea of home" better than
any other before or since.

Ice Is Excellent

IN so many salon facial treatments
and have used it myself that I can
not believe it is harmful. The one
precaution is: Do not put the ice
directly on the skin, but wrap it In
gauze or thin linen If the skin is
very sensitive. avoid using ice and
for that matter do not use very hot
water either =. in other words, ex-
tremes Of temperature may irritate
such skin. But for the average skin,
1t is one of the finest astringents and
perhaps the least expensive. Mr..
