An Irish Formula
Said to Relieve
Burning Feet
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

| This came from Geraldine Fitz-
gerald, the Irish beauty who is now
gracing Hollywood. The formula
she claims, comes direct from the
"auld sod" and is excellent to relieve
the burn and ache from tired feet.
Melt one-half ounce spermaceti
and an equal amount of white wax
in a double boiler. Take it of the
fire, carefully stir it while you ado
two-thirds ounce of spirits Of
camphor. Mix thoroughly and then
cool it. Rub the feet with this ice
after foot bath, whenever they call
for attention.
In spite of hundreds of marvellous
lotions on the market, one can
hardly beat the old rose water and
glycerin formula. Ask your druggist
to mix it for you and to add few
drops Of benzoin. The benzoin helps
to bleach the hand skin.
Another bleaching trick is this.
Keep in the bathroom a package
of zinc oxide powder and when the
hands are we'll lathered with soap,
apply bit Of the zinc oxide powder
under the nails. It bleaches and also
heals any tiny abrasions.
II you have trouble in bleaching
your leftover tan and your skin is
sensitive, try adding the juice of a
good sized lemon to an egg facial.
1t should be kept on the skin for a
half hour and used not more fire.
quently than twice week.
When a lock of hair gets a bit
unruly between your visits to the
hairdresser. dampen it with a bit
of cologne or perfume and roll 1t UP
on metal curler of mammoth pro-
portions. Do not use water, for
water and smaller curriers' make the
hair too fuzzy
AS cologne and perfume dry
rapidly (or evaporate) you may set
your rebellious curls while you are
taking bath or shower, prepara-
tory to stepping out. BY the time
you are dressed the curls have set
ana TO DOOt, you are wearing your
favorite fragrance in a novel way.
Whether your skin is dry or oily
you may have the problem Of a per-
sistently shiny nose.
For the oily skinned gal there is a
special anti-shine powder which is
used after a thorough soap and
water washing. It absorbs super
fluous grease and keeps your make
up pretty intact for about six hours.
To hold powder in place on a very
dry skin, there is an anti-shine
liquid to be applied after the usual
face cleansing. It is a marvel for
keeping your skin dewlike, and par
ticularly nice to have on hand when
those unexpected rum blossoms"
appear in the wake of a head cold.
If you write me shall gladly give
you the names of these beauty aids
and tell you where you might buy
them. Do inclose a self-addressed,
stamped (3-cent) envelope to cover
the cost of replying to your request.

are the Tamerlane tones-named
after a famous Asiatic conqueror
of five and half centuries ago.
Tamerlane decreed that his saga
be depicted in rich tapestries and
draperies, and it is from these that
the four tones have been taken.
Two are on the brownish side-a
darker color resembling berry
bush of Asia, and lighter honey
colored shade. Both of these are
used in fabrics of suits and coats,
with the accent colors, luscious
violet and glowing pink, also re-
peated in the material. Bags, hats,
blouses, gloves and all other acces-
sories have been done in the new
Tamerlane shades and the effect
is a really smart one-preSentlag a
complete and colorful picture.
Silhouette
Is Smart.
The silhouette of new coats and
suits is also interesting, but it holds
second place at the moment to the
interest in color. Favored are the
new English draped REFER coats,
well-ftted, beautifully tailored
styles that are most attractive.
Back detailing in coats is excep-
tional this season, SO watch for 1t
when you buy. One very smart
shop here is enthused over their
tweed capes to be worn with every
thing, and the same store features
polo coats-which they say will be
bigger and better than ever-and
their fleece cloth coats are another
current JOY. Many of the new suits
and coats have the Waistline placed
directly on top of tt hips-an idea
which gives a soft, flowing line to
the silhouette. squared, boxy
shoulders are still smart-thank
goodness, for they are very f1atter-
ing.
And while we are on the subject OF
coats and suits, the most talked
of window display in New York
features new mannequins wearing
smart tweeds. The mannequins are
over feet tall and are made up in
a new cosmetic tone which is slated
to be an outstanding color for spring.
The makeup is on a blush tone.
with fngernails, lips and cheeks all
carrying out the idea Of a wan,
fragile appearance. Watch for this
they do say that it is definite
cosmetic trend for next season.
And that is the first, and most
important. part of the fashion story
for spring My only speculation
at the moment is whether or not
women will actually take to these
new colors as every one expects them
to do. They are such delightfully."-
unpredictable creatures-but here's
hoping.

TAKE A MINUTE to look at the

hours of discomfort next time you
have a cold or the raw sore throat
that accompanies many colds.
For these pictures explain the
simple way - with genuine Bayer
Aspirin - to get quick relief from
your pain discomfort. A way count
less thousands will tell you is
amazingly fast and effective.
Try it. Then - because ANY
cold can lead to serious conse-
uuences - SEE YOUR DOCTOR.
He will tell you what treatment
to follow.
In all probability, he will tell you
to continue with the Bayer Aspirin
because it acts to relieve the painful
discomforts of a cold with remark
able speed. And because it acts to
reduce fever. This simple treatment
has largely supplanted the use OF

So don't hide your light under .
bushel.
OF course, you will choose models
whose particular lines suit your
face, but don't forget the long view
in a full-length mirror.
And don't cut down your height
by wearing long, dangling veil
dripping in feudal fashion from a
peak or in Arab style off a desert
helmet.
Your motto in millinery should be
Excelsior, lifting you up by the boot
straps, as it were, to new heights.
Rolled-up brims are the only kind
possible for you.
Wear Breton sailors. high-croWned
position hats and Watteau effects
poised as if for fight.
8. Wear small accessories.
Large ones will dwarf you.
No great hunks of couturier Jew
elry for you, but semi-precious
stones in delicately wrought set
tings.
Even in a jewelry year go easy;
QOnC pile IL on.
You can't get away with it.
No smashing corsages to smother
you. either.
Wear three camellias or one
orchid worn not at the waist, but
on your shoulder, or at the neck
of your gown, or even over your
heart, would be fine
9. Wear small furs.
No great fox skins, because on
you they will look obvious and
newly rich" and in quite bad taste
To say nothing of the fact that
they will make you look top-heavy.
But several small sables or kolin-
sky or baum marten or kit fox will
make graceful scarf-one that you
can carry off like queen.
Keep your furred coat collars
small, too.
Keep everything in proportion tc
your petiteness and you will have
the poise of truly great lady.

BY HELEN VOGT.

1t means no wide belts or tunics or
peplums or short coats to cut the
figure horizontally.
Fitted frocks without belts do
miracles to add length.
It means shoulders padded dis
creetly or not at all-in short a
slender silhouette avoiding hori-
zontal lines to stress length.
2. Raise the waitsline to gain
leg length.
If you wear belt, wear 1t above
the natural waistline.
To do this you will have to tack it
Or have your clothes nipped in at
an elevated waistline.
This waist will be slightly larger
than the natural one because it will
be located just at the floating rib.
But the leg length you gain will
more than compensate for that.
And it will give you longer and
more graceful hipline.
). Wear your skirt longish for
still more leg length.
This will not look dowdy If you
wear high heels, as Of course you do
for the inches they afford.
Also stockings as dark or as light
as your costume will help to make
you look all Of piece and make the
length of your skirt seem quite
correct.
4. Stress the vertical always.
Once you've started thinking
about this, you will discover all sorts
Of ways to do it.
These points will increase your
apparent height:
A dress with a ruffle from neck
to hem.
A coat dress whose closing is out
lined with grosgrain ribbon.
A coat with buttons or border OF
fur all the way down the front.
A reversible crepe dress with a
satin panel.
Vertical stripes, tucks, shirring
anything whose motif continues from
neck TO hem.
5. Wear detail only on your
bodice.
This will increase the long-legged
enect you want.
Break up the bodice as you will.
But don't wear pockets on your
skirt. or tiers of rufnes or anything
at all.
6. If you must wear jackets or
capes, have them waist length or
shorter.
Nothing must cut your figure be-
low the waistline.
When you do wear suits or odd
jackets, they must be of the bolero
type.
And your capes must be brief
affairs suitable to your piquant per-
sonality.
Waist-lAngth is the absolute dead
line for them.
Halfway down the arm is a be-
coming length for capes, too.
Even shoulder tippets of fur are
suitable worn over dress or a coat.
!. Stick to small hats.
A large hat will have the devas-
tating effect of making you look like
a toad under a mushroom.
You. alone, of all the figure types
can wear those little caps with the
most dashing effect.
So why not make the most of this
talent?
Pill boxes. fezzes, turbans. toques
poke bonnets, Flemish caps, flower
caps, Scotch caps and taller shakos,
too, that give you height
Also, Tyrolean caps with tall
feathers and Russian mitered effects
are made for you.

Dear Miss Dix: We are the
parents of a grown family, all of
whom are married and have homes
of their own. except one son, who
lost his job during the depression
and who came to live with us with
his wife and two children, as they
had nowhere else to 60. The ar
rangement has been most un-
pleasant, as our daughter-in-law is
very inconsiderate of us, uses the
house as if it were her own and
almost pushes us out of it. She has
a great deal of company and never
introduces us to any of her friends,
and monopolizes the dining room so
much that we often have to eat in
our own rooms. The children are
spoiled and noisy and impudent.
One of them said to me the other
day that she wished 1 would go
away, as when I died they were
going to have the house. I am not
well and all this confusion is max
ing me very nervous. Our other
children want us to sell the house
and build small bungalow. My son
has got job now, but he is badly
in debt and wants to stay with us,
as it is so much cheaper and they
have no rent to pay. What should
we do? MOTHER OF SIX.
Answer-That's easy. If you have
the backbone of fishing worm you
will make your son take his disagree
able brood and leave and get home
of his own. There is no reason why
he should run you out of your own
house, and you are very foolish and
weak to let him do it.
One of the most depressing things
about the whole depression was the
lack of appreciation and gratitude
that so many young people showed
when their parents took them in

for all things fashionable.
It is no wonder that this city is
such style center. =, Here the ma
jority of smart modes originate,
sprightly chatter revolves around the
fashions of the moment, and every
where you see women dressed in the
latest styles. New York is so fash
lon conscious that it hurts, so if the
latest modes leave you colder than
an Eskimo's nose, you have little
interest in this city of many trends.
However, all women - whether
they live in the mad tempo of New
York or the quiet peace of Kiddlin-
sWitch-are interested in what the
right people" say will be worn in
the spring. The right peo-
pie" in this instance being the
wholesale houses who show their
collections, the smart Fifth avenue
shops who sell them, and the ex-
bert fashion advisors who recon-
mend them-not to mention the
well-dressed women who will finally
wear the modes. So despite the fact
that the temperature has been lower
than a Monday morning disposition
and Radio City was recently mis-
taken for an igloo, spring is here IN
New York-with the following re-
suits:
First and foremost, you will be
hearing more about color than any,
thing else in the world of fashion.
New colors, color combina-
tions and co-ordinations, and even
the history, origin and influence of
the prominent shades are now be-
ing featured. Apparently, this is
not a new idea. Manufacturers
have been trying for the past two or
three years to lure women away
from their black and white or navy
and white for spring-With little
success. This season, however, there
seems to be a very definite trend
to color-and, as far as I can dis
cover, there are two reasons for this
wide acceptance.
Reasons for
New Colors.
First is the influence of the
Worlds Fair murals. From these
works of art many of the color
combinations have been taken.
Especially prominent is the sage
green and mauVe pink idea-a
couple of running mates that are
definitely headed places. The second
vital factor is the marvellous job
of color coordination that has been
accomplished. This season more
than at any other time, the tie-up
between accessories is complete,
enabling women to have a smart,
perfectly matched ensemble-and
this means everything when the rage
for color actually strikes.
Most outstanding examples of this

Dorothy Dix Says
An Inconsiderate Son and Family
Should Not Live With Parents

with their wives or husbands and
children when they lost their jobs
and would have been in the bread
line except that mother and father
divided their homes and their food
with them.
In many cases the parents had
a scant living for themselves, their
houses were small, but they never
shut their doors in their children's
faces. They crowded up closer to-
gether and sliced the bread thinner,
and as long as the old people had
cent it went for milk for the grand
babies.
But instead of being down on their
knees in gratitude to their parents,
oftener than not Tom and Sally
and Toms wife and Sally's husband
vented their rebellion at the hard
luck they were having and the sac
rifices they were having to make on
the poor old folks, and did every
thing they could to make things
even more unpleasant than they
were.

Dear Dorothy Dix-Has a girl the
right to ask her boy friend who
comes to see her every night in the
week if he loves her? A. B.
Answer-She should ask him
much more searching question than
that. She should ask him his views
about marriage and when he is 60
ing to set the wedding day. A girl
is very silly if she let's boy monopo-
lize her time and attention and shut
her off from some suitor who means
business when his attentions have
no intention. DOROTHY DIX.
