Answer-That is a question that
you must settle for yourself. but
see no reason why girl should rake
up all of her past any more than
why man should. You may be very
sure that your fiance will not tell
you of all the follies of his youth,
SO why should you tell of yours?
Many young couples have a morbid
inclination to confess to each other
on the eve of their marriage. They
have an idea that 1t is an honest
thing to do and that it starts them
out on a clean platform. But it is
q horrible mistake. All that it ac-
complishes is to destroy the ideals
that each entertains of the other
and to give each food for jealousy
and subjects for recriminations
when they get into quarrels.
Many men write to me on this
subject, and have never had one
whose wife had confessed some past
indiscretion to him who didn't say,
II wish she hadn't told me. I would
have been far happier not knowing
the things she. told me-" But If a
girl is ever going to confess, she
should do 1t before marriage, not
afterward. DOROTHY DIX.

Helpful Hints
For Makeup
Of Lips
Messy Appearance
Avoided by Using
Pencil or Brush
By PATRICIA LINDSAY

BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.
For years the Hollywood girls were
way ahead of the rest of us when 1t
came to lip allure! Didn't you fire.
quently wonder how they could have
such compelling lips as you watched
them talk and smile and kiss on the
screen?
Back in my own bedroom I used
to try to make my lips look like my
current screen favorite with
little success. In fact, I only man
aged to smear my mouth into such
mess that it practically took hot
oil treatment to remove the irreg-
ularly applied lip rouge! Little did I
know that definite makeup tricks
were responsible for the lip lowell
ness that appeared In the movies!
A lip pencil, or brush and liquid
rouge, usually outlined the stars
lips. With such devices she could
fashion her mouth full or thin, ac-
cording to her desire. And match
ing lipstick Allied in the outline,
smoothly and with becoming color
Today any woman can change the
shape Of her lips and do 1t well, pro-
viding she has the proper tools and
will take little time.
A new lip liner is similar to a
mechanical pencil-you just turn it
and lip pencil appears with which
you draw the shape mouth you want
for the day. This pencil comes in
six exquisite shades with match
ing lipstick for each shade. The
trick is to fill in the penciled outline
with your lipstick, which assures you
smooth edge lips of becoming size!
After applying lip rouge you should
lightly bite a facial tissue, which
absorbs surplus coloring, and then
dust your lips with bit of powder
to "set" the remaining color. Your
tongue removes the powery look
at the first quick lick! Lip coloring
stays intact much longer if you do
not eat or drink or smoke for at least
Is minutes after you apply it.
OF course, there are permanent
lip colorings-particularly in the
liquid form which you paint on with
a brush-and certainly they do stay
with you for hours at time.
You should definitely strive for
"even" lips, and nothing aids you
more than lip liner or brush in
acquiring that. Most men criticize
women for their messy lip appear
ance-they actually do not object to
the coloring if it is put on well. And
with the trend for softer coloring q
lip liner is almost indispensable If
you wish to alter your natural lip
line the slightest degree!
Every star in Hollywood seems to
have an individual trick for making
lipstick permanent. Lola Lane ap-
plies cream rouge on her lips first,
then uses lip liner and fills in
with ipstick. She then blots and
powders her lips. Result-attrac-
tive, full lips which never peel and
always keep their outline.

Clean Door Mat Scores

The clean door mat may seem to
be an Insignificant and lowly object
but remember that 1t may also be
the means of establishing callers
impression of your home. A fresh,
clean door mat gives promise Of
continued cleanliness beyond the
doorstep; a soiled one may indicate
untidiness all through the house.
Once a month, or whenever
needed. isn't 4 bit too often to give
the door mat a thorough scrubbing
Place the mat on a fiat surface and
scrub both sides with hot soapy
water, then rinse out the suds with

Not only will clean mats do justice
to clean and tidy households but
they will save the extra work needed

Half Of the pouting. grouching
selfish. tyrannical husbands in the
world were made that way by ador-
ing little brides who went down on
their knees before them, humored
them, yes-yessed them and never
crossed them-until they made them
unfit to live with.
Half Of the good-for- nothing,
peevish, fretful, lazy. extravagant
wives are the handiwork of in
fatuated bridegrooms, who petted
them and babied them and gave
them everything they cried for un-
til they became such monsters of
self-centered egotism that they
hadn't q thought or a care for any
human being except themselves.
Many a wife looks at her husband
and sadly thinks: Well, I'd never
have married John if I had had any
idea he was going to develop into
the husband he is. Before we were
married he was so considerate,
always thinking of what 1 would
like to do and trying to please me.
Now he never even asks what I'd
like to do. It is his own pleasure
he thinks Of, not mine. And I have
to wait on him hand and foot and
walk on eggs to keep from riling
him.
And the poor soul doesn't know
that with her own hands she built
the sacrificial altar on which her
husband daily offers her up by spoil
ing him when they were first mar
ried. If she had taught him to
behave then and to act like an adult
instead Of q 6-week-old infant, she
would have saved herself lot of
grief.
Same way with men. Many a
husband can't understand how the
sweet, gentle, angelic little creature
he married could have turned into
the grasping, greedy. unfeeling wom-
an who enslaves him and who is per-
fectly willing to work him to death
to get the fine houses and clothes
and cars she desires.
But it is his own fault. He spoiled
her when they were first married
by indulging her every whim and
asking and demanding nothing of
her. If he had made her shoulder

And Just as parents who pamper

them run roughshod over them until
they become brats never understand
how their youngsters happen to
turn out that way, 50 the husbands
and wives who spoil their mates
wonder how it happened that their

Sometimes children are jealous OF
other children without any sugges-

getting attention and affection and
begins to think himself robbed, OF

required in the making of a really
epicurean sauce. And it Is not only
"the makings" that need to be
learned-it is which sauce goes best
with what foods. and how to fit l. in
with the rest of the menu so that its
texture and general flavor are not
duplicated.
With the revived interest in herbs,
I am hoping that sauce making
will attract the attention of our
cooks as natural followup. Herbs
are vastly important in many
sauces. and their use furnishes Just
that fine point of difference that

Milkweeds Poisonous,
Sometimes Kill Stock

Whorled milkweeds are poisonous
to live stock and sometimes cause
losses among horses, cattle and
sheep.
Whorled milkweeds have slender
stalks. The leaves are narrow and
are from two to three inches long.
They develop in clusters or whorls
of several needlelike leaves around
the stalk. The flowers are of green
ish white. The botanist's name for
this weed is Asclepias virticillata.
Common milkWeeds have a heav-
Ter stalk than the whorled variety.
The leaves are comparatively broad,
oblong in shape, and placed on op-
posite sides Of the stalk. The flow
ers are Of rose purple. The botan-
ical name is Asclepias syriaca. The
swamp variety is known botanically
as Asclepias incarnata. It has a
larger. deeper-hued blossom than
the common milkweed.
Milkweeds are deeply rooted per-
e1lnial plants, producing seeds in
pods, with fosslike material in
side the pods. The pods of the COM
mon milkweed are larger than those
Of the whorled or swamp nilkweed.
