YOUR BOY
BY THOMAS WRIGHT.
Boys Work Secretary

Some requisites Of good group
meetings with boys:
/. Participation
Make sure the program * so
planned that everybody will be
drawn naturally into taking part II
at least one activity The more fea
tures Of the program each individual
participates in the better
z. Worthwhslness
Every program should have "a It
somewhere at least one emcnt
which will make every boy feel that
he goes out with d new strength, a
new hope, OF ambition. Nothing ii
more dependable for this purpose
than a study Of some life experience
common to the group, perhaps bg
reference to some similar life exper-
ience as found il the Bible, ol some
such book as Boys who made good,
OF numerous others that arc included
in a list Of good boys books.
Let us not overlook the worth.
witness Of this type of program
material. So many times w hays
heard boys say 90 their last nighf
in camp; 4 have had swell time.
I've enjoyed the swimming and the
games and the friends I've made
but the thing Ive gotten the most
out Of has been the devotions we've
had each morning.
3. Democracy
A thing we have heard 81 much
about in the last few months " hat
does democracy mean n handling
boys?
Everyone in the group should have
his say rs 70 what is going y be
done, how Il II to be done ana by
whom. The group should not have
any excuse for FED ing, The lead
er settles everything
A. Fellowship
A feature that should be outstand
ing 1t will determine the attend
ance at succeeding meetings It IS
the bond that ties the group togeth
er. Whoever Will make his group
a success Will not neglect its fellow
ship. Here the leader shines. His
personality can radiate good fellow
ship and make II infectious through
out the group.
For this reason il i vital that he
be on hand when the 1st member ar
rives, that he receives each one with
a genuine warmth Throughout the
time the leader SHOULD be on the
alert to see that every member gets
q square dea to foster good will,
thoughtfulness and commendation
for one another He can feed the
fires Of lasting friendship.
Fellowship can be promoted with
stories and Jokes that will lead to
laughing together. 1t comes from
playing games together. It Is
strengthened by talking, planning
and working together on some inn
portant project A teader may for
a time know little about leading, the
program may be faulty in dozen
ways, but good fellowship can hold
the group together until both leader
and program have found the neees-
sary time to develop. Satisfy the
hunger for good fellowship and you
can get your boy every time.
S. Service
Not quite 50 insistent perhaps, but
nearly 50, is the hunger to count for
something. There is deep down in
the human heart a desire to be use
ful, to feel that one has something

where and what is the greatest need

Beauty RouHnes
Not So Difficult

Keeping your hair. face and fig
ure youthfully attractive needn't
be the gruelling job You some
times think after reading an i'm
pressive list of dos and donts.
The absolutely necessary dos are
simple ones.
For instance, if you massage
hand lotion into your hands each
time after washing them or hav-
ing them in water. they'll stay
smooth and soft. No two ways
about it-they will. But you can't
cheat, using hand lotion only once
or twice a day.
If you brush your hair five
nights a week and have it washed
at least every ten days. it won't
be too dry or too oily or full of
fleeks of dry cutiele or anything
else unpleasant. 1t will be lovely
and that's all there is to it pro-
viding, of course, your general
health is up to par.
Unless you have something or
ganicall Y wrong with you, in
which case you ought to have
medical care, it will be pretty fine
if you get enough sleep and rest
every day, eat sensibly and take
an adequate amount of exercise
regularly. Good health depends
on good health habits. And that
is all there is to that.
Take your real ailments to a
doctor Take care of yourself the
rest of the time and you won't
have many minor complaints or
sallow skin or a bad figure.
If you eat lightly at breakfast
and lunch and have only one por-
ton of everything on the dinner
menu and never eat between
meals, you won't gain more and
more weight as the years go by.
Good health, which means excel
lent circulation, scrupulous clean
illness. which means thorough night
and morning cleansings. and strict
adherence to the rule about never
putting fresh make up on over
stale, are important to the beauty
of your skin. Night cream will
ward off fine lines around the eyes
and necklace rings on the throat.

WASHINGTON - Washington
has discovered an artist in its Of
fetal midst
The artist is Mrs. William Bank
head, wife of the speaker of the
house of representatives. A COM
bination of circumstances featur-
ing Howard Chandler Christy and
lazy summer day in Alabama is
part of the story.
Mrs. Bankhead is very modest
about her until recently unsus-
pected talent
II seems that two years ago Mr..
Bankhead commissioned Christy to
do a portrait of his wife. While
Mrs. Bankhead was sitting for her
portrait ii fascinated her to watch
Christy at work.
When the portrait was finished
the artist presented Speaker Bank
head with set of oil paints SINH
lar to the one he had used. Mr..
Bankhead amused himself by daub-
ing little with his new plaything,
was quickly bored and put it away.
The next summer at home in
Jasper, Ala. Mrs. Bankhead came
across the neglected set of paints.
1t was one of those aimless sunny
afternoons, and she decided she
would try her hand at this artist
business.
She set up her easel on the back
lawn and went to work. The white
frame Cape Cod cottage of her
next door neighbor served as a
model.
When Mr.. Christy saw the COM
pleted painting he encouraged
Mrs. Bankhead to keep at it.
Since then she has worked with
water colors and pastels. Consid-
ering that Mrs. Bankhead never
had lesson in drawing, compo-.
sition or the use of colors. her
friends think her work is amaz-
ingly good.
But she doesn't take herself Sc
riously as an artist. Perhaps she
thinks that with the speaker
daughter. Tallulah. on the stage,
the family is 'arty' enough al
ready.
Mrs. Bankhead has, however,
developed enough confidence to
make a correction of Mr.. Christy's
work. Her friends thought the

CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
WHAT is wrong with the
SIX t c h a t I h e e f I g?
Everything. We told you thin
faces needed soft, fluffy Golf
fures.
The best thing for this
woman is a sort of halo of
combed out curls extending
Just to the cheekbones.
This gives the face an en-
tirely new contour. providing
the necessary width at the
top to turn that drawn out
effect into a graceful oval.
No Center Part
Furthermore, this type of face
should never wear center part
because, as we said earlier, that
accentuates length.
But fairly high side
part slanting diagonally
is most flattering.
Often this type of face has
chicken-coop eyebrows.
They can be brought down a bit
by removing the peak and thereby
creating an oval arch at the nat
ural brow level.
from the nose and keep 1t at the
level.
We told goa ho1o rouge
SINKS the place rhere 1t rs
applied.
And locating it below the cheek
bones, as in the left-hand sketch.
gives a thin face hollow-cheeked,
lean and hungry look.
Rouge Chin
And there another thing about
rouge for this type. This is the
only sort of face that should wear
rouge on the chin.
As matter of fact, you
should never forget a faint
dab of 1t there because il has
a shortening effect.
As for the mouth, the fuller it
can be made up, the better because
the more space it takes up YER
tically, the shorter the whole face
will appear.
NOW OBVIOUSLY, THE
LONG F A C E S H O L L D

EVEN IF THEY'RE THE
RAGE OF THE MOMENT.
On the contrary, horizontal hats

mended for the hair parting-are
excellent.
