Complexion
Difficulty
In Winter
Facial Exercises
Help Eradicate
Any Wrinkles
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

If you are of the 80 per cent of
American women who have dry or
sensitive skin, you have a definite
complexion problem during the nip
py weather and perhaps several sug-
gested treatments have not sufflced
to keep your skin as smooth and
translucent as you desire.
Chapped, rough dry skin is no
fun. It i=a't comfortable and it
certainly robs you of complexion
charm. But how to correct the
condition satisfactorily has many a
cosmetician experimenting!
A clean skin best resists irrita-
tions, so therefore it is essential
to wash it with a rich bland soap
lather at least three times week.
Dirt and other surface impurities
must never be allowed to remain
and join forces with the irrita-
tons of the elements!
After much research about this
type of skin, I find that a cleans
ing with cream before the soap
and water washing is the better
method. Scrub it at night before
going to bed and, if it is very
sensitive, rub on a bit of pure min
eral oil. Ordinarily dry skins react
favorably to rich lubricating night
cream which should be rinsed off
in the morning with cold water
(not hot)-especially if you are 60
ing out early in brisk weather. Or
you may use the mildest Of skin
tonics instead of the water If you
prefer.
Before you apply makeup you
must definitely use a foundation
lotion or cream. 1 cannot give you
specific help in selecting any par
ticular brand as some dry skins
favor lotion while other textures
require cream consistency.
When your skin has just been
washed and dried thoroughly it is
good to massage it with your palms
No cream or lotion-simply rub
clean palms against clean face with
movements going upward from the
chin. This exercises lazy pores and
they give more freely of natural
lubricating oils.
Facial exercises are most eff1ca-
cious if you will do them regularly,
sitting before mirror Make faces
at yourself while cream is on your
skin, after you have massaged 1t
well to tone up the tiny muscles

If could give one piece of ad-
vice that would be more valuable
than any other to girls, I would
say: Be moderate. Moderation isn't
virtue that is indigenous to our
sex. Quite the contrary. We wom-
en- are always extremists who are
diving off into the deep end OF the
pool. We always overdo things. If
we are good, we are likely to be
austere saints. If we are bad, we
are sure to be she devils. We just
don't seem to be able to strike
good average in being wives, moth
ers, housekeepers, businesswomen,
or eating or drinking.
This is a pity. For the middle
road is the only safe one for femi-
nine feet to tread. And so would
like not only to point out its ad-
vantages to girls who are just start
ing out on the hazardous adventure
of womanhood, but to erect a few
sign posts to guide them along the
way.
First, I would say, don't be too
eager for the attention of boys. OF
course, every normal girl wants to
be admired by the opposite sex. She
wants to have dates and good
times and cut-ins on her dances.
But the way to get them is not to
make herself a telephone pest who
is always calling up lads and ask
ing them why haven't they been
around, or shanghai-ing them into
taking her to places, or just slop-
ping over with delight when a boy
notices her. The proper attitude for
a girl to assume is the one that
indicates that she can take him or
leave him.
She lets the boy who takes her
out to places of amusement see that

Youngsters Favor
Plebeian Dishes.

Plebeian dishes that are favorites
with the younger crowd are hearty
macaroni and cheese, macaroni and
tomato sauce with meat balls and
goulash. One of the most informal
Of all main dishes is a combination
Of piping hot frankfurters served
with hot buns so that the guests
can make their own sandwiches.
When the meat dish consists of
cold cuts such as cold roast beef,
pork, turkey, chicken, baked ham,
cheese-the hot dish may be a
vegetable. Scalloped potatoes and
candied sweet potatoes are substan-
tial ones that keep hot easily. Corn
pudding, made with canned sweet
corn, milk and eggs is always popu-
lar. Scalloped apples are colorful
and keep hot.
For light meal the beverage and
bread may be the only two hot
items on menu. Spoon bread is
easy to serve. For buffet break
fast there's nothing better than
waffleS. But for these the hostess
will need one or two helpers to make
them fast enough for crowd. Other
possibilities at any meal are cram
berry mullins, hot biscuits, small
sandwiches of bread and butter and
lettuce or other crisp greens, brown
bread spread with cream cheese.
Or, if time is limited, serve ready
made rolls warmed in the oven and
buttered in the kitchen.
To simplify the meal, offer a choice
only of the foods that can be pre-
pared ahead of time.
Suitable desserts are plain cake
with hot chocolate sauce, ginger
bread, baked in shallow pan, cut
into serving portions and garnished
with whipped cream or orange mar
malade; ice cold ambrosia different
kinds of fruit cut up together and
perhaps with sprinkling of COCO
nut on top; individual cakes or
pies. Some others are ice box cake
jelly roll, vanilla ice cream, with
a choice of sauces and toppings of
chopped nuts or fruit for sundaes,
arranged on the sideboard.
Following is suggested menu for
holiday buffet supper Have plat
tiers OF cold sliced turkey and baked
ham, two jellied fruit rings Zone
might be red cranberry relish in

too late for velvet, so don't invest
in it at this point. Remember that
the time to buy velvet is about In
September, for after Christmas the
fabric is no longer used to any great
extent. Foolish, isn't it, that in the
dead of winter strictly winter ma
terial is not in fashion? But that's
the way it works.
When it comes to choosing color,
white is far and away the leader
This is not surprising, for it looks
well on dance floor, lends itself to
wear at any season of the year and
is generally flattering to the ma
jority of women. Especially since
chiffon is so popular, white is bound
to be used. Next, pale blues and
pinks are to be found, and they are
good for the very same reason as
white. The rage for pastels in both
day and evening clothes is very
strong this season-a move that we
welcome with loud squeals of pleas
ure as an antidote for too much
black
In the brighter tones, there is still
a great deal of red to be found, and
we will say that you can't beat it
for attention-getting on a dance
floor. Bright green, in new bril-
liant shade, is being shown in some
of the shops, and it should be most
effective if your skin and hair are
just right for it. Watch out for
green, though, because it does funny,
unbecoming things to some COM
plexions.
Tweed Evening
Coats Shown.
It may be that you need a new
evening wrap in addition to, or in
stead of a new frock. For this we
suggest the new tweeds, some of
them imported and all too lovely
for mere words. Wool wraps, In
black or white, are usually trimmed
with gold kid, jeweled effects or
other passamenterie, and they're so
effective that you'll want to wear
them right into the ballroom. In
the last couple of years there has
been a definite trend away from
wearing your regular fur coat as a
wrap. OF course, if you have a
sable or mink, or if you can afford
white fox cape, ermine jacket or
other luxurious pelts, then there's
no question about what you'll wear
as coat. But otherwise, do try to
manage a new wrap. They're fitted,
and so very, very good looking.
So, be sure to have new gown
and wrap for the new year. We
promise that you'll feel simply Won
derful in any of the new models, and
a whole new outfit is just about the
grandest way we know to start out
a successful year in 1910.

WOMAN wants lOVely new lTOCk
for New Year eve festivities and

1t or planning the type of dress
she will acquire when the time

invested in this manner and SO Is
almost any available cash at hand.
1t seems only fitting and proper,
somehow, to welcome the new year

so do have a look at the charming
frocks. Here's how the popularity
rating among evening gowns goes
at the momentum case 1t Will
help in your selection.
Because most of the college girls
at home are buying for very formal
dances and parties, the trend is
toward more decollete dresses than
were seen at the beginning of this
season. If you will remember, when
winter "galas" first began to come
in, that "covered-up look" was all
the rage. We will say that there
are still many frockS with sleeves,
and that look of modesty is far
from extinct, but for occasions such
as New Year eve parties the frock
with tiny shoulder straps is in de-
mand by the younger shoppers as
well as their more mature relatives
and friends. Tight-fitting bodices,
small straps and bouffant skirts are
the order of the day and night.
Favored Fabric
Is Chiffon.
Filmy, romantic chiffon is the
favored fabric in the new evening
gowns, and it lends itself perfectly
to the festive spirit of these holi-
days. Most of these dresses have
exquisite beading, jewel trimming
and other sparkling adornment.
sometimes covering the entire bodice
and often trailing down to the
graceful skirt. Nets are popular,

satins and a few crepes are in order,
but these are not as popular as the
more delicate fabrics. It's really

she is having good time and en-
joying his society, but she doesn't
tell him how wonderful it is and
how sweet it was of him to give her
such a pleasure, because that is a
dead giveaway that she seldom has
a date. She is neither Lady Dis
dain nor Grateful Nellie. In a
word, she neither runs away from
boys nor chases them down.
Then, I would say, 60 lightly on
a boys pocketbook, yet do it without

maker than the home icebox.
Finally, moderate your transports
of affection. Don't ever tell boy
how much you love him. Keep him
guessing if you want to keep him
interested. Don't be the kisser, be
the kissee. Never write first to q
boy or be in a hurry to answer his
letters. Never forget that men still
enjoy the chase and lose interest
in it when they find that the pur-
suit is over. DOROTHY DIX.

gether congenial guests.
In keeping with the air of gay
informality that circulates at this
season are company meals served
buffet style. And as at any season,
buffet service is an easy way to take
care of more mealtime guests than
the dining table can accommodate
otherwise.
Although buffet meals are cut
from a master pattern, this can be
altered to suit different hostesses
and different situations. The menu
may be simple, or it may offer an
elaborate selection. Guests may
take their filled plates to quartet
taoles where there is a complete
service laid at each plate. Or they
may get silver and napkins from the
buffet and sit where they choose.
Food Should Be
Easy to Eat.
But while each hostess can work
out details Of service pretty much
to her own satisfaction, there are
certain limitations as to what kinds
Of food will be successful.
Every dish on the menu should be
easy to serve and easy to eat. Foods
to be served hot should be easy to
keep hot. Have no moist foods that
will spoil the looks Of plate or re-
quire extra serving dishes. Avoid
foods that need special silver.
Much of the charm of a buffet
meal lies in the appearance of the
food, attractively arranged against
the background of snowy linen.
Therefore, all the food should har-
monte in color-may even carry out
a color theme.
With a little thought any hostess
can ind ways to make a particular
meal go smoothly. One helpful trick
is to butter the rolls before putting
them on the table. Another is to
pour coffee or other hot beverage
after the guests are seated. An
other, used by hostesses who serve
"stand-up" buffets often, is to give
eacN guest a small tray on which
to assemble his meal. For ease OF
serving, have dishes in individual
portions whenever possible.
There should be something hot at
every winter-time buffet meal, in
addition to the hot beverage. This
will be the only dish that needs tc
have much last minute attention
One way to make sure that a hot
dish is hot all the time is to have
it come out of the oven in two in
stallments, one for first servings
another for seconds"
Appropriate hot dishes easy tc
serve are creamed turkey, chicken
or fish served on toast or in patty
shells. Casserole dishes are good
also. One might be chicken with
mushrooms and almonds with egg
sauce poured over it before it goes
into the oven. Curried chicken with
rice and scalloped oysters are gooc
supper dishes.

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

.
NEW YORK, Oct. l3-The stock
market experienced a few war-buy-
ing tremors in the early part of to-
days proceedings, but these quickly
faded in most cases.
Gains, running to points or so at
a fairly lively opening, were cut
down substantially or Cancelled and,
near the fourth hour, moderate
losses were well distributed.
The initial run-up was attributed
principally to the overnight news
from abroad indicating possibilities
of a long draWn-out conflict, with
resultant benefits to American in
dustry. Considered was yesterdays
speech of Prime Minister Chamber
lain rejecting Hitlers peace pro-
poSals and today'S word from Berlin
that United States mediation was
seen as the last hope of saving Eu-
rope from the most gruesoms
bloodbath in history"
Intervention at the moment by
President Roosevelt, however, was
considered unlikely by Washington
commentators, although many in
Wall Street speculative circles were
none too sure some sort of an armis-
tice might not be arranged through
other sources. In any event, finan-
cial contingents seemed as much
confused as ever and inclined to
tighten share commitments on
bulges.
European securities markets turned
hesitant. Bonds were narrowly
mixed, and forenoon forward tilt
in commodities lost momentum.
Stocks in favor at one time or
another were Bethlehem Steel,
Douglas Aircraft, Westinghouse, Du
Pont. Allied Chemical, Santa Fe,
Southern Railway, International
Harvester, Montgomery Ward, Sears
Roebuck and Johns -Manville.
Backward were United States
Steel, Chrysler, General Motors, In
ternational Nickel, American Smelt-
ing, Standard Oil of New Jersey, Air
Reduction and Phelps Dodge.
Posting modest improvement in
the curb were Creole Petroleum,
Lockheed and American Cyanamid
B" Slipping were Electric Bond &
