Gloriting Yourself
By Alicia Hart

 It would be a good Idea to play it too often, but "the beauty game" is worth playing two or three. times a year.
 It's a game for one, of course. And you play it when nobody else IS around or likely to drop in unex- pectedly. The directions are simple If there's anything to the idea that admitting your defects puts you well along on the road to elimina- ton of them, what to do with the conclusions reached during the game ought to be fairly simple, too.
 First stand before 8 mirror ana make believe that the woman re-. flected iri the mirror is someone you never saw before. Look at her critically. <.
 Begin right at the top of the head of that woman in the mirror and tear her apart, bit by bit, right on down to her feet. :. Is her hair soft and shiny and becomingly dressed? Or is it faintly dingy and stringy, baldy in need oe a new permanent wave and dressed exactly as it was ten years ago?
 HARDEST PART
 IS PLAYING HONESTLY What about her skin? Do you really think much of 1t? Or would you if you were her husband? Is 1t smooth and fine-textured and soft looking? Or is it rough in spots, full of coarse pores? You see her face now minus makeup. But you've seen it with makeup. Does she know how to blend rouge perfectly and does she use just enough and never too much of it?
 Is her posture excellent, or does she have an exaggerated hollow in the center of her back, 8 sunken chest and lump on the back of her neck? If she carried her head pro- perly she wouldn't have the lump you know that.
 Ask yourself these questions and several more, and answer each one honestly. The game will have turned out successfully if the answers irl- spire you to make resolutions-re- soutions which you will stick to dur ing the months to come.

the brides own dress. A favored color scheme is for the bride to wear white and the maids to wear tints of some one color. They might choose the blues from for get-me-not into iris, greens from lettuce to lime, or the pinks from shell to cyclamen.
 Gray is the color that brides mothers are selecting to wear to the wedding. A gray gown with 8 corsage of orchids or pink rose- buds would be charming on a gray-haired mother, while gray with a touch of chartreuse or lime green, either in flowers or hatband or gloves, would be love- ly for the tall, dark-haired
 mother

Especially well liked for going away dresses for the bride are tie silks, chiffons and rough-textured sheers in houndstooth, shepherd and gingham check patterned prints. The ideal going-away costume is, of course, uncrushable, comfortable and practical for summer wear later on. A black taffeta suit with fiaring skirt and fitted jacket with white pique collar and cuffs is nice. A swagger coat of navy sheer over a navy and white polka dot dress is another intriguing travel cos- tune. An attractive two-piece suit in printed, rough silk in herring bone design has a scarlet taffeta blouse, and is shown with wide brimmed hat of shiny scarlet straw.

is to break as gently as possible the idea that, after all your own dentor is the adviser qualified to say whether you should brush your teeth, and if so, what you should use for the purpose and how you should do it.
 In nearly all cases, whether you brush your teeth or not, it is essen- tial to visit your dentor at intervals, varying from once to three or four times annually, to have the teeth in- spected, tartar or other deposits re- moved by sealing or otherwise, the teeth cleaned and polished, if you wish to keep your teeth clean.
 Then, too, competent dentors as- sure us that, while many tooth brushes and dentrifices are harm less enough as ordinarily used, some unquestionably injure the gums and some scratch the enamel, thus paving the way for the development of cavities or gingivitis (inflamma- tion of gum).
 So it would seem the sensible thing to leave to your doctor the question of dredging or washing out your duodenum and to your dentor questions about your teeth.
 In view of our newer knowledge of nutrition and the conservation of the teeth it is necessary to re- wise the saying that "a clean tooth never decays" It would be more consistent to say that sound tooth is always clean. Consider the fine gleaming teeth of the pickaninny basking in the sun and sucking on sugar cane; the remarkably good teeth of children coming to this country from southern Europe.

Most of them feature hat type yelling and pleated silk chiffon or organ dy wells to match the gowns. When used for wells, the tradi- tional net and tulle are used lav- ishly-often in several thicknesses.

TO FREsHEN SILK LAMPsHADEs

Silk lampshades ordinarily can be freshened quite successfully at home by simply dipping the shade into a tub of thick, warm, mild soapsuds. Clean with soft brush and rinse thoroughly in clear, tepid water. Dry where there is good circulation of air. Before immersing in the bath, brush out loose dust carefully. Metallic bindings should be removed and braid or ornaments that have been glued on should be tackled be- fore washing.

PENSIONS PROVE PROBLEMS FOR
 FINANCE BOARD
How Many City Employees Will Retire in '40?; Opin-
 ion Is Awaited

The finance board, in pre- pairing the 1940 city budget, faces the problem of, trying to guess accurately how many city employees entitled to pen- sionS will decide to retire next year. For the Culhane pen- sion act provides that the minimum pension paid shall be $1,000 a year, and if any large number of qualified employees should retire the city would have to have a sizeable sum set aside.
 Various sections of the pension act are still causing controversy and ruling from Corporation Counsel Timothy Sullivan is awaited. An interpretation of the act may la!er be sought in the superior court.
 MT. Sullivan says informally that, despite the fact that the act makes no provision for the payment of pensions to mothers of late police men, the city can continue to pay the current small pensions given Mrs. Ervillia Blodgett and Mrs. Mary Luddy. He said he has not yet been asked for a formal opin- ion on this question.
 The Culhane act makes separate provisions for policemen. firemen and school teachers, as apart from other city employees. New police and fire pension funds will be established after the first of the year, with members of the two departments being assessed two per cent of their salaries.
