 "Artfully natural" is the right name for the midsummer makeup that smart women are wearing. Whether they have been on vacation or not, their complexions have a glowing look, their figures 1.-the suppleness, their hair clean, sun kissed gleam. These are enough to convince even a skeptic that they have been away from the city, that sun. fresh air and exercise are re- sponsible for the natural-looking loveliness.
 However, as matter of fact, many a city girl achieves the glow ing look with cosmetics. Like as not, she hasn't been out of town at all What, then, does she do what kind of makeup does she use?
 What do you do about makeup?" we asked Tamara, dancing star of a musical hit and foremost ex- ponent of the natural look.
 "As little as possible" Tamara answered. T wear no rouge or powder over my lightly suntanned skin. Lipstick and eye makeup do the trick.
 "The lipstick is as light and clear a red as I could find. The eye makeup is used only at night, with simple grooming and lash and brow control helping to accomplish the desired effect during the day"
 USES SPECIAL
 EYE-GROOMING KIT.
 Tamara has a special kit, stocked with all the proper tools for taking care of all eye beauty needs. There is, for instance, pair of scissor- shaped tweezers, with blunt ends perfect for plucking out stray hairs which grow out of line on lids and between brows. These are used with great discrimination, of course, Tamara simply keeps that natural line of her brows neat and trim, not artifically altered.
 "To promote the growth of brows and lashes, use fine paste dres- sing made of natural oils. This leaves them pliable and silky and provides the needed oil base for mascara. A flip of the brush from the mascara compact-also in the kit-and my eyes are ready for the finishing touches from an eyelash curler.
 "For evening, l blend two shades of eye shadow, usunally aqua and green, or use one of the new rides cent colors. Actually, however, it's the brushing, oiling, curling and other routine care which makes for eye beauty" ,...
 Another believer in the natural school of beauty is Mary Stevenson, the young actress who recently was voted by a theatrical cast of 250 to have the healthiest look and the best personality in the entire company
 "Off-stage, don't go in for any fancy makeup, especially in sum- mer," Miss Stevenson says. I get a coat of tan, even if I have to go up on roof to get 1t, then I stop using rouge as long as the tan stays with me. And I like mascara. It makes my eyes seem more glowingly heal thy. Incidentally, I, too, use an eyelash curler every day"

DENTAL SURGEONS NOW USE
 SCREW DRIVERS
 Surgeons have used zippers, nails, plates, pins, screws, ice tongs and whatnot for many years. One draw back about any metal inserted or buried either in the soft tissues or in bone is that it is more or less irritant to the tissues. Various metals or alloys have been used for these purposes and some of them have special advantages. One called vital- Hum recently developed seems to approach the ideal of lightness, strength and kindness to the tissues that is, this alloy seems to excite little or no reaction, cause little or no irritation to the tissues in which it is buried. Hence it is favored as material for screws, nails and the like used by surgeons in bone and joint operations and in the repair of certain fractures.
 It merits special mention here for purpose which will interest a great many readers.
 One frequently meets people who have lost a tooth but have neglected or postponed having a denture in- stalled to replace the missing tooth, either because they are not fully conscious of the great value of every tooth to health, youth and longe'ity, or because they are reluctant to have one or both adjacent teeth pared down to carry crowns or bridge sup ports for an artificial tooth to fill the vacant space.
 For the former, shame on them for their ignorance. For the latter

great women in history and found that almost everyone of them had one or two imperfections in their facial features. But they developed their other good points, she added.
 Cleopatra won Mark Anthony from his wife who was many times more beautiful than the Egyptian uueen," said Miss Osborne. "Cleo- patra is not even considered beau- tiful-but she did have beautifully modulated voice and always desired to please"
 Contending that men dislike wo- men with extreme beauty, Miss Os- borne added:
 "They prefer woman with aver age good looks, health, mystery, and warm and sympathetic nature. l have found that extremely good looking co-eds in college need more philosophy than other girls.
 "The beautiful women rest on their laurels of pulchritude and when they reach the age of 40 they find they no longer can attraN per- sons because they have lost their beauty"
 Miss Osborne said women still live in an age where they are a decorative element-not in the sense that they must be beautiful, but rather in particular individual fashion. She continued:
 "In this country we are expected to be attractive, and 1t is more im- portant to look attractive than to be attractive. A smart woman will learn to select and do things that will make her look attractive in her own particular way" Warning women not to copy others, Miss Osborne said that most people are dull and uninteresting because they are pale copies of suc- cessful individuals. She listed five reasons why women fail to make good impressions, namely:
 1. They develop unpleasant quail ities.
 2. They have lost seif-esteem.
 3. They are afraid of what others will say and think,
 4. They are lazy.
 5. They have a negative and un- cooperative philosophy of life.

SMOOTH IRONING DAY

A bit of system prevents forehead wrinkles or ironing day. First sort clothes. Fold neatly those that do not need to be ironed and those that need only light pressing on the out side. Dampen the rest and arrange in order to iron-those that require cool iron, then pieces that look best rioned at medium heat, and last the ones needing very hoi iron. Modern electric irons have neat indicators to regulate correct tenn peratures for pressing different fab rics, which should cbviate all dan ger of scorching. Having the basket of dampened clothes on a chair within easy reach or the one hand and a clotkes rack for airing the pressed clothes on the other saves many step, to

deterrant, every sympathy-surely no one with healthy regard for the value of good sound tooth can cheerfully submit to mutilation of a sound tooth for the sake of SUD- porting an artificial one in vacant space. To the dentors of America a mild rebuke for their tardiness ir bridging this gap in the progress oi prosthetic dentistry.
 But, happily, the dentors have de- veloped what promises to be an idea solution for this problem, in what is called the peg tooth. Under loca anesthesia, the dental surgeon screws into the jawbone, in the vacant space, a screw made of vitallium, g new metal alloy. This alloy seems to cause little irritation in the bone substance, and the screw is firmly retained in place. After several weeks or months the dentor cements to the head of the screw an artifi- cial tooth with porcelain face or jacket, which is almost impossible to distinguish from the adjacent natural teeth. This peg tooth is not only ideal in appearance but 100 per cent functionally efficient.
 American dentors were the first in the world. They are still the best in the world.
