Worshipers at st. Johns Episco-

hope to create unique memorial to
"the father of the Constitution. !"
To honor the memory Of James
Madison, who offered in the House
the Bill of Rights" guaranteeing
religious freedom, as the first amend
ment to the Constitution, they
would set aside a free pew for pub
lie use.
As in many historic churches OF
the East, most pews of st. Johns
are held by prominent families who
pay pew rental.
The memorial movement started
after the St. Johns Mems Club,
led by Justice Roberts OF the Su-
preme Court, noted that Madison's S
birthday, on March is. passed un-

window in the church is the only
monument here to the fourth Pres
ident.
Eight Presidents have been men,
bers of st. Johns congregation, and
five others worshiped there.
Tradition has it that a road ac-
cident suffered by the Madisons
prompted the movement to build a
church in the barren White House
neighborhood of early Washington.

Convex Profile

The problem here is to bring
that nose into line. The most i'm
portant thing to do is TO carry the
hair forward to mask the receding
forehead and balance the nose.
Another gray mistake in the
left-hand corner sketch Is the curl
on a level with the eye. narrowing
the face where width is most
needed
In the right-hand sketch
this curl is brushed back. You
NAV wonder why we didn't
bring the hair down over the
cheeks.
The trouble with that is this face
needs lifting.
And so upswept hairlines are
vital. That Is why you can't have
curls on the neck.
But YOU can wave the hair and
in that way build up the back of
less shorn. And having the most
width on a level with the eye gives
the nose a noticeable recession.
Hats. of course, should fol-

bangs AT all. they should be
brushed back from the face.
And high-piled curls give a long
diagonal from the nose to the back
of the head that is highly desir-
able.
But there is something else
to be considered here. The re-
trousse profile is always in
clined to look childish no mat
ter what its owners age
may be.
For that reason, litue-g
hairdo is obviously out. You want
to look older and so you can.

high and doing a DuBarry.

A brim coming down over your
nose will obliterate it completely.
Also. you must avoid naive hats
and go eoquettish in big way.
Long-Chinned Profile
No bangs. please. Because the
more forehead. the less chin by
comparison.
But YOU can wear a dip
TO relieve the stark effect
at the forehead providing
you keep il well above the
eve.
And-this is important - cover
your ears to shorten the line from
i chin to ear.
Also your hair must go out at
the back TO avoid that close fitting
line above the crown that points
straight at the chin.
Somehow the bun in the left
hand sketch adds to the general
i schoolmarmish effect.
But a floating. long bob masks

and fulfills the covered ear re-

Hats for this profile should be
off the face TO give forehead

You can imagine how turned
down brim would eclipse the fore
head and make the chin look posi-
lively grim.
This type should avoid peaks or
any height diametrieally opposite
the chin and should aim at soft
ness. scrupulously avoiding tail
ored severity.
What do you DO if profile direc-
tons conflict with those for the
full face

correcting and then follow
directions for that.

hair and millinery.
For we think makeup should al
