Way
To Apply
Rouge
Blending of Color
Important for a
Natural Look
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Much has been written about the
oval face. the round and the square,
but 1t takes one of the leading
makeup men Of Hollywood, Clay
Campbell, to draw our attention to
the girl with the triangular facet
There are two types of triangular
faces. One has a high broad fore
head, high cheek bones and narrow
chinline. The other has q lower
hairline and narrower forehead, full
round cheeks and prominent chin
line.
Both of these types have their
problems of makeup. The girl with
the broad brow needs to balance the
lower part of her face and the girl
with prominent chinline desires
to make 1t less apparent.
According to Mr.. Campbell the
camouflaging is not done with mir
rors but with rouge! For, claims
he, the beauty of any woman's face
is accented by the artful application
Of cheek and lip coloring!
He suggests that the girl with
prominent cheek bones should place
her rouge in q sWooping letter "S"--
starting close to her ear and blending
the color out over her cheek bone
and down with curve to the chin
line. Her Cupid's bow should be
drawn fuller than the natural line.
To soften the heavy line of full
cheeks and chin, you place the cheek
coloring in q triangle, starting far
back at the end of the eyebrow and
ending at the cushion of the chin
The rouge should be kept back on
the outer part of the cheek. Lips
must be made up full and broad
Thus half Of the full cheeks and jaw
remain in shadow while the rest Of
the face is high lighted with powder
Quite naturally you must select
; rouge coloring which is flattering
to your skin tone and not so vivid
that the eye travels to it before
the rest of your face.
Women frequently make the mis-
take OF wearing the wrong shade OF
rouge, which gives them painted
appearance" Select your cheek col.
oring patiently. Test the opened
samples on the cosmetic counter on
your hands or wrists, if not on your
face, and If it is possible, walk tc
the daylight before deciding on the
color.
Powder rouges are much more easy
to apply II you are not adept in
putting on makeup. It should be
powdered on after the first appli-
cation of powder, and covered softly
with a second application Of pow
der. Even then a little blending
with your finger tips helps to give
a softer more natural appearance
to the color.
Cream rouge must be applied be-
fore powder and to make it smooth
more nicely, first dip your finger
tip In bit of cold cream then on
the rouge cake. Be sure the line
is not harsh and that the color is
put on evenly and blended to al
most no color far back on your
cheek.

Some Types
OF Stories

Selection When

By ANGELO PATRI.

John! John! Be careful. The
children are listening"
20, they won't understand it If
they hear it. Anyway, they must
learn sometime to tell joke and
hear one"
But must they hear and tell that
kind of story? Couldn't they grow
up without knowing it, or hearing
it. or telling it? don't enjoy them.
Maybe they won't"
'They are going to live with the
rest of us and they'll need sense
of humor. don't want my children
to fold their hands and look pious
at the mention of an innocent joke.
Evil be to him who evil thinks A
story isn't dirty just because some
one thinks it is"
And it isn't clean because some
one says it is, either. I don't want
the children to be too nice, but I
don't want them to look for their
fun in smutty things either"
We have let down the bars to
many topics and many words that
were once shut out from polite So
ciety. Some Of them were good old
words that had their place in our
speech when strength and sincerity
and directneSs were concerned.
There is nothing offensive in the
word damn" or "hell," for example.
If offense is intended the words have
to be put in a sentence that in itself
is offensive. They are not bad words.
They have to be used in q way that
makes them bad. So with the rest
of the picturesque group. Use makes
them good or bad.
How about the stories? Laughter
Is good for us all, and we lean TO-
ward those who give us occasion for
1t. We like OF be put in the humor
for laughter and we like those who
help us to get there. RisQue stories
are often very funny and, of course,
we enjoy them. But it seems to me
that there is a limit beyond which
good taste will not permit this story
telling to go.
One point is clear in my mind.
Children under IS ought to be spared
these funny stories. They have not
the experiences that make them
humorous to adults and they are
likely to be led into wrong attitudes,
into making wrong deductions, into
forming their manners and morals
on false basis. Experience decides
upon the humor of any situation,

counted out on that score.

General Maid
And Duties
In House
Train Your Servant
TOGiVe Service
At AuTimes
BY FRANCESCA MCKINNEY.

ny FhANCESCA MchENNE1.
The servant question" has long
been a problem, and each year be-
comes more so. Since depression
days many people have had to re-
duce their household staff, while
others are just starting out with
their first maid.
For those who are not just sure
what the duties of general maid
are, I shall try to outline few
rules.
First of all you will have to take
into consideration the size of your
home and family. The larger the
home the less service you can ex-
pect unless you are going to pitch
in and help. A person can only do
50 much and no more, so don't ex-
pect the impossible!
Train your maid to clean the
living room as soon as she arrives,
then arrange for breakfast. Every
one should eat at the same time
or your maid will never finish.
Marmalade, honey and butter should
be placed on a Lazy Susan" and
put on the table as we'll as the
coffee service. For hot breads, have
a muffin dish with a cover to keep
the bread warm while sitting on
the table. Each member of the FAM
lily can help himself, thereby saw
ing the maid, and she can be
Strengthening her kitchen. Dishes
should be washed Immediately after
each meal so as to keep the place
neat and orderly.
Following this the bedrooms must
be put in order, but most important
of all is to make each member of
the family leave his or her room
neat. In other words, they must be
made to put their clothes away
properly, and take off the bedcovers
so the bed will be we'll aired be-
fore the maid makes it up.
The mistress of the house should
place her order for the day as earlv
as possible SO the meat and groc-
cries will not arrive at the last
minute. She must also write out
the menus for the day and hang
them in the kitchen.
Each room should be given a
thorough cleaning once week and
one day devoted to cleaning the
Silver. Teach your maid to rub the
tines of the silver forks with salt
Immediately after they have been in
contact with eggs. This will remove
the black sulphur marks, which
not only mar the beauty of your
silver, but if left on. will eat into it,
making it difficult job to get off
If left any length of time.
Don't put all your silver on dis
play, because nothing is worse than
dirty silver, and one poor general
housework girl just hasn't time to
clean a quantity of it. If there are
three or four in the family, a half
dozen OF everything is sufficient;
the other half should be cleaned
and stored in their cases in the
sideboard, where they can be easily
reached when necessary. If the
silver tea service is covered with a
large cloth each night before you
retire, it will stay bright for a week.
The mistress of the house must
supply the maid with her morning
and afternoon uniforms and aprons.
The maid should wash her own
clothes with the exception of her
dresses, which 60 to the laundry.
Gray or green dresses are the best
for the morning, and black for
the afternoon with a small organdy
apron, cuffs and collar to match.
Remember to live as well as you
can day in and day out II you want
your maid to be ON her toes.

years Of boys and fun and dates
ahead Of you. Your mothers con-
fdence, cooperation, and tolerance
will be extra important then. Why
toss them out the window now
before the real fun begins?
1t will be clever of you to play for
the future In this situation, hard as
that may seem. II you can win your
mothers confidence by doing as she
wishes now, you'll always have that
confidence. She'll know that you
can be counted on to make right de-
cisions-to do the right thing at the
right time. You'll have a sound
sense of values. BY doing the hard
thing now you'll make freedom all
the easier to obtain in the future.
There's only one possible alterna-
tive: Bring the whole crowd into
your home for informal good times.
Meet them nowhere else! Prove to
your mother, If you can, that the
boys are worthy Of your friendship.
There won't be fireworks if she will
agree to meet them with an open
mind. She may decide to like them
after all, allowing you to entertain
them often.
Talk this whole problem over with
your mother, just as you have with
us. She is tremendously interested
in your happiness, and she should
know how much friends mean to
teen-age girls and boys. Perhaps
she won't change her mind about
the older boys, but you will be able
to show her that you are girl with
good sense-a girl anxious to con-
f1de in q more experienced person,
considering all sides Of every social
problem or situation.
At IA strong bond of confidence
and understanding between your
mother and yourself is far more
important than a whole Boy Scout
troop Of interesting fellows.
Hints for Better
Telephone Personality.
Girls, when you're on the tele-
phone, your voice takes the center
OF the stage. Your big brown eyes,
or your sensational hair-do, won't
help bit. It's up to your voice
and what you say with ito make
a hit with the person on the other
end of the wire.
Accept or decline invitations
graciously. Make your voice warm
and interested-even if you had to
leave a comfortable bed to answer
the telephone, or dashed from the
shower, all soap and water.
Boys, don't chirrup, Guess who
this is?" when calling a girl on the
telephone! If you do, it'll serve
you right If she reels of five or six
wrong names before arriving at
yours.
When you telephone avoid saying,
''Who is this?" It's more correct to
ask for the person to whom you wish
to speak.

Dorothy Dix Says
Handle Stepchildren With Tact
IfYou Want to Have Peace

your life miserable in all the ways in
which the devilish ingenuity Of chill
dren can suggest.
So my advice to you is to meet the
situation with whatever patience you
can. Bear with the children with
fortitude. Handle them with tact
and assert no authority over them.
That will do more than anything else
to promote peace in the household,
and you can sustain yourself with
the comforting thought that it will
not be long before they are grown
and gone about the business of life
for themselves.
The lot of the stepmother is so
often martyrdom that / wonder
that any woman ever has the cour-
age to enter it.
X X X
Dear Miss DIX have worked
all my life since I was quite a young
girl. Now am getting on in years
and am retired on a small pension.
My home life is so miserable that
I am on the verge of a nervous
breakdown, and I am wondering if
I would not be justified in breaking
away from my family. and living in
cheerful surroundings. Don't you
think am entitled to a little peace
and happiness after working so
many years and helping other people
all I possibly could? I am an old
maid and looked upon as rather a
joke on that account in the family.
DESPERATE.
Answer-Of course you should 70
away from your family and live the
balance of your life in peace and
comfort. Nothing else has brought
more misery to more people than the
silly old fallacy that all the members
of family should live together, no
matter how uncongenial they were
nor how much they got on each
others nerves.
We always talk about breaking up
a home as If it were tragedy, but
in the great majority of cases it is
a godsend. For it separates BROTH
ers and sisters who are always at
each others throats and parents who
are always in a row with their
children. DOROTHY DIX.

Dear Dorothy Dix: I am married
to a man who has several children,
all over 10 years of age. Their
mother divorced my husband for
another man and is of questionable
character. The children all live with
my husband and me. He supports
them well, and our home is very
pleasant except for the influence
their mother has over them. They
visit her often and seem to think
her the most wonderful mother in
the world, even though she does not
do one thing for them. Isn't their
first duty to their father and me?
Should I give in to them and spoil
them in order to try to win their
love? Or should I try to correct
them in the things they need to be
corrected in so badly? What want
is peace and happiness in the home.
H. M. j.
Answer don't think that the
prospect of your having any peace
and happiness in q home in which
there are several adolescent STEP
children is very good, especially if
you have to combat the influence of
their mother. Even ones own chill
dren are hard to deal with at that age
when youngsters are drunk on their
first taste of freedom and cocksure
that they are incarnate wisdom and
that their parents are fossils with
outmoded opinions that are not
worth considering. Stepchildren Of
fer an even greater problem. They
are nearly always antagonistic to a
stepmother, suspicious OF her mo-
tives and resentful OF her authority,
no matter how kind she is to them
nor how hard she tries to do her
duty.
Furthermore, in your case there is
the added complication of their own
mother, who probably is jealous of
you and does all she can to ALLEVIATE
her children from you.
For you to try to correct these
children will simply be loves labor
lost. They will not take either ad-
vice or criticism from you, and you
will only antagonize them and they
will gang up against you and make

ment, business and labor to effect
recovery, said last night that de-
mocracy itself was threatened by
delay and quarrels over getting the

In an address prepared for the

in some other lands where demo-
cratic government failed to meet
their needs the people had given
up their liberties to dictators.
"And every day that we permit
the plague of unemployment to raw
age our people, we strengthen the
dictators hand" he added. Every
day that we let the problem of un-
employment go unsolved we make
inroads on democracy-the thing we
want to save-and give encourage
ment to dictatorship-the thing we
want earnestly to avoid. We must
face them before it is too late"
The task, he went on to say, Is

FEUSI- JENSEN STORE
 IS ROBBED OF CASH

The Feusi and Jensen store was the scene of a robbery last night according to Tom Jensen, clerk. who upon opening for business this morning found door between the warehouse and grocery room broken open and about $75 in cash missing from the register. He immediately reported the matter to City Marshal Schramm who called in Deputy U s. Marshal Walter Hellan of Juneau to assist with the Investigation.
 Apparently the intruder had gain ed entrance through the street door to the warehouse room where most of the heavy hardware supplies are kept, Jensen said. The bar usually placed on the inside of the door at night had been inadvertently left off The usual custom of taking the cash out of the register had likewise been overlooked when the store was closed after the days business.
