 That is comforting thought for the glamor girl, but before she takes it too much to heart, she had better realize that those are the words of French painter-a spe- cialist in feminine beauty.

Go feminine" in a lingerie trim frock! Here is Claire Tilden's sweet new interpretation-Pattern 796- the easiest and best-fitting button front dress you could hope to make for yourself. A collar and cuffs of white embroidered organdy or sheer contrasting fabric will be so bright and effective against paStels or dark colors. If you need a less dressy style, why not stitch up the neat and-nifty version with a notch col lar of self fabric. In cotton broad cloths, this tailor-type is ideal for wear in place of a smock! Take note of how the high, flaring skirt gives a pretty fitting to the dia- phragm. And remember-the belt may come from the sides or the front panel to tie at the back.
 Pattern 796 is cut in misses and women's sizes IA, 16, IS, 20, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 and A. Size 16 requires yards of 35 inch fabric; 1-2 yard contrast and 1 3-4 yards ruffling.
 Send FIFTEEN CENTS (15c) in coins for this pattern. WRITE CLEARLY SIZE, NAME, ADDRESS AND STYLE NUMBER.

Long ago I decided that ten dency to gain weight and dry skin were my individual beauty prob lems," she continues. T keep my hips slim by doing exercises and my waistline and throatline trim by eating little less than actually want at meal time and never nib bling between meals. Regular use of good night cream keeps my second problem in hand.
 You see, never economize on night cream. found brand I liked and I've stuck to it. always re- plenish my supply when nearby store is having cosmetic sale, but even if there were no sales, I'd buy that cream anyway.
 "On everything else I do econo- mize. For instance, my powder base costs 25 cents jar, and my face powder, rouge and lipstick are priced proportionately. I've taken the trouble to learn to apply each item expertly and I don't use it lavishly just because it didn't cost great

that the Iodin Ration will restore the original color to gray hair, although many persons who have taken it have declared that it does A typical instance:
 "Just about year ago my hair was turning gray at the temples. I am fifty. I began taking the iodin ration which you recommended. At the present time my hair has re- Sumed its natural color, dark brown, and where the general effect year ago was gray now the effect is brown even at the temples ." (Mrs. H. O. D.
 My own interpretation of this and much similar testimony is (a) the iodin ration retards or postpones graying of the hair and associated manifestations of premature senility or old age; (b) one views the first gray hairs with a feeling of sadness and dismay about the ruthless on- slaught of the cold gradations of decay, fore-boding to which iodine shortage predisposes, as it does to other gloomy apprehensions; Co in the course of the six months or year after adoption of the Iodin Ration as routine one notices that the hair is not so gray as one feared it would be by that time-and this observation itself is reaSsuring, while at the same time the correction of the iodine shortage restores the normal outlook, the old cheerful ca1f in heart, as the saying is. After all, as some philosopher has said, youth is not a time of life; it is state of mind.
 Even if an adequate intake of iodine merely renders the prograss of death painless or less terrifying it is of great value. By that I mean to remind you simply that all life, animal and vegetable, follows the ordained cycle of birth, growth maturity, reproduction, decline or degeneration and death-death be- ing the periodic reduction of ma terials to elementary form for recon struction. At no point in the cycle is there a perceptible pause. Life is constant change. In a biological sense we may regard death as the gradual decline or degeneration that begins the moment the body attains full maturity, and the rate of pro- gress of this degeneration depends to a considerable degree on nutri- tional condition, and that, of course depends on how you live.
 So my advice is plain: Take your Iodin Ration and keep young.

What 8 lovely setting for your home! Beneath your windows dwarf rose bushes such as the ever blooming hybrid tea. At corners and entrance-the tall Towering shrub, buddleia.
 To get best results from roses choose plants propagated by bud- ding. Set in the ground as our dia- gram shows-placing the little shoulder CAD two inches below the surface.
 Springs good season for plant ing roses-and the best time for the all-important prning for "qual- ity" blooms. Cut young bushes to point B in the diagram, leaving outside buds so bush will branch outward. Older plants you prune to point c.
 For shrubs, too, pruning is vital Buddleia will produce gorgeous blossoms for you in summer if you cut the bush close to the ground in spring.
 Clever when setting out shrubs to avoid planting too close together. Until the shrubs grow up, fill Scanty spots with perennialS.
 Practical helpful information on gardening is given in our new 32- page booklet, HOW TO PLANT AND CARE FOR YOUR GARDEN By H. E. Downer, horticulturist of Vassar college, it tells how to grow annuals, perennials, shrubs, vines, bulbs, roses. Directions for lawns, tres, preparing soil. How to con- quer pests, diseases.
