Trend Is To Sane
Dress And Makeup

The woman who is beautifully
groomed and truly poised takes
first prize this season. It's a year
to look like a lady-a lady with
a personality of her own and a
great deal of common sense.
The sometimes coy. family al
bum" effects. achieved by upswept
hair-do's. strapless evening gowns
and Gibson Girl blouses, are almost
as outmoded now as the dropping
evelid. should err lie n & t h bob,
languid-mannerism get-ups of a
few seasons ago.
The trend toward sanity in
dress and makeup may be due to
the influence of the war or the
simple. lady clothes that Paris de-
signers are turning out these days.
Or simply to the fact that modern
woman found it difficult to keep
her hair up. wear a hustle and at
the same time be her own active,
interesting self.
At any rate, at first nights in
the theater and other functions
where society gathers (opening OK
the horse show, for instance),
there's hardly an up-swept couture,
a hustle or a black ribbon around
the throat to be seen. There's no
hint of mannishness or severe tall
oring in dress, but neither are
there frills, frou-frou and unneces-
sary froth.
The effects achieved by artful
application of makeup are equally
sane. Women look handsome or
beautiful rather than pretty or
cute. Hair is dressed on the neck
line instead of on the shoulders
or high on the head. 1t shows the
results of meticulous brushing and
frequent shampooing, as well as
skillful arrangement by the hair
dresser. Fewer gadgets are worn
in the hair. Rinses remain i'm
portant, but obviously bleached
hair is out.
Mascara and eyeshadow are APP
piled sparingly and artistically.
Nearly everyone wears rouge
but only a little Of it. Faces
have a dull, mat finish-not a
heavily-powdered look.

you what happens whenever I go

cam. Her parents almost always

THE CHRONIC LATE-COMER

Dear Mrs. Post: Some one has
just told me something that I can
hardly believe, and SO / am COM
ing to you to find out if it is
really true. It's about women who
keep men waiting. I find it hap
pens all the time that man and
a girl make a definite date; he
goes to her house and is told she
will be right down. And then he
waits anywhere from ten minutes
to half an hour! 1 don't call this
polite at any time-but when he
has theater tickets, 1 think it's
inexcusable. My best girl tells me
that it is done on purpose! She
says that she was taught that it
is correct to keep a man waiting
at least ten or fifteen minutes
so that she want seem too eager.
Will you give me your opinion
about this.
Answer: can't imagine who
taught her that rudeness is polite!
agree that if she were to sit out
on the front steps looking up the
street, she might be considered
overeager = but to be ready to
come downstairs promptly is one
of the very first exactions of good
manners-at least in her own
house. Even if she were meeting
you downtown for lunch, she
should be no more than one or
at most two minutes late-unless
she knows you are always late and
guages her time accordingly. The
reason why she should be a min
ute late is that the man should be
kept waiting for the girl-not she

Dewey Talk Of Major Import
Address Tonight May Give Clue
To His Political Philosophy

no polished orator-no Roosevelt In
his use of words and tones-but he
is much better speaker than his
Gridiron Club remarks may have
indicated. Also not only has Mr..
Taft been speaking over the country,
but his agents have been engaged in
the practical business Of rounding
up delegates. He's set to give Mr..
Dewey, and Senator Vandenberg as
well, a race.
To return to Dewey, his speech Of
tonight, one can be sure, will have
been thought out to the last word
and syllable. Many days will have
gone into It's making. For Mr.. Dewey,
whose fight on racketeering has
caught the imagination Of the people
and paved the way for a sympathetic
hearing of his claims to preferment,
faces now a supreme test.
Is he something more than q
highly successful prosecutor? Has
he the maturity of mind that a
President should have? What are
the great issues as he sees them?
To what extent would he discard
the work of the New Deal and to
what extend build upon it? How,
concretely, would he attack the
problem of putting the unemployed
back to work? How would he deal
with relief? What does he think
Of spending for public works? OF
budget balancing? OF pensions?
What does he propose to do for the
farmers? What, in his view, should
be the foreign policy of the United
States in the light of the present
desperate state Of world affairs?
Mr.. Dewey cannot be expected to
answer all these questions Of policy
tonight, but he will have to face
them all, and more, In the course Of
the campaign.
Views on Foreign Affairs.
Advance notices indicate that he
will devote portion of his speech
to foreign affairs. In this field 1t
will be possible to compare his views,
Immediately, with those Of his two
principal opponents for the Repub-
lican nomination, for they are both
on record.

isolationist group and helped to lead
the losing fight against repeal Of
the arms embargo in the last session
Of Congress Senator Taft, break
ing with most Of his Republican
colleagues of the House and Senate,

illogical and voted with the admin
istration forces for repeal Both of
them sought to protect the peace
of the United States. but they diff
fered sharply as to the right meth
ods to that end. Senator Taft. ad-

ton for the President in the conduct
of foreign affairs than most Of the

declared 1t was important that the
Republican party should not cry

this time to see where Mr.. Dewey's
thinking on foreign affairs has led
him.

Dr.. J. R. Carr Lectures
On Christian Science

Last night in the Third Church
of Christ, Scientist, DR.. John r
Carr of the Christian Science Board
of Lectureship spoke on "The Sci
ence of Christian Healing"
Excerpts from his lecture follow:
christian Science, with its SCI
entifically Christian system of mind
healing as taught and practiced
originally by Christ Jesus and in
this age by Mary Baker Eddy, is a
subject of supreme Importance and
profound significance to the whole
world"
"Christian Science is a science,
philosophy and religion, three
fold mode of thought whereby truth
comes to the understanding
Through Christian Science thought
is repented, reformed, regenerated
purified and spiritualized-the hu-
man yielding to the divine, and
through baptism or the submergence
of the human in the divine con-
sciousness is exalted to the high
level of spiritual understanding"
This science offers to a sick and
SHINING world a system of healing
which is scientific, Christian, abso-
lutte, exact, full and final; a system
which, when applied according to
the science stated in Science and
Health With Key to the Scriptures,
by Mary Baker Eddy, has healed,
is healing and will continue to heal
in an ever-increasing manner every
ill that flesh is heir to-"
"The principle, rule and proof Of
this Christianly scientific system OF
medicine are set forth in the writ
ings of Mrs. Eddy, which, together
with the King James version Of the
Bible, form the texts of Christian
Science. Christian Science healing
is a system Of therapeutics identical
with that taught and practiced by
Christ Jesus"
Health Is q spiritually mental
state, not . physiological nor. an
anatomical one. Healing is a meta
physical or divinely mental process,
not a physical nor pathological
one"
