The average woman simply does
MT dramatize herself enough. She's
terrified at the idea of using make
up to tint her face as an artist tints
o drawing. In fact, she's scared to
death to change the shape of her
mouth even when she knows its ma
tliral shape Is none too good.
That Is the opinion of Robert de
Long, famed In Hollywood as the
originator of technicolor makeup for
some Of the first color films.
NOT IN THE
NATURAL" SCHOOL
Getting and staying completely
out Of step with the school OF
thought which proclaims that true
beauty lies in naturalness, Mr.. de
Long continues:
II think altogether too many wo-
men waste great deal of time gaz-
ing into the mirror in search OF
wrinkles crows feet and heaven
knows what other defects. I feel
strongly that this time could be bet
ter spent in experimenting with var
tous shades of eyeshadow to drama

brush on the lips, or mastering the

When Bertha D. was told that she
had syphilis it was a terrible shock.
II went to pieces entirely" she says.
II was afraid they would think me
a common woman"
She was largely ignorant about
such matters when the infection was
discovered through a blood test
made after a motor accident, and
did not know it could be picked up
by chance contact. She wondered
If the husband whom she had trust
ed completely had been unfaithful

When test of his blood showed
him to be free from disease she
decided (having now become some

lection must have been acquired
from some customer whom she hap
pened to touch, in just the right
way, during her years of work as
hairdresser. Then, with determin-
alton, she went ahead with the nee
essary treatments.
Three years after this she discov-
cred swelling in her breast, feared
cancer, but had such dread of surg

nothing about it. But once more
the mood of wholesome determine

"If I let this go probably I won't
be able to be cured" she said. The
operation was performed on Christ

experience.
After the operation she asked the
surgeon to tell her plainly the pre-

every minute to sense when silence
IS the better part Of valor.
Often she vii have to hole
back comments and opinions
which might have Unfavorable re.
percussions. No matter what the
provocatiOn, her wit must never tllrr
acid.
/ She must not lend her name tc
anti-social movements. However
impersonal her interest, such
group movements may use the
patronage Of the. wife, Of the
President for purposes Of which
she cannot possibly have full
knowledge.
She must keep in mind the fact
that whatever her status So
cially, politically she is back
ground. This does not imply that
she is negative personality. On
the contrary, she must keep In
formed on all questions of ma
tional import. Yet at no time
throughout her years as mistress
of the White House should she as
sumo voice in governmental prob
lens unless called upon to do so by
some crisis nobody can foresee.
Her charm must be like that Of
a. garden, so that everyone who
comes into her presence senses
graciouS7lesS and fragrance. The
thorns should never be more
prominent than the roses.
She will have ample opportun-
ity to commercia1ize her position.
But each time she accepts a COB
that pays well, no matter how
charitably she may apply this
payment, she submits her acts to
the columnists and cartoonists;
and lampoons can destroy a ma
tional figure (when that figure is
feminine) with aim as fatal as
the most deadly lethal weapon.
A world ridden by fear and
dashed by the whip of nervous
exhaustion looks to the United
States for rescue. The woman
who stands at the side OF our next
President shares that responsibility.
SHE HAS NEVER q
PUBLICIZED HERSELF
We cannot definately state in adj
vance how Mrs. Wendell Willkie
would fill the exacting position of
mistress of the White House. But
judging by past performances, it is
safe to guess that Mrs. Willkie pos
sesses the first requisites of First
Lady.
Since her husbands nomination
she has never been out Of the pict-
ure, yet never conspicuously part OF.
it. Content to take her place with
dignity, she has made no mis-step.
She has son to whom she is de-
voted; yet not once throughout Mr..
WILKES tour of the country has
she played up the role of mother,
even though it might have gained
favorable attention and possibly
votes. She has vitality; yet does not
turn it on in blaze for publicity
purposes. She has charm, grace,
taste and good looks. a rare COM
bination dear to the hearts of press
agents; she uses none of these to
foster interest In herself.
Above all, she has proven that
she understands the essential gift
Of the wife of man In public life
the value Of silence.

warmth of color on eyelids. If you
have dark eyes, he says, experiment
with light eyeshadows only.
Don't ever say that you are
too old to wear eyeshadow or to
try to change the shape of your
mouth or to bother about changing
the color of your skin from gray to
pink" Mr.. de Long continues. "The
older you are, the more interested
you ought to be in dramatizing what
ever good looks you have left. Make
no mistake about 1t, regardless of
your age, coloring, who you are or
where you live, your appearance can
be improved with cosmetics the
right shades of cosmetics, skillfully
applied.
1T think it's great mistake for
woman to allow herself forty min
utes In the morning for bathing and
dressing and then only ten for max
ing up, I may be prejudiced-I prob
ably arn-but / think she ought to
allow at least twenty minutes for
making up every morning of her

Robert Louis Stevenson wrote
once in a letter that for IA years
he had not had day of real health;
he had wakened sick and gone to
