Neat White Prints
With Single Color

You can tell they are new the
moment you see them. It's this sea-
sons prints that have a white
ground with a colored, rather de-
mure little figure, also vice versa
the prints that have backgrounds
in lovely colors with the conven-
tional modest patterning either in
white or a contrasting color.
Prints with gray grounds are es-
pecially good this season, most often
with white figures or polka dots but
even more effective when motifs in
soft green or yellow are printed on
the gray. Mint green for a back
ground with neat designs in white
or light beige tells the new print
message and as browns with white
or ivory or henna tones there is no
limit to this color trend in prints.
1t is the neat patterned prints of
this character that designers are
making up into redingote and bolero
suits as well as the jacket suits that
have pleated skirts and long torso
lines.

so many, many things that one is
amazed at her ability and her abound

cluded-will work more smoothly.
Even your personality will improve.
If you are an invited guest in the
home of relative or friend:
Be tidy. Take care of yourself.
your room and all your belongings,
not forgetting the wet bathing suit.
Be of some use by helping when
you can in a cheerful and effortless
manner. When your hostess is busy
and you can't help, keep out of the
way.
Also give your hostess some pri-
vacy with her family. Entertain
yourself for an hour or two each day.
Don't bring any gloom into your
hostess's home.
If you are a woman guard your
gossiping tongue especially in regard
to your neighbors' housekeeping
faults and how they manage their
families, lest your hostess ask herself,
"Is that what she'll say about my
home when she leaves It'll"
Learn to do recreatiOnal things
well enough so that you will not be
problem to those entertaining YOU.
Don't embarras people with too
much gratitude.
If your hostess allows you to sleep
late, please remember she has prob
ably been up very early getting things
in line for the day, and don't expect
her to CAD about with you all night.
And don't be afraid to expect reas-
enable amount of sleep yourself, pre-
ferably at night.
Remember that your hostess
wants you to be happy and that show
ing your happiness and pleasure all
through your stay will mean more to
her than all tie heaped-up thanks you
can give on the day you are leaving.
It's a pretty big order, but if you
can fill it your hostess will bless you
and invite you again
These last few hints are for all

clothes so that you won't be disgust

would cause you to blush if you should
suddenly come face to face with some
one who thinks you're pretty swell.
.. Keep clean. . Don't return to
work too tired to be of any use.
Remember vacation is meant to do
you good, not i'll.

BEAUTY and ROMAN CE
BY MARIE DOWNING

when washing, although it is not abb
solutely necessary. If you do use a
brush, however, get regular face
brush, and not the rubber type. A
rough wash-cloth is satisfactory if
you use soap and water. When re-
moving cleansing cream it is better to
use soft tissue paper.
The second rule is this: don't apply
your makeup if your face is not alb
solutely clean. If you rub powder into
your skin when it is even slightly
dirty this may clog the little pores in
your skin and cause blackheads or
blemishes. Apply your makeup only
after cleansing, except for the little bit
of fine powder you can use for busting
shiny nose.
Then, too, it's a good idea to make
sure your powder puff is clean. Wash
it out, occasionally, just as you wash
your clothing.
And don't apply makeup too heav-
lily. Don't put on powder until 1t
forms a matted layer over your skin.
If you experiment with various shades
of powder and rouge, you'll be able to
find one which will give the effect you
want without having to be used in such
quantity.

Applying Makeup

Applying makeup
When cosmetics like powder, rouge
and eyebrow pencil are applied cor
rectly they can improve our appear
ance greatly. Nobody objects to
makeup when it is properly used.
But so many women, and especially
young girls, use too much makeup,
and apply it improperly, that l want
to give another warning against ex-
cesslVe use of cosmetics.
we wouldn't have to be so careful
about using cosmetics if the only re-
suit of overriding it was to make us
look like painted circus clowns. But
that isn't the only objection. Inferior
cosmetics, applied lavishly and not
properly removed, can cause skin
blemlshes and thus detract from our
natural beauty.
II your skin has a tendency to de-
velop blackheads and large pores, this
condition may be encouraged if you
clog up the pores with powder.
however, you can use your powder
and rouge as a protection to your COM
plexlon If you are careful to follow a
Few simple rules.
In the first place, be very sure that
all traces of these cosmetics are re-
moved from your face before you go to
ped at night. Use plenty of warm
water and soap, but be sure to rinse
the face thoroughly, first with warm
water, then with cold water. Or, il
you prefer you can remove the cos
metics with cleansing cream. This
is especially advisable if your skin is
dry.
1t is a good idea to use a face brush

BLACK lace old looking? We
- should say not! That's an old
time fallacy which modern fashion
has exploded.
When designers start in to create
a party frock that will reflect the
very embodiment of youth and
charm, it is delicate-as-a-cobweb
black lace they select to tell the
story, The program of fine black
lace is a vast one endless in inter
probation. You'll love these lace
f1atterers, especially the all-lace
gown so filmy in mesh it looks like
a mere tracery of flower and leaf
patterning silhouetted against Shout
ders and throat. &
Take our word for it, if you want
a costume that will outglamour any
that go dancing on a starry mid
summer night, choose one of these
black fantasies artfully styled in
terms of youth. With these wispy
lovely alb elk lace creations the big
fashion is play up pastel access
sories. To a fetching little flower
hat in mellow pink together with
necklace and bracelet that repeats
the pink, add pink matching gloves.
1t will be equally effective with ac-
cents of pastel blue or orchid. If
you are black-and-white devotee,
wear chalk white jewelry, gardenias
for a headpiece, with a gardenia
tied at your wrist.
The dresses that particularly lay
siege to the heart of youth for party
wear this summer are those airy
fairy creations of frothy white
starched tissue-like chiffon (pastel
tinted sheer makes up equally as
effective) that take on profusion
of rufies and bands of exquisite
black lace. You can see in the il
lustration that gowns of this type are
