Bv MARIS DOWNING

Columnists always must be ready
to discourse upon their studies, and
while attending the National AS
sociation of Cosmetologists con-
vention in Atlantic City several
weeks ago, I had to think fast and
talk even more quickly when one
of my readers appeared before me
in flesh and blood, and asked this
simple question::
Miss Downing, my husband OBJ
jectS to my use of cosmetics. Yet,
I feel that their use can help my
appearance. What can I do about
it?"
knew that could speak frank
ly, and so 1 replied: "Tt may be
that your husband objects to the
way you use cosmetics, more than
to cosmetics themselves. Let me
explain
USED AS SUBJECT
And because the explanation will
reply to many similar inquiries, I'll
let it be, the subject for this col
umn:
Women of good taste use cos
metics in moderation and in har-
mony with their facial character

phasize their defects. Reveal your

personality through the art OF
makeup, but do not follow a fash
ion unless it suits your individ-
uality-rather adopt the fashion to
your type.
Bleaching or tightening ones
hair, for instance, when the skin
tone does not harmonize, will have
the effect of making one appear
grotesque Using lipstick, rouges
and powders which were blended
for blonde, fair-skinned persons is
a mistake which we formerly were
forced to make since our particular
needs were given little or no con-
sideration by cosmetic manufac-
turers.
The successful use of cosmetics
depends upon the proper selection
of shades and the application OF
them to conform to the individual
type.
STUDY YOURSELF
The first step, then, is to study
yourself
If ones features are not those of
the Greek goddesses and therefore
lack classic proportions, this can be
compensated for by beautiful
complexion or by luxurious hair.
All shades of complexions can be
and are beautiful if the skin is
free from ble,nishes and they are

in harmony with the color of the
eyes, hair and eyebrows. The pink
ish white compilations which some
of us effect cannot be fiatterlng be-
cause it emphasizes, by harsh con-
trast with our dark hair, the dark
er skin beneath the makeup.
The use of makeup can only be
Justified if it enhances ones good
features and softens ones defects.
Proper hair arrangement, use OF
suitable cosmetics such as powder,
rouge, lipstick, eye pencil and mas
cara-these elements help.
SIMPLE RULES
But don't use these aids to beauty
in the theatrical manner.
Here are simple rules to observe:
ID Your makeup application
should be done in a minimum man
her, and avoid exaggeration. J
(2) Makeup must not change the
individual characteristics nor de-
stroy the personality. How often
have you seen women who have
completely changed their entire
facial expression by merely shaw
ing their brows and penciling In
an unnatural line?
90 Makeup must be in harmony
with the color of the complexion
and hair. The darker the skin an1
hair, the softer the makeup.
"a Makeup must be nharmony
with the age of the individual. The
more advanced the age, the more
restrained should be the coloring.
90 Makeup under artificial light
ing may be more intensive and ac-
cenuated.
Co Makeup should be used whici,
is in harmony with the clothing
worn. T..

Some beauty specialists believe
that lack of water is the cause
of premature wrinkles. We're pass

it may be worth. We do know that
the issues of the face, like those
all over the body are composed
largely of fluids. They need water
the skin must have it to carry on

Some Hints
On Togs For
The Cridiron
ASSOCIATED Negro Press Fashion
EditOr)

A furry of chrysanthemums,
banners, color and enthusiasm fills
the air, and suddenly agog we rea-
lie that the football season is
really underway to hold the spot
light of the country's interest for
a few, brief exciting weeks.
Enthusiasm for ones particular
school rides high, and with an
impressive array of big games on
the calendar the feminine football
fan begins to- think of a stadium
costume in which to score a few
touchdowns glances herself while
watching her heroes of the fall
SUIT ADAPTABLE
Such costume need not be too
football fashion,, Of course, and
should be one WHICH will be able
to take Main street in its stride
also. A grand version of this type
ensemble is the three-piece suit
which is so adaptable. Her ring
bcne tweed is nice here, and if you
are tired of regulation patterns,
try a bold-striped coat over
monotone suit or one Of the popu-
lar plaid three-somes. Color COM
binations are radiant this season.
Wine, geld and gay plaid turns
up in a suit of this type, the suit
plaid and the topcoat gray. 1t Is
worn with a knitted turban of red
wool Black, red and white over
red-fuchsia, green and blue, and
black, red yellow and blue are
other attractive combines.
Lose, roomy coats with hoods,
worn over bright wool dresses also
are extremely serviceable for Sat-
urday afternoons in the stands.
And absolutely perfect for the
really blustery days are the very
new full-Iength suede WindbreaK-
erS. In beautiful shades, dubon-
net autumn sky blue, and Pump
kin orange, these of-so-snug coats
have matching hats which are eX-
tremely smart. And you'll want a
hat that you. can .tWlrl around
when your team scores a goal.
Trrbans and crocheted pcmpadour
dinks are adaptable for this be-
cause they don't crush out OF
shal1e.
CORDUROY POPULAR
The real thrill in a spectator
sports ensemble for this season, to
my way of thinking, is a full
length corduroy coat slightly blous-
ed, buttoned to the. waist, belted
and Swing-Skired A model OF this
type in autumn green received lots
of applause at a recent fashion
showing. Buttons descending from
a Peter Pan collar were pigskin.
The belt was fairly wide and
deep roomy pockets accented the
skirt. Tine hat was corduroy
dink with a long tassel which bob
bed about over the shoulder. Neu-
tral pigskin gauntlets were worn.
