NEW YORK-(C)-Dr. Charlotte
Hawkins Brown, president and
founder of Palmer Memorial In
stitute, Sedalia, North Carolina, the
only finishing school for Negroes
of teen age in the United States,
has put into printed form the teach
ings and observations and cultural
courses taught in her institution as
they have been instilled into the
minds of the hundreds of Negro
boys and girls leaving that school
DR.. Brown, as a student in the
schools OF Cambridge, Mass, at
tracted the attention Of the Pal
mers, Lowells ana Cabots, known
to the World for their culture, and
throughout her life had intimate as
sociation in their homes. She has
also been guest for weeks in the
small finishing schools in that
area.
For years Dr.. Brown has been
considered one of the foremost eX-
ponents of cultural education
among our group. Her work at
Sedalia has been observed by many,
and her teachers are considered the
teachers with grace, poise and dig
nifty.
DR.. Brown has been successful in
winning the South over to her cause

1t has been some time now since
we have discussed feet with an eye
tc beauty, but, under most circur-
stances, it is cur feet that not
cnly give us our start but carry
up through the day and evening
With a minimum Of consideration.
Too often We are likely to buy
shoes because they are so cute, or
because they makeour feet look
smaller or because the heel is so
graceful. Not that l would for a
minutes advocate shoes that are
ugly. Scutfed toes, rundown heels,
heavy soles can ruin the best out
fit but shoes that are 10 comfort
able can ruin a face and a dis
position
A shoe tnat combines beauty
and comfort is the ideal solution,
but, if that is impossible, it is
far better to sacrifice a little foot
beauty rather than limp around
attracting attention to the fact
that your SHOES are misfitted or
highly Inappropriate for the oc-
casion.
If you have a job, or do house
work, or go in for walking or
active sports, you should wear
sensible shoe by day. A good
stylish oxford looks far better in
an office than Spike-heeled, toe
less shoe which Was designed pri-
marily for evening glamour.
There is nothing more foolish
than a girl tripping over desks,
files and sundry furniture just
because She thinks high heels are
a necessary part of her costume.
Save your dainty, flimsy slippers
for evening if yoy want to save
your joo.
DON'T WEAR TIGHT SHOES

The most popular millinery in

SO smart are these little numbers

ionist of my acquaintance is re-

crocheted Dutch bonnet, which
starched and crisp forms a novel

Boutonnieres composed OF inter-

With the flower motif so popular in
ribbons. Pastel tinted pansles,
daisies. rcsebuds, violets, and blue
bells are among the button posies.
Made of a lightweight composition,
they have the appearance OF nat

pin often is obtainable to form a
pretty set.
Vegetable and fruit buttons also
are popular - lemons, bananas,
peas. corn, tomatoes and oranges
occurring in punches or single units.
They make quite splash on cas-
ual dresses of monotone hue. Sim
pie white linen or crepe frocks
form an especially appropriate
foil for such trim.
The crochet motif carries over
into the jewelry showings and
white plastic necklaces, very much

Be Careful With Eye-Shadow
Cautions Miss Helen Jameson

With red lips. clear skin and eye
lids touched with blue, a girl may
be a knockout. Sine will be if lips
aren't tco vivid and eye shadows
are faint. But if she has applied
these pigments laviShly she will be
photographic. Patriotism is noble but
even so, no girl should turn her
self into the starspangled banner.
You can't monkey with eye
shadows unless you know something
about makeup technique. Restraint
lis the secret. 1t is important TO
find the flattering color, impor-
tant also to condition the flesh be-

MUST CONSIDER TYPE
The type Of girl must be con-

than painted eye shutters, which

sartorial shortcomings.
Eye shadow oannot be used un-
less the complexion is clear and
velvety. One just must be an eye
shadow girl to get by, if you know
what we mean. An expensive girl
expresses it. The kind of a girl
whose getup cannot be criticized.
