little frock to slip into, and so fig

the new sleek look of fall, with long
darts that break into unexpected
fullness, giving a slight ripple to
the skirt. Those darts make the

praise the item has received since
its introduction -.
Also important in this individu-
allied repair job is the selection of
a powder especially suited to your
needs. We have long been a be-
lever in this business of having
face powder especially mixed by
an expert to suit your skin tones,
and now comes a chance to try
out the theory. if you haven't done
so before. All this week, you may
have a nice big box of powder
with the compliments of a we'll
known firm when you buy some of
their products. Their consultant
will mix a box for you in a hurry
but with care and precision that
comes from long experience in the
gentle art.
It's nothing short of amazing to
discover what a difference the right
tones make in your entire appear
ance. And at this particular time
of the year, when your skin is a
bit below par, there's no better
chance to find out. You'll like all
the products in this 1ine-and we're
sure that you'll be charmed with
powder that is just right for you
alone.
That patriotic fervor which has
been sweeping the country is appar-
ent enough, but it's even more OBJ
vious to an English girl in town this
week to represent one of our pet lines
of British cosmetics. Miss Lythe
Orme, the representative, is enthusi-
astic about the way the country has
taken to this patriotic feeling and
finds it thrilling indeed.
Having just returned from the
West Coast where such stars as Merle
Oberon and Geraldine Fitzgerald
are enthusiastic devotees of these
cosmetics, Miss Orme has high
words of praise for the charm and
chic of American women. Parti-
cularly we'll received by them has
been the special lotion which this
column has praised before that's
the pinky beige lotion which is
painted on the face with a camels
hair brush and left on overnight.
Next morning 1t is removed with a
special cream and good soap, leaving
your face as soft and smooth as

all this week and she really has
some helpful hints about your sum-

The new pupils are coming to
school for the beginning of the
term. Most of them were born in
this their home town, where the
traffic has become second nature
to them. They know about the
lights at crossings, they know not to
play in the streets, they know how to
avoid street dangers. Yet here are
their mothers holding fast to their
hands-tense, stony-faced, rigid
against the walls of hall or class
room, in dread fear that their chill
dren are going to come to harm.
I can understand how a mother
feels about sending her baby to
school. Although she has watch
ed and tended him from helpless
infancy to his present eager, self
helping childhood, she still thinks
Of him as that helpless little arm
ful-her baby. That is not good.
It is a hardship on the child and
the teachers.
The first-grade teacher has to
face about fifty little ones who
have never seen the inside of q
classroom before. She must teach
them to take care of themselves.
Nobody could be expected to put
on so coats, with so pairs of gloves,
fit on SO pairs of rubbers, button
so coats and tie countless strings at
each dismissal time. Mother says,
"Of course not, I'll come and do itP
That is not good either. Mothers
should not enter classrooms for
the first weeks of school. Their
presence there hinders the train
ing of their children. The teacher
must teach them all to remove
their outer clothing, hang 1t in its
place, and march in order to their
respective places. They must learn
to do this quickly, quietly and ef-
sficiently. The teacher Is expert in
this training and will have 1t done
perfectly In three days If the
mothers viii only keep out Of sight.

Mother Should Stay Home
On Tots First SchOOlday

One mother is so anxious about
her child that she disobeys all
regulations and opens the class
room door on crack, peeks
through, can't see her child, gets
excited and rushes in to find him.
He sees her and rushes to her.
The attention of the little ones is
now centered upon this dramatic
meeting. 1t is not until the teacher
can get that mother and her son
out of the room again that she can
command the attention of her
charges. She must start all over
now, from the beginning, to direct
the children to stand and face and
march and hang their things, or
take them down, whichever 1t Is.
Then she must stand guard while
they struggle into their coats. They
must find their own way into their
sleeves, and discover the right
buttonhole for the right button. As
this is new for many of them it
takes plenty of time, lots of en-
couragement, and very hard work
on the teachers part. The children
like it all and everything is fine If
the mothers keep out.
Then there is the crying child.
He always appears the first day
and his mother always wants to
sit in class with him. She cannot
be allowed there. She must go
home, leave the child with the
teacher to cry it out and learn,
first hand, that nothing but good
will attend him in school. He learns
it in the morning session, if his
mother goes home and lets him
learn it.
So, if you would help the begin
ming child, label his clothes, send
him along to school with an older
child, keep away from the class
room for q month unless you are
asked to go there. That is the
best help you can give young,
new scholar. Unless, beforehand,
you had the good thought Of
teaching him to dress and undress

set, the other Belle. In 1872 Lord
Galway sold some of the offspring
of the original brace to Lord Ons-
low, fourth earl Lord Onslow aug
mented his ''bassets" with blood
from the original French source.
Then he sold a large number of the
resulting litters to a Mr.. George
Krehl and Sir Everett Millias.
From whence spring most of the
best BaSsetS in America.
BassetS aren't overly available be-
cause of breeding difficulties. Even
at that, they're confined in the main
to hunt-minded people. For the
little dog has nose second only
to the bloodhound. When you re-
call that the bloodhound trailing
testimony is the only evidence of
the sort allowed in court you under
stand just how good that Basset
nose is. The short legs put the
nose on the ground with no effort
at all on the dogs part; he was
made that way. So he ambles along
at good walk, missing nothing.

cute may make DOr0tny LARK look
merely sallow. The sports slacks
that hang beautifully from Peggy's
slim hips are grotesque when
stretched over Mabel's prominent
posterior. Ruffles and frills help
fill out Paulas angular lines, but
they make Buxom Bertha look like
an over r-decorated Christmas tree.
If you now have a dress in which
you look unusually well, and on
which you have already received
many compliments, study it care
fully. Just what is there about
that frock-its lines. its fabric, its
color-that makes it right for you?
After you've owned few such gar
mentS, and an equal number that
turn out to be all wrong, you'll be-
gin to learn a few fundamentals
about what you can and cannot
wear. And you'll keep them firmly
in mind whenever you add to your
wardrobe-no matter how much
something wrong" may appeal to
you when it's in the shop window
and not on your back.
But even though your clothes are
suitable to you, they still must be
right for the occasion. For school
and Office, simplicity should be your
watchword. Spectator sports clothes
are good. Fancy and frivolous effects
should be avoided, but that doesn't
mean that you have to go in for
severity. Be attractive, but not
ornate.
In picking a costume for any oc-
casion it's well to keep in mind two
facts. First, it's always better to
be a little underdressed than a lit
tie overdressed. Second, it's we'll to
lean toward the conservative in
choosing your clothes. The dress
that strikes you as dashingly daring
today may seem merely cheap and
garish tomorrow. Fads come and
go so fast that you can hardly keep
up with them-and most of them
aren't worth adopting. anyway. It's
far better to stick to the things that
you know make you look your best,

eye and dropping ears. His legs are
short like the dachshunde's and he
has a beagleish body, all of which
is piece meal and wrong. He re-
ceived his attributes at about the
same time that his contemporaries
received theirs.
Unfortunately, after you've chased
the lineage of most dogs back to
the 18th century, you've journeyed
about as far as is accurately pos
sible. Especially if you're dealing
with a breed of dog belonging to
a large class. For instance. the
Basset belongs to the hound group.
He and other hounds may be pur-
sued into yesterday just so far.
Then they merge into hounds proper
called gaze" hounds (hunt by sight)
and the bloodhound, hunting by
scent.
Above, below and around such
nomenclature the individual breed
was distinguished by being CLASH
fed as large bloodhound or a small
bloodhound, in the vernacular of
the time, and that was that. Pri-
vate names shine out in ancient
canine history. In the hound group,
to which belongs the Basset, there
are the st. Hubert hounds of old.
The Basset can point paw with
pride to the old French hounds, too.
They seem to be among his an
cestors.

sets past reads like this: A Lord

Dessed Girls Choose Clothes Suitable Personality
Almost Every
Man Can Be
Popular
Winning Love Is Art
For Which There
Is No Formula
BY DOROTHY DIX.


A man asks me these questions:
How can a man be fascinating and
popular with women? Can any man
win the love of any woman if he
tries? There is wide difference
between being popular and fasci-
mating. One may be achieved by
taking thought, by effort and by
intelligence. The other is beyond
human power to acquire. 1t is a
gift of the gods, bestowed as capri
ciously as tenor voice or a Greek
nose. There is no school of cor
respondence that can teach you the
art of being a fascinator. Probably
the fascinator himself doesn't know
how he does it. On the other hand,
any man who is willing to take the
trouble can make himself popular
with women, because women are
simple creatures and easily pleased
where men are concerned. If you
want to be attractive to women,
begin by dressing as well as your
income will permit, and in all events
keep yourself neat and clean and
pressed. A slovenly woman is not
half so revolving to a man as a
three-day stubble of beard, soiled
linen and rumpled, baggy clothes
is to woman. Having made your
self presentable, carry on the good
work by making yourself an inter-
esting and agreeable companion.
Cultivate a line. Get something to
talk about besides yourself and what
you said to the boss and the boss
said to you. Think up interesting
things to do and new places to go
on date. Remember the taste of
the woman you want to please. She
will be far more hattered at your
sending her a 15-cent bunch of
corn flowers, because you tell her
that they are just the color of her
eyes, than she would be at getting
a IS orchid sent hit or miss.
You can still further boom your
stock in the popularity market by
talking to every woman about her

You can also use fattery ad lib.
No woman ever~yet turned a deaf
ear to the man who sang her praises
or wearied of the man who told
her how beautiful and wonderful
she was.
1t is no trouble to make a woman
like you, but love is a different mat
ter. Love is a miracle that happens
to a man. He doesn't work it him
self, and when it occurs he couldn't
tell to save his life how it came
about or what he did to turn the
trick
1t isn't matter of looks, because
some of the homeliest men in the
world have been the greatest devils
among the ladies. 1t isn't wit or
wisdom, for the men who know the
most about other things generally
know the least about women and
how to win them.

there's no time like the present to
start streamlining your face and
figure.
Helpful in this "renovating proc

will help you to shed that tough

Semble. There is, first of all, a
soft cleansing cream which is gen.
erously applied. Then you make
a paste of water and the powder,
which is the other ingredient, and
use it as a mask, letting it almost
dry on your skin before you rub it
off. And really rub hard to remove
that roughened cuticle skin and
bring new life and color into your
complexion. Finally, rinse with
water and be amazed how fresh
and glowing you'll look. After a
weeks faithful application, that
coarse, leathery feeling should dis
appear and your skin should look
and feel soft, smooth and right
with your fall clothes. The set is
new, helpful and painless to your
budget.
After your skin has resumed its
normal, happy outlook on life, you'll
probably want a good foundation

conceal fine lines and superficial
blemishes, to take hold and hang

Unless you have a very liberal
clothes allowance, advance planning
is vitally important in building a
wardrobe. Most smart girls choose
some basic color scheme, such as
black, or brown and green, and stick
to it for year or more.
Until they change that scheme
which can't be done on the spur of
the moment-they buy nothing that
won't fit in with the rest of their
wardrobe. BY following such a plan,
you can be sure that you will always
have the right accessories to go with
your dresses, without using up your
entire budget on shoes and gloves
and hats and handbags. You won't
find yourself with a perfectly good
winter coat which nevertheless looks
terrible over your best dresses. And
you'll be able to move from one sea-
son into another without facing a
sudden new clothes outlay that
makes your pocketbook-or your

And remember how important
proper fitting is in any garment. An
inexpensive dress or coat that fits
perfectly invariably looks better
and more costly-than an exclusive
number which fails to make smooth
contact with your torso in several
important places. If you or your
mother can do little adjusting and
altering, you'll find that you can
look well at surprisingly little ex-

Democracy Brought
To Britain by War,
Jan 5truther Says
English Author, Here,
Challenges Statement
Attributed to Kennedy

Democracy, far from being finished
in England, is in the process of be-
ing achieved, Jan Struther said in
an interview here last night in an
swer to a statement attributed to
Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy,
that Democracy is finished" in
England. The Ambassador later re-
pudiated the statement.
The English author, visiting in
this country, while her book, Mrs.
Miniver," is best seller, bases her
opinion on the same thing the Am
bassador supposedly founded his
conclusion on-what is happening to
England during the present war.
Where our difference lies, sup
pose" said Miss Struther, "is in our
definitions of democracy. There is
little doubt but that many of the
things some persons associate with
democracy in England are gone, pos
sibly forever. I hope it is forever
for most of those things-class dis
tinctions, great inequality of in
come, the wide gulf between private
and public educational systems.
