" HAT with the lavishment of
w prettifying, spick and span,
fresh as daisy frilly, frothy lace
trimmed neckwear and other lin
gerie touches with which fashion is
so generously endowing us this sea-
son, it's going to be more fun dress
ing up this spring and summer
than it has been for years.
When you visit the neckwear de-
partments, cancel all other engage
ments for that day, for come early
as you will you are sure to linger
unmindful of the passing of time,
with so much to intrigue.
Among the myriads of new ideas
sure to capture your fancy you will
see such cunning items as detach-
able pocket and collar sets as pic
tured below to the right in the illus
tration. The pockets are fashioned
of the daintiest organdy you ever
saw with infinitesimal tucks and ex-
quisitely embroidered and the col
lar has a youthful square neckline.
A set like this will work miracles
on the simplest basic dress. The
decorative pockets can be sewed
right on the dress, or slipped on to
belt or tie them on with perky
ribbons.
Another item that is going to lay
siege to your heart is a crisp, sheer
organdy plastron that covers the
entire front of your bodice just
like you see above to the left in
this group. 1t slips on like magic
and like magic it works wonders in
making the simplest dress look
very important all of a sudden.
Note it has organdy insets and
pert organdy bow at the back
waistline. Since it launders beauti-
fully you will have no trouble in
keeping it fresh and Immaculate.
There are times when one wants
to look very tailored. 1t is at such

Ever since the first breath of spring
has been in the air, l have been re
celving letters asking how to have a
clear smooth skin for spring and sum-
mer. What few of you seem to real
lze IS that beautiful skin starts from
Within You must get yourselves in
good physical condition if you hope to
glow with youth and beauty and
springtime freshness.
Get More Sleep and Exercise
The first step in getting ready for
spring and summer is to work out a
balanced routine of sleep, exercise and
diet. If you have been burning the
candle at both ends, you are probably
paying for it now with dull, lusterless
eyes and sallow skin. Remember that
eight hours sleep every night is more
effective than any beauty treatment.
And II you have difficulty getting to
sleep early, the solution is right at
hand. You probably need more out
door exercise that will leave you
pleasantly relaxed and BEAUTIFULLY
tired at the end of the day. A brisk
walk say to and from work, or, if you
are d laoy OF leisure, the early part
OF these sunny afternoons, is one of
The best forms of exercise for all
around reconditioning. Don't feel,
however, that you can give up your
special indoor exercises. Select the
ones that do you the most good accord
ing, to your individual requirements
and stick to them.
Eat Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
/, And watch your diet. Throughout
Che winter you have doubtless been
eating more than your quota of heavy
starch foods. Now that spring is here,
mere is an abundance of fresh fruits
ana vegetables on the market. Why
not try eating a spring salad for lunch
instead of sandwiches or meat and
potatoes? You'll find it Just as sus-
tanning and a great deal better for
your health. And be sure you have
a substantial helping of green vege-

Long Torso Lines
Making Big Talk

Test for the nipped-in wasp waist
effect is on the wane. Now it is the
long torso line that is making con-
versation. The newest dresses are
styled with long torso tops that go
fingertip-length, the skirt portion be-
ginning at that point. In suits it is
the long-jacket types that are COM
ing in.
Couturier collections in Paris are
featuring sleek suave lines desig-
mated as the new mermaid silhou-
cite. To be sure the faring skirt
and pleated-all-around skirts are not
out by any means. There is con-
test, however, between and it looks
as if the next move will be the
straighter contour.
Already corsetieres are answer
ing the challenge to designers of
foundation garments, with the pros
pect that there will be a decided
change in corsets and corselets.

More than ever fashion is placing
high-pressure emphasis on the fact
that well-groomed, becomingly
styled hair is an absolute essential.
The hair dress pictured lives up to
all the demands of perfect groom
ing that can be achieved only when
the hair is kept healthy and vibrant
with meticulous care. Which calls
to mind something amazing that re-
Gently happened in the realm of hair
culture. 1t is the creation of a wa
terless shampoo from the labora-
tory of Jean Jordeau A few drops
Of the shampoo (using no water
Whatsoever) will lather luxuriously
on the hair. After a vigorous scalp
massage, a rub with a coarse towel
will remove every speck of the
shampoo, leaving ones tresses ex-
quisitely clean and lustrous. In the
couture here pictured note that the
modified pompadour and hair at the
sides have an upward trend.

CONFESSION

All have sinned and come short of
the glory Of God and daily continues in
sin in a lesser or greater degree. The
Christian strives for perfection, he is
conscious of his sinful condition before
God-He admits his wrong-seeks
after his faults and continues to re-
pent; in remorse and regret he cries
for forgiveness and never finds con-
tcntmcnt until he reaches that height
of spiritual perfection in which he can
sin no more.
The sinner finds contentment in sin
-ofttimes calls wrong "right"-com-
promises with every type of evil
makes no confession carries no re-
morse strives not for repentance and
seeks no forgiveness.
1t takes a wise man to humble him
self low enough in order to gain suffi-
cicnt strength to say, "I'm sorry, I was
wrong" IT'S far better to be innocent
than penitent but it is far wiser for the
guilty to be penitent than be an obsti-
nate fool.
Men pay daily with their lives, their
success, their friends and step out from
Gods Green Pastures before they be-
come willing to admit defeat acknowl-
edge guilt or submit themselves to
those whom they have wronged. It is
no sin to make a mistake for God
Himself regretted that He destroyed
man in the days of Noah. The most
learned can miscalculate, the wisest can
misiudge, the strongest can become
weak and the most perfect can fall into
sin
The greatest sin is that in being
satisfied in sin and attempting to de
stroy truth, to compromise with every
evil condition so as to assure self
Justification. When you are wrong
and find out that you are wrong it is
far more honorable to submit to truth
than to seek to invent false doctrines
false cvaluation or to compromise with
evil for the purpose of self-justifca-
lion. The man who tries to present
himself as all-wise presents himself as
a fool; the man who tries to present
himself as perfect is destroyed in his
own imperfection; the man who tries
to present himself as all strong is de

tables for dinner, and few less pota-
toes and bread. And drink lots of
water-at least eight glasses daily.
Plenty of water will help purify your
entire system.
Select Makeup With Care
After you have taken care of these
fundamental rules, start on your skin.
AS I have told you so often before, it
is important that you cleanse your
face at least twice a day, either with
soap and warm water, or a good
cream, depending on the texture of
your skin. A good skin tonic which
has an astringent effect is a great help
in toning up the skin after cleansing.
If your skin is inclined to be dry, a
rich night cream is a boon in helping
smooth and soothe and in discouraging
tiny lines and wrinkles.
In selecting your makeup for
spring, choose shades that will not
only blend well with your natural
coloring but also with your new spring
wardrobe. Never buy cosmetics by the
hit-or-miss method. Weigh them all
carefully and don't buy until you are
satisfied that the shades you select
blend perfectly with your individual
skin tones. 1t may take little longer
but it is really fun and is well worth
the time.
l hope this answers the questions of
those of you who have been wondering
but haven't got around to writing me
personally. Follow these simple sug-
gestions, and here's to an exciting
spring and a glamorous summer.
