Of which you are capable.
A CHILD born on this day
is generous to a fault, sometimes
neglecting personal and loved
ones needs in their rush to care
for others less fortunate. Affec-
tomato, considerable, unselfish,
vivacious to an amazing degree.
Every act is motivated by an
ambition that overrides obstacles
with ease. Religious training a
necessity.

Be Natural

Don't distort your features.
The new trend is for the natural
look. You will be more distinc-
tive if you tone down your
makeup. You can be glamorous
without being bizarre"
With Miss Helen Hiner as her
model, she show the girls
what she meant by OVERRIDING
makeup. Restraint is the word
she has for il. While the color
OF the lips should be accented.
they must not look painted.
Leave the outside outlining for
evening or photographs. never
FOR business.
No prospective employer will
be favorably impreSSSS!. with ar
tlficial lashes, nor conspicuous
rouge. He will not like the long
unconfined bob either.
Few Don'ts
Don't have too many curls
keep the natural head contour
IN mind and accent neatness but
don't ignore fashion. Small or
medium hats are more appropri-
ate. Don't wear overturned
large models and be careful
about veils-not too long.
The rule is 10 keep the ensem-
bic symmetrical. Hopping ends.
Jangling beads, extra high heels
and too fancy footwear are in
bad taste when presenting your
self 10 the business man.
Avoid conspicuous colors so
when you leave he will not re-
member you as the girl with the
red. white and blue coat.
A heavy cloud Of exotic per-
fume will leave him weak and
unable To think of you again.
You may use toilet water or any
Of the refreshing. clean colognes.
You will not need 10 be re-
minded 10 have sparkling clean
teeth and be sure 10 use a
mouthwash before any such con-
tact.
Don't accent the dark, suntan
effect. II you are tanned, use
moderately deep tone but leave
the Latin effects for the beach
or evening affairs.
Be Poised
Be sure 10 speak distinctly so
every word will be heard and
understood without repeating.
Don't snap your purse or play
with jewelry. Be composed but
cheerful. Don't fidget about.
Be seated in one movement.
Keep head high, chest up and
lower part of back against the
back of chair.
Remember the clean, natural.
well scrubbed look will give you
distinction and confidence in
yourself. Use your makeup but
know how TO put it on perfectly.
With all this and your ability TO
do your work you will be sure
of success.

a chorus of sixty-two students of
North Carolina College under the
direction of Samuel Hill of the De-
partment of Music. In the solo
parts of this ballade'the range and
volume TO Mr. Robeson's voice
were especially noticeable, and in
his Interpretation of the recitatives
there were evinced both the teen
nique and the sincerity of the
great actor.
The piano accompaniment for
this number, as for the others sung
by Mr.. Robson, was played by
Lawrence Brown. A distinguished
pianist, Mr.. Brown was once ac-
companist for Roland Hayes and
has been Mr.. Robeson's accompan-
ist since he began his career as a
concert singer some fifteen years

EIGHT BY SHAW, BY GOSH!

of Artie Shows most successful
sides on this label and offers them
to you in special album. The
numbers were made with severa
OF his recent bands prior to the
current aggregation which has
Oran Hot Lips Paige as a mem
ber. Titles are FRENESI, BEGIN
THE BEGUINE, STAR DUST,
BACK BAY SHUTTLE, DANCING
IN THE DARK, TRAFFIC JAM,
MOONGLOW and SERENADE &c
A SAVAGE.
Shaw's "Beguino" was the first
disc to bring him fame and it still
ranks as one of his best perfor-
nances. His "Fenesi' started the
popularity of that piece and intro
duced his new style band with the
big string section. There are no
vocals, and the performances rain
from the moody Dancing in the
Dark" to the boiling "Serenade. "
His clarinet gets plenty of play on
all eight sides. This is a fitting and
representative collection of the
music of one of the leading present
day hot bands.
Defense Jobs mean more money
in circulation, and more money
means more records being
bought today than at any time in
many years. The result is that the
companies are swamped with back
orders. Decca already has missed
releases for two weeks and Colum-
bia has missed one in an effort to
meet the demand. Accordingly,
