WOMAN,S REALM
GlOrfing Yourself

NEA Service Writer

NEA SerV1ce WrlgeE
 Miami Beach, Fla.-Prettiest girls I've seen at Miami Beach are those who are tanned a medium, golden honey-beige shade. The complexions of those who are very dark brown look slightly leathery.
 There's no depth and warmth in the color of the faces of girls who haven't stayed in the sun quite long enough.
 TOAST, NOT ROAST, YOUR COMPLEXION
 All of which makes us believe that there's real art in being able to know just how much sun ones skin can stand, how dark it should al- lowed to get.
 Whether you are coming south for some sunshine right now or whether you are resigned to waiting until next summer for suntan, you'll be interested to know that the smart girls use two different types of sum- burn preventive. One encourages tanning. The other prevents it. The first is used until the skin is just dark enough, the second to keep it from getting any browner and to keep it soft and unlined.
 AVOID BEACHCOMBER HAIR
 Hair that gets no protection from the sun day in and day out becomes streaked and straw-like. don't mind streaks-in fact, in blonde and light brown hair, rather like them but a straw-like texture just isn't lovely on anybody, anytime.
 Neither are unshaven legs lovely. Superflous hair is bad enough when it shows through sheer stockings. On the beach, it is dreadful.
 And, speaking of the beach, I wish I could figure out why it is that so many slender young things with lovely figures wear full-skirted dressmaker swim suits and so many overweight women, who should wear dressmaker suits, appear in skin- tight, one-piece maillots.

Beautiful Glass Garden
 From Old Jug or Bottle

A delightful mystery! Heliotrope with sweet clusters of tiny flowers graceful palms and ivy-striped pam danus-al growing merrily in a small-necked jug. Admiring friends ask How on earth did they get there?" .....-. Bottle terrariums are almost as simple to make as the more usual kind. Pour in some drainage ma terial, pebbles perhaps, and then add soil. Shake and tilt the bottle as you pour in each layer until it lies evenly. .,
 Your plants, of course, are put in when tiny. Dig little holes for them with toy spoon atttached to a stick. Then double long wire and hammer the ends to make pair of forceps. With these you manipu- late each little plant through the bottle neck and into it's hole as our diagram shows.
 Plants grow quickly in the damp warm air of a terrarium so you'll soon have lovely garden. You can nave IuIl, tOO, uldhIlS tell al iuiuo out of fishbowls-planting anything | from African violets to wildfowerS For care-only a spoonful of water now and then.
 Our 32-page booklet gives com | plete directions for making terrar- iums and dish gardens of all kinds including handicapped, gardenia, or enid terrariums. Tells how to grow window herb gardens. Send 10c in coin for your copy of GLASS GARDENS AND NOVELTY INDOOR GARDENS to Waterbury Democrat, Home Service, 635 Sixth Ave, New York, N Y Be sure to write plainly your NAME, AD- | DRESS, and the NAME of booklet.

u. S. Stenos TO
Aid In Job Drive

WASHINGTON. ID. c. CANPD
THE Outer Guard an organi=
zation composed OF Negro steno-
graphers and cce.a.ils already
employed by tie u. government
in Washington, IA, ,naugurated a
campaign designed to assist other
members of their profession in Sc
curing federal employment.
As the first step in it's drive,
the Outer Guard is compiling
list of competent Negro yteno-
giaphers throughout the country
who may be available for employ
ment in Washington. A three-day
registration was held recently in
the 18th Street Branch YMCA and
nearly 40 stenographers filled out
blanks there. During the same
period calls wee received by the
group for both temporary and per
manent assignments
Encouraged by its initial success.
the group this week appealed to
Negro Stenographers throughout
the country to place their names
on it's files for possible recon-
mendationS to job opening. Regi-
sration blanks have alredy been
prepared and the organization will
send one to any Negro stenoeraph-
er who requests it. Write Miss Be-
atrice Myers, secretary, The Outer
Guard, 560-23 place, N. E. Wash
ington. Requests should be ac-
companied by a stamped and ad-
dressed return envelope.
In announcing the campaign the
Outer Guard stressed the fact
that its survey is entirely unoffi-
cial and carried out as public
service. Although members of the
organization frequently have oppor-
tunities to recommend good Ne
gro stenographers for federal and
private employment, the group

Glamour, glory and admiration
all of us can obtain them for our
selves. 1t takes time. It takes ef-
fort. And it may cost us a bit OF
expense here and there. But all of
us who desire romance can have it
by clothing ourselves in cloaks Of
glamour, glory and admiration.
IT'S THRILLING
It's fun to be the center of at

folks are around. It's thrilling to
he admired! Whether or not there
are men-folks in the crowd about
uS! Those who write to me often
ask for a rule which they can fol-
low to gain these three elements
glamour, glory and admiration.
Here's my answer. I hope it helps
you:
Lovely, well-kept hair is the first
essential TO beauty and romance.
A. woman or girl who has lovely,
well-dressed hair will have richer
life. Why? Because others know
that if she has the patience and
desire to maintain her hair, she
most likely will have the other
qualities men. and women. too
want to find in the women
they enjoyed associating with.
I think my rule is a sound one.
For example. did you ever see a
woman who had given rainstaking
attention to the neatpess of her
hair wearing untidv clothes?. Or,
unconcerned about the appear
ance of her shoes? Or.--and this
may be a hombshell to some of
you readers careless regarding
