Long Fortune served us wine of

When everywhere our idol met its
master
And plainly showed its feet to be Of

Still stood We faithful gainst the
gathered flood,
Still hoped our idols feet were not
Of plaster.
Still dreamt we of the ever-potent
blaster,
Still saw we summers promise in
springs bud.
Now as Orion sets, our sun is rising
Now as the days grow long our day
draws near.
Nor is our syncopating heart dis

The full conjunction of the smile

We doubt very much if the small
fry take their beauty grievance
seriously. There's nothing very
tragic about being a tabloid edi-
ton of woman; it has its advan-
tages, as teacher will proceed to
point out.
If the tiny woman retains the
slender figure, carries herself beau
tifully, she can wear youthful
clothes until she is 100 years old.
Always will she appear younger
than the biggie who takes on
weight and a spread amidships. A
slender figure with neat lines is as
splendid a beauty asset as a lovely
face; even more so, some artists
claim.

BODY EXPRESSES EMOTION
1t is surprising how closely relat-
ed posture is to our emotions and
spirits. Watch yourself or others
then spirits are low. The chest
tends downward and the body mUre
CT 'eSS hangs ltS7N on its frame.
But when we are buoyant and eX-
cited, the chest expands and lifts.
Our entire body expresser self
assertion, courage animation and
heartinesS. FCr this reason, we
can stimulate physica! and mental
Wel!-heing by an erect carriage.
This means much to a woman's
appearance these days when curves
are the vogue. Thank goodness, the
sophisticated slouch went out sev-
eral years ago.
I have always conterded that
sny woman, young Or old, can make
herself smart and attractive if she
will look to her carriage, to her
makeup, and to her hair. A good
carriage will make a slim woman
appear to fill out, and will serve
to streamline one who has a few
too many curves.
EASY TO ACCOMPLISH
Take either the slim or not-so-
slim woman with roiSe and vitality
in her carriage give her the right
kind of makeup, and you have
what the fashion experts call
woman chic. smart and stylish.
Both these things are so easy
to accomplish. One calls for a little
discipline CT the body. The other
calls for a little study of the right
sort of makeup, selection Of the
right powder, rouge, ETC., and
applying it correctly. Too light a
powder. too bright a rouge, the
wrong shade of lipstick, give an
unnatural effect. Proper selection
and careful application of makeup
are most important items in your
search for beauty.
