there are q number Of we'll known
make-ups for the legs and we expect
to see quantities more appear on the
market before you can say isn't-it-
awful-about-the- hosiery shortage.
From Hollywood, for instance,
Max Factor issues a statement that
English women have already adopt
ed a leg makeup as necessity
and that the same thing soon will
be true here. He believes that with
the proper application you can
achieve the appearance of silk hose,
and that the correctly chosen color
can be applied in go seconds for
each leg.
Steps in this procedure are as
follows: Apply makeup with mois-
tened sponge and allow to dry for
a few seconds. Go over the entire
surface with a powder brush to give
smooth, even appearance. If you
want to be particularly tricky, use
an eyebrow pencil to draw seam
down the back and a square line
over the heels.
Needless to say, this great fuss and
furor has far reaching effects, both
good and bad. For one thing, ii
should boost the sale of those little
stocking feet" which are designed
to be worn when you 60 without
hose. No woman likes to feel the
sticky sole of shoe next to her
bare foot, so these should be the
answer Already a rush on them is
being felt, with several large stores
reporting that they are sold out
These gadgets are made of cotton
and, we assume. will be plentiful
Next, 1t should bring about decline
in the sale of toeless shoes, If our
calculations are correct. If we wear
these feet" they won't look par
ticularly well peering out from toe
less slippers. OF course, our idea
would be to make colored tips on the
feet" matching or contrasting
them with your ensemble. This is
our very own brainchild, and any
manufacturer who adopts it had
better split the profits with us.
Finally, you can expect to see the
beauty shops doing rushing busi-
ness on pedicures and the manufac-
turers of foot powders dashing out
to buy a new yacht or two. Both of
these things will be sheer necessities
and it's time. too.
All of which still makes us think
that the frenzy is slightly uncalled
for. If you insist upon stocking up,
(oopsD you can prevent hose rot
ting by laundering them frequently.
But frankly. We have an idea that it
will soon be considered somewhat
to wear silk hose, and
you'll be stuck with quantities Of
them that are no longer fashionable.
If stockings disappear, think
Of the money you'll save!

The much-talked-of peplum has
Influenced this smooth, sophisti-
Gated frock which We have designed
for women who like to wear the
newest of fashions. In Pattern No.
1445-B, the peplum appears as a
beta clever idea, as it is thus de-
tachable. The neckline features a
soft draped treatment, also typical
of the coming trends in autumn
fashions, and the sleeves are loose
and of three quarter length. In
every way this frock expresses lux
ury, yet it is easy for any one to
make. 1t is a frock you will be most
happy to have ready in your ward
robe when the first afternoon bridge
parties or teas of the new season
are planned.
1t would be hard to find smarter
style for an all-black dress, and the
low neckline would be perfect for a
string of pearls or pair of cleaning
jeweled clips. 1t Is also correct for
crepes, taffeta, velvet and light
weight bengaline.

Groom Your
Eyelashes
Properly
Use Correct Aids
And Give Them
Daily Care
By Patricia Lindsay

y Hb"eSH1 y
It is not too much to expect your
eyelashes to look thicker, longer and
more lush than they actually are,
and 1t Is ali done with one tiny
mirror and a few good eye aids.
The natural desire is to have long
lashes which curl upward. Such eye
beauty requires that you keep your
lashes adequately fabricated night
and day. You know that dry hair
does not hold a curl, neither will
dry lashes. A bit of special lash
oil or cream, or white vaseline will
help to keep the hair glossy. Lash
cream may be applied over your COL
oring to help counteract the drying
effect Of most mascaras. Any lubri-
cant should be brushed on with
clean brush from the roots to the
very tips.
Either liquid, cake or cream mas
cara may be used to make your
lashes look longer COR to drama
tie their actual length). The color
is applied with another clean brush
(your mascara brush must be
washed after each application.
Most women like to color only the
very tips and the outer ends Of the
lashes, but it is permissible to color
the entire length of the lash II you
wish. However, your brush must
have only a speck Of the coloring
on it as you work or you will dis
cover that the laShes stick together
unattractively. A narrow fine brush
which usually comes with tube
or cake Of coloring is better for
this purpose than a larger one.
A second clean, dry brush Is used
to whisk off any surplus makeup
from the lashes before bit Of lash
cream (for gloss) is applied.
Now your lashes are ready for the
curler which is shaped to fit the
upper eyelid. This little instrument
with its Scissor-like handle Is easy
to manipulate. You simply place it
over the lashes, press it tight and
hold 1t in place a minute or two.
When you release it your lashes are
curling upward just as you dreamed
they would!
OF course you can improvise on
this curling direction. For instance
if you wish only your outer lashes
to curl outward and upward Ito get
an Oriental effect you may curl
them that way. The only trick to
curling lashes is in keeping them
nicely fabricated. If your lashes are
dry, and you color them with mas
cara and then curl them you are
quite likely to have a pair OF kinky
eyes!
For extra-special eyelash CLAM
our when you want TO be a siren
you may df you have a steady hand
draw fine brown or black line close
to the roots of your upper lashes
before you curl them This makes
them appear to be twice as thici
as they are

.WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lovman


Although statistics seem to prove
that it is better to make Phi Beta
Kappa than to win a letter for ath-
letics, yet leading authorities are
agreed that mild exercise adds to
physical well-being.
What does exercise do for one be-
sides mold the figure to happy
proportions?
In the first place health is in
fuenced by the effort Of exercise on
the metabolism of the body. We
get, our pep for exercise from the
oxidation of food, especially from the
burning up of carbohydrates and
fats. Physical activity speeds up
metabolism.
Exercise also stimulates circulation
and leads to better body tone. 1t
relieves nervous tension and mental
fatigue.
1t is amazing, but true, that your
heart does enough work every "a
hours to lift a 10 to 15-ton weight
to height Of five or six feet. When
we think of this, we understand that
it is essential to keep our hearts in
the best possible condition. One
would think that this vital muscle
had enough labor without exercise.
However. moderate exercise helps
keep the heart in top condition.
Individuals differ in the amount
Of physical exercise they should
take. Use this rule. Stop long be-
fore you reach the point of ex-
treme fatigue.
The following exercise will fiatten
the abdomen:
Lie on the floor on your back.
Bend the knees and place the feet
on the floor. Raise the hips from
the floor so the body weight is sup
ported by the shoulders and the
feet. While in this position, con-
tract the muscles of the tummy and
back hips. Hold for a few seconds.
Release. Contract and hold. Re-
lease.

Frequent Cause of
Poor Posture

Poor posture, according to beauty
authorities, is As detrimental to
good looks as carelessly applied
makeup. They point out that culti-
waiting good posture is a 24-hour "a
day job, for sleeping on a bed
which let's the body slump and fall
into ugly lines can undo the results
Of long hours of posture training.
Sleeping posture depends not upon
the will Of the sleeper, but upon the
construction of the mattress and
bedspring. The right kind of sleep
ing equipment not only maintains
good posture, but gives the rest that
muscles and nerves need to make
correct daytime posture possible.

You can make a cocoa sponge

4 cup of the flour called for
with 4 cup of cocoa. Blend
the cocoa with the flour and
mix the cake the usual way.
Sometimes the handles on sill

COAL STRIKE BROUGHT
TO AN END SATURDAY

Washington. - The captive coal
mine strike was ended Saturday
in an agreement that it's issue be
submitted to arbitration with both
sides bound in advance to accept
the results.
At the continued entreaty of
President Roosevelt, the policy
committee of the United Mine
Workers of America voted un-
animously to send its men back
into the pits on these terms at
once. John L. Lewis, the unions
president, said the decision was
made Gin the public interest"
In the immediate aftermath of
yesterdays agreement, it appeared
that Congress would go ahead
with such legislation. Chairman
Norton (D), N. j., of the House
labor committee, conferred dur
ing the afternoon with President
Roosevelt and said later he was
of the opinion that course should
be followed. Highly placed House
members said, too, that anti
strike legislation would be en-
acted regardless of yesterdays de-
velopments.
