sometimes covers the entire skin

touching will be required until time
to start home-if then.
The first rule Is that makeup
should never be applied In hurry.
This Is true in the daytime. and
twice as true when you step out in
your loveliest evening gown. Have
your scented bath. apply your ia
vorite after-bath preparation. and
spray on 2 little Of your lovelieSt

makeup. It's important for you to
relax when you do this.
Make-U Up Lasts
You should already know your
good and bad features and the
makeup tricks that bring them
into harmony-the subtle accents
that light up your whole face and
make it dramatic. OF course. you
know your skin should be perfectly
clean, freshened and softened by
preliminary treatment. Over this
goes your foundation. Your skin
may be sufficiently clear and youth
fully moist to hold light makeup
during the day without this extra
help, but for . lasting makeup at
night. q foundation Is q must.
II your skin is normally dry and
flaky. the foundation should be
creamy. easy to blend, tinted and
with enough covering power to soft
en- or partially conceal skin irregu-
larities like freckles or minor blemi-
ishes. Make tiny dots Of the cream
over the entire face, dampen finger
tips by dipping into cold water or
skin tonic and blend dots together
into a thin, even Aim so your pow
der will not cake.
For the partly-oily skin q light
textured liquid cream or vanishing
cream Is more satisfactory, and for
the very oily tinted powder lotion.
Powder lotion Is always more sat-
isfactory for neck, shoulders and
arms. It conceals any sallowness
and at the same time gives the skin
naturally smooth. clear look.
Moreover. 1t is less likely to rub OF
on your dancing partners coat.
Matched to Gown

depends on the shade Of your gown.

Skin tests made with q wide

This search Is much like hunting

Blacksmith Can't
See Comeback
For Horse
BY TALBOT LAKE

WITH the rubber shortage and
w the rationing Of tires. 1t looks a
tribe bleak for autoiStS. In city
like New York, one wonders II peo-
pie are going back to the horse. Ac-
cording to John Lehman and his
partner. John Baldasty. the horse
will not come back. The two Johns
ought to know, for they are black
smiths. a rarity in the city. They
boast of being the only horseshoers
in the phone book.
They chew tobacco. spit around
their shop and wait for horses to
come in to be Shod. Lehman does
the skillful work at the forge. while
Baldasty does the shoeing. which
must be done delicately lest the
horses hoof be hurt.
II the partners get q couple Of
horses a day. they are doing okay.
The only horses you see dragging
wagons around the town are haul
ing small Junk wagons. hucksters'
carts and occasionally a milk
wagon. In the modern hustle and
hustle Of big city. q horse Is good
for very short hauls. where gears
would have to be shifted frequently
in one city block. Even at that,
there are special trucks in which
the driver can stand up, which re-
place the horse-drawn vehicles.
Said Mr.. Lehman. six feet three
and thin as thin. will the horse
come back because of the war?
Everybody asks us that. Well. We
haven't seen it,"
And so what will be used for
tires? That recalls yarn Wild
eyed inventor once told us of man
who had invented spring steel tire
of a special construction. that rode
more easily than rubber, wore prac-
tically forever. couldn't puncture,
didn't skid or blowout. or anything.
Besides. 1t was supposed to be
cheaper than q rubber tire. The in
ventor of this boon to mankind was
forced by trickery. it was said, TO
sell this invention to a tire COM
pany, which buried 1t so as not to
disrupt the tire business.
Wouldn't this be dandy time to
exhume this invention III such
there be? We doubt 1t. for rubber is
scarce in other countries. too. like
Japan and Germany. Rubber sub
stitutes are costly and difficult to
make. II they could have turned out
something cheap and easy in spring
steel tires. they would have been
forthcoming long ago.
We wouldn't be too sure about
blacksmith Lehmann's prediction.
Maybe the horse will come back q
little way. A friend Of ours bought a
team for his farm recently. in pref
erence to a tractor. Maybe we will
all go walking again. and not on
rubber heels.
