winter Skin
Helpful Measures
To Combat 1t
BY Patricia Lindsay

1t Is estimated that the majority
of American women suffer from dry
skin, or sensitive skin which chaps
easily during the colder months. This
Is caused partly by deficiency Of
vitamin D-the sun vitamin-and
perhaps from inadequate diets. The
eating of more fats and oils (unleSs
they be vitamin Z fish oils or ex-
tracts does not prevent the skin
from chapping.
Therefore, it is necessary to anoint
the skin, and I mean the skin of the
entire body, with certain oils or
creams or lotions to lubricate it and
prevent a roughness Recently some
specially mixed after-bath lotions
have made their appearance on cos
metic counters. These are especially
good to use while the skin is warm
and soft after a bath. One bottle
usually serves for many weeks.
Dry skin calls for richer face
creams during the winter. and for
a special under makeup cream or
lotion. 1t takes little experiment.
ing to find the formula just suited
for your skin texture Some faces
benefit from a good oiling, such as
heated olive oil once a week. This
should be applied sparingly at night
and washed off in the morning with
cold water and soap.
1t is also a fact that If a dry
scalp is kept fabricated with cor
rectlve tonic or ointment. the skin
on the face Is more easily kept in
condition.

To correct these conditions it takes

Manners
of the
Moment

There's no problem this year
about last-minute Christmas gifts.
Absolutely no problem, tell you!
In the first place you can't get
what you had planned to get in
the stores, anyhow, at this late date.
In the second place lot of things
have seemed too trivial to give in
a war year. That's probably why
you haven't shopped sooner. In the
third place, if you're as busy as
most people you probably haven't
had time to think much about what
to get for whom.
But, as I said before, It's no prob
lem. Buy War bonds and stamps.
There's one to suit every taste

There's quite fashion story told
ut the theater each week. Observers
know what's being worn in Wash
ington, whether women are buying
new clothes or wearing last years
wardrobes and how they feel about
"frills" in wartime. In many cases
they even know what's likely to be
q success in seasons to come. either
from the audience preference or
from some significant costuming on
the stage.
Like our own reporters, New York
fashionists are watching closely the
effect of costumes worn in the
theatrical world this season. Very
often these provide designers and
manufacturers with trends later re-
lected, in modified form, in the
clothes we wear.
For example, stylists jumped at
the Indian Legend number in the
Ice Follies as typical preview of
skating fashions. Helen Rose, who
costumed the show. repeatedly used
the full -skirted ballet skirt, bias cut
and trimmed with brilliant appli-
ques. Short breeches trimmed with
fringe also supplied an animation all
skaters desire.
Washington fashionists found the

believes in the future of the long
decorative scarf with simple, war
time frocks, and stylists point out
that forerunner of this mode is to
be seen In Act II of Daughter of the |

opened in the title role at the Met |

UNCLE RAYS CORNER
One of my assistants lately made

One Of my assistants lately made
q journey to Mexico City and when
she returned she said she had seen
a bullfght. She said it did not
bother her as much as she had ex-
pected, but added:
An American who was seated
near me tainted. I learned that he
lived in Chicago and that he worked
in 4 slaughterhouse."
A slaughterhouse is building
where animals are killed for mar
ket. 1t seems strange that person
who worked in such place would
faint at bullhght. Perhaps he
was worrying about the men in the
ring who were in danger Of being
hurt by an angry, charging bull.
Speaking Of one odd thing I may
as well make notes on . few others

year has the title, THAT None Shall

ooSo
The bidding was not particularly
exciting. but was typical Of the ex-
pert's unwillingness to let the enemy
steal even a part-score hand from
him. The play was a little more
eventful.
West opened the king of hearts
and continued with the queen. East
overlook the second heart with the
ace in order to return a spade,
South's king falling to Vests ace.
West returned spade, and South
obtained the lead and had to prepare
to win all but one of the remaining
tricks.
The big problem was which de-
fender had the diamond king. II
West had that vital card, q simple
lead toward dummy's queen would
solve South's problem. But South
reflected that West had already
showed up with the king and queen
Of hearts and the spade ace. Surely
II he held the diamond king as well,
he would have opened the bidding
instead Of passing originally. So
something which did not happen
during the bidding located the dia-
mond king for South.
Acting on this reasoning, South
drew two rounds of trumps, ruffed
dummy's last heart and played a
third round of spades-thus stripping
down to diamonds and trumps in
both hands. Then he led a low
diamond and finessed dummy's nine.
East had to win and return a dia-
mond away from his king, letting
dumny's queen win trick.

BY Ramon Coffmun Poinfs for Parents

The secret at last came out. but
in the meantime Irving enjoyed the
widespread talk about Knickerbocker
and the history. The fame of this
work soon spread abroad. and Sir
Walter Scott read it. In a letter
Scott said that he and his friends
were so much amused that their
"sides were sore with laughing"
Many famous writer's of humor
have had deep sorrow in their own
lives. In the years just before the
history was published. Irving had
suffered the loss of his father and
favorite sister, and of Matilda
Hoffman.
Matilda Hoffman was the young
woman he had planned to marry.
In his mind she was the most
charming person in the world. Her
death filled him with grief, and
instead of rising beyond it he kept
it heavily in his heart. During his
long life he remained bachelor.
If his mind turned to romance. he
thought of the girl who had died
"in the sweet beauty of her youth. I"
Yet Irving spoke little of his
sorrow to those he met in his travels
through life. His friends and
relatives found in him good nature
and kindness, and were happy to be
in his company.
Sailing to England, he spent years
there and on the continent of
Europe. Day after day he wrote in
his Sketch Book" and sent his
writings back to the United States.
The stories which now came from
Irving's pen were among the best of
his life. They included RIP van
Wrinkle" and ''The Legend of Sleepy
Hollow"
Millions of school pupils have read
