Beauty Banter
BY Betty Miles.

The line OF least resistance woos
most of us with all the fatal fasci-
nation Of the Lorelei. We'd like to
think that a good makeup founda-
ton could hide complexion defects
as effectively as the darkest corner
of the closet hides Aunt Titles
wedding gift. But it isn't as easy as
all that. According to the theory
Of one beauty house, lovely, healthy
skin comes from within, and is di-
rectly proportionate to the amount
and condition of the blood in your
skin. So of course nutrition is i'm
portant. But equally important is
the circulation of the blood SO that
skin cells may be nourished and the
skin may function properly as an
organ of elimination. This firms
answer is special oils. A program of
skin management entails a daily
stint of five minutes, and consists
of cleansing oil, an oil designed
to make the skin blush" and a To-
tion and base that serve as protec-
ton against natures blasts. Mois-
ture : resisting powder and rouge
complete the picture A kit. con-
tanning the complete array of oils,
makes grand desk kit" for career
gals.

the cheapest way OF doing this is
by bestowing kind words as you 60.
People are just as hungry for appre-
ciation as they are for bread and
they are more grateful for a compn-
ment than they are for a check.
But 1t Is within the home circle
that kind words have q chance to
do their great and perfect work.
They really decide the success or
failure of every marriage. No hus-
band turns philanderer as long as
his wife tells him how big and
strong and handsome he is and
murmurs ''how wonderful" when he
goes through his parlor tricks.
No wife but who is happy and
contented as long as her husband
keeps up the tactics of courtship
and continues to make love to her
and notice what she has on, and
who swears to her that she gets
more beautiful every day. 1t is the
silent, take-them-for-granted hus-
bands and wives and the fault find
ers who f1n the divorce courts.
So if you know a discouraged man
and woman who are getting the
hang-dog look, give them a pat on
the back and tell them how good
their work is, and watch the graft
tude that leaps into their eyes. II
you know boring man and woman
whom everybody avoids, or a WALL
flower girl, say something pleasant
to them that will buck up their
egos. Saving peoples happiness Is
just as meritorious deed as saw
ing their lives.
When kind words are so cheap
and buy so much happiness, why
should we be so stingy with them?
Evening star., 1944-09-15
Dorothy Dix Says

The dumbest of us know the value
OF kind words. We know that they
are the Dacifiers that will stop any
fight, domestic or global, before 1t
really gets going. We know that
they are first aid to happiness and
that we crave them more than any
thing else in the world. Yet we are
as stingy about handing them out
to others as If they were thousand
dollar bills that would leave US
broke II we gave them away.
Suppose, for instance, you long
for popularity, but nature didn't
turn you out spellbinder. How,
then, are you going to become per-
soma grata with all with whom you
come in contact? BY using a few
kind words. 1t is the one recipe
that never fails, for there isn't
single one Of us who doesn't seek
the society of those who butter us
up with flattery and tell us how
beautiful and witty and wonderful
we are.
Kind words do more to pave the
way to success than ability. Some
Of the cleverest men in the world
never get anywhere because they do
not know how to say the kindly lit
tie things that make people give
them q hand up. While thousands
upon thousands Of mediocre men
get to the top of the ladder because
they ask after our symptoms, and
tell us how pretty our daughter
looked at the ball, or beg us to
repeat that perfectly corking story.
Even the most hard boiled of us
have philanthropic impulses. We
would like to think we had scattered
few rays of sunshine along the
pathway of others. The easiest and

Hair-dos have a habit of growing
up in fall. We want our smart new
hats to compliment a coifIure that
is as smooth and sophisticated as
the creations themselves. So we re-
mind you again of a lacquer de-
signed to Danish incorrigible ends.
And here's good news-a lacquer ap-
plicator, one of those commodities
that have been as scarce as the pro-
verbal hens tooth of late, Is also
available. A glass bottle with a
swan shaped neck, and a rubber
"squeezer," it's amazingly simple to
handle Lacquer saturated pads
help buoy the constant vigilance
that is must in good grooming.
You can tote a few of these in a
compact affair and Danish stray
wisps in twinkling. :.
More thoughts on your crowning
glory! If your wave has the ornery
habit of begging down midway be-
tween sets, try a cream wave con-
ditioner that not only gives your
locks a new lease on life, but rebuilds
the hair itself as well. And II you're
still graphing with the aftermath Of
summer, try a reliable brilliantine
that makes your hair more amen
able, polishes up straw ends" and
lends that glow of glamour.

MEAT FOR TWO PEOPLE.
(Thanks to Miss c. c. Warrington }
Having read the Clearing House
faithfully for some time without
doing anything to help I want to
give the following hints on subjects
which have been asked for and for
which I have seen no answers.
Sprouting Beans: I follow the
method given me by . Chinese
friend which is much easier than
that suggested by some people.
The incest beans TO sprous are the
tiny green ones which may be OBJ
tained from almost any Chinese gro
Gerry. II I am in . hurry for the
sprouts I soak the beans for some
two or three hours and then spread
them on . coarse cloth which is laid
over . low wire frame or put into
an old grape basket and set over
water 10 that q bit of the cloth
hangs in the water and acts as q
wick to keep the whole thing moist.
The beans must not touch the
water. Fold the ends of the cloth
over the beans and set in q warm
place. I put mine on top OF the
water heater with q lid or q piece
of asbestos under the water pan to
keep the water from getting too
warm. It depends on the weather
as to how soon they will be ready.
Recently I have had them ready In
two and half days. Don't wait
for the leaves to show, The cloth
and sprouts may be lifted and
shaken gently and the seed coats
will nearly all drop off. The
sprouts may now be pulled in hand
fuls and washed to get rid of the few
remaining seed coats and then
placed IN JAR in the refrigerator
where they will keep at least two
days.
Enough Meat for Two People: Just
like the lady who asked this ques-
tion, We get two pounds of butter
a month SO it is easy to see that
we have only enough points to get
about one grade A steak. Having
lived In China have learned to
make a little meat 60 a long way.
1t Is really the meat flavor that we
crave for We get enough protein
from other foods If we use them
carefully. The meat flavor can be
obtained from curry, chop suey, chill
con carne and other similar dishes
served on rice. Liver and bacon
make a. nice change and so does a
stuffed heart. About every other
week We have chicken and a cool

sTORYTIME ROBE Just about
now mothers usually start looking
for nice, warm bathrobes for their
sprouts. Storytelling time Is often
chilly this time Of year and . warm
robe Is good insulation against colds.
Just to show you our hearts in the
right place, We went a-hunting for
you, and found some new all-wooI
flannel bathrobcs that are as good

aqua, gold and fireman red. For
sons or daughters-stzes to 6 and
Z to 16.
QUILTED CUTIE-Here's an
older version of the winsome
warmer. It's double-breasted
coachman-type housecoat made o!
q quilted cotton print-an all-over
pattern OF cloverlike little flowers
in the prettiest color combinations.
We especially like the delphinillm
blue on scarlet, but you can also
have scarlet on blue or blue on pink.
Take our word for it the robe does
nice things for a girls figure and
will substitute charm for chill any
cold winters morning.
X
PRETTY PRELUDE-Buying SIM
pie clothes Is always good fashion
policy, but when you have bit Of
census boosting in mind it's more
important than ever to choose 2
dress than can serve multitude Of
purposes Naturally your wardrobe
Is limited at such time and so each
dress should have possibilities un.
limited. Such a dress Is one we
have ear-marked for you-a simple
black rayon crepe with perky red
and white striped dickey filling in
the deep round neck1ine. OF course,
you can wear all kinds of dickeys-
or you can remove same and try
some fashion tricks. For example.
substitute bright ascot or a whoosh
bow of brilliant taffeta. For a party
at which you want to shine, pose
flowers at the decolletage or let your
favorite jeweled clips sparkle against
the black of the dress. We particu.
larly like the idea of filling in the
neckline with soft yelling In your
most becoming color for a lovely
film of flattery. For clinical de-
tails-the dress has camoufaging
front fullness, a belt that ties IN
back, covering on its way series
of side snaps to take care Of your
changing figure.

II you follow the directions recently

you can get backs and necks for

H E N D RlCKE N
 TOPS KINCSBURY STICK SHINES

Struggling all the way, despite the fact that their opponents were d. lowed but two safe hits, Hendricken grammar school won the American division baseball championship last evening at Hamilton Park by a score of 5 to 1 oyer Kingsbury. The latter team was handicapped py the absence of it's standout player, Paul Sumrna, who is in local hos pital, while the Hendricken team had to depend upon its second string pitcher, Jimmy Steck, when big Frank Tracy started with four walks" and was quickly shifted 70 Stocks position at shortstop before too much damage was done.
 Up And Down
 At that. Kingsbury scored three runs in the first inning, but Hen dricken had two of them back be- fore the third; tied the score in the fifth, but trailed again in the same inning when Kingsbury got another run, but won the game in the sixth with two runs. Hendricken opened the game with a home run by Hugh Ray; but Tracy walked two, hit an- other batter and forced in the tic ing run with a wild pitch. Steck and Tracy then changed positions as the former had his "hard" one working so well, that he allowed but two hits, struck out 12 Kingsbury batters and got two of the six Hem dricken hits when he came to bat. Lenny Margolis, Kingsbury number one pitcher was good, but not good enough, in the face of Stocks un- expected performance as a pitcher, when Tracy went bad. Ray, Hen- dricken first sacker looked like standout player of, the league this season; getting another hit besides his first inning homer. Brown and Evans were the only Kingsbury bat terS to hit Stocks pitching.
 The Hendricken victory brought 1t the American division title, and a league championship game with Slocum Monday afternoon, 4 D. m. at Hamilton Park. Summary:
