Dorothy Dix Says

Girls always are asking how they
can acquire personality. Heavens,
not even the Quiz Kids can answer
that question. It is one of the in
scrutable mysteries of life, and any
one who could even make a reason
ably good guess at solving 1T would
be sitting pretty on top of the world,
with multitudss singing paeans Of
gratitude at his feet.
All that we know on the subject
is that personality Is an attribute
that some people have and others
lack, and that those who possess it
can do and say things with impunity
for which other people, who did the
same thing, would be ostracized. It
is what makes one woman who tells
a naughty story sound just witty,
while the woman who repeats it
seems vulgar.
It is the intangible something
that draws us to perfect stranger
as to a long-lost brother and that
makes us allergic to some worthy
person whom we have known all of
our lives and who has never done us
anything but kindness. It is the
different touch that makes a book
great. 1t is what sets a million
voices singing a song. 1t is what
elects a politician to Office. 1t is
what makes us marry those We do.
Nothing is new. Everything has
been done and said a thousand
times. 1t is just the way we say

Bare Necessities

Fashions have never been barer,
with dresses practically sleeveless,
often backless, and playsuits reveal
ing many a midsection. Add to
that the legs that have been de-
hosed by the summer heat and un-
satisfactory stockings and you have
plenty of bare skin exposed Too
many women let their beautifying
efforts stop at their faces, forgetting
that these fashions are only as
young and lovely as the skin that
they bare. Thus, it's up to you to
make your skin as sleek as satin If
you'd get the most fattery out of
the new fashions.
We've heard good reports of a
creamy oil designed to smooth arms,
shoulders and backs-the midriff,
too, if that's necessary. And for
elbows, which are big problem to
8 women out of 10, there's a friction
wash reputed to repair the damages
Of neglect and roughening treat
ment. You simply mix the grains
with water to a creamy paste and
then rub vigorously over the dis
colored joints. Then pronto! the
smoothing, whitening action starts
you on the road to lovely, soft skin.
A good habit that pays off big
beauty dividends is to take q few
seconds after the daily warm bath
for rubbing the aforementioned To-
ton into the skin all over. We also
like the results of amounting with
emulsified oil before the daily ablu-
tions "a good trick summer and win
teri, letting the soap and water
wash away most of the goo, and
leaving just enough to protect and
prettify the skin.

ular of the leg-lure liquids which
girls like because 1t goes on so
easily and stays on so well. OF
course, If money isn't great OBJ
ject with you, you might get a good
stockinged effect, too, by using a
cake makeup in one Of the darker
shades. 1t is quick and easy to
apply if you use the same tech
nique as you do for liquid. e.,
apply with damp sponge or piece
of cotton using long smooth strokes
and blending with your f1ngertips.
When it comes to vacations, back
yard siestas and summer summing in

When summer activities constitute
the question before the board, small
fry know their way around. They
know what they like, what they
don't like, and why. At least, the
children Of grades 6 Alb Of the
TrueSdell School do, and we'd wager
their sentiments are city wide.
Wed like to tell you about a mimeo-
graphed bulletin on summer activi-
ties for children Of elementary
school age this class makes available
to parents, and also give you be-
hind -tbe-Scenes glance at the prep
arations involved.
It all started back in 1943, when
the children were discussing what
they'd do, come summer vacation
The discussion turned to things Of
interest to youngsters generally
and from there, it was no distance
at all to the idea that it would be
fun to compile bulletin on ideas
for Willing away the summer. Some
down-to-earth work followed-and
the first summer activities bulletin
was born.
We sat in on q session at the
TrueSdell School, which, tnciden-
tally, is the laboratory school for
Wilson Teachers College, and heard
the children exchange ideas on
what, precisely, would constitute the
pamphlet this year, and how 1t
would eventually look. Summer
Fun" won the deciding vote as the
title, which struck us as particularly
interesting, in view of the all-inclu-
sive scope of things to do that the
children chose to designate as fun.
The cover design had been selected,
stick men" illustrations had been
decided upon, and the subdivisions
necessary for complete coverage of
the situation had been all but dis
posed Of by the time this particular
session came to an end. And the
harnessed enthusiasm Of the chill
dren practically guaranteed the sue
cess OF their bulletin.
We felt this pamphlet would be
especially valuable to the not-so-
native Washingtonian, who wonders
just where to begin in an effort to
secure for her small fry the oppor-
tunity to see and do the things COM
patible with his particular per-

PAT 1t oh grease spots on wall with
small piece absorbent cotton thor

I used hat brush, as the powder
will not harm the brush. If the

peat the application of hot fuller's
earth over another day, or night. I
had perfect success, in a hall that
had been newly papered. But de-

having the powder hot, and in
leaving it on overnight. No trace
of the large spots on my paper can
be found now.
