Wanting to get to the crilx of the
situation. We asked . girl we know
one not too long graduated from
the bobby sox brigade-what she
considered the biggest teen-age trou-
BILE. "Men!" she answered with
monosyllablic finality, and SO took
our breath away that we forgot to
tell her We meant What grooming

Inasmuch as the above is un-
doubtedly true (being Henry Aid

though, adolescents have many q
trouble that makes such a goal Diff
f1cult to achieve.
First and foremost is their skin,
which has a way of embarrassing
girls at the time In their lives at
which they're most self conscious
or could it be that they are sensitive
because Of their skin troubles. What
ever the difficulty, 1t Is most i'm

leads to an inferiority complex.

which always apes its elders, the

beauty. A daily workout with lather
will do wonders for any skin-and
especially the troubled one.
However, where there are definite
and stubborn skin disorders, further
treatment than soap and water are
indicated. One cosmetic expert has
specialized in preparations for such
adolescent skins-not heavy, gooey
creams, but gentle stun designed
especially for young faces. For
example, there's liquid facial soap
that's supposed to be super for
cleaning the skin, without having
the drying qualities of some soaps.
It does a fine job of removing
schoolroom CRIME and dirt-with
our apologies to the Board Of Edu-
cation. This experts routine for
adolescent skin disturbances is to
wash the face three times day with
the liquid facial soap, use an over
night medicated ointment and a
medicated protective lotion by day
as foundation for makeup. A spe-
cial consultant Is on duty in one Of
the stores to give advice on such
problems.

Then she may suggest light frothy
foundation to give her face a soft

time. She'll recommend the lightest
possible film of powder for your

make her feel pretty and deliciously

The Young Idea

Legend has II that when Calvin

should occur, the hllmorist specified

senting two illustrious deceased
sons. This Is the feature, We feel,

formerly the House chamber, proved

Dorothy Dix Says

You would think . man who had
been married to q shrew and q nag
ger would fly from the very pres
ence Of sharp-tongued woman,
and that the woman who had had a
tightwad husband would pass up the
man with a Yale lock on his pocket
book. But they don't. They marry
them. Statisticians tell us that
widows and widowers, whether grass
or sod, are more apt to marry rep
licas Of their first mates than any
one else.
Nor Is divorce in reality the solu-
ton of the unhappy marriage that
1t Is in theory. For, 9 times out of
10, when husbands and wives swap
partners, they find they have made
10 bad bargain, and that they have
only exchanged one set of faults
and peculiarities for another, and
that the new ones get on their
nerves and are just as hard to live
with as the old ones were. I once
heard woman who had had five
husbands say that If she had made
as much effort to get along with
her first husband as she did with
her last, she could have lived hap
PLY with No. / and saved herself
a lot of heartache and trouble and
gossip.
All of which boils down into say
ing that there is no ideal husband
or wife, and 1t Is a waste of time
and effort to go around shopping
for the non-existent creature. The
real secret of how to be happy
though married Is to be choosy
beforehand and make yourself sat
isfed afterward. For while it Is true
that sometimes a second marriage
Is happier than q first one, swapping
wedding rings is q CLANCY business
and most Of those who try 1t lose
out In the end.
Evening star., 1945-03-13

Apparently q mans search for IN
ideal wife is Is barren In results a.
Diogenes' hunt for an honest man.
At any rate, . higamist, who has
been Jailed for marrying nine times
without benefit from the divorce
court, excuses himself for having
exceeded even the Hollywood quota
in wives by saying that he was
looking for q happy home.
There is food for thought in this
domestic episode, for 1t brings up .
number Of matrimonial problems
that no one has had the wisdom to
solve. One is the value Of perse-
verance in marriage. If, when We
make a bad guess in selecting q
mate the first time, should we try,
try again, as the old adage adjures
us to do in other matters? Or
should we play safe and stay single?
Unfortunately there is no authen-
tic data on this matter and that is
what puts marriage in the extra
hazardous risk class. For chain
marriages do not seem to be any
more successful than first attempts.
Nor do their failures in having
gotten their hearts desires in a
wife or husband appear to tip men
and women OF on how to pick
them.
Evidently marriage Is one Of the
few things In life In which expe-
rience teaches nothing and in which
there are no experts. Neither age
nor suffering under q previous con-
dition Of servitude erects any red
light Of warning around the ALTA.
Grandpa makes just as foolish q
choice Of Q wife as his adolescent
grandson does, and the men and
women who are matrimonial repeat
ers use Just AZ little caution In Sc
lecting their new partners as they
did in taking on their old ones.
