plans to limit himself to sitting
in" on the trial.

Bare legs are back again. Only
we hope this summer when you
bare them they are free from fuzz!
We also hope that If you aren't
a sun worshipper and can't tan
your legs you will wear a good leg
makeup. Another thing We hope
for is that if you are wearing open
toed sandals you'll think about tint
ing your toe-nails the same bright
color as your ingernails.
True, that's an awful lot to hope
for, but with the many preparations
on the market and with little nudge
from us as to where to get them
it should be very easy for you to have
neat-looking legs. This Is true
whether you wear hose or not dur
ing the summertime.
There's a new lotion depilatory
on the market that Is meeting with
lot of success. 1t is creamy, has
a pleasant odor, and may be used
with much ease to assure you of
those Well-groomed legs. You pat"
on the lotion. You do NOT rub it
on. Allow it to remain on a few
minutes then wipe a small area to

ing smooth by remembering to use
hand cream or lotion on them after
bathing. There is a new product on
the market that is made with a
special formula; it is quickly alb
sorbed and, If used faithfully, will
do much to restore youthful hand
beauty. This same product should
be used all year round on your
legs, ankles and knees to help
make them softer and smoother.
With all that buildup the next
step is leg makeup. This goes on
easily and smoothly and stays on
until you wash 1t off. Use enough
leg flm-about as much as the size
of a SO cent piece. Start at the in
step, smooth it on with the right
hand in long. overlapping strokes,
up and away from the foot. Blend
and apply leg makeup above the
knee. Use both hands to smooth
and blend the color evenly. After
it has dried, buff the leg makeup
with special buffer. This removes
any powdery surface, protects
clothes and leaves sheer" finish
The leg film comes in four fatter-
ing shades.

Dorothy Dix Says

know things about his weaknesses
and faults that no one else can
know, and she Is traitor to him If
she does not keep these secrets
locked in her own bosom, instead Of
broadcasting them to the world.
She should do this for her own
sake as well as for his, for a wife
writes the price tag on her husband.
The general public takes man at
his wife's valuation, and II she Is
always complaining about what a
poor business man he is and how
little energy and ambition he has,
she sends his stock down to zero;
while, on the contrary, if she boosts
him as a go-getter, he climbs into
the higher brackets.
Not every wife who Is disloyal to
her husband is motivated by malice.
Oftener she does 1t through sheer
dumbneSs. She does not realize that
when she calls peoples attention to
her husbands shortcomings she is
killing his chances of success, for no
one wants to tie up with a failure.
Or oftener still, it is because of the
morbid feminine desire to be pitied;
so she exaggerates her husbands
every foible until she turns it into a
crime that gets her the sympathy
she Graves. but that leaves her poor
hard-working husband with the
reputation of a Blue Beard.
Long ago Ebert Hubbard gave
this advice to a boy seeking job.
He said: IF you work for a man, in
Heavens name work for him! Speak
well of him and become part of
the institution he represents. Re-
member, an ounce OF loyalty Is
worth pound of cleverness."
That advise is just as good in the
home as it is in the business world
A wife should be a husbands best

failure.

let the lotion stay on q little longer.
To remove the lotion rinse the legs
with clear, warm water. Now your
legs are soft, smooth and ready for
you to apply your leg makeup.
OF course, If you are not inter-
ested in lotion depilatories you
might be interested in a honey
cream wax that removes hair from
your legs with very little effort. You
merely spread the wax thinly over
the area to be de-fuzzed, then press
a cloth or a towel over the cover
age and, without waiting, snap off
the cloth in the opposite direction
to which the hair grows or points.
The wax does not have to be heated
and is odorless. One of the reasons
why so many people like this type
of depilatory Is that 1t seems to re-
tard the growth of hair for quite
a period of time. Lovely sheer hose

Many women have a curious Idea
of what constitutes loyalty in a
wife. They think that as long as
they do not have affairs with other
men that they are being faithful to
their marriage VOWS and that they
have q perfect right to stab their
husbands in the back with their
tongues. So often does this hap
pen that 1t is matter of common
knowledge that whenever group Of
women gather together for a talk
fest, they pick their husbands to
pieces until their very bones are
bare.
Apparently it does not occur to
many wife that she owes any 10y
atty to the bread she eats. and that
as long as she lives with her hus-
band and accepts his support that
she should keep silent concerning
his faults and weaknesses. No
stranger should be permitted to look
behind the iron curtain that SHUTS
in a home until it is raised on the
divorce proceedings.
All wives know this and yet
nothing is more common than to
have not only your women friends
but women. whom you scarcely
know by sight, tell you intimate de-
tails of their family life that they
should be choked for ever revealing.
Not one of us but who has been
Mortified to hear a wife babble along
about her husbands business af-

"Jim Backus Show"

At least three of the characters
actor Jim Backus made famous
when he was ''stooging" for name
radio comedians will be used by him
when he debuts his new starring
program, THE Jim Backus Show"
over the Mutual network Sunday,
August 3, from $50 to 10 p. M, EDIT.
Jim's planning on presenting
Huburt Updyke, III, the richest
man in the world, Garry Hooper,
the inimitable western lover, and
Carlyle Bradford, the ultra-polished
sophisticate, in three comedy
sketches on his premiere program.
They are characters that Jim form
erly portrayed for such leading
radio comedians as Fred Allen, Ed
die Cantor, Jack Benny, Danny
Kaye and Alan Young. In addition
to these Jim is adding some new and
original characters for his first star
ring show-but he's reticient to dis
cuss them now. He has also sched-
uled a specially scripted comedy
monologue for his initial broadcast;
Jim and his wife, Henry, are
writing their own material for the
new show And many of their Hol-
lywood star-friends may find their
off-stage activities lampooned by
the comedian during the comedy
routines of the show. But their
friends have already indicated to
the Backuses that they'll love the
lampooning, for already Janet Blair,
Howard Duff and Esther Williams
have indicated they will be in the
studio audience for the premiere
broadcast of THE Jim Backus
Show"
