Mrs. Brooks were in the basement
washing when the telephone rang,
thus Betty answered it. Thurman
Brooks was told by Betty that his
brother couldn't answer the phone at
the moment, ~whereupon he became
insulting to Betty who hung up the
phone. Thurman puts on his coat and
comes over to the Delmar Brooks.
When he is let in by Betty he slaps
Betty accusing her Of deliberately
hanging up on him. Delmar steps in
to protect Betty whereupon a fight is
begun.

again, cutting him up side Of his head.
Two stitches had to be taken to close
the wound. Thurman claims the rea-

brother Delmar pulled a knife on him

Sunday night, February l, 1913, at
St. Johns church filled his congrega-

out any control, Man cannot live by
himself, and from Cod Almighty, and
that man must and will have a per-

with Cod.

be comfortable in the knowledge
that you will have a picture that Is
really at your best.
Because a photograph should al
ways have a ladylike appearance,
you'll want to carry out the natural,
feminine theme from start to finish.
From leading Photographic studio
comes the information that heavy
theatrical makeup is 'out." Instead,
necessary cosmetic accents such as
you use from day to day should be
high lighted q bit.
There are a few rules in preparing
for photographs that still hold true.
Don't go to the photographer with
your hair freshly set. 1t won't be as
natural looking as you always wear
it. Don't wear a lot of junk jewelry
Busy necklines are 'out." BY no
means wear anything that you will
feel the least uncomfortable in. That
feeling will probably be transmitted
to your facial expression. Result
a sad-looking picture.
If you are worried about the right
hair-do, this might help a bit. Twelve
leading beauty editors have just
come out with their ideal hair-do
for the 1948 girl graduate. All agreed
on certain basic points, with minor
variations. The first rule that
the girl graduate should observe
is that her hair is massaged, brushed
and shampooed. Her coiffure should
be simple. Preferably, her hair
should be fairly short. Teenas with
long hair should make an attempt
to comb It into neat arrangement.
Forehead interest is very good and
very attractive. This may be
achieved by bangs or forward
moving wave.
