Through constant experimentation,
Ruth built one of the finest women's

She came to Washington, to WMAL
as the stations director OF women's

women's department and the entire
task of creating one fell to Ruth.
Today her activities have expanded
to include WMAL-TV, where on

It is no pun to say that between
her five-a-week daytime broadcasts

.WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowman

Here come few tricks from the
great makeup artist, Eddie SEM,
concerning lip makeup. One OF his
biggest quarrels with the makeup Of
women is the perpetual sneer or
"kissable" look which they portray
by way Of lip rouge. This is com.
lpletely unnatural and most unattrac-
tive" he said. Besides, many
women make the mistake Of trying
to initiate their favorite movie star.
The makeup, in this case was de-
signed to emphasize the part ths
actress was playing and Is not fea-
sible or lovely in every day life."
Far from suggesting that you
should follow the natural line of
your lips, unless they are beautiful.
or that you should disregard tricks
In makeup to minimize faults In
contour, he suggests that you can
draw the line Of your hpstick In just
tiny bit when the lip Is too full
or exaggerate the line bit when
the lip is too thin. You only have
to experiment with this advice to
know how successful It can be In
improving your appearance.
He continued by telling me, that
by giving greater space between
the nose and the lips, you can make
. nose look shorter. Yet we See
women with very long noses going
haywire In desperate sort Of way
by painting great rosebuds or sneers
over their mouths. Mr.. SEM feels
that the highest point of lovely lips
should be kept within the space be-
tween the nostrils.
II you have not used a lip brush
you have not yet delved into magic
of lip makeup. This is so much
more effective than the clumsy lip
stick. Since most women makeup
their lips several times during an
evening, especially after eating, it
is good to know that many concerns
have q small lip brush In a case
which you can keep in your pocket
book. Anyway, once the line is set.
you can fill in with q lipstick when
you are away from home for day,
an afternoon or an evening.
Your lip rouge will stay on better
If you will powder over 1t, brush
the excess of, 80 back over your
lips, and then remove the excess
with tissue.

PIE CRUST?
PAINTING ON GLASS?

(FTom Mrs. q. v. NJ, ATltngt0n.J
I desire to submit the following
item for inclusion in the RCH col
umn.
I would very much like to know
If there is anything which can be
done to prevent pie crust from be-
coming soggy. I have always had
good luck with making pies and the
crust, when first made, is nice and
crisp. However, If the entire pie
isn't eaten the first day, the crust
becomes very soggy. This is espe-
cially true of a pie like lemon
meringue. Any advice will be great
ly appreciated.
I have another request to make
of RICH readers. I am interested in
trying my hand at painting on glass
plates, tumblers, bottles, etc-but
have had no luck in finding instruc-
tions as to the type Of paint to use
which will adhere to glass. I have
contacted several paint dealers in
Washington, but they could offer no
suggestions for this type of hobby.
I am sure there must be a'definite
process to follow and a particular
type of paint to use, so would very
much appreciate any leads in this
direction.

hearts and leaves are very tight

know to do. Can some one please
help me. I have repotted some of
the plants. Bought special soil for
them. Fed them plant tabs and also
some other plant food. I would
appreciate an early reply.

know is to purchase an aluminium

drainboard which fits directly over

money because OF their neat appear

linoleum.
