cheers from the majority of the

HOw DO You Look?
BY BESSIE F. BELL

For your first suit Of the sea-
son it is always best to select one
on the conservative side. There
will be time to try out the fads
later in the season.
SOMETHING OLD, YET EVER
NEW-An all navy costume, ac-
cessories included. A very strik-
ing and new effect can be
achieved by combining the new
est of colors, BAMBOO, and navy,
AMI later with your white suit
or topper.
When trying on a new hat,
stand, as well as sit, in front Of
a triple mirror. If you already
have your dress or suit, it is a
wise move to take the dress or
suit or coat with you and slip
into it and know just how well
they will team up before you
leave the store.
A BIT OF sPIcE-For your
navy blue suit or dress, make a
pair of gloves and scarf of navy
and white-striped taffeta. This
scarf can even be used about the
crown of either a white or navy
blue hat as scarf.

cleansed, soup, milk, water and
gruels, being the chief intake. Try
this simple formula, and watch
your complexion grow fair and
your cheeks glow.
VIXEN USING PERFUME
When using perfume there is
one very important point to re-
member-it is this: always re-
move every trace of odor that
may linger about you. This is
best accomplished by a thorough
bath and II necessary the use Of
mum. Then when you are perfect
ly fresh and free from all odor,
spray perfume behind the ears,
especially, and about your body
here and there. The result will be
gratifying.

HOLDING FRIENDS

One of the best way to lose Q
friend is by winning an argu-
ment Many a person has won his
point only to find that he had
lost a friend by winning It. Learn
to give way--allow the other fell
to shine-to win--or seem to. He
will like you better, for few
people can lose and keep their
temper. IF you want to learn,
learn to lose an argument"
UNION
The world moves on toward
union. Notwithstanding the war;
ious clashes and feuds. there is a
growing sense Of oneness between
men. 1t is seen very clearly and
markedly in the field Of sports.
Seems strange that athletes
should lead the way to a better
world and not churchmen--or,
shall we say, Christians, or even,
artists, who are usually without
bias. Let us hope, let us dream,
let us march forward with conf
dence, for, o9a truth, Union is
gradually replacing antagcnism." "

1t often happens that the ex-

er than those parts that are kept
covered. If you wish to make
your face and neck and hands as
fair as your hidden skin, just
use the following simple mixture
each night: One half Of a squeez-
ed lemon in half the same guam
tity of milk. First wash the parts

A BRAN BATH

Next to the turkish bath comes

bath and follow it with a good,
brisk, rub down with wet bran
and note the amount Of discolor-
alton that 1t shows on the cloth.
The bran goes deep into the pores
Of the skin and gives 1t a good
scrubbing, waking up the blood
and sending 1t looming through
the fine capilarris under the skin
surface. Give yourself real
treat. Try the bran bath.
