According to him there is only

should be filled in and then the
excess lipstick blotted off care

If it is designed to change the
general contour of the lips this
can be done by careful application.
The mouth can be made to appear
larger by applying lipstick slightly

appear smaller by keeping within
the natural line. Either or both
lips may be corrected in this way
to produce the desired effect. If

With Christmas in the air, most
homemakerS find themselves get
ting twice as much done as they
do on ordinary days. On top OF
the cleaning and the cooking and
the laundry. they manage tt
handle the Christmas shopping
the wrapping of gifts, the ad.
dressing of Christmas cards, the
making of Christmas delicacies-
and the entertaining of the chill
dren who are home on vacation
This extra energy comes because
they have zest and enthusiasm
and are imbued with the feeling
Of peace on earth, good will to
men.
This was brought clearly home
to me last year by a woman when
I shall call Mrs. Anderson.
She came to see me a few days
before Christmas, and told ne:
For a long time I've been want
ing to talk to you about making
plans to get into business. The
children are married, and I ought
to plan some kind of work out
side the home, whether a paid
job or volunteer activity. I have
kept putting it off because I just
didn't have the time. I have a
husband and a Six-room house
but not nearly the amount OF
work as when the children were
home. Still, there never seemed
to be time.
"But this Christmas I find out
that can make time for extra
things. Both children are here
with their husbands, and my hus-
bands sister and brother-in- law
and three grandchildren and -
Mrs. Anderson stopped and sat
up very Straight-"and believe it
or not, am less tired than when
it's just me and my husband! So
here I am to tell you that on
January 2 I'm starting to make
that entrance into the business
world"
think of Mrs. Anderson a good
deal when I hear women with
grown-up children postponing
any effort to build new life with
that old excuse: II haven't the
time" When Christmas comes, or
an emergency pops up which is a
challenge. they, create the time.
The same thing happens when
they select an activity to concen-
trate on, whether it be Job or
hobby. Their renewed interest
stimulates their energy, and they
have time for innumerable addi-
tlonal' chores which leave them
refreshed and not dragged out.
If you long for an interest. a
new activity in your life, but feel
you haven't the time, resolve

'WhyGrow
Old? -.
By Josephine lowmon

Here 1t is again! Lovely Christ
mas eve!
Maybe am in my second child
hood, but whatever it is, like it.
Christmas gets nicer every year.
Maybe that is because I have my
values better Strengthened out. It
is not question of the suspense
of waiting to see what gifts one
lis to receive tomorrow morning,
although. of course, that is fun,
too.
think the marvellous thing
about Christmas eve is that spirit
of good will, the feeling of friend
illness which pervades the at
mosphere. that magic something
which we seem unable to capture
in everyday living. Every one feels
more kindly toward every one else,
and even the hardest shelled in
dividualS give in somewhat to the
spirit Of the moment.
I know what you are thinking
because I, too, am a combination
of idealist and realist. had the
same thought. Yes. many people
who have been awful during the
year suddenly go soft around
Christmas time, like the little boy
and girl who are on their best be-
havior just before Santa Claus
comes. s..t
However. I do not think this is
all there is to 1t. No, there is a
real something in the air which
affects every one in every station
in life. Have you ever thought
what a bonus it is for those who
have been inhibited by hard luck,
by sensitiveness, by shyness. by a
bad time, to think suddenly that
something nice may happen to
them?
If it does not happen am sorry
but that moment of uplift, of ex-
hilaration, was still pure gain. I
know that were I completely alone
in the world and knew that no one
would remember me tomorrow
morning. would still 60 out this
evening and absorb the spirit Of
the hour and feel richer for it.
Christmas is hard for many peo.
pie because Of lack of money or
family losses but there is always
that impact Of the mass feeling Of
good will toward men which
should enrich every life.
I doubt that any one is reading
this in the last minute rush. but
If you are, drink in tonight's rari-
fled air even II you have to do so

right now that as soon as the

Secrets of His Business

ward this may be corrected by
shortening the width of the upper
lips and lengthening the line OF
the lower lip.
Because the eyebrows are very
prominent and expressive feature
OF the face. Hershey says women
should be very careful about
how they pluck them. Their
care or neglect can affect the en-
tire facial structure. To make the
nose seem shorter, the brows
should be plucked away from the
bridge. To make a nose look long
er the brows should be filled In
near the bridge. A line running
from the corner Of the nose to the
outer corner Of the eye and to the
brow line will strike the outer cor
ner Of the brow.
To Hershey. brushing is the
most important part of grooming
the brows. They should be
brushed upward and then
smoothed across the top with the
brush. This will reveal the stray
hairs that should be removed
above or below the line or on the
bridge Of the nose. The shap-
ing of eyebrows and the removal
OF excess hairs can effect almost
any desired illusion,
Generally, the most becoming
line OF the brows is the natural
one with only the correction re-
quired for careful and meticulous
grooming. If there are any thin
or vacant places in the brow, a
sharp eyebrow pencil can simu-
late the missing portion If used
with short, fine strokes. The brows
should then be brushed upward
again and smoothed across the
top.
The use of a very small amount
of a special cream with proper
ties that reflect light should be
confined to the area around the
corners OF the eyes, nose, and
mouth and lines of the forehead
in order to eliminate dark shadows
and make fine lines seem less ap-
parent. The highlight should be
applied with a small sable Hair
brush and carefully blended. Only
a very small amount of this cream
is necessary. The use of too much
can result in pasty appearance

Six ounces flour, 4 ounces

equals 3 to 4 tablespoons. Rub
butter into flour, then the
sugar, making a soft dough.
Press firmly into a square tin
until even (about "a inch thick)
and prick with fork. Bake 20
minutes in a slow oven.
Might I suggest that car
owners carry a paper bag in
their car and then when there
is trash to dispose Of, put it
in the bag instead of throw
ing it out on the street or on

look much nicer and neater if
we put trash in it's proper con-

choose a pattern that is rather
closely worked as it holds shape
better and silverware doesn't
catch in 1t so easily. Also a
more expensive thread pays off
in looks and durability. I hope
this helps some one.
