STOP BEING A RAGPTCKER

STOP BEING A RAGPICKER
If you are a ragpicker don't
blame the fellow who chooses
to pick the better things of
life - you get what you go
after. Don't whine and say
that everything is against you
but other people have good
luck. Face the facts for you,
yourself, are the arbiter of
your own fate. You give your
life its interest. You can
make it meager and starved
or large and splendid. Usual
ly people start out in life
with very much the same fac
ulties. Most Of them have
sight, hearing, feet, hands,
smell, etc. With these senses
they can do most of the things
they choose. The. limit of
what they shall achieve is
within their own compass. You
can hear almost any failure
say, I'm as good as. you are.
l have got as much sense as
you have" If so, prove it!

Dame Fashion Says
'Glamorizs Your Neck :
BY JUNE L'RHUE

NEW YCRK-When Milady
adorns her neck with one of
those cute little ties fashion has
decreed for the season, she is
definitely tuned in with glamor.
1t is hardly possible that at
any time previous has the femi-
nine neck been due for SO
much comeliness.
About 27 inches of velvet
silk, French silk or satin rib
bon. or NEST any other media
the imagination can conjure
artistically, appliqued with a
dash of pearls, .sequins, novelty
trim, what have you, and a
bewitching eoncoction comes
'out Of the hat"
Affixed to the neckline of
collared and uncollared blouseS,
gowns, frocks and dresses, the
magical little numbers do a
Transforming feat to the con-
Meeting part Of the anatomy,
regardless of age.
The young girl discovers the
ties beau-catching aspects do
the trick for that old blouse
that had been considered too
beat for her special date.
Mother acquires a new look of
chic If a tinselladen satin back
rasberry red tie of velvet, for
instance, is the "add-to" to
that dated gray "one-piecer"
about to make its fortieth round
to the club meeting.
And, grandma will start the
youth coursing through her
limbs all over again if her
mirror rewards her with a re-
Election of herself in cne of
the new look" in neck glamor
accessories.
The tie, like no other known
enhances save stoles, perhaps
gives Milady extra lease on
/ charm and femininity. And, like
the stole, which has enjoyed
continuous booking since its
temperance on the fashion
j scene three years ago, the tie
seems destined for the same
I popularity.

Accent On Joshion

Your Accessories
This week I should like to do shoul

do should be played up, your
evening purse should be keen,
maybe a piece Of jewelry pin
ned on it; evening shoes with
tiny jewels in them are also
smart. JeWelry worn above
the neck with a beaded or Sc
quined gown is positively nil.
Here are a few accessories
that are taking the lead this
season. The new sweater gloves
that go nice with suits and
sportclothes; fine washable pig
skin gloves for evening wear
The very shiek turban hat, cute
because it is so versatile. A
newcomer in the line of acces-
sories is the neckline filler, it
is made on the same order as
q baby's bib and it comes in
any type fabric and any color,
its nice 10 wear with jumpers,
sweaters, blazers and suits.

So, let US remember that Fa-
shion is not dressing to "get
by. 1t is dressing to sparkle
by, to go by so as to leave be-
hind a pleasant impression Of
perceived personality, sensed
and liked. 1t is no too diff
cult to make your wardrobe
such: in fact, if you yourself
fall in love with a fashion fad
it's a good fashion investment
to make. Remember that ac-
cessories are the little ones in
your wardrobe but they play
a strong role in its strength
ening.

NEW YORK (GlobaD-Noth-

BEAUTY 'HIN rs
COLORING THE HAIR
By NINA TEMPLE

Once upon time it was
considered a disgrace for a
woman to dye her hair when It
became grey. Nowadays feww
women think of allowing white
hair to spoil their lives by
marking them as old. Say what
you please, very few women OBJ
tain that distinguished look
that some women achieve with
white hair. Also, very dark bru-
nettes once never dreamed of
making their hair reddish or
placing a dash of color in their
forelock. Even this is now
known to be quite an achieve
ment and an enhancement to
beauty. Don't be old-fashioned.
Don't be fogey but help your
self TO whatever color you be-
lieye would augment your
beauty.

This week I should like to
spend some time with those
little things called accessories.
These little items can either
make you or break you because
they play such an important
role in everyday wearing ap-
parel.
Let us start with our evening
accessories and the mistakes we
often make in using them. Let
us take jewelry, which is a very
beautiful accessory in its
rightful place. However, very
often we see it out of place.
This is especially obvious when
worn with a gown which has
a beaded or Sequined bodice. A
gown OF this type needs very
little or no jewellery because
the gown is outstanding in it
self.

may repay part Of the cost of

may be applied for within two
