Beauty Hints
For Makeup

Do you realize that most
of your friends and associates
only see you in close-range
"cloSe-ups," asks a world
famed Hollywood beauty su-
thority, and that everymake-
up mistake can easilybe seen?
AS you converse, whether
you are sitting or standing.
you are usually about Q feet
away.
Therefore, avoid embarraSs-
ment or self-consciousness by
knowing your makeup is
f1awless. The only way this
is completely possible is
through the use of magni-
flying mirror, which makes it
possible to see yourself better
than your friends see you at
close-range.
With your mirrors greater
power. your eyebrow line and
your lipline may be perfectly
applied, your foundation and
eye makeup become f1awless.
and your rouge and eye
shadow appear naturally
beautiful.

Good Posture Mems
A Picture Pretty

Many women gain the i'm
preston from fashion pho
Biography that it is smart to
stand in a position similar to
q question mark. They do not
recognize the difference be-
tween an extreme pose and
posture. Yet, the top models
who pose for these pictures
have unexcelled posture.
STOPPED shoulders and
curved spines are not only
unatuaCtive but agins. Inly
can bring webs of lines into
otherwise youthful faces.
Always stand to your full
height. Imagine a straight
line from the top of your
head down to your feet and
line yourself up with it.

No Artificial Look
With Proper Care

Avoid a fiat, painted-on
artificial eyebrow look, says
a noted Hollywood makeup
authority, if it is true beauty
you are seeking.
First, brush away all pow
der from your browS. Then,
be sure your eyebrow pencil
is razor-Sharp. Sketch on
the color with short, hair
like strokes leaving the skin
showing here and there as
real eyebrows naturally do.
Next, brush all eyebrow
hairs into place without
fiattening them to the skin
by allowing them to stand
away from the face in a
natural way.
Keep the ends of the eye
brow arch-where there are
no hairs-lightly powdered
so the pencil will not look or
become greasy. However,
brush all stray powder from
the hairs as you retouch your
makeup during the day.

The silent South" mean
ing those moderates down

little criticism in recent
months for what has been

A glance at publishers
book lists for this year, how
ever, makes one wonder If
this criticism is altogether
justified. There are numer-
Gus books that show the Isl

but outspoken and prolific.
Three such books have been
written by Martin Luther

ENGAGED IN WRITING"

that disenchanted joiner, Ste
phen Spender. After years Of
diligent cultural convention
going, Mr.. Spender appears
to be Of the mind that these
encounters between East and
West over green baize tables
are intellectual shadow-box-
ing of the most futile sort.
His hero is a 50-year old
Englishman named Ohm AS
phalt who goes to the newest
conference of "Europlome,"
sure that in the wake Of the
Khrushchev revelations about
Stain, something, for once
will have to be said. But the
old phrases are mouthed, the
Soviets rationalize or remain
silent. and those coquettes Of
communism from the western
countries make their usual
sheeps-eyes. The only one
who benefits from the whole
fiasco is Congor Bottor, the
President Of the Hungarian
delegation, who in the canals
Of Venice. sees what he has
done for the tyrants as q man
and as q writer.
Mr.. Spender's satire is as

he is deriding. He has mas
tered the jargon Of the sterile
encounter so completely, one
has the uncomfortable feel
