WHY GROW OLD?
Makeup Artist
Emphasizes Color
specially for one who is past

especially for one who is past
early youth.
Eddie had this to say;
Color is more flattering to
the mature woman than
black. She should select hues
that give her an emotional
lift, a feeling of well-being.
When you feel we'll, you look
we'll. A woman should learn
which colors do something
for her instead of relying on
seasonal color fads. She need
no longer rely on black to be
chic"
Country Cousin
In the past, one almost
felt like the country cousin
in town for the day when
attired in anything but a
simple little black number,
no matter if it did make the
skin look SalloW and the eyes
dull. Color can do marvellous
things for you. If you do not
believe it, buy a suit or dress
in a flattering shade, and
listen for the compliments.
In makeup, Eddie SEM
thinks that softness is vital
and notes that most older
women make mistakes with
either eyebrows or lipstick.

FAMOUS FABLES
By e. e. EDGAR

MISCALCULATION: The
antics of pitcher Dizzy Dean,
st. Louis Cardinals star,
turned many a hair gray in
the head of manager Frank
Frisch.
In 1884, the Cards were to
play the Detroit Tigers in
the World Series. Frisch's
main concern was to silence
the bat of Hank Greenberg,
the Tigers slugging first
baseman.
When Dean was to face
Greenberg for the first time,
Frisch left his position at
second base and went to the
mound.
Remember what I've been
telling you," he cautioned.
Don't feed him a chest high
pitch. He can hit it a mile"
To Dean. this was a chal-
lenge. He put his first pitch
exactly where he had been
told not to. Greenberg belted
it out of the park like a rifle
shot, just inches foul.
Dean meandered out to
second, where Frisch was
shaking with rage.
"You were wrong, frankie"
he drawled. He can hit 1t
