BRITISH REVERSAL “MYSTIFIES FRENCH Revengeful Attitude at Ver- e Sailles Compared With Present Position. car ® BY ANDRE TARDIEU. By Calle to The Star. PARIS, November 17.—However much the allies may differ on techni- cal matters, such as Germany's capa ity to pay re; tions, it scems in- credible that they should differ on she -questions of Hohenzollern re-i sponsibility for the war and the nacessity for disarming Germany.!

In the matter of disarmament, it was Lloyd George who, in the coun- ¢il of tén, on January 29, 1819, pro- tested energetically against what he called the softne: of the armistice terms and the deliberate’ slowness of the German demobilization.

It is not 2 question of technical application —upon which experts may differ—as the reparations matter. It s a case involving the essentlal principles upon which Great Britain and Amer- ica fought the war and won the vic- tory. Lax From Start., To tell the truth, if this decisive ropudiation comes about it will no be without precedent. On February 3, 1920, at the request of Premier Lloyd George, the allies abandoned the demand for former Emperor Wil- helm, and turned over to the Leipzig court the cases of minor criminals, who have been judged in a manner of which everybody knows. A month later they let the date for Germany's complete” disarmament pass without comment.

The peace treaty (part 8, penalties) contradicts Chancellor Stresemann’s assertion that this is a purely German of Hohenzollern Rival’s Power. affair.

JEANNETTE I have been asked many times about when to use certain tones of powder and rouge together. Though there are always exceptions the following rules are safe to observe: Pink-White and Creamy Skins The “pink” blonde, certain “bronze- haired” women, and the brown-haired, blue-eyed woren with pink flesh tones can wear to advantage Flesh or Naturelle Powder at night—and in most cases use Naturelle. The Medium shade of Pom- ian Bloom is used. The ideal Spanish type has the creamy skin that has been llikened to “magnolia blossoms.™ The Naturelle or Rachel shades of Pom- peian Beauty Powder— with medium rouge — give the desired effect with this type of skin. The Olive Types Gray eyes, hazel eyes, green eves, o blue eyes accompany a light olive skin. It is a skin that may be very “neutral” looking, or may have the greatest vivacity of all. In the daytime this type should use the Naturelle shade of Pompeian Beauty Powder. Some of these women can use the Rachel shade; all of them require Rouge. The new Orange tint is the most effective for them. The woman is fortunate who with the dark olive tone of her skin hus a tery clear skin. Rachel Powder was especially made for her. She may have a lot of “gold” color in her skin. If she has she will find that Pompeian Orange Bloom brings out a warmth and glow that no other tone wi But if she has the more definitely “olive tone she should use the Dark shade of Pompeian Bloom. The White Skin Certain auburn or red-haired women, some ash blondes, and raven-black-haired women generally have the white skin that is almost opaque in its whiteness. Such skins look well with the White shade of Pompeian Beauty Powder. It should be used with delicacy in-the day- time—but as lavishly as desired for evening. The blonde and red-haired women should use with this powder the Light shade of Pompeian Bloom, placing it as nearly as possible in the manner of na- tural coloring.
