WOMAN’S PAGE. Effective Color Combinations.

And there are doubtless quite uscful to persons now endowed with a naturai eye for color harmonies.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS Rainbow Complexions. ‘Theoretically, members of the white race have white skins, but as a mat- ter of fact there are no snowy com- plexions (among healthy persons) out- side the imaginations of poets and lovers. The fairest skin has a creamy tint with pink accents and vin!o(l shadows. Medium complexions are a mixture of tints, including cream,. yel- low ochre, dull pink and a neutral, shadowy hue that the painter obtains by mixing emerald green and rose madder. Dark skins contain more yellow ochre, a deeper, rusty jink and| olive green shadows. am not very much perturbed, | therefore, when one of my correspond- ents writes me that her nose is oily and pink and that there are red, yellow and blue spots on her face and dark circles underneath her eyes and that her neck is very yellow. Such a color scheme is not unusual, and it becomes objectionable only when the color contrasts become too marked. It is not difficult to transform such a rainbow complexion into what will pass for a fair skin if one will give | LEEDS. the right local treatments and will also take trouble to remedy the in- ternal conditions that are at the root of the trouble. Take the oily pink nose, for exam- ple. It is a symptom of a poor circu- lation, and in most cases of unwise diet, too. The person who is thus afflicted should take br exercises every day and a stimulating bath in the mornings. Beside this, she should bring her weight up to normal if she is underweight and should include more fresh fruit and vegetables in her menus, together with the proper amount of protein, fats, starches and sugar. Usually the red-nosed person subsists on a poorly balanced: diet. As an external trectment for this condition, the following simple lotion may be patted on at bedtime and again in the morning before the face powder is applied: One ounce glyce- rin, three ounces elderflower water, one pinch borax, half dram tincture bonzoin and two ounces rosewater. Discoloration of the skin under the eves may be due to any one of a num- ber of difficult causes. Anything that depresses the general health is likely to register on the face. Lack of suffi. cient sleep and fresh air is a common cause of dark circles under the eyes, Functional disorders are another. Eyestrain, wi and underweight may also contribute to the appearance of this blemish. Whatever the cause, it must be removed and a mild bleach. ing cream must be used on the lower lid to restore its normal color, It is natural for the neck to be a shade or two darker than the face, but it should not be allowed to become noticeably yellow. After it has been | cleansed at bedtime, it may be mas- saged with a bleaching lotion. After the massage, bathe the neck alter- h hot and cold water to he circulation and bring a healthy glow to the skin. (Copyright, 1927.) | The Woman of Fort BY CLYDE CALLISTER. One of the most remarkable accom- plishments of women of 45 was the discovery of Christian Science by Mary Baker G. Eddy at that age in 1866. Here is an interesting description of Mme. Du Barry at the age of 45. It was written by the celebrated French portrait painter, Mme. Lebrun, after she had painted a portrait of this once dazzling beauty: “I was,” she says, “extremely curi- ous to see this woman, of whom I had heard so much. She must have been | about 45 years old at this time. She | was large, but not excessively go, and | inclined to stoutness. Her form wa extremely beautiful. Her face w still charming, her features regular and pleasing. Her chestnut hair was curled in ringlets, like a child’s, Her complexion had begun to fade; her expression was coquettish; her elon- gated eves were never quite open, and her speech had an infantile accept little in harmony with her ag Mme. Lebrun painted three port ©f the once royal favorite.

There is probably nothing better for the skin than buttermilk, for it i cleansing, softening and whitening, while it nourishes the skin as well. ‘These properties were found out thou sands of years ago, for we read that Poppelia, the beautiful wife of Nero, | possessed a_dazzling complexion, and | she never traveled anywhere unless accompanied by a herd of goats that were especially raised for this pur- pose. But the modern woman is not apt to bathe in milk, as Poppela must have done, or perhaps not eveh apt to wash her face in it daily with milk at its present price. She may, how ever, obtain exactly the same effect hy taking half a cupful of milk or buttermilk, wetting a fair sized piece of absorbent cotton in it, and patting this all over her face and neck.

Du Barry wore white satin and stood leaning against a pedestal, holding a crown, and the third was a decollete bust. “Her hair was drawn back from her forehead and ornamented with a wreath of flowers. A garland of roses encircled her bare shoulders with beautiful effect.”” Says one who has seen this portrait: “It is a dazzling incarnation of beauty itself, but a beauty about to fade—the representa tion of Summer, almost Autumn, in the setting of Spring.” Here is a description of George Sliot, the English ,novelist, at the same age. She really was 45, though the observer says: “She is a woman of 40, of large frame and fair Saxon coloring.

OUR CI'IILDREN By Angelo Patri Sincerity. My dear boys and girls of the junior high school years, I want to give you a touchstone to carry in your pocket. It is one of those old white stones which, if you remember to touch in times of stress, will carry you over the hard places with honor. One would so wish to live and work and finally pass on with honor. So I would give you this touchstone. Long ago an old teacher handed it to me done up in a little story. I have treasured it ever since, growing fonder of it as the years go by. When- ever I have forgotten to touch it, whenever 1 have gone without the charm of its secret, I have found my- self without the power to do work well and in honor. It seems one must ever go about his business holding the little white stone in his hand. But I will tell you about the first time I heard of it. We were a crowd of heqlthly little lads in the seventh year. We liked very much to play ball on the vacant lot at the corner. It was understood that if we did not have our lessons done well we must remain in school until they were as good as the teacher thought they ought to be. One week end we had a composition | to write at home. The big game with the rival team fell on the same time, There was a lot of practice to be done, balls to be obtained somehow. The pitcher and the catcher had saved enough to buy two balls almost, and it would take all their time Friday afternoon and Satur morning to earn the rest. There was little time to write that composition when you think of all that and of the church attendance on Sunday and the chores for home in between times. A couple of us made up a slim story and wrote it for the composition for Monday. We wrote it 11 times in dif- ferent handwriting and with slight changes in the wording. You see, we were too young to know that the wise old teacher would know at once that we had cheated. Well supplied with neatly written papers, the team went to school on Monday. Monday afternoon, right after the noon recess, the teacher said, without preface or introduction of any kind: “The Greeks were a great, a noble people. They left the world a stand- ard of beauty, a standard of work, that has never been equaled by any other people. They used to buy beau- tiful statues as well as make them, and they bought only what was per- fect and most beautiful. There were poor workmen then as now, and their tools slipped once in a while. They used a cheap stone, perhaps. Little scars and tiny holes appeared in the finished statue. Instead of using care, instead of taking the pain of true workmanship upon themselves, they filled in the little imperfections with wax and sold the statues as perfect. Of course, by and by the wax melted, and the cheat, the poor bit of work, was disclosed. By and by statues that were offered for sale carried this note: ‘Sans cere,’ meaning without wax. Our word “sincere” is that old label. Work done in sincerity is noble work. ‘Work that is waxed i3 a lie and a dis- grace, a shame upon him who did it. You can take these compositions now and do what you like with them. Be- fore you go home, see if you can write one in sincerity.” Ever since that time 11 boys have carried that white stone in their pockets. I'm offering it to you today.

The first thing a person of ordinary intelligence ought to know about health, according to an outline sug- gested by Dr. Livingston Farrand, president of Cornell University, is the physiological basis for sound health. That's what I've been trying to tell you. Dr. Farrand presented his out- line in 10 items, and in item No. 8 he said the ordinary person should appre- ciate the necessity for frequent medi- cal and dental examination, and in item No. 9 he said the ordinary indi- vidual should have an intelligent basis for choosing wisely his medical and dental advisers. These. two allusions to denistry are the only reference to the teeth in Dr. Farrand't outline (I printed the full outline here October 11, 1926). They are enough to remind us that the con- servation of the teeth is a factor of considerable importance in the mainte- nance of health, and, further, that modern dentistry is one of the essen- tial fields of the art of medicine, and modern practitioners in this field are qualified members of a learned profes- sion. Indeed, the schooling of the dentist is now the same in all the fundamental subjects as the schooling of the physician, and if educational affairs were rightly conducted we should have mo dental schools, but medical schools, with proper post-graduate institutions where those medical graduates who might elect the practice of dentistry could receive the ~ necessary additional technical training for that special field of prac- tice. But this logical development is yet to come, and meanwhile the den- tists are in the somewhat anomalous position of being in the medical pro- fession yet not of it. I hope this view of the situation is expressed clearly enough to preclude any suggestion that I lack respect for the profession of dentistry. I regard the modern dentist as professionally on the plane with the physiclan, and I believe it would be mutually advan- tageous for dentistry and medicine to mingle in one fellowship. One dentist critic of my teachings in reference to the saving of the teeth from decay is glad to note that I be- lieve the toothbrush ‘“does no harm as a rule,” and he would add that it does an immense amount of good in disturbing bacterial masses and stim- ulating the flow of blood to the gums when the brush is properly applied as instructed by a competent dentist. This sounds reasonable enough. In I have always maintained that the application of a toothbrush and of any dentifrice or medicament 1 should be left entirely to the advice of the individual's dentist in every in- stance, Personally, one of the reasons why I long ago ceased brushing my teeth is that I rather shuddered at the con- sequences of disturbing bacterial masses. I felt about that as did the doctor on the train—he declined to be brushed because he didn’t like to stir up the germs that way, but the porter assured him all the germs his brush- ing would stir up would never do any harm. Another doctor has been investigat- ing the germs on toothbrushes, and his findings are frightful—so frightful that I'd rather not quote them here. He recommends a rather elaborate method of disposing of the germs on one’s toothbrush, but—you can't do that, you know. What's the use if you're going to use the brush right away to disturb more germs? If my dentist prescribes a tooth- brush and a dentifrice for me, I'd use ‘em—or. change dentists. (Covyright. 1927.) Coffee Cream. Mix together one and one-half cup- fuls of strong coffee liquid with two cupfuls of boiled sweetened custard and one cupful of cream. Add one- third cupful of sugar to-the hot cof- fee Jiquid before adding to the other ingredients. Chill and turn into a freezer, then freeze as you would ice cream. Remove the dasher and stir in a few chopped raisins or figs and a few pecan meats, it desired. Let stand a few hours before serving. If you do not wish to bother with the freezer, take two tablespoonfuls of gelatin that has been softened in one- half a cupful of cold water and stir into the hot coffee lquid, cool, then stir in the custard. When firm stir in one cupful of cream whipped until stiff, sweetened and flavored with va- nilla. A few raisins or figs may be stirred into this. o Save on Gas. When your family insists upon having freshly-boiled potatoes at each meal, much time and fuel may be saved by cooking enough potatoes at one time to last over for two meals. The first time serve them fresh, the next time heat them by plunging the peeled potatoes into boiling water. Let remain long enough to heat thoroughly. You will think they have been freshly bolled. THE DAILY HOROSCOPE Tuesday, September 13. Again the stars are menacing in the morning and helpful in the afternoon, according to astrology. Many adverse aspects are strong un- til noon, when it is well to undertake business cautiously. There is a promising sign for mer- chants and manufacturers as the day advances, and they are to have much business. The day is better for selling than for buying, but there should be an ex- traordinary watchfulness later of the market for raw product Banking is well directed, and finan- | clers may prepare to meet new prob- | lems of serious import. All the aspects appear to promise | for the drama the most unprecedented | interest, The stage will for a time de- tract from attention usually paid to screen productions, it is foretold. Great and marvelous inventions are to make motion pictures even more wonderful than they have been in the past, the seers prophesy. Love affairs should flourish in the evening, which will be lucky for women, but men should be wary of feminine initiative. There is a good sign for association | with persons from whom favors are desired. Promoters may find capital- ists in listening mood toward sunset. Astrologers foretell that furs will come into public notice because of some new fashion that may arouse | protest from animal lovers. British women are to make some | sort of a political campaign in which | American women will help, it is proph- | esied. | International bonds of unusual friendliness are to be formed through women's organizations, astrologers foretell, | Persons whose birth date it have | the augury of a quiet and rather un important "year. | Children born on that day probably | will have to make their own way in | the world, but they are likely to be endowed with happy, cheerful natures.
