Watches were once considered not at all appropriate for evening wear— and many sorts of watches even now would hardly go with the smart eve- ning ensemble. But there are new pendant brooches, with the wartch hidden away in the jeweled pendant, BEAUTY CHATS Color. Color makes-such a difference in one’s entire outlook on life that 1 wish, some time, sone one would write a book on color—just color, its physi- cal, spiritual and psychological effect on people, and work out the often obvious laws of color effects and color harmony. The real trouble is that people either combine violent colors or let the original colors of the materials that surround them fade out into th> dirty gray all things seem to come to in the end. For instance—your nice lingerie, delicate pastel pink in the beginning. rose beige, the palest of blues, in crepe de chine and chiffon with touches of lace. After a long season of laundering, what are all the colors—all variations of the same shade of dirty gray!

Dear Miss Leeds: Is It so_terribly unfashionable to let one's hair grow? I am so tired of my bob. I have heard that many girls and women in the larger cities are doing their hair up. 1Is this true? Please suggest a way to wear my hair while it is grow- ing long again. Iam 30 years old and 5 feet 6 inches tall. What should I weigh? MRS, L. ED. Answer—Fashions in coiffures come and go. A few years ago the bob was the latest thing in- hairdressing; now the bob is old and the long coiffure is new again. Many girls feel as you do and are letting their hair grow, so do not hesitate to follow suit if you feel Inclined to do so. The bobbed coiffure will still be worn by those who find it convenient or especially becoming, but the long-hair coiffure is just as fashionable. When letting the hair grow it is a good plan to con- tinue shingling the back until the front and side hair is long enough to reach back and makes a small coil at the nape of the neck. This cov- ers the short back hairs. Another way is to pin the front hair behind the ears and allow the back hair to grow until it is long enough to curl upward in a small roll across the back of the neck or to be fashioned in a French twist. The average weight for girls of your age and height is 138 pounnds. LOIS LEEDS. Superfluous Hair on Lip. ‘Dear Miss Leeds: I have dark hs on my upper lip and have tried bleach- ing them with a mixture of ammoni lemon juice and peroxide. The bleach seemed to burn the skin and the hairs came in darker. Is it perfectly to have theso hairs removed perm nently with_ the electric needle? tle operation leave scars. OCENA H. Answer—The bleach you have used is too strong for the skin. 1 think you will find the most satisfactor way to solve this beauty problem is to have the offending hairs removed by electrolysis (the electric needle) If the work is done by a competen operator, no permanent scars will r main. The ray method is also used to remove superfluous hairs perm: nently. If you prefer using a bleach, however, I suggest your using two parts of peroxide to one part of am- monia; this will bleach the hairs in time.

December 10, 1789.—A grant of $120,000, or “an adw as it was called in the act, Federal Government General Assembly of Vi new Federal City, conditioned upon the selection by Congress of a site on the Potomac River. The Legislature of Maryland has also indicated its| willingness to grant money to_help erect public buildings for the Presi- dent and Congress if a site on the Potomac is chosen, or any other site in that State. | The inhabitants of Baltimore have | been eager to have that city selected | for the seat of government. They are prepared, it is said, to raise a large | sum of money to provide the neces sary public buildings. They point to | the fact that their city has already been tested as a meeting place for Congress, for in the Winter of 1776, when the British occupied phia, Congress adjourned more, where a session lasting months was held. At the next meet- ing Congress was able to return to Philadelphia. Sinee that time great changes have taken place in Balti- more. Its trade has increased and its population nearly doubled.
