WOMAN'S PAGE." MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Improving Thin Faces. Some of the beauty problems that come to my desk can be solved easily, but there are others that cannot be solved at all according to th» wishes of the person most concernec. Ia this latter class are problems thai arise from one's natural physical type. For exam- of the thin type may take stimulating.| facial - treatments several, times month. The ultra-violet and infrared rays that are used by come are helpful here. The action of former is superficial but very stimulating; that of the latter more penetrating. Need- less to say, thess treatments should be given by a person who is experienced ple, there is the girl with a round face | in_theis and slender figure who wants to reduce her face. Quite the opposite is the woman with a thin face and well de- veloped body who wants fat cheeks. It is the latter whose problem I am going to describe today. In the first place, let me assure you that patting cocoa butter or other oily substance on the face will not make it fat. Such applications correct dryness of the skin. The message which should follow the application, however, stimu- lates the muscles, making them firmer and fuller. Many women have the idea that the facial muscles can be nourished by putting something on the skin. This is not possible. ‘The woman whose face is naturally HOLLYWOOD, Calif, April 8— Really warm days are here, and sports clothes with them. Hollywood is the very core of sportsdom, the center of sartorial laissez-faire. Now is the time that leading ladies, extras and mere citizens in their flam- boyant youth shed hosiery and all the superfluous garments which may possi- bly be discarded. Now also is the time when grandmas who should know better display their varicose charms on the boulevard, for the sockless fad is not confined to pos- sessors of divine youth. Joan Crawford welcomes the young year in a sports ensemble of white jer- sey with futuristic trimming of shell green. With it she wears antibes socks of soft white lamb’s wool and dull green sports shoes. Leila Hyams looked like a young tulip bud, slim and silvery green in a straight little tennis dress of pongee. Her yel- Jow head made delightful contrast. She ‘wore white sports shoes without heels and soft green socks of lamb’s wool. Richard Barthelmess will be in a picture based on the formula that “a carelessly-laid hairpin causes more di- vorces than infidelity.” Quite true, sez I. But a carelessly- laid hairpin plus infidelity can bring about a first-class shooting. According to Director William Beau- dine, 23 varieties of sound caught by 14 concealed microphones must be dealt Wwith in his new picture. Just so. But this carrying of con- cealed microphones can be overdone, even in Hollywood. And regarding the 23 varieties of .sound, cheer up! After a while directors and producers will have ceased amusing themselves with sound, and then the public can be amused. But pity the man who has worked in silence all these years. Have a heart for the director who has watched dumb show exclusively in his work. He is like a 5-year-old with his first toy engine. He will learn to minimize these things in later pictures, because he will under- stand that these sounds have become to a certain extent annihilated by our very foreknowledge of them. They be- come blurred and blended into the background of the picture, as we have heard them hundreds and thousands of times and know they are there. Our ear is sharp to the thing we must hear and want to hear, so the click of the door latch, the scratch of a match or the tap-tap of heels. Now that we have emotional ial- ists to gauge just how far the hokum may go, we earin that “every person has some permanent emotional deform- ity as a result of a wrong or deficient emotional education in childhood or adolescence.” Dr. William M.

Professional facial treatments are beneficial, but the woman who prefers to be her own beautician for one rea- son or- another need not feel that she is hopelessly handicapped. There are simple home treatments that any one can give. I am describing one wdg that is especially helpful to women wi thin faces and rather dry, rough skin. It will improve the texture of the skin and stimulate the tissues. Of course, it cannot make a thin face fat, but its regular use will keep the thin face from becoming flabby and deeply lined. Begin as usual by cleansing the face and neck with cleasing cream. Wipe it off. Wring out your face cloth in warm water and wipe the skin again to remove all traces of cream. Have the following face pack ready to apply after the cleansing: Three ounces olive half ounce cologne water, one- quarter dram tincture benzoin, one- quarter dram ofl of rose (or other per- fume), enough cocoa butter to make a smooth paste. It will be necessary to heat the mixture in order to blend it thoroughly. Spread the facial pack on your face and neck while it is quite warm. Place over each eye a pad of absorbent cotton moistened in cold water. Lie down.for 5 or 10 minutes. Pat your skin gently with your fingertips or a patter all the time. Next wipe off the pack and wipe | the skin again with your face cloth that has been wrung out in hot water.

NANCY PAGE Beige, Biack and Bertha All Begin With “B.* BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Nancy needed a new dress for a din- | ner dance. Because they were getting | ready to build, Nancy did not feel that she could put a great amount of money in_the dress. She went dress hunting. In one shop she found a lovely beige | crepe chiffon with a bertha which hung | almost cape-like in the back and ex-| tended almost to waist line. The dress | had a beautiful piece of beige lace edging the bertha and the slight yoke which extended above the bodice of the dress. But the dress cost too much. She looked at filmy laces in wine color, in hand-painted black chiffons and! nets, but they all cost too much, too. She did note, though, that most of the evening dresses had cape back which extended bertha fashion in front. ‘The line was most kind to shoulders and bare arms. Finally the saleswoman found a black | georgette crepe with the same bertha. 1 But the dress had sleeves, since it was planned for an afternoon frock. Nancy decided that the sleeves could be taken out, since the bertha came over the armholes, anyway. And be- ing black the dress was really more serviceable and just as smart. The skirt was intricately cut, but hung beauti- fully and was fluttery as could be in walking or dancing. The waist and skirt joining was covered by folds of crepe which were tied in a soft bow in the front. The ends of this were long and fluttering as well. It takes a slim person to wear ‘modern clothes. Write to Nancy Page, care of this , inclosing & stamped, self-addressed ShVelobe. ‘aSKing for er jeafiet o e ing. (Copyright, 1929.) Evil Influence - | i THE - EVENING STAR, WASHI &, |DorothyDix %! Some Husbands and Wives Forget Burden They Bear Is Divided by Half and They Are Spared Curse of.Loneliness. YOUNG woman asks: “Why is it that almost every husband and wife you meet says, ‘If I were single, I would never marry.’” Oh, on the principle that we never know when we are well off, and we are never satisfied wyth the particular place that we are.in. We never see that the flowers are blooming around us, and the grass is sweet, We are always remember- ing some luscious meadow through which we d in the long ago, or, think that just over the bars there are greener fields and pastures newer. “Man never is, but always to be, bl ,” you knaw. That sort of thing. Of ‘course, marriage is no! picnic, and when people are in the thick of it, it often. seems to them that they get more kicks than ha'pence out of it. They find the romance of courtship gone, its illusions dispefied, and in its place the monotonous and uninspiring doing of one’s dally duty. They have discovered that marriage isn't just holding hands and billing and cooing. It is working eight hours a day to pay the butcher and the baker and the landlord and the milliner and the dressmaker and the beauty shop, and it is standing over & cookstove and washing dishes and running the vacuum cleaner and nursing babies and staying at home nights when your feet just ache to dance and you are mad for the brlcht'hutm.onu more. 'HE husband and the wife have found out that they did not marry the creatures of impossible perfections that they thought they were espousing, but that each has a very human life mate full of faults and weaknesses and temper and nerves and selfishness and unreason. Each has discovered that the marriage ceremony does not work a miracle that turns a man and woman into two souls with but ‘a single thought, two hearts that beat as one, but that, on the contrary, marriage seems to set people in their individual opinions, as a mordant does a dye, and that no ‘other two people in the world can hold such diverse opinions and find so many things to fight about as a husband and wife. So, human nature being what it is, and. men and women being what they are, and it being perfectly natural for all of us to take our blessings as no more than our due, and to regard our trials and tribulations as undeserved misfortunes, it is not surprising that some day after Mr. Benedict has had words with Mrs. B. he should reflect that if he didn't have to support a family he could afford a racing car and yachts and things, and that if he didn’t have to punch the home time clock he could stay downtown and play poker with the boys, and that he should say that if he were single he would never marry. Nor is it surprising that after Mrs. Benedict has had to wheedle the price of a new hat out of Mr. B. and listen to his invidious comparison between the kind of bread she makes and that his mother used to make, and after she has sat up evening after evening with a man who had the conversational repertoire of a sore-headed bear, she opines that if she had not married she would never, never, never commit such a folly. ‘The reason for this is twofold. First, husbands and wives, without realizing it, always associate being unmarried with youth and high spirits and freedom from care and worry, and they feel that if they had not married they would have remained perpetual boys and girls. One of the principal reasons people get divorces is because they have the delusion that if they can get rid of those to whom they are married they will be restored to their status of flaming youth once more. e e 'HEY forget that, whether they marsied or stayed single, age would have sobered them, and the cares and burdens of life that none may escape would have come upon them. They would have to go about the real business of life, which is work and mot play. They would have known toil and anxiety and worry and sickness and sorrow, and have had to do without. the things they wanted and to do the thinks they did not want to do. For the old bachelor and the old maid have no sinecure. They escape none of the sorrows of existence and they add to them loneliness. ‘While smarting under the pin pricks of matrimony, the husbands and wives who say that if they were single they would never marry forget that they have their consolations as well as their troubles. The man forgets the comfortable home his wife makes for him, and the woman forgets the good living her husband makes for her, They forget that while domestic life curtails their liberty it is better than not having any one in all the world who cares enough for you even to note what you do. They forget that the burden that two bear together is divided by half and that nothing augments a joy or a triumph like sharing it with another. They even forget the happiness their chiidren have brought them, and that in them they have an interest that will never die. So married people often say that if they were single they would never marry again, but that they don't mean it is amply proved by the fact they nearly always do marry again if they lose their husbands or wives, either by death or divorce. Old bachelors and old maids are often chirpy and happy enough, but widows and widowers are nearly always restless and dissatisfied. Their freedom palls upon them. Staying out at night loses its kick for a man when nobody cares whether he ever comes back or not. No woman takes an interest in getting up a dinner if no man is to eat it. Those who have been married miss the com- panionship to which they are accustomed. They even miss somebody to fight with. Life with a husband or wife may be rough sailing. But it is never dull. o DOROTHY DIX. (Cop! A Sermon for Today BY RE . JOHN R. GUNN, Religion for Modern Youth. Text: “My strength is made perfect in weakness."—II Chronicles, xii.9. “Modern youth demands a religion of adventure and conquest and compe- tence,” said a university professor in a recent address. Enlarging upon this he spoke as follows: “The religion of our grandfathers was laid along lines of dependence. Our grandfather said: ‘I am weak; God strengen me, I am a sinner; God forgive me. I am tempted; God save me.’ The well loved hymn ‘Lead, Kindly Light,’ was a sonw of dependence and surrend- er. When I speak to college youth of a religion of subordination and defeat, the unrealness of such terms leaves them untouched and indifferent; but when I speak of a religion of adventure and conquest, of modern competence and vl;:tory. they respond with a thrill elec- tric.” When I read this I thought of my own grandfather. He delighted to sing that song of dependence, “Lead, Kindly Light.” He confessed himself a sinner and pleaded for divine forgiveness. He freely acknowledged his weakness and often cried to God for strength. When tempted he prayed, “God save me!” Yet he was one of the most adventurous of men. He was one of those early Eioneer preachers of whom we have all eard many stories of thrilling adven- ture. And going back further, who were those great adventurers who opened up the American continent to civilization but-men imbued with this old-fashioned religion of contrition, de- pendence and surrender? There was no “unrealness” in the religion of these men. Nor was there lnckin; anything of “adventure and conquest,” of “com- petency and vlcmz." If modern youth want a religion of adventure; give them the religion of our fathers. To be adventurous, religion need not deny human frailty and de- pendence.

It is well known in that the doctor, MW{er, professor, dentist and other professional men are considered easy prey for venders of bogus stock and for “easy money” promoters.
