WOMAN’S PAGE’ THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1929. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Coiffure for Oval Face. Dear Miss Leeds—(1) I have an oval Hace, a straight Roman nose, large blue { %eyes, medium forehead and very thick, dark brown hair. I wear my hair mar- : eeled. Would I look better with short hair reaching to the bottom of the ear j- or with & long bob, or with my hair done up? (2) Most every time I move ! the bones in my legs crack. What is i the cause and cure of this condition? i1 (3) I am 17 years old, 5 feet 415 inches tall and weigh 114 pounds. My measurements are: Neck, 1215; bust, 32'5; walst, 27; hips, 36; thigh, 20'2; Staight ealf, 1315; ankle, 8% ; wrist, 6'4; shoe | size, 515-C. Am I too tall and thin? EILEEN. Answer—(1) Roman noses are hooked. If your nose is straight and rather large, a long-hair coiffure would be most becoming. If, however, your nose is not larger than the average I would prefer the short bob for you. I really | cannot judge this point very well with- out seeing you, of course. Why not let your friends deeide which is the most becoming hairdress for you? (2) You should consult a doctor | about your diet. Tell him what you | are in the habit of eating. Your diet is probably not rightly balanced and you are underweight. (3) The average weight for your age and height is be- tween 121 and 125 pounds. Your neck and bust are small, but the other meas- urements are good. You are not un- usually tall, but you should try to gain | about 10 pounds LOIS LEEDS. | Thin Halr. Dear Miss Leeds—(1) My hair is very thin. How can I make it grow? (2) I am 19 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall and weigh 132 pounds. Am I over- weight? My hips measure 38 inches; how can I reduce them? PEARL O'D. Answer—(1) Scanty hair in a young person usually means lack of local care. Be sure to massage your scalp for 10 minutes each day. Brush the hair 50 times on each side with a clean brush every day, and wash it at least twice a month; if it is oily wash it oftener. Keep the scalp clean and free from dandruff. (2) You are a few pounds below the average weighy for your age and height. Your hips are not too large for your height. I do not think you can reduce them, since their width is probably due to their bone structure and not to ex- cess fat. To keep them from becoming really fat you must take regular exer- cise. Walk several miles a day and engage in some sort of outdoor sport. LOIS LEEDS. No Magic in Beauty Creams. Dear Miss Leeds: I am in my 20s, but my skin is getting leathery, with enlarged pores and some blackheads around the nose. The pores refuse to reduce regardless of how well the par- ticular skin food or astringent is vertited to work. The result is never that pictured by the manufacturers. Do you think that facial magnesia or witch hazel would help? Is there any way to iron out laughing lines? M. F. R. Answer—There is no magic in beau- ty creams that can counteract the ill effects of wrong use of make-up, in- correct diet and constipation. Try this simple home trea’ 'ent. At bedtime cleanse your face * . cold cream, wipe it off and wash with plenty of warm water and pure castile soap. Rinse and lather again. Give a final rinse in cold ‘water and rub your face with a piece of jce wrapped in a handkerchief. Dry carefully. If the skin feels sensitive, pat in a little astringent face cream. Next morning bathe your face in cold fully. Apply your powder base and powder, if you use any. Remember that local treatments alone cannot cure the condition. In addition you must watch your diet, avold constipation and exer- Cise every day. See that your weight is correct for age and height. Pat muscle oll on the wrinkles at bedtime. LOIS LEEDS.

HOWARD deals in a complete line of groceries and meats at 700 King Street, corner of Washington, down- town in Alexandria, Va. His telephones are 1477 and 1478. We grocers are likely to overlook one person who is pretty important. That’s the Bond Bread salesman. I’'ve never met representatives of a big company who showed the interest in their work and in my business these fellows show. I used to be wary of them. When a salesman comes into your store and suggests that per- haps he knows more about your bread de- partment than you do, naturally you won- der. You think he’s just trying to boost his own business. I didn’t see the other side of it at first. i The other side of it is that by keeping a careful record of my Bond sales the Bond salesman makes sure that customers get only fresh-from-the-oven bread. He leaves just enough to carry me through until he comes around on his next trip. Customers compliment me on the fact that they always seem to come into the store just after I receive my delivery of Bond. Naturally so. Because of the salesman’s prompt and regular deliveries, I get the credit for having my Bond just right. Really the credit should go to the Bond Bread salesman, for his perfect service F. B.
