"WOMAN’S PAGE, Severe Arrangement of Hair BY MARY MARSHALL, The prediction was made a_year ago that the days of the sleek coiffure were numbered. Curls and ringlets were pre- dicted and the girl with naturally way- ward hair, or the girl who feit that sleek locks were unbecoming, took heart. ‘The new, more feminine fashions COIFFURE FOR EVENING, SHOW-‘, ING LONG HAIR PARTED IN CEN- TER AND DRAWN INTO SOFT KNOT ON THE NECK. have come In earnest, but they have not brought with them nonchalant hair arrangement and ringlets are no smart- er than they were a year ago. If any- thing, the new mode demands a hair arrangement that is even more severe than that to which we were accustomed. | The question of hair length has not | been so definitely settled as that of skirt lengths, although they were in the bal- ance at the same time. The situation seems to be that those who still 3 the barber at regular intervals ve faith in the continued smartness of bobbed or shingled hair, while those who have gone to the pains to let it Tow agein or are of the minority who Eln never had it cut look upon short hair as entirely out of date.

Some years ago that most brilliant writer and satirist, Max Beerbohm, wrote a little book whose title I have Jjust stolen. The things that he says be- Come more and more true every year. If you still have any doubts as to the propriety of covering your face With powder or borrowing color not your own, get this from a library and read it. You will adore it. “The day of sancta simplicitas is quite ended,” he writes. “Today most women are not as young as they are painted.” How did the prejudice sgainst powdering and painting ever come into being, he wonders? Through- out the ages women have masked their faces to increase their looks. The Ro- mans, the Greeks, the Egyptians, even the heathen women, have done it. But in the early Victorian era women, tired of the high artificiality of all eighteenth century life, broke away from it into extreme naturalness. “They were utterly natural,” he says, “in their conduct, flighty, fainting, blushing, gushing, giggling and shaking their curls. No thought was held too trivial, no emotion too silly, to express . . . in those barren days what influence did ‘women exert! By men they seem not to have been feared nor loved, but re- garded rather as ‘dear little creatures.’ " These days being done with, why should one object to “painting the lily"? “Wno,” Beerbohm asks, “could grudge an artist so fair a ground for his skill?” For we are developing art- ists in make-up. It is the urge to make thi beautiful. A fascinating art, turn & plain face into a comely one!" “Loveliness shall sit at the tollet table, watching her oval face in the oval mirror. Her smooth fingers shall flit among the paints and powder, tip and mingle them, catch up a pen clasp a vial and whatnot and whatnot, until the mask of vermeil has been laid aptly, the enamel quite hardened. And, heavens, how she will charm us . . .” Jean.—Your weight of 109 pounds, hgight 5 feet 2 inches, is correct for # girl not yet 18 years old. You may ough off the make-up, which accounts for the difference in the appearance of your complexion after a few hours. A very tiny bit of cream rubbed into the skin will insure you against this annoy- ance. After you have softened the skin with the cream, wipe off as much as you can, for even after that there will be enough of it retained in the pores to act as a base for holding the powder. Miss A. E. C—There are operations for improving the shape of the nose, but I doubt if it would be advisable to attempt such a thing in your case— merely that of lessening its size. Pres- sure over the nasal passages could cause congestion and lead to serious troubles with your health. Mrs. L, D. J—There is no reason to fear superfluous hair because you use ‘water softened with oatmeal on your face and arms. Blondie.—It depends upon which way is most becoming, whether you wear your hair perfectly straight or waved. You will be keeping up with the style in either case. Now that so much wave~ ing is done, it is a very agreeable change when you find some one with uncurled hair to whom it is really becoming. E. D—Try a piece of cut cucumber rubbed into the freckles to help bleach them off. A girl of 14 years should not try to diet for reduction, and there is n5 need, because she will be making changes in her development for at least another five years to come. Make-Up. An elderly gentleman wrote me in & very grieved manner the other day say- ing that was encouraging young women to cover their pretty faces with powder and paint. This is my answer. - Young women these days are going to cover their faces with powder and paint any- way. Nothing that I could write that tke old gentleman could say will Eve‘l’rrrevent them. What young women could resist the allurements of the many pages of ingenfously written and clev- erly {llustrated advertising that she sees every day of her life? Besides which, the woman of today has certainly suc- ceeded in keeping her youth and looks in a manner that must seem miraculous t0 the woman of an older generation. So I see nothing to do about it except to give her the very best advice I can about how to make up, since obviously 1t's a thing she intends to do. ‘Therefore, if you intend to cover your face with cosmetics make sure of two things, that the quality of the cosmetic is as good as you can afford, and that the colors are right. It does not really matter how much makeup you put on | your face, if you put on any at all; a | lot of cold cream or a lot of grease paint_show up no more than a little| bit. It is the colors you must watch. | Use a foundation cream if you want| and powder over it. It should be some- | where near the color of your skin, so| thould the powder. The rouge should be just the proportion of rose and | yellow brown of the normally healthy skin, not a variety of odd shades which no human being would possess. Such unfortunate skin blemishes as lumps and moles and 50 on should first the mixture of powder and foundation cream which comes for this purpose, or they should be coated with cold cream, then rubbed with a stick of grease paint of a tone exactly matching the skin. This is an ideal temporary way of covering up spots. You must have the best quality grease paint and fill the skin beneath it with cold cream first. Powder thickly over it. M. F. E—A woman 54 yecrs of age, height 5 feet 2 inches, should weigh about 132 pounds. 8. P.—You cannot do anything to les- sen the growth of your beard or even lighten its color. Daily Reader—An exercise that is very easy to take at any time is that of mmdym head far back between the. ers and going h & num- ber -of chewing movements, cise will help all the muscles under your chin and cheeks where you need firm- ness. Rolling the head all around the shoulders, scinga first in one direction and then starting in the opposite one, will help all the muscles of the throat. Cold water dashed over your skin after- ward will help also, as it gets the blood to the surface. S. G. L—The only way you could really darken your gray hair would be to have it dyed. Many women compro- mise with a situation such as yours and use a henna shampoo that turns the white hairs to a tan shade, and when combed into the rest of the hair they are less noticeable. Plain pure henna is not a dye and not harmful to the hair, but the name suggests the color henna, and few women could chan the color of their hair and look well. If used, however, as a shampoo—henna mixed with the lather—the slight effect does mot change the natural shade of the hair beyond a slight glow, which is really no change at all, but the gray hairs are not so conspicuous. Mrs. M. C. T.—The soap you are using has not caused the trouble with your skin. There is some physical tendency causing the dryness. You should always rinse all the soap away with plenty of water, or there will be a drawn feeling. A cream made from a fine grade of olite or almond oil will help your skin, and it will not encourage any hair to gTOW. S L Oyster Pie.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL Vg K W y PARIS.—This late afternoon and informal dinner frock from Jane Regny is not exaggeratedly long, by Paris standards. The material is melon-pink chiffon, trimmed with tiny handmade tucks. RITA. DorothyDix| = Has Youth a Monopoly on Fleasure? BY LOIS LEEDS. Facial Massage. Just how to massage the face and neck seems to be a perplexing besuty problem to a great many beauty seekers. As 1s so very important in the quest for beauty, it might be a good idea for mils to keep the following detailed instructions in some place in her bou- dofr or bath room, where they can be referred to frequently, until she is sure that she knows exactly what the cor- rect movements are for scientific facial massage. In the first place, the purpose of fa- clal massage is to stimulate the circu- lation of the blood and tone up the flabby and umn.;‘ facial muscles. All the movements should be done very lightly with the balls of the fingers, but they should be firm enough to ex- ercise the various facial muscles. Some sort of cream or oil is necessary to lubricate the skin so that the fingers will glide over the face easily. A cleansing cream or oil should be used to remove the surface dust powder and make-up. And in the weekly massage hot towels may be applied to prgpare the skin for the nourishing creams, oil and lotiont which are used for the various types of skin. ‘The following movements are then used for the weekly or semi-weekly fa- cial massage. Remember that an up- ward, rotary movement should always be used when applying cleansing cream, skin food or tissue cream, for daily use as well as for the weekly massage. Even when drying the face after wuhl‘“ with soap and water the same upw: rotary patting movement should be used. Never rub the skin downward. Massage Movements. First movement—After the cream has been applied evenly with a re up- ‘ward motion, use the balls of the fingers and massage with a rotary stroke across the forehead from temple to temple. Follow this movement by an_ up-and- down movement, covering the same area. Second movement—With the second and third fingers begin a light rotary movement at the nostrils, going upward and over the upper eyelids around the jouter corners of the eyes. Third movement—With the second and third fingertips massage with up- ward movement over the temples oppo- site the outer corner of the eyes. h movement—With "the same fingers massage the cheeks lightly with & circular rotary movement extending from the bridge of the nose to the temples. Fifth movement—Use the same fin- .| gers and massage the nose with an up- Most of Us Get More Real Pleasure Out of the Latter Part of Our Lives Than We Did Out of the Beginning. N\ /Y GRANDCHILDREN,” said an elderly woman to me the other day, “pity me because I am old and my life is almost done, and I pity them because they are so young and have s0 long to live, 5o many hardships to struggle through, so many anxieties and heartbreaks to bear. We are liks the people in Barrie’s play, who said: ‘Poor soul!' compassionately to each other. “Often- my grandchildren drop in to say good night to me as they are rushing madly from one place of amusement to another—long drives to far away roadhouses—balls where they will hop about for hours to the discord of blaring jazz bands—restaurants where they will eat badly cooked food in an atmosphere of stale cigarette smoke—noise tumult, crowds, whipping themselves up into a state of feverish excitement—that is what they are going to. But as turn away I can see how soi they are for me to have to spend a dull evening in my quiet room, with no diversion except my books and perhaps an old friend who will drop in. “And as they depart I overflow with sympathy for them, thinking how bored I would be if I had to spend an evening as they are going to spend theirs, and I return thanks to all my gods that I don't have to dance until my feet to wlv.?. weariness nor have my ears assailed by cow- eta. hters, who are young and pretty and popular, almost weep '.h‘\khwuditumrnwomnwbesooldlheudonevlth romance, when she knows that there is no fairy prince walting for her around the corner, when no man even turns his head to look as she passes by, when she has no dates, no kisses, not a thrill left to her. “And as I look at the pfetty young things I could shed tears over them. knowing the anxiety they )::l‘l;ml.h ‘wondering if the men they fancy afe going to fancy them, th! of tl that will be torn to tatters, of the disillusionments that will come to , of the heartache and heartbreak that they are bound to know. And I smile to myself as I reflect that no woman ever ! knows any real peace and happiness until she gets to the place in life where her ! happiness does not depend upon others. = ¢6()F COURSE, it is natural for the young to think that they have a monopoly ‘O on pleasure and that it is only the strenuous things that they like to do that have any enjoyment in them. But I marvel that older people should coincide in this false view of life. “That older people do believe in this fallacy that youth is the only joytime of life is abundantly proved by the desperation with which they cling to every shred of youth and by the way they imitate all the sports and amusements of youth. Everywhere you go you behold the pitiful spectacle of world-worn, care- burdened old men and women trying to act like carefree boys and girls. Every- where you can hear rheumatic old bones creaking in the dance. “Everywhere you can see bay-windowed old grandpas pursuing flappers and pnmced-u;y:ld woymen ogling m{"l smirking and smiling and trying to flirt and make themselves fascinating to men as they did 50 years before, and they are doing it beeause they are trying to keep young, because they think it is only possible to get a kick out of life when you are young. “They are so completely imbued with this superstition that they have never stopped to that our interest in life and our enjoyment of things is not chronological. It doesn't automatically cease when we are 40 or 50 or 60 or even 70. It merely changes, and in all truth most of us get more real enjoyment out of the latter part of our lives we did out of the . It takes time and education and experience, years of living, to enable us to get the full flavor out of any pleasure. “Life is like & banquet. The young gobble it down, content if it satisfles their hunger. It is all one to them whether it is caviar or corned beef. We older ones feast delicately, savoring every flavor, appreciating the subtlety of every sauce, and we get pleasure out of & perfectly balanced meal that no youngster can know. And that is life. Eaine ‘IONZ time I went around the world in the company of three charming young people. At first I was madly envious of them. I thought how wonderful it was to see strange countries and historic places and queer peoples and cus- toms when one was young and to have one's life so enriched at its very begin- ning with all this knowledge that would make the places and people that one read about not just mere names, but that would enable one to visualize the very scene where some pageant or catastrophe had occurred or some romance was lald. “But T had not been long with my young people before I realized that I was getting a hundred times more out of the uiinm-n they were. They were too young. They hadn't read enough. They didn’t know enough. They hadn't enough ‘background to appreciate what they were seeing. A city or a river or & moun- tain’ was simply a city or & river or a mountain'to them, and nothing more. ‘To me it was history, it was tradition, it was romance, it had a thousand associations to me that made it interesting, that they lacked. “My grandchildren are well educated and we read the same books, but be- cause I have read so much more than they have, and because I have run the gamut of life myself and have known love and birth and death and joy and sor- row I get something out of a book that they miss, “And so there we are. Each age has its own pleasures, and I mourn that S0 many of my age have not intelligence enough to know that age has its joys no less keen than youth if they will only take them, instead of trying to steal the pleasures that do not belong to them.” DOROTHY DIX.

Well, it may not have been that, but it surely was an effective one. She used a white damask cloth. On that she placed three low bowls at regular intervals. These held white baby chrysanthemums with stems cut short. The flowers looked almost like short-stemmed English daisies in low, stiff bouquets. Her candlesticks were clear glass with round bases. A black candle was in each stick. The glassware was crystal with round black glass bases. These were ranged symmetrically. The goblets for water and for mineral water were of the same shape—low and squat with round-footed bases joined to goblet with no interven- ing “stem. The dishes were white Wedgewood. The first course consisted of circular canapes with caviar on top. A ripe olive was served with each canape. French pork tenderloin with a sauted mushroom cap on top, broiled tomato slices, Parislenne potato balls with gar- nish of chopped parsley made the main course of the meal. The salad consisted of elices of avocado pear arranged to make a circle on the flat romaine leaves. The dessert was a large meringue rh:g filled with ice cream and served wil brandy snaps.
