WOMA MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Keeping Make-up Intact. One of the most annoying problems in the desire to appear well groomed is the difficulty of getting make-up to stay on. Many a girl or woman has learned to apply her powder and make-up so that the effect is very natural and attractive. But, unfor- tunately, many have exactly the ex- perfence of the reader who wrote to me recently, saying: “My make-up lasts for only about three-quarters ot an hour, then I have to powder and Touge all over again. What can I do to make my make-up stay on for hours as other girls do? Is there any kind of powder and powder base that you can_suggest?” While today no one seems shocked at seeing every woman from daughter to Jrnndmother take out her compact and proceed to administer a fresn make-up, no matter where she may be, yet this is a practice which 13 certainly not very appealing and it is impossible to turn out a very artistic job outside the boudoir or dressing Toom. The problem of getting make-up to stay on is not so much a question or what kind of powder to use as it Is a question of the proper kind of pow- der base to apply. If every skin were of the same type it would be an easy matter to answer the question by teli- ing what kind of powder base to Se- lect. But for some types of skin van- ishing cream is just the thing, whie for others cold cream or some oil or skin lotfon is better. Even the same individual sometimes has to change her powder base, as the skin is_not always in the same condition. One's general health makes a great differ- ence, and the climatic conditions ot the various seasons also have much to do with the oiliness or dryness of the &kin. The girl with an olly type of skin 4s usually the one who has the mose trouble in getting mlke-uf to stay on. The first thing to do in this case i8 to try to correct the oily condi- tion by suitable external treatments and internal adjustments. Before ap- plying the foundation cream saturate a pilece of absorbent cotton in the astringent lotion, pat it on gently but thoroughly, and allow it to dry on the skin. Then apply the foundation cream; vanishing cream will make a successful powder base if it is applied perly.

Apply with a clean piece of absorbent cotton after removing cleansing cream, before you apply your foundation cream. Pat ‘the lotion well until the skin is dry. For tender skins that chap and flake off easily an oily powder base is usually most satisfactory. Cola cream or an oily lotion may be mas- saged in and then the excess wiped off before the powder is applied. But +a good skin tonic should be used be- fore the foundation cream is used. A mild skin lotion for this type of skin may be made as follows: Four ounces rosewater, four drams glycerin, one dram boric acid, two ounces orange- flower water. Dissolve the boric acid | in the rosewater, add the glycerin in the orangeflower water and mix thw two solutions together. Shake well.

Grant, in company with his wife and two mem- bers of his staff, is in Washington for a brief visit. The party arrived here last night on the dispatch steamer M. Mar- tin, from City Point, Va. Mrs. Grant went to City Point about a week ago on a visit to her husband and she is now on her way back to home in the North. Gen. Grant ex- pects to return at once to the army headquarters at City Point on his dis- patch boat, which is waiting for him at tthe Sixth street wharf. The steamer Dictator, Capt. Blake- man, arrived here this morning from City Point, bringing up a large quantity of Army mail. She reports that night before last heavy firing was heard for several hours from the direction of boats appeared to be participating. All along the lines in front of Petersburg the situation has_rematned unchangea | for several days. It is so quiet that the | pickets of the Union and Confederate Armies are hardly exchanging a shot. The Dictator, on its way here, brought to Point Lookout, Md., at the mouth of th Potomac River, 150 Confederate prisoners, principally from a Missis- the skin gently. Allow it to dry on the skin and then apply the powder base. Many find that a milky lotion makes the most satisfactory powder base. ‘These preparations owe their thick white color to the milk or almonds included in them. Proper cleansing methods have much | to do with the condition of the skin. If those who cannot keep their make- up intact on account of an oily skm will cleanse the face thoroughly witn tepid water and a mild soap and use| an astringent facial pack regularly they will find the oily condition greati relieved. On the other hand, if thos whose skin is inclined to be dry (ana this condition is usually aggravatea during the Winter months) will use tion cream, as this gives the skin a rough appearance, and the face pow- der will not go on smoothly. A simple, mild astringent for oily skins is made as follows: Four ounces orangeflower water, one dram powdered borax, one dram simple tincture of cleansing cream for a time instead or soap and ter, and an oily facia pack at regular intervals, the skin will not become chapped and rough or look dry and scaly during the cold wintry weather.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, Calif, December 16 (N.ANA)—If youre a Norma Tal- madge fan, then you'll be interested to know that fair lady will next face the public in a talkie version of “Du Barry,” with Leslie Carter acting as coach. Sam Taylor, having collaborated with Shakespeare, has been raised to the honor of the producer-director, or some- thing equally confusing, and will pilot the fair Norma through her next talkie venture. Her first talkie is still “in the can.” In case you do not know your Holly- woodese, this means made, stored but not released. Queer things happen to pictures “in the can.” Sometimes they are left there. In such cases the pro- ducer grimly accepts his $100,000 loss, or whatever sum it may be, and makes up his mind that it's all in the day's work. Again, stories are taken out of the can and informed with music. This quaint custom will make ‘‘Resurrec- tion” a dramatic Tolstoi vehicle, made with John Gilbert as star, supported by Catherine Dale Owen, with one com- pany, and a musical attraction in still an r. ‘That could happen only in Hollywood. Being interested in ‘the long wait be- tween the conclusion of Norma Tal- madge's first picture and the present (and no release date has yet been set, to my knowledge). I boldly asked the studio what had become of it. The gentie looked pained and sald that the report that the story had been scrapped was not the truth (it never is); that it would be released as soon as a release could be gotten for it. And there you are! And there I am—not & bit wiser. And now these great big red-blooded movies have gone and reached out and taken Graham McNamee from the radio ranks that he may talk during news reels and tell the dear public just what they are seeking. ‘The talkle news reel is a wonder. Sound has done more to bring the news reel into its own than any other fea- ture. So far as that is concerned, most of those readers who wrote me loudly decrying the charms of talking plctures| have slowly come around to the opinion MERRICK. that you cannot stop progress). Just now our Australian friends are writing about talkies—how they hate ’em, how they offend . the Australian ear, how soothing the silents were. Oh, well, by the time good talkies have reached the Antipodes we'll be off on 70-mm. films and will have forgotten that there ever was such a thing as the silent. Every year the local directors get together and tell which have been the banner pictures of the year. Analyzing their ultimatum, I discovered that each man voted for a picture made by thel producer who had him under contract. There is an old saying. “Never ask a professional for an opinion if you want a good one.” There are t00 many axes to grind in the village to expect the celluloid parasites to really tell the truth. Two genties were so bold as to say what they really thought, but they are so valuable to cinemaland that they can get away with anything. The others either boldly “yessed” the home lot or chose something from a lot owned by the home gang. One of the most interesting things was the almost universal mention of “Alibi” on every hand. This picture (I remember raving about it when it was premiered) was valuable at the time of its release, because it was the first in- telligently made sound picture to be given the public. In the light of subsequent talkie re- leases, “Alibi” becomes less important, from the fact that its women were un- attractive, mediocre actresses, and took a decided angle o perfection off the picture. rtion is everything. “Alibl,” a marvelous picture when it was released, is no longer marvelous, save for the performances of Regis Toomey and Chester Morris and the old detective, Purnell Pratt. As a pic- ture it belongs with yesterday's 7,000 years. We move too fast in Hollywood for 6-month-old talkie successes to make much matter.

THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME | WAS IN TROUBLI IN MY UFE! | MUST AVOID SUCH ANOTHER 3 TRANSGRESSION, soon they must face the practical ver- sion of living. In order that his growth may be strengthened against that evil day Santa Claus was invented. ‘The realist demands practicality. Children cannot sense it. They must first grow in the realm of fancy and imagination, the spirit that breathes beauty, tenderness, love. What sort of world would this be without them? Who could endure it? The spirit of love, of glving, is necessary to our existence, even the existence of the realist. Only when we are very young can it be in- stilled and fostered. Santa Claus fulfills his mission every Christmas eve when he comes as the climax of the phantasy experience of childhood. What is to be done when the child discovers there is no Santa Claus? If our work has been well done he makes no such discovery. He discovers that Santa is one of the very real things in this life of unreality. For Santa is the symbol of love and good will to men. Is that real to you? Then how real must Santa be. It is very easy to make the transition. A child is no realist at any stage of his growth. He is willing to accept Santa as you present him, the symbol of the Christmas spirit just as :)ml is willing to accept your other sym- ols. Children must not be deprived of their fairy tales.

They al- ways gave each other two or three little presents and a joke or two. Then they concentrated on one big gift. In ad- ditlon they always gave the house a present, This year the new home had received so many presents since the house-warming that they felt rather poor. The stock market had not been any too kind to Peter, either. One evening Peter happened to walk back of Nancy's chaif as she sat read- ing the paper. She seemed most intent upon one advertisement. Peter looked. Ha, ha, it was a luggage advertisement. From that time on, Peter knew about what Nancy wanted. His gift to her was a traveling or overnight case adapted especially to Pullman use. ‘The case had a top lid with a special arrangement. Part of it lifted, dis- closing the fittings held in place by narrow adjustable straps. This part of the lid which lifted became a mirror. It was so made that it stood upright, making it easy to use. A separate mirror always slithers all over the place and is of little use in the contracted space of a Pullman, In the lower part of the case was a beautifully quilted silk case for night- gown and a smaller case for handker- chiefs. There was a sleeveless silk gown and one of the new high necked and long sleeved gowns of soft flannel for use in a sleeper on wintry nights.

Why Should Marriages Fail? | DorothyDix| Finds Solution in Mismated Parents What Woman Can Gauge a Man’s Qualities Be- fore Marriage or Be Sure He'll Stay That Way Afterward? “ 'HY,” asks a woman, “should there be so many unsatisfactory marriages when there are so many different types of men to pick from?” Wh: indeed, except that women are poor pickers at best and that matrimony caus the leopard to change its spots and a husband is no more like the man he was | before marriage than a cooing dove is like a sore-headed bear. So what is the r woman to do? to do her any good. To tell her that the way to make a success type of man that exactly suits her requirements to tell her that the way to make a killing at winning horse or that she can make millions vesting in the right stocks.

Or she picks out a man of the good, solid, sensible type and she finds that he considers it foolish to indulge in any pleasure whatever and thinks that a wife should be perfectly satisfied to wear cheap clothes and stay at home and do the housework and have babies. and saving, and she finds out that he has a lock on his pocketbook. 00ses & man because he is ambitious and she discovers that he is so ab- sorbed in his career he hasn't a thought to give his wife or his home. che Or she picks out a go-getter, who is thrifty Or she So there you are, and no woman can be sure that she is getting the sort of husband she desires by picking h_lm.ouz b{ his type. BUT the tragic part about it is that it is true that if men and women could | marry the particular types of wives and husbands that suited them it would do away with matrimonial infelicity. For the trouble with most discordant couples is not that they are villains and villainnesses, not that they are brutes and shrews, not that they deliberately seek to make each other wretched, but simply that they are incompatible. It is just that the wrong men and women have got together. They would make some other man and woman perfectly good and satisfactory wives and husbands, but they get on each other's nerves and bring out everything that is worst in each other's natures Perhaps it is nature holding the balance steady to prevent humanity from running to extremes in type or else it is a perverse and malicious fate that mocks at our sufferings that causes men and women to pick out as wives and husbands the very ones who are most antagonistic to them and with whom they will find it most difficult to live in peace and harmony. EVERY day we see highly educated and intelligent men marrying little, pretty- faced, doll-baby girls who haven't two ideas to rub together in their heads. ‘We see poor young men who are ambitious to get ahead in the world marrying girls who are clothes mad and soclety mad. We see tightwad men marrying girls who are spendthrifts. We see domestic-minded men who like to eat and who compound a salad dressing as if they were going through a religious rite marrying girls who loathe the sight of a kitchen and who can't boil water without scorching it. ‘We see men whose sole idea in marrying is to settle down, marrying girls who regard matrimony as a perpetual date to step out with a steady who will have to go whether he wants to or not. Of course, these mismated couples are utterly miserable hitched together. Of course, they fight like the Kilkenny cats. and in the end pull down their house of happiness about their ears. Of course, they pull different ways Sometimes they make it a 40-year war from the altar to the grave. Sometimes one or the other dies and gives the other a chance at happiness. Often they get divorced. The intelligent man is happy with the intelligent woman who likes to read the books he does. The rounder is h: py with the wife who looks like a daily hint from Paris and who is always ready to do the night clubs with him. The thrifty man is happy with a dime-nurser wife who gets more of a kick out of a deposit in the savings bank than she does out of a new car. The bon vivant beams satisfaction across the table at a wife who can cook like a French chef. And the pathetic thing is that there are all these types of husbands and wives that would be perfect fits for us and just exactly match our own peculiar needs and tastes if we only knew how to find them. run true to form after we have found them.

The Sidewalks of Washington BY THORNTON FISHER. Biography, according to a man closely allied with the publishing busi- ness, is more popular than fiction today. Every man of achievement and dis- inction has his Boswell, if. indeed, he |t | doesn’t take a few hours off and write | his own life's history, to ‘nsure ac-| perhaps. to embellish the | high spots of his career, ignoring that | which would be best left unsung. | It seems apropos on the eve of downtown Sid | Christmas to print a brief and accurate blography of the| man who has done | more perhaps to| make the world| happy this time of | year than any one | else. | Santy Claus con- | fesses that the date| of his birth is veiled in mystery. It is said that he| was the son of Jo- hann Claus, an in- genius worker with | flcrude tools and| ¥| instruments. Mr. | Claus’ frau had a ven for tinkering | and fixing things, | so that when they found themselves cast upon the hleak{ and desolate top of the North Pole they were soon able to construct a hab- itable abode, where tiny Santy was| born. ! When he was a small boy, his father | nicknamed him Chris. Thus he became | known as Kris Kringle to many. His| mother called him Nick for short, and| others soon knew of him as St. Nicho- | las. Santy, or Nick, or Chris, inherited his parents’ talents and erected a_shop in the backyard, where he tinkered with all sorts of strange things, such as dolls, guns, wagons, sleds and skates. His father's observant eye discovered the rapid improvement of his son and | he suggested that he try his hands at bigger and more intricate toys. The boy followed his father's advice and was soon manufacturing many things un- known to the world of children. Santy's parents died when he was 200 years old, leaving him alone in the frozen north, where the winds howled a solemn requiem about the house and the polar bears barked menacingly them (the toys, of course) to all good boys and girls. | But how? There were no means of transportation. With his genius for evolving ideas, Santy built a huge sled. During the Winter season reindeer frolicked on the nearby ice ledges. Claus had thrown them choice morsels of food and they became as tame as a house cat. It was the work of only a few days for the jolly old fellow, as he is known, to make a harness to which bells were attached. With six reindeer he could make his deliveries Christmas eve. Thus his problem was | solved. | It was a cold night when Santy| started on his first journey—but let | }um tell it in his own inimitable fash-| lon: “I never will forget the night I started the great adventure. I wanted to surprise the folks. I struck upon the idea of entering by the chimney. There was one difficulty, namely, that some cop might think I was a burglar. A man with a sack on his shoulder might easily be taken for one. How- ever, they soon discovered that 1 was a giver, not a taker, of things. “The Christmas tree came as an after-thought. It was while riding one Christmas eve that I looked below and saw the beautiful green firs. Why not add them to my gifts? I saw the pos- sibility immediately of manufacturing ornaments with which to brighten them. “As the years passed and every one began to look forward to my annual business, I found myself unable to manufacture a volume sufficient to care for every one, which by this time included the grown-ups. In the mean- time the North Pole had been discov- ered and I was able to increase my staff and enlarge my plant. The big Job, of course, was to keep down the overhead, and at the same time ex- tend my production. I built 16 acres of structures to handle the toy pro. duction alone. Also I added s staff of dolls’ eye painters. Eventually we laid the corner stone for our ladies’ fur coat and jewelry gift business.® “Then followed our men’'s Christmas tie and slippers structure, with which we are inordinately pleased. “One of our greatest problems was to answer our chil- dren’s malil, which came in by the mil- lions. The little one would write and send them up the chimneys of | their homes. ™ They found their way to our offices and it requircd a staff to take care of the correspondence. These letters are ~|all indexed and filed, as are those letters from parents telling whether the - children have been good during the year. “We decided to inaugurate a policy ot giving to no child who fatled to obey its parents. It has proved to be a stupendous task. Our factories never close. What started as a small, one- man affair has become the world's gratest industry. Of course, it has be- come necessary for me to delegate many of my former functions to able assist- ants, without whom we could never turn out such production. “When you stop to think of the thousands of Christmas gifts we must provide, and each year new ones to be devised, it, is not to be wondered that we are compelled to work triple shifts to keep up with the demand. There have been so many requests for my per= sonal appearance that I nave had to train men to represent me all over the world in the costume I wear.” A wonderful story of a man who made good by application and per- severance, An inspiration to any lad who has his feet on the bottom rung of the ladder with his eyes raised aloft.
