WOMAN'’S PAGE. THE EVEN D. C., THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 19 FEATUR ES. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Dear Miss Leeds: I am a constant Teader of your beauty column and one of the many beauty seekers. I am 17 years of age, 5 feet 3 inches tall and weight 145 pounds (1) Can you tell me. please, how I can lose weight? Perhaps you can suggest an exercise:, also a diet. I don't have much exer- cise, because I sit all day. (2) What THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE. Modified Princess Frock. Like all smart street frocks, it favors the even hemline and shows smart pref- erence for printed crepe silk in Lanvin green and eggshell. ‘The higher waistline attracts atten- tion through shirring at either side which molds the dress closely to the figure. The long, straight hipline adds considerably to the effect of slimness. collarless Vionnet neckline has knotted tie scarf that reflects the green and eggshell shades in plain crepe. Style No. 432 comes in sizes 16, 18, 20 years, 36, 38, 40 and 42 inches bust. Black silk crepe with tie in asparagus and pistache n crepe is chic. Sapphire blue Canton crepe, orange- red crepe silk. navy blue wool crepe and crepe Elizabeth in putty-beige are smart. For a pattern of this style send 15 cents in stamps or coin directly to The W ‘Star’s New York Fashion Bureau, Fifth avenue and Twenty- ninth street, New York. ‘There are a great many other styles in our Spring Fashion Magazine by the same designer who created this model. 1 feel certain you would be pleased with them. So in sending for your pattern 1 suggest that you inclose 10 cents addi- tional for a copy of our fashion maga- zine causes little blackheads and pimples on the shoulders and back? Can you tell me how to get rid of them? Answer. You are a few pounds over- weight, but I think that is due to lack of active exercise. A girl of your age needs to take from 10 to 20 minut every morning for setting-up exercises. Take a brisk walk outdoors every day and attend a gymnasium or swimming pool at least twice a week. If you do this you will keep your body trim and your muscles firm and supple. A seden- tary occupation is the cause of flabby muscles, heavy hips and poor posture in a great many cases. I shall be glad to mail you my set of beauty exercises that you may take regularly every morning before breakfast, if you will write for them. Inclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope and ask for “Beauty Exercises.” You do not need a reducing diet, as a girl of your age needs well balanced menus, but you should not overeat at any time. (2) The blackheads and pimples are due to obstructed oll glands (pores) and general sluggishness of the skin. At bedtime scrub your back and shoul- ders well with warm water and a mild soap. Use a long-handled bath brush. Rinse well in cold water and dry. Ap- ply a little of the following lotion and allow it to dry on the skin: One dram sulphate of zinc, one dram sulphuretted potash, four ounces rosewater. Dissolve the sulphate of zinc in half of the rose- water and the potash in the other haif and 'mix the two solutions togsther. Apply with a piece of clean absorbent cotton. Two or three times a week, after cleansing the back and shoulders, apply a towel wrung out in hot water. Repeat the hot applications several times and have some one press out the larger blackheads. Bathe for several minutes both before and after the steaming process with hot boric acid solution, which is made by dis- *|solving one heaping tablespoonful of boric acld in one pint of boiling water. Allow it to cool before using so as not to burn the skin. Blot the skin dry and apply a little sulphur ointment, zinc or boracic acid salve to the sore spots and dust with dry boric acid powder. Tanning and mild sunburn combined with these local antiseptic easures are very helpful and heal- ing. Ask your physician regarding the sunlight of ultra-violet ray treatment. LOIS LEEDS. Perspiring Feet and Armpits. Dalsy—Scrupulous cleanlines _ ob- tained by a hot soap and water bath followed by a tepid or cold rinse every day, with particular attention paid to the feet and armpits, is the first es- sential in local treatment. After the bath, the feet should be thoroughly dried and well dusted with a powder made of one ounce boracic acid, two ounces powered zinc oxide, two ounces powdered starch. Fresh hos- fery should be put on daily. The same powder may be dusted in the .rm?u.s. The following lotion may be applied night and morning after the soap and water cleansing before the powder is used: One dram tannic acid, two ounces witch hazel, four ounces cologne water, two ounces rosewater. Apply with a clean plece of absorbent cotton and allow it to dry on the skin. LOIS . (Copyright, 1030.) Strawberry Meringue.

IMA DUDD, AS WELL AS HER BROTHERS, ARE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT A MINOR OPERATION IS WHAT A DOCTOR, PERFORMS ON A CHILD, F. C. B—When two subjects are con- nected by “as well as,” the verb agrees with the first. Say, “Ima Dudd, as well as her brothers, is under the impres- sion,” or “Her brothers, as well as Ima Dudd, are under the impression.” In a case of this kind it is some- times better to change the construction as follows: “Ima Dudd and her brothers are under the impression.”. el el Cotton mill owners of China report- ed that despite the labor unrest in the country last year they did not have a single labor dispute.

It was a splendid chance to boast, & chance the whole world seldom brings, to point out the surging host that he had done heroic things. He might have pointed then with pride to that great record he had made; but he let all such chances slide, modest manner he displayed. He talked of Scott, that dauntless soul, who struggled early, struggled late, to hang his flag upon the Pole, and found he was some weeks too late. To Amundsen he handed praise, to all big men who've done and dared, extolled their high, courageous ways—in _which how splendidly he He hung no wreaths on Mr. Byrd, or on his storm-swept caravan; he talked some time, and every word was tribute to some other man. The cheap man, having done a thing which may of some distinction smack, is much inclined to dance and sing, and pat himself upon the back. He is inclined ire a where he may talk three hours or nine, and show the people, one and all, that his accomplishments are fine. He likes to get a large brass T i horn and blow it in some public rglot until the atmosphere is torn with his ‘bombastic string of rot. Then comes the man who's tiuly great, fit subject for the lyre and pen; and if persuaded to orate, his discourse is of other men. The modest hero holds respect of all the people, all the time, and they will always recollect with happiness his deeds sublime. The tinhorn hero may achieve some adultation for a day, but not_for long will folks believe the stuff he is inspired to say. WALT MASON. (Copyright, 1930.) In the Kitchen. If cupboard or pantry space is lim- ited, place narrow shelves between the wide ones to hold cups, tiny pitchers, salt and pepper shakers, spices, sauce dishes and other small articles. Kitchen tables may be recovered with wallboard and then painted with floor enamel. An old kitchen table finished in this way will look like new. If you have no bread board, select a smooth board of suitable dimensions and cover it with white table oilcloth. It is then easily kept clean and is in every way satisfactory and helpful.

No one knows just what intelligence is. At the same time everyone thinks he does. We all have our standards for judging the intell®gence of others. After all, intelligence is & perform- ance rather than a thing. We know it only in terms of how cleverly or well some one does something that is in some way related to our conception of common sense. Some behave as “gen- iuses.” Some behave a little less so, and are know as “talanted.” As you go down the line, you have in turn the “aver- age,” the “mediocre,” the “stupid,” and the “deficient.” These degrees of doing things well, if at all, constitute the marks on a fairly usable yardstick of intelligence. But given such a yardstick, there seems to be some difficulty in using it. Almost anyone can measure the grade immediately above or below his own. When he goes in for measuring intelli- gence two or more degrees up or down from his own, he begins to get confused. That accounts for the truth of the saying: “Set a thief to catch a thief.” That's why an intoxicated man im- agines that the sober do or should feel about as he dces. That's why the in- sane imegine that there’s something wrong with the minds of the sane. That's why the “average” man thinks { that there is such a thing as an “in- sanity genius.” That's why “mediocre” or “stupid” folks so often find fault® with the “talented,” and why the * ented” are impatient \-ith them. T A Rhubarb Jam. To six pounds of rhubarb add six pounds of sugar and six large lemons. Cut the rhubarb in small pieces and slice the lemons very thin. Put the fruit in a large bowl and cover with the sugar, letting it stand for 24 hours. Boll for about three-fourths of an hour. Do not stir more than necessary, as it is not attractive if all broken up.

Eccentric People. ‘What do you mean when you say that so-and-so is eccentric? Literally, of course, the term means “off center.” Actually, it means almost anything you want to say, when you unsympathetical- ly try to describe a personality that doesn’t measure up to your idea of ac- ceptable or sanctionable behavior. ‘There are two sorts of eccentric peo- ple—normal eccentrics and “cranks.” The normal eccentrics are those who poesess s0 much originality that the average man can't understend them. They have such vivid imaginations that their minds rotate in orbits too far for the average mind to comprehend. When you say that such a person is eccentric you are only exposing your own narrow- mindedness. He is eccentric so far as you are concerned, simply because he thinks on a higher plane than you do. When Edison’s phonograph was first demonstrated before the French Acad- emy of Science in 1878, the members of that learned body thought that the tical joke on them. One of that body theorized about the thing for six months and concluded that ventrilo- quism was connected with the demon- stration. A crank is one who possesses less than average imagination. So far as you are concerned he is off-center, be- cause he cannot fathom your intel- ligence. Cranks are so common that they here need no comment, except to say that they are specialists (?) on such things as microbes, vitamins, calories, religion, politics, social reforms, per- pettuul-moucn machines and even hon- esty. y (Copyright. 1930, Sauce for Baked Fish. | Mince some lemons, garlic, green pepper and onions.
