And yeta well made man-tailored suit, worn by & pretty woman, with the right accessories, is a costume that most men admire in spite of themselves It is something that can be worn most suc- cessfully by the woman of decidedly feminine type. Its charm lies in the contrast of careful, conventional tatlor- ing and the little accessories and de- talls that are definitely feminine.

Keep up the careful manicuring and aiso use a good hand lotion or cream and mas- sage the whole of the hand, includ- ing the fingers, every night. Once a week give them a bleaching pack made of cornmeal, almond meal or oatmeal, mixed to a smooth paste with butter- milk, witchhazel or rosewater. Be sure to dry the hands thoroughly every time you wash them and press back the cuticle at the base of the nail. ‘When massaging the hands or apply- ing lotion, hold the hand upright and massage the lotion or cream in the skin thoroughly, using a firm, stroking movement from the fingertips down to the elbow. Do not let any thoughtless E.rson‘a remarks worry jsou regard- g the shape of your hands. This is apt to make you imagine they are larger than they really are, but it is only in your own mind, not in reality. I should like you to have my beauty leaflet on care of the hands and arms.

Dear Miss Leeds: I have numerous freckles, and as I have been unable to remove them with bleaching cream I wish merely to make them less con- spicuous. Should I use a lighter or darker shade of face powder to do this? Miss B. T. Answer— the following method at bedtime. It is mild bleach and will lighten the freckles and whiten the skin considerably, though it will not remove freckles from some types of skin, especially the stubborn year-round freckles. Beat the white of an egg to a froth and mix it with an equal amount of oil of sweet almonds. After thoroughly cleansing the face at bed- time apply the mixture evenly and Teave it on overnight. In the morning pat on a little of the following lotion and allow it to dry on the skin: One ounce peroxide; one ounce Cologne water; one ounce glycerin: six ounces rosewater. Now as to powder, I think that you will find a shade of suntan face powder suited to your complexion or have your face powder blended to harmonize with your skin tints, Light or white powder only makes the freckles show up still more, while the creamy or medium suntan shades make them blend with the rest of the complexion. | LOIS LEEDS. | ht. 1930.)

It was my twelfth birthday, and my pocket was heavy with a birthday knife, just given me. I walked with a proud step through the Appalachian woods, bold as Robin Hood. Along the forest trall a country boy in ragged clothes came toward me, a great branch of dogwood over his shoul- der, a torch of white fire that he bore along with him through the pine woods. And then, as the popular song goes, my heart stood still. I asked him what it was and where he was going with it, lnd'hl told me that he was going to sell it. My hand went to my pocket. Not a dime or a nickel or a penny jingled there—only my knife. I drew it forth, gazed wistfully upon its shining steel wonders and bartered it for the ephem- eral loveliness of the flower. The country boy's eyes popped. He struggled, I think, to tell me that the bargain was unequal. I, too, knew it was preposterous. But the boy's cupid- Ity and my cupidity overcame us. e knife now thumped in his pockets; the dogwood trembled and laughed in my arms. When I got home, my family was ex- licit as to all the kinds of a fool I was. g‘hey knew right then I would never get rich. I was ashamed, and still am ashamed, of the bargain, but, like many other things in life, my shame did not imply much regret. Since that time I have made many & illgrimage to see the dogwood bloom. I En\'a missed few springtides. Lucky are we of Washington, for whom the dog- wood springs wild, and flashes through the woods of Rock Creek Park. In all the world, there is not a lovelier flower- ing tree. Even the royal poinciana of the tropics is not more enchanting, nor the cherry trees of Japan. The folk who sell the branches may own the trees and have every right to sell them. Or they may not; they may be thieving from some one's land or from the public’s common stock of scenic beauty. There is just one way, says the Wildflower Preservation Society, to deal with the problem, and that is to discourage the commercial destruction of this queenly flower by declining to buy. LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. I was going a errand this afternoon and Lucky Leroy Shooster was sitting on his frunt steps, me saying, Come on :uh us, Lucky, dont be such a lazy um. Being sippose to be more of & com- pliment than a insult, ony he took it more for a insult, saying, Whose a lazy bum, you funny looking dish of scram= bled eggs? Being a pure insult, so I had to in- sult him back, and we kepp on insult- ing each other a while and I went to the store and e back with diffrent things including a box of dry raisins. Giving me a ideer, and I opened the box of raisins and stopped in frunt of Leroys steps and started to eat them with a expression as if I was having the best time I ever had in my life, Leroy Shooster just sitting there looking at m~ without saying anything, and me Kkeeping on taking raisins out of the box and sticking them in my mouth without saying anything back, thinking, O boy, I bet his mouth is watering all rite, I bet he thinks he insulted the wrong person this time. ‘Wich just then his mother came out of the house with her hat on, saying, I wunt you to stay here till I come back, Leroy. Just look at Benny eating raisins, why cant 1 ever get you to eat raisins when you know their so good for you? If theres one thing Leroy wont eat under any circumstances, raw or cooked, its raisins, she sed. Me thinking, Heck, gosh shang the | luck. Me not thinking so much of dry raisins anyways. And I got the dooce and 3 slaps from ma when she saw how much there wasent left in the box. Proving theres no use trying to get even with a guy when he's naturally lucky.

FOR YOUR ROTECTION P Stamped With A Harmless Vegetable Colering-Approved By U.S. Department 04 Agricuiture SUB ROSA BY MIML As Emotional as Women, ‘Women have a reputation for nerves and temperament, but they can't beat men when it comes to such feelings. ‘Their nerves may have duller edges, like their old razor blades, but the valves of their hearts aren’t any too tight. | Emotion isn't just tears and tempera- ment. It doesn't begin with blushing or end with trembling. There are other forms of feeling and man has his share. ' When the nerves were handed out at the beginning, women didn’t grab all of them but left & lot for man, He may put | the damper on some of these, but he | opens the drafts on the others. | It's just as much a matter of emo- | tion when man laughs as when woman | cries. When she’s peevish, he's pro- fane. Yes, when it comes to the primi- tive emotion of anger man is right there with his cursory remarks. If you want to observe full sized, mas- culine emotions you have only to visit a base ball park or the Stock Exchange If there’s a home run, he throws his hat into the diamond. If stocks go up, all derbies are knocked into cocked i His yell makes you think the Govern- ment hasn't exterminated quite all of the Indians. A woman may be a little hysterical when she sees a mouse seeking the shel- ter of the skirts which are no longer there, but in a real crisis she’s likely to be steadier than a man. The difference between the emotions of the twain is that man’s are displayed in public, while woman’s are reserved for privacy. She puts on a smiling face plus a cer- tain amount of make-up when she’s in public, for she wants to reserve her sighs and_tears for the privacy of her boudoir. Her feelings are so personal that people have come to think that she’s nothing but emotion. ‘When it comes to the love emotion, you can't accuse man of being lacking. He gives demonstrations which would sell any car on the market. He's often a little ashamed of the way his finer feel- ings get the better of him, and tries to hide them under a cloak of roughness, but he has his love emotions which are more pronounced than those of woman. If we are going to compare the sexes along the lines of emotion we may say that man’s are a necessity while wom- an’s are more of a luxury. Man makes his feelings count in the form of en- thusiasm, party pride, salesmanship and lovemaking. ‘Woman is rather inclined to have her emotions as so much trimming or the meringue on the ple. She hasn't any more than man, but she makes her emo- tions more evident and more attractive (Copyright, 1930.) FEATURES. Remarkable Old Folks of History Plague Which Killed 50,000 in Venice Prevented Titian From Becoming Centenarian. BY J. P. GLASS. “HE FOUND THE PAINTER. THEN 89 YEARS OLD, BRUSH IN HAND, A1 WORK ON A CANVAS.” When Vasari, the Italian biographer, visited Titlan at Venice in 1559‘? he found the painter, then 89 years old, brush in hand, at work on a canvas. Seven years later Titian still was hale and hearty. He received many visits, including the cumbrous ones of royalty, wrote letters, superintended the activities of his pupils and continued to paint pictures. At 99, with a hand as firm and steady as ever, he gave the world an- other example of his art. It was his “Christ of Pity,” which he executed in the conviction that his days were | near their end. Titian offered the picture to the Franciscans for a tomb in the chapel | of the “Crucified Savior.” But, be- fore it was finished, he got into an argument with the brethren, which led him to stop work on it. He decided that he would be entombed in the chapel of his family Pieve, Death followed not long after. Titian was 99. Only a stroke of fate prevented him from passing the century mark—per- haps by several years. But in 1576 a terrible plague swept Venice. Fifty thousand of its inhabitants lost their lives. Among these was the greatest of all the Venetian painters, one of the supreme colorists of history. That the painter lived to so great an age seems to have been due to the possession of an extremely robust con- stitution. We are unable to conclude, the records of his life, that he made good health the aim of his exis- tence. Indeed, although he was not glven to great excesses, there are indi- cations that he did not always rise superior to his surroundings, and the Venice of his day was a city in which he was constantly subjected to tempta- tions not conducive to good health. Although he attained to wealth and luxurious living, his mind was not free from anxiety. He had domestic sor- rows and troubles. Death took from him a child, his wife, a sister, a broth- er and, finally, his lovely daughter La- vinia, whom he called “the dearest one to him on earth.” Titian seemed to have been a very selfish man. He was that sort of egotist who promises everything, but calmly forgets his promises if they interfere with more desirable plans. Perhaps this trait protected him from overindulgence, even though he spent his whole life in festive living and pleasant companion- ship. Certainly he did not adopt any rigid principles of health. His actuating motive seems to have been to obtain what he wanted, and to avold what he did not want. This may have aided him in warding off the dis- aster of ill health. (Copyright, 1930.)
