WOMEN’ Sidelights Skillin Eye Make-upIs Important Blonds Especially in| Need of Delicate Touches Daily. BY LOIS LEEDS. WATCB those eye wrinkles, now that Summer is in full swing! The sunshine is stronger now than it was some months ago. There are hot winds that dry the ckin and thus give the creases a chance to become deeper. Vacation pursuits take most of us outdoors now more than we have been accustomed to. There is & glare in the road, on landscape, on buildings, pavements, water and beach which makes us squint involuntarily. Those who drive cars without any eye protection cannot help screwing up their eyes or frowning, partly to shut out the glare, partiy from nerv- ous strain. The second essential is to give reg- ular local treatments to the wrinkles. Unless your skin is quite oily, use an oily cream on the crcased places, leaving it on over night. If your complexion is dry, have an oil facial treatment every week also. If your eyes feel at all tired at the close of the day, use warm compresses on them moistened in an eye lction or witch hazel. This will help the tiny mus- cles to rela: Eye exercises are helpful in reliev- ing the feeling of strain caused by holding them in one position too long. The movements are simple. Their purpose is to stimulate circulation and strengthen the muscles. For one exercise, stand erect, breathe deeply. Imagine you are standing in a large hoop that is taller than you are. Look up without moving your head and let vour eyes travel alonz the circumfer- ence of the hoop. Start first to the right, then to the left Eye exer- cises should be done slowly and not too often at first. For another exercise focus your eves on a far and a near point alter- nately. For the latter point hold a pencil at arm’s length in front of you and focus on the end. Now look out of th: window. Green is restful to the eyes—especially the green of nature. Green is also a good color for interior decoration. It looks cool and makes a good background for splashes of gay colors. Eye make-up is more important for blonds thar for brunecites. Pale eye- brows and lashes detraci considerably | from the charm of a [ace, especially if the complexion has become tanned. While the blond does not want to look madc up about rer eyes, she coes need to use some color. Holly- wood bloads use a Jelicate penciled | line along the rim of the lower eyelid as well as touching up the upper lashes. Medium brown i the correct shade and eyebrows and lashes should be touched up if they need it. The nittle hairs should be kept well groomed and glossy by daily brush- ing. Young girls shouid be particu- larly careful not to use too much eve make-up. some faces. The girl in her teens is most charming when her beauty is or appears to be quite natural. (Copyright. 1935.)

A long time ago some primitive | lady tied a length of fabric | around her waist, and liked the effect, | and the idea has persisted. Of course, it has gone through a process of so- and the dhoti have been adapted | only slightly for the current evening | mode, the day-time wrap-around has become formalized, and bears only a faint resemblance to its long-de- parted ancestor. The design today has some ex- | tremely interesting details. The side | | closing goes clear up to the neck- | | line, where it is concealed by the lit- | tle-boy collar. Three big buttons ap- pear at the center front of the blouse and on the belt. It is noted about town that most belts are trimmed in some such manner, becoming an im- portant part of the costume, instead of merely an equatorial line dividing blouse and skirt. Sleeves are big, puffy things, either pushed above the elbow, or long, neatly cuffed at the wrist. There is a demand just now for the simple sports frock with long sleeves. The reason is not very clear, but the eternal variability of the female na- ture is probably at the bottom of it. The season suggests short sleeves, and a great many women want long ones, 50 here are both! There are the first cool days of Fall to consider, too, and this dress would be perfect for that time. Wash silk is nice for this model, crepe or shirting. Some cottons would be perfect, gingham, seersucker or linen of the lighter weights. Two- color effects are very popular, or white trimmed in a bright color, and, in this case, buttons are the contrasting note. Normandie blue with bright, rather light red buttons is a nice com- bination; pink, with dark, winey red; white, with bright green, or blue or red.

BY BETSY CASWELL. OW is the time to think about your Fourth of July dinner, with its menu, and its table decorations—that is, of course, if you are not joining the vast army of pleasure seekers that heads out of town for the duration of the holiday. Maybe you like to picnic—then this article is not for you. Perhaps, be- ing a holiday, you prefer to have your main meal in the middle of the day, and a cold supper that evening—or you may like to sleep late, and combine breakfast and lunch into that delightful meal, brunch, and have your big dinner at night. In either event, your dinner table should be set with an eye to empha- sizing the Independence day motif. Most housewives will welcome this, for women realize the importance of variety in their decorative scheme to lend added charm to meals, and on the average day there is apt to be a sad lack of inspiration. Red, white and blue, of course, must dominate the scene. At this time of | year, that color combination is easy to achieve, with very little expendi- ture. For instance, your centerpiece might consist of a flaring, shallow | bowl, half-filled with water, in which | floated the heads of red and white | carnations and blue corn flowers, | placed in circles of alternating color. ; 1If you like, you could pack the flower | heads so tightly that a real flag‘tould | be formed in the center of the bowl, | with the edges outlined in shiny green leaves. Betsy Caswell. LI \‘ANOTHER idea for the Glorious | Fourth centerpiece would be a | mound of dark red cherries, washed | and polished to a beautiful luster, | heaped on an oval or oblong crystal dish. In a line, running lengthwise of the mound, alternating stripes of white carnations and blue corn flow- ers could be arranged, with the stems of the flowers stuck so deeply into the fruit that only the flowers them- selves are seen nestled against the red. This arrangement has added | eaten later on! If you use one of the new and truly fascinating “bubble bowls” on your | table, fill it half full of water, and | float & primly tied little bunch of red and white carnations and blue | corn flowers in the center of it. arrangements for formal dinners, and this may be accomplished in the proper color scheme by using tall white stock, red gladioli, blue corn- flowers and gypsophilia in a crystal or silver bowl. The traditional combina- tion of poppies, daisies and corn- flowers are also good when used in this way, but the effect is apt to be Dorothy HE great mistake that the young people of today make is in thinking that they can out- smart life. They believe that they can have what they want with- out striving for it, that they can dance without paying the piper. I get hundreds of letters from boys and girls protesting at my old-fash- ioned recipes for attaining happiness by right living and for achieving suc- cess by industry and frugality. “Those rules may have worked well enough in the past,” these youngsters write me, “but everything is changed now. We are not going to slave as our fathers and mothers did. We are not going to wait until we are old to get enough money together to enjoy ourselves and have what we want. We are going to take our pleasure now while we are young.” IN A WORD, modern youth believes that it can upset the law of cause and effect; that it can make a fortune by some painless process that does not involve labor or interfering with one’s amusements, and that it can eat, drink and be merry without suffering from any subsequent headache. All of which would be perfectly lovely if only it worked out that way. But it doesn’t. It is only the out- side that has changed. Underneath things are eternally the same. We must still buy our heart’s desire with our heart’s blood. We must still reap as we have sowed. There is no way in which we can outsmart life and get something for nothing. TAxl health, for instance. Nature put & price-tag on that long ago. She said the cost of that was mod- eration in eating and drinking, in getting plenty of sleep and rest, in proper exercise and suitable clothing. The young laugh all of these simple old rules of hygiene to scorn. Obey them? Huh, not they. ‘They would live on cocktalls. They would smoke like furnaces. They would dance and carouse all night and get along with a couple of hours’ sleep. They would dare zero weather with only a few wisps of chiffon to protect them from the cold. And they would continue to be strong and well and husky. | value in that the cherries may be | Some people prefer tall and feathery | Blasted Lives Bear Testimony That Rules Have Not Changed. : Nation’s Day of Many Tradi- a little more ragged than the other, and, perhaps, is not quite as handsome. * X ¥ % FOB something really novel, pretty and amusing, especially for the buffet type of meal, a white pottery platter, heaped with raw vegetables is delightful. Wash and polish the vege- tables until they glow like jewels and use dark shiny leaves to set off their lovely colors. Beets and white turnips, or red tomatoes and polished onions, with cornflowers furnishing the needed blue are very effective, and have the advantage of being “different.” Or a very white head of cabbage might be surrounded with a ring of tiny beets and radishes, cut Mto roses and inter- | spersed with cornflowers. A firm, small head of caulifiower might be utilized in the same manner, as a central base, with tiny red roses and | cornflowers stuck all around the edge of the head between the flowerettes | and the protective green leaves. | As to the rest of the table—there | your imagination may run riot. Pro- | viding tiny boutonnieres of cornflowers | and red and white rambler roses, tied | with patriotic ribbon for each guest is always a charming touch. Many | of the shops have red, white and blue | candles made especially for the Fourth, or you may prefer to use one candle in each shade to complete the en- semble of your candelabra. i * ok ox | LAST year one clever hostess who was giving her big party in the! middle of the day, and therefore did not wish to use candles, adorned her | table in quite a novel manner. She had a pair of lovely four-branched | candelabra, into which she fitted white candle ends, cut off level with the sconce. She sharpened the stafls of eight little flags to a point and thrust them deep into the candle! ends so as to keep the flags gayly upright. The effect on the table was | festive to a degree. and so simple that every woman guest wondered why she hadn't thought of the idea ages ago! Red, white and blue mints. found in most stores now, answer the candy problem nicely, and the tablecloth may either be crepe paper, in appro- priate coloring and design, with nap- kins to match, or strips of red and | white damask cloth. If you like bet- cloth, these may be easily and effec- tively made out of dark blue card- board. edged with red paper, and sprinkled with white paper stars. For the younger generation, of | course, there may be favors and snap- | pers in the form of firecrackers, can- |non or *“Uncle Sam” hats: tiny | drums and little silk flags may also be used as added decoration.

I’l' I8 literally true that there are tens of thousands of young men who expect to make a fortune with- out laboring for it. They scorn any position under that of bank president and depend on some get-rich-quick scheme to put them in the millionaire | class. And when this doesn't happen | they become parasites upon their par- | ents, or dole takers, and spend their time railing at the capitalistic system.

The suit at the left of the sketch is one of these, in a very unusual novelty weave woolen mixture of rich brown and Nght beige, with fringed collar, interestingly cut sleeves and pockets, and its own | blouse of brown matelasse with heart- | shaped pockets that surely would ap- | peal to the bride.

A good-looking three-piece black and white ensemble has a raglan salt- and-pepper weave coat lined with | black over & suit with short jacket of a slightly different weave. This jacket has four pockets and a scarf and handkerchief of scarlet, also a narrow black leather belt, but the coat is so well fitted that it looks just as well without the belt.

POST—When arriving at & movie does a girl walk into the lobby to wait for her friend who must stand in line to buy his tickets?* Answer—Yes. Or possibly if the line is very long she stands beside him until he is fairly close—within six or eight of the window—and she goes slowly into the lobby and waits for him. “Dear Mrs. Post—Should a coupie sit opposite at a restaurant table, cr next to each other?” Answer—Opposite at a small nar- row table; next to each other at a big round or square table. “Dear Mrs. Post—How can I show a young man I like very much that I also like a man to look well groomed? ‘There is nothing a girl likes less than being told that some one she cares for is ‘sloppy.” He is very kind and speaks five languages and is a gentleman ex- cept in his carelessness of dress.” Answer—I don't know, unless by persistently praising the smartness or neatness of this man and the other, | you can make him gradually aware of | his own shortcoming. “Dear Mrs. Post—I went to see an 5ld aunt and uncle with my two broth- | ers, and while we were there an elder- ly man came to call.
