B—8 Wiflgned’ Women Who Drive Must Keep Looks Tripping Over World Should Not Stand in Way of Beauty. Editor's note—This is the first in a series of articles by Elsie Pierce, noted beauty authority, whose comments henceforth will appear daily in The Evening Star.. BY ELSIE PIERCE. 'HERE'S been an increase in the ‘% number of “Sunday drivers” (male and female) riding the roads and a sermon addressed to “Beauty on the Highway” is no longer a sea- sonal lesson—it applies the year ‘round. Women who are wise get all the fun out of life, go tripping over the | roadways prepared against irritating | dust, scorching sun, beauty-wrecking winds. At the end of the trip, be it 10 miles or 200 the wise one feels better and looks no worse. A friend of mine who is constantly on the go, and remains lovely to look at for all that, has turned one pocket of her car into a miniature dressing table. How her female riding com- panions bless her for it! She has a small kit equipped with cleansing lo- tion, foundation cream, cotton, tis- sues, dry rouge, a large compact with loose powder, lipstick for herself and a few tiny jars with lip rouge of dif- ferent shades for her friends, a few emory hoards, a little perfumed lo- tion for the hands and for herself even a few clean “hankys” and two fresh pairs of gloves. It sounds like a lot in the telling, but it really .is compact as can be. And the mere fact that she always arrives fresh and dainty at the end of a journey in- stead of looking a flushed, disheveled wreck of herself should be proof of the fact that the trouble is more than repaid. Before Starting. Before starting on the trip, pre- pare your skin. Cleanse thoroughly, apply a foundation cream, rouge and plenty of powder. Remember that powder acts as a barrier against dust and the elements. Use a little bril- liantine on the hair, set it and wear a hat that is snug without being | tight—snug enough to hold the curls | securely under the brim. Thin, non- | crushable dresses and long sleeves are best even on a warm day because the | arms are spared a crop of freckles and similar havoc. It is always wise to | take these preliminaries. Make-up lasts longer. Loveliness, too. | On the way. wnen necessary, stop | and cleanse the skin quickly. Note | that the preparations mentioned as WOMEN’ S FEATURES.

And now you've arrived still lovely to look at. Freshen up. Use your cold cream, cleansing cream or oil or liquid cleanser—not soap and water because the skin is bound to be slight- | ly irritated after a trip. Another thing—if you do the driving your- self, you may notice that one side of your face gets irritated or burned more than the other. Be just a bit more generous with your creams and protective powder to this sensitive | side. (Covyright. 1035.) Style Flash. LONDON (#).—The new gloves have : tiny pocket concealed in the gaunt- et. The Old Gardener Says: Garden makers who are en- tranced with the majestic beauty of the golden banded lily of Ja- pan (Lillum auratum) often start growing it with enthusiasm, only to meet with disappointment when the bulbs die out the sec- ond or third year without any apparent cause. The fact is that this lily is a very uncertain gar- den subject. Even experts are unable to keep it in their gar- dens for many years. Neverthe- less, the bulbs are worth growing it only for one good burst of bloom. and no amateur should hesitate to plant them this Fall. It will be wise to choose medium- sized rather than very large bulbs and to plant them fully 8 or 10 inches underground, a lit- tle protection being given them when Winter comes. (Copyright, 1935.) F YOU know how many frocks like this one will be packed away in important-looking trunks marked “Smith,” or “Vassar,” or “Michi- gan State College,” or “California Univ."—you might be surprised. For it is just the sort of thing the col- lege girl adores. No fuss about it, just a forthright little garment, smart and comfortable, and nice to hang her gay and festive scarfs upon. sometimes seems that the youth of America knows more about clothes than those who should have learned through years of experience. The young miss is quick to seize upon such simple fashions as this, knowing that it suits her active life, and is a perfect setting for her own charm | and vivacity. Moreover it is a good background for accessories, and she | knows how vital they are to the suc- cess of any outfit. It might surprise you, too, to know that the college girl loves to have a few cottons and linens in her school wardrobe. There are usually some pretty humid days at the beginning | of school, and besides she likes them for Saturday mornings, and for quiet hours of study, or just lolling about. So, be sure to tuck into her trunk some plain tailored things that will withstand the rather uncertain col- lege laundry. Jersey is again a favorite, and the new ones have been so fashioned that they are practically unstretchable, which is a boon. Oxford gray jer- | sey is as smart as it can be, and is BARBARA BELL, WASHINGTON STAR. Inclose 25 cents in coins for Pattern No. 1693-B.

BY BETSY CASWELL. seems to be a dearth of new, original pes here- I bout just at présent, judging from the flood of requests that have come in recently. Brain-fagged hostesses complain that literally there is nothing new under the sun along these lines, and they are getting pretty desperate gy« about the situa- tion. At this time of year, admittedly new and tasty combinations are hard to find. The weather is against little sausages or codfish balls or popcorn —even mushroom sand- wiches and fish pastes have more or less lost their allure. The cold, crisp and somewhat tangy appetizer is the best to choose, and variations of that are a bit difficult to concoct, after the old standbys of cheese and pickles have about exhausted their popularity. Some days ago in an article I gave several suggestions for the use of pickles as canapes, so to- day we must hunt further afield. * o ox ox SILVER bow! of mammoth black olives and radish roses, blanket- ed in chipped ice, is always refresh- ing to see and to taste. Thin, curled slivers of cucumbers that have been soaked In salted ice water also prove appetizing and cool. Try wrapping a small wedge of can- ned pineapple with a piece of bacon, set under the flame to broil, and then serve impaled on a toothpick—the flavor is deliclous and surprisingly novel. Stuffed celery is always welcomed as Betsy Caswell & canape, but be sure to serve tiny napkins with it, because the filling is apt to make fingertips a bit messy. Here is the best recipe for preparing stuffed celery that I know: STUFFED CELERY. Using the heart stalks of celery. choose the medium-sized ones, and soak in cold water for two hours. Dry well and fill with this mixture: Mash one-half pound Roquefort cheese with | one-half cupful cooking sherry, one teaspoonful table sauce, salt, pepper, paprika to taste and enough melted butter to make paste smooth. When stalks are filled, sprinkle with paprika, garnish with tiny sprigs of parsley and serve at once. * * % x CHIPPED beef may be used to good advantage as an appetizer. Sliv- ers of the beef, rolled over a tiny pearl onion, are good. The inevitable toothpick, of course, provides the Dorothy Man in Middle Thirties Apt to Prove Best Husband.

Melted snap- py cheese may also be used as & spread on the chipped beef, rolled and toothpicked, or a slice of the beef may be wrapped about wedges of swiss cheese, which have previously been rolled in mustard. CHUTNEY CANAPE. Spread rounds of toast with peanut butter. Chop crisp bacon fine, mix well with chutney and spread on top of the peanut butter. ‘TOMATO CANAPES.

Dix Says little shopworn. Whatever romance | and sentiment he started out with has {lost its freshness and luster and is i!rtnled around the edges and life ‘-wma him is likely to be a steady diet | of plain roast beef and boiled pota- toes. He has been everywhere and done | everything and seen everything and he | can’t understand why a wife wants to | step out and isn't satisfied to sit at home and hear him grumble about the stock market and complain about his rheumatism. And he has habits that are as firmly fixed as the Rock of Gibraltar and he can never under- stand why a wife who does her own work can't cook like a chef and give him the service that he got at a first- class club or hotel. So, being as how both youth and age jcheted or machine made. have faults that are peculiarly their own, if a girl is picking out a husband by his age, her best choice is the happy medium between the two. Say around the thirties, a little on the twenty side, perhaps. That is the ideal time for a man to marry, because at that young enough to be roman- t and yet old enough to er. He has known many women and escaped many matrimonial snares and when he marries & woman it is L:'flmumflmmhmdnuhmu to a wife. He has learned the value of teamwork and so he is pretty sure to do his part in helping to make his marriage a success. Hence, taking it all in all, the man around 30 is the preferred matrimonial risk. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright. 1935.)

A thin brown wool, two-piece dress Field of Feminine Activities Calls for Greatest Skin Care: Memorizing Makes Mind Storehouse Lines of Poetry and Prose Help Build Intelligence. BY ANGELO PATEL Now that there are long hours of leisure in which children are free to do things they cannot do in the school year it is a good idea to get them to memorize some fine lines of prose and poetry. They ought to have a store of fine things to call upon in conversation, in idle hours, in times of illness or for use when they are far from a reference library and need material. During childhood and youth—child- hood especially—memorizing is very easy. Children can learn quickly and * retain permanently long poems and paragraphs of prose. It is fine for their language because it gives them a high standard, a rich vocabulary and a background that enriches and stimulates their thinking and expres- sion. Those children who are silent and shy will get much pleasure out of the things they memorize. Such a background gives them confidence, |and so helps them to talk. It gives them something to say and something to say it with. Children who have memorized much good writing do better in composition | than those who recall none. Not that | they quote the material, but rather | that it colors and qualifies all they | write and all they say. Good writing is the overflow of a full mind. No | e=oression can come from an empty mind, and fine expression comes only when the mind overflows. Memorizing fine bits of literature is the best way | to start this process, and the best time is in childhood. Let the children have some good | verses. Milne and Stevenson are good | for a beginning. Let them chant the | verses aloud without suggestion of learning them. By chanting them this way again and again, they learn them easily. I would have the children learn the preamble to the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence and the | Gettysburg Address. Some national songs and some folk songs. Many children know the tunes, but few know the words. After the first verse of “America,” 1a, la, la, la, is about all | they can muster. Give them copies of | the songs and let them sing them through again and again, night after night, and they will know by the end of the Summer. These words are good and have meaning to American chil- dren, especially those of “America” and “America the Beautiful.” There is ~ | great satisfaction in knowing the date clothes and week end suggestions, | has a yoke and sleeve edging of brown | words of songs.

So you see everything fs pretty care- fully worked out for these very par- ticular young people, and the result is a most tempting array of outfits of every description that makes you feel that the college people have all the breaks when it comes to good-looking clothes at moderate prices. * X X x N ORDER to get started on this large subject, we might as well talk about the most useful everyday clothes | first. Here is where sweaters and | skirts are the outstanding choices, | closely followed by plain tailored | dresses in thin wool. The ratio is ugpally three sweaters to one skirt, and they may be hand knit or cro- At any rate, they will be colorful and con- trast with the skirt, which may be a gay plaid or a tweed. Sweaters in natural beige are new, and blend beautifully with the brown and green outfit, as well as with the rusty reds and browns. A contrast-| ing scarf will set off the natural sweater to advantage, and several scarfs will be a distinct addition to any college wardrobe, to afford va- T aty. The skirt of dark blue, with sweater of dark rose, is a favorite combina- tion for the blond, as is dark with light blue. Awfully good for the girl who does a lot of bicycling to and | from classes is a divided skirt of brown corduroy, worn with a yellow chamois jacket. Although these divided skirts were shown last year, they will increase in popularity this season, and are ideal for many pur- poses. The cowboy shirt in a natural flannel is smart, with a brown wool skirt, and in fact the variations on the two-piece theme are limitless. * ok ko WHEN it comes to the plain wool dresses, you will find corded rab. bit wool, in all the new renaissance colors, a wise choice. They will ap- peal to the person who pays the bills, as they are so inexpensive, and their well-cut simplicity immediately de- mands the attention of the college shopper. Buttoned all the way down the front, with the V-neck filled in with a contrasting figured silk scarf, two small triangular pockets on the waits and a tricky belt fastening, are the details, and the colors st i . o as beauty will com- n‘i d“i!‘lm\- of brilliants or touches of bright color in belt and collar. B A NEW slatey blue, called como blue in a sawdust crepe makes the most intriguing date frock with lots of pleating. It has a high, round neck, from ngck to waist. The sleeves are entirely pleated, with an elastic in the bottom, so that they may be pushed up to any desired length. The skirt is sunburst pleated and there is a wide crepe belt. This dress also comes in bright red and black at $16.95. Velveteen is one of the most popular materials of the Fall, and in the new | twill-back fine quality will give won- derful service. In a soit version of the shirtmaker frock, with four pock- ets, back yoke, sleeves wide through the elbow, and panel-gored skirt, it can be worn all day for classes, and quickly pepped up for tea with a lame scarf that matches the cylindri- cal gold buttons. It comes in a deep, rich burgundy at $12.95. ‘We have only just started to tell you about the delightful things for college “The day returns—" | Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Faults.
