I Why Grow
j
i
By Josephine Lowmon
Q. “I am all mixed up about
how to apply rouge. I have a very
short, wide face and some one told
me to place tne rouge at the out
side near the temples. I look bet
ter without any coloring than this
way. What is wrong?”
A. You are doing it Just back
wards. Rouge emphasizes the spot
in which you place it. Therefore
when you put it far away from
the nose, it makes the face look
wider. You are following the rule
for the thin face. Place the rouge
close to your nose, or .toward The
center. This will slim it.
Q "Is there any remedy for
‘furrows’ or frowning lines? This
spoils many otherwise lovely faces.
Lubricating creams are of no
I avail.”
A. It doesn't do much good- if
you lubricate the skin and then
continue frowning. Break your
self of this habit. Watch it con
stantly. It may inhibit your per
sonality for a time but soon you
will lose the habit. Apply an oily
cream at night and massage along
the line. Wipe the excess cream
off and smooth the furrow out,
afterwards applying one of the
paper or rubber wrinkle-removing
adhesives now available. Lea e
it on all night. You will greatly
minimize the line if you do this.
Q. “I would like to know how
to darken my eyebrows. My hair
is blond and my eyebrows are al
most white.”
A. Use an eyebrow pencil in
brown. Use short feathery strokes,
not a dark line. Of course jou
can have the brows dyed but If
you do be sure you have a compe
tent operator and take an allergy
test first.
Q. "I have been a reader of your
column for quite a while and I am
sending you my measurements
and would like for you to tell me
if I am correctly proportioned I
am 14 years old; 5 feet, 1 inch
tall, and weigh 92 pounds. My
bust measures 32 inches; waist,
22*4 inches, and hips, 31 inches.”
A. You are underweight and
should gain about 10 pounds any
way. Your proportions are all
right. Gain this weight for
health’s sake. You probably also
will look lovelier.
Q. ”1 am 42 years old and my
nusband says I lock older when
I lift my head because the skin
under my chin pulls tightly. What
can I do?”
A. I belong to the "head back”
school of thought about the chin
line. The spine settles and short
ens as we grow older and the mus
cles atrophy without exercise. I
advise you to do this exercise.
Sit in a chair, or stand erect.
Lower you head backward as far
as you can, feeling the full under
your chin. Raise your head and
tuch your chi nto yout chest

Sandwiches
Rye bread or pumpernickle
sandwiches, are delicious with* a
filling that features ripe olhws,
ham and cottage cheese. To ihake
it, measure about three-quarters
cup of the olives, then cut the
olives from the pits in rather large
pieces. Mix the olives with three
quarters cup of ground cooked
ham, three-quarters cup of
creamed cottage cheese and may
onnaise or creamy salad dressing
to taste. These amounts will
make about one and three-quar
ters cups of sandwich filling.
Sandals for—
Cool Comfort
By Eleni
Fashion Mltor
:
Those women who wore
golden sandals last sum
mer weren't being so new
about it! The Emperor
Nero wore gold sandals,
although he made his
wife, Empress Poppaea,
stick to silver.
Sandals are one of the
oldest coverings for the
human foot. They are
also about the simplesffh
des ign, being based pri
nrkjrily on the idea of a
sole attached to the foot
byk leather thongs.
Climate dictates to,.a.4
large measure a
many of the fashions that
are popular in a city.
Washington's humid sum
mers seem ideally suited
for the wearing of this
type of shoe.
Our pictured sandals
ore designed by Bernard
Rudofsky, architect turned
shoe designer, who be
lieves that women should
go back to nature and give
it a chance to restore
health and beauty to the
feet. His sandals are
created on a new prin
ciple that allows the foot
complete freedom and
flexibility and reveals its
beauty. If you have
beautiful feet then these
so/idals are for you. * If
you possess not-so-beau
tiful feet there are also
sandals to help bring your
feet back to their nat
ural beauty* Another
point in the sandals' favor
is that they are versatile
little things that may be
worn with swirling skirts
or bathing togs.

Bossy
Child
By Angelo Patri
Pete Is 8 years old. He Is
healthy, bright and active. With
older people he gets along nicely,
especially if they are doing some
thing to which he can lend a
hand. When father is cleaning
the car he stays by to hand what
ever is needed and do a good Job
of polishing. His teachers liks
him but his playmates don’t.
There is sure to be a scrap when 1
he joins the game.
When somebody interferes and
says, “Stop this fighting. Can’t
you play even one game without
getting into such an argument
that the whole neighborhood is
upset? Either play or get into the
house.”
“It's Pete. He always wants to
boss everybody.”
“ ’Tis not. I only want to play
fair and you cheat every time.”
There is nothing to do but take
Pete into the house and scold and
scold and point out how he will
never have any friends, etc., etc.
Then Pete sees a neighbor raking
the lawm and asks if he can go i
help. There is peace in Pete’s I
quarter for the rest of the after- 1
noon. !
Boys of 8 and 9 do more quar
reling, more arguing about a game,
go into more huddles and yelling
each other down, than they play.
They have not yet reached the
place where they can understand •
organized play in which the indl- 1
vidual is subordinated to the team.
Pete probably is ahead of them ,
there and the two ways of think- j
ing do not harmonize. Pete does
well when the activity is ordered,
organized and the workers know J
where they are going and how
they are to get there.
Until the other boys reach Pete’s
stage of growth or he far outdis
tances them and works into an
other group of boys whose devel
opment equals his oWn, there will
be this trouble with Pete. It is
better to direct him to those with
whom he can work harmoniously
than to try to force him into co
operation with those he has out
distanced.
Children are happiest when
they fit into a group, but because j
each grows at his own rate of J
speed there will be odd ones who, I
at some period of their lives, do !
not fit in. Instead of trying to
force them to slow down or speed i
up, it is best to withdraw them j
and try to fit them into the group I
with whom they are in accord. I
