IT’S YOUR OWN FAULT IF YOU’RE UGLY, ARTIST ASSERTS

Smartness Is Way Out ' of Defects 7 BY JULIA BLANSHARD NIA Serrtee Writer NEW YORK, March 27.—A woman has only herself to blame is she is ugly today. Clothes being the fine art that they are and a whole world of experts waiting to help women select them! That is the opinion of the interesting Reynaldo Luza, Italian artist, whose Parisian sketches appear in fashion magazines and who is visiting America now. Personally, Luza prefers a “socalled ugly woman who is attractive and smart to a pretty woman who isn’t.” Smartnes* Most Important Being smart, of course, is the way out of ugliness, according to Luza. This entails faultless costuming, meticulous, grooming, poise and a certain pleasing individuality. “Smartness, or ‘chic,’ as the Parisians call it,” Luza explained, “is a process of cultivation of taste. The clothes a woman picks are the exterior sign of its culmination.” The day is gone when the woman with no particular good features or even with bad features need stay at home and mourn them, according to Luza’s opinion. The vogue of smartness came as their salvation. Today the woman who causes the most flutters of envy in feminine breasts when she enters a room Is not the pretty one, but the smartly gowned and groomed woman! Faults Can Be Blessings If you have too heavy a face, too high a forehead, too large a nose something can be done to counterbalance the faults or even make them blessings of individuality, in disguise, Luza thinks. He has seen too many ravishingly smart women and knows too much about fashions not to appreciate how some of these smart women got so chic! Here are a few pointers he reluctantly gave, for he believes no woman can arrive at smartness by set rules but by individual experiment. If you have a big nose, don’t wear the small, smart, back-on-the-hair hats. There are plenty of other chic shapes that will become you and not high-light your nose. If you have ugly legs, wear dark stockings, good ones; wear your skirts longer. Use Caution With Colors If you haven’t any idea what colors to wear, stick to black or white or black and white, if you would be wise, because, “You have no idea how predominating these color combinations are among smart women on the continent,” he added, “for they are so universally becoming.” But—why not try to analyze your coloring, your figure, your type? Save a nest egg and go to some reliable couturier and get one perfect outfit, one that is absolutely flattering, one that you feel at home in. Use it as a guide until you discover other lines and combinations of colors that bring out your eyes. Show Your Hair ts your forehead is high and not lovely, show your hair. If you have large ears, cover them and don’t wear jangling earrings. Above all, it is a mistake to wear a gorgeous pair of earrings that add nothing to your appearance. Just because they are heirlooms! Asa little help in selecting colors with which to experiment Luza gives these hints: Dark women, brunets, can wear Strong colors, red, orange, blackwhite combinations, oriental designs of gold. Blondes can look divine in pastels, white, silver, black and white and white. Red-haired women are the easiest to pick things for, because the odd greens, the lovely blues, often certain pinks, are daring but tremendously successful. Men Notice Hats Most “Sometimes women with little money know what to buy and what to wear and they are successes.” Luza explained. “It is a mistake to buy pretty things just because they appeal to you. It is much harder to pick up clothes that make you look your best self. “Since women dress for men, I think most men pay attention to hats and the way a woman wears her hair almost first of all,” he explained. “Therefore the choice of coiffures and hats is very important to a woman’s whole line of beauty of smartness.” Last, but not least, Luza would advise women in quest of chic to go easy and carefully on accessories. mount Holyoke CLUB CONVENES The Mount Holyoke Club met at 8 Thursday at the home of Mrs. Robert Sinclair, in Golden Hill. Mrs. Hewitt Rosenstiel, an alumna of the college, who is in Indianapolis to attend the convention of the Indiana League of Women Voters was guest of honor.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Grapefruit Is Spoiled in Handling

BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer Sometimes the unpopularity of certain fruits and vegetables can be traced to careless handling in their preparation. This is especially true with grape fruit. There is a bitter oil found in the rind and pith of this citrus fruit that changes the flavor oi the pulp if allowed to come in contact with it. The oil in the skin is quite apparent and therefore easily guarded’ against, but few cooks realize that the thin membranes which surround each section of pulp secrete his same bitter substance which is released whenever they are cut. Consequently, two steps usually taken in preparing halved grape fruit are better left undone—removing the core and cutting the pulp from the rind. Flavor Is Harmed Both these methods harm the flavor of the fruit by freeing the bitterness in the pitch and allowing it to permeate the pulp. A strong, sharp-edged teaspoon can be used to loosen the fruit enough so that it can be scooped out easily and eaten. The amount of sugar used over grapefruit is, of course, a matter of personal taste. But some very particular persons use a dash of salt and no sugar at all. Try using sugar very sparingly, if it must be used, and take care that none is sprinkled over the pith of the core and the pith of the rind. The flavor of all citrus fruits deteriorates if the cut fruit is allowed to stand any length of time, or is exposed to the air before using. The custom of preparing the breakfast grapefruit the night before may save time in the morning, but the fine flavor of the fruit is lost. When chilled fruit is wanted, either chill the fruit thoroughly before cutting or serve on a bed of ice. The edible fruit should never be covered with ice any more than other fruit should be. The delicate flavor of all fruits is diluted by this practice. Prepared for Salad When grape fruit is wanted for salad, it is best prepared in the following way: Wash fruit well before cutting. Cut in halves, cutting lengthwise. Then with a sharp knife cut the membrane from the pulp and pull each section from the rind. Grape fruit combines well with crisp shredded cabbage, sliced Spanish onion, diced celery, shredded green pepper, white grapes or apricots. A dinner salad of grape fruit and head lettuce with French dressing always is acceptable. Grape fruit sections and French endive served with a Roquefort cheese dressing make a delicious salad.

Get the genuine tablets, stamped with the Bayer cross. They are of perfect purity, absolute uniformity, and have the same action eveiy time. Why experiment with imitations costing a few cents less? The saving is too little. There is too much at stake. But there is economy in the purchase of genuine Bayer Aspirin tablets in the large bottles.

Just Every Day Sense

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

ARKANSAS and Idaho are considering bills for easy divorce, such as Nevada has had for years. It would not be at all unreasonable for every state to pass such laws, since one is permitted to do it. The rich have for a long time rushed to Paris or Reno for their divorces. Is it just to compel the poor to live together because they can’t scrapie up the price to travel into far places? The methods of procuring divorces i nthis country are farcical and ridiculous. They will always be that until we have a uniform law. We should decide what we want, easier or harder divorce conditions, and then set about to outline a universal and simpler statute that would work the same way in every corner of the land. St St tt THERE are good arguments on both sides of this question.

But obviously we never can make a rule so good that it will please everybody. Unquestionably there are instances when two people who love each other obtain a divorce quickly under the stress of anger, whose lives are ruined by such a course. Then, too, I personally know a quarrelsome and childish couple who have been divorced and remarried four times. You can’t make sensible laws for such foolish people and there’s no use trying. But *at least we could put this divorce business on a dignified plane. The idea of women having to run off for a six-month stay in Reno or Boise City or Little Rock is too ridiculous. It makes us appear moronic. If we must have divorces, let’s fix things so we can get them at home with a certain amount of common sense and rational behavior. Nor do I see any reason for jumping on Arkansas for what one editor calls “cutting in on Reno’s business.” Arksans needs the money. This is a drought year. Anyway, lots of the folks in that stricken area haven’t enough money to get to Reno. They need succor, too. Mrs. Osborne to Entertain Mrs. I. F. Osborne of the Marott will entertain her section of the American Association of University Women at bridge today on the mezzanine at the Marott.

Contests at Butler university constantly are creating suspense among the co-eds. The current race among the “Butler belles” is for prom queen.
