Daily Routine Is Important Thing in Beauty Work BV ALICIA HART VK.A Service Staff Writer AS far as beauty routines are concerned, habit is the important thing. A good cream used night after night, month after month, wull do yAur skin more good than several kinds, applied only now and then. No cream can do the work it's supposed to do during one application. Or ten, for that matter. It is regularity that counts. Speaking of habit, intelligent loyalty to preparations that have served you well is an excellent idea. The woman who buys a jar or bottle of every new cosmetic that pops up on the market not only is being extravagant, but the chances are she'll never get much good out of anything. Her dressing table always will be clutterpd with various half-empty containers she seldom touches but hates to throw away because thov were expensive. Furthermore, she'll never be satisfied with her beautv treatments. When you have found a lipstick that is the right color and which wil stay on your lips for hours and hours, why discard it the minute you catch sight of anew variety in a different looking case? Os course, if the new type is more satisfactory! this is a good idea. If it isn't better! a change is sidy. Remember, too. that it is better to have one really good cream than three or four mediocre, ineffective ones. If you are a one-creain girl, pick an all purpose cream which you believe will cleanse and nourish your skm and keep thp pores small as well. Use it before you go to bed every night of your life, no matter where you are or how tired you are. Get a rouge that blends easily and !<=arn where to apply it. Then smooth it on the same wav on the same spots day after day. it should match your natural skin tones, of course—not your dress, bag. shoes or whatever.

Melvin Lost utter Describes Work in Writing Novel, ‘High Fever’

The process of creating a novel was described by Melvin Lostutter, editor of the Columbus Evening Republican and author of “High Fever.” a Harper prize novel, at a luncheon meeting of th° Woman's Press Club of Indiana yesterday at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. | “After deciding on the characters ; the incidents came when I started to write; the high spots came from the fever of writing,” he ‘explained. Mr. Lostutter, introduced by Toni Elrod, explained how he was inter- ! ested primarily in the post-war dec- | ade and decided that the sales promoter was the typical character of the period. After he decided to work a rum runner into the plot, he came to the problem of how to carry the characters from one racket to another. He decided that talk was needed to do this. He chose an idealistic minister to talk for these movements and to provide a means of measuring the promoter and other characters against an idealistic type. The colorful period in the story came, he pointed out, with the con- ! flict of the characters with each! other and their environments. “Rewriting was important to me,” ; he said. “When I read what I had written to myself, I caught myself in repetitions and awkward phrases. A good novel should carry a wide

ly believe it is the last thing in the world you w r ant them to do. If this seems incredible to you, which no doubt it does, look to your day dreams for a clue. Since every one indulges in these waking phantasies by way of compensating for an unsatisfactory reality. of course you do. too. Do you ever dream of yourself knocking an audience cold with a solo concert, by a brilliant speech, by your dancing, your figure in a bathing suit, or any other form of personal exhibition? If you are scandalized by the forms your dreams take when you are asleep or awake, you will struggle all the harder to prove yourself shy and retiring, but at times your buried desire for more than your share of attention will make you attract it in spite of your coru>"ious efforts to hold yourself in c.ieck. Naturally this is only a guess, but if you give it some thought you ? e like ly to find that .L is a fair’good guess. If you decide it is orrect, at least in part, the cure s in finding legitimate avenues or personal success. Your music is one. You can find plenty of other chances to shine before your companions. Usually, when we repress a desire so diligently it is because we were restrained from doing something shocking when we were very little. The experience somehow becomes embalmed and preserved in the personality. Once in a while it struggles for expression again. Your cue is not to put such a severe check on your own exhibitionism but to guide it into socially acceptable channels. Recognition of a difficulty brings it up within conscious control. No one can handle an unknown adversary successfully.

Dear Jane Jordan—l have been having dates with a girl who makes a squabble when I don't help her on and off with her coat once in a while at a show. Do you think she should make a fuss about a thing of that sort, particularly when I treat her as a gentleman should in every j other respect? Also, the other day I picked her up at work on a rainy day and took her to a corner drug store to wait j for a bus and she considered that' an insult. I had other things to do before- the stores closed and could not take her home. What do you think? R. C. H. Answer—l am in sympathy with her in her insistence on good manners. They require little effort mid yield big dividends. If your errands were important and could not be postponed until a day when the weather was fair, then your girl friend was unreasonable. If i they were not important, then you j were inconsiderate and selfish.

i Your Child Legislation Affecting Children Enacted During Last Century

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON SOME interesting facts published in the bulletin of ihe Children’s Bureau are quoted from its publication “Children's Progress.” They show that children as an entity in our national life had not much place before the past century and point out the slowness with which some of the fledgling movements have developed to what they are today. Xhc report reads, in part: “In 1833 the case of the juvenile delinquent was simple. He was admonished and flogged, and if this treatment was not effective he went to jail and there learned from older criminals the refinements of lawbreaking. Children as young as eight yea: sos age were tried in ordinary courts and sentenced as if they were- responsible adults. “About 1800 the first cottonspinning factories were established and they employed many young children, even children under 10, and hours of work in the early mills were from sunrise to sunset. “Organized child-placing in foster homes date; from 1853 in New York, and in 1887 Massachusetts began to pay board .for children in homes. “A private institution for cripples was opened in 1363 but not until 1897 was there any state legislation to aid crippled children. “Ohio established the first State institution for blind children in 1837. One of the first institutions for the blind was the Perkins Institution at Watertown, Mass., opened in 1832. Every state now tries to prevent much blindness by provision for protection of babies’ eyes at birth. “In New York a consultation center for mothers and children was established in 1889. and the first milk station in the United States in 1893. “Connecticut, Vermont and Massachusetts led in legislation making phvsical examinations and health inspection compulsory for public school children. “Before the Civil War State Legislatures paid little attention to child workers. After the war State bureaus were established to collect labor statistics and enforce labor laws. The bureaus reported children as young as seven working long hours and people “• _.'u to demand laws limiting a child’s .rking day. “Boston pioneered in providing

In 1907 the Playground Association of America held its first convention.” The pamphlet stresses the proqress made, but adds that “much remains to be done before every child has anything like a fair start in life. One hundred and fifty thousand babies, for instance, die each year, before they reach their first birthday.” “Wo need to go further,” it admonishes, “in the conservation of child life, in the care of the handicapped child, and the prevention of dependency and delinquency.” I am sure we all agree that there is much yet to be done.
