Homemaking—
Have Homemade Facials If Budget
Doesn't A
llow Trips to Beauty Parlor
IF THE HOUSEHOLD budget doesn’t allow the woman of the house
to trot off to the beauty shop for relaxing facials, there are homemade ones which she can concoct and apply herself. There are two rules which should never be varied in applying them:
1. Face and throat must be cleaned thoroughly before mask is applied. 2. While this is done, you should close your eyes and relax for five minutes. WHIPPED EGGS: Separate the yolk from the white of one small egg and beat each until foamy. Add a teaspoonful of lemon juice to the yolk and mix thoroughly. After washing, rinsing and drying face and throat, spread on a thin coat of the egg yolk and lemon juice mixture, let if dry, then smooth on a layer of whipped egg white. Let this dry. Add another coat of yolk and another of white. Now lie down and try to relax completely for a few minutes or until the mask hardens. Afterward, wash off with cool water and then rinse the skin several times in ice cold water.
Pat on your richest night cream, working it in with gentle, upward and outward strokes. Remove the excess and go to bed. Or else remove all of it and put on foundation lotion and makeup.

If you do not want your egg mask to be slightly bleaching. omit the lemon juice. If you want to do aj more thorough bleaching job, use two teaspoonfuls of lemon juice instead of one ALMOND MEAL: Mix a couple of tablespoons of almond meal with enough sweet milk to form a smooth paste. Apply a thin layer of this on clean skin, lie down and relax] until it is dry. Remove with luke-| warm water; rinse the skin with ice water: apply cream and leave it on for five or ten minutes. Remove and rinse again with ice water before applying makeup. LEMON MASK: For bleaching, cleanse skin with soap and water and rinse carefully. Pat on fresh, strained lemon juice and let it dry. Remove with ice water and apply] cream immediately. If the skin is particularly sensitive, it may be necessary to dilute the lemon juice with water. A lemon mask should not be applied oftener than twice 2 week. |

" Railroads Report Business Is Up
There are two large armies in the

It also seems certain that the summer vacation season that has had a traditional ending on Lanor Day will be extended far into the all. As an indication of the trend the Burlington Route has announced that two additional tours, leaving Chicago on Aug. 30, will be projected through Yellowstone Park, to the Pacific Coast, the Grand Canyon and Carlsbad Caverns. And more such trips seem likely,

Just north of Lake James in Steuben County, and on the line between Michigan and Indiana, is Lake George where the Hoosier Motor Club suggests a trip for a vacation or week-end. The lake is two-thirds in Indiana and the balance is in Michigan. It's big enough with a surface of about 1000 acres. The village of Jamestown is at the southwestern corner of the lake but the postoffice address is Fre-

Alter Fashion To Suit Self, Says Stylist
While Alicia Hart is on vacation, “Glorifying Yourself” will be written by a number of noted experts, one of whom is Bijie de Wardener. An internationally known faskion authority who is stylist for Jay Thorpe, New York. Mme. de Wardener spent 13 years in Paris as a
one of the famous Paris fashion houses. By MME. BIJIE DE WARDENER TO BE a “slave to fashion,” as the saying goes, is to defeat your
own beauty ends. All the cosmetic magic a woman may invoke to con-
of the new dresses with a high, throathugging neckline that points like an accusing finger at her weighty jawline. If you want
your clothes to enhance
your best features, adapt fashion to yourself instead of adapting
yourself to the | changing fash- | fon scene.

common beauty pitfalls. I have seen dozen of women clamor for a 15-inch hemline because it’s the currently fashionable one, without giving a single thought as to wheth-
I er or not the hem reaches their legs
at a becoming point or whether such a skirt-length is right for their proportions. | As for necklines, even if the plunging V is the vogue at the moment, women with long necks lang thin faces should not wear it, but should choose instead the flat- | tering softness of a round or gathlered collar or draped fullness around the base of the neck.
8 8 ” COLORS, too, are important when you are correlating your wardrobe with your beauty problems. Each | season sees a certain color played up to the hilt, but if it is not flat- | tering, you should steadfastly avoid lit. On the other hands, some hues
| which are notoriously “hard to wear” may be just right for your kin tone. If they are, it is worth the time to look for a dress in those particular colors or to have it made up. we in America are gradually coming to appreciate the custom which was responsible for the reputation of chic and elegance enjoyed by the Parisienne of more happy vears. A Frenchwoman, however limited her fashion budget, would consider several dresses and then plot with her dressmaker to combine the neckline of one, the bodice of another, the sleeves of a third —until she had a dress that she mew was becoming in every detail

SHE WOULD choose a fabric in a color which would flatter her as well as tie in with the rest of her wardrobe, and by the time it was finished she had a dress that paid generous dividends in enhancing her particular beauty assets. We can achieve the same effect by careful selection from among our lavish fashion output and the willingness to alter whatever feature of a dress is incompatible with your face or figure. If the rounded shoulder line tends to make you look hippy, skillful padding of the shoulders can remedy that situation. If the new tunic silhouette seems

Answer—If the girl is very young her mother is perfectly right in asking her not to go to the show at night by herself, but if she refuses her permission to go with you or any other suitable escort, she is wrong. Is it that you would like the girl to go to a show alone so that you could meet her there and thereby get to see her
oftener than the mother thinks you should? It is far better for you to go after what you Ask for more dates and be persistent

If so you are taking
about it, but don’t ask the girl to meet you somewhere at night.
DEAR JANE JORDAN—About eight months ago I met a fine
gentleman 60 years old and a widower.
I am a widow of 46. We
have kept steady company and have grown to care for each other. He continually says that I am too young for him and would soon
tire of him. He loves golf, shows,
and dances and one would think

two girls, both married; so there wouldn't be any hard feelings on
the children’s part if we married.
I am employed in a store where I come in contact with men

Do you think there I won't be happy without him
and after all at my age I think a woman has a pretty fair mind. I'm ready to settle down and be a good housewife and pal to a most W. N. G.
wonderful person. 2

Answer—Where people are mature and share the same interests, a difference of 14 years in their ages is no impediment to happiness. You don’t want to flit about like a giddy school girl, nor do you want a boy for a husband. What you want is a home and companionship. I imagine that you would be perfectly content with an
older man.
Perhaps he has some other less presentable fear which he conceals by showing anxiety about your age. He may feel inadequate to the situation financially, or he may be set in his ways and dread
the adjustment to another.
One thing is certain.
You can’t push
the matter but must let him get over the jitters in his own way.

There are some other tricks too, and a few rules like these that you follow: Discard all jars that are nicked at top or neck. Be sure every jar has a well-fitting cover, Wash jars, lids and new rubers in hot, soapy water and rinse well. Then sterilize glasses, jars and caps by placing them in a rack of cold water to cover, bringing water to boil and boiling for 10 minutes. Leave in water until ready to use. Never use once-used paraffin to seal preserves. Use new paraffin. Use new rubber rings every time.

Your Health
By JANE STAFFORD Science Service Writer YOU WOULD probably think that you were certainly well-fed if you ate as much as you wanted each day of meals made from the following diet list: Bread, butter, skim milk, cornflakes, roast beef (rib), baked potato, American cheddar |cheese, boiled or steamed polished rice, gelatin, apple jelly, canned string beans, canned carrots, canned peaches, canned pears, sugar, candy and cakes or cookies. These may not be your favorite foods, but they probably are not your idea of a “poor” diet that would lead to hidden hunger and malnutrition. This is the sort of diet eaten by thousands of American families, but is nevertheless a “poor” diet, unless the bread, cake and cookies are made of whole wheat or enriched flour, according to diet studies at the Mayo {Clinic just reported by Margaret Pewters, Dr. H. L. Mason, and Dr. G. M. Higgins.
2 ” 2 THE AVERAGE WEIGHT, after 18 weeks, of rats that ate this diet with their bread and cake made from ordinary white flour was only two thirds that of the rats eating this diet with the single difference that the bread and cake was made of whole wheat flour. Two other groups of rats that had the same diet with bread and cake from flour enriched with either thiamin (vitami Bl) or the thiamin and riboflavin (another B vitamin) fared better than those with the ordinary white flour bread and cake but not so well as the whole wheat flour group. The trouble with that diet list, which probably looks good enough to make your mouth water, is that it does not contain enough of the B vitamins for good health, strength, full efficiency and morale. It could be made into a good diet in various ways, but the simplest way would be to substitute whole wheat or enriched bread and flour for cakes or cookies.
