WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—The next blond who pats | my smooth-shaven cheek, I bet, never pats another. | I've got invisible whiskers.
From the Boston manufacturer, by way of the i New York distributor, I have received a jug of beard l banisher, carnation flavored. Barbers and blonds, k take warning. ! Razor blade makers, switch over now to putty I knives. Shaving cream factories, your only chance to | save your corporate skins lies in laundry soap. f Whisker paint, the agent says, is about to start a | tonsorial revolution. This mask for mustaches and shroud for side ' whiskers is a sweet-smelling goo the éolor of sunburned flesh. The directions say rub it well into the f beard. This paints face and whiskers to match and | causes the unshaved ones immediately .to resemble ! freshly barbered natives of Miami. 1 have tried this magnificent preparation and TI 8 regret to report there have been complaints. My bride - says it makes me look like a plump mummy | from an Egyptian tomb. She says she'd rather dance cheek-to-cheek with a freshly painted park bench; | mot so splintery.
Can't Get 'Em Out THE WASH-WOMAN adds that mysterious, peachcolored streaks have appeared on my collars. Scrub as she will, she can’t get 'em out. These are minor matters such as plague every pioneer; people laughed at the Wright brothers too. . Only serious objection I have found to whisker paint ' is that it has no shaving effect on growth. When invisible whiskers have sprouted for a week.
they look peculiar, though pink, like threads of skin hanging from the chin. “Ghastly,” was the word used at my house. The solution is a horse clipper, used once over lightly every Saturday night. I do not know why so many people are interested in improving my appearance, though I did appear once by mistake in a newsreel. That may explain my receipt from the West eoast-of a new kind of dentifrice. Pastes and powders, I guess, are out now. So is

Go to work on this with a | toothbrush and you feel like a billposter trying to paste up a 12-sheet with a mascara brush, When | finally you get rid of the foam you can be dead | certain your teeth are clean. I tried out my new electric tooth brush, presented by still another well-wisher, at the same time. The! brush was buzzing, the pill was foaming, the bristles | were vibrating 1000 times a minute. | Half way through this job a mysterious accident occurred. There was a small blue flash, a slightly odor of smoke from the motor in the handle, and no more buzz. The woman who promised to love, honor and obey took a startled look. “Rabies,” she said. Guess I don’t beat her enough,
HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 24—Have you heard, about “back interest?” It's the latest thing in fashions, Paramount fashjon designer Edith Head tells me. The idea,” Edith t said, is that fashionably dressed ladies should ‘look “exciting” from the rear, too. | “So,” said Edith, “we are dressing up their derrieres with drapes and bows and pleats, A woman has never looked pretty sitting on a bar stool. Now she will.” But there never will be as much “back interest” as Dorothy Lamour displayed the other day on the set of “The Road to Rio.” Edith whipped up a very snappy dress for Dottie. Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, who have their own money invested in this picture, wondered how much it cost. “Oh,” lied Dottie,
ladies,
“about $5000.” For two days Bing and Hope chided her about | the cost of the.gown. Finally Dottie had a scene in which Hope says: “That's a beautiful dress you're wearing.” “Yes,” said Dottie, turning around, tiful?” Hope and Crosby all but collapsed. Pinned to the derriere of Dottie’'s gown were two big photographs—of Bing Crosby and Bob Hope.

Freddie's job is to jransplant trees, bushes and grass into movie sets needing trees, bushes and grass. Because he was in a terrific hurry, Freddy didn’t nail some trees to a sound stage floor. Somebody opened a door, in the middle of a scene, and let in a draft. The trees wobbled and fell. Although the script didn’t. call for an earthquake, the scene was so realistic the story was rewritten to include an earthquake.
