Then all at once he started gaining inches, and practically overnight he was a stringbean. Like you, he had been frail until ten or eleven and I suppose that retarded his growth a always remember that." Some children mature sooner than others, but whether puberty is attained early or late, the child in his early teens is painfully conscious of his changing size and shape or lack of it. as the case may be. For some reason, the hands, feet and nose grow up first. Coming at a time of development, when one is anxious to impress the opposite sex by his appearance, these awkward changes give rise to genuine despondency.

Parents should try to recall how they felt at this stage of development. They may be amused now. but it was no laughing matter then. Parents should build up confidence and hope in a child who has cause to despair of his size or general appearance. It is not wasted, because even if he should not completely outgrow the defect, it helps him over a "tough spot."

but leave her lashes soft and silky. Miss Loy is wise, for the eyes are the most intriguing highlights of the entire face. No matter how perfect a woman's other features may be. she is definitely under par if her eves lack luster or expressiveness. Now that fashions are so feminine and seductive, you should see if vour eyes are as lovely a3 thev can be.

Winter weather is hard on the eyes. The cold dries out the natural moisture that keeps the eyeball clear and bright and dust and soot in the air may cause irritation. Bathe vour eyes at least once daily in a medicated lotion containing camphor. Such a lotion relieves strain VMfflM'wviii and fatigue clean ses the eyeballs and leaves the eyes clear and bright.

This will soothe and tone the delicate tissues surrounding the eyes. An application of rich, gently astringent eye cream or toilet lan-oline smoothed lightly into the lines around the eyes will soothe and rest the eyes, soften the skin and help erase lines. The warming effect of the cream and massage improves the circulation and makes the underlying tissues firmer, keeping the skin in this area the same clear tone as the rest of your complexion. There are never sunken, dark circles beneath the eyes of the girl who knows how to take care of her precious orbs. Now, for eye make-up.

There's a new eyebrow shape being tried in which the brows start out rather heavy and full, then taper down gracefully at a rather definite angle to the heavier part of the eyebrow. Whatever the shape you choose for your brows, be sure that there are no stragglers and that all the fuzzy little hairs across the bridge of the nose are plucked away. As a final touch, add blue-green eyeshadow and mascara. These popular fall shades are lovely whether your eyes are brown, blue or green. The blue-green mascara gives the lashes an unexpected gleam and brings out all the sparkle in your eyes.

Eating Cheese In comparison ffith the hardy Swiss, who regularly eat better than nineteen pounds of cheese per person per year, Americans eat only five pounds each. We are gradually learning that in cheese we have not only one of the finest protein foods in the world, but one of the most economical and versatile of all foods. As education about the dietetic virtues and the numerous menu-uses for cheese have increased, our national consumption has also increased. Beauty Tips QUESTION: "1 am tired of being referred to as 'the mousy girl in the but I am no sure what I can do about it.

Scrub it more faithfully use a softening cream and a mild tonic to make it clear and brine out the warm natural tones. Then try eye make-up Try both brown and black mascara and eyebrow pencil to see which is most effective with your gray eyes. Be sure to trace over your eyebrows lightly so there will be no heavy artificial lines Then try blue-violet eye-shadow for mystery.

If your skin tones tend toward the grayish side use rosy-red rouge and lipstick sparingly and carefully. If the basic color tones are yellowish, then choose one of the soft brownish-reds in rouge and lipstick. For your costume colors avoid drab shades of tan. brown, dull black or gray. If you can manage to make vour skin clear and use make-up properly you may be able to wear some shades of gray but it's risky.

Now he has discarded this nnnint nlri rnqtnm nnrl whv int? A woman never asks the permission of another woman--she just lights up and let's it go at that. Consideration for Others Foi the sake of argument, let suppose that they are wrong, that there are women, possibly some men also, who find smoke-laden atmosphere objectionable. Not because they have any prejudices against smoking on moral or ethical grounds, or that they make any distinction between the sexes.

Just let's suppose that they find smoke unpleasant. What are they to do in these days of incessant smoking, even in tea rooms and such places as are commonly supposed to be feminine preserves? Any traveler will agree with me that the smoking car is often shunned by men who are themselves incessant smokers. If such men find the atmosphere too thick for comfort, how do they suppose women, unaccustomed to smoking themselves, stand the air in the average restaurant, tea room or other place where smokers predominate? It has been suggested, and for my part the suggestion seems excellent, that instead of one car being set aside for smokers, smoking be allowed in all cars save one, and that one being set aside for those who do not smoke. Careless Smokers Such an arrangement woina seem to be in tune with the times and clarify the situation as well as the air. There is, of course, no reason why a woman should not smoke if she wants to, provided she shows proper consideration for others and is careful how she disposes of butts and matches.

Women dashing about in great stores crowded with Christmas shoppers have certainly no business to be waving lighted cigarettes, yet they do. It is not uncommon to find a lighted cigarette parked on the counter in close proximity to all sorts of Christmas mable merchandise, not to mention the hands and clothing of other women crowded against the counter. It is not unusual to find a lighted cigarette at one's elbow in any crowd or perilously near the floating veils women now affect. Careless smokers are almost as great a menace as careless drivers: and alcohol and fire make just as menacing a mixture as alcohol and gasoline. Through long years of practice men have learned to be cautious, careful and courteous in their smoking habits.

Women only seem to have learned to smoke like chimneys, without any thought of the dangers of careless cmoking. Apple With Sausage Core and peel apples and fill cavity with sausage meat.

Her brown, boobed hair runs straight back from her sharp-featured face. When I talked to her she wore a simple tweed suit and a jumper sweater. She speaks quickly, tersely and her every movement bespeaks her live, alert personality.

Besides conducting her orchestra. Miss Brico conducts four choral societies, is guest conductor for many well-known orchestras, gives concerts, conducts opera out of town and in New York, lectures on musical history and teaches conducting. In her spare time which is negligible, she paints and does architectural drawing. "The idea that women have not the physical strength to play in an orchestra is not true." says Miss Brico. "A woman singer or dancer needs just as much strength for her art as a man.

It is talent and ability that count and women are as gifted as men in these respects." TAFFETA PRINT Comright.

The profession of dentistry has reached a high state of perfection Art and engineering and mechanical skill are all enlisted in refitting the mouth with teeth that are not only natural-looking but may even be an improvement on the ones you had in the first place. Delay Injurious The trouble lies largely with the patient himself.

who finally goes to the dentist for an exchange of teeth Is usually in a sorry state. More often than not. his reason for going is not the menace of decaying teeth to his health but to his appearance. By that time the contour of the lower third of his face seems to be getting shorter, flatter or thinner. He can't quite decide what has brought about the change, forgetting the occasional tooth that has been pulled.

Finally he thinks something should be done about it Then he suddenly throws the entire responsibility upon the dentist He (or especially, she) expects to be restored promptly to the original comeliness without much discomfort or too much expense.
