watching them gain..."
But with seven acres of beans,
who needs cattle?

much the same after washing her

Isn't it just amazing the
agony one young lady will inflict
on .her face in the name of
beauty. It is very possible that a
young man might not recognize
his new wife the morning after
the wedding when all the paint
and polish has rubbed off on the

They'll give you the. hard sell on

My personal counsellor went to
great lengths to remove every
trace of blemish-causing dirt and
grime from my skin, and just

countenance was fresher than
ever before she began smearing
me with foundation lotion and
liquid powder.

PERSONALS
The "Reid Clan" held their
annual picnic at Lions Park,
Seaforth on Sunday, with a large
attendance. Friends were present
from London, Woodstock and
T av istock •and surrounding
territory.
Mrs. Frank Fingland has
returned home after a five week
vacation in Europe.
• Mr. and Mrs. Frank Falconer
and family attended the Loyal

•
the rust step is to wash Your
face — either by the
conventional soap and water
method or by the more posh
cleansing.cream treatment which
heauticians prefer (because it's
good for their cleansing 'cream
pales no doubt).
Following this came the hint
of rouge, the face powder, the
lipstick, the dab of perfume and'
whoops — the most important
single set of paints in a modern
woman's bag of tricks — the eye
makeup.
Whether milady's eyes are
blue, brown, green, black or
pink, you'd never know it was
the same set of peepers when the
full order of eye makeup has
been spread and brushed on. In
fact, some eye makeup is so
heavy that Daisy Doll can't lift
the lids to see where she's going. •
I'm convinced that's why all the
gals pictured in the magazines
are shown looking down at the
floor. It isn't because it's sexier
to have parted lips and
half-closed eyes — it's just
mechanically necessary, that's
all.
Liner comes in brown but the
most popular shade is black —
jet ebony black. The little
woman cozies up to the
bathroom mirror and with chin
high, • spits on the liner pencil
before she traces the edge of the
upper and lower eye. lid. Many
girls like to improve on nature at
this point and in the outer
corners of their eyes they lavish
a little extra spit on the pencil to
make heavy arrow-like drawings
halfway out to the temples.
Eye shadow comes in almost
every shade except petrified
puce. Blues, greens and purples
are most acceptable because
they are said to give depth to the
eyes. It's true, too. Often a girl's
eyes seem set so deep in her
head that she has the appearance
of a hollow-eyed skeleton — sort
of exaggerated Robert Stanfield
look. A fellow has to get right
up close to look into this gal's
eyes. That way, she reaches out
and grabs hiin before he has a
chance to discover one eye looks
east and one west.
Finishing touch includes
mascara for the eye lashes if
they Fare yoir own Of 'a
complete new set of long
feathery flappers if your
'God-given ones are 'short ,and
stubby, Eyebrow Pencil give the
total , look so important this
season.
Now the young miss emerges
from the bathroom, fearful to
close her eyes tight lest the 'goo
sticks on contact, and unable to
open her eyes wide enough to
read the stop sign at the corner.
Trial marriages I can see
would serve more purpose than
to discover if a couple are
mentally and physically 'suited
to one another. It would provide
a young man with the
opportunity to scrape away the
trimmings and see what hides
behind the myopic mask.
