KEEP YOUR SKIN IN TUNE WITH SEASONS (Josephine Huddleston) Do you know that • skins have moods? • Well, they have, andif we ;want to appear lovely and charming, there is nothing for us to do but bow low before, the altar of beauty and learn' to understand otir skins. If nec- essary, we mast humor them into moods that are receptive to all the loveliness' we are:willing and anxious to bestow: Just how is sucha trick possible? Simply ,by frequent: changes of face powders, cold creams and all such beautifying preparations 'which we use in theeveryday toilette. We'll 'take the subject of face powders today be- cause ninety-five per cent. of the wo- men 'of the country use this aid to beauty. • If you have found that the last box of your ,favorite powder has sudden- ly turned chalky and streaked your skin, do not despair. It is gin ply a' cue that the Harsh winds of the Win- ter have left their damaging marks on your skin.' Such winds not only blow dust into the pores, malting them coarse but the skin becomes inure leathery appearing than in mild- er weather. Then too, the tan of last summer has gradually vanished and the skin, especially that on the face and throat because it is ri-ore exposed to the elements than the rest of the body, require special and un- derstanding care. That is why the approach of Spring calls • for a change in the texture of powder. If ` the powder is too noticeable, it should be mixed with one of lighter weight. I'd•suggest that you try mix -. a small amount at a time, remcni- bering what proportions were follow- ed each time. Then, when the correct weight powder for your skin has been found,it may be prepared lt largert e r quantities.' However, in a short time it will be again necessary to change the weight of your powder, as the -warmer breezes will cause another change in the skin. Then too, with,'the bleaching of the skin, a lighter shade of powder than that used at any other time of the year is needed for late winter and ear- ly spring. :Should the text re of your preeent powder. ap:pear too light in weight for, your skin, simply add a Tittle powder of heavier weight. Of course, you won't find the different weight p.nv- dors put on the market- by the same manufacturers, but since most pow- ders are pure (as they must pass Gov- erttment tests), this is not of great consequence, Don't forget that the change of the seasons necessitates special care for the skin 'as .well asin the use Of cos- metics and'ttow that Spring is approa- ching you'll "need to use lavish a- mounts of nourishing 'and healing creams if the clearness •and softness of the skin is not to be `marred: HAND SEWN LINEN' In this day of busy women there are few who have either the time or the inclination to ensconce themselves in rockingchairs and spend the after- nook embroidering or painting china. However, hand sewn linen is still just as popular as it was in the days of our mothers and grandmothers and is ex- tremely costly to purchase, Styles in handiwork are simpler now than they were and we cannot help but feel they are itt better taste., itanditerchief linen of a slightly iheavier grade earl be transfornmedin- to delectable tablecloths, napkins, doilies or bridge sets. The pastel shades in such materials are enticing and are comparatively inexpensive. An edging of the lovely _creases col- ored lace with little animals or flow- ers woven into it makes a set which approximates the smartest linens shown in the stores. Luncheon napkins should be from 13 to 18 inches square and dinner napkins 24 inches square are gener- ally used, Plate doilies are about 12 by 15 and a practical runner for the centre of a fairly long table is about a yard and a quarter long by 15 in- ches wide. Fascinating things canbe done with applique work and cross stitch- ing in delicate designs worked with fine thread is still popular, The wo- man who is handy with the croehhet' hook can obtain• some exceedingly nice effects, too.. For the so-called cocktail napkins, to be served with appetizers, the brighter colors are effective. These napkins are about six inches square or may be oblong. ` Everyday sets of crash or linen edged with gingham or a contrasting color of linen snake the usual meal more of a pleasure and are easy to make and to launder, BUTTER 'SCOTCH PIE This recipe has been printed before —about a year ago we believe -but there have been several requests for. it recently so here it is: 1 cup of brown sugar 1 cup of milk 3tablespoons of flour 1 egg yolk 1 teaspoon of vanilla 1 tablespoon of butter Cook in a .double boiler until thick, turn into a crust already baked, cover with the beaten white of one egg, sweetened with one tablespoonful of powdered sugar and brown lightly in the oven. If desired, the pie may be allowed to cool and then topped with sweetened whipped cream instead of the egg white, If this is done the pie is not returned to the oven . DO YOU KNOW THAT? (1) The peels of oranges and tan- gerines dried in the oven and stored in glass jars may be used in puddings, and custards to which they •give a delightful flavor. (2) Candy, after removing from the fire, should be allowed to stand until lukewarm before beating.

Before you can get sold on it yourself, and before you can, sell it to others to anywhere near maximum degree, there is a certain amount of study and analysis necessary. That is, it is necessary if known ethics of good business are adhered to. Sad but .trite, how- ever, this is Altogether too seldom done in things civic. The first question to be answered is, 'Is there a Market—a de- mand for it?" . The demand for good, live, wide-awake communities greatly • exceeds the supply. Every day people are asking, "Where is there a good town in which to locate"—for any one of a thousand reasons. Twenty per cent. of your motor traffic is in the market for, or can be sold a new location. •Men at the heads of large industrial concerns, people in all walks of life, in fact, everyone is looking for ` good towns—good coniunrnitics. Few people realize the extent to which industry and business go to find good towns. There are in, Chicago alone dozens of :cor- porations, concerns and firths who have special departments to do - nothing else but find out if a town is suitable for the purpose they have in. mind, With some it is for location of a branch factory, employing hundreds; others for a distributing point, requiring twelve to fifty; others for place of residence for the representative and family who handles the company business in that area, and there are others who, looking into the future, just want to know. And this is your opportunity IF your town .is •in position to take advantage Of it. • The second question "Is virtu. town marketable --suitable for sale, as is? To make it marketable, the bugs must be eliminated --the Mon- key wrenches fished out of the machinery, so that when sold, it will stay sold, What business mean is there that doesn't know what happens to any, concern that; places a ,product or service in the hands of the;; American public that, when sold, doesn't stay sold? Every thinking man knows that itspells disaster; lint in the face of that very know- ledge, ,they expect their town to "go over" .with the same Anerican public,. without eliminating 'those things that are known to' provoke dissatisfaction,`create loss of interest, and unsell the eustotner. The` first bug in the machinery of most communities is that Of "contemptuous familiarity," You walk' down the street and look at hundreds of things that repel other people, but you do not see them, You go to :your store orofftco and there arc things that others abhor,• but you fail to recognize them because you are so familiar with them, At the saine• thne, above yotu, 'below yott, .and, on, every side of you, there are "acres of diamonds that have never been tn;ned." It is a matter of being "so .close to the picture that you eart't see the fraree." took around you -•--put yourself in the position' of a stranger and look ,for the:things that would unsell you. See your community as others see !tY-•think abottt it ---talk to your neighbor about it and then do - something, to eliminate. those things that repel, and "get behind and pttsla" those things that Invite, Copyright, 1929, A.
