A grave error, my lpaper friend, Make-up is as old as jhe hills, No doubt Mother Eve, ng & wild strawberry for skin ping, tinted her complexion, using ia clear pool for a looking glass. When the Roman Empire com- | d a large part of Europe, both men and women used perfumes pro- gsely and treated their faces with \ rouge, The h Jost. in remote ny Sacticy "Tt is aid that & few bold, forward-stepping pioneers in Uncle Sam's domain pounded ruby-red beet roots to a pulp, pressed them through a fruit strainer, added a tiny bit of alcohol, and used the result for brightening their complexions. All this in se- cret, of course, To be a painted lady was to be a social outcast. With make-up established as an institution, as it was twenty-five years ago there seemed to be a feel- gir a Bape es had an age limit. If you had white hair, noth- ing doing, pallor or no pallor. When the years have touched a woman's face, as years have a way of doing, and the glorious halo has silvered, it is a comfort to know that the beauty kit offers freshness and vitality. Applied discreetly, these alds will delete a number of birthdays; applied too lavishly and carelessly, they may make a woman appear not only older, but also hard and brittle, One must use the old head. The grey-haired woman with dark eyes has an advantage over the one-time blonde. Her lip pig- ment should be rich and dark, rouge several tones lighter. She can get away with more of it then can her once-blonde sisters. She is the type who looks well in black, and who can wear a certain amount of red without looking as if she were try- ing to be too youthful, The average grey-haired woman must be careful not to present a colorless monotone. That is what happens when she wears greys, cold browns, or other meaningless shades. She should apply a little mascara to faded eyebrows, use a faint rose rouge upon her cheeks, tint her lips lightly. Her appearance will change completely, if she don't let her mind dwell upon the fact that she is getting older every day. After fifty-five, the skin may take on a more transparent appearance, in which event a mauve powder is desirable. Rouge and lipstick should be of medium tone, If the skin darkens or yellows, orange-reds are more flattering.

February's Saint Favored Amethysts February's birthstone, the ame- thyst, was said to be the favored gem of St. Valentine, which makes it particularly appropriate in modern times, when lovers, or just friends, observe St. Valen- tine's day with an expression of sentiment, Amethysts, varying in color from palest violet to deep purple, are found principally in the Si- berian Urals or the mines of Bra- zil, Ceylon and Madagascar. As far back as the Pharoahs, ame- thysts were found in the tombs and they were said to be the fav- orite gemg of Catherine the Great and Queen Charlotte. They ap- pear, today, in the coronation ser- vice of English kings and the cor. onet of the Prince of Wales in a circlet of pearls an amethysts. They are also the traditional ring for bishops. The amethyst is set in a legend of passion and repentance, Bac- chus, the ancient Greek god of wine, the story goes, was feuding with Diana, goddess of the hunt and patroness of maidens, Anger- ed by some mockery of Diana's Bacchus vowed to revenge him- self by sacrificing to his tigers the first maiden to approach her altar, It was Amethyst, a beautiful young virgin, who approached Di- ana's shrine, But as the tigers leaped to devour the girl, Diana intervened and tyrned her into a statue of pure white stone, Re- penting his cruel intention, Bac- chus poured a libation of wine over the young maiden's statue, turning it a delicate purplish- violet hue. Thus the amethyst is said to endow the wearer with sober judgment and industry. Modern fashion designers are showing amethyst increasingly, in faceted stones for rings in flow- er design mountings for' pins and clips, in gold, silver or platinum, and often grouped with contrast. ing colored gems.

KEEP "REGULAR" SIZES ~ Glamorizing On Your Toes for Foot Care By HELEN POLLETY Actress Diana Lynn has good posture and a graceful figure, / LJ * Girls whose teeth go on edge at the mere mention of exercise should walk tip toe; it will' keep their legs in form. Foot specialists say it is a good practice for a number of things that afflict human trotters. It strengthens tendons and muscles. So, while slimming down or devel- oping legs and thighs, you'll be do- ing charitable work for the feet that all too oft:n get tired and smarty. It happens that the same exercise that develops thin shanks wil] slen- derize plump ones. Wear soft-soled shoes with plenty of width, "Toes should spread out fan-fashion when you lift up on them at first. You can't expect to travel far along this calisthenic line. Five minutes of tip toeing at a time. Day by day, in every way, toes will get stronger. The measure- ment of the calves, If they have ex- panded beyond normal contour, will gradually lessen. When going up stairs, keep on \ L J your toes. Make each step springy. Keep your backbone extended, chest lifted. Few women look their best when mounting a stairway. They're 1kely to send the upper portion'of the body too far forward. Gracelul movement is a help in the cultiva- tion of pulchritude. It keeps one young of outline. On your tces now and give the family a chance to laugh and make wisecracks, They might enjoy seeing you use a jumping rope, an excel- lent means of keeping the figure in form. Ten jumps on one foot, ten on the other, ten on both feet. It is well to remember that a pret- ty figure is as great a beauty asset as a pretty face. In order to culti- vate graceful lines and to maintain the restiliency of youth, a certain a- mount of muscular activity is ne- cessary. Also, through speeding up circulation, the complexion is bene- fited, cheeks will carry a healthy glow, the skin testure is likely to re- main normal.

BUNDESEN, M.D. Nothing better illustrates the re- volutionary changes made possible by the discovery of the sulfonamide drugs and penicillin than the treat- ment of pneumonia before and af- ter these preparations came into e. Before, no very effective direct attack on the itself could ke made and the doctor was forced to use what was known as "sup- pertive" treatment. That is, he did everything possible to make the pa- tient more comfortable and to con- serve his strength for the fight that he, and he alone, could make against the invading germs. Serums Proved Ifelpful Later, serums were found which proved helpiul but now all of these things have been more or less dis- carded in favor of the sulfonamides snd penioilis, which work directly troy the harm that the pneu- hi germs do and thus end the illness more speedily. But life-saving as they are in this regard, these wonder-working che- micals can do little to curb what we think as the ordinary catching diseases of childhood, with the pos- sible except.on of scarlet fever. Both the sulfonamide drugs and penicil- lin have also been employed in the treatment of scarlet fever and other streptococeic infections of the throat. It would appear that in these conditions, as in pneumonia, peni- cillin often gives the best results. If the penicillin is administered for such treatment seems'to be helpful in avoiding complications. Neither the sulfonamide drugs nor penicillin seems to have much, if any, value in the treatment of measles, nor does there appear to be any other drug which has any marked effect on this condition, Hence, in so far as measles is con- cerned, the main efforts must be in the direction of prevention. A sub- stance obtained from the protein portion of the liquid part of the blood, known as gamma globulin, if given to children recently exposed to the disease will either prevent the disorder or at least make the attack milder. Whooping cough causes more deaths in young children than any other catching disease, particularly in infants under one year of age. In order to help prevent these deaths, children should be given whooping cough vaccine early in life, at the third month, according to many physicians and always by the time they are six months of age. Children who have already devel- oped whooping cough may be treat- ed with what is known 4s hyper:m- mune serum. This is se; prepar- ed by giving the vaccine to human beings or to rabbits and then later w.thdrawing blood from them and using the serum or liquid part of the blood. Perhaps the time will come when we shall have safe and sure cures, similar to penicillin, for such dis- eases as whooping cough and diph- theria, but unti} we do, all children should be protected by prevent ve vaccines and serums. could almost be banished from the earth if every child were given diphtheria toxoid by the age of 3 or 9 months, at least six days the strept: quickly disappear from the throat and do not recur.

Diphtheria' Fairs Her Career Boosts West Wares By ENID NEMY Winnipeg, Feb. 1.--(CP) woman likes attending a fair or ex- hibition but few have thought of them as a career, Mrs. Letta Walsh of Saskatoon admits she didn't ac- tually think of the idea herself--ne- cessity forced it on her but she's never regretted it. First woman to be appointed to the executive of the Western Can- ada Association of Exhibitions, pe- tite and business-like Mrs. Walsh finds her colleagues unprejudiced about her sex and helpful. ~~ "They seem perfectly satisfied and there is certainly no prejudice be- cause I'th' & woman." Mrs. Walsh was born near Lon- don, Ont, and came west in 1012. She married Jack Walsh, a grain man, and during the depression, when a number of grain offices closed, she decided to go to work for herself. "It was in May -- shortly before the Saskatoon exhibition--so I got myself a job assisting the late 8. W. Johns, then manager, of our exhibi- ition, I stayed 17 years." Mr. Johns was also secretary of the Western Canada Association and in 1941 she was appointed his assist- ant. When he died in 1943 she was appointed acting secretary and last year wag officially made secretary of the organization. Despite the fact that she's "in the business", she rarely finds time to visit other exhibitions.

"These really have a chicness - about them," sala Peters, "The Can- adians seem to know how to use se- guins to the best effect." Most of the models were decorat- ed with black, gold or colored se- quins, used sometimes as an edging to neckline and sleeves or to form a corsage of flowers. Another style point in the dresses was the nylon net used to make the . top of the bodice of a smart cock- tail dress with push-up net sleeves. Instead of sequins one pink dress had matching studs clamped on it and another simple but attractive frock was of wheat-colored crepe with the rounded neckline and cap sleeves edged with gold sequins. The skirt was slightly gathered at the waistline, Peters said that Canada had made big strides in the fashion world and now is holding her own with the United States.
