When the skin is the make-up kit offer little conso- lation, Powder goes on in patches, won't stick for sour apples. Rouge shows up too plainly. The trouble lies in oil depletion. The sebaceous glands designed to kep the epider- class condition, have decided to take a holiday. These glands, like every cell of the body, receive nourishment from reason, they require fat. To elimi- nate fat meats, cream and butter from on's meals means that the glands become debilitated, can't carty on the mission for which they were designed. While local treatment helps to a certain extent, the sensible step is to discover the cause and correct it. When you recall its opposite -- cause of over-indulgence in rich, fatty foods, especially pastries -- you can better understand the ef- fect of dietary habits upon the complexion. The girl or woman who keeps to a balanced diet, getting food elements in proper proportions, is likely to be rewarded with a skin that is normal. Dry air, homes and offices that are overheated, contribute to skin dryness, as does exposure to harsh winds. Steam heating requires wat- <r containers on every radiator, not moisture is necessary for a comfor- table itch-proof skin surface but because it is better for the respira- tory organs. The arid complexion needs plen- ty of lubricating. It must be kept well greased. An oily foundation cosmetic is a help, acts as a protec tive agent against the elements. The powder should have an oily base; there is a difference in the JAMESON Add more fat to the diet * + + feel drawn and sensitive. Remove make-up with a thin cream. Let the cream remain on. Dip a heavy washcloth in .a rich suds, pass it lightly over the facial areas. Rinse with tepid water, dry gently, apply a heavier cream. If possible, let it remain on for half an hour or so before putting om the high lights from the make-up box., At bedtime use a cream lavishly, tapping it in, adding more as it disappears. There is no such thing as using too much cream.

GLAMORIZING Pretty Arms a By HELKN Karin Booth, movie star, finds buttermilk skin, She leaves a thin film of it t * PRETTY arms are a grand beau- ty asset. The woman who possesses them is entitled to have pride in them. Lovelies of the stage and screen take good care of theirs, hav- ing them massaged after facial treatment, anointing them faith- fully during the home chores that are done for good-looks sake. The arm should have a rounded slenderness. Just below the shoul- der there should be a slight inward curve. At the elbow the upper and lower arms should have the same measurement. From the elbow down, there should be a gradual tapering line to a neat wrist with just enough adipose padding to conceal the wrist satin Suppose you take a look at your fins, see how they stack up? If the skin surface is not up tb standard, here is a treatment that will put it in form: 'Vigorous Scrubbing Scrub them vigorously with warm soap suds and a brush, rinse and dry. Apply toilet lanoline, rubbing up and down with flattened fingers. LJ Beauty Asset FOLLETT a perfect aid for bleaching the o nher arms for fifteen minutes. * While you are at it, give your finger pails a few whisks. Work dilligently on your elbows. Elbows always need help in the way of creaming and massaging. Over the lanoline, sprinkle bo- rated talcum to form a pack. Then apply towels that have been wrung out of steaming hot water. Change the towels several times. Use them to remove the pack. Dry the flesh and friction with eau de cologne. This is the routine used in nearly all beauty shops. Many women have these treatments when they go for a manicure appointment. The steaming towels remain on while the nails are given a thorough grooming and shine. Another good beauty treatment for arms is to apply buttermilk with a gauze pad. Leave on fifteen min- utes; then wash off. For undeveloped arms and for those that have gone in for a policy of adipose expansion, there is no exercise equal to that of swinging Indian clubs; it does a speedy, nor- malizing act, Planning Your Meals Saves Time, Money Not only does planning your ey and energy, but it is an excel- lent method of ensuring good nu- trition and, as you know, good nu- trition is a very important factor in good health.

BUNDESEN, M.D. VITAMIN DEFICIENCY DURING recent years, the magic word, 'Vitamins,' has aroused in- terest, and doctors wert quick to learn that not enough of the right kinds of vitamins may really raise havoc in the body. Citing just one example, a deficiency of certain vi- tamins may lead to conditions af- fecting the mouth and gums. I refer especially to a deficiency of Vitamin C, which causes scurvy. In scurvy there are mouth symp- toms, including bleeding under the lining membrane around the jaw bone, and spongy, swollen, bleeding gums: In advanced cases, actual loosening of the teeth may occur. There is some evidence indicating that certain cases of gum inflam- mation may be the result of mild scurvy. § Limited Amounts On the other hand, the observa- tion of large groups of people, who have had limited amounts of Vita- mia C, has not shown that gum in- flammation or gingivitis developed. When gum inflammation is present, it is always important to make sure that the patient has received enough Vitamin C, but- the treatment of gum disease with Vitamin C alone is not satisfactory. Symptoms of Vitamin B-complex deficiency also develop in the mouth. For example, when there is a deficiency of riboflavin, part of the Vitamin B-complex, there is of - ten cracking and inflammation at the corners of the mouth. This is frequently accompanied by a typi- cal inflammation of the tongue, in which the tongue has a purplish-red color. These mouth symptoms may also be accompanied by a mild dis- turbance of the eyes with pain, when the eyes are exposed to light, and some inflammation of the lin- ing membrane over the eye. These symptoms due to riboflavin defi- ciency clear up quickly when the preparation is administered. Swollen Tongue -- Not enough niacin, also a part of the Vitamin B-complex, will cause the tongue to become swollen and scarlet in color. There is likely to be an excessive saliva formation. These symptoms may be accompanied by diarrhoea and vomiting; also a skin eruption, with headache, dizziness, and sleeplessness. There is also evidence that a lack of niacin may be a contributing factor to the development of a mouth infection known as Vincent's angina. In view of the fact that a defi- ciency of these various vitamins may be related to mouth disorders. it is important to make sure that persons who have these disturbances are amply supplied with the neces- sary vitamins.

Last Spring I was given the position of secretary to a man who is the head of our department, a very fine \man and a very kind em- . | ployer. My predecessor in the posi- oo The p-oblem of Christmas gifts rises again and a good suggestion to save money this year is to make your own. If you have children and you're short on shopping time and money, or if you enjoy using your hands and like the idea of giving something you have created yourself, there are innumerable gifts you can make, such as dolls, toys, animals, socks, scarves and accessories. You can allow children to make their own gifts, such as the schoolgirl at left is making woven potholders. She will help to take a lot of the troubles of Sapfta Claus off his shoulders. Gift ef that Chri done after school hours.. R b g need not interfere with regular classroom work for it can he packages should look alluring--mysterious--individual, This can be achieved by getting a big selection of gay papers, ribbons, labels, wrappin paper, string and a non-leaking pen. Go about it in a big way but don't go wrapping on your bed, for the surface is too soft and you may cut the spread. Tinkling bells add a festive note to the parcel, and you'll probably get a few ideas of your own. Nimble Fingers Can Make Gifts To Please Friends at Christmas The ingenious teen-ager can ease the pinch on her pocketbook and please more young friends this Christmas by making clever little novelties that girls love to wear. Settle for trick accessories which have high-fashion acceptance this winter but are as easy-as-pie to make. No unusual skills are needed, for example, to make such stylewise accessories as plaited yarn "hair braids," tasseled mecklaces for sweaters, "Diamond Jim Brady" cuff links of big sparkling buttons and flower-bedecked head bands. To make a yarn "hair braid" all you need are three thick lengths of contrasting colored yarn about 24 inches long. Add to these a short- er piece of gold ribbon which plait- ed into the yarn adds a thoughtful touch of holiday glitter. Tie yarn and ribbon tcgether at one end and braid until you have a band long enough to encircle your 'Héad. Sew two ends of braid together and let the left-over unbraided yarn dangle | at one side as a fetching tassel. If you like, tack a fluffy yarn pom- pom to the top of the tassel which is a good cover-up device for any ragged ends of yarn which need to be hidden. Jaunty Little Men Yarn necklaces that line up a row of jaunty little men on a single strand of heavy yarn are smart for any recipient to wear with her turtle-neck sweater, heaps of fun for you to make. To make a tassel- man, wrap a single strand of yam around a two-inch piece of card- board 20 or 30 times. Tie the loops together at one edge of the card- board and cut the yarn evenly at the other edge. The result is a yarn pompom which you fold in half and form into a tassel-man | by tying off sections to make a round "head" and two legs with fuzzy "feet." : Four whopping rhinestone but- tons glued to cuff-link backings or "chained' together with a heavy thread will put sparkle on any pal's shirt like Diamond Jim Brady's. | You can also make expensive-look- | ing dress clips by cementing medal- | lion or fake coin buttons to clip | backings. Or you can cement on round jeweled Button to the top of an inexpensive linstick case to add costly looking: glitter to a modest gift. Before buttons are cemented in place, metal shanks should be clipped off with a pair of nippers borrowed from your Dad's tool box. Mantilla Head-de If you have a party-going pal on your list, give her a gala head dress made from a milliner's bi- cycle clip wrapped with satin rib- bon and ornamented with two posies. Tell her she can drape a black lace handkerchief over this, mantilla-fashion. If you know how to crochet, metallic gold thread can be easily hooked up to make lacy mech mitts for a Cinderella' on your list. When tied with black velvet ribbon at the wrists, glitter gloves will win palm-smacking applause from a grateful party gal. Stuffed Olives And Seasonings, Add Zest To A Rice Loaf Half of the battle for interesting food to present at the table lies in the form in which it is presented. A "mass" never l.s {ie eye cppeal that a "loaf" has. So here we have taken quite the usual ingredients and given it a look that, while the loaf couldn't be called a "new look", it works its magic year after year. You'll find the seasoning inter- esting, and the few stuffed olives added, perk up the results in an amazing manner. Olive Rice Loaf One teaspoon chopped onions; 3 tablespoons butter or margarine; 4 tablespoons flour; %; teaspoon dry mustard; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 cup hot nilk; 2 cups shredded or "grated American cheese; }2 teaspoon Wor- cestershire sauce; 3 eggs; 4 cups cooked white rice; 12 cup sliced or chopped stuffed olives; tomato sauce to go with the loaf. In the top of a double boiler, melt the butter or margarine and saute the onions. This can be done over direct heat. Then place over hot water @nd blend in the flour, dry mustard and salt. Add hot milk and cook, stirring, until the sauce has thickened. Take from the fire and add cheese, stirring until the cheese has melted. Add Worcestershire sauce. Beat the eggs well and add some of the hot cheese sauce to them, stirring constantly. Add the fluffy white rice and olives. Place all in a greased loaf pan that also has been lined with wax paper-- this will insure the loaf coming out easily without bringing worry- wrinkles to the maker. Bake in a moderate oven, 325 degrees, 1 hour and 15 minutes or until firm, Un- mold on a hot platter and serve with tomato sauce, if you like. Fluffy White Rice Put 1 cup of white rice, 1 teaspoon salt and 2 cups cold water in a 2-quart saucepan. Cover with a tight-fitting lid. Set over a hot flame until it bolls vigorously. Then reduce the heat as low as possible and simmer for 14 minutes more, during which time the water will be absorbed, making the rice delicious- ly tender. Remove the lid and per- mi' the rice to steam dry to the de- sired consistency and the grain will be separated and fluffy. Never stir rice. But do lift rice gently with a fork when testing for consistency. Quick Tomato Sauce Heat one can of condensed tom- ato soup and s2ason to taste.

' { Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood -- (AP) -- "How do they make movies?" asks a gentle- man in the audience, A 'good question. And here, in general, is the answer. They start with a story. The studio may pay a fabulous price for a hit play or a best-selling novel, Or it may buy more cheaply an original story idea over which a film writer has sweated many an unemployed week. The scriot is done and redone and redone, often to the point of insen- sibility. Meanwhile the producer selected by the studio boss is lining up a cast and budget. He then consults with the pro- duction staff and plans the shooting. The art director whips up sketches of the sets and estimates 'their cost. The producer picke a director, cameraman and other key posts. The sets are built, the cast set and enough of the script written to get started. Now the director takes over. / Most movie minds (especially di- rectors) agree that, the director is the mest important factor in the success of a picture. He instructs the actors, tells the cameraman what to shoot, interprets the script and rewrites it if necessary. Even the greatest director can't make a hit from a bad script. A gocd director can mean life or death to a mediocre script, which class of writing predominates in Hollywood. Finally the film is finished; it is handed over to the film editor, who fashions the tangle of celluloid into a feature picture, With the aid of the producer and director, the film is hacked and sliced until it gets down to 90, minutes of story telling. A composer whips up a musical blackground and a symphony orch- estra records it. With the picture finally intact, it is sent out for a "sneak preview" in a Southern Cali- fornia town. The picture then goes back for more cutting ad is "sneak- ed" again, With the release date set, the pub- licity and . exploitation barrage bursts forth.

Coims of Course It will be a pleasure to open an account for you, BURNS Credit Jewellers 32 King St. W., Oshawa, Ont. tion was a girl I knew only casu- ally, but when I met her the other day she told me that this employer always gave her a Christmas pres- ent and that he undoubtedly would also give me a present this Christ- mas. If he should give me a pres- ent, should I -open it when he hands it to me? 2. Of course I would thank him when he hands the gift to me. Should I also write him a thank- you note? 3. I have never met his wife, but I have spoken with her many times over the telephone, and she is al- ways most cordial. Should I send a Christmas card to him and his wife at their home address, even though I haven't met her? Christine 1. I am sure you will find it far more graceful not to open the Christmas present when he hands it to you, but to say something like "How very kind of you, Mr. Foster. Thank you very much inded. I'll put it on my Christmas tree, to be opened on Christmas Day!" 2. Yes, besides thanking him when he gives you the present, you should write a thank-you note to him, either on Christmas day or not later than the day after, It only his name is written on the enclosed card, write your note to him only and leave it on his desk. But of course write to both him and his wife, if her name is included on the card, and then mail the note to their home address. 3. Yes, it would be proper and friendly for you to send a Christ- ms card addressed to him and his wife at their home address. And this is correct even though you have not met his wife. Christening Questions Dear Mrs. Beeckman: 'Will you please answer for us several questions. concerning god- parents? (1) Is it true that it is taken for granted that the maid of honor and the best man at the wedding should be asked to be god- parents for the first child? (2) Is it also true that the baby's mother is expected to give a gift to the godmother? (3) Is it the responsi- bility of the child's godfather to give the christening fee to the clergyman? (4) Is it customary for the child's parents to give a kind of party at their home after the christening in church? Frances G, (1) No; although this is occasion- ally the plan, it is not at all to be taken for granted. (2) No. It is the WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT Thanking Employer for a Gift? By MRS, CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Sump other way around . . . it is the god- mother who gives a christening gift to the child. (3) No. It is the child's father who gives the chris- tening fee to the clergyman. (4) Very often the parents do give a simple, informal party after a christening, but although this is a very pleasant kind of party to give, it is not at all necessary. Engaged Couple And Christmas Cards Dear Mrs. Beckman: i Is it proper for an engaged coue ple to send Christmas cards to- gether? "They Themselves" Yes, if only their first names are either written or printed on the cards, and if the cards are sent on- ly to their relatives and intimate friends. A particularly nice way is for the girl to sign her name on the card, (below the message, eith- er printed or written) and her fi- .|ance to write his name on the line below. A Book-Plate of His Own, For Christmas Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Do you think a 12-year-old boy is too young to have a book-plate of his own? Our son is a great reader, has quite a collection of good books in the bookshelves of his own room, and we thought it might be a good idea to give him a supply of book-plates for 'Christ- mas. If you approve of this plan for so young a boy, should we, when we order his name printed on them, use the nickname prac- tically everyone uses for him, or his "real" name? Parents Indeed your son isn't too young to own this splendid gift . . . and I'm sure he'll rejoice having the book plates. You'll find some ex- cellent and suitable designs, all ready for the imprinting of the name. I suggest a general design for a boy of this age, for his in- terests and enthusiasm are apt to change, and a general design will be more lasting. Don't have his' nickname im- printed on these book-plates. A book-plate is a formal item, and should carry his "real" name, no nickname, no abbreviations.
