And here's a trick to help you get that very look: When you blend in your eye shadow turn your finger up at the end of the oyelid. Also draw your eye pencil from the corner of your eye upward for a fraction of an inch. This will. give you that eager look no delightful in young people. And it's particularly appropriate for a gay, outdoor day.

DICKENS' COURAGE

DARED TO BE COMMONPLACE

TRIBUTE BY M. MAUROIS

The one

hundred and twenty- third anniversary of the birth of Charles Dickens was, celebrated by the Dickens Fellowship at the Trocadero Restaurant recently, when speeches were delivered by M. Andro Maurois and Mr. Alfred Noyes.

Dickens, snid M. Maurois, had the courage to be commonplace, and that was why he was always human. He had the courage to

be banal, and that was why he was never banal. Critics had often pointed out the resemblance that existed between Dickens Marcel Proust, Proust himself liked to acknowledge all he owed to Oabert Sitwell had Dickens, and said rightly that Dickens would have found Proust's Mme. Ver-

durin congenial company.

and

"In real life we all know a greni many of Dickens'a charactera. Mr. Micawber is, for my sine, one of my best friends in Paris. I have also met him in New York, where he told me that prosperity was round the corner, which is the American way of waiting for some- thing to turn up. I dined at the Vencerings last night and, while coming over, I had some trouble about my passport with one of the Barnacies. No, Dickens heroes are not caricatures, but all. mon be come, sooner or later, caricatures of themselves.

he has been one of the best friends "It has been said of Dickens that mankind ever had. That is truc. of course he was able, when he thought it necessary, to be sovere and even hard. But the wicked and hypocrites in his book form a separate class. They appear for a time, they do a lot of harm, they frighten people; as soon as they disappear the average man begins to dance, to laugh, and to sing, 'We're not afraid of the big bad wolf! the oldest song of civilised humanity.

"Dickens is the most English of English writers. But howaver completely and perfectly English he may be, Dickens remains univerani. A Frenchman of 1935 can read him with pleasure and proft. Man. Chesterton's everlasting man, loves, suffers, enjoys himself as he did in Dickens's time. Aldous Huxley in shows us a frightful picture of a 'Brave New World'

future in which a tyrannical state will produce, according to the needs of the planet, Alpha, Beta, and Delta citizens. But in 2085, as to-day, there will be Peckeniffa and Podsnaps, Micawbers and Veneer- Inge, and a Dickens Fellowship where Alpha-plus and Delta-minus will unite to drink to the immortal memory of Charles Dickens."
