Time to buy your new

spring face..

Unless you live up to, which means make up to, the Colours which Nature, to say nothing of the dressmakers, is hatching day by day, spring is half wasted on jott. The new dressmakers' coloura are toocly-but only if you know how to make up to them.

BEIGE and STONE are starred for spring, but they are difficult to wear. Test powders unit you find one that looks like the bloom on a pale sitte of a peach. Your rouge must be the clear red of a ripe apple, your stick matching. A blue-black or green-blue mascara will look better than the sophistication of black, a greu, blue, or green eye akadow fresher than more exotic colours.

PINKS and PURPLES are still with us, but you want a warmer, more robust look in apring sunshine. Buy a darker pink and mix it with your winter shade. Your Apstick must be softer in tone, roster than the winter cyclamen; your rouge must have less mauve in it. Blue mascara and eye shadow is more gealle to eyes tired after late winter nights than mauve.

YELLOW is high fashion, but hard on the complexion. A pinky look is unbecoming, but not toorne than a jaundiced effect. You want a pouder the shade of a peeled banana. Lipstick and rough must be that mure soft pomegranate colour. Eye make-up must be clear and young-looking-masearu and eye shadow a fresh green or blue.

GREENY-YELLOWS are Important this season, Make-up should be rather like that for yellow, but ronge and lipstick should be lighter, with just a hint of orange.

BLACK or NAVY in spring teants careful make-up. Powder

skin must look no tinge of yellow, but the have The best thing, for average skins, is a first coat of vale pink powder with a dusting of warmer peach on top. Lipstick and rouge must be brilliant with netther orange nor blur undertones. Dark blue mascara is younger than black.

PASTELS and WHITE wolll be in soon. Nothing looks woran than a sophisticated maquillage with ingenue colours. Let your powder be a clear pale peach, your lipstick and rouge a clear rose. Be sparing with eye make-up; pale green or blue is best.

WHY

Thoughtlessly Destructive Children

HY are the boys of seven and up- wards so thoughtlessly destruc- tive?

The advent of new boys in school means that I must keep my eyes open, atherwise much school property will be damaged.

But Parents Are

To Blame

These boys come from good homes. about a dozen panes of glass in on They are well fed and clothed, and outbuilding.

They have to be con- view stantly reminded to hang their clothes round my study, pleking up first one in the proper place, to tie their shoe- article and then another, drumming laces properly, and to luke care of upon the piano, and making them books, nens, pencils, and other school setves generally at home with

When I saw Bill, aged eight, dig- ging holes in the tennis lawn with the heel of his shoe, I asked-"What would your mother say if I did the same thing to her lawn?" he answer- ed-"She'd be very angry." But hei had no respect for my property. Not till later.

Disregard for Others Property

A boarder of only'n few months went to his dormitory, opened the window in a gale, and allowed it to blow off its hinges. The same thoughtless fellow site with his feet on the staves of the chairs, wipes his sticky fingers under the seat of the chair or table, scrapes his feet on the linoleum or carriet, and being one of those children who must touch and handle things damages them in the procesa... His latest explelt was to use the cork mat in the bathroom us a sledge until he broke it in half.

I have flower borders round the school playing field. Some boys show little love for flower borders, plants, or flowers, and trample over them.

There is at the moment a large hele In the entrance hall wall. This was caused by a boy who amused himself in swinging the door and banging the key into the wall. He told me he did not mean to do it. Another new boy, In his first. term, managed to smosh

They can lose their handkerchiefs, leave their gloves in the bus, and lose their books and these can be re- placed by fond parents with enough of this world's goods. Not until it is brought home to these children-tlint they must take care of things can they be cured.

By daily reminders in school we do our best to instil the fact that clothes, toys, and school property must be used with care, but these children rarely realise the value of money. Every need seems to be satisfied by some fuiry god-mother.

It would be easier, however, if parents themselves taught the value of property and clothes before these chlidren were sent to school.

Cleaning Of Oven Glass

OVEN glass nowadaya obligingly does the work of baking lins, but it resents being treated like a un when it comes to washing up!

Its gleaming polish fades to a dull and scratched surface if subjected to a pan scrubber or any crude abrasive. Treat it like ordinary glass, except that you can use hotter waler than you would for tumblers and de- conters.

If some of the contents have burnt on to the dish put it to sauk in warm water; the burnt food will soon sollen, and can be rubbed off. You can use a wooden window wedge with good effect on a scraper, but don't employ In knife or anything sharp. A rag dipped in a reliable soap powder may cleaning be used, but beware of powders able to zerutch.

Oven glass is not Indestructible, (and is sensitive to sudden extremes of heat and cold, so never pop a very hot dish straight into cold water. When your dish is free from bita and pieces, wash it in hot snapy water Rinse well, and dry with a glans

cloth.

To give it that extra gleam, swish the blue bag round once or twlee in, the rinsing water, and you will find It makes all the difference to a per- fect finish.
