Beautician Outlines 'Musts'
In Use of Cosmetics
For Charm School.
Kyes are ninety percent of the
Intelligence of any face and there

Sue Anderson who spoke on the

the Coed Counselors Tuesday eve
ning. Miss Anderson, who is of the
beauty department of one of the
downtown stores, stated emphatic
ally that more eye makeup, ample
cheek coloring, and less lip rouge
should be used by coeds of today

definite technique in application.
The eye makeup should include
eye shadow, an oil for the lashes.

i cil. The brow, uncommon to the
general practices, should extend
downward in line with the eye
and not be left dangling some
where on the forehead. Houg.1
should be applied on the puffy part
of the face under the eye to repre
sent the natural blush of the
cheek. Lipstick should be used
sparingly.
Perfume, says Miss Anderson, is
a matter of type and taste. Blondes
should use tile lighter scents, and
brunettes the spicy aromas. For
spring, tweeds give pleasant con

of the far cry from the educational

The sponors of that bill faced a gi

Nature kiljs the weak. This is
the chief argument, either true

that euthanasia, commonly known
as "mercy killing," should be per

has already aroused so much
