The word “flying” Is used literally because I flew up on n Chicago and Southern Airlines plane and was met at the Chicago airport by an enthusiastic group of friends, among them Mrs. Marjorie Stewart Joyner, president of the National Beauty Culturlsts League, Inc., who presented me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. The purpose of the trip, of course, was to attend the convention of the Nntionai Beauty Culturlsts League the week of September 2. Besides the excitement of the plane ride (I must confess it was my first time in the air and I was a bit nervous nt first), there was a parade and a series of dances and other social gatherings along with the serious work of the convention. The convention, Itself, was a tre mendous success. The National Beauty Culturlsts League hns been a powerful influence in the up building of the Industry, Its pur poses, you know, are to encourage continued Improvement of methods of treating the hair, scalp and skin; to gather and distribute scientific Information regarding the care of the hair, and to establish Race re lations between Individual hair (leasers and various systems of haffflreBsIng throughout the coun _ More than three hundred licensed beauticians, owners, proprietors and managers attended tlm convention. There were fifty booth* represent ing the local and larger beauty shops. There were demonstrations and lectures for the thousands of spectators on the progress and newest Innovations In Race beauty culture. I am terribly enthusiastic abont all this because I think our own system of beauty culture is of ut most Importance. To be truly suc cessful In the field of cosmetology we must have onr own methods, our own make-up and cosmetics, made especially for our types of skin and^ colorings, and manufactured ex pressly to suit our varying needs. Such marvelous strides have been taken In this direction that I am delighted. The plane ride was Just the beginning of my excitement. I am still thrilled to death. What are your beauty prob lems? Write Marie Downing, Larieuse Beauty Foundation, Room 607 — Ml Locust St., St. Louis, Mo., and she will be glad to answer them.

Teas, cocktails, low ered lights subdued voices and of course the most important thing of all that rich looking suit or smart afternoon dress. I have two in mind for an important after noon out. The f rst one is a square shouldered coat dress of black wool. It buttons to the hip with self covered buttons. A swirl of fox fur at the throat and at the hip gives this dress a look of lux uriousr.ess^ which wins much admi ration for the wearer. i no second costume is a softly draped one of green crepe. The ! gathered neckline is high and drap ed and is clipped at the right shoulder, with a sparkling clip. I Just above the waistline, are two i hows of gold lame’. From these I falls a column of the fame mater i ial. draped the length of the dress. This costume is certain to give one that envied look of sophistication.
