All is still but for the chirping of the birds, the occasional barking of dogs or the lowing of cattle; for the people aro scarely beginning to stir from their straw mats on the dung-smeai-ed floors of their cut stone rondavels. Suddenly as we lie is bed gazing up at the lovely thatched roof of our rondavel we hear a commotion, excited voices near the court of the king’s wives We hurriedly dress and go outside. On the hard soil tho wheat is spread in circular ar rangement. There are four horses and three men. The men glad in their colorful native blankets drive their Bfesuto steeds rou<nd and round over the wheat, vociferously shouting their commands to the faithful boasts. By this thorough trampling the grain pods are separated from the stalks. Then it is all gathered up and laid aside till a windy day when it is tossed up and down over a container till the chaft and dirt are blown away. The grain is then taken and soaked in water until the hull peals off, when it is dried in the sun; or the hull may be removed by a pro cess of poundinig for which a stamp of huge pestle is used. Next the housewife kneeling up on the hard dirt floor of her hut spreads before her one of her close ly and beautifully woven food mats, places a large flat grinding stono just behind the mat puts the hulled wheat upon the stone and with both hands rubs a smaller stone back and forth over the ker nels tills they are found to flour which is brushed off upon the mat and is gathered up and stored in skillfully fashioned clay pot9 and jars until baking time. No less primitive was the har vesting of the golden grain which is not usually of a luxuriant growth because of primitive fann ing methods. It was cut by gaily attired native men agd women, boys and girls with hand scythes and sickles—strongly reminiscent of the days of Ruth and Boaz!

She travels with her husband throughout his dio cese). aAa_ Hollywood Charm by Beside Mae West of the Althouse School of Beauty The shape of the nails depends upon the shape of the fingers and the occupation of the individual.

You have oil had the experience of looking at yeuraelvee la the mirror and think ing. “Mr, how drub I look,” and feeling drab as a result. Then, au tomatically, yoa reach for your lip stick and yon look olive again, and feel better too. That dash of red across your face colors your spirit ns well as your mouth. But don't take the word “dash" too literally. Unfortunately, too many of you do. You slap a line of lipstick across your face while mentally planning the grocery list, deciding what you will wear today, or wondering If you will be late for work. And as a consequence you look more like a clown in n three ring circus than a well-groomed lady of fashion. 8ize of Mouth Important The application of lipstick, and of all other cosmetics for that matter, requires time and attention. Study your lips carefully before you put on your lipstick. Figure out for yourself whether they are too small or too large and act accordingly. Fortunately for most of us, the day of the rosebud mouth is gone. No one wants a mouth that looks like a china doll. But neither do we want a mouth that dwarfs the rest of the fnce by comparison. If your mouth Is too small, start your lipstick well out towards the edges of the mouth and put it on ns heavily at the oater edges as you do In the center. lie sure to put it on with your mouth open ho that there will be no un attractive urn-cloved line when you apeak. If your mouth is too targe, hewever, the reverse rules are true. Hear down more heavily with your lipstick in the center of your mouth, gradually tapering off towards the edges. A large mouth needs less lipstick than a small one if you wunt 10 nuike the else less con spicuous. Lipstick Should Blend With Color Scheme And when buying lipstick, please exercise n little care In the selec tion of the proper shade. Your lip stick should blend with your com plexion ns well as harmonise with the color scheme of your outfit. It Is wise to have several lipsticks so that you can vary It according to your wnrdrobe. Some shndes are more becoming at night, others give you the proper lift by day. Shop around and study all the sliudes until you find at least one that does things for you inside and out. What are your beauty prob lems? Write Marie Downing, Larieuse Beauty Foundation, Room 521 — 319 North Fourth St. St. Louis, Mo., and she wilt be glad to answer them.
