Greenfield (Part 7) Detroit—Philadelphia—New York City—Harlem After the days trip to Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico, the world’s I most famous undergiound fairy -1 land, I arrived back by bus to El Paso, Texas 8 p.m., just barely had time to get on my train which left at 8:06. (The Golden State #t reamline for Chicago via Kansas City, Mo.) I was tired and hungry. A lasting memory of the glamourous wojmk'T of wonders.

FOR GIRLS — OLD AND YOUNG The younger girl seldom gets her share of attention when it comes to advice on beauty. But with all the teen-age girls going back tp school and making good resolutions to study hard and have fine grades, I think this is a good opportunity to encourage them to make a few beauty-wise resolutions ns well. | When you nre young you feel that the world is yours nnd that you will i never have to worry about keeping i your complexion or figure. But, if you would face the truth, now Is the time to set about systematically keeping what you have. It is a lot easier to keep your skin smooth and weli-cared-for and your figure trim »nd well-proportioned than it is to try to regain both fnce and figure after they are gone. If you practice a few simple beauty rites every day, it will save you a lot of more com plicated efforts later on. Keep Skin Clean Even young skins collect dirt nnd dust. If you will make it a practice always to cleanse your face thor oughly twice a day either with a good cold cream or a bland soe.p, de pending on the texture of your skin, | the dirt nnd dust will not have a ' chance to become lodged in your pores, causing blackheads, enlarged pores and any number of unsightly blemishes. Middle-aged skin Is not caused by years but by neglect. Anyone can have a smooth, youth ful looking skin if she will take the proper cure and necessary precau tions. Brush Hair Regularly Nor Is there any reason why your hair should lose Its youthful sheen as the years go by. If you will make It a rule always to brush your hair betore going to bed, or at any other convenient time during the day, you can keep It as shining and healthy at forty or fifty us It was at fifteen. If It tends to turn gray or become strenked, It is a simple matter to touch it up with a good liair color ing. The important tiling now is K brush it regularly, wash it at least every two weeks and let nature take cure of the rest. Watch Your Diet And start watching your waistline now. Many young girls have a ten dency toward protruding “tummies” even in their teens. Correct that situation before it is too late. The first few pounds you gain won't make so much difference, but it is much simpler to keep your weight down to average for your height and nge now, than it will be to lose ten to twenty-live pounds ten years from now. And do take care of your hands. They say there is no easier way tc tell a woman’s age than by her hands. If you let your hands be come rough and calloused from lacli of care, they will add ten years to your appearance just when you would like to take ten off. So make it a point to treat your hands to a little special attention. Get a good lotion and apply it to your bauds every time you wasit them. Remember, you won’t always be as young as you are now but if you try, you can look it. What are your beauty prob lems? Write Marie Downing, Larieuse Beauty Foundation, Room 321 — 319 North Fourth St., St. Louis, Mo., and she will be glad to answer them. Be sure to enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope. I perature in the Caverns remain a'j 56 degrees, the year1 round, necessitating a light wrap. We were told more than a million persons have visited the Caverns and gone away as our party of fourteen hundred had, almost un believable, but enthusiastic, over tho sacred majestic granduer. El Paso, Texas has a popula tion of 103,034, a thriving city. Fort Bliss, the largest U. S. Army calvary post, was an in teresting part of our tour thru El Paso. The Rio Grande river separates El Paso, Texas from Jaurez, Old Mexico which has a population of thirty thousand Mexicans. Our guide also inform ed us thaii the toll fer pedestrians to go across on the International Bridge was two cents. My next stop-over was De-! tioit, Michigan. I arrived there on Friday afternoon visied fri ends until Monday afternoon. I had just changed stations in Chicago, wheite I boarded the Canadian Pacific Streamline for Detroit. I had left El Paso Wed nesday night and the two nights and days continuous trip was restful and interesting. I visited a life-long friend in Detroit, Mrs. Dora Manly. I went to the New Bethel Baptist Church with Rev. and Mrs. Z. F. McGee on Sunday morning, also spent the day with thorn,. Mrs. Manly and I called on Mrs. Brooks, the mother of Joe Louis, bub shei was out. Met one of his sisters, Mrs. Davis, she told us Joe Louis had bought each of the seven brothers and sisters a beautiful home, all within a stone’s throw of each other. The Mother’s home which he purchased as a gift to her for nine thousand dollars is a lovely red press brick two story house, nicely located on the «prner. After seeing what I co<uld of fcho automobile city in such short time and with friends a'j the sta tion to bid me “goodbye,” I left Monday afternoon for St. Thom as, Ontario, Canada; Buffalo, N. Y.; and Philadelphia. On the modern streamline trains, travel by rail is a perfect joy. All employees lc%>k aft'er your com fort in every det ail. My itinerary was made out for for me by my railroad gen‘1 passenger agent in Omaha, was a great advantage for all arrangements were pre arranged. When traveling thru the country, one is inspired by all the beauty. The first rain I encountered was in Canada. It was refreshing for 'the thirsty crops and gardens. All race g*oups ate at the same tables with no excitement created in Canada. Having visited Niagara Palls three time* before, I has tened on without stopping there. It would take volumes to tell of the many highlights in the above cities. Philadelphia is one of the worst congested cities in the east. Our race is doing very com mentfa'ole. After a djop-over for a day in Philadelphia, I left for New York City. Arriving at the across Continent Atlantic Ocean within two hours, after traveling under (he Hudson river, we were at Hudson Terminal Depog. And what a real thrill among the hustle-amd-bustle of our largteti city in the USA. A taxi to Harlem soon landed mo at the beautiful five-story National YWCA. The Emma Ransom residence, West 137th Street, where I had a room l'or my weeks slay in the Metropolis City was a complete modern home fo,- gitis and women of two hundred thirty-five bedrooms, besides lobbies, gym rooms, club rooms, cafeteria, coffee shop, etc. In the business building all adjoining is every modem equip ment for teaching business trades to girls, and a large swimming pool and Auditorium. There are beautiful courts, so restful and comfortable with shubbery flow ers, seats, lattic, and urns that open from 'the lobby and hall way. Everything is spotless and the management is like a big swanky hotel with maid, porter, and elevator service for the ask ing. There were two hundred seventy-five women housed in the Residence the week I was there. It was a real crowd of lovely women and girls from everywhere. So much dignity and' fine manners manifested. My room on the second floor, over looked one of the lovely courts. It was ideal to sit out in the air and visit with friends who called to see us. The rooms, and meals which are par excellent, clear i enough money to pay all ex-1 penses for maintaining this big building and they have surplus each year.

Walker’s Preparations “I use Mme. C. J. Walker’s preparations exclusively be cause I get results from them that I am unable to get from any other preparation,” stated a well known business woman the other day. The secret of the remarkable success of Mme. C. J. Walker’s preparations is in the fact that they were blended by the late Madam C. J. Walker to reach certain definite conditions of the hair, skin and scalp, and today, after over thirty-five years on the market, they are growing increasingly popular, and not withstanding the fact that the Company has always refused to reduce the price on these goods, they are still in demand every where. Mme. C. J. Walker's Glossine, although more than thirty-five years on the market, is still the leader in its field. The reason for this is because it not only serves as a scalp oil, but it gives the hair that silky sheen and natural gloss that is the delight of every woman. Mme. C. J. Walker’s Brown Face Powder is not just another Face Powder, but is the result of years of experimenting to pro duce the perfect blend to impart a velvetlike softness and at the same time cooling and refresh ing. Just the thing for these hot days. The Mme. C. J. Walker’s won derful preparations are sold by Walker Beauticians and Drug Stores everywhere, or you can write The Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg.
