The larleuse Beauty Bureau was established by the ^
Godefroy Manufacturing Company to study methods
of preserving women's natural beauty, and to make
the results of this research available to the public.
If you have never seen a peacock
with its gay plumage and amazingly
ugly feet, I am sure you have seen
Its counterpart every duy upon the
sidewalks of your own city. Maybe
you have been emulating this beau
tlful-non-beautiful bird—In fact, I
am afraid too many of us have been
dressing ourselves, arraying our
bodies with but little attention to
the appearance of our feet. Color
ful effects in dress and hats, flat
tering makeup and artistic mani
cure—all are to no avail If the
whole effect is spoiled by poorly
shod feet.
It Is not necessary to affect ex-!
pensive shoes, nor Is It even wise to
adopt too extreme styles In shoes.
However, In order to make the most
of your costume whether It be for
morning wear, _or sports wear, or
for formal evening wear, It is al
ways best to don shoes whose style
tits into your general scheme.
Strive for unity In your costume—
by that I mean brogues or the popu
lar saddle oxfords (spectator ties,
included) are proper for use with
sweaters and skirts. Gaily colored
sports attire Is now in vogue but
open-toed slippers are very unsuit
able except for evening wear. like
wise, you wouldn't attend a formal
dance wearing walking shoes with
u lovely evening dress.
The poor peacock, unfortunately,
cannot change his shoes ns we can.
Moreover, every day Is Sunday for
Idm becuuse he wears his very best
every day—and with It the same old
ugly feet. He cannot hide his ugli
ness. nor cun he make over his
defects. How lucky are wo to he
ab.'e to change our costumes, to
cover up blenduhes. to be beautiful
as wall as comfortuble.
Keep harmony In your dressing;
remember color blending and con
trast ; attire yourself suitably for
the occasion; and above all look at
your feet and see to It that they,
too, are an attractive part of your
ensemble. Don’t let their unbecom
ing appearance detract from your
well-planned costume. Let them be
complimentary to you, as well as
serviceable.
Speaking of comfort and service
ability, did you know that most foot
troubles come from wearing too
small shoes? It seems to be a cus
tom to squeeze the feet Into shoes
an Inch or two too short. Wlmt
good Is the appearance of little feet.
If the possessor must sufTer agonies
lu order to maiutaln It?
Modern shoe manufacturers have
the Interest of the wearer at heart
and are, therefore, striving to make
all shoes, whatever their size, at
tractive—ns well as comfortable.
Let your feet have room In their
shoes to relax. Pluehing Is the first
warning signal that ull is not well
underfoot. Heed it and, If your
shoes are too short or too narrow,
remember to fit yourself properly
the next time.
Most women endeavor to alter
nate the height of their heels In
order to make use of the various
muscles lu their legs. This Is an
excellent practice because It helps
to keep the legs and thighs shapely
and supple, and wards off dangers
such ns broken arches and Hat feet.
You'll never be sorry If you make
cnre of your feet an Important fac
tor in your beauty routine—they’ll
repay you a thousand fold.

But even if Washington wag to

WOMEN’S WAGES AND HOURS
IN NEBRASKA STUDIED BY
THE U. S. WOMEN’S BUREAU
Nebraska’s highest paid women
wage earners, judging by then
hourly earnings are employed in
meat, packing plants. Lowest
paid women wage earners are
found in creameries and plants
handling eggs and poultry. Wom
en’s earnings in the city of Omaha
are higher than in other places in
the State. These are some of the
findings regarding the State’s im
portant woman-employing occup
ations presented in the Women’s
Bureau, U. S. Department of Lab
or, Bulletin 17,8 “Women’s Wages
and Hours in Nebraska,” made
public today by) the Bureau Dir
ector, Miss Mary Anderson. The
report was written by Arthur T.
Sutherland.
The survey was made in 1938 atj
the request of the State Commis
sioner of Labor and the Nebraska
League if W,omen Voters. Alth
ough the survey does not include
every establishment in which wo
men are employed, data were ob
tained in retail stores, laundries,
dry cleaning plants, ibeauty shops,
hotels, restaurants, insurance and
wholesale distributing offices and
the manuafcturing industries and
is representative of women's em_
ployment in the State. In all 232
establishments were studied em
ploying a total of 7,336 women.
Of this number; 2,536 were in re
tail trade, 2,108 in manufacturing,
1,027 inho tels and restaurants,
600 in laundries, 125 in beauty
parlors and 940 in offices (other
than those in the foregoing estab
lishments).
The study revealed that average
week’s earnings in the meat paek
irn ;■ industry were $19.30 and the
average for creameries and plants
handling eggs and poultry was
$8,20. The average for manufac
turing as a whole was $14.90 Earn
ings in laundries and in hotels and
store resaurants averaged consid
erably less than this amount al
though the report cautions that in
restaurants cash wages are often
supplemented by meals and lodg
ing and in some occupations by
tips. For none of the three types
of stores included is the average
as much as $15, while the average
for beauty shops is $15-45.
Hourly earnings, the report
points out, follow somewhat the
same trends, with highest rates in
manufacturing. In each instanc
es comparative figures show earn
f ings of women workers in Omaha
j to be at least several cents higher
| than those in other places.
The bulletin also includes an an
alysis of earnings during the year
1937 of 7,201 women in 104 estab_
Fishments. The amount of short
time employment was great, over
one-fifth of all women having been
with the firm less than four weeks.
Office workers had the highest
earnings, their average being
$792. Meat packing paid an av
erage year’s wage of $747. The
year’s earnings were very low in
plants handling food products
other than meat( the average be
ing only $128. The average for
stores was very low although this
figure, the bulletin says, is influ
enced greatly by part-time employ
ment.
Most of the women included in
'he ‘•tudv worked 40 or more hours
fat ihe week scheduled. Shorter
hours were reported for large pro
portions of the women, in meat
packiri', eggs and poultry, laun.

Minimum wage legislation is al
so lacking in Nebraska, and Miss
Anderson in commenting upon the
study urged that the situation be
corrected. ‘‘The Nebraska legis

Andersont “and with the findings
of the Women’g Bureau before

legislators of Nebraska will take
steps to guarantee to every wom

« Prominent Business l
Woman Praises Mme.C.J. [
Walker’s Preparations \
l I L
* "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 r
hair, skin and scalp, and today, L
after over thirty-five years on j
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 end 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

Stores everywhere, or you can
