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. Beautiful eyes are not only the “windows of the soul'7 in the poetic sense, but they are your most im portant beauty feature. People look first into your eyes and remember them longest Are your eyes as lovely as they can be? Of course, eye make-up ap plied ever so deftly and sparingly, does a lot to bring out the beauty of your eyes, but that’s the last step. First of all, clear eyes come from plenty of sleep, so don’t skimp on the shut-eye if you want pretty eyes during their waking hours. Next, avoid eye strain. If you need glasses, wear them—the old, ugly, horn rimmed spectacles have given way to modern glasses styled to add rather than detract from your good looks. Never read or sew in poor light, for you’ll squint and bring those aging little lines around your eyes. The lighting experts say at least a 100 watt light bulb for read * ing and close work. It is also a good idea to wear sun glasses in bright sunlight, but be sure they are the ground glass variety, for poor sun glasses, which distort the vision, are worse than none at all. Your eyes need cleansing too, and a reliable eyewash belongs in your beauty kit right next the mascara. Powdered boric acid, from the drug store, can be made quickly into an approved eyewash. ” Now for the cosmetic touch. Eye creams are important. They are different in texture from ordinary skin creams, for the texture of the efein around the eyes is different f from the rest of your face. Use eye cream every night, smoothing it well up to the eyebrow line and well un der the lower lashes. As to eye make-up. Use your eye brow pencil lightly, with short, light strokes, avoiding a harsh, heavy line. Choose black or brown ac cording to the tones of your skin and hair. Black for brunettes, brown for lighter coloring. Choose your mascara the same way, and use it to darken the tips of the upper eye lashes, making them appear long and thick. A light hand with this, please! Eye shadow is a nice evening ac cent, when used sparingly. Just a shadow on the eyelid, right next the lashes and faded to nothing above. Choose brown or green eye shadow if you are a brunette or have brown or hazel eyes. Blue or violet shadow are best choices if your eyes are blue, violet or grey. For a heavy eye make-up (and enter here at your own risk, we think it smacks too much of gilding the lily) black eye shadow, mascara, brow pencil. There! The eyes have it There never was a man who could resist a pair of beautiful eyes. They’re keys to his heart for sure. What are your beauty problems? Write: Marie Downing, Larieuse Beauty Bureau, 3509 Lindell Blvd., St. Louis, Mo., and she will be glad to answer them.

MY SCRAP BOOK by LUTISHA— SOMETIMES If times are hard and you feel blue, I Think of others worrying too— Just because your trials are many Don’t think the rest of us haven’t any, Lfe is made up of smiles and tears Joys and sorrows mixed with fears And though life seems to us one sided, Trouble is pretty w-ell divided, If we could look into every heart We’d find each one had its part.

Once again this week, we’ll see what’s the main spill that’s going on these days aroun’ and about the Avenue: in the hash joints: the drug stor es and other hangouts during this time of the year when the weather is very frone and etc. IT WAS MORE AMUSIN’ THAN CONFUSIN’— Why it should snow for the first time on Halloween for a long time. Many were surprised to see those large white snowflakes failin’ down to the good earth. Although some were almost praying that it wtould quit, but mother nature had better plans, and so it snowed a*l night. THE MIDNITE SHOW At the Ritz last Saturday night was tops, yes indeed- Why it was jammed and everyone got their 27c worth and you can bet everything was on. CALLIN’ ALL CARS— CALLIN’ • - ALL CARS - - Brown Skinned cat with dark hair, brown eyes, weight about 175 pounds, very comical in deed, was seen pushing a fine black sedan roaster—answering to the name of Raymond Alexander. “OH! A MILITARY CHEST’’ SEEMS TO SUIT THE LADIES BEST”— Yes my frans!—that well known Cat Jimmy Lazine was spotted a long the stroll- Aitho he was sharped down in a whole Uncle | Sam outfit he’s yet breaking the women’s hearts. This time it was between Velma Murrell and Char lotte Preston. A SQUARE DEALER Blondie is quite upset—his girl friend down yonder in Ala- wrote him a letter, asking him to sand her a time keeper for Xmas. better start savin’ that small change R. L. SLOWLY BUT SURELY— W- M. is gradually winding up his way back to a certain Chick, like a spider making himself a web What’s your story W? Marcus Douglas left for Illinois last week, also left word to tell the many... .that he would be back to his ole’ stompin’ grounds Christ mas! DEFENSE NEEDED Fighting on the streets has be come youth’s ambition today. A group of Nazi Germans attacks the enemy and all of them beats him up. That is exactly what happen ed after the free dance last week. It was the second gang fight sines the other dance- Floyd Wtebb hap pened to be the enemy. Altho war is going on in the European coun tries, and all of you boys have the will to fight, including your draft cards, pleaz don’t fight on the streets or in Dance halls. If you want publicity, the boxing ring is yet open. THREE IS NOT A CROWD At least that’s what George Station thinks. He is having a heck of a time trying to choose between M- J... and C- S- So he paid both their ways to the dancu. The only trouble was, he couldn’t dance with but one at a time. MAN ADVANCED Viewing the situation from i glance it seems that David Hughes is second man to the major. At last he has struck the luck with a race business man for his boss. OMAHA U GOSSIP Well it seems that those qua t ers are not coming in as fast this year as those dimes did last year The crowd all had comfortable seats and the strutters that strut around all night, had no hard time going around the large noisy cir cle. The soldiers occupied half of nv£r on our left v.e spott Blick, looking fine as ever and trying that same line on a Sjtudri i Chprlotte J^amerson wfes in high spirits. She actually fought five boys at once. Little Frampton got the most and worst licks. Mac Franklin was going a round in circles with a grip full of team clothes. Laura F. was sitt ing under the clock with Herman P<wchie Mease was engrossed in army men- Mabe she wanted someone to protect her at the mid night sho! Jimmy Lazine was carrying a red army compact not knowing whether to give it to Charlotte Preston or Velma Mur rell. Johnny Lee was breakm’ some studds heart. Anabelle King was attracting the little Johnson boy’s attention. Emmett Janus Was looking for someone who would bet on a team. Looking down at the players. The two Preston boys were pretty swift, if they keep it up they’ll be great stars someday. The usual play 'i s were playing around looking Mayjbee things will be more livier the coming week, because when everyone buys their cards everyone will be there. Flash your gleamers upon Wen dell Jenkins fine black and white draped hat- It is really the lick; and do the Chicks give him credit for picking such a becomin’ hat. Modelling a pea green turban, we spotted the former Lyndell P.. Her reason for wearing this cute green turban is so confusin’ cause she’s never been accustomed to wearing turbans! It must be love—Edgar Alford 3ent Gloria Monday a pint of ice cream Sunday. Ain’t many Cats that will do a good thing like that ; WEINER SHOP— 24th and LAKE ST. Going north on 24th Street, w i , find ourselves at the American Weiner Shop. Just in time to se a mix-up. A bad black thunder boat with an 111, license drove up 'and two half high Cats entered I this shop. The waiter with the water took their order. Then they decided to stand up by the dead beat machine and lend the mus c their listeners; then--the manager ordered them to sit down! This insulted them and after introduc ing themselves os FBI. men, starr ed after their shooting irons; but on the second thought they spur around the block, and came bad; and spoke their peace. After the scrap was over, the manager or dered everyone out that was thru spending their Uncle Sam. Whatta world!!! Until this time next week “This is your Weak to Week .
