WOMEN IN JAIL GET COSMETICS

There ls some lively comment on the offici-rl announcement that. with the approval of the llnme Secretary and Prison Commission- crs. women in jail are in future to bc permitted the use of cosmet- ics, states a London correspondent Actually this concession would have been made some time ago, but for the fact that cosmetics were on the short-supply list. ~

Curiously enough it is women rather than men who seem dispos- ed to criticize the innovation. One indignant lady suggested that no doubt. as a sequal to the conces- sion, lipstick, rourc. face cream. and eye-black will shortly he a prison issue. What the concession moans to women. however, m-"y be deduced from the subterfuges to which many have resorted ‘u or- dcr to maize themselves more pre- sentable from this poZ-nt of vl-rw.

Prison books in crimson bind-

lugs have bren especially popular. The women prisons-rs soak the cov- crs. and use the crimson as make- up. The official theory ls that when women in iztil feel they nfe not» locking too dcwdsz the effect will be to improve self-respect and morale.

Giving In To llrgo To llllt ls Fatal Mistake

NIH!" Ml“ l" course. for we have either caught our car, or missed it. so why chase it an longer? _. 5g great is my; urge to just let go and give up. that mil- lions of men and women yield to. it. but when they do. they . make a fatal mistake, because they are really sign- ing their death warrant. though they do not know it. They are crawling into their graves maybe 20 or 30 years before they were duo in the cunetery. and. without realizing it. we are soon speaking of them in the past tense and saying what a brilliurt and ambitious man John used to be. or how beauti- ful Mary was.

Oi course. the quitters say this can never hap- pen to them. They are sure that they will always stay just as attractive and interesting as thev are now, but there u nothing static in life. The faculties we don't use de- oay. The arts and wiles we cease to practice fall flat. hf we dolft keep up with the procession, we are dropped out of it. There is no rest for the vteary.

WOMEN MORE SUSCEPTIDLE

This is true for both men and women. but it more particularly ap- plies to women than it does to men. for the exigencies of a man's busi- ness or profession force him to keep on his tiptoes; while it is so easy for woman. after her children are gone, to yield to the temptation of slumping.

All of us know women who have been marvelous housekeepers who never serve another decent meal after they have just themselves and their husbands to cook for. And we know other women who have quit entertaining bedause it was so much trouble, but who wonder that they are never invited to parties any more.

Now and then we meet an old friend and are shocked at the way she has aged. and it ls only when we take a second look at her that we realize that it is only bwause zhe has slumped in keeping up her ap. pearance. She doesn't bother to go to the beauty sho-p any more ﬁle has quit using make-up and her clothes look as if her worst enemy had picked them out for her.

And there are so many other women who used to be brilliant and entertaining and the life of the party who have degenerated into bores. ‘Ihey have simply let their minds go to seed. They don't read anything worth while. They have dropped cut of all of their clubs. They don't ' know or care about anything that is happening 1n m; world, and their conversational range has narrowed down to what the baby said and the price of butchers‘ meat.

Granted that it is a. temptation when you get-to be middle-aged to qu-it counting your calories and reach for the mayonnaise Jar; to wear clothes that are loose and comfortable instead of fussing over frocks that bring out your good points and came flage your bad ones;
