WHY SUFFER Functional FEMALE COMPLAINTS Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Has Helped Thousands! Few women today do not have some sign of functional trouble. Maybe you've noticed YOURSELF getting restless, moody, nervous, depressed lately — your work too much for you — Then try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to help quiet unstrung nerves, relieve monthly pain (cramps, backache, headache)_ and weak, dizzy fainting spells due to functional disorders. For over 60 years Pinkham's Compound has helped hundreds of thousands of weak, rundown nervous women to go smiling thru "difficult times." Since it's helped so many women for so many years, don't you think it's good proof YOU too should take Pinkham's? Start today without fail! Note: Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound comes in liquid or handy to carry tablet form (similar formula), 16 ciently for warm weather, and the carnation is a great favorite with the boys. Perhaps, this is the reason that of all flowers, the carnation is the one most universally worn in a man's buttonhole. And while in our carnation garden, when your budget gets low, but your need for good perfume is high and keen, go into your five-and-ten and get yourself a little bottle of the new Irresistible carnation perfume. Use it, and I defy any friend to even guess that your perfume isn't rare and expensive. Irresistible has done a wonderful job with this carnation, and I've used it in the presence of very perfume-conscious noses who have guessed this or that expensive manufacturer. This is truly a case of the good thing coming in a small package. Now and then, you may have an urge to appear sophisticated and continental, to add a little sense of the wide-world to your personality. Bourjois' Evening in Paris is the answer. Sophisticated, worldly, laden with subdued emotion, and yet light and joyous is this memorable scent. It has a "personality" all its own, and Evening in Paris fragrance is incorporated in lovely bath accessories and eau de Cologne as well as concentrated perfume. Again, prices do not ruin the budget. And Coty has its "families'' of coordinated fragrances. There is L'Aimant (the magnet), an unforgettable and distinct odeur, not to be confused with any other I know. And there's Paris, gay and spirited, a breath of color from beyond the seas. Emeraude, sparkling, beautiful, a glorious symbol of the jewel from which it takes its name. Chypre, of course, is almost a tradition in perfumes, and its sharp, mystical and oriental aura is a sweet disturber. L'Origan lingers like a happy memory, and seems to me to bespeak opulent beauty. In these and other lovely Coty chains of fragrance, you find what you need from dusting powder to definite perfume. As you probably know, you can buy little vials or large de luxe containers. To get fullest benefit, use your perfumes and accessories correctly. With a bath foam, such as that from which you see Marjorie Weaver emerging like a mermaid, it is usually necessary to place your Reader: Would you like "to make yourself a new complexion?" Would you like a velvety skin finish; to keep your makeup intact for hours and to protect your skin from too much sun? Or give a sallow skin a more radiant tone or cover little surface imperfections? If so, a three-cent stamp and this notice to Mary Lee, Silver Screen, 45 West 45th Street, New York City, will bring you a little wonderworker. Please check whether your skin tone is flesh, rachel or brunette. foam powder, tablet or oil in your tub' then turn on hot water full force, tempering it after your foam has blanketec the tub in froth. Lave or spray an eai de Cologne, toilet water or any of the lighter versions over your entire body preferably after a bath. But when yov. must change quickly with no time for i bath, this same procedure gives a sense of cleanliness and refreshment, plus fragrance. For freshening up in hot weather apply this type of perfume well over youi forearms, wrists and temples. It is effec tive here for perfume, and cooling ano refreshing. Concentrate perfumes seen particularly effective on skin or woolen or furs. In all three cases, there is certain animal oil — in our skin or wool or furs— that helps the perfume ripen into its full est beauty. In buying a new perfume never take a whiff from a bottle and de cide that you do or do not like it. Yoi really can't tell this way. Instead, if then is a demonstration bottle, dab a little or your wrist, do your other shopping and ir half an hour test that wrist and then de cide. Then you'll know what you're buy ing. An atomizer is priceless for distribut ing well, for economizing with and getting the real benefit of your precious perfume DeVilbiss makes fine ones, both for per fume and for eau de Cologne or lighte versions. The latter has a larger moutl and distributes more fragrance, as i should. These, by the way, make beautifu gifts for that June bride. Whatever you use and however you use it, give thought to your choice in fragrance. Make your perfume speak foi you, and thus utilize that powerful sense of attraction that so many of us ignore — that aware sense of scent. Hollywood Earfuls [Continued from page 6] The most fun we've had in years was watching Ann Sothern "take on" over the new Jimmy Cagney home in Beverly Hills. In Mrs. Cagney's bedroom is a huge rug which she made herself, and it must have taken years, it's that big and beautiful. Ann looked at it and said, "Couldn't you just eat it?" Then she showed her a rare old antique in the living room, an old blacksmith's bench, with nails in it and everything. "Coiddn't you just eat it?" said Ann. Well, now you know what to say when you want to enthuse over your friends' homes. Harriet, Clara Lou and Gretchen were having lunch together the other day at the Brown Derby. Who were they? Why Ann Sothern, Ann Sheridan, and Loretta Young to be sure. Sidney Skolsky tells it: Hedy Lamari dialed a wrong number the other day "This is Hedy Lamarr," she said. The voice at the other end said; "This is the Prince of Wales." and hung up. o— n-^jn a Henry Ford was so pleased with Micke-_ Rooney's performance in "Young Ton Edison" that he presented Mickey wit'i a blue Lincoln roadster. Ann Sheridan wears men's shorts in he next picture "Torrid Zone." Careful Annie, Harvard won't like. ■ — «#"> — ■ Hints for the ladies: Paulette Goddan keeps her figure by drinking warm skimmed milk.
