Fpcr SAMPLES OF REMARK■» t t ABLE TREATMENT FOR Stomach Ulcers (Due to Gastric Hyperacidity) H. H. Bromley, of Shelburne, Vt., writes: "I suffered for 10 years with acid-stomach trouble. Doctors all told me I had ulcers and would have to diet the rest of my life. Before taking your treatment I weighed 143 pounds and could eat nothing but soft foods and milk. Now, after taking Von's Tablets, I weigh 171 pounds, can eat almost anything and feel perfectly well." If you suffer from indigestion, gastritis, heartburn, bloating or any other stomach trouble due to gastric hyperacidity, you, too, should try Von's for prompt relief.

Write PHILADELPHIA VON CO., Dept. 714-F Fox Bldg., Philadelphia, Pa. lines, I also find it often necessary to do hair after donning frock. The cape keeps stray hairs from your frock, too. Brenda Marshall finds that sleeping without a pillow encourages fine, square shoulders and a better chin and neckline. She plays golf or takes golf exercises and sticks to a good general diet for personal "up-keep." Of Paulette Goddard's vitality, little need be said if you've seen her in "The Women." Looking back five or six years ago when I first met her, here is a girl who has developed wonderfully in the way of spirit and personality, for she was always as pretty as she is now. That coiffure, by the way, seems to suit Miss Goddard, but is not advocated generally for many of us. The alertness, life and animation, however, are advocated for all, who can manage it. Linda Darnell, the brunette beauty from Texas, also has beautiful teeth and a beatiful figure. It seems to me that only a girl in the pink of condition with a very happy outlook on life could smile like that. She swims, rides, and roller skates. She likes an Oriental type of perfume and dusts a little powder over her lashes before using mascara. She says this makes them look heavier. As yet, Linda Darnell has no serious beauty problems. Truly a rare possession is this radiant sense of well-being. Some achieve it through the spirit of interest and response that flows from within them ; some achieve it in appearance alone, usually a matter of good health, good disposition and good grooming ; and some achieve it through an extreme chic, usually very good taste in unusual dressing. If you're young and normally attractive, you can enhance the aura of this attention-getting quality by more attention to bright, fresh make-up, to a keener awareness of people and things about you and by bright, attractive costume colors. Many girls go haywire on costume colors when they try to mix them, so here are some simple combinations that are good just now. Black with red, gold, or green. A red lipstick goes with all. Moss green with red or brown. For the first, a red lipstick; for the second, a tawny, copperish shade. Misty blues and wines, combined or separately, take a fuchsia make-up well. Cyclamen is still popular and goes well with black, white, or tones containing blue. With brown, beige, gold or taupe, try that copperish tone. It's smart and it's elegant. With very pastel shades, many fair skins will still look lovely in pastel make-up, especially for evening. In choosing costume colors, remember that skin tone should be your first consideration. Fair, clear skins can wear almost any color with proper make-up. Definite brunette and sallow skins need carefully chosen colors. In make-up, red is usually their best bet. Brighten your life and costume with some nice, big chunky costume jewelry, preferably gold. Don't choose it too large, however, if you are a little girl. Redecorate yourself, generally. This means face, costume, posture and manner. Polish up your life, at least outwardly. Then I don't think you'll have to worry too much about the size of your eyes or the shape of your nose.

Is It Fun Being A Star's Secretary Continued from page 55 of her little idiosyncrasies amuse me: she always completely dresses herself before putting on her shoes and stockings, and she'll fiddle with adjusting a hat at exactly the right angle for a good half hour only to snatch it off at the last and go bareheaded. She is extremely modest, both personally and of her achievements, and one of the frankest girls I know. That frankness, however, is not the caustic, cutting kind. She does not believe in telling others things for their 'own good.' Never have I heard her deliberately hurt another. To me she is a unique combination of a sensitive artist and a canny business woman." One other important quality in Ginger struck Jacques from her first day on the job and still impresses her most deeply. Perhaps it was because she was so green at the new work that this quality of Ginger's stands head and shoulders above others. It is her great and understanding patience with those who serve her and her ruthlessly demanding impatience with herself ! "Her tolerance with others seems unending, but nothing short of perfection in her own actions will satisfy her," Jacques explained, "and until she achieves as near perfection as is humanly possible, she drives herself like one possessed. Where she is kind to others she is relentless with herself. . That mania for perfection is reflected in many ways, in her dancing and dramatic work on the screen and in her cultivation of lesser talents of painting, sculpting, writing, and various sports. It is reflected in her insatiable thirst for learning and enriching her mind, born, I imagine, from a determination to make up the formal education she missed as a girl coupled with a vast curiosity about life and people." Ginger's impatience with herself makes all the more remarkable her patience and consideration with others, Jacques felt. And Jacques admitted to having tested that patience more than once. "I more than tested it," she said ruefully. "I must have tried it to the breaking point!" There was that day during her first week on the job, she recalled, when she found a note from Ginger on her desk. "Tell Eddie we'll shoot at 10," it read. "Check Louise for tip-do and tell Clark portrait. Need 6 dz. glossy 379 's in 4x5." Translated into plain English it _ meant for Jacques to tell the publicity unit man that Ginger would be ready for a photograph sitting at 10 o'clock ; the hairdresser was to be prepared to do the Rogers curls up for the shot; the wardrobe woman need provide a gown suitable for a head portrait only; and that six dozen pictures, four by five inches in size and finished in a glossy paper and of a certain pose, were needed in answering some fan maiL Being a greenhorn in studio short-cuts to English, Jacques had no more idea what the message meant than if it had been written in Sanscrit. So she marched herself down to the set where Ginger was working. In a low voice she voiced her questions. "Shh !" Ginger cautioned. Jacques figured it must be some important secret matter and so she repeated her question in a whisper. "Shh !" Ginger motioned again. Jacques was baffled completely and not until an exasperated director yelled "Cut"' did she realize she had committed the unpardonable sin of talking during the filming of a scene. But — Ginger did not _ embarrass her by laughing nor trying to minimize the 94 Screenland
