~BEAUTY rs OTES |

By Mrs, M. Solomon

yaf we don~t know ~better (and
we do) we~d suspect a few publicity outfits of having their little jokes. Take the aparently
earnest report from one source
which says that. the newest idea
in~ eye beauty is to align your
eyelashes with hat brim.
This obviously refers to little
bonnets tha? roll upward on the
edges, thus repeating the line of
lashed you have carefully curled
in the same direction, It~s a gay
idea, but it could be'a serious
matter if. you are given to hats
with~ brims that are uneven, side
swooping on back dipping. It
could~even ~be disastrous.if you
af"act Wats with no brims at all,

Seriously, thought, curling the
~evetashes is cno of those beauty
tricbs thai give you a nice wide
awake look and we 2re happy to
discover that ~there has been a'return to market thai ever proper
sadget for curling eyelashes. It
~g called the Kurlash at any dvstart-menl-store. Simply fit the

your

lashes:in it and press in a scissor
like manner for a, few minutes,

| you'll be surprised to see the rei sults,

Could be that you 2re one of
the many whose lashes are fine
and short. Try touching them
linz at bed-time and
when making up use mascara
lightly, 2~m envlous of my _ husband~s eyelashes, They are very
thick and long, you~ll find most
people who have worn glasses a
number of years have beautiful
lashes, the sun rays have a tendency tn make them grow, receiving the right rays. through the reflection of the glass. Most men
have nice: lashes; because ~too
much attention: is worst than
none. Each hair is replaced in
six months, Then, too, if you are
troubled with excess hair growing on the face the-only good relighte method.ds. bythe~ electric

Georgia~s White Eeiecobitians

AUGUSTA, Ga. ~ (ANP) ~
White Episcopalians of Georgia
took a positive stand last week
against racism as they opened
the doors of their church to all
men, including Negroes,

They, voted to seat. Negro
Episcopalian clergymen ahd lay
delegates with full rights:in future diocesan conventions, thus
becoming the next to the last
state group to approve the antijimh crow amendment to the diocesan. constitution. Only South
Carolina has failed to adopt the
amendment. |

Coupled with the delegates~
progressive move. to banish racism was an address on the theory of communism by ~the Rt.
Rev. Middleton S. Barnwell,
Episcopal bishop of Georgia, who
hit intellectual and political intimidation ~of the individual.

of a life if there were no ~Christians.:

~T am not a Communist,~ he
declared. ~It is a beautiful vision, but unworkable in this
presert imperfect world. But I
have a right to be a Communist
if I want to be one just as much
as I have a right~ to be a Democrat or a-Republican or a member of the United States Chamber of Commerce or a_ labor
union.

~Every poor man who seeks
an advance in wages or tries to
make a little more money for
himself is seeking the abolition
of inequalities in the possession
of property so far as he himself is concerned. To this extent
he is a Communist and in all
~probability a loyal citizen of the}
United States.~
