THE ROCKY MOUNT HERALD. ROCKY MOUNT. NORTH CAROLINA
COSMETICS BLFND
WITH THE MODE'S '
SMARTEST COLORS
Color harmony is the watchword
of smart make-up this season.
Like accessories, make-up must
harmonize with one's costume and
so intricate lias the art of face do
become that lipsticks, rouges and
powders are designed with an eye
on costume colors these days.
The safest way to be sure that';
your make up is definitely harmoni- |
nus with your ensemble is to visit |
your favorite beautician and talk
over with her the colors in your
wardrobe. Then, let her suggest the
best color of lipstick, rouge, nail
varnish and powder for your cos
tume make-up.
And don't think for a moment
that you will be able to get "by with'
just one set of cosmetics and still
be smartly made up. It isn't possi
ble this season. One needs at least
three complete sets of make-up in
one's beauty kit—two for daytime
and one for evening, although two
for evening is really better.
The violet, cerise, fuchsia and
magenta shades require a rather
bright red lipstick and nail varnish
with a purplish cast. The browns,
beiges, rusts, greens and terra cot
tas call for a rich clear red with
out a hint of purple. For evening
there are two different types ot
make-up designed to blend with the
after dark colors of the current
mode.
Lipstick, rouge and njail polish
for wear with petunia shades, purp
lish blues or to accent black or
white should be rather bright and
clear, a red verging on the straw
berry. For mauve, purplish blues
and the cyclamen shades there is an
exciting color very similar to the
cyclamen Hower.
A smart trick of the season is to
accent one's nail varnish and lip
stick with a matching flower, bit
of costume jewelry or an ostrich
tip in the hair.

Hickory, Bolton, Seven Springs,
Nashville Spring Hope, Tarboro, Elm
City and Battleboro, N. C.
A very successful quarter of
work was done by the student body

servations for young ladies for Jan

School of Commerce to find employ
ment readily.

ary 3, 1930. A new class will lie o
ganized and many new students are
expected to be enrolled. This school
is rapidly gaining the reputation of
thoroughness and students attend

Dickenson Poems
Reviewedßy Thornton
The publication by G. I'. I'utnian'i
Sons of Florence Dickinson Stearns
"Strange Dimension'' is no signi
(leant event in the world of moderii
American poetry; and its author
lilas quite defini.ely "arrived" —so
definitely, in fact, that on eregrets
her debut was not made sooner. A
native of Georgia and a second cou
siji of the one and only Emily Dick
inson, Mrs. Stearns now makes her
home in Richmond, Virginia.
Certainly not the least noticeable
quality exhibited by the verse of
Mrs. Stearns is an almost flawless
mastery of form—-i mastery almost
any poet of our day might find it
in him to envy. But though her
technique is as delicately, as ex
quisitely chiselled as a marble sta
tue, it is never laboured. Rather,
every line she has written seems to
pulsate with facility and spontan
eity. The authors personal emotions
though controlled to a degree re
markable for a woman poet, are yet
never made subordinate to anything
like cold intellectuality. What
though she may pour forth her own
sentiments rather less freely than
did, for instance, the great Eliza
beth Barrett Browning—yet no in
telligent being can doubt for one
moment that Mrs. Stearns does pos
sess a verit'ible abundance of
purest sentiment, and a soul acute
ly responsive to beauty in all its
forms —and especially, as revealed
by some of her lyrics, in Nature.
In fact, it, is scarcely going too far
to say that two or three of the
pieces an almost Words
worthian rapture in the contempla
tion of the beauty and wonde r of
Nature,
Unfortunately, space limitations
preclude tlie feasibility of indivi
dual mention, of all the lyrics un
questionably meriting it. Ijet it suf
fice, then, to say that probably the
most striking poem in the entire
volume is a' lyric entitled "Must I'
B e Always So."' To quote a singla
stanza of this production will do
more to reveal its exquisite lyric
beauty than anything a reviewer
might say:
Must it be always so that the heart
remembers
A thing like the curve of a roaJ
with the quick day falling,
Or the spice of a dark pine cluster
ove r embers,
And the wild geese calling?
Special mention must likewise be
made of Mrs. Steams' "Ode to Rich
mond," where the elements of senti
ment and dignity are blended with
a firm yet ever-»de!icate touch
"Step Swiftly, Life" is a small
triumph. And the author's sonnets—
all constructed af'.er the Elizabethan
model—are as swift and refreshing
as the very sprit of spring. More
over, Mrs. Stearns' command of poo
J lie imagery rises considerably above
the average. Expressions like "sub
traded entity" and "ijlieer as gos
samel" evince a startling originality
without, however, savouring of any
thing like obstrusive straining foi
effect.
All in all. tin 11, it may lie saiiJ
with perfect justice that Florence
Dickinson Htearnes' ''Strange Di
inension" marks another momentous
step forward in the march of present
day American poetry.

' COLORED GLASS
IS GLAMOROUS
Witii a number of new colors in
plate ,iass now being introduce!
by a lending manufacturer, it is pos
sible to carry out the color theme
of one's dressing table even to the
glass top.
Among new and exquisite co'ors
in which polished plate glass is now
available are peach, sapphire blue,
grape green and gold. The gold and
poach shades lend themselves to
particularly glamorous effects.
A dressing table draped in peach
and blue becomes even more charm
iag if the glass top repeats one of
these colors. A dressing tbale dis
played by a well known New York
decorator was draped in gold color
ed taffeta with ruffles bound in pale
green and a mirror top of gold
glass with dresser set of green
enamel completed an unusually love
iy ensemble. The mirror above it
was of, antique gold with narrow
striping of green.
YADKIN CORN
Mrs. R. B. Holcomb of the Enon
Community in Yadkin county secur
ed 139*4 bushels of corn from two
acres where the land had been seed
ed to lespedeza the year before. The
sod land was subsoiled; allowed to
stand until mid-winter when it was
broken deeply, and was given a coat
ing of barnyard manure. No commer
cial fertilizer was used.
