The purpose of this buffer, which Joan ("Rhapsody in Blue") Leslie warns you not to yank out until every step of dressing is completed, is to catch all make up sviudges that a blouse collar ordinarily picks up. Once make-up surplus and friction smears are transferred to a paper collar, says Joan, your blouse is a great deal safer from rlocnnilino stninq Hint mnkp vnn I o - - - - ' look unljdy before you start out, and that send your vhite beau ties on too frequen' trips to the H widry hamper or dry cleaner.

S. navy in World War I and 2, and property of J. H. Peare for 66 years, is now on display in the windaw of his jewelry store. This intricate timepiece, made in London, maker to the admi ralty, has been in use on the Pa triot for almost two years in the current war, and was personally returned to Peare by a naval officer. Peare brought the chronome ter to this country from Ireland in 1890. Such instruments used to be standard equipment of old time watchmakers, because of the unusual accuracy, the time never varying as much as one seond per month. It differs from the usual clock in that it has a spiral' spring, and winds with a key and chain com posed of minute solid links fas tened with a tiny pin through each link. The second hand marks off the time in half sec onds. Athena Girl Named Round-up Princess PENDLETON, Ore., June 26 (UP) Beverly Jean Barrett, 23-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry A.
