Ten years of work at the company gives the painter an opportunity to teach for the manufacturer. Mr. Seehagen taught for 13 years for the National Porcelain Manufacturing Co.

For Mr. Seehagen, who emigrated from Germany two and a half years ago, porcelain jH'utlrg is a profession.

They are the specially commissioned patterns used by royal families." Occasionally, a design is submitted to the manufacturer, Mr. Seehagen said, and if the pattern . is approved it will be used by the company. Mr. Seehagen, who has painted special plates and German emigrant Rudi tiles for the German government as gifts for visiting Seehagen teaches classes for dignitaries and foreign heads of state, now does exclusively commissioned pieces for people in Utah. He also teaches Brigham Young University-extensioclasses and hopes to build a profession in Salt Lake City.

I have an awful lot of hair on my arms and legs. I also have hair on my upper lip that looks terrible. I want to shave my arms and legs but my mother wont let me. I have been secretly putting alcohol on my upper lip to lighten the moustache. Is that okay? Please give me some advice fast. 1 am Miserable Dear M.: 1 do not recommend shaving the hair off arms, especially at age 14. You should bleach it. Also bleach your moustache. (Alcohol is no solution. It will only dry your skin and make it scaly.) Check with a beautician and learn about the henna and peroxide bleach. (Better to have it done in a shop a time until you learn how to do it or two yourself.) As for your hairy legs, if your mother wont let you shave, I suggest a depilatory cream which is available in drugstores. It is harmless and effective.
