CATHARIEIE ‘R.

Answer-fl) Cno steaming treat- ment will do little good, What counts l; regular daily ~care of lha skin. Every night at bedtime wash your face with mlld soap and warm water for ten minutes. Use a complexion brush. Lather and rinse several times. Be sure to rinse off all the soap. Dry thoroughly and pat on fin acne cream. Benzcated oxide of zinc ointment may be used. Next morning bathe the face in warm borlc acid solu- tlcn and press out the larger black- heads with a comedo extractor. Bathe again in fresh antiseptic lotion, and ailov the skin to dry. '1‘ho above treatment is good for an average or coarse skin, but may be too drastic for a. dry,_sensitivo skin. If your skin is tender, give tho treatment every other day instead of daily. Whenever you wash your face he sure to have a cold rinse last. Tho whiteheads are

treatment outlined for the black- heads will also help banish these blemishes by stimulating the skin. In addition, you should choose a cor- rect diet, exercise every day out- doors and avoid constipation. Take a. vrsrm cleansing bath at. night and a cold or tepid shower in the morning. followed by a hard rubdown. Follow these suggestions for o. month and I rm sure you will see a big improve- merit in your skin. (2) Yes.

Darkenlng Blond Hair Dear Miss Leecls—1 have been told‘ that a harmless rinse for blond hair may be made of 10 cents’ worth of camomils flowers boiled in a pint 0! water. 1s this as harmful as per- oxide? My hair was a light brown or golden color, but. has been dark- ening rapidly in the last few years. It is very dry and frequent shampoo- lli: seems to make it worse. Scalp massage seems to make it look more slurs? and alive. Are the commercial blond shampoos harmful? VANITY FAIR. Answer-The camomilo rinse is i armless but. slow in its action. It is u! as drastic as peroxide.

Why the Man Who Expects to be a Bachelor by Nece§slty May Find Himself a Benedict by Choice-Folly of Confessing Past Sins

t m“ ML“ mX*I hi" 1115i Irlduatcd from one of the leading universi- 1" i“ W! country. I have no money and no lmmedia‘ prospects for a decent job. As 1 see it, it will takerne at least ten years to earn enough to support the kind of wife I want, in the style in which 1 would want to take care ofher. By that time my personal attractiveness will have been dlgcoumeq 200 per oent and half the desire to marry will have diminished. Granting, therefore, that. 1 am tobs a bachelor by necessity ag well u chow,’ I h", two kinds of bachel hood to choose from-tho monastic, or the wine, woman and song type. Which way will I find bappirless, and what do you think ‘of my‘ lire plan? \ V. W. R.

/

Answer: I‘ i‘ "iii Wm" We Ire very young. v. w. n, that r t ~ l; figzithghllufg can plan out our lives as we doarailroad journey, and t 1 as W 8 my Objective, and 1 shall arrive at that point on a cer- i n te and be somewhere else on another day, and then 1 shall\do so- and-so. When we are older ws find out that wo are puppets in the hands of fate, and that we are shaped by life, instead of our slfiplng our lives,

\

A thousand fortuitous circumstances determine cur courses. A thousand influences modify our tastes and desires. A chance meeting with a stranger "m" W? deiiiny- Our fortune or failure mpy depend upon which turn we take at any street corner. No one has long enough vision to see into the future, a year, a month, o. week, a clay, or even an hour. In reality, we are all like the hero of the old song, who said: "i don't know where 1'm going. but I'm on my way."

So it is folly, to discuss your plan of life seriously. You will change it ""5! fily. ls you go along, and when at middlenge you look back upon the. neat little diagram for living t, hat you made at college you will find that you have done most of the things that you didn't intend to do and left undone those things that you planned to do. . .

My chief criticism of your plan is that you are too pessimistic. You mud shivering on the brink of life, afraid m plunge in and strike out,and that attitude of itself brings failure. A man can only achieve as much as be thinks he ‘can achieve, and if you set yourself down as a second rater, you will be one. ,

So don't start out in life with the-belief that you will never be able to mike enough money to support a family before you are puddle-aged: Hund- reds of thousands of other young men with less intelligence, with less educa- tion, and with less ability than you do it, so why should you not also be a go-getter? »

No: need you consider it necessary to wait to many until you can pro- vide a wife with a palace to live in and Rolis-Royces to ride in. The right sort of o. woman is not a gold-digger and she enjoys workingshoulder to shoulder with the man she loves and helping him win out

Another mistake Youmake is in thinking that when you are 30 your personal attractiveness will have been discounted 200 per cent, and that half of your desire to marry will have diminished. On the contrary, a man of 30 is a thousand times more attractive in looks, in personality, in manners and conversation than any oallow boy, and it is only then that he really begins to long to marry and settle down and have s home.

So a fig for your plans about. not marrying until after you have made a fortune, and about being so blsso at 30 that you will have lost interest in all women. The first pretty girl you come across who has the come-hither look in her eye for you will change all of your theories on that. subject, And you will find when you get to bo 30 that you are not the doddering old man you think you will be, but an alert youngster, justms interested in the fem- inine sex as ever. .

And in case you do not marry, the kind of old bachelor you will make is also on the knees of the gods. We do not consciously choose our types. We grow info them by slow degrees, without knowing how it happens. '

But whether you are one of the old bachelors who are jolly and gener- ous and like an answer to prayer w all their relatives, or a sour and cynical and tight-nsted old bachelor whom everybody fears and dreads, ‘depends upon your sttitudo inward life and whether you let the inevitable trials and tribulations of existence sour or sweeten you.

But, in any case whether the old bachelor is monastic or a rounder. he is a. lonely old chap at last and onewho misses the best of life, so take my tip Ind don't. be one. DQ310115’ DIX-

_ I ‘I O I O I O I C Dear Miss Dix-f have lived a wild life and three years ago had an af- fair thst proved tragic.

YOUR. BEAUTY IN SUMMER. Slenderlzing Exercise for the Summer

Perhaps you are one of the unlucky ones who take on weight in worm weather, If so, now is the time to start taking precautions against the tendency. Summertime is always tile most difficult season lor those in- clined to be plump as less strenuous exercise is taken than during the colder days and more sweetened drinks are indulged in which odds to one's weight.

Too much hiking outdoors is not ad- visable in very hot weather, as it is rather too fatiguing, but simple set- ting-up exercises should be taken re- gularly every day. First perform simple exercises to llmber and loosen up the muscles and then take the special exercises that you need‘ to keep your figure trim and your mus-I cles firm and supple.

A simple exercise for reducing the hips. which will occasion no fatigue. consists in bending the body to the sides from the natural waist line. Stand erect, throw the shoulders and elbows well back, Take a deep breath and contract the muscles of the ad- domen. Place tho hands on the hips and bend first toward the right, low- ering the right arm while bending till the tips of the fingers touch the ground at the side (Fig. i.) Raise slowly to original position and repeat. bending to the left side. Repeat ten to twenty times alternately to right and left] '

Another good exercise to reduce tho hips is the pendulum swing. Stand on a low stool or a thick book and steady yourself with the left hand while you swing the right leg from the hip, pendulum fashion, without bending the knee. Take a short, slow motion at first and gradually swing the leg higher with every movement. Reverse and swing" the left leg while steadylng yourself‘ with the right hand. Swing each leg ten to fifty times morning and night. Fig. Z.)

Waist and Abdomen

The best way to reduce the ab- domen and waist is by exercise cor- rect posture, deep breathing and wise diet, Remember, however. that ox- erciso should be taken ‘ ‘y at first and gradually increased as your muscles become accustomed to them. .

Deep breathing practiced regularly

meals is an excellent reducer of waist and abdomen. Stand erect preferably in the fresh air, or before an opon window. Place your hlnds on your hips and inhale from the vory depths of your lungs. hold the breath for a second or two, then gradually exhale with an even whistling sound until you feel that you have emptied your lungs. Then start and inhale again slowly and deeply. Repeat ten to twenty times.

Another breathing exercise that may be taken alternately with the exercise above is ls follows: Stand

three times a day before and after

Two exercises for reducing wldo hlp‘

tractcd throughout the bending.

Rest by taking three deep breaths between the exercise, Next lie. flat on your back and slowly raise first‘ the right leg and then the left leg; as you raise one leg, lower tho other one. Repeat fivs to fen times with each leg. Then raise both logs w s pa:- pendicular position and lower them slowly to the floor. You may bend the knees to practice the exorcise, but try to keep your knees stiff u your muscles become stronger. Do not re- peat this exercise too many times in succession until you can do it easily, without strain.

Vary the exercise above with tho following, which is also vofi’ strengthening to the muscles of the abdomen and waist: Lie flat on your back, and, keeping your heels on the floor, rise to a sitting , ition. Begin the exercise by tossing the arms for- ward to give the body an impetus, then in’ to do it by crossing tho arms over the chest. Wli-len it becomes easy to perform in both these arm positions, increase its pull by cissping the hands at the back of the neck. thus coming to a. sitting position (Fig, 8.) Reject five times and grad- ually increase tbs number of repeti- tions after your muscles have been limbered up. To obtain results, how- ever, you must take the exercises daily; they become easier to do as you practice them regularly night and morning.

Need for Regular Exercise . Without regular exercise '- woman can seldom enjoy really good health especially if she is above the ago of 30 or 40. At this ago the tendency to put on flesh is very common,,whi‘.e at the some time the muscles become weak and flabby. Perhaps. one-half of the women who complain of weak- ness and lack of pep are weak from want of systematic exercise. There is nothing constitutionally wrong, but disuse of the muscles results in their becoming flabby. Such women find i: wearyifl! to stand erect, a short walk tires them. ” ‘ “ becomes trouble- some, and in addition they often suffer from headache and low, de- pressed spirits. Then too, there are other evils arising from lack of exercise; the " is ' “ ution comes on, and the system is more or less pOlSOHQfL. ‘Ibis condition pro- duces rnuddlness of the skin, and is the most common cause of s poor complexion. _ ' The good effects 6f thou systematic movements are that they increase the clnioity of tho lungs and stimulate tho flow‘ of ‘blood throughout the whole body. In consequence all the organs of the body become more active, the blood is purer, the per- Iblratlon is freer. and tho skin ll healthier. Women above the ago of 30 who have not yet acquired the habit of daily exorcise have no ides of the great benefits that they are denying themsolvoa- -

erect and raise the arms abovo the head, palms facing outward. Inhale a deep breath and at the suns time rise on your toes, and take five steps forward. Exhale as you gradually ‘lower your arms to aides and let your heels come down at the some time. Repeat ton tn twenty time before and after meals and notice the ro- sult in one month's time.

Here are several more exorcism that you may take regularly, provided that you donot attempt to do them too ‘many times in succession. Stand erect Ind clasp the hands over the ab- domen. Send from ‘the waist six time, koeplnl Ina muscles well oun-

Magic In Bar Of Soap

There ls real magic in I b" ‘>1 591p. Only when the modern house- kggpgf stops to think of the strides the present. age of civilization has made toward health cleanliness, can ghg yield proper tribute, toward this essential itiem of her household sup- plies. For kitchen, laundry, bathroom and house-cleaning all demand their share of soap.

To be sure soap is soap, but 1 know of no item on the list of supplies that will reply more for judgment in buy- ing and skill in using. So much has been done of late by manufacturers tn make this particular product more effective in its cleanslnfl. more con- venient-moro attractive and easy to use, that you might be interested in some of our findings.

A glimpse of one of the factories where soap is made, and where-by tho way-the chemistfwork with in- finite precision, is always more illum- inating. Huge kettles of the mixed fats, in the form of clean, clear oils with just the right proportion of cau- stlc alkali, are assembled in carefully calculated formulas. In these kettles, the white soap looks much like whip- ped cream, while the yellow soap has a. color and texture like custard mix- tures.
