BEAUTY QUESTIONS ANSWERED Pimples on Chest and Shoulders

DEAR MISS LEEDS-ti) How can I rid my chest, shoulders and upper arms of small blackheads and plin- ples as soon as possible? . <2) My girl friend has dull red hair. What will brighten it and bring out the red without harming her hair? (3) She is 15 years old and wears high heels to work in. will this cause fallen arches? (4) What. will make the lips red without . lipstick? TOODLES.

Answer- (l) It is necessary to scrub the skin every night with plenty of warm water and soap to remove the little blackheads and pimples. Use a ‘stiff bath brush. Rinse in clean, warm water, using a bath spray if possible. Dry with ii clean towel and pat on an astrin- gent lotion, such as witch-hazel. Take your warm cleansing bath at bed- time. In the morning sponge your- self with cold or tepid water, and then rub your skin to a warm glow with e coarse, dry bath towel. Do not wear the same dress more than half a. dozentimes without; having it washed or dry-cleaned. The oil, dust and germs on the surface of your skin rub off on the inside of your frock where it touches your bare shoulder and chest. Ideally you should wear a fresh dress every day. A jumper dress with a washable blouse solves this problem‘ very nice- ly. (2) She may use a henna. shdmpoo to brighten her hair. In

well every day with a clean brush to keep it glossy. (3 Very likely. Wear- ing high heels is one of the common- est causes of weak feet and. fallen arches. She should wear a. l 1-4- inch heel for business and keep her high-heeled slippers for dances. (4) Natural rosy lips come with radiant good health, and girls in their teens and twenties should not need lipstick. Pale lips often indicate indigestion, constipation, lack of fresh air and an unwise diet. Play outdoors for at least two hours a. day; sleep nine or ten hours each night in .0. well-ven- tilated room. Eat plenty of spinach. lettuce, carrots; tomatoes and other vegetables. Eat fresh fruit every day and drink milk in place of tea or coffee. At bedtime gently mas- sage your lips with cold cream to stimulate the circulation.

1.01s Lumps.

Dear Miss Leeds-(l) Please tell me how to rid my forehead, nose and chin of exceaswc oiliness. (2) I am 20 years of age, 5 feet 2 inches tall and weigh 130 pounds. Am I overweight? t3) I have grly eyes and auburn hair. which are my best colors? HELEN.

Answer-ti) The excessive oiliness of your skin is a disorder of the oil glands called seborrhea oleosn, and demands constitutional as well as lo- cal. treatments. By this I mean that besides using astrlngents on youlrskin, you must revise your diet and, possibly, engage in some inter- nal house-cleiining. A very im- portant port of the treatment is to avoid constipation. Do not take

take abdomlnlil exercise. if you are constipated. ._ Drink several gllssfuls

1 of water on arising in the morning.

and also between meals, making a. total of eight glassfuls a diiy. Omit all fatty meats, fried foods, mayon- naise, cream, rich gravy. Eat free-

bngc. Use very little butter. Take meat only once a day and eat mod- erately of starchy vegetables. plenty of warm water and soap to cleanse your face and body every night. After rinsing your flee in clean. warm water, rinse it for sev- erol minutes in cold water; dry and a‘. mi nil imtrinzent skin lotion. In the morning wash your face in cold water, dry and repeat the astringent application. Once a week have a mask of clean absorbent cotton moll- tened in the astringent lotion. Leave this on for half In hour. (2) You are twelve pounds lbovc the overole weight for your age 0nd heilht.

Flights of Fancy _ By_Miss_1_Worrow

Another poem written by Anne Spencer Morrow. Col. Lindbergh’: n- lmcce, is being widely ﬂ-nrlnted lust now. It ll thought that the writer had been inspired by her ﬂight with the famous aviator. It appeared in April, 1028. after the Lone Eagle's first visit to Mexico City, where he met Miss Morrow and took her up in his mlchlne.

The poem, entitled "Height." rune: when I was young I felt so small And frightened, for the world was

And even grasses seemed w me

A fol-eat of intensity.

Until I learned that I could grow

A glance would leave them far below. Spanning n. tree's height with my" eye. Suddenly I seemed u high;

And fixing on u star _I grew-

I pushed my head against the blue;

' Still, like a. slnslne bird. I ﬁnd

Rapture to leave the grass behind. And sometimes, standing in n. crowd, My lips are cool against a cloud.

Wuhing Tobie Silver

All easy way to wash table silver is to put it in a. wire draining basket, having a. handle. Place it in a pan of scalding hot suds and scrub the silver with a. hand mop. Then pour a. kettle of boiling water over it and allow it to drain.

. _ Where To Keep It Olive oil should be kept in a. cool. dark place. Salt, soap and cheese should be kept in dry places. Baby Bib: ‘ Cut a. Turkish towel into quarters and it will make four nice, service- able bibs for the baby.

An extremely smart afternoon bag made in black for "carrying on the hands has its flat embroidered with silver and gold metallic thread. The backstrap is smaller than usual-for sake of smartnea. A large envelope bag made of black suede has a small watch in place of a monogram or other omamement. It la fixed with two loops that conceal the futeninﬂ- This watch may be detached at any time without hurting the general ll!- peci-ancc of the bag. One soft pouch bag that is quite large and almost square has a novel fastening device. The outer flap, which has rounded of‘! corners, liasa deep oval opening that is bound with a steel metal rim. The bag strap extends about the bag ﬂllﬂl then is drawn through this opening and snapped inside.

If my 800d llllsbmd ‘mmmed of this it would break his heart. because he loves this man like a brother and trusts him absolutely-

Now I don't love this man, though he fascinates me, and I do love my husbiind.~What I want to know is. why don't I end this affair? I don't know myself. I have done nothing wrong unless it is wrong to have kept his letters. I never answered them.

A TROUBLED WOMAN.

Answer: _

If you will recall the episode of Mother Eve and the serpent, you will get a line on your conduct. You are doing as you are doing because women have a hereditary tendency, that they seem unable to resist, that uiakesthem daily with every temptation that comes their way, and the ‘more risky a. thing is

the more it allures them.

In the long proces of evolution women have changed allot, but they have never lost their hankering after forbidden fruit. So you are Just running true to form when you follow in your greatest-gralldiliothens footsteps and lend an attentive ear‘ to the snake in the grass whose head you know you ought to squash instead of listening to his glib tongue. You know perfectly well that the some thing is going to happen to you that happened to Grandma Eve if you go onylistening. You are going to lose your husband and get chucked out of you". good home, and the gates of Paradise will shut for- ever behind you.

You have seen the same thing happen to a. lot of other women. You know u dozen ﬂirtatious that have ended in tragedies. You know a lot of bitter, disgruntled women eking out a bare living on alimony, and a lot of ill-reared, cynical, precociously world-wise, half-orphan children that are the result of romances that woman intended to keep innocent, but which didn't look that way to their husbands when they found out about them, nor sound that way in the divorce court. ' V

They know how such affairs end. So do you. That didn't keep them from playing with ﬂreand burning their ﬁngers however, and probably it won't keep you from dallying with the flames.‘ But I am warning you. When it is all ove‘: and yeu have wrecked your home and deprived your children of a father's care and inﬂuence, don't say I didnt tell you. l

First, it is woman's insatiable love of adventure, lier morbid craving for

_ thrills that makes you listen to this man's lovemaking, and then it is vanity.

lfilsbcizds, no matter how good and kind they are, seldom waste much time in ﬂattering their wives and telling them that their eyes are like violets drenched in dew. and how wonderful is the curve of their cheek, and that they nevcr saw anything so lovely as the way the hair grows Qnjhe back of their n§ks. A husband's commendation, if any, is more apt to be about the excellence of the bread and the paring dolvn of the butcher's bill, ‘and B. woman just naturally hungers and thirsis for the brand of jolly that. she was used to in lier girlhood days.

Also, there is curiosity. A married woman is devoured by the desire to know whether she has lost the bait with which she used to catch them, as if anything should happen to John—which she hopes and prays won't—but IF it did, whether she could marry again.

That is wliy married women, even those who have good husbands and who really lo\'e their husbands, get into the foolish ﬂirtatious that wrgck their lives and break up their homes. They simply can't resist inking another bite out of the apple, no matter how dangerous it will be nor how well they know that it is liable to give them u chronic indigestion-from which they will suffer the balance of their lives. ' ‘

So there you are, madam, and a ﬁne, intelligent woman you are-not be run the risk yoiiare for nothing. For you haven't even the excuse of being l" 1°"? Wlill Your Elly Lothario. An uvciwhelrning passion might justify you to some extend, but you lack this. You chance the loss of children and hus- band and home arid the respect of all who know you for the sake of a thrill. What a gambler you must be!

But burn those letters. They are like o charge of dynamite under vom- doorstep, liable to blow you to kingdom’ come any minute. l

Dear Miss Dix-Don't you think this thing of "Wedding mowers“ and “stark showers" has become a regular hold-up? I have gotten so I dread the mail because somebody I know is always going to have same w" m shower, or somebody else is levying contributions for a new baby. I know a working girl who gets only $15 a. week. Last week she was invited to four stocking showers and she managed to scrape together enough money to go to three of these events, but she had to darn her own stockings and re-diirn them in order to go.

I am a poor man's wife and I know I am being continually called upon to give away aluminum pots lit kitchen showers that I need at home.
