WHAT WOMEN
WANT TO KNOW

the redness OF my nose, but cannot
find anything to reduce the Infiamnia-

pecialy avoid all wines and alcoholic

your physician to correct the acidity Of

venture to use quite cold water. Keep
the body exquisitely clean by frequent

can It be fixed rght?--Margaret.
When the front gore of O dress skirt
pulls upward and outward in a fold near
the bottom either the skirt has been cut
out too much at the top, the belt Is not
set on correctly or the fault is with the

and about half way back on the side cores,
then slip on the skirt and pin the belt
at the back correctly to hold up the skirt.
Allow the top edge Of the skirt to fall be-

middle Of top edge of front gore. and
carefully note If the fault is improved. II

seams are correct. To cover the piecing at
the top of the skirt you may wear deep
ly pointed girdle or simulate yoke with
bands of trimming.
