WHAT WOMEN

A Lotion for BIackheads.- you know

blackheads7 am so annoyed by the
pests and have tried so many lotions
without any effect.-R. M. B.
When the skin Of the face Is disfgured
with blackheads, even after repeated
scrubbings, the following will be found
useful in dispatching the blemishes more
rapidly yet without injury to the most
delicate skin. It is obvious that skin
food Is not needed, the skin being already
overwhelmed; hence the tiny pligs Of
hardened sebacous oil. A good cold cream,
however, is very helpful in cleansing and
softening the skin preparatory to press
ing out the blackheads, IL 1t IL used as
directed; otherwise 1t may increase rather
than decrease the trouble. Wash the face
with a soft linen rag, using plenty OF hot
water and soap; a pure bland article, free
from strong alkali and coloring matter, Is
pre-supposed. Then rub cold cream light
" over the parts most affected and mas
sage with the fagertips in rotary motion
and with light pressure After manip-
ulating for Ave or ten minutes the skin
will be glowing warm and the clogged
pores softened from the combined forces
Of water and massage, when the worst
blackheads may be easily pressed out. Al

Smart Summer Goats

Separate coats of linen and other thin
materials are new development of sensi-
BILE summer costuning. There are so many
occasions on which a thin gown is too
cool, vet which do not warrant a heavy
wrap Of cloth. For these the new coats
overcoats one might call then-are Just
the thing. In addition to the linen, crash,
mohair, pongee alpaca and mercerized cot
ton are also made up for the purpose.
Coarse towelilg with its rough surface
makes a novel coat. and one which can be
depended upon for moderate amount Of
warmth. The smartest styles in these
coats, be the materials what they may,
are the plainest. Straps, strapped seams
and tailor stitching are the approved An
ishings. Buttons Of smoked pearl or COW
cred with the same fabric as the gar
nent itself are seen on the best examples.
Some Of the pongee wraps have wrist
frills Of self material, the collar being
trimmed with a narrow edition Of the
same.

A slice OF lemon as soap at the toilet
works wonders on the skin. The acid
searches out the hidden CRIME that may
be contained in the pores and cleanses

tiny plaits for fulness. The heart-shaped
opening Of the neck was laced across with
pink baby ribbon, and a full jabot of lace
| was brought down the front. The sleeves
were made Of alternate insertion and en-
broidery, with a deep fall Of lace below
the elbow.
Another was made Of strips of null en-
broidery, with a large pink dot and lit
tie pink in the scroll-like border. This
was alternated with pllin white null In
small tucks to form the upper or yoke
part. deep ruffle of the embroidered
null made the body Of the garment and
similar ruffle formed the elbow sleeves.
] Nothing is daintier for these little at
fairs that dotted swiss. A simple exam
pie, easily made at home, had the upper
or yoke part laid in tiny, hand-run tucks
to depth Of five inches. The rest Of the
/ garment hung full and plain to the hem,
which was attached by a line Of fine
beading, like hemstitching. The round
neck had a leaf-like design Of point de

are fad and are probably
doomed to speedy extinction. They
have a certain chic of their own,

and more pronounced. Ffchus Of embroid-

A good many uncut stones are worn,

extremely chic on cloth frocks. Uncut
