E. NJ. B. (Posing).-There is but one
way to find out If you are qualified
to pose and that is by applying per-
sonally. There are both artists mod
els and suit models, but all profession
ais. The regulation price paid for such
work is one dollar an hour.

SADIE Engagement Gift)-Cups
are the gift that people ordinarily
send girls who have announced their
engagement. but if you know the
young lady very we'll you are privi-
legged to send any gift you please. A
dainty bit of embroidery for her new
home. piece of linen or even some
thing In the underwear line. know
one lassie who had a craze for cam
dlesticks, and a number of her friends
sent them in place of the cup. China
is so fragile that IL is difficult to keep
more than a few years and it does
seem a pity that engagement presents
are not lasting.
MRS THOMPSON porcelain Teeth
Yes, there are such things as porcelain
teeth and inlays. If you have a front
tooth that is broken you may have a
porcelain piece set in with two pins
and fitted so perfectly that you will
scarcely be able to tell where the two
are Joined. Great gold filings are any
thing but pretty and crowns in the
frcnt of the mouth are very unsightly.
IL you are afraid to try the inlay, have
the tooth filed down and a pivot tooth
inserted. This is put on by means of
pin driven into the root of your own
tooth. Insist on one thing, and that is
a perfect match. Now and then one
sees a piece of good work, but the col
ors are so poor that direct contrast
is made and every one who knows
anything about dentistry marvels

WEDDINGS Qnvitation) - There
are several forms of wedding invita-
tions, but I think the most popular
form for church ceremonies reads:
Mr.. and Mrs. George Edward Smith
Request the honor of
presence at the marriage of their
daughter,
Evelyn Isabella,
to
Mr.. James Field
on the evening of Wednesday, the sec.
ond of April, at half after eight
o'clock at st. Johns Church.
The blank space is left to write the
name of the person invited and 1t is
more used these days than request the
honor of your presence" for the SIM
pie reason that 1t is more personal.
IVY "a Red Nose)-The best modelled
nose is a trial if 1t is red or has the
uncomfortable habit of getting spotty.
A shiny nose is bad enough, but 1t can
be renedied to a certain extent. Are
you quite certain that your trouble does
not come from carelessness? Indiges-
ton or Door circulation are frequently
the cause Of fiery nose. II this is the
case simple remedy for the stomach
will more than likely clear your COM
plexion. Take a half teaspoonful of
sulphate Of soda; dissolve in half a
tumbler of boiling hot water; drink as
hot as you possibly can an hour before
breakfast. Repeat the dose in thirty
minutes. Pure hot wafer is a splendid
medicine and certainly nothing could
be more simple or easier to get. Very
few people really drink enough water
anyhow and several glasses of as hot
as you can drink will clean your stom-
a onh nfrt nI 1foI,
to tell you that tight clothes or bands
will frequently produce red nose, for
in these days of enlightenment there
are few women who aspire to an
eighteen-inch waist and days Of abso-
lutte torture. And while I think of it
want 10 tell you that ordinary wash
ing soda and water is q good remedy
for a shiny nose. Use a bit about the
size Of filbert TO quart of water.
PUZZLED LINEN-If / were you I
should not even think of embroidering
