Women Ot1me Lose Friends through T Disputes Over Cards
METHODS OF
PREVENTING FRECKLES

1t is small consolation 10 a woman
who frechles to know that she does so
because her skin is delicate. Poets, to
be sure, have sung of the attraction Of
what IS generally considered blemish,
but II is chiefly in Imagination and
novels that the little yellow. spots are
pretty. In fact, they are things 10 strive
to avoid or obliterate, but at the same
time the original condition may be made
worse than the first. This Is because
only bleaches that go deeper than the
upper layer Of cuticle can remove the
discolorauon, and the process may
make the skin so much more sensitive
that It freckles worse than ever.
II there is some way OF avoiding them
entirely, If one Is predisposed to this
form OF facial blemish, / do not know
what Il is. Quite possibly II a woman
put on a thick makeup Of powder and
cod cream and always wore a red veil
not only In the sun but in strong light
she might prevent freckles, but no
really human girl is going 10 all this
trouble. / should say that the best
way Of doing Is to take ordinary precau-
tinns against making freckles as bad as
they can be, and use gentle bleaches all
the time. IL in the autumn one wishes

CONVERSATION OF ENGAGED
WOMEN OFTEN ABSURD

Two types OF girls who sometimes
make themselves very ridiculous IN the
country or at the shore are those who
are engaged or newly married They
seem to be possessed with an idea that
they are abnormally important. and they
make themselves so conspicuous I'm their
manner Of talking and actions as utter
- - lack dignity and become absurd.
Such types. Of course. are not limited
70 seashore and country. but as in sum
mer people mingIe together more infor-
mally and frequently. they, are more in
evidence.
There is no doubt but that 20 be en-
gagged or married is an important mat
ter, AT the same time IL must not be
forgotten by those who are taking or
have taken on the yoke that millions
Of other women have done the same
thing. and that indeed. engagements
and marriages are quite common. II Is
blissful forgetfulness Of this and the
assumption that she is the only girl
to have done It that causes ono TO preen
herself like a young jay, while the null
utude stands by ridiculing but not
admiring.
As a matter Of fact, only those near
est and dearest to US care for the things
that affect as, or for our opinions and
affairs. Ones mother cares very much

not only harrows herself in doing so,
put destroys the pleasure of others.
II she does play for stakes she should
never lose sight of the fact that she is
not IN business to make money, put
mat she is playing a game for amuse-
ment- If she cannot be amused or di-
Verted even when losing she should
never play. Yet II is a fact that conf
parauvely few women can lose, even
when there are no stakes, and not be
annoyed. Those are the persons who
ignore the purpose of cards-dlversion-
but treat the game like a contest of
brain or muscle, wishing TO do or die in
the attempt This Il is that causes uIi-
pleasant discussions at the end Of tie
game, and results In I'll feeling when
there is occasion for none of any kind
If every woman would determine
when she sits down to cards. that she
will be courteous, even thoue n an

may be or IL she loses-there would be
fewer friendships strained throcgf the
long summer days, and cards would be
what they should. a source OF pleasure
and not of bad feeling.

About The Collecting Craze

Every one in these days collects some
thing OF other. or If they do not them
selves collect, they are generally inter-
ested-or try to be interested-in the
collections Of other people, especially
when those Others" happen 10 be
world-wide celebrities,
Miss Ellen Terry, with her usual en-
thusiasm. has for many years past made
a collection OF the pinces-nez and mono
cles Of famous men.
Fans, old buttons, miniatures. snuff
boxes, carved oak. inlaid furniture
and oId-time gloves are among the
many things that enthusiastic TWEEN
tieth century collectors go almost crazy
over.
Broken china is another hobby that
can give p great deal Of pleasure for
a comparatively small outlay, says
Home Chat
An old Dresden china cupid complete
would be a very expensive thing, but
minus a wing or a leg he IS Of but little
value TO those VINO collect perfect speci-
mems and pay prohibitiye prices for
them; but should the enthusiastic col
lectcr of manned china come across a
broken cupid, he is at once purchased
FOR a comparatively small amount, and
carried OF in triumph.
In the same way a dainty old cup that

FRIENDSHIPS OFTEN BROKEN BY
CARD PLAYING IN THE SUMNER
Lack of Courtesy in Failing to Overlook Stupidity Is
Often the Cause-After All It's Only Game.

It is a sad fact that the end of each
summer season shows moro than one
friendship severed or Rt least strained
oyer such a trivial matter as game or
cards. This happens. too, of course,
in winter, but there is more card playing
during the day in summer, and so the
opportunities for disagreement are more
frequent.
There are, several causes fo- this, but
the one great underlying agent is lack
Of courtesy. 1 do not expect that every
one will agree about this, for a woman
whose partner has done a stupid thing
al a game. and made discussion later
about II, will say II wasn't her fault,
but that of the stupid player.
Undoubtedly stupidity is partly TO
blame, but IL exception Is taken cour-
teously to the play there is not likely
10 be a quarrel afterward. Even If the
courteous comment or question after
ward is objected to by the stupid one,
the day OF the friendship may be saved
by the other If she viii politely stop
there instead Of attempting dis
oussion.
This. one may say, is giving the other
Eer own way, and so IL is, but II Is far
better to do this and avoid playing again
with that person than 20 wrangle alter
ward and have Ill feeling even for mo-
ment. If one does not Ike the game or
the way OF playing cards Of another the
thing 10 do is not 10 play with ner.
There are always a hundred ways OF
getting out Of it in the future without
hurting anyone's feelings, bat for a
heated discussion or quarrel at the
time there is no excuse.
Il Is a curious fact all Of us have
experienced at some time or another
that certain persons cannot play cards
without losing their temper or becOm-
ing extremely provoking Here again
h,s. remedy Is not 10 play with them.
To such persons game is not game;
Il becomes a dead serious proposition

ment Of pleasure.
Cards as a diversion ard pastime are
Invaluable but they should never be Tc-
garded as anything different The rage

and this in itself is not Objectionable

 The women at the heads of these sev- eral departments, Miss Anne Kennedy, Miss Haley. B. S.; Miss Pitts. Miss Har- well, Miss Callen, Miss Stallworth, Mrs. Babb, Miss Grote. several of whom have been identified with the school since it was established, are so well identified with school work in the southern states that they are an integral part of the south's advancement. It Is their work in the school-their interest and well-direct- ed efforts that give the institution the dual advantage over any other in the state, the advantage resulting from high curriculum combined with the oppor- tunty for technical education. The school developing from year to year along these dual lines furnishes opportunities to Alabama's young women that were un- heard of in the south up to a few years ago.
