Instantly he heard the sound of trum-

He put the crown on his head and
sat down on the throne of gold and

SHE TURNED HIM DOWN.

Dear Margery Doom:
l am a girl of II, and I went to a
party and me- a young man. l was
going to one the following week, and
he asked if he could call for me, so I
said yes. At the party l met some
girls who lived in my street, and we
went home without the boys, or telling
them that We We're going. I have not
heard from him since, and that was
June 2. Do you think I should write to
him and tell him? l feel orr for what
l did. Kindly let me know in your
column. B. c. F..
If you want to regain his friendship
I imagine you will find it necessary to
write a note of apology, telling him
just how it happened that you did not
keep your engagement with him. You
really should write it anyway, as you
are in fault.

BlacAheads the Result of Badly Washed

Cleanliness Necessary to a Good

BY MADAME ALTA.

II some of the women who are be-
moaning poor compilations and spend
ms their spare time trying to find REM
eoles to rid themselves of blaekheads

De made to understand that the great
est amount OF their trouble is due to

they would not have half the cause to
complain.
Nearly every mail brings me letters
from women, begging me to tell them
what to do to clear the skin of black
lead and how to avoid them.
Blackheads are a form of acne
known by little black specks on the
skin. which some people call flesh
worms. Each one of these little specks
tells of an INSTRUCTED gland, and if
pressure is made with a clean bit of
linen wrapped about the fingers, on
either ! OF the obstruction, some
thing having the appearance of a small
white worm will be pressed out. On
close examination it will be found that
the so-called worm is hardened oily
matter with a tiny black speck, which,
TO tell the plain truth, is nothing more
or less than an accumulation of dirt.
There is but n way of getting rid
Of blackheads, and that is by daily
scrubbing of the face, Il free use of hot
water and pure soap-castile is the best
and a liberal allowance of good col
cream.
Fol two or three weeks use daily a
good cold cream, one that you know
agrees with your skin. Rub 1t into
the pores of the skin as you would for
the massage treatment. This will tend
to soften h skin thoroughly. The
cream should always be applied after
the face las been well washed with hot
water and soap and carefully rinsed
and dried, After h skin has become
soft the blackheads may be forced out
by the pressure of the forefingers or
thumb. If this fails the green soap
treatment should be resorted to.
The green soap may be purchased at
the drug store, and is not a soap at all
In the usual sense, but is a creamy
mixture that closely resembles vase
line. Before using the face should be
bathed with hot water, after which
cloths wrung out of very hot water
should be applied to the face, this to be
continued Tor ten or HIleen nilutSS.
THEN anoint the face with green soap,
rubbing it well into the pores for at
least five minutes. Rinse h face with
clear hot water, using the camefs hair
brush to scrub with. This will remove
all the soap and will also remove a
great many OF the b~lackheads. Dry
the face and rub in a little cold cream.

To Renovate Black Lace-wash the
lace in water to which a little ammonia
has been added, then rinse it in strong
coffee.
Coffee stains. even when there is
cream in the coffee, may be removed
from delicate silk and wooden fabrics
with the aid of pure glycerine. Brush
the glycerine on the spots, then wash
them with lukewarm water and press
on the wrong side with a warm iron.
In ironing it is advisable to keep a
small board s%prlnkled with salt and
water by the side of the table. The
roughness often noticeable when an
iron has been used for a long time may
be removed at once IL 1t is passed two
or three times over the salt on the
board.
1t is wrong to use soap to wash
dishes. The water should be quite hot,
then add a very little milk to it. This
softens the water, gives a fine gloss
to the dishes and preserves the hands.
1t removes all grease-and yet no
grease floats on the water as when
soap is used.
How to Make a Good Cement-To
make a cement that is useful for
almost any purpose about the house.
use alum, plaster-of-pari and water.
1t should be a little thicker than cream
and used as soon as made up as it
hardens rapidly.
Have plenty of dish towels and a line
or two on which to dry them. Have
several sets of these cloths, two for
china, two for glassware and three for
the tin and crockeryware. Allow them
to be used only for their legitimate
branch of the dish-washing, and change
once a week for clean ones all round.
The dishes will look nicer and the
towels will be more easily Kept clean
than if you go about 1t the usual way
and wipe everything On the same cloth.
When opening fruit cans, melt out the
small round piece and saw 1t for a
kettle scraper. A square fish-can
makes a capital soap-dish to keep on
the DISTINGUISHING table, and another
may contain the cleansing powder.
Keep plenty of washing cloths for the
dishes. and never allow the children or
"girl' to uae one until it becomes filthy.
If there is a large family, and plenty
of old clothes to tear up for such pur-
poses, it is better to burn the old cloth
after two or three days use, and get a
new one, than to spend time in wash
ing them. II plenty of hot water is
used for rinsing the dishes the cloths
will not leave lint on the dishes.
