Dear Madame Alta:

Dear Madame Alta:
VIII you kindly publish in THE
EVENING STAR the recipe for freckles,
the n that makes the skin come off.
l saw II in the paper some time ago, but
L did not think I would have any need
for it. At that time my freckles didn't
bother me, but lately l am losing my
red cheeks and my husband is always
making unkind remarks about my face.
know they don't become me, as 1 look
dreadful with them. 1 have them for
The last ten years. Thanking you In
advance for YOU kindness, l will be
%lnxiously waiting. L. A. r.
If o have had the freckles for ten
years it is nearly time your husband
would get used to seeing them, and
know that they are something you
cannot help. l would not advise you to
use the skinning process to get rid
1f them, because that will leave your
lace raw and blistered, and even more
lisagreeable to look upon.
Why not try to improve your health
Ind regain your good color? Why not
take a good iron tonic? The results of
hat will be more lasting, would add
20 your health, and as you must know,
De an aid to beauty.
Try this first and be as cheerful as
you can, Notwithstanding your hus-
bands haunting remarks. Then, if you
still insist on the recipe, I will furnish
1t. / think you would be very foolish
to use the skinning process.
Dear Madame Alta:
VIII you please tell me where I can
buy an electric needle, and what is the
price of it? VIII you tell me what
causes the skin ~around-my mouth to be
yellow? I have beer using peroxide of
hydrogen and ammonia.

Sg1ffb the Needle and Thread.

You will have less difficulty with
whalcbones slipping from the sheath if
you first puncture a hole in each end
of the bone. This can be done with the
hot typography needle or a hot wire
hairpin.
Never sew with a bent needle. 1t is
out of the question to do good work
with it, and never pin the work to the
hem. Sit well back in your chair, keep
your back straight and hold the work
up to you, instead of bending over to it.
These little hints are important, as
they insure far less fatigue.
A buff and white dimity, trimmed
with white collar, cuffs and belt, makes
a neat-looking house dress. 1t would
be attractive in a simple shirtwaist
style, preferably a semi-blouse with
sailor collar, short sleeves and white
cuffs. Fashion the belt two inches
wide and finish at the left front side

ON THE
ROAD TO TOMORROW
CONCERNING A WHOEVER.
BY MARGERY DOOM.

Dear Miss Doom:
L am a girl of 81. 1 met a young man
at a private dance and my aunt made
me acquainted with him. l like him
very much. He asked me to go to a
card party Friday evening and my
mother won't let me go, because he has
been a widower for two years. He is
a very fine man and is nine years older
than I am. My aunt advised me to go
with him, and she says if he was no
gentleman she would not tell me to 20
with him. He is her brother-in-law.
Now, Miss Doom, would you kindly ad-
wise me what to do, as l would like to
go to the card party Friday.
WAITING.
L do moi think your mother is quite
just in this matter. She should not
object to this man because he is a
widower. particularly as your aunt has
such a good opinion of him. There
would be no harm in your going to a
caro- party with him. Tell your mother
how you feel about the matter. Per-
haps you will be able TO overcome her
objections.

WEARING A CORONET BRAID.

My Dear Miss Doom:
am a girl of IS, and wear a coronet
braid made from a switch. The young
mar l go with is always saying l have
such beautiful thick hair, and as L
didn't tell him right away that my braid
was not my own, 1 am ashamed to tell
him now. What shall do? hate to
deceive him. BELLA d.
There is no reason why you should be
ashamed of wearing a coronet braid.
OF course, it will be rather awkward to
tell him now, since you have waited so
long, but the next time he remarks
about your hair just say in a casual
way that the braid was made from a
switch 1 do not believe he will take it
very much to heart.

instruments, and the prices vary ac-
cording to quality. Surely you do not
intend applying the needle yourself.
You know it will have to be attached
to an electric battery, and operated by
an expert specialist. You better on
suit some well-known specialist if you
want the work well done.
Dear Madame Alta:
viii you please publish in THE
EVENING STAR something that Is
good for the feet when they perspire
and burn? Would you advise me to go
to a chiropodist?
A CONSTANT READER.
When the feet perspire excessively
it is proof that they are in an I'M
healthy condition. Every night you
should battle them in hot water, using
s~alicyclic acid soap. Rub this on a
cloth and go over every inch, between
the toes, and to the ankles.
Wipe very carefully with old soft
towels and then paint the feet, and
well between the toes, with a lotion
made of two ounces of glycerine, six
ounces of perchloride of iron and
twenty drops of essence of bergamot.
Let this stay for a few minutes to dry
a little and then powder with this
preparation: Fifty grams of talcum
powder, two and a half grams of
salicyclic acid, fifteen grams of starch
and five grams of burnt alum. Sift
these together many times to mix thor
oughly.
The lotion and powder should be APP
piled in the morning as well as at night.
Fresh stockings should be put on
every morning, and the shoes should
be changed at least twice a day. A
teaspoonful of boracic acid should be
put into the water in which the stock
ings are washed.
This treatment, perslstently followed
for a~time, will greatly improve the
condition.

A charming set to be worn with a
white linen suit includes collar, cuffs,
belt, coat collar and a small pocket for

heavy white linen, worked in solid en-

rather light shade of Delft blue and
outlining it with a darker shade of
blue.
The edge may be padded and button
holed with the lighter shade of blue,
or it can simply be turned under and
stitched.
The design used is a conventional one
of daisies and cornhowers, with leaves
and stems.
The belt is made straight and lined
with thin muslin and finished on the
enc with a pearl buckle. The pocket
is also lined and finished with a flap
and pearl button.
