HE TALKS TO OTHER GIRLS.

Dear Margery Doom:
Kindly inform me what to do in this
instance: | am a girl of Is and have
been keeping steady company with a
young man for eight months. He is
three years my senior. | love him
very, very dearly. He tells me that
he loves me, but one night shortly after
he left me l had to go on an errand
for my mother in the same direction
as he went, and when l approached
his house l saw him with a girl on his
stoop, deeply ~conversing together,
which, of course, made Inc extremely
jealous, and l felt offended. This is
not the only time he spoke to girls. [
hear it quite often from my friends.
Now, dear Miss Doom, / would like
to have your advice as to whether it
is my privilege to stop him. or not.
UNHAPPY.
1t is unreasonable for you to object
to his talking to other girls, even il
you are engaged to him, unless you
ave proof positive that he is actually
interested in another. Would you want
him to become angry because he saw
you chat with a man friend? or course
not. 1t would be a mistake for you tc
ask him not to talk to other girls. He
and nothing, else. Why do you not
pretend that you are interested in an
other man, so as to excite his curiosity
If he objects you both can come to an
understanding.

A SUMMER GOWN OF COTTON VOLE

Within a few days summer gowns of
every known fabric will hold sway
over the spring serges and lightweight
cloths we have been wearing since the
coming of the spring season. OF all
the summer materials, perhaps the
most favored is the popular cotton
wolfe, popular because of its fresh
crispness and because it compares
favorably in appearance and wearing
qualities with the finest French wooden
materials.
One of the important features that
will catch the eye in the blue and
white striped cotton wolfe, shown in
our illustration. is the excellent han
ding of the skirt, a shapely bias seam
running down the centre front and
meeting a wide band of white lace.
On either side are two deep tucks or
folds that finish at uneven heights,
both of these being again set on with
the lace band. On the bodice similar
folds form a deep square, hat incloses
a chemisette fashioned of diagonal
lines of valenciennes edging. centred by
a narrow stitched fold of the wolfe
nanked by frills of the lace. The cut
n good three-quarter length of the
sleeves are items especially worthy of
remark, the fulness being drawn into
a dainty lace cuff.

How to reduce the hips and acquire
the 1.-THE, slim figure demanded by
Dame Fashion is by far the greatest
concern of every fashionable woman
inclined to fleshiness. Many women
are of the belief that all that is re-
CURED to bring about the desired re-
suit is n of the new mode c|orsets,
cut on long straight lines, and which
give the wearer. if she is at all stout,
the appearance of a person walking on
stills. The flesh thai belongs. around
the waist n under the bust line is
pushed up under the hin out of all
lines of proportion, and the feshy part
of the abdomen and hips are squeezed
so out of place that it is only with the
greatest difficulty that the wearer is
able to draw a full breath.
Not only are such corsets unhealthy
n harmful, but they also detract
from ones carriage and tend to make
one anything but graceful.
The only successful means of reduc-
ing the hips and procuring the slim
figure is by physical exercise, faithfully
practised. Discard the corset and all
tight clothing, procure a loose fitting
garment with a short skirt-a bathing
suit would be admirable-and a pair of
~flat-heeled bedroom slippers and you
are in readiness to begin your exer-
else. Balance the body and swing first
one leg and then the other backward
and forward as shown in the illustra-
ton here given. Practise each move
ment at least twenty times every day
taking care to take full deep breaths
the while.
You will notice that in a little while
this will have far more effect than
all the corsets ever placed on sale.
Walking is also a good, healthy exer-
else. Use long rapid strides if you
wish to improve your figure.

ROAD TO TOMORROW
SHE WANTS TO GO ON THE STAGE.
BY MARGERY doom.

Snk WANTS III III ON The STAGE.
My Dear Miss Doom:
Night after night 1 read the kind adj
vice you give to others, and L am
going to ask you to give me some, too.
Miss Doom, l am a young girl 16 years
of age. Although very young, have
been working quite awhile, but my
whole ambition is to go on the stage.
The stage is my whole desire. j have
told many of my friends of my desire.
Some say l will regret going if l go;
others say it might be a success. Now.
Miss Doom, will o please advise me
what to do? Shall I go on the stage
or not? Thanking you in advance for
your advice, NJ. d. S,
If you feel that you would have
courage enough 10 keep at work in the
face of all kinds of disappointment,
the discomfort of one-night stands in
out-of-the-way towns, irregular hours
and small salary l advise you to go.
If you look upon the stage merely
from the viewpoint of the audience,
and are attracted by its brightness,
the beauty of its women and the
e-laborateness of it's scenery and cos
tunes, you Will be making a great miss
take. 1t is a long, hard climb to the
top, and the glamour is all ON the side
Of the footlights which pays for it's seat.

THE THREE TREES.


~ nee upon a time there lived three
brothers, who started out to
visit a certain fairy, who was
reported to have the power of granting
the wish of any person who truly de
sired anything,
Now, one of these brothers desired Ia
live a thousand years in perfect health;
the second, who wished with all his
heart that he might become graceful
and willowy; the third brother, al
though a very tall man, wished that he
might be taller than houses, so that all
men would envy his height and he could
look down upon smaller people.
Sc talking among themselves and
making plans for the future, they van
dered afar, seeking the fairy's cave. At
last they arrived at their destination
and were admitted TO the audience
chamber, where sat h powerful and
beautiful fairy. Humbly they petitioned
that their wishes would come true.
II will grant your DESIRES said the
fairy. but you must know that it is not
in the nature of man to live a thousand
years, or to grow taller than the houses,
or to wave continually W some bah
bling brook. But l have a plan where
by you may gain your hearts desires
after all" With these words she
touched them lightly on the shoulder
with her wand and they were immedi-
ately changed into trees. The first be-
came a mighty oak that will be strong
and vigorous for many years; the sec
n was turned int a willow and i'm
mediately was gr%acefulness ~personifed;
the third grew and grew into a tall pine

upon herself.
She first shaves a half bar of yellow
soap and pours this into a pint of
boiling water she stirs this until it be-
comes like a thick jelly and pours 1t
into three buckets of lukewarm water.
Into this she puts the blankets and
washes thoroughly. She does not rub
soap on the blankets. She puts them
through a wringer and in another tub
of clear lukewarm water. Then keeps
on rinsing in clear water until every
particle of soap is removed and hangs
on line in hot sun. taking care to hang
them perfectly straight. She leaves
them in the sun for several hours until
perfectly dry, then puts them out the

The first thing to do in order to have
a healthy growth of hair is to see to
it that the scalp is absolutely clean and
free from dandruff. Shampoo your head
at least every two weeks and brush
your head with a good stiff brush, to
stimulate the circulation. A good hair
tonic is made as follows:
Cologne-S ounces.
Tincture of cantharides-1 ounce.
Oil of English lavender-h dram.

To keep the scalp free from dandruff
The head must be clean and free from
dust. Every two weeks is not too often
to wash the head. 1t should be brushed
daily before retiring with a good stiff
hairbrush. The following has been
found an excellent cure for dandruff:
Yoke of one egg.
One pint hot rain water.
One ounce spirits of rosemary.
Beat the egg and mix thoroughly
with the other ingredients. Use while
it is warm, rubbing it we'll INTO the
scalp after the head has been washed.
Rinse in several waters.
