OUR HILDREN CORNER
A COMB CONCERT.

THIS all depends upon ones knowl-
edge of music, whether the teeth
of the combs are coarse or fine
Ca happy medium is better), the texture
of the paper through which the breath
is blown, the voice sent and the quality
of the voice itself.
Take a straight comb of medium size
and hold its teeth upward. Over this
fold a piece of tissue paper and hold
this instrument close enough to your
lips to make a buzZing sound as the
voice comes through.
Have some n play an accompani-
ment, some well-known air, which will
be carried out on the comb. The effect
is often delightful, for the comb music,
If we'll played, reminds one of a violin,
and If clever the performer may put
little shades and touches to carry out
the impression.
Two or three combs, If chosen with
an eye to harmony, would make quite
an orchestra, with very little effort.
Even without the piano the combs
provide good rainy-day music for the
nursery.

Dear Margery Doom:
I am a young man of % and am very
much in ove with a girl of Is. She says
she loves me. but she constantly goes
out with other fellows when she thinks
I will not hear of it. She told a friend of
hers hat she thought 1t was great to
have a number of fellows on a string.
This girl is very pretty, and I think the
world of her. She always says that she
likes me better than the rest. l have
never asked her to marry me, but it is
understood. Do you think I ought to
place very much faith in her? l will
look for an early reply. jim D.
If you are not engaged to her you
have nc right to expect that she will
give up the c~ompanionship of other
men. 1t would be far better for you to
come to some sort of a definite under
standing. l imagine that she does not
love any man very much just now.
Perhaps she what she says when
she declares hat she likes you best.
Let her have all of the ompan she
! wants for a time. 1t may help her to
make up her mind.

One of the very newest sleeve models
that can be fashioned from n sheer

tucked instead of shirred. The sleeve
is in the average coat shape but fits

three inches on either side of the inner

The importance of Dieting to Reduce Flesh
Can Be Done Without StarUing, Declares
Madame AAa--The Care of the Hair.
BY MADAME ALTA.

1t is remarkable the number of women
who begin to grow stout long before
middle ge. To be sure, it is natural
Tor many to be fleshy, but the majority
or women take on flesh and become too
heavy as early as 80 years. 1t must be
admitted that in some cases these
women are of indolent natures, al
though others of ~sedentary habits and
OF extreme mental activity are also in
clined to freshness.
Most women object to superfluous
resh, or even the condition known as
stout" especially in this day, when
the fashionable figure must be supple
and 1.-THE, but few know that they can
improve their condition by following a
few simple and effective rules.
Too much sleep, lack of physical
exercise and starchy foods are the
things the oma inclined to be stout
must avoid. She should never sleep
more than six hours out of the twenty-
four, and she should begin the day
with a cold plunge bath, followed by a
vigorous rundown with coarse turkish
towels. l can hardly advise the cold
plunge for the woman who is not
vigorous or strong, but she can enjoy
much of the pleasure of a morning
bath in a cold sponge bath to which
has been added a little spirits of am
monia. The stout woman must watch
her diet. This is imperative. She
should practise with a pair of dumb
bells before breakfast, or indulge in
some other form of light exercise, and
she should abstain from potatoes and
hot bread at that meal. Plenty of
fruit, a couple slices of dry toast, a
light boiled egg, or a small chop, a bit
of steak or broiled bacon should suffice.
Abstain from tea and coffee, especially
the latter. Make it a rule to do with
out potatoes and all starchy foods, rich
pastry and sweets included, if you
would reduce your weight. Do with
as little meat as possible, and eat fresh
vegetables instead. Fresh lettuce, Gu
cumbers, tomatoes, radishes, crosses
and berries may be eaten at will, out
in the case of salads, o must omit
oil from the dressing.

SHE v AN ACTOR.

Dear Margery Doom:
l am a young girl and am in love
with a fellow who is an actor. I do
not know him to speak to, but when
we meet he always tips his hat. Do
you think it would be wrong for me to
speak to him the next time I see him?

me. Please tell me what to do, as /

him. SIXTEEN.
I would advise you to forget all
about this man. An i%nfatuation such

an affection. They laugh at 1t, and
their vanity grows greater. Try to be-
come interested in the young men in
