NAMING THE DAY.

Dear Miss Doom:
When a girl becomes engaged should
the time be set for the marriage? 1
have been engaged about a year, but
as there was no time named for the
wedding, I don know what to do. My
friend has never spoken about it from
the time of u engagement. and I
don't like to say anything to him, but
l would like to know, as l would like
to get ready, and 1 don't want to be
fooled. Please tell me what | ought to
do about it? MARY c.
1t is usual for the man to consult the
girl abou the date, since he has
not done so it is perfectly proper for
you to have a talk with him on the
matter. 1t is certainly your privilege
to set the day. You should not hest
tate to breach the subject to him. If
you cannot have perfect confidence in
n another now, you can hardly ex-
pect to enjoy the confidence that should
exist between married people after you
are married. I would advise you to tell
him that you are prepared to set the
day.

Though possessing a British ladyship for a
grandmother and being otherwise well con-
nected. the hero of the narrative, Frank Softly,
who tells the story of his life, is early cast
upon his own resources. His rowing and ad-
Venturous disposition prevents his following in
the footsteps Of his father as a respectable, but
not well paid. medical practitioner. and he tries
his hand at drawing caricatures of society peo-
pie for a living. When it is discovered that
he has held up to public ridicule the venerable
features OF Lady Malklnshaw, his grandmother,
his family turns him out of doors. Being cast
into prison for debt. Frank secures his release
by working upon the fact that a legacy which
Is to devolve upon his sister Is dependent upon
his own life and good health. Upon quitting
the jail, he comes suddenly upon a vision Of
feminine beauty and modest grace, whose
identity he tries. without success, to discover.

Sur--A Word About Moes.
BY MADAME ALTA.

A good a stringent lotion with Which
to battle the lips is made as follows:
Orange flower water, 8 ounces; tincture
benzoin (simple), " dram. Battle the

remedy:
Sulphate of zinc, 80 grains.
Eau de cologne, l ounce.
Rose water, ? ounces.
Battle the face twice a day with this
lotion until o notice an improvement.
Dear Madame Alta:
I am a daily reader of your column
and would be very grateful to you if
you would answer the following ques
,tions: What is the cause of moles? and
please give me a recipe for taking away
moles. Is there any preventive FOR
them, as there are some new ones now
coming on my face? Also, kindly pub

how it is applied. Does the hair have
to be curled after applying the liquid?
Is lemon juice good for the skin?
Thanking you in advance, 1 am
A DAILY READER.
Moles are birthmarks and there is
nothing that will remove them but an
electrical treatment, and that is sell
dom successful. 1t leaves a sea- that
is really worse than the original blem-
ish. The blemishes you say are COM
ing on your face must be a species of
wart, for as l have told you, moles
are birthmarks. Why not consult a
specialist as to their cause? A curling
fluid for the hair is made as follows:
Gum arabic (white)-One ounce.
Moist sugar-One-half ounce.
Pure hot water-Three-quarters pint.
Dissolve and to this solution add:
Rectified spirits-Two fluid ounces.
Corrosive sublimate (powdered)-SiX
grains.
Sal ammoniac (%powdered) = Six
grains.
Dissolve the last ingredient before
adding to the mixture, and finally add
sufficient cold water to measure a pint.
A little perfume may be added If de-
sired. The hair should be moistened
with the fluid before rolling in papers
or curriers'. Lemon juice diluted with
water is good to whiten the skin or a
a preventive against freckles.

Following our recommendation in
yesterdays edition of THE EVENING
STAR of walking as a means to reduce
superf1uous flesh there are also other
forms of exercise that will be found
most effective though a little more
strenuous than the exercise of walking.
Few women know the real pleasure
of walking, and it is safe to say thai the
woman who tolls in the house from day
to day Is the one who is in the greatest
ignorance of the joy and benefit to be
obtained from a good walk in the coun-
try or any of the suburbs.
Let the woman who is anxious about
her increasing ieshiness take a ride on
n of the trolleys that lead out to
Caldwell, Verona or Montelair, and after
striking the country leave the car and
walk for a mile or two along the coun-
try road or across country through the
fields. If she bears in mind that she
must walk erect. with her shoulders
thrown back and the abdomen well
held in, without straining the muscles,
she will be solving in a great measure
the problem of superfluous flesh.
Strict discipline does not demand that
these walks be taken alone. The good
results will be none the less if two or
more people form a party, all keeping
in mind that the walks are taken with
a view to physical improvement. The
average woman takes too little eXer-
else. She sticks too close to home and
her home duties. She will tell you that
she hasn't the time for recreation.
Little she realizes that a tri1e more
thought of self in this matter would
not take her away from the cares
of her household, on the contrary
it would leave her brighter and tresher
and in better condition to accomplish
the things that are required of her as
wife and mother.
You women who are housewives, get
out in the open. Leave thoughts of
home and home cares behind you while
you are exercising, and mark you, you
will see the benefit in yourself in a
very little while.
Tennis is another form of physical
exercise that will benefit the figure and
add to the general health of the subject.
Dear Madame Alta:
= vii you kindly tell me what to do
to make my lips thinner? Can you also
tell me what it is makes my face glossy
and what to do to remedy it? Thank
ing you in advance, l am V. D. w.

Dear Margery Doom:

In a great measure your mother is
right. 1t does not look well to be seen
standing at the door with a young man
late at night. If it is too late to in
vite your friend into the house, thank
him for escorting you home and say
good night. If the young man cares
for you or has a proper respect for you
he will not expect to keep you stand
ing outside. Be guided by what your

you anything but the best advice.

The real or imitation Maltese lace

sirable lace for trimming baby dresses.
There is not a narrow ace on the mar
ket showing a more delicate tracery
of beautiful designs. The hand made,
of course, is more expensive and SO
durable that it can be used on one gar
ment and, when that dress is worn out,
the lace can be used for a second new
garment. Because it is so very sheer,
is one reason it suits best the fragile
used in fashioning the first lit
tie garments.
