A pretty young girl who is not in
Our Set has attra cted attention of the
local Swell Elegants who have been
taking her around to their dances and
other places where they could get her
in, and where she has been much ad-
mfred. There is absolutely no fault
to be found with her, for she is simple
demure, modest, unassuming and ex-
ceptionally attractive. This being the
case you might suppose that the girls
in the little clique to which she has
been introduced by the men, would
greet her cordially and welcome her
gladly, inviting her to their bridge par
ties and dinners with the men who ad-
mire her. But if this is what you sup
pose it is proof that you don't know
much about Our Set. AS far as the
women are concerned, Our Set is a
closed shop. If you don't belong to
the union there is not much hope for
you. Recognizing the fact that the
supply of women naturally exceeds the
demand, a girls instinct teaches her
to protect her interests against every
attractive woman in every possible
way. The new girl with such power
full backing that she cannot be ignored
is promptly taken into the union, the
object of which is to restrict compe-
ution. If a girl is welcome by Our Set
it is evidence that the other girls are
afraid of her on account of her money
or position, or that she is the sort who
makes herself useful and is in no.
bOdy's way-a natural born goat" in
short, for Our Set always includes a
number of girls of this description. In
half a dozen years of close observation
of what we are pleased to call Society
in Topeka Kan, only one exception
to this rule has been noted, and the
case was so miraculous, that nobody
has ever attempted to explain it. Now
and then there is a "scab" who is able,
by sheer force of personality, to hold
out against the union, win a place for
herself in spite of it and force it's
recognition, but these cases, of course
are rare, most women of pronounced
ability having other ambitions than So
cial preferment. The men are afraid
of the union, because if they persist
in their attentions to non-union girls
they will be left out of the parties
which the girls IN Our Set give or in

DR.. Smith has for the last two years

meetings in the crowded sections of

THE men of Wall street are glad to

Smith. II have often seen men whose

of these men are our best supporters

Health and Beauty Hints
BY MRS. MAE MARTIN.

J. NJ. s.: No; I do not know of any
means to increase the height. How
to grow tal1'' is beyond my knowledge.
1 advise you to quit worrying and be
content to remain as you are. l am
glad you like my shampoo recipe and
I am sorry you had trouble in getting
canthrox. L never mention an IN
gredient for any recipe that you can
not obtain in any first-class drug
store without difficulty. If your drug
gist happens to be out of any article
named he can easily obtain it from his
wholesaler.
Anxious Inquirer: Large pores and
blackheads are frequently caused by
use of face powders. AlmaZoin cream
jelly (you make it yourself) is the
best remedy I know for clearing the
skin of blackheads, large pores, GER
tain types of pimples, etc. Put an
ounce of Amozoin in a fruit jar and
add u pint of cold water and two
teaspoonfuls of glycerine, stir briskly
for a few minutes and let stand until
it becomes a thick cream jelly. For
massaging, apply with the fingers and
let remain for a minute on the face,
and then rub well with the hands The
dirt will at once roll off and the pores
will be thoroughly cleansed. In cases
of tan, freckIes, chapped face, etc, ap-
ply and let remain for a few hours.
1t contains no fats or oils that will
cause hair to grow, so you can use it
as freely as you wish.
X. Y. H.: Face lotions or washes are
to be preferred to ordinary face
powders, but the manufactured brands
are pretty expensive for everyday use.
Your sallow, dark and oily skin can be
made white and more youthful if you
will use this recipe: To a half pint of
hot water and two teaspoonfuls of
glycerine add ounces of spurmax;
let stand until cold. Apply to the
hands and face with the palm of the
hand and continue rubbing the skin
where applied until dry. This is a
complexion beautifier that whitenS the
skin 1t is also good for cold-sores.
Ellen r.: To keep your eyes bright
and clear, use an eye tonic made by
dissolving an ounce of crystos in a
pint of water. This makes an eye
tonic that is good for tired, weak or
inflamed eyes. 1t will not smart or
burn. 1t strengthens the sight, tends
to make the eyes beautiful and lus-
trous, and is an aid to those who wear
glasses. Apply by dropping one or two
drops in each eye.
Grace j.: Your blood is out of or
der and the blotches on your face are
probably caused by torpid liver. Get
from your druggist 1 ounce of kardene
and u pint of alcohol. To these add
Y tea cup of sugar and put into l y
