WHY DRESSES FADE.

Fading is often caused by too hot
irons. The fading of colOrcd articles
is due often not to the washing, but
the ironing.
Too hot irons are used directly or
the material. and this will fade deli
cate colors more than any amount OF
washing. The effect is even worse
than strong sunlight.
Be sure that the article is evenly
dampened and that the iron is only hot
enough to smooth the wrinkles proper
ly by firm, even pressure and you will
have no more trouble from fading.
Skirts must never be ironed across
the cores, but up and down; other
the fit of the garment is ruined.

fortunately, the habit of thus discuss

CLEAR SKIN A NECESSITY
Claim to Beauty Cannot Be Admitted
Without the Possession Of
That Charm.

The fascination of clear, fair
skin is recognized by every woman.
No matter how regular her features.
If the skin Is blotched a woman loses
all her power to attract. A good skin
is an evidence of health, pure blood
and right living. Powder will not
cover an imperfect complexion, but
will give 1t notified, livid appear
ance. A new preparation gives a soft,
youthful bloom to the skin, will not
show and is absolutely beneficial in
every way. 1t contains no zinc, perox-
ide or white lead, and may be used
on baby-surely a perfect test of
its purity. 1t will remove the tired,
old expression engendered by pain or
fatigue and the haggard look which
the hustle of modern life will give
to even youthful face. Rarely in
deed can a beautif1er be found which
cannot be detected, and the obvious
use Of cosmetics robs a woman Of
that air of refinement which makes a
lady. A fresh, natural appearance ex-
acts willing admiration from either
sex, and such is certainly to be OBJ
tanned by the use of this dainty
preparation

4. Never draw a gun toward you

The feature that commends Itself
to many women is the fact that the
weave is so evident that 1t serves for
decoration, and. therefore, requires
very little other ornamentation. SIM

generally sufficient for the morning
dress, while the square meshes IF
these coarse fabrics form excellent
backgrounds upon which designs in
cross-stitching (done with wooden or
linen threads) may be added.
When the individual touch of en-

excellent for afternoon wear. and al

tional than the trailing vines worked
by the weavers of so years ago, the
effect warrants the time expended in
the construction.

Helen Of Troy
By ROYAL N, GREEN

Fred Erickson was heart-keen to
the fact that he loved the girl, but, as
yet. he had said nothing to her about
1t. In fact he had never spoken to
her. They were not sacquainted with
each other.
1t was what Is called love at first
s1ght-that Is, as far as Fred was con-
cerned. The first time he saw her she
was sitting opposite him on belt line
car going from Albany to Troy, and
his susceptible heart had gone pit-a-
pat. Chance thrust them together
often after that, but without an op-
portunity to become acquainted.
Erickson, a young lawyer located In
Albany, should have been giving his
whole attention to the theories OF
practice that was yet to come. In
stead, he dreamed the long offics hours
through. and all his dreams were Of
the fair unknown.
This fascinating girl was, in points
of beauty, maid to marvel at. Her
eyes we're dusky wells of midnight
with long, dark lashes that half hid
the depths of them, and the black Of
these contrasted strangely with the
white of her satiny skin. All in all.
she was, from her daintily arranged
hair to the tips Of her tiny shoes. the
