ADVICE ON SOCIAL CUSTOMS

Receive the gift graeiously, thank the
giVer sincerely. and II you cannot ad-
mire the present in itself ar least you
can express an appreciation Of the
thought OF YOU at this time.
Let me urge that you acknowledge all
gifts sent 10 you Immediately. II Is a
matter Of disCourtesy 10 ignore the re-
ceipt OF a gift by messenger or mail
1t Is an important social litigation that
every recipient should fulfill If you
neglect 10 write OF your receipt and 10
express your thanks, you are just as
rude as II you ignore q question.
First of all the sender should have his
mind relieved by knowing that a gift
has reached its destination. Second, his
thought for you needs a gracious ac-
acknowledgement from you. When writing
a letter, especially at this season, a short
note Is all that Is necessary. Note paper
which IS smaller than letter paper, IS
good: correspondence cards are also per-
MISSILE. A short personal message
mentioning the gift and the pleas ure
that the thought behind Il gives you,
with a hope for q happy new year, viii
suffice. Do not "gush" over a gift 70 the
extent OF being insinceTe. Remember
that a belated acknowledgment loses IN
force. because Il must be accompanied
with an apology.
And last Of this short talk, do not for
get 10 thank members Of your own
family. They should be treated with
care and consideration equal TO the civil
ity accorded your friends
A Happy Christmas, my dear readers!

Hair on the Lip

Dear Mrs. Symes.
I am troubled with hairs on my upper
lip-not a thick fuzz. but long. thin hairs
at each side OF the mouth. / should ike
10 know II IL would be injurious 20 use the
tWeezers, or If they would cause the hair
Il TO come out any thicker. ] have read
among your valuable suggestions OF the
use or peroxide and ammonia for this
same trouble When should each be ap-
piled? AN ANXIOUS READER.
1t Will do no harm to pull the hairs
out with the tweezers, but they will
come back again. / advise YOU to
have them removed with the electric
needle. so that you will be rid of
them forever
Peroxide and ammonia will bleach
the hairs. The proportion to use is
one part ammonia to six parts per-
oxide Apply it to the hairy surface
daily.

Electric Treatment

Dear MIS-. Syfnes-
Will you please tell me where in this
city reliable electric treatment Is given?
Is the treatment too expensive for q poor
girl 10 undertake.

1t Is against the rules OF this DEPART
ment TO give names and addresses.
Probably your family physician can
direct you to reliable party. The
prices Of the treatment differ SO I ad-
wise you to make inquiry at several

Tanned Neck and Face

lear MIS-. SymeS.
I have seen 50 many good recipes and
hints in your paper that I thought you
could help me. I spent fifteen days at the
seashore this summer, and during that time
my face and neck became so tanned that
/ have not been able to get the skin back
10 its natural color. I know Of one recipe,
but Il contains giycerin, which does not
agree with my skin. II you can give me
some advice / shall appreciate II greatly.

The coat Of tan will wear off in time,
but TO hasten its departure you can ap-
ply lemon juice TO the skin daily.

photographs shown here. the greatest difference
be given by two such unattended points as
the hat and the neckwear.
The low hat, fitting over the face and with
broad bands and round flowers as trimming, only
casts the rest Of the person into shadow and
decreases the apparent height. The high clocae
shape, on the other hand. with its wide oblique
scarf and its Mercurylil1e feathers in front, calls
distinct attention 10 the vertical line which
must always be accentuated by the short woman.
The same is true of the jabot What a differ
ence even when the collars are precisely the
same! And it lies in the question OF horizontal
or vertical line.
Another indication of the Importance OF the
smallest details Is given by the effect Of collar
and belt differently arranged on the same shirt
waist Aside from any question of comparative
tidiness. how much taller the same girl looks
when her collar is high and when attention is
not called to her waist line (the principle Of the
vertical line 'againD by the wide belt buckle!
It shows how little is really needed for the short
woman 20 make herself seem tall
