When one has any kind of skin disease
It is always advisable to first seek the
advice Of the family physician. who is
able to find the seat OF the trouble
You may be able to remove the scars
by applying a lotion made Of 50 grains
Of boric acid and 8 ounces of witch
hazel. You should use none but purest
kind of soap,~for your skin is undoubt-
edly very sensitive
Here is the recipe with directions for
using the green-soap treatment. Use
this until the face is entirely rid of the
black specks.

Objects to the Color

Dear Mrs. Adams.
/. have a gentleman friend of whom I
think very much. but he makes himself the
object of unpleasant remarks by wearing
yellow shoes. How could ] tell him about
1t without hurting his feelings?
2. Am right in thinking that It is i'm
tobacco and expectorate in the presence of
ladies'?
g., A young gentleman is in the habit OF
calling at our house frequently, and while
there is continually talking about himself
Would you please tell way to let him
know that it is not the correct conyersa-
tion for a drawing room?
HoEN AND Nance
/. II the young man likes to wear
shoes of a certain color. why should any
one try to interfere with his choice?
We all have our likes and disikes, ana
50 long as our selection harms no one.
there Is no reason why we should
change it.
2. Your opinion is correct and any
man who is so disrespectful is not fit
for the company of well-bred women.
8. Probably by constantly bringing up
new subjects you will be5able to prevent
him from indulging in personal talk.
If he is once broken of the habit / do
not think you win have any more diff
fculty with him along that line.

THE STILL TONGUE

"ROM so many points does the
golden silence appeal that I

readers a question. Have you ever
said anything that you have wished

are times in my life that / would
give much If l had possessed the still
fongue-if / had OILY kept quiet. You
know the regretful feeling. and you

carries with it unspeakable force for
gcoa or evil.
Cultivate an ability to keep quiet

Il Ouiet Wedding

Dear Mrs. Adams
!. Which finger is the engagement ring
placed on? I have heard so many different
answers to this that 1 am puzzled.
2. Are written invitations necessary for
very quiet, informal wedding?
8. If the bride wears a travelling costume,
should the groom wear a travelling suit?
4. Is the brides bouquet out of place at
this kind OF wedding? UNSIGNED.

the third finger of the left hand.
