To Clean Coat Collar.

Dear MISS doom.
would like to ask your kind advice
about the following: Where the collar Of
my raincoat comes in contact with the
neck a kind of grease forms. From sew
eral persons I heard that they had the
same experience. Now, what / would like
to know whether 1t is possible to clean
this. Somebody suggested gasoline or ben
zine. Can you tell me which is to be used
for the purpose?
Thanking you In ADVANCE for a kind an
swer. 1 am, very truly yours, G. nj.
Yes, either gasoline or benzine Will
remove the stain. 1t seems to me that
the action of gasoline is stronger than
that of benzine, and therefore prefer
able for removing a large stain. Do not
apply the gasoline directly to the
grease, but just outside Of 1t, and work
toward the stain. Use a generous sup
ply of the fluid and to avoid spreading
the grease over the rest of the collar
put a piece Of white blotting paper over
and under the stain. This will absorb
both the dirty liquid and the grease. It
may be necessary to repeat the appli-
cation before the collar is perfectly
clean.
Be very careful not to use the gaso-
line In a room where there is a fire, gas
or any open flame.

DISTINGUISHED BEARING

A distinguished bearing is the great
est asset a woman can have. It counts
more than beauty. It counts more than
fine clothes, for fine clothes worn by a
woman with a STOPPING, uncertain car
rage lose all their effect.
There was a time when a woman
was taught to carry herself well. She
was taught to walk just as she was
taught the other feminine arts and
graces; it was part OF her education.
She practised before a long mirror,
with a book on her head. to acquire
the proper poise-up and down, up and
down. until by force of habit she had
attained a graceful bearing.
The French is taught to show
the top of her collar; in other words
to hold her head high. One clever
woman in New York makes a speciality
OF teaching women to see themselves
as others see them. She is a paid
critic who tells pupil all her faults
with the frankness of a member of the
family, for which she charges a good
round fee. When she has finished the
pupil walks well and has a fine car
riage.

astringent and tissue feeding is COM
posed of one dram OF tincture of benz
zoin and ounce of giycerine.
The treatment consists Of q thorough
washing, followed by several applica-
tons of cloths as hot as can be borne.
The hot applications should be made
for at least four or five minutes, so that
the pores OF the chin are thoroughly
opened. When this is done wipe thor
ough1y and cover the chin and neck
with the lotion. Then start massaging.
For this both hands are necessary. The
first movement consists in putting the
fingers on the upper part Of the chin.
the thumbs on the lower part and
massaging upward toward the ears,
using a rotary motion. The second
movement consists of stretching, bring
ing the finger tips together directly un-
der the chin and pulling up hard
toward each ar. The massage should
be done faithfully for ffteen minutes
every evening.
Don't neglect the base Of the throat
when massaging, as nothing is so true
an indication OF age as is the presence
Of scrawny cords.

Treatment for Double Chin.

Dear Miss Doom:
Some time ago / read in your valuable
column of a remedy for a double chin. I
cut the clipping out and put it In my
purse. I lost my purse, so I'd be very

The first thing to be remembered by
the maiden who would not be the I'M
happy possessor OF q double chin is
that the head should always be carried

tendency to try to make the chin meet

A Disappointed Winner.
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear MISS DOOll.
I Just came across an old issue Of The
star and taking a glance through we dis
covered that l was one of the fortunate
persons to get q theatre ticket, which I
did not call for. owing to the fact that
we had moved from Eighteenth street In
the meantime. thus losing sight OF the
winners Though it is rather late in the
day to hank YOU for the tickets. which
I was unfortunate not to get. l write to
show my appreciation and sincerity in
the matter. and hope that when you have
another affair of the kind that 1 will
stand a chance should I be one OF the
first to send in. With many thanks, l am,
MRS. H. G..
I am sorry you were not benefited by
winning the theatre tickets. I don't
suppose 1t is much better to have won
and lost than never to have won at
all. but never mind. II there Is another

nate.

Artiehokes are not and never viii be
very high in popularity. for they are
expensive. not remarkably succuient
nor very plentiful. Yet one cannot re-
sist buying them ever so often when
they are so ternptingly displayed
among other delicacies on the vegetable
stands and having them they should be
prepared nicely.
The flower head and 1eshy base are
the edible parts; one artichoke is
usually served to a helping; they may
be baked. fried. boiled or made into
salads.
Artichokes, Boiled-Select fresh ones,
cut the hard leaves from the base and
trim away the fbrous bottoms and re-
move all the green spines. Roll in hot
sailed water until the leaves detach;
drain and draw out the choke or heart;
arrange on hot platter between nap
kins and send TO the table with a
tureen of very hot. very rich cream or
vinalgrette sauce.
With Force Meat Filling-Boil the
artichokes and draw the hearts, save
these for salad. Fill the hollow cup

with the mixture, sprinkle with but
tered crumbs, arrange IN a sautoire
and cover with rich stock. Place IN

each artichoke the shape OF a small

Wishes to Change His Name.
Dear Miss Doom:


Can a young man of 1s change his name
without paying for 1t? My name Is
Liebowitz and I would like to change 1t
to Wieser. 1 get the name Wieser from
my aunt. Dear Miss Doom, I do this In
favor of my mother. because my father
has deserted her and l have not seen
or heard from since 1905. Can you tell
me what is the meaning OF Liebowitz? I
remain, yours truly,
A CONSTANT READER.
AS you are a minor you cannot
change your name yourself. Your
mother, appearing as your guardian,
can change 1t for you by %petitioning
the Supreme Court. 1t will cost the
court fees and the lawyers fees. 1 do
not know how much they will be. 1t
can also be changed by having your
aunt legally adopt you.
I do not know the meaning of Liebo-
