Learn to make the most of your
good looks.
BY MARGARET HUBBARD AVER.

DEFORE go on with the making
of our pretty girl I want to an
swer some of the MANY questions
that have poured in from girls between
fourteen and sixteen. regarding their
compilations
always feel deeply sympathetic with
girls of that age, because 1t is very
trying time. One isn't quite a young
lady yet, and one is not 2 child, and
clothes and manners both change along
with the manner in which one does
ones hair. and the way ones complex
| ion looks.
A girl Of fifteen who had taken my
last article very seriously to heart
wants to know what in the world she
will do.
THE giils at school are making fun
of me-" she writes, because my face is
shiny just like mirror. and yet you
say l must not use powder. All the
other girls do, so what shall l do?"
Personally | would much rather see a
shiny little nose than one that was all
chalked up with powder, but, my dear,
if it worries you so much, here are a
few simple ways that you may try to
overcome the greasy look:
In the first place ! want you to re-
member now and for always that the
lotion of treatment which agrees with
one skin won't agree with another. aud
you want to try and experiment until
you have just the right treatment which
agrees with you. showing the best re
suits.
The Reason Why
The reason your face is so greasy is
because the little glands which find
their outlet in the pores of the skin are
not working properly.
! explained to you in my last article
that during this trying period of read
iustment between childhood and young
womanhood the circulation of the blood
is very apt to go on strike somewhere.
and cause YOU all kinds of trouble like
pimples and blackheads. or very oily
skin These troubles will right them
selves in the course of time. especially
if YOU are careful of your health In
the meantime, would suggest for the
girl with the greasy face that she try
one or the other of these treatments. OF
course, I take 1t for granted that you
don't omit your daily bath. and that
Won wash your face carefully and thor
oughly both night and morning The
investment Of a face brush will repay
YOU by clearing the pores of all i'm
purities, and making it much easier for
you to work on your complexion.
The soap you use on your face need
not be an expensive kind. but it must
be pure Many soaps can be used OF
the body or hands but should not touch
the face. If the soap stings if is too
strong for the face. and one of the
simplest tests is to taste it with tht
tongue. If it does not bite" it can b.
used on the face of the most sensitive
skinned girl
Scrub your face with the brush and
soap, taking especial pains to scrub
around the nostrils and chin and over
the temples where blackheads are likely
to appear Rinse the face with several
warm waters and then cold water and
dry carefully and thoroughly If you
use facecloth, take good care TO see
that it is kept clean. After you have
used it wash II out in clear water with
little ammonia and hang it up in the
window to dry
Instead of Powder
Instead of using powder. If your nose
is really very shiny get your mother
to give you about teaspoonfu OF ep-
som sadlts; boil about four ounces OF
water and dissolve the salts in the
water, bottle il and mop a little OF this
liquid over Your nose when YOU want
