Dear Miss Doom:
Three years & I graduated from

sition. / am now 10. Am l eligible to

A Nervous SchOOlbOy
Miss Doom:

MISS DOOns
viii you kindly let me know what is
good for nervousness; also what is 1t
but when l stand up to read l get
nervous and can't do it. When l am
in company and asked to sing l have to
say l can't sing. A READER.
This is an affection which you will
overcome as you grow older. When
you get up to recite in school keep
your mind on what o are saying
and not on the other pupils. Try to
perfect yourself in your work. If you
are positive of your knowledge, you
will have no fear of making a mis-
take, and therefore will not be ner-
o
Try not to think of yourself,
but of what you are doing. Self
consciousness Is the main cause of the
dread of speaking or singing before
that people are thinking not of you,
but of what you are saying, o will
be able to overcome that dread.
Mingle with people as much as pos
sible. Even If you do not desire to
meet strangers force yourself to do
SO. In this way you will gain an
ease that at present you do not think
possible.
Above all things don't worry about
your condition. This will only aggra-
vate it.

THE LENGTH OF THE COAT

away in front, ending in a broad curve
or blunt point in the back.
Some of the coats, however, are
made very long In the back, almost
reaching t. the hem Of the skirt, and
cut away sharply from the waist line
in the front; but these are too extreme
to become popular, and in any case
will only be worn by the exceptional
woman who has many suits to choose
from.
The most favored style Is b~uttoned
over slightly on the left side, and has
the Robespierre collar and revers so
arranged that they can be opened up
when the weather permits. Some are
made with perfectly straight-cut
backs and others have a slight. full
ness in at the belt and a decided
fare on the side seams.
Nearly all have slightly rounded or
pointed and all show the mod
flied cutaway effect. The Robespierre
collar, with vest of some contrasting
material, is very popular, and the
sleeves are mostly of the set-in vari-
ETY., made with a medium large arm
hole so that they can easily be slipped
on or off.
Velvet-bound buttonholes and large
ornamental buttons trim the best
models.

Concerning the Payt0ns and Me
My dear Miss Doom:

My dear Miss Doom.
viii 1t b. asking you too much inside
information If we request you to pub
lish Miss Mabel Estelle's name in pri-
vate life? We mean the popular little
ingenue of the Corse Payton Stock
Company. Also is Mr.. Edward Van
Sloane to return to the orpheum this
season? We miss him SO much, and
reports are so conflicting that I am
sure you will set us straight. Thank
you for whatever you consider proper
answers to our questions. A. g. l..
P. S. Aren't we going to see you again
soon behind the f%ootlights? We enjoyed
the glimpse we did get.
Miss Estelle says she has no objec-
ton to giving her name. She shouldn't
have, for, besides possessing n of
those odd names, in which we all de-
light, she shares it with a handsome
leading man. 1t Is Mrs. SEVERN De-
Deyn. She is a little mite to have
such a high-sounding name, is she
not?
AS far as | can learn at present,
Mr.. Van Sloane is not booked to re-
turn to the Orpheum. He enjoyed a
we'll deserved popularity during his
stay with the company. Don't you
think he has a worthy successor In
Arthur Jarrett?
At present I have no plans for re-
appearing behind the footlights. l
am very glad that you were one of
the friends in the audience during my
short stay at the Shubert and l thank
you for your interest.
The tone of your letter is very
pleasing and I hope I shall hear from
you again sometime.

Concerning the Police Dept.

Dear Miss Doom:
l am a man 80 years old, height 6
feet, weight PIP pounds. Will you
kindly tell me If I can get a place on
the police force? 1 have only a COM
mon grammar school education, but l
have a lair hand writing, as you can
see for yourself. By answering me
you will oblige me very much. Also.
] would like tt know the wages from
the time you go on the force. Very
respectfully yours, c. j. I.
Thirty-five is the age limit for
taking the civil service examinations.
However, I advise you to consult the
secretary at the police department
headquarters, City Hall. He may
be able to give you some valuable
suggestions.
The salary of a policeman the first
year is 5000, the second 81, 900. the
third $1,100 and the fourth $1,000. At
the end of that time the members of
the force are regular patrolmen and
ran go no higher except by passing
special examinations.

To Remove Dye Stains from
Waist

My dear Miss Doom:
l was caught in a rain storm, and at
the time wore a white silk shirtwaist
and a navy blue coat. The blue of the
lining of the coat ran into the white
and the waist became all blue. Kindly
let me know what 1 can do. Have l
a fair handwriting?
A STAR READER.
Use javelle water to remove the
dye stains from your waist. lave
ready two bowls, one containing ia
velle water, the other clear water to
which ammonia has been added in
the proportion of one tablespoonful to
two quarts of water. Put the waist
in the bowl containing the javelle
water, remove it quickly and rinse it
thoroughly in the second bowl, and
then, as an added precaution, rinse
it again in clear water. Unless you
remove the waist quickly from the
first bowl and rinse it thoroughly in
the second you will find that 1t will
be perforated with holes. You write
a very good hand.

xIT BELIEVE people + getting more honest n more genuine"
declared a matron who does her own housework and is proud
of the fact that she accompishes it all 10 neatly and quickly.
Il was brought up to think that Homework was a disgrace" she

hind closed doors and lied about the sudden calling away of her
creatures, or something of the sort. Life a long series of make
series of pinching economies in order to pay the wages of a hired
girl a s W q used to call a maid.
I'm school we girls looked do wn upon any girl whose mother had
washing the dishes.

to help father through a time of stringent finances, and she let u

and refuse t. answer the doorb ell while We did the work. The wash
ing we dried in the attic, 81 mob ody might e n of us hanging out
the clothes. We would have been socially ostracized if it had been
found out
st remember how we bemoa ned the fact that we couldn't find a
suitable girl, and how awfuly languid and ladyike we were when W o
received callers. 1 remember, too, what agonized moments W e
gave to our hands and faces, o that we wouldn't show the coarse
ness Of the work we were doing.
81 think it was that experience which taught me to revolt against
such snobbishness, for I disco vered that I liked homework and
abhorred pretenses. And it wa s nice to be just by ourselves in the
house and say what we liked without putting o n any airs before a
servant We could express III sentiments at the tops of u voices
if We wished, without a moral certainty that III remarks would be

Washing Soda in the Chill

Dear Miss Doom:
Kindly let me know how to remove
a few black spots from the back of

washing soda is poisonous? 1t was

take. 1t was dissolved In water, a
handful to a gallon of water, of
which w cupfuls were put in the
chill sauce. Hoping to see an early
reply, thanking you in advance. l re-
main, MRS. F.
Dip a clean cloth in gasoline ana
gently rub the spots until they dis
appear. When the cloth becomes the
least bit soiled change it for a clean
one. Don't be sparing of the gaso.
line, as the spots should be thorough
ly wet. Caution: Never use gaso-
line in a room where there is a fire.
gas or any other open flame.
Under no condition use the chill
sauce. Washing soda is corrosive,
that it, it will ''eat" the lining of the
stomach. 1 know how you feel at
having your labor in making the
sauce wasted, but a mistake like thai
is one of the things that a housekeep-
er must meet with patience and a
smile. It's hard, though, isn't it?
