told me such wonderful results could
be accomplished so quickly, 1 positive
" would not have believed it. My arms
and hands were covered with freckles;
my neck was dark ana wrinkled from
the use of high collars; my hands were

which 1 am pleased to give to anyone.
It's just as simple as it is effective.
Go to any drug store and get an empty
two-ounce bottle and a one-ounce bot
tie of KuluX Compound. Pour the en-
tire bottle of Kulux into the two-ounce
bottle, add one-quarter ounce of witch
hazel and fill with water. Prepare this
prescription at your own home, then
you know you are getting 1t right.
Apply night and morning.

ful, no matter how rough and ungainly
your hands and arms are. One appl-

closer obserya ton, and then by ''will-
ing yourself to retain the impressions
your mind has received.
When you meet a new face observe
! that face carefully and note its char
acteristic points and store them away

What to Do.
As to memory for names. you can
strengthen that first by assOciating
the name with some impression or idea
which you cam link with it in your
mind. II you Cannot do it any other
way, write down the name of each new
person whom you meet, with the de-
scription of that person, some special
characteristic you have observed. and,
if possible, any ideas about the occu-
patton and interests of your new ac-
Guaintance.
Many a society woman famous for
her wonderful memory for names and
faces keeps such a book, and one Of
our most famous presidential candi-
dates kept a card index of all the peo-

was astounding. and his secretary

n DOR Sensitivei You are one Of
10 many who would like to learn
the complete art of polite and
witty conversation in ten lessons.
There is nothing more discomforting in
| the world than to be an attractive
/ looking young girl and to realize that
/ one becomes tongue-tied the moment
! one is expected to entertain a guest.
A great many girls acquire the gift
! Of CAB at an early age, and thereafter
never stop long enough to give their
unfortunate families time to recover,
so that really, my dear Sensitive, you
are lucky in one way, for nobody will
wish TO run away from you because
of your chattering tongue. OF course
you are suffering agony because you
never know what topic of conversation
TO begin on, and when you look into
the face of a stranger who has just
been introduced your mind at once be-
comes a blank. But really, it might be
worse. Until you find your tongue and
become an easy conversationalist. you
might practice being a good listener.
If the guests you want to entertain are
men you Will find that listening is
more profitable than speech.
Few women are attentive listeners,
and nothing is so flattering and so
courteous as the attitude of the good
listener.
Cultivate the art of listening, and at
the same time make little mental notes
of questions which arise in your mind
and which will keep the one-sided con- /
versation going in case the speaker /,
should subside
The reason most women and almost !
all girls are poor conversationalists is (
that they can't keep their minds on l
the subject in hand.
The average girl talks about one /
thing and thinks about another, and /
the conversation soon lags.
To be entertaining and bright re- /

He had been mangled by a passing
