| Name for Club

11ai a. 1oOh
As we have just organized a club,
names for it. We are boys ranging
from 9 to 10 years. Thanking you in
advance, | remain,
Your friend. H.
I wish you had told me the object
of your club. 1t is always well to
have the name indicate In some way
the purpose for which the club exists.
Why not make it an athletic club
and call 1t 1.-THE Young Scouts 1.-THE
Good Scouts or some such name, and
then when you members are IL years
old or over form a troop of the Boy
Scouts? You could arrange for long
tramps or ball games on Saturdays,
and would really have a jolly time,
besides reaping a great deal Of bene-
fit from having enjoyable exercise IN
the open. Instead of having a presi-
dent, have a captain, a lieutenant, a
sergeant, etc. I think your club would
soon become quite popular and sew
eral of your school friends would be
applying for membership.
Maybe after a while you will all be
rich enough to purchase some sort of
a uniform. That will make you feel
grown-up, and you will all work hard
for the glory of your club.
Now. Herman, If this suggestion
doesn't meet with your approval, sup
pose you write to me again and let
me know the object of your club and
We'll see If together we cannot think
Of some suitable name.

his keeping company idea. Either
you are engaged or you are absolutely
free to entertain other young men
and be entertained by them. If your
friend really cares for you he Will
want the matter settled at once
rather than run the chance of losing
you. If his intentions are not serious
and you allow him to monopolize
your time you will be without the
acquaintances 1t Is natural for young
girls to have, IL he at any time finds
more pleasure in another girls com
pany than he does in yours. Remem-
Der how easy 1t is for a man to make
new friends and how restricted a girl
is in his respect.
The best way for you to rid him OF
the idea that has grown up that he
has a claim upon your time is TO
entertain other friends In place
of letting him call four times a
week. If you really think the world
of him" 1 sincerely hope that his
change of manner is due to indis-
position andsn not to a lack of interest.
II you find he has become tired OF
your company don't try to keep him
except, of course, by making yourself
more attractive. A man held against
his will or by a sense Of honor ism
a very comfortable companion.
Don't worry about 1t, for when one
is young such things are really not
SO tragic as they appear at the time
of their occurrence.

mo, Miss Ignorance. Kitchen cosmetics are beauty lotions that

ess of preparing cucumber lotion. It's good for all Ills that fesh-or

masher until the mass is a watery pulp. Now filter through a piece

In a short time this treatment will bleach gu the tanned face"
Where did you learn all these things?"
"I found a good many of them in an ancient book that I came
across. In old times every house had its still room,' where the mis-
tress prepared with her own fair hands all her toilet lotions and
creams, and they we're made of such things as she could easily get.
My W grandmother when she raj young used to make a beauti-
full pinktinted powder from beds and carrots and a little corn
starch.

scraped them into a bowl She then put this pulp in a bag and
squeezed out all the juice and added to the remainder ne and one
half ounces of cornstarch and put it N the sun to dry"

The Evils of the keeping
Company Idea
MY dear miss Doon:

Ny dear Miss Doom:
I rave been keeping steady company
for nine months. Now my friend says
he cares for me and no one else.
Recently he has not been feeling
we'll and when l speak to him he
answers me as If he is getting tired of
my company. / expect a ring from
hin soon. If he continues to act this
way what shall / do? I myself think
the world of him, because at times he
is so kind and affectionate. l see him
four times a week. Trusting you will
oblige me with the above informa-
ton i remain. III. nj.
The sooner young girls lose the
excepting company habit the better
1t will be for all concerned, Never let
a man monopolize you until he has
expressed a desire to do so for life
and you have agreed to the PROPOSE
ton. Until that time have as many
friends as you wish, and If you SHOULD
by chance prefer one in particular
don't under any circumstances let
him know it, and above all things
claim upon you.
You nave evidently let this friend
of yours think that you are there
waiting for him any time he desires
to ask the important question, and
that he has no cause to wonder what
the answer will be. In that you have
made a great mistake, but one whicn
I have learned is common to many
young girls. Has the young mar
asked you to marry him? If he has
not you should not insist upon his
attentions any more than you DO
upon those of your other friends.
Treat him in a friendly way and de-
mand that he treat o with courtesy
but further than that expect nothing.
1t may be that your friend is not
feeling up to his normal health. We
are all apt to have days when we
want to be left alone, and the an
swering of a civil question is a labor.
Under these circumstances we must
not be exacting.
Again let me warn you to give up

Fears She Is Growing Too
Stout

My dear Miss Doom:
1 am a young girl II years old and
am gaining flesh too rapidly. Although
am o considered stout, l would
rather not gain any more, especially
in my face. Can you help me? l
weigh 40 pounds, and am five feet
five inches tall. Would a diet help?
If SO, what should my diet be? Also,
what can I do to keep my hair light?
It is blond and is gradually becom-
ing dark. Thanking you, BETTY.
/ don't see any reason for your
worrying about your weight. You
are not too stout for your height; in
fact, I think If you var in the other
direction you will be too thin. How
ever, 1T is a good plan for a girl your
age to turn flesh into muscle as soon
as she gains 1t. Do you realize what
a great benefit walking is. not only
for preventing the accumulation of
superfiuous flesh, but for toning up
the whole system and bringing color
tc the cheeks? If you go to business
you can take your walk in the morn
ing. Leave the house an hour earlier
and walk all or part of the way to
the office. Walk briskly and breathe
deeply through the nose. not the
mouth.
If l we're you / would not diet ex-
cept, perhaps, to the extent of avoid
ing rich gravies, pastries and too
many sweets. The juice of half a
lemon squeezed into a cup of hot
water and taken about an hour be-
fore breakfast is n of the treat
ments for obesity, but If there are any
Indications that the lemon has a ten
dency to thin your blood stop its use
immediately. Do not give up the hot
water. as it is very beneficial. Avoid
the use of tea and coffee and drink
