qualms of conscience in promising anything and fulfilling nothing mis- trust of him steps in and swiftly el- bows peace and love out of the way. Even when he does tell her the truth zele is not sure whether she should be- lieye him or not. Her heart is III continuous ferment. If he says a very stylish woman looks like a dowdy, de- cIariRg that his wife looks a, thousand times han1soner in her last years clothes, she fears to put confidence in his remark, surn1ising that his real native is getting out of buying her a winter suit.
 There are men who cannot break themselves of saying one thing and meaning another. If he came out in the first place and told the bald truth, a woman would respect him more. There could be happiness with the most of women if the men they loved but took them the right way All wives want to feel that they can trust the men to whom they have devoted their lives. The habit of evading the truth clings to a man? If she asks him to come home to dinner at six prompt, explaining that she is to have company, to dodge discussion he re- spends 'eI'll be here on the minute. You won't have to keep the guests waiting for me. I'll bring home a bunch of roses for the table, and some candy
 The wife who cannot trust him smiles weariIy and signs murmuring wistful1y, of all he said were true. He will forget by the time he turns the first corner. I know better, by sad experience than to walt for him to put in an appearance.'' She is i usually right. The guests have come and gone without seeing him. One excuse is the same as another to her. Even his children soon discover that father is not to be depended on. What would such a man do if his wife's word could not be depended on, or if his children be-fooled him upon each and every occasion? There is only one way to make for happiness and that is to be loved and trusted in the bosom of ones own family
 This rests with. the man, as well as the woman. If one sows discord there it will reap an abundant harvest. Every man should tell the truth, the whole, truth and nothing but the truth to the woman he intends to marry. There should always be love and faith in every home. Without these affec- ton will soon tarnish.

BEAUTY CHATS
BLACKHEADs.

s-ns ever recurrent subject of blackheads has come up again. l wonder why it is that in winter the blackhead question bothers us so And yet. do not wonder, Tor, on s9G- cad thought, in winter we generally overeat and indulge in heavy, greasy foods Candy and fried things are common things in winter and we oo not exercise as we do in summer.
 So perhaps it is no Pwonder that this month brings many 1nqu1raes as to 'sblackheads and pimples-
 In the first place, Milady, IT you are a sufferer, you must make up your mind to a siege of eradlcatlon.- It is no simple matter to rid your system of the impurities that have caused them and your skin or theH marks
 In the first place exercise, exercise exercise! Exercise until you persp1re freely, then wrap yourself up ana per spire some more. Use tep1d water and a mild soap on the face at night and rub we'll with a coarse cloth. use cold water after the warm and batne in cold water in the morning
 The simple cold cream and not water treatment is splendid for doing away with the black heads you now have Simply massage your 1ace WlLn a good cleansing cream, wipe IL oH, use warm water. Do this several times, and repeat each night until your skin shows some improvement
 After about five nights of this treat n1eut. steam the face for about i've minutes, and then press out the black heads with an extractor, which can be purchased for a small price Dip It in antiseptic before using. always. Or if vou have no extractors instead of using your fingers and running the risk of cutting the skin with your nails, take two smooth wire hair pins, burn them to take the paint off, and then wash well in antisepttc and use to squeeze the blackheads gently out GENTLY. I said, and mean it. And be careful not to force a blackhead or pirnpIe out If 1t does not come at once, let it alone for 1t is not ready.
 Continue this until the blackheads are all gone.

''Trust not a man; they are by nature
 Dissembling, subtle, cruel and in
 constant,
 When a man talks of love. with eau
 tion trust him,
 But if he swears,s he'll certainly de-

 The extravagant promises of a, lover raise his sweetheart's hopes to the highest pinacle of happiness. If he carries them out faithfully all is well. If not, her hopes have such a long way, to fall that they are shattered beyond all possibility of putting them together so securely that they will hold confidence again.
 The lover who hates a fuss and would sail a calm sea in his courting days, is ready to promise anything which. his sweetheart desires. He avoids all controversies. He doesn' t r.aind if the truth is stretched a little so long as eontentnnent reigns- If she plans with him to have an extended wedding trip he declares that nothing would suit him better, it will be just as she says. He knows full we'll while making this promise that his bridal trip will be of but a weeks duration. Even if he were to make up his mind to go longer his firm could not spare him over week, and his pocket-book would have much to say forbidding it, as well.
 He tells her glowing tales of the wealth which is to come to him through an aged uncle whose only heir he is. When this wealth is his, he declares, she shall have her own home and servants. He hints at an automobile, knowing full well that the aforesaid uncle was of such a taciturn .disp position that he stood ten chances of losing the fortune to one of getting it. He tells her that he believes it is the duty of a son-frr%law to bring his wife's family home and to do for them. He says that the husband should give the wife the tpocketbook.
