To Whiten the Hands

Dear Margery Doom.
Would you kindly give me. q renl-
edy to whiten the hands. as mine
are always red. Also something for
chapped hands.
Hoping to hear an early reply. /
remain yours, a READER.
The Following lotion is excellent
for whitening the hands:
Strained honey, one ounce; lemon
juice, one ounce; cologne. one ounce.
Mix and rub well into the hands
at night, then wear q pair Of large
kid gloves, the palms split for ven
tilation.
Only proper care will keep the
hands soft and white in winter II
there is the least sluggishness of
circulation, for unless the blood
flows freely cold temperature either
causes 1t to settle in the fingers
making them exceedingly red, or
prevents 1t from reaching them,
aud SO they become pinched and
dry. ~
Grease in some form is necessary
70 the beauty of a hand. There are
many good cold creams on the mar
ket. Apply plentifully at night. rub

Concerning a Kitten

My Dear Miss Doom:
Your columns in the Evening Star
are always interesting, and l am
going to ask you to help me as you
have helped SO many others.
Ny little kitten. five months old,
does not fatten and grow as 1t ought
to-. 1t has heas, which I've tried III
vain to rid Of; otherwise, It seems
in perfect health, plays continuously
and sleeps & lot, too.
1t is SO prettily marked know it
will develop into handsome fat,
but when? It's diet Is carefully
watched, and it never eats meat.
Can you advise what can be done
for it? Thanking you, | am,
Your kitten will probably begin to
gain weight when it grows a little
more sedate. Constant frisking
about will keep the healthiest kitten
thin. a taste of catnip now and
then will be of benefit. Rut a few
drops of oil of pennyroyal on it's
back. The f1eas will inhale 1t and
decide to depart while there is yet
time"

Dark Neck and a Wedding

Dear Miss Doom.
VIII you kindly tell me what is
best for dark neck and arms. They
are not naturally dark; just turned
from being away last summer.
Also please let me know il 1t is
proper for brides sister, single,
twenty-five years old, to be matron
of honor, and what must q matron
of honor do?
The wedding will take place in q
large ballroom, and the ceremony
will be performed on the stage. Will
I have to walk alongside of the
bride or in front Of the bride? L
mean when we march up on the
stage. We are. also having brides
maids.
Trusting that you will answer
and thanking you. L. A. K.
A good whitening lotion for the
neck Is made OF an ounce of ben
coated oxide. of zinc ointment and
two drains of strong spirits of cam
phor. This Is an excellent astring-
emit and may be worked into the
face. about twice a week, If you are
troubled with large pores.
For the neck treatment, the skin
should. be thoroughly washed every
night with warm water and soap,
letting the water stay on long
enough to open the pores. All soap
must be rinsed out.
While the skin Is still soft the
cream is rubbed in, applying 1t
always with rotary motion, es-
pecially under the chin where the
cords first lose their strength.
The stroke should be a firm one,
continuing all the way around, the
greatest effort being directed about
on the line where the collar ceases.
This massage must take five min
utes and even longer. When it is
over the throat should be patted
with q soft bit of dry linen.
Another piece Of muslin Is then
dipped into cold water and patted,
wet, over the flesh. This serves to
contract the pores opened by wash
Ing and rubbing. Apply the cold
water generously.
The brides chief attendant, IL she
be unmarried, is called the maid Of
honor.
Here is the form of 3 wedding
procession:
The iushers lead, walking two and
two; the bridesmaids, two and two;
the maid of honor, alone, in advance

ing on the arm of her father or
nearest male relative. Arriving at
the spot where the ceremony is to
be performed. the ushers go to the
right and left and the bridesmaids
pass forward, taking their places
one in advance of the other, the
maid of honor standing at the left
of where the bride will be, in readi-
ness to offer any assistance during
the ceremony, such as holding the
brides bouquet and glove and ar
ranging her veil and train grace

place, receives. her from her father

them at home.

quarter cup water, shelled whole nut

Method--Boil sugar and water I'M

comes brittle and the mixture is Just
about to become tinged with color;
set the mixture in bowl of hot
water. Then, with two forks or candy
tongs, dip one nut at time In the
syrup and lay on waxed papers to
cool Work fast, as sugar is apt to
harden; If 1t gets too stiff few drops
of hot water can be added.
Candied Peel.
Method-Scrub the fruit, then re-
move the peel in quarters, scrape out
the white pulp. lay in cold water
and cook until tender. Drain and cut
into strips one-quarter inch wide.
Make a syrup Of one cup of sugar and
one-half cup OF water; when sugar is
dissolved drop in the peel and cook
until clear. Remove with q. fork and
coat with fine granulated sugar. This
can be kept in a paper-l lined tin box.

A paste that will restore red
dened skin to W4liteness is made
from one ounce of powdered myrrh,
four ounces of strained honey, two
ounces of yellow wax and six
ounces of rose water. The wax is
melted in cup set into q pan of
boiling water. While the liquid is
warm the myrrh goes in, the cup
then being removed from the heat.
After a thorough beating the honey
and rose water are used, adding
the latter slowly. If the paste is too
thick to spread easily it should be
tlinned with glyeerine.
This application Is excellent for
the arms and throat, as well as the
hands. Cocoa butter is excellent for
painfully chapped hands.

Dear Margery Doom.
Please tell me If when a man IL
introduced to woman he is sup
posed to stand until she gives him
permission to sit beside her Also,
does an introduction at the home of
a friend constitute an acquaintance?
INTERESTED.
A man is not expected to sit down
without being invited to dos SO. nor
is he privileged TO speak to a woman
unless she first mods to him. This
is quite right, for then no man may
presume upon acquaintance unless. q
woman desires It,
