other person, is a very dangerous thing
| to try out" on tender, beautiful skin,
which is as frail as a wil-o the wisp,
and as easily destroyed.
When you begin to "do things to
| your hair and skin, the best thing to
| do is to go to an expert-one who
| knows absolutely, and who has studied
the subject-just as a doctor studiss
his profession, or the dressmalSer her
art.
Mrs A. B. Dennerle, whose up to date
/ hair dressing and manicuring parlors
are perfect joy and a delightful rem
devious for the modish and fashionable
women of Birmingham. is an author-
| ity on such subjects and her word Is
always TO be depended upon as to prac-
/, teal sensible suggestions. and her
methods are effective and modern in
every respect.
about the wear and tear of the summer
on the skin and hair, Mrs. Dennerle
said:
THE average woman doesn't realize
that the summer time Is the very
worst of all the seasons of the year on
the complexion and the hair, but more
especially upon the complexion. In the
first place a great many women never
have on hat from the beginning to
the end OF the summer The long auto
mobile drivers they take fill, the hair and
skin with dust which is most injurious,
both to the tissues of the skin and the
scalp. The hair Is affected by it, be-
cause to let the dust stay on the scalp
causes dandruff and scalp irritation, and
|if 1t Is removed as often as II should
be too much shampooing is required,
which is also injurious to the scalp"
1T is the same way with the skin,''
Mrs. Dennerle continued. THE face
is composed of three layers of skin.
People who have studied dermatology
know that the outside layer is tough
and hard; the next layer is tender and
soft, and the third is just like a new
born baby's skin, it Is so fine and ten
der; of such delicate fibre and such
exquisite quality. The seashore where
the glare is more severe than anywhere
else, plays havoc with the skin The
frecl<les can never be removed entirely
without injury to the skin BY that
mean to the terderer tissues. The
outside skin can be removed, and the
freckles in this way come off, but that
is a very dangerous process and be-
sides the imprint of the freckles goes
entirely through the three layers of
the skin tissues
Are freckles worse than sunburn?" I
asked.
Personally" said Mrs. Dennerle, IT do
not object to freckles. You remember the
story of the man who said he loved every
little freckle on the girls nose. Well,

Care of Goldfish

Having noticed several times inquiries
as to the proper management of gold fish
from members of your big family L ven
ture to contribute a few general rules
clipped by me from a paper some years
ago. I have proved them TO be good and
helpful: The rules for the successful
management of an aquarium may be ex-
pressed in a few words: Pure water. pure
air, cool temperature. cleanliness, regular
feeding, a fair proportion of plant life;
no overcrowding on either side. Expert
ence is the best teacher, and in this way
you will soon learn to like your finny pets,
and enjoy drawing your chair up to the
aquarium and watching their peculiar ac-
tions and modes of life. When your plants
grow fast and become too thick in the
aquarium clip them down. Do not throw
them away. Goldfish should be fed reg
ularly Twice week is sufficient 1t is
impossible to advise the quantity for one
fish, but general rule should be never
supply more food than the fish will eat
