cause of his attentions to another
woman. He has ruined the repu.

has become SO notorious In his
flirtations that even his best
friends are fighting shy of him.
In his heart he knew that he was
compromising you by taking you
for a drive in his motor. He also
knew you were perfectly innocent
OF wrong intent. But his idea OF
honor did not keep him from try.

of the girls that Bill Tenney had
compromised with his attentions

he thoughtlessly put you. the sis

compromising attentions"
Mollie looked puzzled, and I
continued: "Mollie, the sooner
we women decline to meet any
man of this caliber the sooner
will that much-talled-of double
standard of morals be obliter-
ated."
Don't you think, Margie, that
a man can sin little bit and still
return to being good again.
Mollie asked.

girl he meets, while he has a wife

why DO French Women
Always Look Young?

In France mothers and daughters
look like sisters. How are the
women there able to retain their
youthful looks until long past mid
die age? Is 1t because they are
much given to the use OF merco-
lized wax3 This wax possesses n
remarkable absorbent property
which quickly removes the fine
particles Of cuticle which are con-
stantly dying and which are the i'm
mediate cause of an old-looking
complexion. Thus the livelier,
healthier, younger skin beneath Is
given q chance to breathe and show
Itself. Try this treatment yourself.
Most likely 1T will not require two
weeks to make your complexion as
clear, soft and beautiful as a young
girls. Just one ounce of mercolized
wax (all American druggists have
IT'D usually does the work. The wax
Is put on nights like cold cream
and washed off mornings.
Another valuable secret with
which the French are familiar Is
how to quickly remove wrinkles.
One ounce of powdered saxoiite dis
solved in q half pint witch hazel
makes marvelously effective
astringent lotion. The face should
be bathed I'm this daily until even
the deepest lines are affected.

Pictures Of SCOTS Dash to the
South Pole are indeed Wonderful

Never In the history of motion
picture photography have such
wonderful films been made as
were exhibited in Tacoma last
night. They are the moving-pic-
ture record of Capt. Robert Fall
con SCOTS splendid dash to the
South Pole, taken by Herbert @.
Pointing, official photographer for
the party. The pictures take one
as near to the South Pole as the
heavy motion picture apparatus
could be transported, and are all
the more unusual because OF the
fact that the photographer and
every other member of the party
succumbed to the intense cold
after reaching the pole and start
ing on their return trip.
Charles B. Hanford. the famous
Shakespearean actor, gives q
graphic and interesting explana-
ton of the pictures. The film Is
divided into four long reels. in
jected with camera photographs
of scenes that the motion picture
machines could not grasp. The
remarkable pictures will continue
at the Tacoma theater until Sat
urday night, with matinees daily.

BILE II was for q feminine per-
son to make a deep impress
sion on my heart.
| think the god or devilO
of love must have heard my
boasts and decided to make
an example Of me.
Six years ago l met what
] at first considered an ordi-
nary girl. Cat first you
women all look ordinary.
don't your Later | thought
her a very nice young per-
son; and now. for the last
three years, l have been, and
am. hopelessly in love with
her. About two years ago /
proposed to her, and her an
swer was that she liked me
as a friend, but not we'll
enough to marry me. The
fact that l was too poor to
give her the best sort of a
home prevented me from
pressing the point. l have
seen prettier girls; girls
with more grace, and with
more shapely bodies, but all
other girls seem common
place and insipid in COM
parison to her.
l love her, Miss Grey. and
/ know that I'll always lay
awake in the I'VE sma'

get over it"--that their
hearts won't break. Maybe
it's so In their case, but as
for me my hunger for her is
greater, my heart heavier
now after three years than
it was when l left her.
Is there any scheme or
method that will enable me
to forget her, at least during
the day. Right now she oc-
cupies my thoughts every
J moment of my waking hours
to such an extent that l
can't concentrate my mind
or energies to any sort of
useful work.
l have always treated
women with an old-fashioned
chivalrous respect, have al

you please tell us through

cruel enough TO do the very thing
you are proposing now, and I re-
gret II. Don't ornament your
home with dead things; let them

Dear Miss Grey: We are
two girls fourteen and six
teen years of age. We want
your advice on how to treat
a young man In society. We
treat them nice. but are
rather backward In the con-
versation. What can we do
to overcome this and how to
keep the conversation going?
Please answer this real soon
as we are going to dance
soon.
BENNY AND DENNY.
A.-YOung people make the
mistake of trying to force COM
versation--it can't be done sue
cessfully. The best promoter to
conversation Is to be unselfishly
interested In what interests 9TH
ers. Acquire q reasonable kn0wl-
edge of boys interests and pas
times, good, healthy interest In
good, healthy sports--and above
all, stop trying to make an inn
preston. Forget yourself as far
AS possible, except when a vital
point Is up for decision.
Another mistake young people
make Is I'm feeling that they must
talk contlnuously-that silence Is
awkward. The best friends enjoy
a congenial silence, which neither
endeavor TO break, but emerge
from In u natural way.
Dear Miss Grey: What
will take the glossy or
shiny appearance out Of a
suit of clothes? Thanking
you. UNCLE NUN.
A.-Brush the suit well, but
before doing so mark with a white
thread any spots that may be on
1t. Even IL not discernabIe after
brushing, rub well with gasoline,
or alcohol (not near tire). Then
press with hot iron under q thick,
dampened cloth on well-padded
ironing board. DO not press too
hard with the iron. In fact, the
more lightly 1t IL used, the greater
opportunity il affords for the "ris-
ing" of the map of the goods.
Dear Miss Grey: I wonder
IL you could tell me how
could refinish an old piano.
The surface Is very much
scratched and SCARED and
the polish on one end Is

ing too close to a stove.

1t must be source of gratifica-
