How tn Treat Blackheads.

In the treatment of blackheads about
the same course may be followed az for
pimples. The steaming and scrubbing
are done precisely the same, although
the face may be scrubbed more vigor-
ously. This is, In fact, absolutely nee
essary, because these little black pit
tings are nothing more than dirt en-
bedded in the pores of the skin.
The terms ''blackhead" and "fesh
worms are really not correct, but are
so descriptive that they have become
commonly accepted and as such uni
versally known. The correct word for
these distractions is comedones.
Many women believe them to be
alive. Such Is not the case. The troll
BILE results from white plugs Of fat
formed by accumulation of sebaceous
~secretions that block up the pores and
prevent the glands from performing
their functions and also collect dust
and dirt, which latter makes them APP

specks between the finger nails in or

often results.
Where cases are extremely obstinate,
after steaming the face it should be
anointed with any good cold cream
and so remain for at least fifteen min
utes before being scrubbed. This will
help very much to soften the particles,
which, after being scrubbed, no doubt
can be removed. Comedones often
need a great deal of treatment before
they yield, as some of the little black
spots seem almost rooted, but per-
sistence will win out, and when finally
the skin clears, %astringent lotions
should be frequently used to contract
the pores.

The Buttermilk Beauty Cure.

The ButtermtIk Beauty Cure.
When Marie Antoinette and her la
dies rolled up the sleeves of their flow
cred muslins and played with churns
and cream bowls in the dairy of the
Petit Trianon the buttermilk craze was
at its height. 1t was almost a fetish
In the hands of the beauties of the
time, for they regarded it's powers as
almost supernatural. Unguents for
the face as well as the potions in
which they INDUCED were probably
responsible for the lovely compilations
which made poets compose odes to the
bloom of their cheeks and painters al
most implOre on their knees that the
disdainful beauties should relent so
far as to have their charms immortal
lied. In baked buttermilk one of the
strongholds of the complexion was
said to lie. In a few days it worked
wonders, while perseverance in its use
would preserve the skin smooth and
soft as a rose leaf.
The sour milk prophet of today errs
in diluting the buttermilk insufficient
ly. In the genuine old recipes of the
past the proportions were a gill of but
termilk to a pint of fresh milk. This
was poured into a Jar with a fitted lid
and placed before the open range dur
ing the whole of a day.
BY night the milk had turned to the
consistency of clothed cream, in which
state it was poured from a height from
one vessel to another until by some
magical means the contents had gone
back once more to the smoothness of
fresh milk. 1t was then sweetened
with can sugar and inclosed finally
in a stone bottle. corked down tightly
and placed before the fire. but not too
near, for five or six hours. At first
baked buttermilk does not always APP
pear particularly pleasing, the mere
fact that 1t is distinctly sour making
it an acquired taste. However, if it
were not acid it was % considered to
have been perfectly made, while If it
e~ffervesced when the bottle was open
ed it formed not only a most refresh
ing drink, particularly when we'll iced,
but was thought to be particularly eff
cacious for improving the complexion.

The weareI selects her prettiest fea-

takes up a spot and after having deli

charming mouth or pretty teeth. But

Most of us have noticed how very
becoming foggy weather is to the
complexion. This has given rise to
the fog veil, gray tulle lined with
palest flesh pink, and it is one of the
successes of the season.
Calling on a friend one day, the
wearer Of one of these replied to the
admiring remark of her friend: "Oh.
it is my fog veil! l am not really
looking a bit nice. Seer And she
raised the veil.
The difference was so great that the
friend was taken aback. She really
did not know what to say, for the diff
ference was indeed great. It was
astounding. But then what beautiful
sincerity and frankness on the part Of
the owner Of the veil! These were
better a thousand times than the most

Addie Benefits
Old Beau
Ladies' Aid Society
Goes on an Errand
OF Mercy
By CLARISSA MAcKIE

The whistle of the excursion steamer
growled a warning blast. There came
the thunder of hoofs down the length
of the wharf. and Jimmy Bowen's
white horses wheeled gracefully and
brought the long bodied stage to &
standstill at the gangplank.
From the stage there descended
twelve women in gala attire. each one
carrying a paper wrapped shoe box
containing lunch.
The Queen City moved away from
the wharf with a churning foam of
propeller blades, steamed out of the
harbor and turned down the sound to-
ward New York.
Mrs. Hen Tucker put her particular
lunch box under her chair. removed her
hat and tied a green chiffon veil over
her faded hair, and thereby gave to
her sallow countenance a CHASTITY hue.
Mrs. Hen Tucker talked necessarily
rapidly, like a house afire," said the
long suffering Henry Tucker, and she
talked with her lips and her eyes and
nose and chin and often with her
hands, all at M and the same time.
She was speaking now to the assem-
bled members of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety of the Second Baptist church,
bound on their annual outing to the
great city, but today's excursion EN-
braced an errand of mercy, and as the
errand was Mrs. fuckers idea they al
lowed her to talk about it as much as
she pleased.
"As l was saying" babbled Mrs,
Tucker after she had tied the green
veil securely and permitted herself sew
eral deep i%nhalations of the salt air
"as I was saying, the idea came to me
like a flash one day when I wai
watching Addie Bennett in church
Says to myself: There's Ad Bennett
the only one of the girls who went tx
school with me who amt married yet
Why amt she married?' | asked my.
self, and | set out TO answer the ques.
tion-and / found the answer"
Mrs. Tucker beamed triumphantly on
her fascinated listeners. Susan Beers
nodded drowsily and shook her fat
shoulders.
~'If you ask why Addie Bennett ain't
ever married | can answer you that
it's because she couldn't find a hus
bandi" giggled Susan sleepily.
Mrs. Her Tucker nodded approval OF
this sentiment. and. taking another
deep breath. she resumed her nara
tive.
81 found Addie Bennett had had d
disappointment in her life, and ! heard
of it through her aunt. Lyddy Smith
Aunt Lyddy spoke free as air about it
being as it wasn't anything that con
cerned her personally. Seems if Ad
die had a beau fifteen years ago--Hi
ram Decker's boy, Rob-and for some
reason or other they got mad at eacf
other and Rob went away to New
York. All of his folks have been dead
for years. so he never comes down tc
Little River no more. but some folks
who have met him say that he's never
married, all on account of Addie.
"When 1 found that out l remem.

In the meantime Mrs. Tucker had
conveyed the news to her companions
that the lost had been found. Mr..
Decker was on this identical motor
bus-wasn't it wonderful? Miracu-
lous?
There wasn't one of those devout
ladies who doubted that the finding of
Rob Decker on the sightseeing auto
mobile was a direct answer to that
moment of silent prayer.
They all babe a friendly farewell to
Robert Decker, and Mrs. Hen Tuck

versation with him. Her eyes twinkled

laughed as she Joined her companions
and boarded a car for the boat land

the Queen City that she gathered them
in a corner and told them of her talk
