Among my acquaintances there is n
woman who Invariably limits her
speech to monosyllables. Sha is an ex-
cellent listener and seems to orin:l in
every word she hears. Her friends
wonder what she does with The large
store of information which she must
accumulate through listening to
others, for she Will associate only with
the most intellectual and refined peo-
pie
1t was my good fortune to become
sufficiently we'll acquainted with this
woman to receive several letters from
her. and each one revealed hor in q
new light. All of her thoughts (and
they were many seemed to have been
stored away for expression only
through her pen. In her letters she
revealed the innermogt workings OF. a
wonderful mind which has q peculiar
way of grasping the real meat of every
subject. i learned through these let
tiers that her thoughts were not Only
analytical and logical but also most
beautiful-and she exhibited a remark
able ability to record them with pen
and ink.
After reading these letters 1t seemed
to me great misfortune that practi-
cally all of this woman's friends were
denied the privilege of hearing her ex-
press such beautiful and illuminating
thoughts Before almost everybody
she appeared stricken dumb when
there was an opportunity for her to
talk. Yet she could express herself
most eloquently through her letters.
1 suppose there arc great many
other women just like this woman OF
my acquaintance. Some OF them are
ablo to write interesting letters, but
are unable to talk. others can talk,
"a
Ing.
The difficulties under which this
woman labored are of the same char
actor aa those which most people en-
counter. In some way 1t was sug-
sested TIC her early In life that she
could write beautiful and interesting
that. while sh sS co a,IG w sHfeesi in1
terestingly. She could not talk In the
same strain. This suggestion grew
into an idea and finally became con-
viction.
This woman has buried great many
beautiful thoughts which should have
been expressed for the benefit OF her
friends. Tho basic cause of the sup
preston Is her fear that she cannot
talk interestingly.

II. r.: The first thing in the morn
ing and the last thing at night the
teeth should be thoroughly cleansed.
Use small toothbrush. not too stiff;
tepid water and q good tooth powder
or paste. Then rinse the mouth out
with good mouth wash. Listerine
Is good for this purpose. After each
meal the teeth should be cleansed with
teeth with peroxide. This will bleach
them. If tartar has formed on your
teeth have IT removed by your dentist
Irene: In walking. the correct pos
ture Is much the same as in standing
chest high. chin and abdomen In
The legs should swing from the hips
not bend mainly from the knees, and
the TRUNK should sway little In con-
trary action to the legs. The arms
should not be held stiffly. but care must
be taken that they do not swing. The
weight, In standing. should rest on the
ball ofNthe foot, not on the heel; and
in walking the step should be
taken from tho ball Of the foot, giving
that springiness which adds so much
to grace.

with gray hair is to admire 1t. Nature
cunningly contrives to give all of us
complexions to match our hair, and If
our hair changes in color our COM
plexions change too. Dyed hair is
never beautiful, and 1t never matches
the complexion. The only thing to do
with the color Of your hair is to let
nature take her own course. If you
don't like the color you must over
come 1t with good grooming, not with
dye, for beautifully kept hair is al
ways charming, irrespective of Its
color.
NJ. B.: lam sorry. but / cannot give
you remedy for rheumatism. This

n physician I cannot give remedies for
internal disorders / would advise YOU
to consult your physician in regard
to 1t.
Hazel: Pimples are one of the ma
jor troubles OF womankind. They
come from disordered blood, due to
wrong diet, insufficient air. ETC., and
TO clogged pores. The blood must
first be purified. and the skin must be
cIeansed and kept clean. Get as much
exercise in the open air as possible.
Eliminate all sweets and greasy foods
from your diet, and eat plenty OF
fruit and vegetables. Cleanse the face
thoroughly each night before retiring,
using warm water. a good soap and
good cold cream. If you care for my
salve for piinples and formula for colo
cream, send me n stamped, addressed
envelope, and shall gladly send them
