How TO Keep Face
Young and Attractive

The way to ward off old age is not to
fear It, not to allow ones self to be
oppressed by the dread of advancing
years. Use only legitimate pre+entives
and avoid trying experiments with prep
arations not Endorsed by physicians. An
entirely safe and very effective way to
keep the complexion young-looking and
beautiful is to apply ordinary mercolized
wax at bedtime, using it like cold cream,
washing it off in the morning. This
gradually 9bsorbs the withered, faded
euticie, which is replaced by the more
youthful, pink-tinted underskin. One
ounce of this wax. to be had at any drug
store, is enough to completely rejuVenate
a WORKOUT complexion.
Crow sfeet and other wrinkles, the
first signs Of advancing age, may be re-
moved by simple. harmless preparation
made by dissolving an ounce Of powdered
saxolfte in half pint witch hazel. IL
il used a. q face bath.

White Marks on a Table

Dear Miss Doom:
Do you know of anything that will
remove white marks from a dining
room table? The marks are from
hot dishes being placed on the ta-
BILE. NEWT YWED.
White marks can be removed
from the top of table and it can
be made to look like new in the fol-
lowing manner:
Slightly dampen a piece of wad-
ding with methylated spirit, over
which place piece of white linen
rag; screw round at back so as to
form a portion to hold with, then
apply With a circular motion where
the marks are. rubbing gently, al
ways in the same direction, until
the marks disappear Then rub we'll
with dry, clean cloth, after which
polish with a good furniture cream.
On no account must the spirit be
put directly on the linen, but on
the wadding, which cover with the
linen before using.

PARASOLS MATCH THE COMPLEXION

Matching the parasol to the COM
plexion is quite as important as
matching it to the costume. More so,
in fact, for 1t will not be remembered
whether it accorded perfectly with
the gown you wore, but it surely will
linger in the memory of friends if
your face appeared a acknowledgement
with gray shadows when you were
last seen, and that is precisely what
some of the vivid colors in sunshades
accomplish for some complications.
For instance, if you have a very
pale and sallow skin, a green parasol
will cast most ghastly light

True to his promise, Davie start

Laddie cavorting all around him.
And the very minute his back was
turned Dorothy jumped up,
clutched her shoes and stocking
(the other stocking was on), and
scampered over the boardwalk to
the street and on home, laughing
to herself to think how surprised
Davie would be when he turned
around and found that she had
gone.

Davie Dear looked up at Dorothy,

"Oh, no; not now! Why that was
a sple- endid jump" hastily cried
Dorothy, with enthusiasm; even
Laddie was afraid to jump until he
saw you CO."
This was true enough. At least,
Laddie had not jumped until after
Davie reached the sand, but think
the really-truly reason was that ne
wanted to be sure that Davie was
going before he went himself. You
see. Laddie didn't know about the
steps, which were just short dis
lance up the walk. Being just a
dog, he couldn't always reason
things out.
Davie preferred to believe, how
ever. that Laddie thought 1t a most
difficult jump.
I'm sure you can't do it," he
Dragged to Dorothy.
Now, Dorothy was very anxious
for Davie to go away, and II you

MANICURING IN
THE NETHERLANDS

In Holland the quaint little mani
curist uses an instrument closely re-
sembling the dentists wheel. After
placing her clients hand on lace
covered velvet cushion, she polishes
the nails with revolving wheels of
various sizes, which take the place of
the emery board used in this country.
Instead of an orange stick she uses
a pointed steel instrument after
greasing the nails. This steel point is
also manipulated by electricity, as is
the polishing. which is done first by
a chamois disk and then by a pow
dered wheel Such a treatment is
worth a form in Holland, or about
forty cents in American coin.-Phila-

Evening Mufflers in Brocade

To protect the gauze of the evening
bodice from coming directly into con-
tact with the evening wraps lining
and, incidentally, to give additional
protection against the cold, there are
muffers-similar to those worn by
men-in brocades, which lend rich
finish to the outdoor night costume.
Brocade undeniably suggests extrava-
gance to the economical woman, but
the sort employed for mufflers is in
crepe and only one yard of 1t IS
necessary. Having doubled the fabric
lengthwise, turn the folded side out
wards and then join the two selvaged
edges as well as the ends under
narrow band of marabou or OF ma
lines ruching. This makes a neat
and becoming finish about the throat
and down the fronts of the figure to
the beltline.

make one? PERPLExED.
Some women find soap irritating
to the skin.
The best thing to do in such a
case is to use q bran bag instead.
When the face is in need of
thorough cleansing, after a trip in
the train, for instance, a cold cream
bath will remove the dirt, and the
bran bath will finish the work in a
satisfactory way.
To make bran bag mix equal
quantities of powdered oatmeal and
bran together and to a pint add one
half cupful Of powdered soap. To
this add about one ounce of pow
dered orris root.
Fill small bags apd use in the
