You can't gain or retain good looks
until you realize the value of plain,
everyday water. Do you drink
glass Of water every morning. a half
hour before breakfast? No! Well.
that glass of water will keep your
skin clearer than anything else you
can use.
Drink it hot-don't waste your time
by temporizing with lukewarmness.
Have the water steaming and sip 1.
while you are dressing. If you find 1t
hard to take, add a little lemon juice
or pinch of salt to take away the
fairness.
Between that first glass and bed
time you should drink at least a quart
of water. That isn't as much as It
sounds. 1t Is only four or five glass
fuls in all--the one in the morning,
another at bedtime and two or three
in between. Only the first glass need
be hot; the rest can be any tempera-
ture you prefer.
A quart of water day will aid in
keeping your digestion in perfect con-

Davie wanted to know, after they

over Davies head. Then he spoke
to Davie, "'Old top means the

friendly way of saying that you're

NOT AN EXPERT.

The masterful manner in which
some people evade an issue was mem
toned at recent dinner, when this
one was recalled by Rer- Admiral
Philip Andrews:
In New Orleans one night" the
admiral said, there was man on
the stage who offered to answer, by
mental arithmetic, any question that
might be asked by the audience"
Just as long as the questioner re-
manned in the expected channel the
sailing was easy, but finally one man
got beyond the bearings.
"'If you please, sir said the man,
rising from his seat, how far off can
you hear thunder
at can't tell you sir was the
prompt response of the wonder on the
stage.
"'You can't tell me?' responded the
man. why. I thought

Couched Shadow Work

The couched shadow work is among
the new things in embroidery. 1t Is
very simply done, but is not quick
work. In this new adaptation of
COUGHING the background Is embroid-
cred and the pattern left in the mate
rial with just enough embroidery
stitches to give it form. A COUGHING
cord is used for the work. This cord
is really Just a padding. 1t is basted
in rows across the entire surface by a
short stitch on top and long one I'M
derneath.
After the cord is basted The boelt-
ground is worked with twisted cot
ton of any desired color. The rows
of cord arc then covered with satin
stitch, the stitches taken at right an
giles to the cord. While the stitches
are not packed tightly together, yet
they completely cover the cord.
The stitches of one row are inter
locked with those Of the next, so that
there will be no break between the
rows of cord After the background
Is embroidered the design Is outlined
and the COUGHING cord, which shows,
is held in place by COUGHING stitch.

Valuable Discovery in

Because Of its peculiar power of abb

wax is perhaps the most valuable com

years. II one uses this she needs no
toilet cream. Some use powder after

rule for applying mercolized wax has
been found very satisfactory: Wash the
face with warm water, drying lightly.
Before thoroughly dry, anoint the face
and neck with the wax, but don't rub
y in. The favorite way is to use before
retiring, allowing it to remain on all
night and washing 1t off in the morning

Children Prefer to Be Dirty

In the October Woman's Home
Companion Mary Heaton Worse. writ
ing a story entitled THE Distressing
Doubt" tells how Tom and Alice
Marcy have an adventure in child
hood In which they find the good child
insufferable and the bad child ador-
able. On little children's preference
for dirt Mrs. Worse comments as fol-
lows:
EARLY childhood knows no good or
bad, nor does it know clean or dirty.
Or If 1t knows, 1t infinitely prefers
dirty. Sweet pink and white child
hood loves squashing rose bugs,
cleaning fish and padding in mud: 1t
delights in all things squashy and

had laugh him good lesson; but the
shrewd lad came back with:

I ought to hold the handle for 50 a

Children Should Be Taught
to Fear Death by Automobiles

Child training, especially when 1t
runs counter to the impulse of free
dom, is a difficult work. But one of
the first things the child learns is
fear of death. One mother makes a
careful practice Of reading to her two
small children every newspaper ac-
count of the death of child under
an automobile. She leaves out any
horrible details of the accident. which
might injure the child's sensibilities,
but she impresses the event on the
child's mind by giving the name of
the unfortunate victim, its age and as
nearly as possible the location of the
accident.
Both mother and school teacher
may impress on the child mind the
dangers of the streets and cite daily
examples of the results of child care
lessness. 1t is one of the best means
by which the youngsters may be con-
convinced of the need for exercising
caution.
