How English Beauties
Keep Faces Youthful

Christian Miller, r. C. l., noted English
health expert, attributes the emily aging
of American women mainly to the ma
tional nervousness The women of Eng
land, she says, can teach us the ines
Unable lesson of repose.
Another valuable lesson to be learned
from the English woman is that she does
not go in much for cosmetics, the con
tinual use of which must ruin any com
plexion. The beauty devotees of King
Georges realm have the mercolized wax
habit, more wholesome method of keep
ing the face girlish- looking and healthy
Ordinary mercolized wax, used like cold
cream, retuvenates the worst complexion
Women here may easily acquire the habit
this wax being ohtainable at drug stores
generally in the United States and Can
ada. 1t Is applied at night and washed
off in the morning. One ounce Is suf-
ficient to completely renovate bad COM
plexion. IL has a peculiar action in keep
ing the face free from the particles OF
dead and devitalized scarf skin which
are constantly appearing.

For Child's Dresses

Letting down hens for fast grow
ing child takes much time.
Did you ever try stitching in tuck
on the wrong side of the hem? If
you are fortunate enough to own a
chain-stitch machine, minutes
work will lengthen the garment the
width of the tuck. says Modern pris-
ella.
Even with a lock-stitch machine 1t
takes far less time than picking out
a hem and turning 1t again.

TRIMMING THE LAST YEARS DRESS

A little accessory. says the Danbury
News that can be bought to add
a smart touch to home made or
old frock is always welcome.
Perhaps that is one reason for the
popularity of the neckwear Of this
season and last
Frilling and rouching of tulle and
net and lace transform many simple
frocks, and the addition of one of the
new organdie collars to staid serge
dress takes it out of the realm of
dowdiness.
So it is with a chic belt that can
be had in the shops
1t is really only half belt, for the
back of the skirt or coat. to reach
from hip TO hip.
It is made in many combinations.

Here Is In School DAYS .
Dear Mles Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
Here is the poem, In School
Days. requested by Jane e. T.,
which I obtained from a friend.
It's an old favorite of mine and
I am very glad to supply 1t.
PATRICK L. FL.
IN SCHOOL DAYS.
(By John Greenleaf whittier).
Still sits the schoolhouse by the
road,
A ragged beggar summing;
Around it still the sumachs grow
And blackberry vines are running.
Within, the masters desk is seen,
Deep-scarred by raps official,
The warping floor, the battered
seats,
The jack knife carved initial.
The charcoal frescoes on it's walls,
It's doors worn sill, betraying
The feet that, creeping slow to
school,
Went storming out to playing.
Long years ago a winters sun
Shone over it at setting,
Lit up its western window-panes
And low caves Icy fretting.
1t touched the tangled golden curls
And brown eyes full of grieving,
OF one who still her steps delayed
When all the school were leaving.
For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favor singled,
His cap pulled low upon face
Where pride and shame were
mingled.
Pushing, with restless feet, the
snow
To right and left, he fingered,
And restiessly her tiny hands
The blue-checked apron fingered.
He saw her lift her eyes: he felt
The soft hands light caressing,
And heard the trembling of her
voice,
As If a fault confessing.
I'm sorry that I spelt the word;
I hate to go above you,
Because (the brown eyes lower
Because, you see, love you!"
Still memory to gray-haired man
That sweet child-face Is showing,
Dear girl the grasses on her grave
Have forty years been growing.
He lives to learn in life's hard
school
How few who pass above him
Lament their triumph and his loss
Like her-because they love him.
Many thanks to you, Patrick L.
H., and to Ruth d. b, Mrs. j. B.
P. and Miss R. S., who also sent
copies.

Black Velvet Sailors

The Dry Goods Economist says that
the majority of the larger shapes
now being shown by Paris milliners
are on the sailor order, with slightly
faring brims and rather large sized
crowns. Another feature of interest
Is the fact that, generally speaking.
they are handmade.
The most popular material for
either the large or the small hat is
black velvet
In colors, very dark blues and
new reddish brown called 'Fakir' ara
mentioned.

One that Is very attractive Is made
of gray suede, cut out to show three
or four pieces of Japanese silk crepe
printed in blue and red
This little belt is fitted with three
or four pockets on the underside so
that 1t can be easily fastened to as
many little balls sewed on the skirt.
Other belts are made of suede and
kid or different colors, some of them
with cutout designs over white kid,
some of them decorated with small
colored glass spikes or nail heads
of brass.
They are especially nice, these
little belts, on the back of a colored
linen or duvetyn or other summer
skirt, and they can also be used to
very good effect on a summer jacket.

Her Eyes Are Sore

Dear Miss Doom:
Enclosed please find Whittier's
beautiful poem, "In School Days"
as requested in your column. Trust
1t is satisfactory.
Miss Doom, can you give me a
remedy for sore eyes? My left eye
Is very sore. The lashes are al
ways full of matter. Your reply
will be very much appreciated.
RUTH D. F.
Bathing the eyes with witch hazel
which has been diluted with water
will be found beneficial when the
eyes are suffering from strain.
Borie acid is also good. A tea
spoonful should be dissolved In a
teacup of warm water and the So
luton used freely.
I would advise you, by all means,

Insects on Her Nasturtiums

Dear Margery Doom:
I have some nasturtiums growing
IN my garden which are beset by
small black insects, which cling I'M
derneath the leaves and about the
stem of the plants. VIII you kindly
let me know how l may get rid OF
them? They seem to injure the
leaves.
Thanking you. ANNA W.
Helebore, If fresh. Is a good in
secticide to use on plants. 1t should
be busted over plants while they are
wet. particularly on the under side
of the leaves.
Whaleoil soapsuds is sometimes
preferred to helebore Tt is applied
with sprayer. Fir-tree oil soap is
also very good

Belts and sashes play even a more
important part this season than last
in the world of dress. For morning
wear there are girdles and belts of
suede and patent leather; for the thin
afternoon frock silk and satin sashes
and girdles are favored. Roman
striped and plain ribbons are used
considerably for these purposes and
also the palmer silks and satins;
often one sees a strap or button of
patent leather on satin girdle, and
and the effect is decidedly chic.
Plain wash dresses for summertime
wear may be frightened up wonder

Preserving Fresh Flowers
Dear Margery Doom:

Dear Margery Doom:
I was told that there was some
thing to put in the water that would
keep cut flowers for two or three
weeks. Can you tell me what this
is? CURIOUS. -
If you wish to preserve flowers for
a couple of weeks all you have to do
is to put a little saltpeter in the
water in which they stand; or If,
instead of saltpeter, you dissolve 25
grains of ammonium chloride in the
water, you can preserve them any
where from a couple of weeks to a
month, I am informed
