the same way the little girls
of 7 and do? Please an
swer as soon as possible as
we are waiting.
A BUNCH OF BIG GIRLS.
Al do not object to a pretty,
plain band on the hair, but when
a girl covers half her head with
q be-spangled head decoration IL is
absurd. The hair well kept has
no rival.
There Is no reason why girls
from 10 years up should wear
their hair like little girls; neither
should they ape grown women. II
girls would use a little ingenuity
they could each invent q becom-
ing individual way Of dressing the

on the matter. When the time

How She Discarded
Unsightly Complexion


How often I exclaimed as I be-
held my ugly complexion In the
mirror, III l only could tear off
this old skin! And. do you know.
I've learned how to do that very
thing? Not to actually remove the
entire skin all of sudden; that
would be too heroic IA method and
painful too, ! imagine. The worn
out cuticle comes off in such tiny
PARTICLES, and so gradually--re-
quiring about ten days to complete
the transformation--it doesn't hurt
a bit. Day by day the beautiful
complexion underneath comes forth.
Marvellous! No matter how muddy,
rough. blotchy or aged your COM
piexion, you can surely discard II
by this simple process. Just get an
ounce of ordinary mercolized wax
at your druggists, apply nightly
like cold cream, washing IL of
mornings.
My wrinkles 7 got rid of by an
equally simple method. BY dissolv-
ing an ounce OF powdered saxolite
In a half-pint witch hazel and bath
ing my face In the solution, every
line completely disappeared First
the finer lines, finally even the deep
crows feet, vanished entirely.

1t is not the size, the shape nor
the coloring that makes an eye
beautiful. OF course, all these
play their parts in the makeup
of beautiful eyes. But it is ex-
preston which one must cultivate
If one wishes the windows of her
SOUL to be of such transparency
that one can see each fleeing
thought, each sympathetic emo
ton.
Miss Irene Estelle Hough, who
has been acclaimed the most
beautiful telephone girl in Amer
lea, has eyes of peculiar grayish
green. There is nothing particu-
larly remarkable about their
color, but they are most express
i've. They are the wide-open in
noeent eyes of q child.

that her life has been less full OF
experience than Mrs. Selwin's, but
] have a feeling that she would
meet almost anything with the
same calm and resignation that
she has met everything else that
has come to her.
Aunt Mary has given into the
terrible exactions of Time more
gracefully than has Mrs. Selwin
She Is frankly older looking and
more comfortable.
Mrs. Selwin is still a very beau
tiful woman.
AS | write that sentence, little
sock, | cannot help thinking what
a tragedy is set down in that
sentence and Mrs. Selwin gave ME
an illustration of it the other
day.
l could see that while she
rather admired Aunt Mary for her
knack of rrowing old gracefully
yet she could not quite own to
herself as yet that she must wage
a losing battle with age.
We were speaking of Mollie
and Mrs. Selwin said: Poor
child! l never see lovely girl,
one who has more than the mere
beauty that youth gives to most
all faces, that l am not, in my
heart, very sorry for her.
Beauty brings a young woman
much and she grows unconscious
ly to expect much of life. If she
is a clever woman she Is very apt
to attribute to her brain the fav-
ors that are given as tribute to
her beauty and a feeling of sur
prise as we'll as pain is hers when
she finds that she has to ask
sometimes what was once given
her unsolicited.
II do not believe that any
woman who has been lowered
with more than the average of
good looks has ever lived to see
these beauties fade one after an
other without realizing that one
of the most tragic things on earth
10 a beautiful woman, who is
growing old, who has come to the
time when If stranger says
What a handsome. woman an
other friend whispers You should
have seen her ten or twenty years
ago as the case may be.
1T is torture to look in your
mirror and see year after year a
little of the roundness and firm
ness of your face and form dis
appearing, to note that your eyes
look tired, that your teeth are
losing their youthful Wilderness.
that-oh! what is the use-one
man has said most truthfully:
Youth, youth, there is absolutely
nothing in the world but youth. ="
'And because a man instead of
a woman has said that" spoke up
Aunt Mary quietly, don't you
think that men too dread the
creeping encroachments of age?
1t is not woman's tragedy alone,
but the tragedy of all humanity"
perhaps men also feel this"
answered Mrs. Selwin, "but as in
everything else in life men do not
lose so much.
at is the woman who must pay
the most for everything, even for
the fleeting joy of her beauty"
looked carefully at the two
women sitting before me. One
who had clasped the hand of time
and so turned into a cordial
greeting that which to the other
was a blow and wondered which
one | would rather be like.
They were both inspirations
and seeing them together l inn
plored the fates: Keep me from
growing narrow; from jealousy
and distrust and let me still keep
my enthusiasms, my ability to
sympathize and my faith in hui
mainly, then whatever Time may
do to the physical part of me my
mind and heart will still be
young"

Dear Cynthia Grey: l
would like to express my
opinion to Perplexed, which
is as follows:
would suggest to you
that you get acquainted with
the other part Of the man
, you intend to marry, Per
picked" Do not be salts
fled with what you see stalk
ing around on two legs. His
mode OF thinking will make
or break your happiness.
therefore get acquainted with
his thinker.
The soul or character of
one person becomes visible
to another by his thoughts,
utterances and actions. A
man SO narrow-minded that
he will turn you away for a
cause of which the fault is
not your own and has posi-
lively no effect on you men,
tally or physically can hard
ly be the man you think you
are marrying. You must
get rid of all doubts or your
happiness will be blunted to
the extent of these doubts;
in other words, you will be
living in fear.
You need not tell your
fiancee of your birth, but by
using a little cleverness you
can bring up the subject in a
casual way and find out
where he stands, not only on
this subject but all other
subjects that may affect
:-your future happiness, II he
SIS not interested and refuses
SO discuss subjects of this
nature, then beware, for he
is a self-centered man and
thinks only of matters which
. are of importance to his own
happiness and welfare.
r. If you are a person OF or
I binary intellect, which by
= your letter to Cynthia Grey
b1 have reasons to believe
you are, should you find
your fianeee very narrow
ilminded, to you, his looks
will change Immediately and
you will wonder how you
could ever have thought
--ffim even fair looking.
