third, sheerness and transparency.

Try Skin Absorption
Instead of Cosmetics

The constant use OF rouge and powder
invites coarsened, roughened con-
dition of the skin, eruptions. enlarged
pores and wrinkles. II you've learned
this from experience. suppose you quit
cosmetics and try the following:
Ask your druggist for an ounce of
ordinary mercolized wax and begin
using this tonight. Apply like cold
cream, washing 1t off in the morning.
Keep this up for a week or two. The
wax will literally absorb the coarse,
colorless or blemished top skin. but so
gradually as not to discommode you at
ali. Just as gradually the clear, vel
vety, naturally-tinted underskin comes
to the surface. And mercoiiZed wax

~ NE food substance which
should not be overlooked by
the housewife at the ap-
proach of the summer sea-
son, is gelatine, which offers more
possibilities in summer eating than
any other one substance.
There used to be prejudice
against gelatine long ago, as some
thing extracted from animal tissue
after an unpleasant process. That
feeling has disappeared, fortunately,
and the modern housewife knows
that gelatine is a splendid food nutri-
ment, and made as generally offered
in reliable brands, is entirely tb-
jectionable.
Some who are not successful with
gelatine dishes should remember a
few simple points: First, purchase
only granulated gelatine, not the
sheet form; second. always soak IN
cold water first; then, third. this

there is one thing about her which I
do not like. She is what | call a

boy now for some time, and, while
there Is no engagement, she acts as
ifthere was. She even kisses him in
public. Because / do not like her to
act like this when she is with me
she thinks 1 am old-fashioned. Do
you think I am?
OLD-FASHIONED.

W. ioned; there's no crime in
" that, is there? The next time
your friend tells you that
you are old-fashioned because you don't
like to see her make a fool OF herself,
just tell her that there's nothing new
in folly, or in disgrace, Or in
sorrow, and just as sure as she goes on
as she is doing now she is going to
meet both sorrow and disgrace some
where not So very far down the road.
Can't you girls ever get 1t into your
heads that boys are the most inconsis-
tent creatures in the world. except
men?
A boy will do everything he can think
of to make a girl give him a kiss, and
