some ideas about games that we can play
in our club. II. ID. J.
| am sending you some games Why
don't you read some good. interesting
books and make study of them during
your meetings? You could read Robert
Louis Stevenson, or Dickens. George
Eliot, or Jane Austen. You might read
one of Jane Austen's long novels, one
| that is printed in several volumes. and
at the end of the year have an enter
tainment like one of the affairs in the
book, making costumes like those that
the characters in the book wore. This
would make your reading and study
more interesting and alive to you.

STARTING THINGS IN TINE

blame somebody or something We
never have any luck in this blaming con
test. The fault is all ours.
On the day after Christmas we say
firmly, Next year I'm going TO start
in August to plan for Christmas, aud
then take it quietly all through the fall,
so that can really enjoy the day when
it comes" If we get into training by
starting to plan far enough ahead for
everything we do, all through the year,
the habit may become so strong that by
next fall we'll know how to go at
Christmas calmly.

Training as Mothers Helper

To the Editor Of Woman'S Page:
Dear Madam-A young woman wish
ing to train for position as "mother's s
helper" would like to know where she
can take a course that will prepare her
for this work. A. E. X.
Training is not usually necessary for
this kind of position, unless you mean
to be regular nurse. In that case,
you would need hospital training. II
YOU have had experience in taking care
of children, and know something about
housework, that is all the training you
need. | have never heard of any place
where such training is given.

Some Beauty Questions

Tc the Editor Of Womar's Page:
Dear Madam-Will you please tell
me how | can cleanse and close the
open pores of my face? Also how can
the growth of hair be prevented?
A DAILY READER.
You can clean your skin by steam
ing it with hot cloths, and then applying
cold cream. Do this about once a week
until your skin is clean and clear. Every
night use good facial soap, following
the directions carefully, and try the ice
treatment to close and refine the pores.
This consists of rubbing ice over the
face to contract the pores. 1t is natural
for some skins to have small growth
of down or soft hair. There are de e
pilatory powders advertised that claim
to remove this. Too frequent use OF
cold cream sometimes causes it, and
will sometimes encourage the growth il
it is not used moderately. A moderate
use of it should not cause the hair tc
grow.

She Is Very Happy

Dear Cynthia read your article

any very personal problem to solve, but
would like to have this question, which
rises in my mind frequently, answered.
What is the matter with tho girls and
boys that they trust each other so littleT

hood as any one would wish, my friends

not out late at night and unchaperoned.

lows. A few of them were sentimental
at times, but they never went too far.
I had many girl friends and / can
honestly say that l had more good times
than most girls have. | trusted all my
friends and no one ever betrayed my
trust.
At seventeen | became engaged. |
had never kissed any man before my
iiance and ! am glad and proud that |
could give him the best that was in me.
We were separated during the war, az
he was an officer in the United States
navy, but 1 had his ring on my finger
and his love in my heart and year
later we we're married. l don't under
stand how husbands or wives can treat
each other as they admit to you that
they do.
| My husband has never said an un-
kind word to me in the seven months
of our married life. He never wants to
leave me even for an hour. We haven I
much money, not n cent saved up; we
are entirely dependent on his job, but
we love each other and are content in
that and we have lots of good times.
We read and go TO the movies or the
theatre and we take long walks, as we
! live in the suburbs with my mother,
but some day we are going to have q

some one else who feels this way-some
one young like me? I'm just eighteen,

A fine letter, my dear, and ] am 81
glad you are so happy in your married
life. You certainly have the right idea
and ] hope your letter will encourage
others to be content with little, just sc
love, kindness and forbearance exist.
I am afraid the lack of trust between
boys and girls comes from the loose
tongues that wag so fast these days. anC
the loose idea of confidence-too much
telling the other what he said or she
said.
