b. H.; Blue Eyes; Grateful Friend:
J. D Blonde. etc.-I have SO many
inquiries about blackheads that
must group them all and answer them
in this way.
The skin can never be rid COM
pletely of blackheads until the dises-
tive system is in good order, or while
, any trace of constipation exists.
NThese conditions take a little time to
treat.
Meanwhile the very largest black
heads can be squeezed out if the skin
is steamed by holding hot wet towels
over it for few minutes. The place
where the blackhead shows is pressed
gently. to force out this collected
matter. Then the place must be
| washed with warm water to which a
little peroxide of hydrogen has been
added-to make it antiseptic.
| Then the face must be rinsed with
| cold water and rubbed with ice. This
! is to close the enlarged pores which
| otherwise might fill again with
matter.

NEW MUFFLERs AND GAUNTLETS
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

Once upon a time on hot, hot day.
mannequin exhibited a frock that
had curious looking things on the
sleeves. The observers were startled.
then they examined these thing3
closely, found out that they were ex
aggerated editions of the peasant
wristlets. Finally they were amused
by the mannequin taking them of and
throwing them on chair.
1t is an excellent way to keep
warm The peasants Of Europe and
the farmers Of America knew we'll
what they were doing when they
wore knitted strips of wool that were
drawn over the lower part Of the arm
to keep the pulse VAIN.
This ancient knowledge was re-
vived when the war held men in the
trenches. Muff1ers and wristlets wers
woven for them, and they found in
them the same comfort that men had
found since cold weather began.
Possibly the fashion of the trenches
percolated down to the dressmakers
this season and. in happy moment,
they thought OF copying the woolen
wristlets by long gauntlets of fur
gloves Of D'Artagnan.
These gauntlets covered the top OF
the hand, but they had no fingers.
They were made of astrakhan and OF
dyed slynx. that wooley austrian fur
ago. The Partisan furriers took it
into their heads .last summer to dip
this sheepswool into colors that
would have made the sheep ashamed
of itself il it had grown them. Bright
green was one chosen color and pur-
cessories as apple green gauntlets.
all fuzzy-wuzzy. placed on a sober
colored gown was piquant, to say
| the least.
OF course the French liked it and
laughed at it. then accepted the fash
! time to tell.
At the present hour the gauntlets
are of beaver. Of Persian lamb, Of
astrakhan. On some frocks they run
like the top g. cavaliers boot. The
lining is of brilliant silk. something
! like cora! or capucine or topaz yell
! low. If one wants to be demure,
then gray. deep purple or petunfa
! can be substituted for the brighter
| colors.
The world likes to show its Innings

| and there is no use putting them in
hiding.

wide collar of fur. tiaring above the
chin In the same fashion that the
gauntlets flare above the elbow.
Soft pony skin is sometimes used
on frocks of this kind. but one can
not be generous with it because it
has weight. Dyed sazellc is another
one of the furs which the fashion
able dressmakers use for coat frocks.
and both present a more tailored ap-
pearance than beaver or mole skin.
1t is not necessary TO have fur on
the gown in order to wear these fur
gauntlets They are purely accesso-
ries and can be made to match the
muff. Otherwise they can be worn
merely as a protection to the arm
when the weather has some snap in it,
The fashion Is strong for sleeves
which can be detached from the frock,
so it does not shock the public to
see long gauntlet of peltry pulled
off the arm when one enters the
house.

Is Your House Big Enough =?

A four-room cottage or apartment
may really be large enough-yet
there are some twepty-room houses
that do not really give the occupants
thereof enough room.
What are the tests of sufficient
room in L house
Perhaps most important-ars there
enough places to keep things?
Sometimes this problem can be
solved by having fewer things--the
important thing is to have a special
place for everything. So you see the
tiny house with Il good supply of cup
boards and closets is much better
than the big house with a poor supply
of cupboards and closets.
Now it is very possible TO rearrange
a house at comparatively small cost
SO that it will have place enough
for everything.
To begin with. sou can have a cold
closet partitioned off in your cellar at
rough board door with the simplest
SOFT of hinges and latch. You can
add Il couple of coats of. paint if you
wish to, and 4 paddock. This closet
should be fitted with shelves and
plenty of floor space for barrels and
boxes. In the summer. when it is
not usei for storing barrels Of pota
toes and apples you can nut ii il th-
boxes ;lt moth-prCof bags ,,'a' aiming
winter .othes aud beddiu;: p"pyided.
Of course. that it iS dry ans, ci.-an.
Often YOU can hav. :.H tHi.ii close
or two built iu your bedrooms or
halls, but of cou"s" this means extra
expense. You rau also buy ward
robes, sometimes at an auction sale.
and though these may not be very
good looking. YOU can paint and en-
amel them and make them quite pre-
sentable. Built in or movable will
dow seats are another aid. and then
there are many ways of making your
closets more convenient. Shoe bags
, tackled on the inside of the doors
! hooks in the underside Of Shelves
bags hung from these hooks to hold
hats and stockings, bars from which

The Yeast Treatment.

A little while ago doctors began
recommending. yeast as cure for
various ailments. Strangely enough
1t did not occur to any of them to
recommend it as beauty treatment.
Yet if a clear skin. clear eyes and a
healthy appearance count as beauty.
yeast is one Of the most valuable
beauty treatments we have.
] knows of nothing that Is better in
treating blackheads. pimples, sallow-
ness, red blotches on the skin, or that
ugly type of complexion known as
mottlcd. incidentally, the yeast treat
mcnt Is one of the least expensive.
Most skin complaints come from
digestive or bowel disorders Yeast Is
laxative, and it is also a blood puri-
fer. 1t will not make you either fat
or thin, but it will suprlv the system
with one food element which We have
not yet been able to analyze. Yeast
is rich in those mysterious little
things known as vitamineS. Without
tenn in our food we die, and with a
sufficient number of them we viii be
strong and healthy.
Yeast can be taken internally or ex-
ternaly. If the skin is i'll very bad
condition and full of little eruptions
three cakes should be taken every
, day. preferably about mealtime.

To Keep Fruit Cake.

Since prohibition became effective
housewives find it difficult to keep
their fruit cake moist. Keeping
whole apples in the cake box is very
good, but a much better way is to
add a cup of stewed. evaporated ap-
pies to the cake batter. The cake
will not only keep moist. but the
apples seem to bring out all he~fa-
yors Of the fruit and spices used.

Thus was born the telephone.
On October 2, 1876, the first recip-

outdoor telephone line two miles long
between Boston and Cambridgeport,
and in that same year the telephone
invention was exhibited at the Centen-
NAL Exhibition az Philadelphia
The first inter-connoction Of tele-
phone lines by means Of a switchboard
was made in Boston in 1877, and was
the block and plug method. But II
was not until January 1873 that
switchboard for commercial use was
installed at New Haven, Connecticut,
with eight connected telephones, by
means Of pivoted strips Of metal and
metal buttons.
The first long distance telephone
line in the world was constructed in
1884, between Boston and New York,
and had two wires. In 1885, another
long distance line was built between
New York and Philadelphia, end had
