 Between us we took off the 15 pounds of foreign hatefulnesss. and I was my usual 100 per cent American.
 There is also a rolling machine which I patronized once and had a couple of inches moved off my hips. It was much more fun than floor roll ing for that purpose.
 I believe these mechanical devices fill a very great need for those who are unable to exercise. and also for those who are too indolent to exert themselves Sometimes the effect of fat is to make one stupid) and I know of excellent results from them.
 But as in active forms of exercise, it is very wise to begin lightly and to heed the attendants warning when you. in your zeal. want things speeded up.
 I must not forget to speak of good deep massage in the hands of a good masseuse. This is also excellent
 None of these things can take the place of active exercise, however. .wh en you are able to take it Nor will they take the place of dieting, for you can go right out after a treatment and eat on more than they have taken off
 You must diet, with any exercise, if you want to reduce. Of course if you do get Q lot of vigorous exercise, you can eat a lot more than you could otherwise; but you probably will not keep up the exercise to that extent, and so you must know something of dietetics.
 Don't follow any advice that tells you to cut out all starches, all sugars, all fats-in fact, all the things you like to eat We will teach you some thing of dfetetics in this column as we go along, and meanwhile you can get at any public library good books on the subject.

The competition from other sources Is becoming altogether too obnoxious.
 With the styles where they are, and getting more so all the time, people just sort of hate to go off the street and buy tickets for a musical show.
 They fell that, while they are in the theater they are missing something. for something worth while is liable to happen along the sidewalk at any moment.
 Some of the revue managers and producers are daring and really have gone about as far as they can with their costumes and remain within the law. But there are no restrictions placed on the lady in the street She Is uncensored, untrammeled and un- terrified.
 During the intermissions the men in the audience rush out. grab their pass checks and hurry to the sidewalk and a good many of them are late get ting back into the show.

NO, too late then, motner-o-m -mine.'' IIona corrected her ever so gently. "I must find out about many things if Pm supposed to just be a good daugh- 1 ter and marry anyone that you pick out you see" she explained. 'If I discover that the children are the suf- ferers in any way why then I'd have to follow my own ideas the sub ject,'' she finished with a, soft little smile.
 '"Goodness me, Iona Who on earth have you been talking to? These ideas of yours are dreadful for any girl to hold. You sound like one of
 those tmmodest, so-called advanced nice girl to hold. You sound like one of those immodest, so-called 'advanc- ed women who are out for Eugenics and birth-contro1 and such nonsense answered her mother with a. fine lit tie shudder of horror.
 Gross my heart I've never spoken q word about all this to a, single soul before mother. Course I've thought a lot about it since I arrived here, and saw all the loveless couples about me and discovered that it was considered quite correct for girl to marry a. man that she wasn't in the least bit in love with,'' she assured her mother. looking frankly at her Seems to me that it's a most awful serious thing

who come to see her once a week Besides going with these two friends she goes with some of her other boy friends to ice cream parlors or to the show. She thinks this IS all r1gnt. while I think it is all wrong Please tell me who is right.
 A PERPLEXED MOTHER
 I think you are right. A girl of 16 is to young to spend most of her time and thought on boys. It is a period in her life when she should be getting her education and when she should have plenty of sleep so that she will be strong, healthy woman. She cannot go with boys all the time and get enough sleep at night.
 l would advise you to limit the number of nights she can spend in the company of boys. Friday and Satur- day nights are good because sh& does not have school the following day.
 Dear Mrs. Thompson: My eve lashes have been coming out lately Will there be any harm in using olive oil on my lashes each night before retiring?
 I am of dark complexion and have quite a bit of hair my arms be- tween my wrists and elbows. Can it be removed successfully and, if not what can I use to bleach it? I have tried peroxide.
 A DAILY READER
 It will be helpful to apply olive oil to your eyelashes at night if you are faithful in the treatment.
 know of nothing better than per oxide of hydrogen for bleach. Pos sibly you were too irregular in the application. If you put it on your arms every night and morning you will surely notice a change in the course of a few months. I would not advise you to try to remove the hair, and it would be too expensive to have it removed by means of the electric needle.

BRUSHING THE HAIR

There is such a thing as brushing the hair too much, though I know it has been a long time the fashion to say that the hair should be- brushed frequently to stimulate and distribut @ it's oil
 Oily hair should not be brushed, that IS obvious. It should be kept free from tangles by using a coarse comb, then should be gone over l1ght- ly by brush with a large piece of cot ton batting placed over the bristles a few strokes are all that is necessary A great deal of dust and some oil will be taken from the hair by this puff of cotton.
 Dry hair can be brushed more wig orously but in any case the brush sh ould not be too stiff and should not be brought down hard upon the scalp. This is quite apt to bruise and ire quently does more harm than good. I have had many people write to me that they do not like to brush their hair because it stirs up dandruff. Of course this isn't so If dandruff exists on the scalp it is much better to brush it loose and brush some of 1t off. But dandruff must be treated in quite 8 special fashion and will be discussed another time.
 The chief value of brushing the hair Is that it 1oosens it when it has a tendency to pack and that it lets the air through it, also that by it's massa ge of the scalp it stimulates a hood sup ply to the roots of the hair. If the bristles of the brush come down too vigorously upon the scalp they will bruise and irritate.
 The scalp should always be treated

uONA.s "PRoBLEM.

Mother said Ikona to Mrs Cam eron the next day, when they were sitting over a cup of tea together What sort of children do people have that marry each other without being in lover" She looked artlessly up into her mothers startled eyes as she put this question ana waited, inter estedly for the answer.
 What sort of what? Good gra- cious child what a. question? Hasn't Miss Stephanie explained to you yet that you can't always say and ask the things you want to, my dear?
 "Yes, but surely I can be just home folks with you mother?" pouted H. ona as she looked at her mother in surprise.
 "well, that Is one of the questions that is never asked, not in polite So- ciety my love. Besides what on earth are you interested in such a subject for2 You are far too young and innocent to have any such thoughts going through your little head, Ilona," said Mrs Comeron, gent ly My little girl musn't let her inn agination run away with her It's bad for her, really"
 "I know, but. mother, when your mind is simply bursting with curiosi- ty and questions what do you do? I'd burst if I were to have to keep them all to myself. Honor bright. Besides must find out."t5
 "Of course, dear. I understand per fectly, but such weighty problems are far too Vexing for young girls like you. It's your duty to keep happy and un- troubled and smiling until you are married. Time enough then for won dering about such things"

Dean Mrs Thom pson: am a $oung lady 24 years of age and am deeply in love with a young man two years younger than myself He ask : ed me to marry him. but don't know just what to do am working steady and hard every day in a laundry. He has not worked for a whole year and he does not seem to care if he gets g, job or not. He puts in most of his time in pool halls. He seems to enjoy the company of a poor class of men
 When he comes to see me he always appears to be a very decent young does not work he tells me he cannot get a Dob. He has promised me he will try to get a job after we are maf- ried.
 What would advise me to do?
 STELLA MOORE.
 Your fiance surely ought to be able . to find some kind of work if he tries hard enough. There are many enter : prising men doing work entirely un- suitable for them simply because they will not loaf. By no means marry a man without a job, and do not marry just as soon as he gets one. Wait six months or @ year and see that he intends to stick to his job and earn advancements before you marry. You will throw your life away and be very unhappy in the bargain if you con- sent to his wishes.
 It is a very serious matter, too, that your fiance plays pool so much. You would be surprised if you knew the number of women who write to me and say that they are wretchedly un- happy because their husbands won't stay at home evenings; the husband goes to pool parlors and spends his earnings, while he can't spare 10 cents for his wife to spend at a movie.
