Dear MIS- thompson: am greatly
troubled with excessive perspiration.
BROWN EYES.
A very simple powder. most de-
Elightful to use after bathing, and one
which Will do away entirely with ex-
cessive perspiration, is made OF COM
bining one ounce of boric acid, two
ounces of precipitated chalk, and sew
en- ounces of powdered talcum. After
bathing the armpits with warm water
and face soap, dry and dust well with
the powder.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am trou-
bIed with wrinkles under my eyes.
What can do to remove them?
MRS. H. E. F.
First of all you should look for the
trouble that causes the wrinkles. Per-
haps you have an eye strain which
could be corrected with the right
glasses, or you may have way of
smiling which encourages the wrinkles
to come.
Cocoa butter is excellent for filling
up the tissues of the skin. Rub in
gently every night before retiring, anG
wash the face with cold water in tha
morning.
Dear Mrs Thompson: Ny sister
and her husband have had trouble
which of the two is to blame. She
and are not "a bit alike. 1 always
have kept a neat house and have had
three good meals day for my hus-
band. He is a good man and appre-
ciates that 1 have been a good wife.
Sister always cared a lot for clothes
When we were girls at home she
would get out of as much work as she
could and she would hang over
fashion magazines and then try to
make her clothes look like the things
she saw in them.
She fell in love with a travelling
salesman that came to town and they
were married. Their home is here
but he only gets home week ends. It
was lucky for her, too because she
three meals day week in and week
out. AS it was, she would make him
ia Ike her to a restaurant to eat. Her
house always looked untidy too.
Now they have had a quarrel and
he says he is not coming back. She
is carrying on something awful and
says that if he would only come back
she would do things differently She
cries SO that 1 am afraid she will lose
her mind. / tell her that if she would
start doing better now and keep her
house in order just for herself it.
wouldn't be SO hard for her if he did
come back
Her husband told my husband that
he intends to go back if he sees she
really wants him. I think she shows
she wants him, but he says tears won't
convince him. He made my husband
| promise not to tell her that he intends
to go back after a while.
He didn't tell me not to tell and /
wondered if it wouldn't be, good plan
to do it so that she would stop crying
and get to work. If you were in my
place would you tell her he intends to
go back? ALICE.
Do not betray your husbands con-
fidence by telling your sister what her
husband told him. Try to make your
sister realize the only way to bring
about his return is greater effort on
her part. If she earnestly tries to
make a better home, her husband will
recognize her effort and will go back
to her.
To tell her that he intends to return
would bring about a superficial eff
fort. She would improve her ways for
the time being, but she would slip
back into the old way again. Let ex-
perience and suffering be her teacher.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been
separated from my husband for four
years During that time he has not
given me a cent of money or bought
me any clothes. I have been going
with a fellow for about six months
and he gave me a wrist watch for
Christmas. Should I keep it? Do you
think 1 would have anyztrouble get
ting a divorce?
WORRIED NJ. z. M.
do not believe you would have
