Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl of eighteen although most people be- Heve me to be only sixteen. am a high school girl. I am very youthful looking and wear my hair down. Do you really think any respectable girl has her hair bobbed? I would like to have mine bobbed.
 Of course respectable girls have their hair bobbed. I do not advise it unless the condition of the hair would be improved or the style would be par ticu1arly becoming to the girl. Round faced girls do not look well with bob bed hair.
 Dear Mrs Thompson: I had date with a nice boy one night and for some excusabIe reason I could not keep the engagement I sent him word, but he became angry and has not spoken to me since. Of course l am not in love with him, but I wish to renew his friendship

 The boy was rude to refuse to ac- cept your excuse Since he refuses to be friendly now, there is really noth ing you can do to renew the friend ship.
 Dear Mrs. Thompson: Will you kind ly tell me something that will remove hair from the arms and upper lip? Is there something that will remove it permanently?
 LOUISE.
 Apply peroxide of hydrogen to the upper lip and arms every night and morning. This will bleach the hair and make it less noticeable An ap- phcation to remove the hair would only increase and coarsen the growth. The eIeetric needle would permanently remove it, and if the growth on the upper lip is heavy enough to be a Dear Mrs. Thornpso I am a girl noustache, I would advise you to have it removed by the electric needle. nineteen years of age and go with a young man whom I love very much.

YOUR ST. VALENTINES PARTY.
Laura. A. Kiekrnan

YOUR ST. VALENTINES PARTY.
 Invitations for a St. Valenttne's party should be sent out a week or ten days in advance. They should read |:
 Miss Amy Black requests the
 pleasure of MT. Ralph Healy's
 company at St. Valentines
 party to be held at her home on
 the evening of February, the
 fourteenth, at eight o'clock.
 A grand march may start the affair. Partners for this can be chosen by asking the ladies to draw a torn half heart from one basket and the men tc draw a half-heart from another basket. The lady and gentleman whose heart-ha1ves fit together perfectly, when matched, are partners. When all are paired off in this way. a circle IS formed and someone strikes. up a march on the piano. Whenever the music stops, all the ladies stand still while the men move up one. This goes on until every lady has had diff ferent partner: and, when the original partner comes round again there is a Grand March, with the hostess and her partner leading.
 Making Valentines Is the jolly game that follows. An abundance of lacy paper (that which is sold for pantry shelves will do), goId-paper, red hearts and ribbon-ends are piled in the cen Ire of a large table. All are provided with scissors and glue brush. The player who has made the prettiest or funniest valuentine in ten minutes, wins. Clever people will write a two line verse to stick on theirs.
 Heart Game: In playing this, all sit in a circle and the first one says to his left-hand neighbor, ''Where's your heert?'' This neighbor may answer anything he pleases. for instance, My heart is in Rome" Thereupon the per son who asked the question must make up a sentence that will rhyme with the neighbours reply as, for in stance, May 1t never come home." Then it is the neighbor's turn to ask the same heart question to his left

told us and he could tell if any animal was sick, and if so the Jewish butch CTS were not allowed to buy it, but the Gentle butchers did And after they bought their meat they prepared 1t differently than we did
 First they let it soak in water for about half an hour, then they put it on some board and sprinkIed it with salt, so as to draw all the impurities out of the meat and let is stand for another half an hour, then after that they carefully washed every trace of salt from it with cold water, and use it for whatever purpose they want. This law, she said, had been handed down to them from the time of Moses.
 In all fairness to my friend. I want to state that she didn't say this to ridicule the Gentiles. but in answer to cur questions. I've never heard or this before, and is it really so. that they are more healthy than we be- cause of the way they eat
 The only disease Jewish people suf- fer most from is diabetes. she said, be- cause their meals are too rich NOW is all this true?

Totally blind, and raising a family, doing all her own work and making all her own clothes, that's the achieve ment of Mrs. M. S. Acker of Youngs- town who had perfect sight twelve years ago. Trained as a modiste and head of a Boston shop before her marriage to her Canadian husband, Mrs Acker had always done her own sewing after marriage.
 Then one day came the tragedy. a faulty operation. and the doctors told her she would be blind in a few weeks. Today she cannot distinguish . night from day, yet she turns out 8 steak broiled to a turn, typewrites as fast as the average stenographer, does all her own shopping, and is raising her family unaided.
 When the pews first came she wept and .stormed at the injustice of fate. .Then one day l came to my senses, '' said Mrs Acker- II realized that was far from helpless, even though blind I trebled my energies and Concentrated on my work. l used all my other senses and developed them to the point where they reached their highest efficiency, and found that though blind I could be happy and of service
 \ Mrs. Acker cuts out her dresses from late patterns, even trims her hats and makes the clothes for her children. She picks out the materials in the stores of-the city, asking only the color and choosing after careful examination with her fingers.
 She travels throughout the city un- aided, shops without a falter- and is a help to other blind folks of the city.
 She learned ty-pewriting in two les sons and mastered the blind system of reading in two weeks, reading the same magazines as her husband.
 She is active outside her home in societies and several womens clubs. MT. Acker when speaking of his wife pays her the high tribute, ITO me she will never be blind.''
