Now I have another wart. What
would you advise me to do to get
rid Of it? should hate to be
burned SO badly again.
THANK YOU.
The greatest care should be used
when applying nitric acid to wart
SO that the acid only touches the
wart. 1t should be put on in small
quantities with a toothpick or
match. It is true that the tender
skin around the wart is badly burn
ed by the acid if it is put on in so
large quantity that it runs of on
to the skin.
One of the readers OF this col
umn wrote me about removing a
wart by means of piece of chalk.
She kept it handy and applied it
several times day. You might try
her method.

Notes By Wire
to The ARGUS

London, July 10.-It is necessary
this season to have ones hat fit
ones head. and the fit must be per-
feet This-fs because the crown is
almost innocent Of trimming.
Hence the outline Of the head Is
shown and il the hat fits badly the
result is disastrous. The light and
cool crinoline hats are being faced
with georgette. the same shade as
the hat, and bound with the same
shade Of narrow silk ribbon. Often
they are trimmed with transparent
georgette flowers which give an
airy effect.
London, July 10.-Crinkled silk 10
being extensively used for after
noon gowns as well as for some OF
the newer hats. Often it is em-
ployed in little cascades Of ruffles-
forming a ruffled panel-on gown
otherwise quite plain. Beige mus
lin with large black spots is anoth-
er favorite at present. So is silk
mohair and vanished marquisette.
Myrtle green is a soft new color
which is a stunning background for
gold and silver.
London, July 10.-The wide
brimmed sailor, always a trim adj
junct to the tailored costume, is
'in" again for young girls although
for some reason it does not appear
to be popular with matrOns. The
extremely large hats being worn at
present have abandoned the mass
of trimming which at first dis
tinguished them. They now de-
pend on line for loneliness, adding
only a curling feather or a scant
handful of large, flat flowers.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: ] have a
daughter who is "a years old. She
is q very pretty girl and has had
q good many suitors ever since she
was II. At present she is receiv-
ing attention from two young men
who seem to be very serious. One
is fine young man Of q and Is
very active in the church. She does
not like him nearly as well as the
other, but l much prefer him.
The other makes more money
than the first, but he does not seem
SO good to me. He does not 60 to
church and he smokes cigarets. My
daughter loves him SO much that l
am afraid she will marry him II she
has a chance, which / am sure she
will have.
What can do to make her choose
the young man I admire? l feel
it would be. so much better for her
with him even il he does not earn
as much as the other.
MRS. NJ. B. D.
Do not interfere in your daugh-
ter's choice of a husband. She is
old enough now to know her own
heart and mind. Even if the first
young man goes to church and is
quite perfect in every way, if your
daughter and he are not congenial,
their marriage would be unhappy.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am 16
years old and have a girl friend
who is IS. This girl friend invited
me to her house one Sunday night
because her boy friend and anoth-
err boy were coming over. told
her I would be very glad to 60. and
l really was.
Sunday afternoon some friends Of
mothers came over and invited us
to go automobile riding. We went
to another friends house in the
country and were invited to stay
for supper there. The people who
had taken US said they would stay
and SO of course there was moth
ing for mother and me to do but
stay too. We didn't get home until
it was too late to 60 to the girls
house. Now she is very angry at
me. What can ! do to make her
realize it was not my fault?
BILLY.
If you have explained and told
the girl you were sorry not to keep
your word with her, there is moth
Ing else to be done. l think she
will get over her unpleasant feel
ing in two or three weeks and you
can be as good friends as ever.
Speak to her as if nothing had hap
pened.
