 Spookey:-As you are only Is years of age there is no reason why you should be concerned about your fig ure being cut of proportion. In few more years your stomach will not seem too large and your feet and hands will have become more shape ly.
 It is not advisable for a very young girl to resort to corsets for improving the figure and the majority of young women do not wear corsets at all They learn to stand properly and are usually supple-more attractive by far than a stifly corseted figure

He that hath not health hath nothing
 ALOPECIA AREATA NEUROTTCA

This malady is not so bad as it reads; in all proba bility no one has ever died of it. Those who have it may not even suspect it's existence until, perhaps, on giving their hair an extra good combing and brushing they notice a round bald spot, the size of a dime, or a quarter, or a half dollar even-nOt where the badness usually starts, at the temples, or by way of the tonsure, but anywhere. It may even not be seen, but only felt, at the hair line above the neck. A patch on the bearded part of the face may be left bare.
 This kind of badness in patches of nervous origin (for that's what the above AIopecia areata neurotica means) is recovered from, not so much by local applications, as by dis covery of the ailment and by restor- ing the below-par nervous system to its healthful condition. There may at one time have been a fright. shock, a disturbing accident. In one case there was a lightning stroke. In most cases there has been some great and prolonged anxiety, worry or grief. Often the origin is reflex and lies in eye-strain, or in an unhealthful nasal cavity, in defective teeth.
 Dental irritation may arose from tooth cavities, Riggs's disease, ab- scesses in devitalized teeth Gin which the nerves have been killed" or from tmpacted, crowded together teeth, Much of the crowd and bridge work of which we Americans are so proud, in the opinion of Q certain dental au- tn Ority, conceals sources of nerve ir- ritation.

 Vaseline is one of the best hair growers, and will help to get rid of dandruff It depends on the dryness of the scalp how often the vaseline should be applied. Once or twice a week, however, should be often enough.
 Make a part straight from the front to the back of the head and rub the vaseline in thoroughly. Be careful not to let it get on the hair itself. When you have finished that part of the scalp, make another part, and continue thus until you have mas sa ged the whole head.
 Miss K M. P.": Simply drop the matter Since you sent the valen- tine, you cannot be too resentful about the reply, The matter would gain so much publicity that it would be better to quiet it all at once.

STELLA'S THREATS

A sharp turn to the right brought Ilona to a cleared spot in the heart of the woods and still singing she halted and looked curionsly about her. Miguers whistle had certainly come back from this direction. She trained her eyes, but could not see his form.
 Again she whistled. and again came back a reply. Wondering and thinking that maybe he was teasing her, Ilona bounded forward and al- most fell over the form of Stella crouching in a cluInp of bushes near by At sight of her Iona stopped and stood speeches. while Stella glared up at her from her hiding place.
 "So it is you, as I thought" she began, her black eyes flashing ang- rily as she spoke. Then catching sight of Ilonas outfit. her red lips curled in supreme sheer. She jumped to her feet, snapped her fin gers under Ilona's nose and said. Now, what Is 1t you come for?"
 .Where is He?" asked Ilona. shud- der passing down her spine as she saw the look in Sts11a's eyes. "I must see Don Miguel I have but a few moments. Where is he, Stellar"
 You come to see lONtTy IS IL You dare tell me this? You-you- white faced-doll," she brought out in furious voice. And you think that I shall allow you to see him and try to win him to your witch's ways while I step aside, maybe?

That his heart and soul is with his own people and that above all else he hates the Cor gios and their ways2 Were he to see you in those clothes Of a Iady''-she sneered and spat on the ground as she uttered this glaring vindictively at H. ona-"he would quickly let you know what he thought of you and your kind. The lips of Migue' are for the women of his own race, for my own warm lips The gypsy women can kiss. Pale lips such as yours were made but to swallow fine speeches and medicines. So away with you. Gypsy arms and eyes are for him. My love my passions. my heart is what the soul of Miguel cries for. This I know. Even as his father before him craved the love of the gypsies Gypsy blood turns to it's own The blood of the Gorgio can never mix with ours.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Why is it that the first few times that a boy meets me he seems to think lot Of me. but after having met a few times he has not much time for me? l dress neatly and am quite stylish. l am not a very talkative girl.
 LONESOME. Do not look to material things such as dress to hold the interest of a young man. Unless you yourself are entertaining and charming. the fact that you dress stylishly will mean little.
 Incessant talk is tiresome. but there is a happy medium. I think you will find that your lack of abil- ity to keep up a conversation comes from lack of imagination or mental laziness Apply your mind to the situation and you will find number of things to say
 When you are with a young man feel that it is as much your place to entertain him it is his to entertain YOU Try to be more interesting and also appreciate the interesting points about the men who call on you.
 Dear Mrs Thompson: When I was ss1S years old I went with a young man who was the son of d friend of my fathers.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
ChrOmOphytOSiS

Will you please tell me what can cure me? About three years ago I noticed small yellow marks that spread all over a part of my body. I used medicine to cure me but it all ways came back. I always feel very cold.
 Answer-This is easily removed by an application of sodium hyposul- phite, twice daily. one drachm to the ounce of water. Apply on rising and at bedtime. These applications are more effective when the parts are washed with tincture of green soap and hot water.

Now that the vogue in footwear is centered on patent pumps, everyone would like l to know how to preserve them. Vas cline not only polishes the shoes but it keeps them in that soft-Iooking, polished condition for days at a time. However, it is really best for one to rub a little vaseline in to the shoes well immediately after wearing same, and when they are again put rub the vaseline almost completely off/

 Hooks and Eyes-If the hooks and eyes are always coming off just try buttonholing them on and you will no longer have to make such a com plaint. That is, instead of sewing over and over use the ordinary button

BON VOYAGE

You're leaving Us. Margot- We wish you a a)pleasant voyage. Parting is such sweet sorrow, We are sorry to see you go. Especially with the impressions You have gained of our mode of life. It is quito remarkable that one With your powers of observation Should have covered so much ground And really seen so little.
 We have done out best to please. We have listened to your lectures 9 And absorbed your unkind remarks Rather patiently for barbarians Such as we doubtless are.
 Ylou investigated the froth. Not the substance of our country. And what you have to say In the little book you will write Will not hurt our feelings Because we know that you know Absolutely nothing about us. Come over again some time And get acquainted. Official report says that the naval economy plan now under way will give every American an extra trip to the movies. But do We have to go?
 From the photographs of Princess Mary's wedding which have reached this country, we take it that King George really was one of the party. We seem to catch a slight glimpse of his eyebrows just back of the Queens left shoulder. Thehe is no doubt that Queen Mary was at the wedding.
 In spite Of slack times in other directions, there is said to be a fine run of shad this spring. The crape- hangers ought to do something about that and see that it doesn't happen again.

Today's Recipes

Fried Rice With Bacon-Cut three slices of bacon into small pieces and carefully cook until crispj. Remove the bacon and in the fat which re- mains fry the rice which has been previously boiled and cooled. When the rice is Drowned, season we'll and turn out on a hot platter. Sprinkle the cooked bacon over the top and garnish with a bit of parsley.
 Sausage, Mashed Potatoes With Apple Rings-Fry the sausage until crisp, then remove from the fat. In this fry the apple rings which have been cut about a fourth of an inch in thickness. The apples are wiped and the core removed, then sliced. Ar range the mashed potatoes in a mound upon hot platter. Surround with the sausages piled against the mound of potatoes. The apple rings are used as a garnish around the edge of the platter. This method of serv- ing lessens the number of serving dishes required.
