Ho.D to Lose Your Tan,
Freckles or Redness

days motoring, an afternoon on the
tennis court or golf links, sunbath
trip, often brings on a deep tan or
vivid crimson or, more perplexing still,
a vigorous crop of freckles. A very
necessary thing then is mercolised wax,
quite easily. 1t literally peels of the
affected skin-just a little at a time,
so there's no hurt or Inconvenience. As
the skin comes of In almost invisible
fiaky particles, no trace of the treatment
Is shown. Get An ounce Of mercolized
wax at your druggists and use this

Letter From Leslie Prescott to
Leslie Prescott, in Care of
Secret Drawer.

Something happened to me last
night that was quite interesting. I
gave my first dinner to one Of Jacks
friends from the office. who brought
his wife to dine with us.
In some peculiar way the CONVEX
sation drifted round to the marriage
problem. 1t always seems to do this
when two or three married couples
get together.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ellington are rather
strange. I would judge that Harry
Ellington had been a rounder before
marriage and had not gotten over It
yet.
His wife. whom he called Ruth"
was, on the other hand. a delicate,
fragile, rather sullen blond.
+ During the conversation I found
cut that although Harry and Jack
were Of distinctly different DISPOSE
tons and temperaments, brought UP
in different circumstances, they
each had the same old rooted opin.
ion that when a woman was good
she was very good indeed and when
she was bad she was horrid.
1t seems strange to me that even
since the war. men still hold such
erroneous. ideas Of women. They yet
do not realize that we are the same
as they are, just a queer little tumble
of, yirues and vices.
They seem to want us always
strong to others. but always weak to
themselves. If they only knew It,
women are petty at times and un-
selfish at others. They can be more
tt nder than masculine imagination
can conceive and quite as cruel as
even Rudyard Kipling declares they
are.
Every man puts his wife on a ped
cstal and Is heartbroken If. through
no fault Of hers, she tumbles off It.
A place on a pedestal is very difficult
to maintain and 1 am sure every
woman grows tired and wobbly UP
