BEAUTY CHATS
Large Pores.

At least eighty-hve women out OF
every hundred would have perfect
compilations IL IL were not for large
pores around the nostrlls and In that
little cleft of the chin. 1t may be
because people are more careless
washing the skin here; 1t may be be-
cause the circulation Is more sluggish
at these points. Whatever the cause,
few can boast a really fiawless COM
pIexion.
Yet the remedy is fairly simple.
Assuming that the digestive and
bowel systems are healthy, as they
must be to allow a healthy skin, the
treatment consists merely in using
cleansing cream, massage and then
an astringent- The necessary time
consumed each day need not be more
than five minutes.
Wiring face cloth or a small Turk
ish towel from hot water and hold it
for a minute or two over the face to
open the pores. Rub in cleansing
cream, and rub hard around the nos
trils and the chin. Work in quite
bit. Then wiring the cloth from hot
water again and wipe off every, pos
sible bit of the cream. This proves
much more effective than simply wip-
once more opens the minute pores, so
that more cream and consequently
more of the dirt In the pores is
washed out.
Rinse in cool or cold water. If you
can rub the skin with a bit of ice for
a few minutes, it is the best astrin-
gent treatment you can have. If that

What Today Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Taurus,

TodaYs vibrations are excellent,
and favor business and professional
matters. This is a very good oppor-
tunity for putting new plans into
execution, and for the inauguration
of fresh ideas. The aspects also in
dicate that any public reform move
ment, along political or religious
lines, should today receive a fresh
impetus.
A child born today win be fairly
healthy, but will be rather inclined
to laziness. Every effort should be
made in it's youth to discipline the
mind, and to teach it, by practical
methods, that only by work can its
wants be satisfied. Any spelling
on the part Of either father or mother
it is desired to eradicate.
If today is your birthday you pos
sess a character and disposition OF
which many of your friends are en-
vious, as you are very loyal and
steadfast, speak Ill of no one, and
and gayety. You yourself know, how
ever, even If your friends are not
conscious of it, that your besetting
defect is putting off until tomorrow
what you can, and ought, TO DO to-
day. Procrastination has caused you
much loss, both physically and men
tally. Many a time kindly act for
a friend has suggested itself to you,
but your accustomed dilatoriness has
led to postponement until the act was
performed too late to merit the char
acterization of kindly thought or con-
sideration.
In business many a good opportu-
nifty has been lost because you de-
ferred taking advantage Of 1t until
it had passed, or had been used by
others who decided and acted quietly.
Nothing, as a rule, is gained by
postponement and delay when the
only excuse for not taking prompt
and effective action is an inherent
love of representation. The Earl Of
Chesterfield wrote: Know the true
value of time; snatch, seize, and en-
joy every moment of it No idleness,
no laziness, no procraStination; never
put off till tomorrow what you can
do today"
Time wasted is existence, used is
life. =.

Chatterer Has Wicked Spring
Thoughts.
Beware of those with naught to do,
For mischief they are sure to brew.
Old Mother Nature.

Old Mother Nature.
1t was the season of happiness.
Spring is always the season of happi-
ness. The sweet singers of the Smil-
ing Pool were singing as only they
can Every day brought new songs
to the Green Forest, the Green Mead
ows and the Old Orchard, for every
day there were new arrivals of feath-
cred folk returning from the Sunny
South. There was SO much of joy and
happiness everywhere that 1t didn't
seem as If there could be room for
anything else. Even dull, grumpy
Prickly Porky the Porcupine felt the
joyous spirit and made queer sounds,
his way of expressing happiness.
Chatterer the Red Squirrel was hap
py. He was too happy to keep his
tongue still. 1t was good to see the
green things growing, to see the trees
putting out new leaves, to feel that
the hard times of winter were over.
These things filled Chatterer's heart
with happiness
Now, would you suppose that into
a happy heart wicked thoughts could
creep? They can They crept into
rel. And it was all because of his ap-
petite. Yes, sir, 1t was all because Of
his appetite. 1t is queer what a lot of
trouble appetite gets people into.
Chatterer had plenty to eat. but he
wanted a change. He was tired of
nuts and acorns and seeds and corn.
He had had these in plenty all winter.
Now he was hungry for something
different Just what it was he want

Chatterer's eyes sparkled wick edly.

"It means that Welcome and Mrs
Robin have finished their nest and
Mrs. Robin has laid an egg. Yes, sir,
that's what it means, and now I

Lace ON Gowns of Simple Design
NY MARY MARSHALL

ono thing that very distinctly diff
ferentiates occidental and oriental
costumery for the past four or fve
hundred years is the presence in the
former of lace. One could no more
imagine lace on a Japanese kimono
than one could imagine the painted
beauties of the reign of Louis XIV
without it Lace simply isn't in the
picture with the costumery Of India,
of China, of Persia or any of the
other countries that we vaguely term
oriental.
So with the wave of oriental influ-
enoe that has deluged our own fash
ions within the past five or six years
laces have sometimes been laid def
nitely aside. Women have sternly
denied themselves any lace on their
negliges because they were choosing
strange, exotic boudoir garments of
oriental or pseudo-oriental designing.
There was no room for lace in any
of the modes inspired by Indo-China,
nor any in the very limited run of
Egyptian fashions.
Now, while the oriental influence is
still with us, it has been pushed suf-
ficiently aside to make room for
return of lace. And in this revival of
lace we are really going through
what might be compared with the
reaction that took place when lace
was first invented. At that time
over 400 years ago-almost every ar
ticie of apparel was trimmed with
lace-gloves, shoes, dressing gowns,
chemises, petticoats, hose, handker-
chiefs, etc. 'Handkerchiefs made of
finest linen were striped with gold
thread and fringed with lace" says
one authority. Gloves wholly made
of lace appeared, and later the but
tons of shoes were made of the same
material"
The cleverest work of the designers
at the present time is in their gowns
of lace that still retain the simple
lines to which women have become
accustomed. The sketch shows
beige lace gown with green bead
girdle, which the earrings and slip
pers match in color. The gown is
trimmed the same way in the back as
in the front, only that the lace frill
is at the right rather than the left
