Superfuous Hair.

One of the hardest of all queries
TO answer is how to get rid of super
nuous hair on the face. There is
only one really permanent method
that 1 know of, the electric needle
process. For years the chemists of
beauty preparation and cosmetic
laboratories have been working over
this problem, but SO far the needle
method, used 80 or more years ago. is
still the best
What the chemists have done is
this: Instead of a single needle, four
hair follicles and the current turned
on. Instead of one sting, there are
four or five, but it isn't unpleasant
mot really a singing sensation at
ALL more like a mild pin prick). For
some reason, this multiple needle
process kills off most of the little
ungrown hairs that live down in the
skin. SO that only about 10 per cent
Of the hairs grow in again, instead
of so per cent as with the single
needle.
If you can afford these treatments,
I always advise them. If you can't
rub your skin with peroxide and pull
out the large hairs with a pair Of
tweezers. Touch the spot at once
with peroxide, this makes the skin
antiseptic and makes the new hair
blond and invisible when it begins
to grow in again.
To discourage the growth of hairs
and to bleach and destroy the fuzz
that comes thickly on the upper lip.

also true that many OF the miShapS
might be prevented by little precau-
ton. If table covers were protected,
either by turning back or being COW
cred with several thicknesses of
paper when one decided to use the
table as desk, or if the container
of hot water were put on the por-
celain of a washstand or on some un-
polished surface, such misfortunes as
ink spots and disfigured furniture
could be prevented easily. AS for the
fountain pen trouble any one who
writes with one Of these pens should
know enough to hold piece of paper
beneath the pen when shaking it to
get the ink to flow properly.
Welcome Guests.
1t certainly is part of the duty of a
guest to make as little trouble as pos
sible in a household during a visit.
Some persons succeed so we'll in doing
this that they are in constant demand
as guests. They not only refrain
from making trouble. but are a posi-
TIVE help and are joys to hostesses.
The help may not be in washing
dishes or doing the manual things
about a home. Il may consist of
reading to children, seeing that flow
ers are tastefully arranged. doing a
bit of darning or mending, etc. While
such aid as will really be assistance
should be given. there are hostesses
who prefer to work alone, either be-
cause they find it quicker to whisk
the tasks away all by themselves or
because they find conversation while
working is somewhat confusing and
weariSome. 1t is for the guest to
realize whether her hostess prefers
help or quiet and TO lend a hand with
the tasks or absent herself while
they are being performed.
When Enjoyable.
Guests can fall in with plans for
their entertainment with so much evil
dent pleasure that a hostess is happy
in doing things for them, or they can
accept with no enthusiasm, leaving a
hostess to wonder whether some
other plan would not have been more
enjoyable. These latter visitors are
among the difficult ones to have un-
der ones roof. They are enough to
make any hostess uneasy. 1t takes
the cooperation of both hostess and
guests to make visits thoroughly en-
joyable to every one.

big tail was almost dragging on the
ground. He was running as If SO tired
that he was ready to drop. AS he drew
near she saw in his eyes a look of
despair. He didn't even look upon the
rock as he passed. Mrs. Reddy leaped

said she sharply.
Reddy did as she commanded. AS he
entered the water he turned TO give
her a grateful look. Then he splashed d
across and threw himself down be-

She waited until those dogs were in
plain sight. Then she started off
without appearing to hurry. The dogs
saw her, and away they went after
her.
Behind the old log beyond the brook
Reddy painted and painted as II he

What Today Means to You
Sagittarius.
BY MARY BLAKE.

The influence of adverse planetary
aspects continues and prevails today,
indicating an even more pronounced
proneness to quick anger and I'M
curbed speech. while the vibra tions
presage an atmosphere OF dissatis-
faction and pessimism, with an alto
gether too critical attitude toward
the efforts Of others. Many bitterly
regretted arrangements, many
broken friendships, have all had
their origin in yielding to the un-
controlled emotions prompted bv a
condition such as that which prevails
today. Only by careful self
restraint and exercise of will power
can these dangers be avoided and
such risks eliminated.
A child born today will enjoy
fairly good health, although, just
subsequent to the period of adoles-
cence. 1t will probably be subject to
one illness that will cause deep
anxiety and require much care.
Later on in life harmonious and
pleasant surroundings, some one to
love and to love it will fill its cup
with happiness Its tastes will be
decidedly domestic and it will not be
ambitious to shine in society. 1t
Will be demonstrative and impulsive,
rather jealous, easy to please and
unusually amiable. 1t should exer-
else more than ordinary care in the
selection OF a mate.
If today is your birthday, you are
rather excitable, imaginative, i'm
petuous, energetic and capable. You
possess marked executive talent, and
you are positive, honest and earnest.
Your mind is judicial, keen and dis
eliminating. You are kind and
anectionate in your home circle.
You have many traits that have
prevented your attaining that ma
tertal success to which your capa-
biltty entities you. Excitability and
impetuostty are your worst enemies,
and you jump to conclusions that are
often the reverse of correct.
You are, in addition, an extremist,
and seem to forget that it is not
always necessary to cut, and that
sometimes cure can be effected
without drastic operation.
You sometimes allow your keen
imagination to sway your decisions.
You very often ignore cold, hard
facts and let your fancy play. to
your own undoing.

Il wish all my guests were as
thoughtful as you are" explained
one hostess, who entertains great
deal.
The reason for her comment was
the sight of a turned-back cover on
a. table. The guest was writing when
her hostess knocked on the door and
was admitted to tell of a plan Cor the
afternoon. The guest was writing on
a table. There was d fine drawnwork
cover on the table, and the guest,
fearing lest some spot of ink might
mar it, had turned back the cover
and set the bottle of ink and her
other writing materials on the table
instead of on the cover.
why, it never occurred to me to do
anything else except turn back the
cover" replied the guest. 1T seems
TO ME l am not specially thoughtful,
hut that any one who didn't 90 as
much must be very careless.
ThoughtIessncss.
Well" laughed the hostess. let
me tell you that many of my sheets
have been badly spotted WITH ink, and
table covers as we'll. There are many
persons who like to write in bed.
They just write a line. l suppose,
when they go to bed to send off by
the first mail in the morning If the
fountain pen doesn't write freely they
shake it, and the specks of ink get
over the bed clothes. Its not easy to
get the spots out. Perhaps you have
noticed some faint marks on your
sheets. 1t seems nice to see you so
careful, but let me tell you about the
plan for this afternoon" and they
chatted about other things
Experience.
There are few hostesses vino have
not had experiences similar to those
mentioned. 1t NAV not be that the
annoyance was exactly the same,
though ink spots on linen are com
mon. Perhaps it is hot-water mark
on a handsome mahogany dresser
caused by a pitcher or glass of hot
water that was thoughtlessly placed
on the polished surface. Or some tof-
let water may have been spilled and
the alcohol have marred the finish.

It's the Way.


Please give me- another teacher. J
don't like this one" The little lad
was very earnest, so earnest that he
was almost unable to control the nerv-
Gus culver of his mouth as he begged
the principal for this favor.
But that was very serious thing.
You know changing teachers means
loss of work and you'd have to
work very hard for week or so
to even up"
'1'll work very, very hard II you'll
only let me have another teacher"
But why, son? You have a very
good teacher now"
Il know it, but she isn't nice to
me. What good is it being a good
teacher If she don't like you? She
don't like me. When the teacher
doesn't like you what good does it
do you to try? She won't see your
hand when it's raised or nothing"
What makes you think she doesn't
like you?"
Lots of things. 1 asked her for a
notebook and she made a mad face
and told Hennie to get me one. He
handed it to her and she slammed 1t
on my desk and never even looked
at me. That wasn't treating me nice.
Don't you think you are making
too much of little things? The teacher
has lot to do and may not have been
thinking about you and the book at
all"
''Oh, it isn't just the book. It's
always like that. If she says any
thing or does anything she does 1T
just like she hated to. l know when
she tells me something that she
wishes she didn't have to. So I'd
rather go into another class, even if
1 have to work harder and not have
to see her every day. She does every
thing, but it's the way she does it
that makes me sore"

But in this he was mistaken. One of
those hunters who had helped snoke e
him out of his home in the Old Pas
ture was wise in the ways of foxes.
He had taken note of the direction in
which Reddy had gone away. He
knew that Reddy might go strai ght
away for a long distance, but that
sooner or later he would turn and
work around in a big circle. He was
not likely to run in a country with
which he was not familiar. So this
hunter with his terrible gun had cut
across to lie in wait where he thought
Reddy would be likely to appear. He
had come out onto the road where
Reddy had played his clever trick
and he had met that automobile
The driver of the automobile had
told the hunter of how a fox had run
ahead of the machine and finally had
leaped into the bushes at one side of
the road. The hunter had asked just
where Reddy had done this. Then he
hurried on down the road until he
had come to where Bowser the Hound
and the other dogs were yainly try
ing to find Reddy's trail again. He
had led BOwser back up the road to
the place where Reddy had Ieaped
into the bushes, and there Bowser's s
wonderful nose soon found the trail
At the sound of BowserS voice the
other dogs had hurried to join him
So once more Reddy had had to run.
Now, all this time Mrs. Reddy had
been listening to the voices of those
dogs in the distance, and waiting for
Reddy to begin to circle back, as she
knew he would. AS soon as the sound
of those distant voices began to sound
louder. Mrs Reddy started swiftly to-
ward a certain place where she knew
Reddy would be likely to pass. Mean
while she had found out where most
of those hunters with terrible guns
were waiting.
Mrs. Reddy lay down on a certain
fiat rock, which she was sure Reddy
would pass. The sound of the dogs
drew nearer. Then, coming down

Gelatin-Fruit Dainty,

Take one-half an envelope of gel
attn, one-fourth cupful OF cold water,
one-half a cupful OF sugar, the white
or one egg, one cupful of canned
pineapple and Strawberries, one pint
or cream and one cupful of chopped
nuts. Soak the gelatin in cold water
for five minutes and dissolve it over
hot water. Add the dissolved gelatin
to the cream and sugar, and stir in
the beaten egg white When cool
add the fruit and nuts. Serve ice cold
decorated with fruit sprinkled with
sugar.
When you have opened a can of
fruit save the juice from it, and when
you make plain gelatin use the fruit
juice for dissolving gelatin instead
of using water. The juice gives a
better flavor and is more nutritious.
