To Treat Your Complexion
 In Summer
TO KEEP makeup on in summer,

T0 KEEP a makeup on in summer
 use plenty of astringent if you have
 an oily skin, or a vanishing cream All vanishing creams are drying, and in this America, after 36, most women women shouldn't be using them, says the Delineator. But if your skin is oily, use a good vanishing cream, then your rouge, then a powder that is heavy enough to stick, yet not so heavy that it makes you look artificial. Or instead of powder, use q good liquid powder, preferably cream in shade, or even ocher, and an orange shade of rouge with it. Then you look wind blown and sun-kissed and delightful and never artificial.
 Liquid powder is for dry skins, too and if you get a pure one-and you simply mustn't get any other kind--it won't hurt the skin and it will keer it from sunburninG.
 There's new fluffy, peeachy-pink cream, luscious and just out, that gives you beautiful dull luster. Thin il with skin-tonic or wich-hazel for the face, but put it on straight for meek and arms. It's heavenly for evening"
 This cream absolutely will prevent sunburn and freckles and tan. And it's waterproof, so that you can spread it over face and neck and arms, look more beautiful than ever, and go swim. ming in the sea and stunning on the sand and be as safe from sunburn and freckles as you'd be lying in a cool dark cave

How Many scarfs Do You OwnG


 E6D UT of all the plaguea good ~D Heaven, thy wrath can send,
 save, save, ohl save me from the candid friend'--who, criticizes your clothes. He circles you with cat-like tread and hawk-eyed mien. He de- mands to know where you got em {; why you got lem; whether you got lem under the influence of sunstroke, she'll shock or homebrew. Unlike Abou Ben Adhem, may his tribe decrease. Se- riously, though, more and more men nowadays are paying close attention to others dress and, therefore, paying more attention to their own-and it's a development full of promise. Clothes are not the most important thing in life, but they are indiyisibly bound up with one of the most important things in life which, after health, is success. A mans cravat has always been the focusing point of observation, because nothing is so clearly clue to his taste, color-sense and Individuality. A char acterless scarf argues a common mind {; shabby one, pride of personality; a rich one, luxurious habits and frequent changes in crayats argue the dynamic, rather than the static, go-getter.
 There are two sorts of four-in- hand scarfs--the woven, made of broad or flat silk, and the knitted scarf, which employs the same process that is used in making hosiery, that is, series of interl0cked loops. You can obtain a greater range of colors and patterns

POETS STONE IN A PARK Beauty Of Minnehalia Enhanced By Sk
 Paul Mans Device.

Paul Mans Device.
 Minnehaha park has a poets stone which was dedicated to the beauty-loving public the other day.
 The stone is the invention of a St. Paul man, George Luther Burr.
 Excelling the old time prisms, the poets stone enables the dreamer, look ing. through it, to see lakes, hills, trees clouds, sunsets, night-lighted cities, mountains and valleys in their own shapes, but painted in such colors as artists dream. It has been so placed and pivoted at Minnehaha park as to enable visitors to see through it the waterfall, spray and nearby rocks.
 MT. Burr wrote, in connection with the poets stone, the legend of Pike's Peak, which, according to present tenta- i've plans, is to be perpetuated by the Daughters of Colorado in log cabin, on a mountain trail, with four poets stone windows.
 The cabin is to house the pictures and writing of Colorado writers, provide a porch with easy chairs for tourists and contain on one outer wall huge pie ture of the girl and flute player who figure in the legend.
 The legend tells of girl, the daughter of king, an earl who sought her hand, and an orphan flute player who found the poets stone, used to win her hand, and through his discovery enabled the gods to color the mountains.
 Mir. Burr recently offered secluded cabin in the St. Croix valley to any struggling artist or writer who sought seclusion and cheap living in order to concentrate on his work.-St. Paul Pi0- ueer Press, Aa

Carolyn Wilson, a war correspondent and free lance writer, is based on year and half's residence in the Far East.
 In comparing the average American business man in the Far East with the average English trade representative, Miss AVilson's comments are mostly in favor of the latter. "One of the great hinderances to the American business man in the Far East" the young woman asserted, 'has been the sort of wife he has selected to take to a foreign land.'
 "Too many American wives in cities in China and India spend their entire day in playing poker, bridge and Nah Tong and it is not an unusual thing for them to lose several hundred dollars in q single afternoon. How can any busi-

A wildly thrown ball, richocheting from a cast-iron col umn, took the door keeper on. the tenn i,le. An ambulance called for him, patrol wagon for his countryman. Fields, looking out cautiously from un- der a billiard table, whispered to Weber, who was beneath him, we've got it." Their famous pool table bur lesque had fallen plop into their laps.
 Within half an hour the boys had found 1-table pool room in the rear of half-basement saloon in an ob- scure side street, where, safe from pry- ing eyes, they called their first re hearsal of the new act The next morn ing before 9 o'clock the rehearsal was continued in the pool room at Miners, with only q porter and a dOzing bar

 And, as they did not return to harm Mir. Tunky again, Mir. Tunky never knew just where they had gone to, al- though he soon found out just what the giant had done, for the giant, after he had puffed the men so far, walked through the woods to Mir. Tunky's store.

 A week later the dress rehearsal was called in the single-table pool room. Up to now they had practiced their pre- tended violence softly, but here they lifted their German dialect voices and brawled hotly. As the riot in the Lack room waxed, the listening bar tender reached for q bung starter, ex- euged himself to his customers and burst into the room to find Lew throt- ting Joe. with such realism that the Ebarkeeper declared himself in and Fields barely escaped following the gallery doorkeeper to the hospital.

in woven crayats than in knitted, but the knitted scarf, because of it's give and-take mesh construction, is more flexible in tying and, hence, rebounds from creases sooner and lasts longer.
 The cravats sketched here are knit ted, showing slightly varying bold cross stripes of the same general type now in vogue. You should possess goodly supply of both woven and knitted scarfs-at least a couple of dozen in all. This enables you to choose your cravat to harmonize or contrast with different suits and shirts. You may even pick it to match your morning mood. It also obviates the necessity of wearing scarf so often that you and your friends get tired of it, for, be good enough to remember, that all eyes are upon your craVat.

THINGs were happening in Fair
 town.
 In spite of this, Lois Horton assured herself that one letter a week was all she need write to her sister. If she wrote oftener she might have to tell more than she cared to. When one wrote only once in seven days it was quite possible to touch lightly on affairs at home-to state that matters were progressing about as it was hard to make both ends meet i; that one varied the monotony of life by attending church and guild meetings. These items were enough to fill four pages of small note paper And one could asld athpF's condition. keeps me anxious-bu [ always am anxious about him, This was the truth, if not all the truth.
 If Lois were to write oftener she hardly could say the same things over and over. And there were bits of news she preferred not mentioning yet.
 One of these was that the Rev liar old Sumner was coming to the house with delightful regularity. The other was that James Horton was weaker < 1AettA AAc tAaN DtepA fttACA to New York.
 Once Lois had supposed that if her fathers condition were to become very serious she would want Marian to share the responsibility with her. She had told her sister as much.
 "n father should be worse l will let you know at Once," she had promised. { And Marian had insisted yehemently that she must keep this promise.
 But that was before Lois affair with the minister became as hopeful as it was now. He had told her that he cared for her, but that he must not say more-until he had given her time to know him better.
 He embellished this statement early one Sunday evening" when, as she sat in her fathers room while Mrs. Fisher took her supper, he, at the nurses sug- gestion, came upstairs.
 He tapped lightly at the open door of the room, then entered. 'I stopped by before going. to church," he ex- plained. Mrs. Fisher said that your father seems weaker and asked me to come up and see what thought of his appearance"

Has Bad Spells
 Of Temper

My married sister has . little
 girl, aged five, who starts in to
 howl in the most strenuous manner
 if she wants something that she
 cannot have. Then she stamps her
 feet and sprawIs on the floor,
 kicking and screaming, throwing
 anything that may be at hand,
 and literally tearing the clothes
 from her body. After few mo-
 Enents of this, if no attention Is
 paid te her, the storm subsides
 as suddenly as it came. Her
 parents and have treid to teach
 her with Kindness but without avail. In most cases her mother does not spank her but let's her
 have her own way. Her way of
 thinking b that the child Is nerv.
 0us and sick and that spanking
 would do more harm than good.
 I would appreciate it If you will
 give lne, your version of the mat
 ter. H. H. A NY city is full of competent M "A D.'s who can tell if the child i
 or if she hasany nervous disease Ask your sistersto 10 put the matter t . test, and if thesSlsild is carefully gon, over that will settle that part of th, argument.
 But from what y9h say, it appear that the child is nerely thorough. and conscientiouslly Spoiled. It woult be q poor doctor who would refuse t cut out a cancer on the ground tha 1t might hurt the patient; and parent who won't hurt their youngsters whel they richly deserve it are in the samt class.
 If a child has anything the mattei with 1t physically, of course it is go ing to be troublesome, one way OF an other. First of all, see that the physi cal machinery is running perfectly Then try letting thke young lady kicl and scream to her hearts content, with out paying the slightest attention t, her. If she still continues her bas habits, then you will have to use pun ishment of one kind qE another to breaI her of them.
 Of course it is the mothers faul that such habit has developed child is simply taking the line of leas resistance in getting what she wants Sometimes I wonder if the fond pa rents expect the child to come into fhi world with their ideas on how to be have fully developed.
 What is right and what isn't ar, both matters of experience-and if thu kicking and screaming performance gets neither social recognition nor thu object desired, it will soon be dropped from the little girls repertoire of parlol tricks.
