BEAUTY TALKS
sy DR. LILLIAN WHITNEY sPalIor Of the Face

Many letters come to me from young girls asking how they can overcome p..leness,s that. they are healthy and should have some natural color.
 E Noticeable paleness of the face rarely exists in perfectly healthy young people. There is type of natural pallor, just as there is a nat urally florid type But it usually is seen in those possessing a creamy, ivory skinX with glowing eyes, bur nished hair eand healthy red lips. This type is very beautiful.
 Pallor of the face in apparently healthy girls, is caused by lack of fresh air oxygeh--and monotonous diet. If you have ever visited a prison and observed the convicts you could not fail to see that they are noticeably pale, due to the confinement---lack of fresh air-and the monotonous prison diet. ,.s =.
 In order to cultivate, z a a fresh skin, one must bgeathe deeply. and con scious1y of fresh air one must exer- else the lungs; the room in which one lives and sleeps must be thoroughly ventilated day and night. Many girls, to my knowledge, sleep in tightly closed rooms. Air and more air is needed to redden the blood and put life inte the skin.
 By moffUtonous diet mean par taking .ofnthe same kind of food day in and day out-coffee, bread and meat; mo. green vegetables, no fruits,

| little milk and so on. If you want color you must forego such foods as are calculated to give you pasty skin and must eat food rich in minerals. All green vegetables are good; car rots are exceptionally fine. Remember the late Sarah Bernhardt ate carrots daily, raw in salad, or steamed as vegetable. Never throw away the water in which these vegetables are cooked, as it contains the minerals 50 needful for your purpose.
 Often in noticeable paleness the skin is dull and listless, requiring stimula- tion. This is readily achieved by slap ping, tapping and batting the face for ten minutes night and morning with a cloth wrung out of ice cold water. You will be delighted to observe the lovely color suffusing your cheeks after ten minutes of this treatment. Under such stimulation the local circulation is tremendously heightened, the toneless tissues are whipped up and put forth their best efforts. In three months with this local drive, purposefuL fresh air breathing, varied .sllft of mineral foods, a surprising improvement is af- l feGted- < 6
 Meanwhile, to give Temporary color l to the cheeks, the following formula is good and harmless: .% 3ts
 Liquid ammonia. v. i dram Glycerine. ............ .....3 ounces. Rose water .,.. i. ..a.....4 ounces
 Rub this lotion into the skin briskly. If you have time; practice deep breathing exercises systematically and take long walks in the open jar.

DOMESTIC DAYS

' Il know you never do anything to N encourage our children in their ar I tistic ambitions began Mrs. Jarr. N And though don't mind it, so much 3 that you don't encourage them I mind N 1t very much the way you talk. Some N day you'll be making remarks of that \ kind and get into lot of trouble, be- N cause some people are sensitive about ' such things and, anyway, art and K music is culture, and even fit weren't N you've no right to talk that way"
 Mir. Jarr gazed at his wife in sur prise but said nothing- ,, I'm speaking about our children studying French and art and music and l said it plain enough!' snapped { Mrs. Jarr. If you only would have artistic is something dreadful. I've the artistic people you ever met were weird nuisances who scoffeG at decent people as 'smug bourgeoisie' and always trying to borrow. money and run up bills" And to those exalted. sentiments I do still steadfastily subscribe myself," said Mir. Jarr. There may sbe excep- ti0ns to the rule,s but F. haven't met \ them; unsuccesemni art saFtists, SO to speak, are grafters and bores, and the successful ones are so c0nceited that they make me sick!' 'Oh, I know a lot of artistic, people who are lovely" retorted Mrs., Jarr, ''so that proves you all wrong i; and furthermore, if our. Willie has any talent he shall study artaifsh wishes to-"

 Emma, come and play your new exercises for, your paps!'s.~ she then called.
 II don't wanna! '" protested the lit tie girl. .. s;z
 Mrs. Jarr picked up. the child from the floor where she had been playing with her dolls, and sat 9her on the piano stool. You play when your mother tells you to r, she commanded.
 But the little girl comnienced to cry as if her heart would break and put her little hands behind her and when Mrs. Jarr endeavored toS pull. her hands over the keys, little Emma slipped off the piano stool and onto tie floor and began to squeal and kick.
 'There now!" exclaimed Mrs. Jarr, turning to her husband, T hope you are satisfied The children hear how you talk about art and music and have to say this for little Emma, she isn't bold and pert and always show ing off like your sisters little girl, and I'm not going to force her in her music, either. But if she isn't going to play better than your eister's little girl I'll know the reason Eiav.

FOR MOTHERS
By EMILE HOFFMAN


 Little two-year-old Billy went off into wild paroxysm of crying be- cause daddy had knocked down his tower of blocks and the irate father promptly administered what he con- sidered a good lesson for "spunk." What would that father have done if he had accomplished a task and his son had come along and demolished his achievement? And yet this tower meant much to this two-year-old. He had labored long and was justly proud of, his accomplishment Was it right for the parent to destroy the work!
 A little girl was heartbroken because mother had thrown her picture into the stove. True the papers Uttered up the room, but the child had labored in- dustriously ,to cut out these pictures and they meant much to her.
 It is to be regretted that so many parents fail to respect their children s rights, A mother will admonish her child to regard the property rights of others and she herself is absolutely needless about destroying the belong ings of the child. The scrawlings of the three-year-old are only scraps of paper to you but they are real letters to the child. so why destroy them with out permission?

Rice Throwirrg Began Many Hundreds
 Of Years Ago

The custom of deluging brides and bridegrooms with rice is supposed to- have originated in China.
 About 1500, B. c. in the province of Shansi there lived a sorcerer called Chao. A man named Fang, who was going to be married, is said to have consulted the oracle as to the possible Success of his venture. Chao informed him he would die in six days. 2 Dissatisfied, he consulted sorcer- ess named Peachblossom, but obtained the same reply. Peachblossom, young and beautiful, but antagonistic to Chao, and Knowing his verdict, prom ised to avert the catastrophe by charms.
 On the seventh day after his consul tation with P'ang, Chao was sur prised to find P'ang walking about, says Tit-Bits. Recognizing the extent 'of Peachblossom's power, he deter mined to destroy her. He visited her parents and pretended to seek her in mar riage for his son, and by generous of fers obtained their consent.
 Marriage cards were exchanged, and Chao chose for the wedding day the unlucky day when the Golden Pheas- ant was in the ascendant. His idea was that as the bride entered the red nuptial chair the spirit bird would destroy her.
 >But Peachblossom knew all these things and determined to defeat Chao. She ordered rice to be thrown out of doors, which the spirit bird made haste to deyour. While his attention was sthus engaged. Peachbfossom' stepped into the bridal chair and passed on her way unscathed to marry the son, whom she really loved. s Thus, we throw rice at weddings in the hope that it may be effectual in warding off the attacks of the Golden Pheasant! In other words, it is an expression of our good wishes to the happy pair and the hope that good fortune may follow them.
