AS you have such a sensitive skin
you should not use any cosmetics at
your age. Continue to use fine cas-

take a full warm bath all over every
day; with a good digestion, enough

SOURCE-A locality.

Perhaps you have wondered about
this family name. 1t Is misleading.
In spite OF yourself you keep associ-
ating 1t in your mind with the word
pink" but 1t has no connection with
this word at all.
Again, 1t Is a natural, but as 1t hap
pens. erroneous, assumption that the
ending. ton recalls it as one of
those purely Anglo.Saxon place names
compounded of the word which has
given us our modern word town" and
which Is to be found in the ending of
so many English place names.
The name, however, is a splendid ex-
ample Of the way in which a name
developed in one language can be in
fluenced entirely out Of its original
form by another tongue.
The original form of this family
name was DE Pontcardon," Pontcar-
don being place name in Normandy.
II was, of course. first borne by men
probably in the ranks of the Conquer
or's army, who came from that To-
cality But in the course of time its
pronunciation was a bit slurred. and
men. forgetting that it was French
name, began to spell 1t as 1t was pro
nounced. Hence Pinkerton.

The planetary aspects of today are

not definitely adverse, the vibrations
are sluggish and inspire doubt and
create misgiVingS. Under such con-
ditions 1t Is not advisable to do any
thing of dastic nature or to make
any resolutions of farreaching impor-
lance. The ordinary routine and Gus
tomary duties of everyday life must
be adhered to as closely as possible,
and there should be no straying into
unknown or uneXplored paths.
While there will be little temptation
experienced to exercise or find fault
with others. there will be sensed a
strong feeling of self dissatisfaction,
which, If not strenuously curbed. may
develop into an unhealthy pessimism.

to assume that your intimates are apt

Souvenirs.
AS has already been suggested,

table and give a festive look to the
board. The exquisite daintiness Of
some is what makes them appeal. Also
occasion. After forsaking the dinner
table they frequently are so attrac-
tive as to linger for days and weeks
on the dressing table or in the boudoir
mirror of an admiring guest.
As Entertainment.
Place cards besides their usefulness
and decorative value have another
function, with which you are perhaps
less we'll acquainted. They may form
part of the entertainment which the
hostess has planned. A series of ques-
tions, the answers of which are to be
guessed, may be written on the back.
The following are some of the Ques-
tionS, the answers to which await
your request upon receipt of self
addressed and stamped envelope.
These answers are not printed now,
since a prospective guest might see
and read, spelling the fun. Please send
separately for ships and answers.
Requests on post cards cannot re-
ceive answers, but all separate re-
quests will be gladly answered with
out any charge for designs or quiz re-
plies. The following questions are
suggested to be written on the backs
of the cards:
/. What fowl is a fIapper?
.. What fowl is a country?
8. What fowl Is a foreign coin?
4. What fowl is a piece of cloth?
5. What fowl is a spy in the un-

Interesting Cards.
That place cards be elaborate is not
necessary, especially If the dinner Is
one to which formal invitations were
not issued. One Of the things which
make place cards adaptable to simple
and formal occasions IS that they can
