She is we'll groomed, her hair is soft
and glossy and well arranged because
she has everything in the way Of

and the choice of a hundred STYLES of

effect. Her skin is smooth because
she knows something about proper
dletlng, does not over-eat, nor indulge
IN indlSestible food as she might have
a generation ago. She knows some
thing about cosmetics, too, and what

skin, or superfluous hairs. If she is

tace the least touch of color Every
body does 1t nowadays, and the wom-
an who uses rouge is no longer an
abandoned creature
She knows something about dress.
too, this modern well groomed woman.
She has a freedom of choice that she
never had before, not only as to detail
or styles, but as to essentials In
the days of crinolines there was little
variation. The art of becoming beau

Numbering and Filing of Letters
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER

but have a very short time In Whlch
to do many things besides this par
ticular one and could have 1t IN your
heart to wish you had made some
kindly excuse until such time as the
reader had the letters correctly sorted
If you are the one who is making
the gracious offer to share the news
or the amusing and interesting DTS
from the letters you are scarcely any
better off. In the haste to get the mis-
sives Strengthened out you usually
overlook the particular letter you
were most desirous of reading. If
postmarks are the sole method of
distinguishing dates and thereby
knowing which comes first and which
later, you certainly are at disadvan-
tage, for many times these distin-
gushing marks are very faint, II not
indeed entirely obliterated.
Usually. running comments are
made to try to hide the futile efforts
to bring order out of chaos. 1t is not
possible, however, to keep up a really
interesting conversation under such
adverse circumstances. The result IS
apt to be passing comments that
amount to nothing and do not even
hold the attention of the person wait
ing for theIletters to be read.
Number Letters.
Fortunately there Is one real solu-
ton TO this annoying situation. 1t Is
one that should be followed by every
person who has letters that are worth
reading aloud to friends. Number the
letters,
File i'm Sequence.
There are two ways of doing this.
One is to number the envelopes and
l. ha lott fol, in hon
except when they are perused. The
most efficient method, however, is to
have looSeleaf covers between which
the letters are kept unfolded as we'll
as numbered. This saves the paper
from tearing in creaSeS and folds and
makes it very easy TO read the pages.
Transparent adhesive tape comes
that can be pasted down the edges
of pages where the writing is too
close to them to be legible when in
the faSteningS of the covers. Circular
protectors to go about holes in the
sheets for the fasteners to go through
spare paper still further.
Mark or Erase Portions.
Parts of letters that are so personal
that they are of little interest to any
but the recipient should be put in
parentheses, so that the reading may
proceed conSecutively and not with
little gasps of "Oh, yes, UNI, um, um,
nothing that would interest you. just
some personal matters"-which piques
the curiosity of any listener. If there
is anything in the letter that should
be seen by the person receiving it and
no one else without betraying the
confititidence of the writer, the letter
should be left out of the file, the part
cut out or X-ed out, one or the other
for there is always a possibility Of
another's unintentionally seeing it.

My Neighbor Says:
After using kerosene O

After using kerosene oil to
clean the enamel bathtub or
woodwork, rub with clean fan
mel wrung out in hot water.
Grease your jelly mold with
butter before putting jelly in 1t.
When ready to take out, plunge
the mold into hot water and re-
move at once. Jelly treated in
this way will turn out without
any trouble.
1t is not generally known that
a slice of lemon put into the
boiler when boiling clothes will
make them beautifully white and
take all the stains out Of pocket
handkerchiefs and children's
aprons and dresses. Cut the
lemon with the rind into slices,
and let it remain in the boiler
till the clothes are ready to
come out.
To keep white silk stockings,
blouses, etc, from turning yel-
low in laundering, use a little
alcohol in the rinse water.
Lemon juice applied to brown
or tan shoes will remove stains.
Rub it well into the leather,
then apply brown polish. and
all stains quickly disappear.
Tumblers that have contained
milk should be rinsed in cold
water before being washed in
warm. Putting the milky glass
into hot water will have the ef-
feet of clouding it permanently.
