Clues to Character
Spiritual Nature.
BY j. q. ABERNETHY.

If YOU feel guilty when you fail to
attend religious services: if that lin.
ner self urges you to the house of
worship when you hear the church
bells ring, then you have the facul-
ties of reverence and hope we'll de-
veloped.
A normal development of this COM
bination of faculties produces nat
urally sincere character, inclined to
sentiment, with strong convictions of
what is right or wrong and an abid-
ing faith in the just dispensation of a
Divine Providence.
Those in whom these signs are large
usually are active in the various re-
ligious organizations and reform move
ments conducted by the churches.
They are earnest advocates of eccle.
siastical matters and preferences.
Those in whom these faculties are
weak evince little interest in estab-
lished religion or it's authorities and
are rebellious against all established
customs Which do not appeal directly
to their tastes and desires.
If there is a fullness on each side
of the forehead, beginning at the hair
line and extending backward about
three -fourths of the distance to the
crown Of the head, the spiritual ma
ture is well developed.

You must remember that though the

cial part around the shoulder blades
is not; frequently dark wooden cloth
ing rubs against it all day long, rub
bling in a certain amount of dye and
dust. If this is not properly washed
out each day, blackheads are bound to
result.
The treatment is easy enough, If the
skin is muddy or full of large pores

with any good, mild soap and scrub
and scrub. Rinse with hot water, and
when you dry yourself, take the towel
by each end, and pull it vigorously
back and forth over the shoulder
blades. This makes the skin glow and
it also stimulates the pores to throw
off any foreign matter in the pores.
No matter how bad the skin has
been. a few weeks of this treatment
will clear 1t. 1t will more than pay
you for the trouble.

The elimination of wearing apparel
that has already done good duty. and
Wn1ch would seem to have more wear

modelling good stuff is one thing
while trying to get more wear from
an article than it warrants is quite an
other. Many home dressmakers do
not sufficiently distinguish between
these two things. 1t takes long
thought and careful manipulation to
cut over old garments to bring them
up TO date and avoid all the worn

not alter the fact that the higher
numbers give the advance styles.
About the Flare.
In Paris there seems to be no
lengthening of skirts. and in London
skirts are shorter than ever. Two
factors are noticeable in skirts. and
these are Numerically opposite. The
flare is strong. but so also is the
straight line. Some coutourieres are
reverting to straight lines because of
the very prevalence of the fuller
skirt. asserting that there is more
distinction now to be had in the
straight than the full lines. 1t is
well TO remember this when remodel
ing frocks, and suit the style to the
