S. We put things off because we are
born lazy. Not all of us are equally
lazy. We are only as lazy as we
dare to be, as the necessity of earn
ing a living and the urge of ambi-
tion permit US to enjoy. There are
certain fundamental human desires
which cure us of laziness. 1t is more
pleasant to work than to starve.
Nevertheless we do even the neces-
1aary things rather reluctantly because
OF sheer innate laziness.
s The thing we put off is usually
something we dislike to do. Con-
sciously or unconsciously we keep
hoping against hope that something
or other will turn up to relieve us
of the necessity. That is why it is
80 easy to think up a thousand and
one other things to do, such as filing
! our nails, reading the morning paper,
-etc., when all the while we know we
should be doing the thing we are
avoiding.

he just can't let it go. He is afraid
It may not be as good as it should be.
4 In short, we put things off because
of Unborn laziness or because we really
do not want to do the thing at all
or because we lack confidence in our
ability.
Putting things off is such common
ailment that perhaps a few practical
suggestions will not be out of place.
LaZiness may be overcome by proper
habits of work. Have set time for
each specific task. Think, up a lot
of good reasons why the thing should

days after I pull the hairs, small black
dots appear where the hairs are grow
ing in again. What can l do for this?
"a What causes beads of perspiration
to come from pores and what can be
done to eliminate them?
MISS WONDERING.
Answer--(D Undiluted lemon juice
is too strong and irritates the skin,
causing pimples. as you have dfscov-
cred. You may make a harmless
lemon bleach by mixing one teaspoon
full of strained lemon juice, one ounce
rose-water and one-quarter ounce
glycerin. (2) You forgot to- state your
age, but If you are 20 years old your
ideal weight Is between 128 and 1870
pounds. 90 You may apply a powder
base and powder heavily over the
black dots until the hairs are long
enough to pluck out again or you may
have the unwanted hairs permanently
removed by electrolysis. (N Some Of
the so-called pores are sweat glands
and some are oil glands. 1t Is their
function to pour their secretions out
on the surface Of the skin. When
their activity Is too great, however, an
astringent lotion may be applied to
reduce them. My leaf1et on Care of

even though he may accede and get
the things limited for. Or the sug.
gestion may prove annoying, and a
man with hasty temper may let the
matter drop and the wife get nothing.
| In either case there is the loophole
| for the man to have his feelings hurt.
This Is not a very good encourage
ment for future attempts at gift
making.
Unwise Policy.
It is surprising how many wives
bar themselves from the attentions
they crave from the man they adore
Just because of an Indifferent attitude
or one that has in 1t the lurking idea
that another gift or another attention
would be more to their liking.
/ have known of wives who could
with such graceful tact accept gifts
that they really didn't want that their
husbands found such genuine pleasure
in the giving 1t encouraged them to
continue. Later on the wives got
many of their real wishes gratified be-
cause of the many things. little and
big, that they received. Among them
came the wanted articles. And they
always were really glad of whatever
came to them because of the delight
they had in having the husbands
gracious attentlonS.
Scruples.
There are wives who feel heSitant to
accept just the things their husbands
suggest giving them because of the
money that this would involve. If
husband spends money too lavishly,
the wife feels that she must be a re-
strainihg power lest their income go
in unwise ways. And so she advises
against his giving her presents for
very laudable reasons. However,
when a man is by nature lavish
spender very little saving results
from such a course on the part of the
wife The money may go for things
of even less real worth.
When wife finds her husband in
clined to be too generous to her. she
must either accept graciously or else
arouse his interest in some project
into which he will put the money with
just as much pleasure as into the gift
she would dearly love to get but which
she knows he cannot afford. 1t may
be that the money can be put into a
home building plan. Perhaps he will
like to have this house be gift to
her. She must be sure to express the
happiness she feels when each pay
ment goes into the house. Or it may
be some improvements in house that
both want that can be the avenue for
the money. or a travelling fund for
some time ahead.
Travel.
Reading about the places they wish
to visit and making plans and finding
out best places to stay and how to
spend the money and get the most
out of it can prove of interest. per-
haps of absorbing interest. Each sum
of money put into such plan is like
a gift to her and can be received as
such with the appreciation due the
giving.
If the wife says II really don't need
it" when her husband suggests giving
her something he feels he would enjoy
her having, she is blocking the way of
his expressing his love for her in his
own way. If at last he let's her get
things herself and omits such atten-
tions as giving her presents, she will
miss the attention, and she has no one
to blame but herself. To accept gra.
ciously is one of the arts of life.

Dear Miss Leeds: l have long hair

true that bobbed hair is going out OF

your advice? UNDECIDED.
Answer.--Although some women
will undoubtedly continue to wear
bobbed hair for the next few years
the long-heralded reaction toward long
hair seems to have arrived l do not
advise you to bob. since it will take
about six months for your hair to
