Shopping Hints.
PIN a Rose on Me. I"

That old sing-song refrain about
pinning "a rose on me" is still in eff
feet. Flowers are appearing on ladies'
shoulders, and so widespread has been
their use that they are almost staples
of dress, if they are not already. Buy
ing flowers to be worn on ones
shoulder day after day deserves con-
sideration. They can either make or
mar ones appearance in toto.
Flowers are not all suitable for all
sorts of cloths. For example nobody
would think of buying delicate
orchid for a sports dress. On sports
dresses one can economic by making
or buying flower made of the dress's
own material. 1t can be cleaned with
the dress, and it always goes well
with it," Flowers made of leather and
feathers are also good because they
may be easily detached and they are
unusually durable.
Afternoon dresses require a different
sort of flower. Chiffon and silk posies
are excellent choices for such dresses,
bat be sure to remember that the
colors must either match or har-
monte, the latter being preferable.
Flowers may be bought to wear with
several dresses, especially If one has
a favorite, but one for each costume is
desirable. A flower worn every day

and may even damage a gown. There
are special flowers made for evening

gold or metallic cloth, cloth f1ecked
with rhtnestones and so forth. Some
of these run up in price to appreciate

Beauty Chats
A New Complaint.

Last year / had a few compla ints
about chapped feet and legs, this year
| have dozens and dozens. Skirts are
shorter, and stockings are thinner, SO,
I suppose, more people suffer from
| chapped legs. And want to know
what to do about it!
The only thing is to treat the legs
| like the hands. If they chap, you
rub them with a lotion or a cream,
and that softens the skin and all is
we'll again. If your legs chap, wash
| them with lukeWarm water and an
| oily soap like CASTLE. Never use a
strong soap on the body during cold
weather; keep htsekin as oily as pos
sible or as is natural. Dry and then
rub in honey-almond lotion, glycerine
and rose water, or a good quality
vanishing cream.
Thee best way is to spread the
cream thickly on the palms of the
hands, and then rub the legs from the
| knees down, working the cream well
into the skin Rub until the skin has
taken it up. Rub over the insteps and
around the heels, for the heels chap
even in warm weather. and the best
way to keep them soft is to rub them
full of cream.
You must be sure your cream is
greaseless, otherwise either your stock
ings or your bedclothes will be STAIN
ed. Get a good quality, or the skin
will sting after it has been used.
Don't put on your stockings for some
minutes after you have used the
cream; it takes a little time for the
skin to absorb it.
If YOU do this whenever your legs
seem rough, you'll be saved lot OF
discomfort during the Winter. A
chapped skin, when exposed TO cola,
becomes dry and itchy and finally raw
and sore. You know what happens to
your hands or your lips; the same
thing. only worse, will happen to
vour legs. And, by the way, your
heels will look hard and ugly and the
skin become dirty and gray just
from shoe pressure; keep them SOFT
with cream, if this happens.
A M. R.-Dark circles about the
ewes come from some internal dis
order. and if they persist the doctor
should be consulted. A condition that
is temporary will often yield very
quickly if you rest or take tonic
and build yourself up.
Mrs. L. VI am glad the tonic IS
helping your hair. Massage the tat OH
under. your chin and after each time
YOU do this rub with small piece or
ice. An exercise for reducing the chin
is achieved by throwing the head far
back between the shoulders and then
go through a chewing motion until
YOU have fully exercised all the chin
and throat muscles.
Follow the exercise or massage with
ice or very cold water. You may be
too stout all over and a general re-
duction will imprve your figure, IN
which case your abdomen will not be
so full, neither will your feet be so
broad as they are now.

The Double Meaning.

turn the most harmless and innocent
| remark into a bit of spicy gossip.
Her mind runs to only one type
| of joke and she contrives to make
| the most innocuous story sound like
an anecdote from one of the raciest
| French magazines.
This unusual talent of hers en-
! dears her to those boys and girls who
are rather keen about being modern
and daring. But it gives her a fear
| fully black eye with the people she
meets for the first time-and often
| these happen to be the folks she
wants to impress favorably.

CHAPTER X.
Peggy Has Dinner With Mark.

Mark could not help being amused
at Peggy's eagerness to please, her
willingness to listen, her wish to be
Sophisticated, when in reality she was
only little girl.
She rested her elbows on the table
and looked at him with wide blue
eyes. She was playing a new role
which fascinated her, but she wasn't
deceiving Mark Burton in the least.
He had asked her to dinner for
purpose. His idea was to sound her
him that Peggy was her closest
friend. Therefore Peggy ought to
know a great deal about this affair
between Jessica and young Townley.
He piled her with the most expen-
sive dishes. He had even given her
a discreet cocktail which delighted
her.
Mr.. Burton was certainly a good
sort. She was really crazy about him.
He was so distinguished. And the
walters were apparently very mucn
impressed with him. How had she
ever managed to capture his INTEREST,"
She wondered if she ought to try to
vamp him q little But then he was
so much older than the men she was
accustomed to knowing that he left
her at a loss. She had decided that
for the present she must adopt
listening, adoring attitude. She had
done that the first night and had been
successful.
When she had arrived at the point
where she welcomed eagerly her
peach Melba, Mark said lightly:
Tell me about Bunny. You know
/ haven't seen her in 10 years, and
it's not easy to say to her suddenly.
Tell me about yourself and every
thing you've been doing since l saw
you last You know how it is your
self; one instantly on the defen-
Slve.'
She To- ed the way he took for
granted hat his ideas would be hers.
1t made .er long TO be eloquent. Then,
too. his use of the name Bunny was
disarming. If he had said Jessica
she might have thought he was Sc
rious.
"Oh, Bunny is adorable" she began
eagerly; she's the most popular girl
in our crowd. And then she's SO clev-
err: she's always thinking of cute
things to do, and her remarks are 30
funny"

One of the simplest and most effec-
tive cleansing agents for certain ar
ticles and certain spots is a mixture
Of salt and gasoline 1t is boon to
the women who prefer to do their own
cleansing. as well as to those who can
not well get to cleansing shops, nor
spare the articles or the requisite time
for them to be cleaned at such estab-
EShmentS.
The proportions Of ingredients are
two tablespoons of gasoline and one
tablespoon of salt. Mix them to a
paste, and as the gasoline evaporates
add more to keep the paste of uniform
consistency.
Apply the paste with a small brush
rubbing it well in, but not vigorously,

as gasoline is infiammable. Use a
circular motion and continue to rub
until the salt is we'll distributed over
the surface. Let the salt remain I'M
til the gasoline entirely evaporates,
leaving the place absolutely dry. Then
brush off the salt. With it comes the
dirt and grease.
This mixture is like a magic cleanser
for some articles. 1t works like a
charm. for instance, on felt hats. Now
that there is such vogue for these
hats, this agent is welcome. 1t does
not take long to restore a soiled felt
hat to it's original pristine cleanliness.
Not only does dirt disappear, but u.s.

unless the color of the felt has been
actually changed.
