Young Mothers Beauty.

Dear Miss Leeds: 1 am Is years
old, S feet inches tall and weigh ia
pounds. AS / have a family and do
all my own homework, / have got
behind times as to looks and clothes.
Is II too late to think OF these things
now? 1 am in good health, but my
hair is dull and my complexion Is
married by enlarged pores, blackheads
and roughness. I have dark brown
hair and brown eyes. How can I'M
prove my appearance? / have been
so busy bringing up a family that
forget that looks mean lot, and the
children also seem to want their
mother to look better. What colors
should wear? have a rather large
nose. What sort OF bob should wear
and what style Of hat?
Answer-Of course, II Is not too
late to improve your appearance. my
dear. Having g. family to care for
makes you think you are old, but
really you are just girl. If you, will
give as little as half an hour q day to
cultivating your beauty, you can
make yourself over in few months.
At bedtime brush your hair well for
10 minutes and massage your scalp.
This will take away the dull look.
Cleanse your face first with cold
cream, wipe it of and then wash 1t
with warm water and pure CASTLE
soap. Rinse thoroughly in warm
water, then in cold. Dry we'll. Now
pat on an astringent lotion TO close
the pores. Once a week you may
give your complexion a steaming and
massage treatment to removo the
blackheads In the morning massage
and brush your hair for a few min.
utes, wash your face in cold water,
dry, pat on an astringent powder base
and powder. Take tepid or cold
sponge bath, followed by a hard rub
down with a coarse, dry towel. This
will improve your complexion and
make you feel full of life. Please send
a stamped. self-addressed envelope for
my leaflets on THE Daily Beauty Pro-

Vaccination Scars.

Dear Miss Leeds: High up on my
right arm Is an ugly vaccination scar,
of which / am very conscious when in
evening dress. Can you suggest some
remedy? I am also troubled by hairs
on my forearms. ! shave them OF,
but they grow in thicker Do you
approve Of the use Of depilatories for
this purpose? BEE.
Answer-When you wear sleeve"
less frock you may cover the scar
with theatrical grease paint In a flesh
color and then powder the arm. This
Is the most practical way to handle
the blemish. OF course. IL you wish,
you may have plastic surgeon graft
normal skin from another part or
your body on the scar. but do not
think this would really be necessary.
A great many girls have these vacci-
nation scars and conceal them with
makeup. You might wear tulle
scarf around your shoulders and that
would hide the mark. The use or
either razor or depilatory makes the
hairs grow In thicker. OF the two
methods / would prefer the latter for
the arms. It is a good plan to bleach
the unwanted hairs with peroxide, so
that they need not be taken off.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Friday, April s.


Astrologers read tomorrow as an
unimportant day in planetary direc-
ton. 1t is a time for systematizing
ones affairs and relaxing effort.
There is sign giving promise Of
a revival of spiritual interest among
the people and new cults will flourish.
Churches will disagree seriously
and there will be schisms, the seers
prophesy, and yet unity viii gradually
be attained among man denomina-
tions.
Women now come under an influ-
ence supposed to encourage all the
housewifely virtues. Nursing viii be
studied with new interest.
Food values will be Of unusual in
terest. because prices are to rise APP
probably.
Young folks are subject to the best
direction Of the stars at this time,
when many leaders Of the future are
in training.
Within a decade, most of the men
and women who have enjoyed fame
in this century will pass on and their
places win be taken by those now pre-
pairing for great esponsibilities-
Women who have been proving
their ability to take the places of men
in the worlds work are to turn again
to their own field, if the stars are
rightly interpreted. for there will be
tasks for them which men cannot
assume.
Beauty is to become a commonplace
in this country, where the supreme
Towering of the Caucasian race is TO
be achieved.
Persons whose birth date it Is have
the augury Of a quiet year, in which
much may be accomplished.
Children born on that day are likely
to be home loving and affectionate.
They should be sturdy of character
and alert of brain.

BY the COUNSELLOR,

After much bargaining, Thomas
Walker. aged 20, agreed to pay John
West SIPS for an automobile. West
agreed to deliver the car the next day
and gave Walker receipt for his So
deposit. Instead of getting the car,
Walker received call from West,
who. regretting the sale. told him that
he had decided not 10 sell the car and
was mailing back the deposit OF $25.
Walker replied that ne would not

have a record OF precious memories
and q system of wise living as well as
characteristics to leave their children.
Such inheritances are priceless. They
are pillars of strength to the children
all their lives.
Point of View.
1t is a great mistake for parents to
believe that, because they have not
large sums to bequeath to their chill
dren, they have nothing to leave them.
The JOY of giving good things, both
tangible and intangible, is supreme
happiness. There is pleasure and sat
isfaction in leaving children money,
but do not overlook the intangible
inheritance that falls to them. We
can make it store Of treasures, if
we will

GREATEST ASSET.
something that parents cannot resist
leaving to their children, whether by
their own wish and will or not. It is
for the older generation to see that
the inevitable and intangible requests
are as valuable as 1t is possible to
make them. Those who have never
thought of inheritances as anything
but monetary matters and voluntary
affairs should consider with equal
care their intangible and involuntary
requests.
Delight to Parents.
one OF the delights of the inv0lun.
taIy inheritances is that parents can
watch their children come into full
possession of them. That is, traits of
character develop that can be easily
traced to one parent or the other.
Abilities and talents are generally the
fulfllment of family tendencies as
shown in some member, perhaps in
father or mother, perhaps in grand
father or grandmother, perhaps only
traceable through earlier generations.
Unlike monetary Inheritance, the in
tangible is often Of far longer accu.
mutation. It is called heredity and is
a very genuine Inheritance.
Important Matter.
Unless parents strive to cultivate
the best that is within themselves,
they pass along to children inclina.
lions toward undesirable Characters
tics. Then the intangible inheritances
are on the loss side Of the human
ledger instead OF on the profit side.
Many a young person finds himself
tor HERSELF hampered instead Of

and not an asset. There is serious
aspect to such a consideration that
appalls.
Two Inheritances.
The two inheritances may both come

have wealth, they have it in their
power to bequeath it to their heirs.
But besides the written wish and will
there is the other bequest. IF parents
