BEAUTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES

the wind blows it-she has 1t neatly
shingled and unruly locks cut off.
No woman goes out with rough look
ing hands. She uses bleach under the
nails she takes of dead cuticle with
special lotions that come for this, and
she makes the nail rims smooth with a
good cream afterward. She polishes
the nails until they glisten attractively
She never allows a stain to stay on
them; there are too many good bleaches
to be had from the lemon In the
kitchen TO the expensive bottled things
in shops. Each detail Of her appear
ance is thought of when the woman
of today dresses.
M. j. M.-Massage with a nourishing
cream to help fatten your face. If you
can stand more weight all over, build
this up and your face will be filled out.
E. G.-You are mistaken about
henna shampoo changing the color of
your hair, and I am suggesting you
try this way of Frightening the shade
Of your red brown hair when 1t gets dull
over the Winter months If you prefer
soda though, it should be bicarbonate of
soda and only enough to make the final
rinse feel very soft when you run your
fingers through it.
Mae-f you have your lashes dyed
it should be done by an expert as you
could not handle 1t yourself or even
trust it to another who may not be
skilled.

New Clothes.

All children like new clothes. Few
children can wear them unconSciously
Dressed in new coat, shoes, hat and
gloves, every movement is Self-conscious
and awkward.
When a child goes to visit at a
strange house he is not at his best
He is out of his element and always
that means strain. With many chill
dren it means fear. They hide their
fear under smirks and wiggleS and
poSturings. Or they hide it under
frowns and sulks and resentment ex-
pressed in kicking the table legs or
refusalS of proffered courtesies.
1t often happens that the new clothes
add to this uneaSiness. The sleeves Of
the new coat are bit too long. They
won't be in day or so when the arms
have shaped the sleeves, when the little
wrinkles are set in the right places.
And the neck scratches. A little ruch-
ing of silk, an easy neckchief will make
that all right in day or two.
New shoes are deadful weights on
ones spirit They make strange noises.
They don't obey the feet that wear
them, but clump down all unbidden and
stay down long after they ought to be
moving. They nip in unexpected
places and make one suffer in all 10
toes. Tired feet incite bad humor.
It is right to take children to pay
visits to their friends and relatives
1t is highly important that they be well
dressed. But 1t is essential to the sue
cess Of the visit that the children be
comfortably dressed.
Always allow them to break in the
new clothes at home. Let the new
shoes be worn in the house for a time
so they are set to the feet without
pain. and if any trouble appears. it
can be remedied at once without cost
to the children. Let the new coat or
the new dress be worn little while
again and again, to allow the wearer to
get the feel Of it, to let all its char
acteriSticS become familiar.
These may seem little things to trou-
BILE about, but they are not little things
to the children-ror to the grown-ups
when trouble rises out of them. I have
seen a child in Mysteries brought On by
having to wear a hat that bound his
temples like an iron band. Nobody
knew what was the trouble. He went
into violent tantrum, throwing his hat
to the floor and stamping upon it. His
father, righteously indignant at such

Everyday Law Cases
What Weight Does Testimony OF
Private Detectives Haue In
DiUOrce Cases?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

In the divorce case of Jones VS..
Jones, the principal witness was pri-
vate detective, who testified that he
had followed Mr.. Jones for several
days, and had witnessed acts of inf
deity on the part of Mr.. Jones.
The corroborating testimony was
vague and dealt mainly with the alb
sences of Mr.. Jones from his home. 1t
was upon the evidence of the detective
that Mrs. Jones relied to secure a
divorce.
The court dismissed Mrs. Jones suit,
explaining:
when a private. detective seeks to
establish by his own testimony facts
upon which a decree of divorce is
sought, the courts are prompted to
view such evidence with suspicion and
to exercise the judicial conscience as
to the weight of such testimony. The
testimony should be scrutinized with
great care, and ordinarily the courts
require some corroboration.
THE general rule is to regard the
uncorroborated testimony of private
detectives as insufficient to break up
the marriage ties"

Steam fruit puddings in baking

ing. These puddings will keep
for some time.
The best dishcloths are made
