Use Of Astringents.
Dear Miss Leeds: How often should
an astringent lotion be applied to the
face? Should it be put on before GO
ing to bed and left on overnight?
HELEN.
Answer-The answer to your question
depends on what type of skin you have.
A coarse, oily skin may need astringent
applications several times day before
makeup Is put on or renewed. The
only time to apply an astringent is
after the skin has been thoroughly
cleanSed. This Is usually at bedtime.
The astringent lotion is patted on and
allowed to dry. It is LETT on overnight
If the skin is oily it may be washed
with cold water in the morning. dried
and an astringent applied before the
powder base and powder. If the pow
der needs to be renewed during the day.
rub in some cold cream and then wipe
off the cream and powder with a clean
piece of absorbent cotton moistened in
the astringent before putting on new
makeup. LOIS LEEDS.

tain disadvantages during the cooler
months. It must be made OF fairly
light material, and it does not well
Withstand the effects Of rainy, damp
weather. AS an adjunct to the slip-on
or tuck-in sweater 1t Is at this time OF
the year a rather poor choice.
For the youthful dance frock 1t Is
charming, and II I were to choose q
type of frock that would almost surely
find favor with every young girl know
it would be a simple chiffon gown with
a skirt of this description. The sketch
shows precisely the sort OF frocE l
still not too high. The bodice Is ex-
tremely simple, with q moderate decol-
letage, and the only trimming about
the frock is q large red velvet rose at
the right side. The new flaming red Is
the color I would select, because this,
like the sunburst pleated skirt, de-
mands youthfulness.
/ overheard woman say: "AH my
new dresses are made with much longer
skirts. Short skirts, Of course, are en-"
tirely out of fashion" And yet three
or four months ago this same young
woman wore her own skirts above her
knees and looked with contempt on
women who wore them longer.
It is with skirts as It has so often
been with hair. The woman with bob
looked with a species Of pity on all her
Congratulated friendS-until the pSy-
Geological moment arrived when she
decided to let her own hair grow. AND
then she was ready to assert that short
hair was entirely out of fashion.
But there really has been nothing at
all sudden in the return to favor OF
longer hair and longer skirts. Some
women of fashion still wisely retain the
bob, and there are some women who
may wisely retain the fairly short skirt
for sports and street wear, so long as
they may do so without making them
selves conspicuous. And, after all, the
really long skirt is worn only for eve
ming and formal afternoon occasions.
Other skirts, in spite Of their added
inch or two, are still, relatively speak
ing, decidedly short.

maker consists Of q diagram pattern

Reducing the Hips.

Dear Miss Leeds: I am II years old.
64la inches tall and weigh lit pounds.
My hips are 80 inches. How can I re-
duce my hips? AMARYLLIS.
Answer-Since you are several pounds
below the average weight for your age
and height, judge that the Wilderness
of your hips is largely due to their
honey structure, which, Of course, can
not be changed. Your bust measure is
very small, and this makes your hips
seem larger than they are. You may
do special exercises for reducing the ex-
cess fat on your hips. Stand about 18
inches away from table with the right
side of your body toward it. Bend your
right knee and raise your leg sidewise
until your knee rests on the table.
Return to starting position and repeat
10 times slowly with each leg. This is
variation of the leg-raising Sidewise
exercise. which may also be done with
the leg straight either in an erect posi-
ton or lying on ones back on the floor.
In the latter form of the exercise the
legs are raised together in vertical

WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
BLUEBEARD'S GHOST
BY william M. Thackeray

"Speak now or you are lost" said the
wizard to Fatima.
But for the first time in her life
Fatima had not q word to say. Sister
Anne. too, was dumb with terror. And
as the awful figure advanced toward
them as they were kneeling the sister
thought all was oyer with them and
Fatima had once more occasion to re-
pent her fatal curiosity.
The figure advanced, saying In dread
sFatina! Fatima! Fatimal Where
fore am I called from my grave?"
All of a sudden. however. his sword
dropped down, down the ghost of Blue
beard went on his knees, and, clasping
hts hands together roared out, MUIR
der! Mercy!" as loud as man could
roar.
Six other ghosts stood around the
kneeling group.
"Why do you call me from the tomb9'
said the first.
"who dares disturb my grave9" said
the second.
seize him and away with himl" cried
the third.
'Murderl Mercy!" still roared the
spirits advanced and caught hold OF
him.
"It's only Tom Trippet." said voice
in Anne's ear.
Now, Tom Trippet was the lover of
Sister Anne. Anne had told him all
about the ghost of Bluebeard, which
had been appearing to Fatima, and
Tom had been doing a great deal of
thinking about It, He said that II
Annes sister were being victimized in
any way he (Tom Trippet) would prove
his love to Anne by saving her from 1t.
"And your humble servant" said q
voice well known to Mrs. Bluebeard. It
sounded very much like that Of Capt.
Blackboard.
They helped the ladies to rise while
the other ghosts seized the ghost Of
Bluebeard. The necromancer took to
his heels and got away. Later he was
found to have been fake, being none
other than Mr.. Claptrap, the manager
Of the local theater.
1t was some time before the ghost Of
Bluebeard could recover from the faint
ing At into which he had been plunged
when seized by the opposition ghosts In
white. While they were ducking him
at the pump his blue beard came OF
and he was discovered to be-who do
y u think? Why, Mr.. Sly. to be sure.
And it appears that John Thomas,
the footman, had lent Sly the uniform,
had clapped the doors, rung the bells
and spoken down the chimney, and
done other things connected with the
haunting
And, Of course, the widow married
Capt. Blackboard. DR.. Sly married
them, and has always declared that he
knew nothing of his nephew's dotngs,
and wondered that he has not tried to
commit suicide since his disappoint-
ment.
You will say that the story Is not
probable. Pshaw! Isn't 1t written in q
book?
