Pimples on the Forehead.

Dear Miss Leeds: Cd May pimples
on the forehead be due to oil from the
hair? I wear bangs over my forehead.
How can I make my face look thinner?
What is a good tonic for dandruff?
az am feet inches tall, Is years
old and weigh 112 pounds. Is this cor
rect? 90 have an olive complexion,
medium brown hair and dark brown
ewes. What colors and styles of clothes
should I wear to make me seem taller?
BABE.
Answer.-U) I do not think that the
oil alone would cause the pimples, but
the oil mixed with dust and germs from
the air might cause infection. Perhaps
often enough. If it is very oily hair,
it should be shampooed once a week.
I think it would help your skin If you
developed a mild case of sunburn on
the forehead. The bangs keep the air
from your brow, and they also make
your face look wider. Give up the
bangs and instead wear a. high side
part, Keep the hair off the center OF
your forehead, but let it wave over
temples and ears. This will make your
face seem slender. Let the waves come
forward on your cheeks. DandruH is OF
different sorts, the dry and the oily.
If yours Is oily, make lotion by mix
ing two ounces flowers of sulphur, one
ounce borax and one pint boiling water.
Cool the mixture and let 1t stand three
or four days before using. Since the
sulphur is not soluble in water, it is
necessary to shake up the liquid before
applying it to the scalp. Moisten the
scalp with this mixture three times a
week and massage vigorously for 10
minutes afterward. (2) Your weight is
good. 90 Your best colors are bright
reds. rust and brick red. Dull pink,
coral and apricot are also good. You
may also wear bronze green, dark blue,
ecru, deep brilliant yellow, deep cream
and black trimmed with bright color.
Rather close-fitting dresses with straight
lines will help you seem taller. Verti-
cal bands of trimming or tucks give
height. LOIS LEEDS.

zled over the problem.
Finally she talked it over with her
mother, "Why. my dear child, do you
mean to say you never have owned a
fur ring?" Nancy confessed to such a
lack. Consequently her mother made
one for her at the earliest opportunity.
She took a large wooden embroidery
hoop. Since these come in pairs, she
had the makings for two rings. She
wound each hoop with velvet ribbon
about half inch wide. This winding
was done on the diagonal. Then she
put small ribbon flower at the place
where the binding joined. She sewed a
ribbon hanger to the hoop, as shown
in the illustration
The fur. the knitted article, the bead
ed dress is put through the hoop and
the ribbon hangers are put over tie

tributed. The velvet ribbon binding
gives an adhesive surface, which is
better than slippery taffeta or chintz.

We travel more today, at a higher
cost than our grandmothers did in their

today than ever before, both passage

most cities they are common, and so
are Summer furs. We wear silken hose
today as though we never wore cotton
or Isle. We wear Sheerer hose today
than most of us had seen a score of

In other words we are spending more
money. We are spending, however, on
new objects of purchase. New things
have come into our life which increases
our comfort and pleasure. They also
increase our expense.
Our cost of living has risen because
more people want these comforts and
pleasures, and they must earn higher
salaries to buy them. We all earn more
money and spend more. Some of us
spend too much. We forget that every
comfort and pleasure may not be avail
able to us.
It has been said that some of us
bought in 1927 what we are wearing out
In 1928, and will pay for in 1929. There
Is constant temptation to buy more
things. There is constant need of the
necessities of life. Buy the latter first,
owe for nothing. The comfort of hav-
ing ones debts paid and the pleasure Of
paying as one goes is second to none.
