Touch of Artistry Given to Letters
By LYDIA lie BARON WALKER.

tistically is something we'll to know
If one takes pride In the appearance
Of ones correspondence. A young
woman of my acquaintance, who is an
artist and can seem to do nothing with
out a certain delightful finesse, has
worked the matter out for her personal
use in way which will be of interest
to others.
The heating of sealing wax before
1t is dropped on the envelope flap re-
ouires care in itself. The stick of wax
should be held we'll above the flame
of match or candle, so that 1t will not
actually take fire itself or become
charred and blackened. When this
happens the color. carefully chosen. is
changed in spots from its original hue
When the wax is fluid enough to
drop there is the danger that some of
1t will fall where it is not intended.
In order to guard against this place a
sheet of paper or blotter between
the candle and the exact spot where
the seal is to be placed. Should any
OF the wax fall on its way no harm is
done
Blending of two colors of wax is very
effective indeed. especially when the
colors are selected to harmonize with
those of the colored lining of the en-
u
color is melted and applied, as described
and the second dropped upon it before
the first is hard A seal is pressed down
! upon the two which aids in the blend
ing process. Such combinations as sill
yer and rose. blue and black, yellow and
lavender. etc. are delight to the eye.

letter so sealed is to realizs something
agreeable even before opening it.
In the matter of applying seals,
word should be said. In the haste OF
using at the right moment, one fire.
quently neglects to ascertain whether or
not the initial or monogram is being
imprinted right side up or otherwise
A way to insure its being plumb" is to
mark the letters in their right position
on the handle of the seal so that you
can see without inverting. how it is be-
ing placed. On some initial seals this
has already been attended to by the
maker. It can be done by any one with
pen on wood. or on paper which is
glued on.
One young friend, recently from coll
lege. always uses her college ring as
seal when writing to her classmates
although at other times and initiated
one is her preference. 1t always is well
come sign of mutual interest to have
such special way of marking her let
ters. and one can well imagine how de-
lighted those who have the same alma
mater are to see the imprint dear to
them also.
/ If the wax on a letter becomes hard
before the seal is applied, hold a lighted
| match just above the place where 1t
has been dropped and, when soft, apply

BEAUTY CHATS
Some Special Problems.

A reader who signs no name writes
to ask what to do for flabbiness all
over the body for woman who has
reduced. She has taken off so pounds,
no less! And weighing now what she
ought and being pleased with her
slender figure, she wants to tighten the
skin, which seems to be loose all over
her.
1 suspect she reduced too quickly. At
the best rate, which is two pounds
week, the skin is apt to shrink as the
flesh beneath it reduces; and there is no
fiabbiness when the proper weight has
been attained. But some have less
elastic skin than others, though the
elasticity of the skin is amazing, even
in old people.
The thing for my reader to do is to
take baths that will act as an astrin-
gent, shrinking the skin of the body.
For instance, a fairly hot tub during the
day, followed by cold rinse The hot
tub should have lot of sea salt in it
Cthis is cheap If bought in bags), be-
cause the salt Is astringent and makes
the skin firm and shrinks it and tones
it up as well. Then this should be fol-

Answer--(D While sitting at your

hold in your abdomen by contracting
the muscles. This is firing at first,
but after you have acquired the habit
you will have a flatter abdomen. This
daily and hourly practice will do more
to help you than occasional exercise.

gent and helps shrink the skin.
The face and neck may need more
than this. A gentle massage with a
cream which is wiped off with a cloth
should be followed by a 10-minute rub
with a piece of ice. This certainly
shrinks the skin more than anything
else, tones up the fiabby muscles, re-
stores the lost firm contours and keeps
the skin from forming wrinkles.
Cream, as well as astringents, must
be used on the skin during a reduction.
The actual reducing takes fat from un-
der the tissues naturally, and this may
make the skin dry. Cleansing cream
will restore the freshness without in
any way fattening the face or neck.

Grooming the Eyebrows.

Dear Miss Leeds-Fine hairs are be-
ginning to grow between the inner
ends of my eyebrows. Please tell me
a safe way to remove them What will
make eyebrows appear regular in width?
HELEN.
Answer -- These hairs may be re-
moved permanently by electrolysis.
While the very thin. plucked eyebrow
is no longer in vogue, it is permissible
to take out few struggling hairs that
mar the natural curve of the eyebrow.
If you pluck them with the tweezers
they will soon grow in again. Use
small eyebrow brush for grooming your
brows every day. Brush them inward
from the edges so that the hairs will
meet in a graceful arch through the
center of the brows. LOIS LEEDS.
