DEAR MADAM JERITZA:
I am a girl of is and have

Will you please tell me what
can do for them? 1 thank you
in advance for your kind SER
vice. 4... p. l..
Perfect health, including per.
feet bodily cleanliness, internal
and external, Is the source of a
beautiful complexion. So build
up your health in every sensi-
way. won't you!
Get eight or nine hours OF
sound sleep in a cool quiet, airy
room each night. Drink six
glasses of water daily. Walk
three miles or more every day
and practice gymnastics. Take
a bath-either a tub or sponge
bath will do If it is thorough
every day. Above all. eat only
the plainest, simplest food, in
Guiding fresh vegetables, fresh
fruit, salad and a pint or more
of milk every day. Eat very lit.

Wash your face night and
morning with warm soap suds
and a clean wash cloth. rinse it

dry it gently. Use powder spar

use makeup take it off every
night with pure olive oil and
absorbent cotton or else good
cleansing cream. Now and then,
when your skin Is chapped, rub
in a little OF the oil or cream.
All these suggestions are, I
realize, just sensible rules of
simple, wise living that most OF
us know all about and fail to

THE BEAUTY
BOX
BY Helen Follett-

Elbows are beginning to show
the wear and tear Of the, sum-
mer season. Sun-tanned ones are
like parchment shells. To whiten
and soften arm hinges, bathe
first with soapsuds and a brush;
dry, massage with cold cream or
a tissue food: apply almond meal
and cover with hot towels. Elbows,
which are seldom lovely, never
receive the attention they should
have.
Curly hair goes straight in a
dry climate. The more moisture
there Is in the air, the tighter
the waves and ringlets. Naturally
curly hair responds to steaming
and petting. After the shampoo,
when the hair is only slightly
dried, the waves should be set
with the fingers and comb.
Certain skin diseases are caused
by lack of vitamins in the food.
Maybe Job could have got rid of
his boils IL Mrs. Job had fed him
more carrots and spinach. made
him drink milk and urged him, to
lap up the water in which the
vegetables were cooked. Who
knows?
The short bob is still beloved
by the bobettes. though long hair
or hair of shoulder lengths
becoming more popular every
day. A good way to manage the
tag-ends is to tie them tightly
with a narrow black ribbon, di-

Why not? Neal and Alice had

Responsibility of Marriage

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am coming to you for advice
because you have helped so many
others through your column.
Should a man who is mar
ried to an inferior person keep
her just to have home for one
son? We hRve been married six
years. And by studying and
working hard I have advanced
to a very good position. She has
done nothing. | have tried to
get her interested in learning,
but she absolutely refuses to
'waste her time on books"
My friend and associates often
invite US out, but she refuses to
go or take bit Of interest
in any social affairs at all.
This thing is becoming more
and more embarrassing every day.
What shall I do? Thank you.

When you married you under

that responsibility is doubled now

about. He needs and is entitled

balances any Inconvenience you
may experience because your
wife is not entirely congenial.
