Time to Invest.

II you have any stable amount to
invest, should you invest it now or
wait for more favorable market? DO
market conditions affect your invest
ments? How are you to know when TO
invest and when not to invest, or how
are you TO know in which way your
money should be invested.
These are questions evidently puZ-
cling no small number of woman in
VeStors.
We can make a general statement
that will be contradicted, we feel, by
few. 1t is to the effect that there are
always investment opportunities. Even
in times of panic there have been good
investments, and usually when condi-
tions are most unsettled, or threaten
ing. investment opportunities are most
numerous.
If you are investing for income, you
can always get a yield averaging from
of investment you desire. Just at pres
emit, as we have told woman investors,
securities of the highest grade are Of
fering close to a per cent return
while stocks of an equal grade are Of
fering an average of per cent.
In short, under present conditions.

Keeping Face Youthful.

In answer to numbers Of my readers
who want to know how to retain youth
and beauty would say that the first
step is to see that ones posture Is
always correct. Next to watch the mus
cles of the neck as we'll as ones habitual
expression and skin texture. Sooner or
later practically every one finds that
tiny wrinkles are appearing around the
ewes and that the facial muscles begin
to lose their firmness Unless one is
very careful a fine textured skin will
gradually become coarse. Incorrect
cleansing methods are apt to cause
blackheads and enlarged pores.
In retaining youthful complexion
one must remember that beauty is really
more than skin deep and that the proper
working of the digestive and eliminative
system Is essential to beauty. No COM
plexion can remain clear and glowing If
one is troubled with such ills as indi-
geStion or constipation. Usually both
these. ills can be easily overcome by
proper diet and exercise, which every
girl should realize are the two stanchest
beauty aids she has.
Given abundant health the next step
in retaining youthful complexion may
be external treatments. The first essen
tial is absolute cleanliness. Not the
tiniest particle of dust or dirt must ever
be allowed to remain in the skin. Each
individual should study her skin and the
best treatments for her particular type.
Washing the face with tepid water and
a mild pure soap is splendid way
of cleansing the average skin. Those
with tender, scaly skins must not be
too lavish in the use of soap and water
as they win find that this method has
too drying an effect on their complex
ions. Those troubled in this way will
usually find that using a cleansing oil
before the soap and water and soothing
cold cream and skin lotion afterward
will work wonders for them.
Those who have a tendency toward
oily compilations may find the opposite
true; they should use creams spartngly
and instead cleanse the face with soap
and water and use a mild astringent
such as witch-hazel afterWard.
A wise man once said that every one
should think of himself in terms of the
ideal. If there is an ideal in mind, think
of yourself as having already attained
that ideal. While he was not thinking
perhaps OF physical beauty, his admo-
milton is very fitting here also. She who
would be truly beautiful must think of
herself as being beautiful and lovely
not merely of her outward attractive

Your Vocabulary.

When it comes to talking about youl
vocabulary 1t should be pointed out
that you have three--a writing, a
speaking and a reading vocabulary, tC
name them in the order of their prob
able sizes from the smallest to the
largest. These distinctions are not
however. ordinarily made in the htera-
ture on the subject SO we shall not
insist upon them here.
In recent years some psychologists
have been trying to find out just how
many words a person should have in
his vocabulary. Apparently taking
their inspiration from Shakespeare,
who, 1t seems, had a writing vocabu-
larry of 1900 words, these psychologists
have devised certain tests for deter
mination of ones normal acquaintance
in the world of words.
According to Professor Terman OF
Stanford University. normal eight
! year-old should have intelligent ac-
| ouaintance with $500 words; a ten
| year-old, 5,400: a twelve-year-old 1900:
fourteen-year-old, 5000; the average
adult. 11,700: the superior adult, 1880.
There are some who claim that Terman
has underestimated. rather than over
estimated some of the figures.
have used the expression "ntelli-
gent acquaintance" for the purpose of
portant than numbers. What are a
few thousand words more or less in a
field of something like half million,
which any one can get acquainted with
by spending some time with one of the
larger dictionaries of our day?
So we pass from the more or less In
significant question of quantity to the
important question of use or purpose.
Words have a lot to do with the
purpose of your thinking. which in it.
self embraces the finer points of your
conduct
In the first place. words are the
thought-carriers between minds. Words
came along when people found it con-
venient to make some provision for
communicating their thoughts.
In the second place, you may take
a cynical view of the use of words and
say that they are used to conceal
thoughts Here we hit
upon the psychology Of motives, the
hiding Of which sometimes serves
practical ends. Whatever your vocabu-
larry is, 1t is due entirely to your social
surroundings and your adjustments to
these surroundings.

In many respects Margot Asquiths

youth-was more interesting than her
later days have been, Notwithstanding
all the historic circumstance that has
filed them.
Margot was so intensely individual
and so llilariously intent upon gaining
experience that she was one girl in ten
million.
It is only the genius of immaturity
that can achieve an effect like this:
In London she delighted to ride in
Rotten Row. One afternoon her father
kept her waiting so long at the door of
40 Grosvenor square-the Tenant
home-that she became impatient. The
thought came to her, II will ride Tatts
into the front hall and give papa
call"
Tatts, her bay horse, was q creature
she describes as bold, vain and moody.
AS Margot was a marvellous rider, the
feat offered little difficulty. And So
while footman held open the double
doors, she entered.
Unfortunately Tatts upon reaching
the hall saw his reflection in a mirror
He stood on his hind legs crashing his
riders hat into a crystal chandelier
