Facial Pores.

Perhaps the nearly universal beauty
blem&h Is enlarged facial pores. These
are most apt to occur in skins of the
oily type, and unless very definite steps
are taken to get rid of them when they
present their first appearance they are
difncult blemiShes to ease. The fol-
lowing treatment is very good for re-
fininR the pores in an oily skin, and in
addition to this benefit it has q tend
ency toward tightening muscles Of the
face which are becoming fiabby.
The flrst step in the treatment Is the
same as that In any facial massage
namely, to protect the hair by binding
towel tightly around it. Let the ears
show, but cover every bit Of hair so
that it will not become greasy from
contact with the creams. Next apply a
generous amount of cleansing cream
Rub it in gently and then wipe of the
dirt taken up by the cleansing cream.
It is better to use light cleansing oil
or cream which will penetrate into the
pores, as It is the embedded dirt which
causes them to become enlarged and
coarse.
Next comes the steaming with hot
towels. Wiring out q small Turkish
towel in hot water and cover the face
with 1t. Before it coolS replace 1t with
another hotter, towel. Repeat these
hot applications several times, using
two towels alternately. This opens the
pores thoroughly, thus preparing the
skin for the massage which is to follow
After the hot applications apply mas
sage cream and proceed to massage all
the facial muscles thoroughly, using the
upward and outward rotary strokes and
finally the gentle tapping massage over
the cheeks, forehead, throat and neck
always going in an upward direction.
After the massage wipe of the excess
cream, and then you are ready for the
part of the treatment which Is designed
especially for refining coarse skin.
Heat about one cupful Of witch-hazel
until 1t is quite warm but not hot
enough to burn the skin. Squeeze out
two small pads Of clean absorbent cot
ton In the witch-hazel and place them
over your closed eyes. Take another
piece Of absorbent cotton large enough
to cover the rest of your face and
moisten it In the wttch-hazel also. Lay
this over the whole face, like a beauty
mask. leaving only the nostrilS and lips
exposed to view. Now wiring out me-
dunn sized Turkish towel In hot water.
fold it once lengthWise, and lay it over
the cotton mask, leaving the nostrils
uncovered. Before the towel has cooled
replace 1t with another one and leave
1t on until it cools.
After 20 minutes or so remove the
towel and cotton. Gently blot the skin
dry with q soft towel. Rub the face and

Individual Pumpkin Pie.

Mix two-thirds cupful Of sugar with
half teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoon
full Of cinnamon and one teaspoonful of

and stir In one and one-half cupfuls Of
cooked. pumpkin and one and one-hali
cuptulS of milk mixed together. Either
canned or fresh cooked pumpkin may be
used. Use cheese pastry for the shells.
Build up the pastry around the edges
so that 1t will be thicker than the rest
of the shell. Fill almost to the top with
the pumpkin mixture. Bake in q mod
erately hot oven until the filling Is set
and the crust is Drowned. This makes
IL individual pies.
To make the cheese pastry, sift two

OUR CHILDREN

1t is a long time since my teacher
held q book In her hand and asked me
about the climate Of Italy. Well knew
about the climate Of that lovely land
and eagerly poured out my story.

southern valleys, only high on the

Dear me. Then what was in the book

happening outside the book? Very
strange. but Of course, If the teacher
said So
Then I went to another, and nobler
school. The professor held his book and
asked me, What is education?" All,
well, knew the answer to that.
Education Is freeing the mind of
ignorance; giving opportunity for ex-
pertinent; leading childhood and youth
TO discover what is best in themselves:
opening before the minds Of the young
the riches Of literature, art"
MY dear boy, I only asked you a

lecture. Give me Buffers definition Of
education. That will sufice for the &C.
caSicn."
So. Again. The book held me bound.
Perhaps the books were the thing and
was straying far from the goal?
And then taught children and they
held no book before me, but opened the
doors of their souls and let me see in
little way. 1t was not the book. It
was the divine idea that glowed in each
one Of them sacred and secret, thai
elusive quality we call life immortal. A
thing outside the books.
So the children taught me the truth
of what John Dewey said. The child Is
the center of the course of study. The
child Is the school. The child is the
expression of the Immortality Of the
human spirit. He is beyond the word,
beyond the letter, beyond the book.
There is much of value in the books.
We must have them. But much Of value
lies outside the books, much that, be-
cause Of its intangible priceless. UNI
namable quality could never be put in q
book Listen for the word that betrays
its presence. Welcome the hint of its
being. Treasure beyond all else that
elusive imaginative, glinting touch that
makes old things as new; that creates.
1t cannot be taught. 1t cannot be be-
slowed. It can only be left TO itself and
encouraged and fed and strengthened
on its own terms, by its own methods,
in its own likeness. It Is not the books.
1t is the child himself. Sadly enough.
it is often the child you have never seen
though he dwell with you.
