Eight.Hour Day for Home Maker
By LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER

ever, that hours can be cut down and
| work lose much OF its drudgery, that
| there can be genuine home cooking OF
| meats, fresh vegetables and fresh fruits
| to delight the palate and not take dis
proportionate amount of the homemak-
erS time. The questions seem to be,
how can the work be fitted into pre-.
scribed hours? And can 1t be done
without sacrificing the home to the
house?
Granting that an eight hour day is
feasible for the housewife without q
maid, as 1t Is for the man of the
house In his business, there must be
flexibility In the time schedule in the
first instance, not the rigidity that busi-
ness demands in the latter case. The
housewives eight-hour day will begin
some hours before that of the man and
end some hours after his is done. But
to Offset these discrepancies the woman
would have leisure time in the morning.
noon or afternoon, according to the need
of her special household. The mans
time Is occupied in two long stretches
broken by a short period of leisure, II
lunch hour cen be called leisure time"
It is the absolute inflexibility the
business days hours, coupled with the
fact that the work is away from the
home, that allows a man to enjoy utter
relaxation from business In a place de-
ltghtfully free from suggestions of it. His
work is done when he leaves the ONCE
or store.
The housewife cannot get away from
the atmosphere in which her work is
done, but she can plan her eight hours
work in such way that rest or leisure
can come to suit her convenience and
pleasure best. One thing that house.
wife absolutely must learn, then, is how
to manipulate her times to suit the
much-advocated and longed-for eight
hour day.
One item that is neglected in compar-
ing the eight-hour home day and the
elghe-hour business day Is waste time
in home work. In business each minute
OF the etght-hour day is spent on bust
ness so Accordingly that there is no op-
portunity for outside interests to en-
ter into 1t. In housework Interruptions
are 1nceSsant, the telephone, the unex-
pected caller, social letters read inlme-
olately the postman comes, these and
thousands OF other things break the
continuity of the home eight hour day,
The woman may be long in accom-
plishing q short task but not actually
be busted all that time in performing
the work Of it.
It is in such Interruptions Of the
homemaker's hours that differentiate
them from business hours away from
home. It is when she willingly gives
her time to the most important tasks
of homemaking, whether It be the con-
else household task or the comfort,
consolation and succor Of those Of her
household or these who have q rightful
call on her tins, that she becomes a
true homemaEer and not a mere me-
chanical housewife. So the home-lov-
ing woman listens to theoretical discus
sions OH eight-hour days and wonders
how she can put the theory to practice.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
By LOIS LEEDS.

Dear Miss Leeds: % I would like
to know what to do for q red COM
plexion. My throat is red also. CD
How can prevent under-arm perspira-
tion?-M. Z. 8.
Answer. O) You will never have
white skin. but you can keep your COM
plexion from getting redder by protect
ing 1t from hot sun and wind. For
daytime wear. adopt the popular suntan
makeup. which will give your skin a
brown tone and protect 1t at the same
time. For evening you might expert
ment with lavender or greenish tints in
face powder to tone down the redness
Use the makeup on your throat also
Harsh soaps and failure to rinse and
dry carefully tend to make the skin too
red. Use pure CASTLE soap. Avoid ex-
tremes Of heat or cold. (2) There are
several commercial preparations on the
market for checking perspiration. Try
one OF them.-LOIS LEEDS.
Superfiuous Hair.
Dear Miss Leeds: am young girl
% years old I have q heavy growth
Of hair on my upper lip. How can
get rid Of it forever?--R. z. T.
Answer. You may have the hairs
permanently removed by electrolysis.
The hairs that are so. treated never
grow in again. but sometimes adjacent
hairs appear, so that a number Of treat
ments may be required to clear the
whole area permanently.-LOIS LEEDS.
Underweight.
Dear Miss Leeds: am 10 years old
5 feet tall and weigh only 30 pounds
I have always been underweight. I
eat the proper kinds of food and for
three months have been drinking four
glasses of milk and four Of water every
day. How can I gain weight?-MARY
LOIS.
Answer. You are II pounds below
the average weight for your age and
height. If you have small bones, part
Of this thinness may be due to your
natural type. Sometimes underweight
is due to adenoids. bad tonsils or de-
cayed teeth, to nervousness or loss OF
sleep at night. eye strain or other UNI
suspected variations from the normal.
My advice to you is that you have a
thorough physical examination by a

stir and beat till you have a creamy
LIQUID. Keep this emulsion in q dark

you use it. It is very pleasant to use,
very whitening and excellent for the
hands and arms.
An easy way to keep the skin from
getting too dark during the Summer
IL to put q couple Of drops Of tincture
of benzoin into the rinse water when
you wash your face and hands.
Estelle Witch hazel is a mild

likely make your skin very dry. 1t is
not q bleach so 1t could not have any
effect upon your freckles. Try a piece
Of cut cucumber rubbed into the places
where you have the freckles, and wash
OF the juice after 1t has been on and
dried into the skin for about five min
utes. II the skin feels drawn after
ward, rub Q bit Of cream or oil into 1t.
Cucumber Juice Is harmless, but this
or any other bleach will neutralize the
natural secretions In the skin and leave
the drawn feeling for time, so 1t Is
well to follow up any Of these with o
small amount Of oil, just as o lubricant
to tide over the short time. until the
skin has been supplied again with its
own oils.

made by taking q few large cucumbers,
slicing them very thin, skin and all
and simmering them in q very little
bit Of water. when they are very soft
and mushy strain through q sieve and
then through a cloth. This lotion can
be used Just as 1t Is. or it can be di-
luted by adding half Its own amount
Of cologne. As this contains alcohol
It will preserve the cucumbers and keep
them from getting rancid. also it will
be less sticky when used on the hands
You can make q cucumber essence
by combining couple Of ounces Of
fresh cucumber juice and q couple Of
ounces Of high-proof alcohol. This is
