Shells Useful
And Decorative

Many people never get over their
childhood fondness for gathering shells
along sea and lake shore. 1t is
pleasant sort Of diversion, even If you
don't know one shell from the other so
far as scientific names and classical
ton are concerned. But 1t becomes a
really exciting sort of pastime If you
take the trouble to study shells and to
make even a small collection of the
specimens Of the various sorts you find
from time to time.
There are many ways In which at
tractive shells may be put to practical
use, and to the woman with practical,
rather than q scientific, turn of mind
collecting shells for this purpose may
be much more diverting. A generation
or 50 ago women used to collect shells
to use to cover boxes, vases, lamps and
other small objects. The shells were
imbedded In q layer of putty spread
over the surface Of the vase, box or
other object. These things have, of
course, long since passed out of fash
ion, but new sort Of shell ornamental
ton has come into vogue within recent
years. From the lighter, more opales-
cent sorts Of shells charming bouquets
of imitation flowers can be made, which
are much more interesting II you have

Early in her course of instruction ut
beauty school, your beauty operator was
taught that lovely skin Is the basis Of
feminine beauty. The lesson did not
end, however. with the learning of this
abstract truth. She was taught the
complicated structure and manifold
functions Of the skin, and from this
how to care for it intelligently.
You, too, can give your skin the IN
telligent care it deserves by practicing
the things your beautician was taught.
Every feminine complexion is poten-
TALLY lovely. Some require more care
than others, but all will yield to the
care that Is based on the laws govern
ing the skins health.
Unfortunately, nature didn't plan on
modern city atmosphere when she de-
signed human skin. Before SCOT and
CRIME saturated the air. the skins oil
ana sweat glands were able to do their
work without much help from massag-
ing and bathing.
But now the normal work Of the
pores Is impeded. And in addition to
dirt from the outside. the skin con-
tinually throws on minute scales. So

Making Slave of Mother

marching daughter paid $l2 into the
home cash box each week.
Not that Mrs. Blake ever actually
thought of Berthe paying board" at
home, but she did think of Berthe do
ing its equivalent.
This question of board-paying chill
dren Is q big one in many households.
Continentals take for granted from the
time their offspring can work that, Of
course, they, in turn, will pour money
into the home Golfers and begin to make
up what parents have spent on them.
American parents have always been in
clined to abhor this idea.
We have q notion that daughters, es-
pecially. will very naturally live at home
on the bounty Of their fathers until they
are married. Occasionally the parents
may have a different idea, but their off,
spring take their keep" so for granted
that their elders haven't the heart TO
enlighten them on the subject even IL
they would like to.
The way the younger generation lives
is out Of all harmony with the way their
parents live. Girls earning at least $25
q week take it as a matter Of course
that their income shall all be spent or
saved for themselves. They seem blind
and deaf to the shabbiness and econ
omies Of their parents.
Sometimes one wonders II the con-
tinentals haven't the right idea after all.
And If their way isn't the most sensible.
I am hoping that Bertine's mother
gets little gumption, puts her foot
down and says something to this effect:

cism to assist me. Now you're on your
own feet. You must become . self

She'll let Bertine's plans 60 through.
and suffer silently when Berthe COM

The daughter who pays no board" is
generally the daughter who sits on the
porch after dinner while her mother
washes the dishes. To be sure, she may
have worked harder during the day. and
her mother may have had plenty Of rest
spells on the porch, but it's all part OF
the generally accepted idea that daugh-
ter is q fragile creature whose every
selfish interest must be protected, but
that she herself owes nothing to the
home nest.
