No skilled painter would let the cid

and copy remaining half on the exposed

This is done with a lead pencil, and

ferred to later If desired. In redoing

it is done is largely responsible for the
good finish to be desired. Sandpaper
is also used after the paint is applied.
and in the latter instance only the I'm

While the first use of Sandpaper was
to remove paint, the second Is to remove

Small Daughter'a Hair.

Dear Miss Leeds: My small daughter.
aged 81 months. has Mght-brown hair
that shows a slight tendency to curl.
1 am anxious to keep it curling. It Is
best when the weather is warm and
damp, but I can induce it to curl on
dry days by wetting it slightly and
combing it the wrong way. Her hair
Is q little below her ears and Is not
thin. MRS. FRANK H.
Answer-It is unwise to wet the hair
frequently to curl 1t. as to do so tends
to remove the natural oil and cause
streaky color. Wash her hair every two
or three weeks with pure CASTLE soap.
The night before, rub some castor or
olive oil into her scalp. Use warm, but
not hot, water for the shampoo and
rinse in fairly cool or tepid water. Dry
let the little girl play in the hot sun
without a hat. Brush the hair with a
clean baby brush every day. There is
not much on can do toward en-
couraging the natural curl besides keep
ing the child healthy. giving the right
local care and brushing the hair into
ringlets around your finger. Brushing
it upwards is also good for the hair and
will make 1t fluffy. LOIS LEEDS.
COncealinE Birthmark.
Dear Miss Leeds: have large, dark
birthmark on my leg. How can hide
it when I 60 swimming? I cannot
afford to have it removed by q doctor.
TENNYSEE.
Answer-You might try a dark liquid
suntan powder that is waterproof. This
would make the mark less conspicuous,
although it would not conceal 1t en-
tirely. Anything you might put on the
scar would show. Perhaps q bandage
Of adhesive tape would look better than
the dark mark LOIS LEEDS.
