Straight Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

vestors are attracted in numbers to the
bond market, as they are likely to be,
it may mean a swift decline to per
cent yields
AS yields decline bond prices go up,
and women holding bonds today or
similar securities will find they have
appreciated considerably in price. To
the woman who wishes to keep her
funds profitably invested this price adj
vance will mean little unless she wishes
to liquidate some Of her holdings. An
extra three fourthS per cent in income
will be more attractive than the profit
OF sale.
We trust the advantages of short
term securities are understood and that
the facts will overcome any prejudices
or false beliefs that may exist.

spicuous fixtures that 1T into side
easements so that the curtains hang
close to window panes. Because they
cover the glass merely they are called
glass curtains. Solid brass rods cut to
order to Mt windows and that are put
up firmly with stout fixtures are al
ways satisfying. When decorators
measure the windows and attend 20
all the work of cutting and putting
them up, the cost runs into quite a bit
of money. 1t is possible. however, to
get excellent results by careful selection
of rods to suit window necessities and
then putting them up yourself. This
cannot be done In jiffy nor in any
slip-Shod way. 1t takes careful meas
urements, precision in positioning fix-
lures, good screws and screw driver,
and a step ladder that stands firm
while you put up the rods.
Now that windows are being freshly
dressed for the Thanksgiving festivities
and home-comings, the home decora-
tor may well pay attention to rods and
fixtures asaweiI IS the curtains and

Stubborn BIackheads.

Dear Miss LeedS-Q) Every night be-
fore go to bed wash my face with
soap and lather it well. / then rinse
1t of with warm water and then with
cold. Is that the thing to do? CD The
skin on my nose dries and it peelS ter
ribly. What can do for this? CD I
am Is years old; will ever get rid Of
blackheadS on my face? When squeeze
them out they leave awful red marks.
Is there any other way that Is helpful?
a. Before go to bed always put on
some vanishing cream and leave 1t on
overnight. Is this the proper cream for
night treatments? go Is 1t good to
leave cream on the face overnight? CO..
Will bleaching the hairs on the upper
lip with peroxide make the hair grow
in longer? What is a good bleaching
process? BLACk-EYED SUSAN.
Answer-While your method of
cleansing the face is fine for some skins,
the dry peeling skin on your nose indi-
for your skin. You need gentler treat
ment for both the dry skin and the
blackheadS. Before you wash your face
with soap and water at night, cleanse
your skin with q cleansing oil or cream.
Leave 1t on a few seconds and then
remove 1t with q soft cloth or tissue
square. Now was 1t with warm water
and q very mild soap. If the water is
hard, soften 1t by adding one table
cornmeal. Rinse in tepid water and
dry thoroughly.
Apply a little of the following salve
to the stubborn blackheadS and leave
it on overnight: One dram ichthyol, two
drains zinc oxide, two drains powdered
starch, four drains petrolatum. Mix to
a smooth Salve. In the morning wash
your face with warm water, rinse in
cold water and dry with a little fric-
ton. Twice a week steam the face by
holding towel wrung out in hot water
over 1t. Gently press out the larger
blackheads and battle the nose with
warm boric acid solution, which is
made by disSolving one heaping tea
spoonful of boric acid in one pint of
boiling water. Allow 1t to cool.
You can rid your face of blackheads
by faithful treatments. but you must
have patience and not bruise your skin
by trying to press out stubborn black
heads. The 'salVe will soften the hard
ened, dry mass so that it may be pressed
out easily. After the skin pores are
thoroughly cleansed, prevent the black
heads returning by keeping the skin ac-
tive and well fabricated. After washing
your face at bedtime, massage it for a
few minutes with an oily cold cream.
Remove the excess cream ana IeAVe
thin Aim on the face overnight when
it feels dry and scaly.
90 Vanishing cream is used as a
foundation cream, but it is not oily
enough for your type of skin to be
used as a night cream. (5) Use any
reliable brand of cold cream or night
cream for this purpose. Pat on a mild
skin tonic before you apply your face
powder. co The peroxide and am
monia will bleach the dark facial hairs
eventually, but, as you have probably
discovered, it is not very haSty process.
No, peroxide will not encourage the
growth of the facial hair. Electrolysis
is used to remove the long, unsightly
facial hairs permanently. LOIS LEEDS. |

came a matter of course and finally in
our own age gave way definitely in
favor of those of lighter tones.
Interestingly enough, black gloves
have come into favor again. There is
no longer any question of their smart
ness in certain ensembles. They may
even be worn with the formal evening
dress. The all-black or black-and-white
evening costume is especially smart this
season and black has come back into
its own for the daytime suit and coat.
There are rough black fabrics that
combine with gray, beige or brown for
sports or informal daytime suits and

cologne-water, one dram boric acid.
Take a few neck-bending and twisting
exercises every morning and again at
bedtime. Massage the throat and neck
with your fingertips two or three times
a day. (2) Enlarged facial pores may
eventually be overcome by using a mild
astringent after washing and drying
the face or after removing cream.
Take more active outdoor exercise.
Avoid constipation and indigestion.
Coarse and enlarged facial pores need
internal adjustments as well as local
treatments, however. The use of a
complexion brush and a pure, mild
soap, together with an astringent wash,
will in time overcome enlarged facial
pores, and wise selection of your food
will in time change the texture of your
skin. Exercise will keep your muscles
firm and supple. Plenty of fresh air
and sunshine are also necessary. Prac-
tice correct posture. LOIS LEEDS.
