FACTS ABOUT
FRECKLES

If you are troubled with
lentigo the only thing to do is
to make the best Of 1t, ad-
vises Earl c. Gregory in Physi-
cal Culture Magazine. Lentigo,
by the way, is no dread disease,
but merely the common, though
often hated, freckles.
Mr.. Gregory says: "If YOU
freckle, you freckle, and that's
that. The susceptibility is in
born. That Is, whoever once
develops freckles will have them
appear again under similar con-
ditions of exposure to summer
sunlight"
The writer further points out
that one has no more reason
to be mortified by freckles than
by a head of hair naturally
wavy. "Freckles," he continues,
indicate q body high in vital
ity, and there is something
about the color and texture Of
a womaHi's skin that allows the
freckles to harmonic 50 with
the skin that the spots seem
to belong, they simply fit"
While freckles can be re-
moved. according to Mr.. Greg
ory, by such preparations as
three parts of glycerin to one
part tincture of iodine, the eff
fort is not worth the irritation
it causes. "And," he concludes,
lin order to keep them from
reappearing a woman would
have to deprive herself of the
sun rays, which are necessary
to make her a vitality strong
woman. Hence, she must choose
between the ill-health of shut
in without freckles and the bet
ter health of an outdoor woman
while taking her chances with
the freckles. And what sensible
woman would give up the chance
Of health through outdoor liv.
ing to gain . concession to
vanitys"

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
/. Will you kindly let me

Of Ill breeding for nieces and

uncle by q nickname?
2. Will you also tell me
whether you regard 1t as be-

ly and forward to call peopls
by their first names after .
first or second meeting.
3. Don't you think it shows
respect for others to call them
"Mr." or Miss" or Mrs" a.
well as respect for themselves?
A READER
I. 1t is more polite, certainly,
for the nieces and nephews to
use the title Of Aunt and Uncle
with the addition of the names.
This shows respect and q sense
Of good breeding.
2. The use Of the first name
after such short acquaintance
is surely rushing things a bit.
even in this rushing modern
world. It's socially best to go
a bit more slowly than this,
and build q fine foundation for
q seasoned friendship to fol-
low.

The day the Glotre de France

had another talk with Mrs. Dex-

The woman seemed torn be-
tween desperation and determi-

One moment she was sinking
into an abyss Of despair. The
next moment she was scaling
the mountain Of high hope.
"You look different somehow"
Raquel told her. More alive"
"You noticed it?" Mrs. Dexter
was all eagerness. "Frieda has
taken me in hand. She is really

A song so brave, q song so gay,

Who knows what fears beset

Through nights strange hours,

Who knows what subtle terror

It's vigil through nights hidden

And yet with morn's returning

How swiftly phantom shadows
How sweetly lark's glad lyrics

And so put night and darkness
