Sallow Woman.

Not long ago one Of my readers. who
says that she 10 only as years old, wrote
asking me to tell her suitable eolorS to
select for q sallow-complexioned wom-
ans wardrobe. am very glad to help
her and others who have the same prob
lem, but before we accept sallowness a.
q matter Of course and try to find coll
ors suited to it, wouldn't It be better to
do something about the sallownesS?
For while 1t Is true that the shades she
wears will make q vast difference in her
appearance. 1t Is equally true that the
women with sallow complexion csn
never look as attractive as her clear
| skinned sister.
The trouble goes deeper than appear
ances. There are few women with
habituAlly sallow skins who feel per-
fectly well physically. Usually they are
| the ones who feel tired most Of the
time, and this lack of abundant health
| expresses itself in o dull, hfeleSs COM
plexion.
The woman who stays indoors most
Of the time and u engaged in o seden-
tary occupation Is most often the one
| whose complexion assumes this dull
hue. To overcome the sallowness she
should get out of doors for some kind of
exercise every day. Next she should
look to her diet and be sure to eat
plenty OF raw fruits and leafy Vege-
tables. Also, she should drink q great
deal Of water IS well Is citrus fruit
juices demon and orange and grape
fruit).
A sallow complexion nearly always
indicates . Sluggiah circulation, and one
way to improve this condition is TO
take cold shower ana brisk setting-up
exercises every morning. AS O purely
local treatment for the complexion
there Is nothing better than steaminR
the face. Do this once a week; it Is
good treatment for a normal skin
| also.
So much for getting rid Of the sal
| lowness. But at best this will not be q
particularly speedy process, and 1t is
| also true that there are some women
whose skin always seems to have a
yellowish tinge. For these we are glad
to make color suggestions. In the f1rst
place, any one with such q complexion
must absolutely avoid all shades of pur-
pie or lilac, as these shades cast Q tinRe
Of yellow over the akin and thus only
accentuate the defect. Bright blues
and black must also be avoided. Dark
blue may be worn II relieved with O

Danny Meadow Mouse had something
TO think about He was sure that the
nest of Carol the Meadow Lark was
Somev here in the neighborhood, but
where he didn't know. Danny was in
terested He knew that Mrs. Meadow
Lark builds her nest on the ground.
Carol had already told him that there
were eggs in that nest. Now, Danny
Meadow Mouse isn't above stealing an
egg when he can do it in safety. He got
to thinking of those eggs in that nest
of Mrs. Meadow Lark's. The more he
thought of them the more he wanted to
sample them. So he began spending a
great deal Of time looking for that nest.
Now, as you know, Danny Meadow
Mouse is q small person. Already the
grass was quite tall, and, of course,
Danny couldn't see over it. This was
q very great disadvantage. He could
look up and see Carol in the air, but
when Carol came down Danny never
could see just where he dropped into
the grass. 1t was much the same as
1t would be with you II you were in the
Green Forest and saw Redtail the Hawk
soaring overhead. AS long as he re-
manned up above you would be able to
get glimpSes of him through the tree
tops. but the moment he descended you
would lose sight Of him. It was exactly
that way with Danny Meadow Mouse.
However, Danny noticed that Carol
most often disappeared in the grass in
q certain direction. Right over there
Is where that nest Is" thought Danny
and began cutting a little path in that
direction. Little by little that path grew
and as he worked he could look up and
zee Carol. It didn't once occur to Danny
that Carol looking down, might see
him.
Once as he stopped to rest he saw
Carol with an insect in his bill. He
disappeared down in the grass just
ahead. Danny chuckled when he saw
this. "He's taking that to feed Mrs
Meadow Lark" said Danny to himself
NSes, sir, he's feeding Mrs. Meadow Larl
On the nest. He's saving her the trouble
Of going to look for food. That nest
must be only a little way ahead.
ought to find it pretty soon now"
A few moments later Danny heard
che sound of wings and Carol few VI
out of the grass from a point only 8
few feet away. Danny's eyes frightened
He was sure that he was just about t

oned with as much as routine. If only
things could proceed with leisure, is the
ardent wish OF one and probably Of all
In the family.
1t is well to consider the advantages
that accrue from this speed, for the dis
advantages do not exist alone. At first
thought they may seem to, but quite
least even, and perhaps upon due con-
Sideration the advantages may over
balance in weight.
Speed the first thing in the morning
sets a good tempo to action. It puts
worth on time which, well used, makes
work get out of the way with surprising
rapidity. In homes where breakfast Is
eaten leiSurely work is apt to drag after
ward, with the result that real leisure,
when one wants 1t later In the day, In
sadly lacking. So speed, without any
hectic rush, has its distinct advantage
in this matter of accomplishing work.
For another thing, when time is
pressing, the attention of each person
Is focused on the duties of the day
without being diverted by unrelated
thoughts and discussions that turn the
attention into unimportant channels.
The accomplishment of present and i'm
mediate duties should stand uppermost.
They require concentrated thought and
effort.
Where breakfasts are prolonged by
conversation, it is hard afterward to
drag ones thoughts back to duties.
Time Is frittered away II the eonveFsa-
ton Is trihing. If 1t has been deep
and profound, mental energy Is taxed
and 1t takes more or less time to restore
energy, as it does to recharge q battery.
1t is only when the mind is restored, or
recharged, that the thoughts can be
guided back with any degree OF vigor to
consider plans and to see that tasks at
hand are executed.
After all, then, is it not wise to ac-
cept with good grace the necessarily
hurried breakfast. not eaten in a rush.
but with the attention given TO the
rourishing food rather than to divert

sat still for a few minutes to think it
over.

enemy might see him and so find the

A little patience is all need"
He heard Carol singing UP above At
the end Of the song he saw Carol start
down. At first he thought that Carol
was going to alight right beside him
but he didn't. He passed right over
Danny's head and alighted only short
distance away; q very short distance
Danny peeked between the grass stems
and caught glimpse of Carol. "Now,

ROUGHAGE IS
ESSENTIAL IN

Kellogg's ALL-BRAN Is Ideal

II you are following a reducing

Kellogg's ALL-BRAN is recon-

"Ladybug. ladybug, ny away home!"
That's the way the old nursery rhyme
used to express the idea that the place
Of the ladybug is in the home. It might
be q good thing to start that old song
again and let some Of the women and
girls of this day know that they may be
wanted at home.
OF course, home in q modern apart
ment is not what it used to be In the
old homestead. but that is not the rea-
son why so many chickens should try
to ny the coop and take the air. Home
has stu some sort Of hold upon them,
too.
A woman may be perfectly right and
proper in her appearance and deport-
ment and yet leave out some of the
touches which used to accompany her
ladyship in the days more or less Of
yore. Then, too, in passing from one
era OF feminine existence to another we
have put q meaning into the word
woman" which was never there before.
Time was when woman" was .
rather ordinary creature, quite distinct
from the lady" 1t was the lady in
the parlor and the woman IT. the
kitchen, but we have changed all that
and done away with all that nonsense.
A real woman Is as ready to handle o
dishmop a. fan. and it's only two
steps from the parlorette to the kitch-
enette,. the way apartments are built
these days.
Just the same, there was q glory
about the lady which has departed; an
odor Of delicacy which isn't on sale at
any drug store. Ladyhood meant grace
and dignity, serenity and ease. We
have to get a book on etiquette to see
how the old trick was worked in the
parlor.
These are "hug days" in the sense
that all sorts of things are attributed
to germs of good or bad sort. Now,
thing that will enable us to cultivate
the fine manners and superior poise Of
the lady that was.
There are some who carry the old
spirit Of ladyship over into the rumpus
Of modern life. Helen Wills Is as mod
ern as the best of them. but her reserve
makes her something like lady Of the
last century. Anne Morrow Lindhergh
may tog out in aviator's overalls or q
drivers suit and Scoot over the CONT
nent, but when she lands she's still q
lady.
But there are others who think that
the break with the old-fashioned past
means noisy manners and tough ways.
They want us to know that they belong
to the new era, and no suggestion of
an old grandmother about them. They
are the ones who ought to be vacei-
mated with the ladybug stun to make
them wholesome and healthy. The real
ladybug will ever keep the home In
sight and be ready to ny back to it.
