ca Cold cream will not dry the skin,
but it will keep it smooth and well lu-
brfcated If you apply it after washing
the face with soap and water thorough
ly. Very little is needed If it is applied
evenly. The best method to adopt is
to apply the cream with the tips of the
finges, using light, pattering, upward
movement and massage the skin lightly
for several minutes. The surplus cream
should then be wiped off with soft
cloth, tissue square or absorbent cotton,
leaving thin film of cream on the skin
overnight. This method is especially
good for those whose skin has tend
ency to be too dry and to chap.

Fashions of Today
Pitfalls in Mode.
By MARIE sHALMAR

Every mode has its pitfalls for the
unwary and the present mode of more
picturesque dresses. romantic hats and
feminine accessories is no exception to
this rule. The fact is that this new
mode that has been launched for Spring
and has already been Endorsed by
enough women to assure it of success is
as full of such pitfalls as Swiss cheese
is of holes
The difference is, of course, that we
expect the holes in the cheese and We
don't expect the pitfalls in the new
mode, and some women don't even
know when they have fallen into them.
So much has been said of the re-
turn of more feminine fashions and
greater romance in dress that women
who naturally like fussy clothes may
feel that now is an opportunity to in
dulge this taste. The simple, straight
line, one-piece dress gave far less OPP
portunity for overelaboration than the
more elaborate dress of today with its
separate belts and girdles, scarfs, capes,
collars and cuffs.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Especially will it stop the chronic
sneeze.
The sneeze which we call chronic
and We believe medical men use the
same TERMS a habit, rather than
physiological manifestation.
A real sneeze has real cause, in
herent in tissue conditions, but the
chronic sneeZe Is mostly mental.
1t is a sneeze with the mind, rather
than with the throat and lips.
It uses these organs, Of course, but Its
motivation lies in the intelligence
which has worn habit track.
The chronic sneeze Is just like the
hankering for any other form OF In
diligence.
BY exertion of will power one may
stop it.
It is manifestly impossible to believe,
one may feel, that a person in good
health could be suffering from cold
in the head every day in the year.
Or can he?
1t would take a doctor to decide. and
the best doctor is the best gueSSer, so 1t
might be guesswork, after all.
One may insist that a chronic sneeZer
usually is in too good health to resort
to sneezing, if he wanted to quit the
habit
We know several of these gentlemen,
in a most excellent state of health, who
sneeze because they like to sneeZe.
They are so healthy, in fact, that a
sneeze never bothers them, but they
fail to realize that other persons more
susceptible to colds and kindred dis
eases, may receive harm from some
thing which does not hurt them.
