For DIV Skin.

Before milady dons her afternoon or
her street frock she Is usually very
careful to apply Just the right amount
Of powder and makeup. But how dis
heartening when she catches sight Of
herself In q mirror half hour or hour
later and discovers that her nose Is
blissfully shining right through the care
fully applied powder base and powder.
Now Whist Is to be done about these
that milady shall Danish all rules Of
etiquette and make the powder pun
play just as active part on the street
or in the drawing room as 1t would In
her boudoir?
In the first place, one Of the causes
for the pores exuding too much oil Is
sometimes the excessive use of powder,
and those who are especially affiicted
should keep in mind that constant dabs
with the powder pun, while they may
give temporary relief, often aggravate
the condition.
Another cause land perhaps the most
frequent one Of alb Is incorrect diet or
faulty elimination Of waste products.

shower and q brisk rundown, win help
to stimulate the skin, stomach and In

that the diet contains q suficient
amount Of raw fresh fruits and vegeta-

Water as an agent for combating an
oily skin Is just as important exter-

ing the face with soap and water both
night and morning, the face should be
splashed over with cold water two or
three times a day and then dried by
plotting with clean, soft towel, not
by Vigorous rubbing.
An old-fashionsd remedy for q too
oily skin Is to wipe the skin of a Gu

Whitefoot's Little Joke.
You'll find it is a general rule
That folks themselves most often fool
-Whitefoot the Wood Mouse.

What Whitefoot means is that If you
want to fool some one, play a joke on
him, all you need to do as a rule is to
discover a mistake he has made and
then let him keep right on making
that mistake. So he fools himself.
Peter Rabbit had made mistake from
the very beginning of his efforts to find
who was the strange singer in the
Green Forest. Because Peter always
associated singing with birds, he at
once began looking for a feathered
singer. It never once entered his funny
little head that any one but a bird
could possibly have produced that song.
This Whitefoot the Wood Mouse dis
covered at once when Peter told him
about the strange song and it brought
q twinkle of mischief to Whitefoots
big, soft eyes.
"IIl keep right on letting him look
for q feathered singer" said Whitefoot
to himself, land while he looks I'll have
q little fun with Peter"
Perhaps you remember that on two
occasions when Whitefoot had disap-
peared for q few minutes Peter had
heard that strange song. Each time on
his return whitefoot helped Peter look
for the singer and each time the re-
suit was the same. It quite upset Peter.
To have that singer so near yet be
unable to find him, not even feather

Wanderlust;.

Three years ago a man left his home
and wife because he had the wander
lust. His wife says that his family and
friends have never been able to learn
Of his whereabouts. She Is now bring
ing suit to collect money which she
has spent out Of her own estate for the
necessities Of life.
A couple of days before he disappear
ed, this man wrote the following let
ter to his brother:
1T know Virginia and I made fall
ure in getting married. She and /, as
you know, have always gotten along all
right, and the fact that am going away
does not mean she is. to blame in any
way. just had to get out. Something
kept at me all the time, although EVIL
IDENTIFY did not show it outwardly.
Where am going or when shall
return / cannot tell you now. ] simply
want to get away for time and get
my bearings. Life has become the same
round every day-but am blaming no
one but myself"
The wanderlust! This gnawing de-
sire to get OF somewhere to the rim of
the world where we can begin to live
where we can forget all those nagging
small needs of every day!

kind of person We always longed to be.
Where we can be free and foot-loose.
with nothing between us and the other
side of the world but winding white
road, which dips down to some hidden
t,lrning-that unfathomed cryptic turn
in the road that may lead to any
where!
What is it that we want on the other
side of the world that leads us on and
on, still unsatisfied? What, after all.
did this man, who evidently did not
show it -"outwardly," find at the end of
his search? Perhaps he wanted ro-
mance-a touch of glamour that the
common round of everybody could not
afford him. Perhaps he wanted work
that would satisfy. Perhaps he wanted
in some way to express himself.
Isn't the man or woman with q wan
dering foot a person with more FLU
sions than the rest of us? For they
must believe that love and home and
work are not the only answers to happi-
ness. They must believe that some
where, on one of those twisting roads
on one of those tossing blue seas. they
are going to find the answer-to un-
satisfied longing.

Your Baby and Mine
nY MYRrLE nrEYRR ELpRRn.

The older books on baby care fright
ened mothers unnecessarily, for they
suggested that the healthy baby should
sleep from 40 to 40 hours out OF the a..
II he didn't, as was often the case,
mothers were panic-stricken. More re-
cent data on sleep have revolutionized
these older ideas. It has been found
that from birth some healthy babies do
not even sleep more than II hours q
day. This amount Is about the mini
mum for the tiny baby, and OF course
there are babies who sleep many more
hours.
Each year of his life the baby's sleep
ing hours decrease. At flrst he sleeps
from ID to 18 hours day. At one
year he may be sleeping no more than
Is hours. At two years he may have
reduced this amount to IL or IL. Up
to adolescence the child Is benefited by
10 to IL hours Of sleep. After this pc
Rod circumstances and family habits
viii impress themselves upon the child
and his sleeping hours VIII be IN ac-
cord with them.
"Wiii YOU please Tell me the amount
Of sleep for baby Of months Of
age?" queries Mrs. H. B. d. He sleeps
from Z pm. to z am. and has nap
In the morning. He gets very sleepy In
the afternoon, but i try to keep him
from sleeping then. get so much good
from your articles"
hope that nothing have ever said
has influenced you to take such fool
ish step as to prevent q child from
sleeping. A baby Of this age should
sleep IL hours at night and should nap
from or 10 o'clock to IL In the morn
ing. perhaps longer, besides short nap
In the afternoon. In fact he should be
put to bed regularly after each nurs-
ing and allowed to sleep his fill. Sleep
ing habits are established by the baby
II he Is given these regular opportuni-
ties to sleep. We have never felt that
forcibly keeping child awake ever inn
proved his ability to sleep at night.
That is governed entirely by his COM
fort, his regular habits, his diet and,
therefore, his satisfaction.
We have a leafiet on THE Average
Number of Hours Children Sleep" This
may be secured by sending self-ad-
dressed, stamped envelope to this de-
partment with your request for 1t. And
don't forget the stamped envelopei
No child should ever be kept awake.
Sometimes after the first year the child
himself refuses to nap twice daily; then
we feel 1t wise to rearrange the nap
periods and put this one nap in the
middle of the day. At two years he
may. Of his own accord, spurn mapping
altogether. Then rest period will take
F., the place of the nap period to avert
! fatigue. These are natural, not forced
| changes.

to prove that he had been there, was
too provoking.
Whitefoot pretended to be as anx-
ious as Peter to find that singer. and
kept asking over and over what the
song was like. you'll have to hear it,"
said Peter. II just can't tell you what
it is like. If you'll just stay here In
stead of running of every few minutes
perhaps you'll hear it."
So Whitefoot agreed that he would
stay to watch and listen. II think 1t
viii be best if we keep out of sight,
said he. "You sit under that little hem
lock tree and I'll sit in the hollow top
of this old stump"
Peter thought this a good idea. So
he sat under the little hemlock tree,
where he could peep out without the
likelihood of being seen, and Whitefoot
disappeared in the top Of the old
stump. For long time nothing hap
pened. Then as Peter was almost
ready to give up he heard that mys-
terious little song again. AS had hap
pened before, it sounded as If 1t came
from that old stump or from behind it.
Peter looked eagerly in that direction
and saw Whitefoot come scrambling TO
the top Of the old stump.
"I heard it! heard it," cried White
see the singer? oh, Peter, did you see
the singer?"
mo" replied Peter in tone of deep
disgust. You ought to have, though,
unless you were taking a nap"
"Of course / wasn't taking nap"
snapped Whitefoot Indignantly. What
do you mean by saying that ought to
have seen that singer. What about
YOURSELF"
Il haven't been sitting on that old
stump and that is where that song
came from, or from just back OF 1t"
retorted Peter Had been sitting up
have let that singer get away without
being SEEN"
Whitefoot tried to appear indignant,
but he was too full Of chuckles to APP
pear very angry. He was so fun OF
chuckles that he Just had to turn his
back to Peter. He pretended to be
looking in the bushes and small trees
back Of the old stump. He was still
sitting there when that song was heard
again.
"There!" cried Peter, rushing out
from his hiding-place. Where Is he,
Whitefoot? You must have seen him
this time! II that song didn't come
from somewhere about that old stump
may ! never hop another step. What
are you chuckling so about?"
"A little Joke" chuckled Whitefoot.
"Just q little joke. I don't suppose 1t
has ever entered that funny head OF
yours that that singer might not wear
| feathers"
whats ttat?" cried Peter as fun
ny look, a look Of mingled suspicion
and unbelief, crossed his face.
