DEAR MISS WHITE.

DEAR MISS WHITE: 81 am a
young woman, 27 years old, and am
placed in a peculiar position.
There are two men who wish to
marry me.
One has an excellent position,
plenty of money and could give me
wonderful home.
The other one hasn't so much,
and the home that he could furnish
would be far from luxurious, but |
love this man.
| respect the first man, however,
and am undecided to know which
one to marry.
I'm old enough to know that love
isn't everything and it soon flies out
of the window if some money does nj
come in through the door via the coat
pocket, but-what shall | do?
suppose | could be happy with
either-they're both fine young men
and we have been friends for years
Common sense tells ME to marry
the man who could give me every
thing, but my heart tells me to mar
ry the one | love. What do vol
advise IN DOUBT.
Ny advice would be to marry tn
man you love, by all means.
Marriage at its best calls for per
petual sacrifice; and the one thin
which can take the sting out of tn
darker moments of life will be low
for your husband.
To prepare a dinner for the ma
you adore may be a pleasure; but t
prepare food over hot stove for
man you just tolerate, is boredom
because it is only being done fror
sense of duty.
Marry the man you love, becaus
it will bring romance into your lif
and you may never have to leav
, your own fireside to search for it.
. Marry the man you love, becaus
it means that you probably will sta
married until the end, and with
; wife who loves her husband, a
things are possible.
The man you "adore" now ma
be able in time to give you as mue

Beauty Hints

ESTELLE G.: A depilatory may
be used to remove the hair from
the arms and legs. 1t is true the
hair grows back again, but you have
temporary relief, and can repeat the
treatment when necessary.
j. s.: Whiteheads require the
same treatment as blackheads. First
apply hot towels, then open each
blemish with a sterilized needle and
extract the contents. Daub on pc
roxide, and gently massage with cold
cream.
MRS. H. s.: Exposure to the
suns rays is excellent for an oily
skin. Astringent masks are recon-
mended, too. An effective mask is
| made with Fullers earth, which may
be purchased at drug store. Mix
it with witch hazel until you have
smooth paste. Apply it to the
skin and let it STAY on until it hard
ems. To remove the clay, immense
the face in a bowl of tepid water.
! MARY C.: You may develop the
arms and bust by exercise which
require movement of the arms and
1 shoulders.
L. B. TO remove blaekheads, scrub
the affected parts with warm water
and bland soap, using a complex
| ion brush. Rinse in warm water
| then cold water II possible give the
] face an ice rub.

much stress on the little things. 1t
would be nice to have him do that
know, but, after all, those things
are the fluff" of life, aren't they?
1t seems to me a bit unreasonable
for YOU to expect him to send you
flowers and candy and pay for them
out of his lunch money, if he passes
over his weekly salary to you. No,
you wouldn't rather have him pay
the bills-you would much prefer to
have the arrangements as -.they are
now. Buy yourself a flower once IN
while if you crave them, and re-
member that he has given you the
money with which to purchase 1t.
R.-Why not wait until she is
older? She doesn't really know what
she wants for a husband yet, and
even though you are very sure she Is
the one for you, YOU may not be the
one for her. She may be crazy about
you today and wonder what in th'
world she saw in you to like, tomor
