Ever since I was child I have had deep lines under my eyes. Now lines are beginning to show around my. mouth and on my forehead, too. Please advise me."-Mrs r. G., Conn.
 am afraid you have not given your skin the proper care. It seems from your description, to be very dry, and that means cream, and more cream and still more.
 Lines that have been present since early childhood are difficult to smooth away. They can be made less noticeable however, If you use Il good youthifying tissue cream underneath the eyes every night, and as many times during the day as you can.
 If the skin is slightly stimulated before your tissue cream Is ap- piled, 1t will penetrate much more easily. A youthifying stimulant therefore, just touched to the area under the eyes and around the mouth, should precede the ap- plication of. the cream. Tor while, I would suggest that you use only 6 special blend of pasteurized cream for cleansing, since that is the most soothing and softening cleansing cream for dry skin.

 The effect of cooking on the vit- amin and mineral content of com mon vegetables has been studied by number of investigators in nu- triton and they have made inter- esting and valuable reports.
 Experiments have shown that the method of cooking, the man. ner in which vegetables are cut for cooking, the extent of surface ex- posed during cooking and the gen. eral care observed in cooking and serving have much to do with the loss of flavor. minerals and food value of cooked vegetables.
 The mineral loss of vegetables classed among roots and tubers" Is less than for those known as stalks and leaves" Cabbage, celery, beet greens and onions are the heaviest losers of minerals during cooking. Although spinach loses none of its calcium, 1t does lose much of It's iron content un- less properly cooked. Practically all the minerals lost from vege- tables remain In the water In which they are cooked. This Is why 1t is so important to utilize the water.
 Exposure Kills Vitamins The destruction of vitamins Is caused more generally by expos- ure to air than by heating, but not all the vitamins are susceptible to these factors. A plant source of vitamin A Is less liable to injury by exposure to air than an animal source Is. In fact, most foods suf- fer little loss of vitamin A when properly cooked.
 Vitamin B remains unchanged by heat as long as the natural acidity of a food Is maintained. AS the acid is neutralized this vita min is rapidly destroyed and Its destruction becomes complete in a strongly alkaline solution with in an hour.
 Exposure to air and the dura- tion of the heating period have marked effect on the destruction of yitamin C.. Heat alone, even at a high temperature, causes but a small percentage of loss of vita min c in foods.
 Baking's Kind to Viatmins Prolonged cooking is the cause of unnecessary loss of all three vitamins.
 So far as is known, vitamins D and B are likely to be affected by ordinary cooking methods. Baking is recognized as the best method of preserving all minerals Next comes steaming or pressure cooking. The method which taxes the skill of the cook is the one of cooking in as small an amount o1 water as is possible to prevent burning until the vegetable is ten- der and letting the water cook away until only enough is left to moisten the vegetable for serving This method closely resembles steaming. for most of the extract. ed nutrients cling to the vegetable BREAKFAST: Chilled melon cereal. cream. baked French toast honey. milk, coffee.

The school teacher plays an im- portant part in developing health habits and attitudes among his pupils. Children respect the opinions of their teachers and will listen to their teachers counsel in health matters. However, itN N necessary lor parents to cooperate if permanent results are to be at tained.
 The school health program usu- ally includes information concern ing the health of teeth. Pupils are informed that diet, mouth clearli- ness, dental care, attention to health practices influence the health of the mouth.
 When teaching the dietary needs of the growing child to build sound teeth, the following food factors are stressed - calcium, and phos- phorus two mineral elements that make up more than 90 per cent of the tooth enamel. These minerals are best obtained in milk dairy products and egg yolk.
 Three vitamins are needed par ticularly for tooth health: 4

DAINTINESS FIRST
 CHARM REQUISITE
 You cant be charming and beau- tiful unless you are neat, well groomed and fastidious.
 Little personal habits which make for daintiness are all-impor- tant to the woman who likes to feel, as well as look, well turned out.
 If your supply of deodorants has run low, by all means include one or two good brands when you re- plenish your beauty cabinet for fall. The strong, liquid varieties need to be used only twice Q week. And there are little deodorant sticks which can be carried in your purse or kept in your desk at the office, insuring you of perfect pro- lection against precipitation odors.
 Care of Clothes
 Keep your clothes cleaned and pressed. There Is simply no excuse for a woman who wears dresses that are wrinkled or underwear that Is soiled. It takes only few minutes to press a frock and 1t is time we'll spent. Underthings can be washed every night, and with very little trouble. If you feel that you can't stand the expense of dry cleaning. wear washable dresses But 1t Is a mistaken idea to think that money spent on keeping your clothes fresh and neat is money wasted.
 Everyone needs a bath a day. Ii you have time to take warm bath at night and cool shower ir the morning, so much the better However for purposes of simple cleanliness, one will suffice.

 And I mean 1t. The very first in-

Der effects in a fall collection and 1t is unavoidably less gay, less alive than a summer one. That is why I have always thought 1t useful, even necessary, to intro duce vivid touches Of color in winter models.
 Another point to bear in mind, from the creators point of view. is that 1t Is almost impossible to prevent most women from wear- ing black for winter. Its advan- tages are indisputable and that is why every winter color I en- deavor to introduce is selected with the object of replacing black to a certain extent. Hence my "wild blackberry" of this season.
 Some people may object that winter modes should not try to emulate summer modes, and vice versa. This is perfectly correct, Doe thc o4AACAtACC Ah 4dbt A@0 VAh- ployed is sufficient to offset any possible resemblance. Take the combination of back and white. This, on first thought, may ap- pear essentially summer feature but this can very well be done on winter dress.

 Winter fabrics of today have lost any monotony of expression that they may have once pos- sessed. Every season brings with 1t some technical novelty which provides an added feature and is of considerable assistance in the actual creation of a model.

Sue knew that there had been | no misunderstanding. She knew that Kenneth Corbett had dclib- erately planned to make her ape pear guilty of the shooting. He had wanted to humiliate her. to torture her, to see her suffer since she wouldn't fall into the trap that he had set.
 But she stood waiting, calmly. for him to finish his apologies.
 "You don't believe me, do yours he broke off to ask.
 '.No, why should I? I grew up and stopped believing in Santa Claus and fairy godmothers - oh, ever so long ago. But shouldn't detain you. Your arm must be hurting" She kept her voice so light, so airy, so gay that 1t seemed to her that if the door into the room had been suddenly opened the voice would have blown down the corridor and away into noth- ling.
 Trying to be gallant, aren't you" Corbett asked. T admire your coolness. Most women would scream and rage and make a fuss. Somehow think you-~almost un- derstand."

 Sut smiled again. You make to be offered to idols. It wasn't pure any more."
 "So you went to church once up- on time, and remembered things? Maybe that is what Is wrong with you" The mans eyes were taunt- ing.
 1T still go," Sue told him. 'Tt would be an interesting experi- ence for you, Mir Corbett. You don't need to rent a pew. Just drop in some time. Now goodbye"
 He made move to rise, but she had closed the door. She pressed the button until the ele- vator came.

 "Why? Do people have the habit of running away from things around here?" Sue asked, ignoring the boldness of the boys question.
 "Oh, know - you're the dame that was wanted in that little , shooting fracas, aren't you Get off all right? Promise to play his way?"
 , Sues cheeks were burning with angry color. She threw her head higher. She didn't answer the in- , sulting question. Instead she hur- ried down to the room which she , had occupied, unlocked the door, grabbed her bags and went back 1 to the elevators. She rang and decided that she wouldn't go down , in the car of the operator who had , brought her up. But his car came first.
 He didn't speak to her this ! time. He just opened the door and :. waited.
 Flushing angrily, she tugged at her heavy bags. At least he could have helped her, she thought. :, NEXT: Sue makes her train.

emphatically. "well have Q sir and bite and a dance or two" All right, I'll wait for you here in the car,' Eve said as she step- ped out to let Mona alight.
 The other girl grew impatient She took Eyes arm and pushed her toward the entrane. "Oh, come out of your character" she snapped,
 Eve entered with them. After all, none. of her friends were likely to see her here, she thought with relief. The place looked rather questionable to her. The lights were colored and gave a dim effect. Little booths lined the walls and they entered one of them. There were benches and a table of. rough wood. badly scared with carved initials. Overhead hung great clusters of colored autumn leaves now curled and brittle. In the center of the room. few couples danced to the music of a jazz band which came. over the radio. Eve was surprised when Mona and Miller ordered sandwiches and coffee. It had been such short time since dinner. At first Eve re- fused to order anything but later she compromised and asked the waiter to bring her q pineapple ice.
 "Will you excuse us while we dancer" Miller asked as he and Mona arose.
 No sooner were they on the floor and out of sight than Theron Recce appeared in the entrance of the booth. Eve was startled.
 Don't be afraid of me-" he said smoothly. T won't tell your hubby I found you here. Expecting some- one?"
 You know I'm not" she ans- wered heatedly.
 "Then you can't mind if sit down." he responded. You must be pretty lonely. Will you have a drink?" He pulled a flash from his hip pocket.
 Eve felt trapped. It was a first class litle frame-up, she. thought. She had not been aware that Reece was in town but apparently he kept in touch with Mona. Oh, why did they take such delight in mak- ing her uncomfortable? Was 1t be. cause she made no effort to con. ceal her dislike for Reece? Now the incident of Mona's automobile accident, came to Eyes mind. Ar. lene had always suspected that tho man in the case was Reece. Int injured man must have recovered as no more had been heard of the affair. But what might this nights events lead to? Eve was more than sorry she had accepted Mona's in: vitation. '.~ArIIEI
