Chapped lips and rough hands
are certainly not attractive, and
there are some simple treat
mentS which may be used to
prevent the condition.
No matter how perfectly
shaped the lips are, they cannot
be considered beautiful unless
they are of satin smoothness.
And if the lips are chapped, and
the condition ignored, they are
very apt to split and bleed,
which is not only unsightly, but
very painful.
For Protection
Therefore the skin must be
given plenty of fabrication. Be-
fore retiring at night, a gener-
Gus coating of camphor ice, cold
cream, nourishing cream or lano-
lin should remain on all night.
During the daytime, a greasy
lpStick should be used. If you
write to me will be very glad
to give you the name of several
which are quite greasy.
A dry lipstick only tends to
make the lips worse, and it does
not give them the necessary pro
lection. If you have a pet dry
hpstick which you hate to dis
card, at least apply some good
lubricant under your hpstick.
We have found that half
and half mixture of glycerine
and rose water compromises an
excellent remedy for chapped
lips. A generous amount of this
should be applied to the lips
before retiring and left on over
night.
Lotions
The next morning all the
loose chapped bits of skin can
be easily removed by gently
rubbing the lips with soft
cloth or a bit of cleansing tissue.
The rose water and glycerine
lotion may also be used SPAR
1ngly on the lips under your
Gpstick to help keep the skin
firm and alluring.
AS for your hands, almost
any good lubricating cream,
massaged we'll into the skin at
night will prevent roughness.
This cream, whatever it may
happen to be, may serve two
purposes.
You can also massage it into
the base of your fingernails to
keep the cuticle soft so that
your manicures will be more
effective.
We would suggest that you
use a rather oily cream for the
purpose, one that is quite soft
and may be easily absorbed in
to the pores of the skin. If you
are bothered by not knowing the
name of a good cream, we will
be glad to furnish you with the
name of one.

Lastex, as you no doubt know,
is a new type of thread with
real elasticity. 1t is not rubber,
but is made from the milk of
the rubber plant. 1t is durable,
can stand heat, holds its shape,
and can be used with wool,
silk, rayon, or any other textile
to make an elastic fabric.
Woven Right In
Garments made with laStex
in them may be cleaned and
pressed, will hold their shape,
but look just the same as if
they had no other thread in
them than the wool, silk or
cotton of which they're made.
Furthermore, fabrics may be
made to look just the same
with and without lasteX, so
that you can use the plain fab
ric where you want no stretch
mess, but use the lastex. fabric
where you need some give.
4EOuSCES 14UlU 1ECSS
Mems clothes with woven-in
lastex threads are called 'liv-
ing clothes, because they really
seem to live on you, like your
own skin. All men who put
them on instantly remark on
how comfortable they are.
There's no binding through
the knees, through the shoul-
ders, at the waist or anywhere.
Yet they hold their shape and
appearance, and the trousers
hold their crease better than
ordinary fabrics.
For Sweaters Too
Lastex is used in other gar
mentS as we'll as in suits. It
holds the neckline, waist and
wrists snug in sweaters. It
makes garters and suspenderS
that are more elastic, more dur
able, more comfortable.
Predictions have it in the top
of Sox, in underclothes, in hats
soon, but these things are yet
to come.
In Many Weaves
The suit photographed looks
like any other smart fall suit,
yet it is one of these new civ
ing" suits.
The weaves available in town
now with lastex woven in are in
plain materials. plaids or pen
Gil stripes, in brown, grays or
blues. Suits are priced $45.
Overcats at the same price
are available too, and are par
ticularly practical because they
give in the shoulder for driving,
or other exercise. Suspenders
at 81 and $3.50 may be had in
lastex, and garters are soc,
some of them in the same pat
terms as the suspenders. Won

Holiday Pudding Time

Although Christmas is still
six weeks away and the pros

hanging holly wreaths may seem

right consistency and flavor only
after they have been packed
away for a month or longer.
Christmas shopping is bound
to demand more and more time

Manners
BY MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN
AcCeptanceS

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I have received an invitation
to a church wedding, also to the
reception. I find that I will be
unable to attend. It will be
necessary for me to answer at
the earliest possible moment. I
am acquainted with the groom
to-be "a business associate), but
have never met the bride-to-be.
Please tell me what form to use
in writing my regret. S.
I take it for granted that the
invitation was the conventional
formal engraved one, and to
this formal invitation to the
reception, you write a formal
acknowledgment. (The invita-
tion to the reception is the one
that is acknowledged, for we do
not need to acknowledge the in
vitation to the church cere-
mony.)
Write your regret on formal
letter paper, and word it like
this:
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Robin
son regret very much that they
are unable to accept Mr.. and
Mrs. brides ParentS)'s kind
invitation for Tuesday, the first
of November.
The fact that you have never
met the bride -to-be or her par
ents does not make any differ
ence in the form Of your
acknowledgment, since the in
vitation, I take for granted, was
sent out by them.

In what way should a girl Of

Her Silence Is Getting the
Best of Him

Dear Miss Fairfax:
A girl to whom am engaged
has gone away for two or three
years. At the end of this time
we planned to be married. She
has my fraternity pin; there
was no ring given as we wished
to keep the engagement to our
selves.
In the first two weeks after
she left, I received five letters
from her, but now it's a month
since I've heard word. have
written every week, and in the
last letter asked what was the
matter, but even that brought
no reply. This situation has
gotten the best of me; I am
blue and uneasy. Do you think
she's the type that likes to
break a mans heart for fun?
She didn't seem like that when
she was here. c. T.
You're entitled to an eXplana-
ton, whatever may have hap
pened, even if she discovered
she cares less for you than she
imagined before she went away.
Why not write her a registered
letter and ask for a receipt.
which will inform you whether
she has not received it. I don't
really believe that, outside Of
novels, girls really break hearts
for the sport of it, but some:
times they are mistaken in their
feelings. I hope this isn't the
case with your girl. Write
again and tell me how things
have turned out.

Love|orn
BY Beatrice Fairfax
He Still Has Her Ring

Dear Miss Fairfax:
The first time I met him was
almost a year ago. He was very
nice and asked me to Ncite to
him, which I didn't do. V saw
him at party month later
and he paid more attention to
me than the girl he brought.
Again, 1 met him at a dance in
neighborhood town; he asked
to bring me home, but had to
return with my escort. Later
he came to see me Che lives in
another city, and he took my
ring, saying he would give it
back next time we met. He has
made three dates with me but
hasn't kept any of them.
Why does he act this way?
I have asked him to return my
ring, but he hasn't done so.
His brother. whom I asked
about the ring, doesn't know
why he hasn't returned it.
IMPATIENT
Goodness only knows what
happens to boys who behave in
this unaccountable way. Some
times it means that they are
so thrilled with growing up,
having dates with girls and
having to use a razor occa-
sionally, that they seem to
"leave the rails" temporarily.
There was no excuse for this
young mans not returning your
ring after you'd asked for it,
and I hope it has no very great
intrinsic value. Many girls
have written me they've lost
their rings in this fashion.
Write him a registered letter
and request return receipt. In
this way you'll be certain
whether he receives it or not.
In it, gently, but firmly, ask for
the return of your ring. And
please don't lend rings to boys
Cif they're valuable) unless
you're engaged to them.
Father Objects to Divorced Man
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am very much in love with
a man of %, who has been mar
ried and is now divorced. The
other night I went to party
with him at a neighbor'S house,
and when returned my father
raised Cain with me for going
out with a man who has a liv-
ing wife and two children. But
as my friend is divorced I see
no reason why we should not
go together. I am II yeats of
age and. as you see, he is II
years older. Have divorced peo-
pie the right to marry in my
State? MARY.
It seems to me, as you are
only II years of age and a de-
pendent in your fathers home,
that you would take his ad-
vice in regard to this particu-
lar man. And you should GER
tainly find out something about
the divorce, whether it was
granted to him or to his wife,
and the amount of alimony
that the court requires him to
pay for the support of his
children.
Seventeen is pretty young to
marry in the best of circum-
stances, and with all these OBJ
jections it seems to me like a
very unwise venture. Divorced
people have the right to re-
marry in every State, unless
the court restricts the marriage
of certain individuals for what
it regards as good and suffi-
cient reasons.

ARMOUR TRYING
FOR NEW PLAN

CHICAGO, Nov. 10 G.NS0.-1n
an effort to eliminate legal OBJ
stacles to the payment of accrued
preferred dividends justified by
earnings, Armour & Co., OF IL
linois, is formulating a new plan
providing for readjustment OF
fixed assets, valuations and cap
ital structure.
No action was taken today on
accumulated unpaid preferred div
idends, as a new business cor
poration law of Illinois provides
that a corporation shall not pay
dividends unless net assets are
in excess of stated capital. both
before and after payment of such
dividends.
Officials, following the directors
meeting, gave no indication as
to the probable general outline
of the proposed capital and asset
Establishments, as it is still in a
rough stage. Submission of the
plan, it appears, will be held over
for the annual stockholders meet
ing, January &c, 1884.
