Highhanded Tactics
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
About three months ago got
hold of a novel where the saint
ly hero gave up the girl because
he was too poor to marry her
or take her out. This book
crossed my path when I was
feeling quite down in the
mouth" so did the same thing
with my best girl-staged a
farewell. This. in spite OF the
fact that she was very far from
a "gold-digger," and never sug.
gested my spending a penny on
her.
Well, I managed to keep
away for about three months,
and when I broke my VOW and
went back, I found she had con-
soled herself with another fell
low. This reused my fighting
blood, and I'm trying to take
her by storm.
I go to her house and wait
for her to come back with my

Bow Legs

Dear Miss Shelby:
Will you inform me how I
can straighten my bow legs?
Sincerely, j. w.
Dear j. W.:
Try this exercise which Army
and Navy training schools use
to correct bowlegs.
Stand erect with the torso
drawn to full height, arms hang
ing relaxed, feet about one inch
apart. Without moving the
feet, tense the muscles Of the
legs and thighs and slowly
push the knees as close together
as you can. Relax.
Do this 20 times. Rest. Do
it again. 1t is not a quick
remedy, but it is better than
wearing braces which is the
only other method of correc-
ton with which I am familiar.
Enlarged Pores
Dear Miss Shelby:
Is there anything you could
recommend to close enlarged
pores of long standing? What
The Washington times., 1934-09-08
Juliet SheIby's Beauty Counsel

will fill holloWS IN the tleSh!
Sincerely, E. H.
Dear Miss E. H.:
A good astringent, cold water
and Immaculate cleanliness will
help close the pores and keep
the skin fine-textured. Clean
pores automatically close. Watch
your diet, your elimination,
drink lots of water. Get all
the fresh air and exercise pos
Sible to stimulate circulation.
This brings up the blood,
makes the pores more active,
improves the texture and color
of the skin. This will also
help correct dark circles which
are due to lack of rest and
sleep, poor circulation or per-
haps low vitality and run
down condition.
Congresses of cotton drenched
with ice water, then with witch
hazel, are good local treat
ment. Smooth a little cream
around the eyes first.
Cocoa butter and toilet lano-
lin are recommended for fill
ing in holloWS.
Unpleasant Breath
Dear Miss Shelby:
What can I use to correct
an unpleasant taste in my
mouth? I am quite sure am
causing offense to people with
whom 1 come in contact. Sim
cerely, j. Z.
Dear j. E.:
If you are suffering from
halitosiS, my advice is that you
be examined by your doctor
and your dentist. 1t is pos
sible you have a decayed tooth
that is causing the unpleasant
odor, or some internal de
rangement that is upsetting
your digestion.
An old-fashioned mouthwash
is made with tepid water in
which two grains of perman-
ganate of potash have been
dissolved. Personally, I think
the standard antiseptic mouth
wash lotions are more efficient
and pleasant to use.
Hair Bleach
Dear Miss Shelby:
Can you tell me how I can
bleach my rather dark hair? I
have tried peroxide, but I was
discouraged at the result. Sin
cerely, CUTIE.
Dear Cutie:
If I cannot dissuade you from
bleaching your hair, 1 can at
least tell you of the most harm
less method I know.
To 10 tablespoonsfuls of per
oxide add two tablespoonfulS Of
ordinary ammonia. Beat until
cloudy. Apply the lotion to
freshly shampooed hair, before
it is quite dry, with piece OF
absorbent cotton.
Part the hair and apply to en-.
tire length. Pin up each strand
after applying the bleach Sit
in a dry room mot in the SUM
until the hair is thoroughly dry.

The God of Gasoline

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Has Cupid dropped his bow
and arrow as a symbol of love
and taken to gasoline? I'm not
a gasoline addict. I have no
car nor do care to own one at
this stage of the game-there-
fore I have no girl. When I
invite a dame to the movies,
she demands: where's your
carp" And when I tell her I
haven't one, I'm regarded as a
piker.
If I invite a girl out and it
rains, call cab. Street cars
and buses, which are good
enough for me, apparently are
not good enough for the ladies.

Victim of Gossip

Dear Miss Fairfax:
am 18 and like Jamie very
much. He is about six or seven
years older. From things he
says that come back to me, I
gather he accuses me of doing
him a wrong or having some
thing on him" (Which I haven't
although I think he still likes
me.
Would you please advise me
how to go about finding out the
truth? I know the circum-
stances, and have tried 70 ex-
plain them to him several
times, but without avail. I'd
thank you for your kind help.
MARY FRAN.
You haven't told me enough
to give you any satisfactory
suggestions. If Jamie, six or
seven years older, has gone
around to your friends accus-
ing you of having done some
thing of which you're guiltlesS,
that would finish him for me,
if I were in your place.
It's unbelievable, the number
of young people who write to
me and say someone has told
lies on me" or someone has
made trouble for me" with
sweetheartS or even husbands
and wives.
They forget, these willing lis.
teners to trouble makers, that
love is founded on trust. And
it's a pretty poor substitute for
the real article if you believe
everything gossips whisper.
