BY JULIET SHELBY

It is about this time Of the
season that you wish to heaven
you hadn't gone in for a sum-
mer tan! Your skin is notified
and Speckled, and when you
look at your body in a full
length mirror, you look like a
checkerboard in brown and
white.
The tan on your legs and
thighs doesn't matter, but those
shoulders and arms, and neck
and chest-if they do not bleach
out evenly you will never look
alluring in the new fall eve
ming gowns!
Unless you plan to hop off
ON a Southern cruise immedi'
ately, or keep sun bathing until
the Palm Beach season begins,
I think you should scientifically
bleach your skin and keep it
well fabricated with rich, soft
ening cream. It will be rather
novel to be fair-Skinned again.
and it gives you fresh chance
to be another personality!
A delightful and effective skin
bleach is a paste which will
tighten the color of your skin
and leave it more fresh and
fair after a single treatment.
After cleansing the skin, you
spply this paste evenly, as you
would q mask, making sure to
keep it off your lashes and
brows. You don't want those
bleached.
For IS or 20 minutes keep
the paste on your skin, moist
ened with a little warm water.
Sponge it off with warm water
and apply a. skin-toning lotion.
A weekly application will
keep your skin fresh, glowing
and free of discolorationS. You
girls with a light sprinkling of
freckles might try it-Some-

time he was quite attentive to
me, but I don't know what has
happened now, for he doesn't
ask me for any more dates.
The only time I see him is
when there's a crowd around,
and then he seems attentive to
me once more. What shall I
do about this? He is 20. PIG.
Perhaps the young man
thought that the affair was be-
coming too serious for one Of
your tender years, and that it
might be just as well to slow up
in his attentions to you.
He must still be interested, or
he would not single you out for
his attentions when you are in
a group. At 16, one can afford
to be little patient, don't you
think so?

How to Teach
Pet Dog to
Garry
BY LIZ HUME

The dog begging so earnestly
for a morsel is pictured with
his mistress, Mrs. Maurice Fftz-
maurice Day. Unusually smart,
any type Of terrier makes an
ideal pet.
Most dogs like to carry things
and can be taught to do so with
patience on the part Of the
owner.
Place the article you wish car
ried in your dogs mouth. Hold
ing it there, lead him along for
a few steps, and then praise him
and reward him for his action.
If the dog will not open his
mouth then pass the right hand
over his jaws and, with the
thumb on one side and the fin
gers on the other, force his lips
against his teeth. This will cause
him to open his mouth and the
object you wish carried can be
inserted. Then make him hold
it by supporting the lower jaw
with one hand while you stroke
his head with the other.
The hand which supports the
jaw should gradually give it less
and less support and be moved
back toward the neck until fl
nally you are simply stroking
the lower jaw. Then remove the
hand altogether.
After the dog will hold the OBJ
ject you give him, he can be
made to take a few steps, grad
ually increasing the distance.
But whenever he let's go Of the
object, it should be promptly
replaced.
Be careful not to give him
articles to carry which are too
heavy. Praise him when he
does well and be sure not to con-
tinue the lessons too long.

been trained to prefer the
healthier foods, then naturally
they will choose the sweets
especially if the school does not
offer a counter-attraction.
It was found, in this survey,
that most of the children who
brought a part lunch, had about
3 to S cents extra to spend on
supplementary food.
With a school lunch room in
well trained hands, it should be
possible, the bureau says, TO
provide one very good, nourish-
ing hot dish for the 3 to 5 cents
those children spent on trash"
Bearing in mind that the
school would provide this hot
main dish, every day, and that 1t
would consist mainly Of soups.
stews, farinaceous foods in COM
bination with meat or fish-the
mother could wisely send her
child off with a little raw fruit,
a bread and butter sandwich,
and a thermos of milk, knowing
that his dietary needs would
thus be completely taken care OF.
Wise Guidance
The cost of these main dishes
as served by the school will,
naturally, vary with the locality,
and may change slightly from
week to week.
At present Washington prices,
which are higher than the food
prices in many other large cities,
the cost of these dishes ranges
from 11a to AZ cents per serv"
ing.
And how much better for the
welfare Of the child, and for the
mothers peace Of mind, to have
him not only fed and satisfied
but safely in school with his
fellows, rather than hanging
around the corner store, or the
candy slot machine, listening to
much that Is not for his ears,
and absorbing trash" mentally
as well as orally.
In my opinion, the more the
children Of today are kept off
the streets, and under wise and
careful guidance, the better for
the coming American genera
tons!

The parents and teachers
should guide the children in
their choice of foods which they
may purchase. and the children
themselves should spend their
lunch money on healthgiving
foods-rather than on pop and
crackers and sweets.
A survey by a Massachusetts,
committee, composed Of public
health officials, extension work
erS, etc., which reported upon
sos schools in IS cities and
towns, gives us some interesting
statistics.
Important Points
They found that more than
$1,000 children In these schools
either brought their entire
lunch, and supplemented it with
something bought at the corner
store during the noon hour.
Right there. Of course. in what
the children brought and what
they bought. lie important
Only a little more than a
quarter of the children had
milk at lunch.
Only IS per cent had raw
fruits and very few had cooked
fruits. Only IL per cent had
cooked vegetables-few had raw
ones.
only 10 per cent had egg,
meat, or fish. Only II per cent
had a hot dish Of any kind.

there?
what did the majority Of
them choose to supplement?
It was found that in one

Sweets-very few milk. The

and chocolate bars.

Dear Miss e. P:
An all purpose cream is per"

But I would not advise using it
over three nights week. On the
other nights use a mild complex

q complexion brush to wash the
face. Follow this with an as
