Within the past week at least a dozen readers have complained a. bout blackheads and other com plexion blemishes. Most of them are quite worried, of course, and for that reason I am goin to re- peat an old beauty routine.
 First, let me say aain that soap and water are the reatest enemies of blackheads. This doesn't mean that they never appear on skin that is ccrupulously clean. Unfortunate ly, they sometimes do, but never as frequently as on a face that is washed in a haphazard manner
 Get a complexion brush and each night before you go to bed father your face with bland soap suds. Then, using the little brush massage 1t gently, particularly in the area where blackheads or whiteheads appear.
 When you have finished. use very hot water to rinse off all o1 the father. Now, covering the forefingers with clean pieces oi cloth, carefully press the dirt out of the clogged pores. DO not pinch os squeeze the skin too vigorously and don't try to remove all the blemishes the first night. Simply remove the ones that come ou easily.
 Rinse with cold water or elst massage gently with a piece of ic' that has been wrapped in cotton When the skin is cold and tingling pat each place that you hav' sqeezed with some kind of anti septic. If you have a good pore cream, smooth a little of it or your skin. Otherwise, go to bet without any cream or lotion. | l the treatment tends to make you face seem dry, pat on tissue cream l in the morning.

 Long skirts, short skirts. tight skirts, full skirts, even hemllnes anu hemlines as uneven as. saw teeth and scallops; prints and pam colors, stripes, dots and plaids; cartwheel hats, skullca ps. poke Donnets, jockey caps, Eugenie dippers and Coolie hats with points cut off and held on by a strap of rippoh or straw across the head.
 Leg O mutton sleeves bigger and prayer than we've ever had them Defore, even when Grandma was nere; puTed sleeves to the elbow so puny that coats have to be sieeveless to be worn with them at all.
 Fabrics include everything from corset material to the heaviest and costlest of brocaded satin, faille, .aHeta 4both printed and plain), ana all the in-between things such as lace and net. silk, satin-and cailco prints in taffeta and faille- Wlth lots of cotton, linen, pique and-faced fabrics.
 AS for accessories, we don't know whether we've eaten dope by mistake or whether 1t is quite safe yet to believe what we've seen belt buckles and things made of miniature sheafs of wheat, metal nars of music with the notes and lines done in white enamel against a background of black, and but tons of little tiny metal clefs (sug- gesting. doubtless, that the cos. tune Is full of harmonyO.

frosted glass plate with lights un- derneath, so that no other illu- imitation is needed for dining. The table was especially made, but the chairs, each with four tubular legs and upholstery of green leather, were factory-built, yet are so well designed and executed that they fit into the luxurious scheme.
 Built-in glass shelves and a buff fet of macassc ebony wood and white lacquer constitute the only other furniture of the room. The metal note Is repeated in the met al handles on the buffet drawers, and sea-green glass bricks, in back Of the dining table. furnish an- other modern decorative note.
 Throughout this house metal rooms, especially in the case of coffee tables with glass or metal tops, important for serving not only coffee but tea and cocktail. Metal in these cases has the ad- vantage of being unbreakable, light, and impervious to ashes, hot water or alcohol. Also, the various metal alloys have been perfected to such an extent that they can be worked into many more interesting shapes than even the most pliable wood.
 Few hostesses go to the lengths or one who had her ancient solid silver tea set plated in her enthusiasm for hte metal, but aluminium, copper and chromium are certainly being used a great deal for coffee and tea services. StPcnRth E0 yOrs MofnI

They still like 1t oxidized or covered with colored enamel--a slightly de. generate taste which Mr Wright trusts will pass.

 Later her maid told her.
 "Lizzie over at the Smiths says Mir and Mrs had another awful fight. She says she is going to leave him. And he told her if she left and took Mary they would starve to death.

 These are the almost wicked l things we allow to ruin our chil- dren's happiness. If enough such experiences occur in their lives the effect is bound to be ruinous Telling a little boy or girl "to wait until your daddy comea | home" is cruel and unkind.

You never know-if you lis- ten you may learn something. 1 ask just one favor of you-if, in spite of my long years of experi- ence at this, lapse into medica- lese, please stop me. The most tiresome bore is the one who asks doctor to explain something and then pretends to understand when he cant possibly know what the doctor is talking about.
 Nutrition is function of living plants and animals, consisting in the ingestion or taking in of nutri- ment, pabulum. food, nourishment, and the assimilation of material through chemical changes called metabolism; this material being used in the body for production of heat or energy, for repair of wear and tear, for growth and for new construction or reproduction. Successive stages of metabolism are commonly known as digestion, absorption, assimilation and ex- cretion or elimination. Excretion or elimination is effected through de- location, urination, sweating, ex- piration or exhalation.
 All this and more is comprised in nutrition.
 Excretion or elimination Is the least important part of the entire process of nutrition and is perfect ly automatic or seH-regulating if not unwisely tempered without most of you dumb laymen are in- tropective and even morbid about this, having had the wrong sort of teaching by the quacks and nos- trum mongers all your life, and you've tossed so many monkey wrenches into the works that yo're all out of kilter now, and maybe you had better not throw away your pills or potions. trick enemas and imported bird seed until you have studied my treatise, "The Constipation Habit" and conned it several times. There's only one way you can get 9 copy. of this treatise: send ten cents in coin (not stamps) and three nt-stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for the treatise. Correspond ents who do not comply with my terms may squawk and yelp and cancel subscription or even pull their ads--they won't get anywhere with me.
 Normal, perfect. ideal nutrition, metabolism, growth or health is euthrophy. Deficient nutrition is variously known as atrophy, in- anition, malnutrition, marasmus, cancellation, whitening, constitution al weakness. fraiity. underweight. dystrophy. We might get by with out some of these big words, but In conference like this find Q judicious introduction of a few big words keeps the lay members guessing; if one excludes all im- pressive words some laymen will think they know about as much as the doctor does, and then one can't reach them anything.

YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE SPARED DREAD OF FUTURE.

- We had teacher in school who had a pet way of torturing us. She would say: Just you wait un- iii you get into Miss Cross room. SHE won't stand for any non- sense" Or eff you think this arithmetic is hard just wait till you get into Number Ten and see what it is like there.'
 The result was that when pro. motion time came half or us went home and got very sick, too SICK to expose ourselves to the rigors of Number Ten, and the other half got paralysis of the braln' ana Miss Cross (who turned out 10 pc a very nice teacher) must nave thought for a week or two tnat she had received crop or the worlds worst dummies.
 No child can think or behave normally if fear of the future oc- cupies his mind. Fear Of tne future may mean daddy coming home at night. It may mean to. morrow with too-uch- discussed operation. It may mean all 10, morrows with parents separated and feeling of Insecurity.
 Trying to Learn Future.
 There is in all human beings this instinct of fear concerning the future. The psychological reason that lies behind the flair for goin, to fortune -tellers Is the desire to have one's self from shock. To know the worst and prepare for 1t. Better. they argue, to know the worst than to be filled with vague uncertainty and forebodings. On the other hand, many believers won't go because they feel safer without concrete predictions.
 It is not necessary to deceive the child and let him think that every day will be rose-picking party but worry him unnecessarily about the bugaboo just around the cor ner? A little girl playing at neigh bor's house one day acted very strangely. She did not want tc play. She lay down on the fooi

 It was when she was walking home a little latef, walking alone because Steve had stayed behind to talk to someone, that Gale remem- bered his words of the night be- fore. Steve had said. Brian West more was trying to pump you. He was trying to get information so that they could work us harder, grind us down and make more money for the company. You'd bet ter watch your step"
 Could Brian have been respon- sible for her interview WIth Miss Groves? Was 1t anything shed said to him that had made them call her into the personnel directors office? Miss Groves had never spoken to her before. Why shou d she singled her out now, just as this time? Gale didn't want to believe Brian was responsible. She told herself 1t couldn't be true! And yet 1t was a coincidence-Steve' warn ing and what had happened this afternoon.
 Gale hadn't said anything to Steve about 1t. She didn't want to tell anyone unless she had to. Un- less she lost her job.
 "If they're going to fire me-" Gale thought, T ought to know it pretty soon. Maybe tomorrow"
 Vicky Thatcher picked up the long handled mirror, turned her head slightly, inspecting her re- fiection. Its not bad" she said. Not bad" The words died away as she tilted the tiny hat more se- verely.
 "It's perfect, Miss Thatcher" Celeste, proprietor of the shop, clasped her hands together. "So new, so smart! And you're exactly the type to wear it. I knew the minute that hat came in that I wanted you to have 1t. So many people cant wear the extreme, the really smart hats, but you--oh, it's perfect on you"
 Vicky turned the other side of | her face to the mirror, raised her chin. Yes" she said, "I think I like it." She tugged at the triangle of black straw that seemed a com bigation of Wateau shepherdess and urchin's cap. Its better than any of the others" she said. How much did you say it is?"
 "Thirty-five dollars. Miss That | cher-no. $37.50. Such a beautiful straw - imported. And of course it's ar exclusive model. You won't see another like it. It's absolutely exclusive with us"
 Vicky pushed the silver fox cape she had discarded, to one side There was a huff of the silver fox on the chair beside her. She stood up--a trim figure in a black suit with unmistakable elegance in the simplicity of it's lines. She reached for handbag that had come from Paris and took out vanity case. There was the flash of rubies as she opened the jeweled case and took out a powder puff. Vicky powdered her nose slowly and put the case back.
 'Let me SC that brown hat again." she commanded. "The one thought I liked"
 The brown has was produced-a flat bit of fabric of ecclesiastic aus- terity until Vicky perched it on her head. On Vicky the hat suddenly became jaunty and flattering. "Ill take it, too," she announced. I'm so tired of all the hats I have. I suppose I'll be tired of these, too. in a month but I've simply got to have something new. Put them on my account and be sure that they're sent out this evening"" "Yes, Miss Thatcher. Now Is

 New York.--The white-enam- elled iron bed of the nineties, dreadful as it would seem to the decorator of today. yet played a useful role-that of ancestor to all the metal furniture which is now displayed in the modern house from parlor to kitchen.
 Manufacturers have learned a lot about metal since the iron bed days. $n the interim, thousands or dollars have been spent in labora- tories to work out alloys that will be pliable as well as stain and rust proof. The result has been to put metal into all the rooms of the home.
 Shows Damage Less
 An effect that decorative au- thorities are exclaiming over has been obtained in the main dining room of one thirty-two room house by means of table and chairs, the frames of which are chromi- um- plated steel. The top fthe table is made of a synthetic white material and in the center is a

 That perfume you carry--'Be Mine
 The ounce size"
 "Yes, Miss Thatcher. The ounce
 size is $50. It's lovely. isn't it"" Celeste's tone implied that $50 for such a treasure was really a trifie' She smiled as she made notations on her sales book. Miss Thatcher l was a customer to be cultivated. Vicky drew the fox cape about
 her shoulders and picked up her handbag. "You'll send them all
 out" she said. And remember l
 must have them tonight" "Yes, Miss Thatcher. l know
 you're going to enjoy your hats both of them. Come in again soon. We are always getting new
 things"
 Vicky disappeared through the door. She walked to the curb where
 a bright green roadster was park ed. There was a young man in the
 car. He wore 8 gray hat and blue topcoat and he was smoking a cig- aret.
 Vicky said Hello, Greg. Is this
 a surprise party?"
 | He nodded. Saw your car" he
 said, "and thought you must be
 somewhere around. I've decided to let you drive me home.' Isn't that sweet of you!" Vicky smiled.
 Greg Harmon got out, held the door open for her. and seated
 himself beside her. The car moved
 away from the curb, shifting
 smoothly through it's gears.
 "I called you last night and
 couldn't get you" Greg said
 abruptly. q thought you told me you were going to be home?" But I was! The operator must
 have rung the wrong number" "Youre sure you weren't out | with Brian Westmore. "Greg, how can you?" "Well--were you?" "No, of course not. How many times do I have to tel you I don't
 care anything about Brian West
 more? I have to be nice to him be-
 cause of fathers business relations.
 I've explained that before"
 "Youve said It." Greg admitted,
 "but it doesn't look like that to
 me. It looks"
 "Greg. are you going to be jeal-
 ous of every man 1 speak to? If
 you are. I don't see what I can do
 about it. I've told you I don't care
 anything about Brian. How cou'd I-when l know you? Darling, you're the only man I care about. You ought to know that. Only don't like to have you getting jeal-
 ous the way you do. It's so foolish. Greg. You ought to know there's
 nobody but you" You really mean that, Vicky?" "Of course l do." It was two hours later that Vicky in her bedroom, lifted the ivory telephone and gave a number. A
 moment later she said. Brian? Oh, I'm glad I caught you in. There's something I want to ask you"
 She listened a moment, then
 went on. "Well-it's this, Brian. Greg's been making q nuisance of himself again. I had to tell him
 something. so l said I had a date
 for tomorrow night. Do you sup
 pose you could take me some where?"
