RY LOIS LEEDS,

NEAR MISS LEEDS-Please reprint
- what to do to rid my skin
OF small holes and blackheads. PAT.
Answer-If you want clear, fine
textured skin you must be willing to
work for it. Blackheads and enlarged
pores seem to bother a great many of
my readers, judging from letters re-
ceived Use a complexion brush and
a good brand of soap and warm water.
Lather the face and neck we'll and
scrub with the brush. Rinse off sew
eral times with clear warm water,
finally with cold water, and dry thor
oughiy. Use very little makeup until
your skin is in a better condition.
Sometimes blackheads and enlarged
pores are caused by not removing
makeup thoroughly at bedtime and
by patting on more face powder dur
ing the day. 1t is an easy matter to
remove the old makeup before apply
ing fresh supply of face powder and
rouge. Two or three times a week,
after washing your face, steam it with
warm towels and very gently press out
the blackheads with a blackhead re-
mover. They will respond if the skin
Is prepared in this way before trying
to press them out. Lather again with
soap and water, rinse well in warm
water. Follow with cold rinses for
several minutes, then dry. Pat on q
blackhead lotion or cream. Blackheads
thrive in oily, coarse skins especially.
Such skins should be washed with
soap and water two or three times a
day and given plenty Of cold rinses
afterWard. LOIS LEEDS.
Will Cycle Riding Enlarge Hips?
Dear Miss Leeds-Is it true that
bicycle riding will enlarge the hips?
MISS M.
Answer-Bicycle riding is an excel
lent exercise and will not enlarge the
hips. Notice the professional riders.
They do not have much extra flesh
anywhere. It's a good sport for the
younger folks, but not wise for the
older people; it is too strenuous. Even

Night Rules
For Babies
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

THE four-hour schedule has for so
long been the accepted one that
there is no longer any doubt of its
efficacy and desirability. 1t is almost
a shock to me to find mothers still
feeding on the three-hour schedule,
SO out of date has it become.
The baby's daytime hours are in
flexible and regular. The usual hours
chosen are 6, 10. and 6, as most
hospitals start babies off on this
routine. But any four-hour interval
is usable and this can conform to
the baby's household.
The nighttime feeding hours are
irregular After baby is fed at
pm. he is allowed to sleep until he
wakens of his own accord. Sometimes
this may be at 10 pm. again it may
be at II or II, and he need be fed
only when he wakenS for it. The
daytime policy is to waken the baby
on the hours at which he should be
fed, SO as to habituate him to those
hours.
Allowing the baby to choose his
own nighttime feeding hours encour-
ages his sleeping through the night
without feeding. In the fortunate
group of babies. with whose habits
I am most familiar, almost without
exception this policy results in the
baby sleeping from 6 pm. to 6 am.
without waking for a feeding by the
time he is or 9 weeks old.
If one would see these happy, husky,
placid babies one would know that
four feelings a day are quite suffi-
cient to keep the baby gaining steadily
and also to furnish him a patient
and agreeable mother who profits as
much by uninterrupted sleep as does
her hahv

own fireside and not in treading the
primrose paths.
But there are other marriages in
which a man finds that his wife is
not his mate. They have nothing In
common. There is no spiritual cor
respondence between them. His love
for her dies because it has nothing TO
feed upon. She bores him, Is dis
tasteful to him.
Then fate throws in his way the
woman who is his other self and TO
whom his very soul goes out, who
gives meaning to life for him. And
when this Is the case, when a wife
knows that some other woman can
give her husband what she is power
less to give him, that this other wom-
an can make him happy while she
makes him miserable. then all that
she can do in kindness to him and
for her own self-respect is to let him
go. For you cannot coerce love. You
cannot make a man love you because
it is his duty to. When we do that
only make ourselves miserable.
DOROTHY DIX.
DEAR MISS DIX-I know two sisters
who are well educated, quite pretty
and attractive, excellent cooks and
housekeepers, but they are extremely
tall and it makes them self-conscious.
They won't go with men who are not
as tall as they are, because they think
it makes them look funny" They
could very easily date nice men who
are shorter than they are. but if they
can't go out with tall men they stay
at home. Do you think their chances
of being happily married is lessened
by their height? MRS. L. D. J.
Answer think there is something
worse than being tall the matter with
the girls. 1t is a lack of common
sense. For If they used their brains
a little bit they would realize that
their height doesn't matter a particle
to anybody but themselves.
INDEED, the daughter of the gods
divinely tall and most divinely fair"
has been the type of woman over
whom poets have raved and whom
artists have loved to paint since the
beginning of time. You never heard
of them celebrating the little sawed
of woman.
But your tall girls are very foolish
II they turn down small men and re-
fuse to go about with any youth who
doesn't measure up to their height.
Good husband material is not to be
estimated by the yardage, and many
little men who are short on size are
long on Intelligence, energy and in
itiative, and are the most desirable
catches. Also, short men almost in
variably fall for tall girls, Just as
giant men do for pocket-Venus girls.

Dear Miss Leeds-I wonder If you
will help two discouraged sisters.
Our chief worry is that we are both
very short and therefore look much
stouter than we really are. % What
is safe and sane reducing diet? 90
What exercises are particularly good
for hips and thighs? go Do you
think that these advertised reducing
aids are any good? viii laXatives aid
in reducing? "a Could you suggest
styles for slenderizing short people?
We are 19 and 81 years Of age.
C. and K.
Answer do not think you have
very much to be discouraged about.
ShortneSS is often a beauty asset. If
you have inherited a short stature,
you cannot make yourselves tall.
Make the most of your type You did
not give your height and present
weight. But unless you are very much
overweight, I would advise you to for
get the dieting. You might cut down
a little on sweets. fats and starches.
Include plenty of fruits and vegetables
in your daily menus Send stamped,
addressed envelope and ask for my
leaf1et Safe and Sane Reducing"
(2) Swimming, hiking, tennis and a
few special exercises will keep your
figure trim When you write again
ask for my leaflet Reducing Hips,
Thighs and Abdomen" 49, Do not
take any reducing medicine without
consulting your physician. There are
several good appliances in the form
of rowing machines, etc, that may
help you to exercise regularly. (4)
Wear a well-fitted foundation gar
ment. Choose clothes with long, slen-
der lines, vertical or diagonal stripes.
Avoid two-piece effects. There are
many slenderizing styles in the shops
for girls like you. Avoid too many
frills and choose materials in solid
dark colors or small prints. Navy
blue sheers are always good.

Decorating Trick.

A vogue in decorating is to have
one period" room in a house or
apartment which otherwise scintillates
with chromium plating and glass, or
to have one modern room when the
rest Of the house is furnished in the
style of hundred years ago
This practical idea was started by
brides who received wedding gifts of
antique furniture or Georgian china,
as well as modern glass or chromium
finished articles. 1t also satisfies the
love for what is old and beautiful, as
well as for that which is modern and
chic in decoration.

Taking Stock of Your Wardrobe This Time Be Recommended
The Old Gardener Saws {:

1t is almost time to begin bulb
planting again. Autumn crocuS
and the colchicum bulbs soon
will be on the market and should
60 into the ground as quickly as
possible. They will bloom in the
Autumn, within a few weeks from
the time they are planted. The
crocuses may well have a place in
the rock garden, but it Is better
to use the colchicumS in the
perennial beds because of the
very large leaves produced in the
Spring. However, garden makers
who follow the plan Of buying new
bulbs each year and then discard
ing them may use colchicums and
crocuses alike in the rock gar
den. Bulbs of the Madonna lily
and the Nankeen lily will also be
in the market soon and should
be planted early.

TT is well at this time to engage
the services Of a competent dress
maker or sewing woman for about
the middle of September, to be sure
of getting her before her schedule
becomes completely filed. When she
arrives, or when you plan to start
having her work on your things, you
will save her time and yours if you
have gone over the field thoroughly,
beforehand, studied fashion maga-
zines. and have your new ideas pretty
well in hand
Skirt lengths are said to be much
shorter this Fall, for daytime than
they have been for years. That will
be a help in remaking suits and sep
arate skirts to conform with the new
silhouettes. Clothes will be sleek and
flowing, and in clever and subtle
way outline the figure without ap-
pearing to be overf1tted.
OF course you have a box of fur
trimmings, taken from various gar
ments during the past few years. Check
them off in your mind, and before
very long YOU can get out the ones
you have decided to make use of,
send them to good cleaning con-
Germ, where they can be cleansed,
fuffed, glazed and altogether made to
look like new. Old fox neckpieces,
boasting head, feet and tired-looking
brush, can have these appendageS
chopped off. the skins opened up and
a wonderfully rich-looking little cape
made, to fling over your tailored suit
or street dress for Fall.
THAT heavy black velvet that your
Aunt Kitty turned over to you
years ago, and that has always seemed
too thick and clumsy for modern use,
may be ripped up, steamed. and made
into a stunning afternoon suit, to wear
on very dress-up occasions. Velvet
suits Of this type are going to prove
very popular, and with the new heavy
and rich velvets being the darlings
of the French coutouriers, you will be
exceedingly smart and stylish, at little
expense, other than the cost of the
making, and the lining for the suit
coat. A metallic blouse may be worn
with the suit, thereby making a COM
plete afternoon costume, even with
out the coat.
There is no use keeping your closet
stuffed full of clothes that you know
will be no good to you and that you
will never wear. 1t is not fair, either,
to keep them from some one to whom
they would really be of benefit, just
on the mere chance that you might
wear them some day; in the rain,
perhaps. The things that you are
sure cannot be made over to your
entire satisfaction, and without money
being wasted on their metamorphosiS,
are far better given away, where they
will do good.
