Quite Drastic
An occasional aStringent appli-
cation is good for the dry skin,
too, as it will stimulate the sur
face of the skin and aid in re-
moving the chiffon or dry skin
that is always imperceptibly she'd
ding. There are a number of
girls who tell me they use
full strength toilet water on the
face every day.
This is a drastic treatment for
any skin and would be quite ir-
ritating to a dry skin, although a

Keep a package of borax in
the bathroom cabinet and use a
half teaspoonful to a basin of
water and a tablespoonful for
the tub. This will soften the
water. Nearly all good bath salts
have this effect, too.

Inere is none, as lar as we
know, but these yeast applications
are quite harmless to the most
sensitive skin, so there is no rea-
son why they may not be used fire.
quently.
How to Do It
This is the way to do it: First
wash the face with tepid water
and soap. Then remove the soap
and pat the skin dry. Mix two
cakes of yeast with two teaspoon
fuls of 'cornstarch and add milk
to make a thin paste. Cream the
face thoroughly with your cleans
ing cream and then apply the
yeast.
It is left on for five minutes and
removed with tepid water. When
the skin has been dried, apply a
tissue cream.
There is another way Of apply
ing the yeast that you may prefer.
Mix the yeast with tablespoonful
of almond meal and then thin it
to paste with witch hazel. Cleanse
the face with the cream in the
usual way, but instead Of putting
the yeast on the skin, cover the
face and neck with a square Of
gauze and spread the yeast over it..
It will have the same cleansing
effect and will be easy to apply and
remove. The tepid water bath
and tissue cream is used as it is
after the first method.
These facials are very good for
those whose skin is oily, as they
penetrate the pores and remove
the surplus oil and also have a
temporary drying effect. When
the cream has been used IN the
regular massage, then the next
step in treating the oily skin Is
the aStringent.
Place two or three cubes Of
ice in a bowl and pour in three
tablespoonfulS Of water. Rose
water or a distilled water is al
ways preferred, as 1t is soft and
somewhat antiseptic. and Is q

to give her, if you're not. Two new
perfumes, new this fall, are called
"Town" and Country" and the
two make a complete perfume

Country" perfume is said to
bring dewy, flower-decked fields
so strongly to your mind that you
think it is summer. It's youthful
and fresh, exactly right to per.
fume your lingerie at all times,
and nice for country and sports
use. "ToWn" is much more SophiS'
ticated, rich and feminlnely lux
uriouS. It's grand to use on your
furs, and for formal affairs. Both
perfumes come in original crys-
tai flagons etched with a town
and country scene, and they are
packaged in ultra-modern copper
and wood finished boxes. You can
buy them separately for $3.50, or
boxed together, as we've had them
sketched, for SIS.

IF you want to give a practical
i gift to a woman who loves to
cook, or is especially interested in
kitchen gadgets, give her a set Of

set of eight little mOldS and one
large one for 81. They're the sim.
pie round rings (dOughnut shaped)

eral generations. . some, in fact,
to the middle ages. In some cases
our conventional wine glasses are
patterned after the glasses that
have long been in use In foreign
countries.
SPECIAL GLASSES
There are today available special
glasses for each type of wine.
In serving these wines, however,
the average household can get
along without the glasses deemed
necessary by gourmets. The claret
glass. This is a four-ounce glass,
can be used for many types Of
wine. A clever stunt is to have 1t
match the water gobletS. Red and
white wines, SauterneS and Bur.
gundies can all be served in this
type Of glass.
You can serve one type Of wine
at the meal.
If you like red wine, wait until
the main course before you start
the wine service. Don't serve port
until you get to dessert.
If you wish to be absolutely
correct, here are the various types
Of glasses that are used for service:
White wine Is served chilled in
q 3-ounce goblet. Red wine is
served at room temperature in a
5-ounce goblet. Rhine wines are
served chilled in q 5-ounce crystal
glass.
Champagne is served in special
glasses to keep the sparkle. For
the sake Of the bouquet no wine
glass is ever served more than
three-fourthS full.
TYPES OF WINE
# you who wish to serve more
than one type Of wine during the
meal here are the proper wines
for each course:
Hors d'Oeuvre Light white
wines such as Sauterne, Catawba,
Rhine wine types.
oysters and shelled fish. Sau.
terne or dry Sherry.
Soup. For conSomme q light
wine, for q thick soup a dry wine.
Fish. . "A dry white wine.
Entree. "A light white wine.
Roast. Red wine with beef,
Claret with lamb, Burgundy with
veal.
Chicken. . Champagne or red
wines.
Game. Dry wines.
Vegetables. Vines are not
served with the strong.flavored
vegetables, but may be served
with eggplant, mushrooms and
peas.
Salad. If the salad includes
cheese, wine may be served. In
this case the red wine Of the
preceding source.
For dessert. Port, MuScatel
and Tokay.
SPECIAL CEREMONY
The banquet at Christmas at
the time Of our grandfathers al
ways included wines. Their serv-
ice meant special ceremony and
at that time the usual custom was
for "the ladies to retire" after
the dessert was served so that
the gentlemen were left to their
own devices.
Coffee was served to the ladies,
however, and in many cases
brandy and liqueurs were added to
it at the table.
For the average household the
addition Of wine for Christmas
need not be expensive. Many Of
our domestic wines are excellent.
New York State also has some fine
wines that could be served with the
dinner.
After dinner coffee gains ele.
gance if cognac is added to it.
About a tablespoon is needed for
each cup.
Here are some delicious dishes
that gain their flavor from the
wines added to them:
WINE SAUCE FOR STEAMED
PUDDINGS
2 cups of brown sugar
cup of currant jelly
4 eggs
2 tablespoons Of cornstarch
l cup Of cream
y cup Of domestic red wine
l cup of butter
Combine the ingredients except
the wine. Place in the top of a
double boiler Cook, stirring con.
Stantly until thickens. Just before
serving add the wine and serve
hot on the puddingS.

INTERESTED IN CONFESSION
''Dear Miss Fairfax:

"Dear Miss Fairfax:
Gas a regular reader Of your
column, I was interested in . con.
fessiOn from o girl in her teens,
saying that she diSliked heavy
petting.
"The letter was signed e. b.
and she seemed to have the idea
that her unwillingness to pet was
a detriment to her popularity.
Not at all, 1 say, If she meets the
right type of man.
II imagine q good many girls
are too apt to blame their lack Of
popularity upon what boys will a.
ways try to do. A fellows atti-
tude toward petting is the same
as his point of view toward q
luscious cream puff.
eff he eats too many he Is
nauSeated. It's like that with pet
ting, and E. B., who has not come
across the right type as yet,
should not feel discouraged. I do
not like too many cream puffs."
"H. R."
When I get a letter like yours,
my dear H. r., I always hope that
the fates may be kind to you, and
that chance will throw you and
the girl who disapproves Of heavy
petting together.

IF YOU'RE looking for a wonder
J. full investment for that Christ
mas check, we suggest one Of the
new Sparklet Syphons. The de-
sign has been changed completely,
you know, so that now the syphon
is streamlined - modernized. It
comes in enamel or metal, is a
beautiful shape, shorter than it
was so that it won't take up as
much room in the ice box or on
the shelf, yet holds as much. In
case you do not know about these
syphons, they make charged
water by means of a capsule and
plain city water. It is less expen-
Sive than buying charged water,
comes to 712 cents per quart, and
it is said to be much better water.
The carbonated water that is pro-
duced is one that has an alkaline
reaction, so not only makes your
drinks more digestible, but more
delicious too. Of course, SyphonS
make marvellous gifts, and perhaps
you will have time to run down
town and buy one before the
stores close. If you do not. put
one on your list for first thing
next week. You will find it a great
help through the holidays for all
your entertaining, and of course
it lasts practically forever, with
bulbs renewed for each bottle OF
carbonated water. The new styles
sell for S. in enamel, and $6 in
metal. And a grand book OF
recipes for delightful drinks comes
along with the Sparklet.
Collar Sets
WE'VE NOTICED that many
w boys like to give collar sets
to their fathers for Christmas, so
we've sought out good set that
boys can afford. Boys usually
shop late and there are plenty OF
these available, in a downtown
store. They consist of a collar
pin and tie clasp, in silver finish,
and there are a good many to
select from, some with touch OF
cOl0red enamel, some plain. The
set, neatly boxed so that 1t makes
a nice gift, is just 1Oc.

Peril to Deal
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

by bEAIhACE rAAnSr hA
(FGmouS Authority, on Problems
of LOUe and MGTri10e)
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Il read a letter in your column
the other day which 1 think must
have been written by my wife.
"The writer complained that her
husband never cOnfided in her
any of his business affairs or his
plans for the future, and that she
didn't even know whether he car
ried life insurance, or IL she would
be provided for in case Of her hus4
bands death.
whether my wife wrote the
letter or not, the case fits US Ox-
actly. When we were first mar
ried, 1 used to tell my wife all OF
my business and financial af-
fairs, and could not understand
why things which should have
been kept absolutely confidential
went the rounds Of other offices.
"The source Of the leak proved
to be my wlfe's sister, who told
everything to her husband, who in
turn repeated the information to
his office.
$50, after two or three deals
came near going on the rocks, /
decided to become q domestic clam.
If the lady who wrote you about
her ClOse-mOuthed husband hap
pened to be my wife, that's the
reason / no longer COnfide In her
what's doing at our office.
DOMESTIC CLAM"
The Domestic Clans letter is a
warning to wives with sieve-like
propenSities. It is only too true
that many a promising deal has
been wrecked because some
thoughtless woman has run to
mama or sister with the news,
which has not stopped there.
Wives do not mean to be dis
loyal. Chattering about friend
husbands plans generally is Just q
bit of harmless Dragging. If the
deal goes through it may mean q
new car or a fur coat, and the
family have to know about the
glad tidings, even before they
happen.
