| There are any number OF beauty
aids, but the first and most i'm.
portant requisite OF all is thorough
cleanliness. Blackheads and white.
heads are both the result of clogged
pores.
Nearly every case of blackheads
is impacted pores that are not
only filled and diStended with
either foreign matter or natural
excretions, but also tipped with
speckS Of dust or CRIME.
When the skin is neglected, the
function of elimination becomes
retarded and lacks the necessary
stimulating friction to keep the
pores active.
The natural stimulus is frequent
cleansing with soap and water.
This treatment is also necessary
for the condition known as white
heads. The film-like skin covering
the pores is so fine it is almost
imperceptible, but it does act as
a seal against elimination.
When we are cleansing the skin
as we should, there are other fac
tors that have been found effective,
too. They are the skin tonics and
astringents. When these refresh
ing lotions are applied to a clean
skin, they will help to close and
shrink open pores and refine the
whole surface.
Creams will also have a sooth-
ing and refining effect on a
clean skin. Skin fluid cleansers
are used frequently to refresh the
skin and remove soil when the
makeup is renewed during the
day.
When there are conspicuous
pores about the nose and cheek,
it is advisable to begin at once
to correct the skin function.
Those who have any indica-
lions Of clogged pores and black
heads should know that special
treatment is absolutely necessary
and begin it without delay. My
special treatment for blackheadS
and clogged pores has been used
successfully by thousands and is
a marvellous home treatment for
anyone.
Shirley Ann: The acid you
speak Of can be purchased at the
drugstore.
Thelma S.: We do not answer
beauty problems on postal cards,
and you can understand why. Just

BON VOYAGE GIFTS

BON VOYAGE GIFTS
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Il am invited to a farewell
party to be given in honor of my
neighbor and her daughter who
are leaving for Europe soon. AS
1 have never attended q party of
this kind, I am undecided whether
to get two gifts or only one, and
what would you, advise? c."
It would be best to take two
gifts for these voyagers-to-be. You
might take the daughter one of
two handkerchiefs, monogrammed
or embroidered with her first
name. This latter form of en-
bordering handkerchiefs is very
popular now, especially for young
girls.
To the mother you might bring
a purse of ample size, to hold the
many items that one must carry
on European trip. Or you might
give her a leather passport case.
Or a writing-portfolio. Or some
small item for her traveling-bag,
such as case containing a clothes.
brush. Or a leather case that
holds a folded pair of soft-leather
Pullman slippers. Or a pen and
pencil set, or just either one. Or
a powder case. Or some cosmetic
item, such as box of bath salts or
a box of soap good for hard water,
Of which she will find much
abroad, or a box of powder, if
you know her brand and shade.

COlOred Gloves

PARIS. - Colored gloves, that
were at first viewed suspiciously
by the Parisienne, are rapidly
gaining ground and are even be-
ing supported by matching bouton'
niereS or belts.
Those still loyal to black are
often making it serve as a foil to
color. A large sailor of corn color
and chamois color gloves were set
against black suit and black kid
pumps and bag.
Hats play their part, and num-
Der of colored belts have been seen
at the races, some with matching
belts and some with bags. We are
told, however, that as the summer
advances we shall start from the
ground and match oar colored kid
sandals. instead of our hats. to
our belts and bags.

ASNSA NSA44AON Al VASAA AA
wouldn't understand.
And at a Y. w. C. A. convention
at Colorado Springs a certain
young miss threw a verbal hand
grenade when she said:
Modern mothers have not suf-
ficient knowledge to help their
daughters cope with the prob
lens Of life"
These replies strike me as being
terrible arraignment of the re,
lationship between modern moth
ers and their daughters. And with
which group does the trouble lie?
Not all mothers of the present
time, when girls bring up some
question which could never have
happened in their day, clamp down
the forbidding stencil of lin my
day."
And that other classic, whats
the world coming to?" which one
generation has been asking of the
next since ages before the dawn
Of the ChiStian era, solves nothing.
DIFFICULT TO ADVISE
In fact, platitudes have never
been successful in solving Situa-
tions or stemming the onrush of
events, no matter how Wellworn
from use they may have become.
The wise mother doesn't con-
Stantly remind her daughter how
things were done when she was a
girl, because there is as much diff
ference between today and a gen.
Grafton ago as there was between
mothers generation and the pre-
ceding century.
If a girl is taught to have cour-
age, to be fair and fine in her
dealings with others, and to face
the consequences of her own &C
tions-that girl will be started off
right.
It's pretty difficult, I'll admit,
for a woman-Who lived at home
even when she went to a shop,
office or factory before her mar
riage, then married some nice boy
whom her parents knew all about
to advise her daughter about the
real facts of the present-day eco
nomic, social and sex life.
INSUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE
The world in which a girl finds
herself today is wholly different
from the one in which her mother
lived. And trying to force the
standards of the past generation
down the modern youngsters
throat-being strict" with her in
the old-fashioned way-is apt to
result in calamity.
From constant Illustration a girl
will either lose the power of hav-
ing any will Of her own, and be-
come a downhearted creature who
can never be successful, or she
will sneak out and have her own
good times in her own way.
And that, my dear parents, is
where the trouble begins-and un-
fortunately does not end.
Try to understand and sympa-
thize with your children, even if
you have to gulp down a few old
fashioned prejudices to do it.
And please remember, there
were tragedies of youth in the
horse-and-buggy days, the same as
there are today. Thousands of let
tiers have come to this column in
the years it has been running,
with verdictS like that of the
Y. w. C. A. girl in Colorado
Springs, who accused mothers of
not having sufficient knowledge
to help their daughters cope with
the problems of life.

We've been going together for
six months, but he has always
acted a little queer. We work
in the same business firm, and
if he meets me when someone
he knows is around, he acts as
though he hardly knows me,
and tries to rush away in a
hurry. This hurts me deeply, as
/ like him a lot.
I've asked him to come to see
me. He has my address, but
makes the excuse that he doesn't
know how to get there. / have

TUE most seductive sleeping at
Il tire we've seen is these
pajamas, not diaphanous particu-
larly, but cut so that they are
positively enhancing. They are
called summer sleepers, and are
made of very light weight cotton
in a meshy weave. It's so soft
that it feels grand on, but the
design is the alluring feature .
the trousers are separate from the
top, and tied at the waist with a
satin ribbon. The top is just a
little bra that ties around the
neck, and has a ribbon that holds
1t in a deep v in front. They are

and blue. You can get another
