felt that they could offer brush in
such large quantities that the price
would be within the reach of all.
That is how it happened.
This new brush comes In green
jadeite, its bristles soft enough not to
irritate the skin and yet firm enough
to get at the dirt In btlslness-nke
way. The brush should be used in
circular motions over the face and
nose. It is especially good for an oily
condition You will probably find that
using the brush twice a week will
be SUFFICIENT. s-

THE beautifying possibilities Of so
humble thing as oatmeal were
recognized long ago by our grand
mothers, who used to make up little
bags of it and had their own scheme
for using it to keep the skin soft and
lovely. The treatment has continued
to the present and is now offered in
a two-minute oatmeal facial that Is
easy to use and produces excellent re-
suits.
1t is an ideal Wintertime treatment,
for it leaves the skin clear, soft and
velvety after each application. 1t
alleviates small skin irritations and
is simple and wholesome means Of
protecting the skin against exposure.
Oatmeal in this powdered form with
the addition of slight fragrance
comes in a generous can that will last
you for some time. A little of the
powder is mixed with warm water in
the palm of the hand and smoothed
over the face. After two minutes.
when it Is dry and begins to pucker,
rinse it of and see how soft it leaves
the skin. You will be delighted with
the result. It is also used in cases of
very oily skins and clogged pore con-
ditions. Special directions are given
for this treatment.

NEXT, we have just come across a
new product that performs the
amazing trick of rendering hosiery
and lingerie resistant to water spots
and perspiration. We know that some
materials are called water repellent,
due to special process. Probably
the manufacturers would have liked
to keep this secret to themselves, but
1t, some way "the cat got out of the
Gag" and this processing fluid may
low be purchased in bottles for so
cents for you to use at home. 1t may
be used on silk, cotton and lace. This
milky fluid may be used over and
over. until its milky content entirely
disappears. The garments so treated
may be washed several times after.

that it can be found in only one shop

heavy paint on natural silk woven with
a drawn-up thread to give the effect
of tiny shirring or cloque, and satin

times looks exactly like coarse linen
and has one-tenth silk to give it a
simmer. Cut work is often embroid-
cred on sheer woolen.
The colors this season are as varied

think about the only new problem
that the modern girl has to wrestle
with is how to make her own living.
Mother and grandmother didn't have
to bother their pretty heads about
that, because in their time it was the
custom for the males of the family
to support the females. As long as
hung upon the parent bough, fathers
and brothers supplied them with nu-
triment and raiment.
But nowadays as soon as Angelina
gets through school, father and
brother wash their hands of her and
she has to hustle out and earn her
own board and keep. Hence the prob
lem of deciding on what she wants to
do in the way of work, and what she
has an aptitude for doing is most
likely to make success of, is the first
one with which she has to grapple.
Moreover, it is rendered the more
difficult of solution by the fact that
she doesn't expect to follow any career
outside of domesticity for long. Her
real lifework is matrimony, SO she feels
that there is small use in putting in
much time or effort in learning even
the rudiments Of profession that
she regards as nothing but bridge
of sighs that reaches from the class
room to the altar.

As FOR the other problems that con-
\ front the girl Of today, they are
Just about the same as those that per.

day before that. The only difference is
it is a little harder to guess the
answers.
Every woman's initial problem from
Mother Eve down to the youngest

how to please men, because on her
making hit with the lords Of creation
depended her prosperity, her ease and

CRISP greens are as plentiful as
ever-the spinach is especially
nice this week. Kale and savoy cab
bage are fine, too, as are the large
green snap beans and yellow wax
beans that are being received from
Texas. Mammoth SNOWFALL mush-
rooms" were seen at many Of the stalls
and appear to be exceptionally good.
Large snow-white heads of caulifower
are coming in large shipments and
offer q special treat for the vegetable
course. Green peas, coming from
Cuba, are selling for pounds for is
cents! Hothouse radishes and toma-
toes are plentiful and priced accord
ingiy. Parsnips, have made their
appearance again and are of excellent
grade. Okra is more plentiful now too.
Cucumbers have been received in
small, but good lots, and are large and
crisp. Alligator pears, the small meaty
ones, are much more reasonable In
price than they have been-remember
they are delicious for the luncheon or
buffet supper salad. Artichokes are
perfect just now-both the Jerusalem
and the potato variety. Nice even
sized new potatoes are coming from
Cuba-and large mealy "spuds" from
Idaho appear to be extra fine for
baking. Young carrots and tiny red
beets are among this weeks vegetable
specials.

TENS of immediate interest in
cosmetics have been croWding in
so fast that we have found it
i necessary to devote an extra col
umn to the subject this week in order
to get up to date.
First we shall tell you about an old
favorite in its new Spring dress. This
is a skin freshener and cleanser that
has proved it's worth over period Of
years and now keeps in step with the
modern trend in attractive presenta-
tions by appearing in brand-new
bottle of most pleasing design as
shown above. This flacon Is mod
eled on the famous old Colonial
pinch" bottle, and Is as practical as
it is distinguished looking. because it
won't slip out Of wet fingers-the
thumbs fit right into the center where
you see the name label. The unusu-
ally clear crystal glass takes a high
polish and with its transparent green
contents makes a brilliant addition to
any dressing table.
AS to the liquid-just moisten bit
of cotton with this skin cleanser and
rub it over the back OF the neck and
behind the ears after you have been
wearing a dark fur collar around
town, and you will be surprised and
amazed at the color of the cotton!
Most beauty treatments indicate the
use of skin freshener, and you will
find this one pleasant to use and very
effective. It is also recommended as
an after-shave lotion and for use after
the bath for both men and women.

Question of

Are Suggested as
Balance.
BY ANGELO PATRI.
TT is a shame that children are
allowed to make other children
feel inferior and left out for


allowed to make other children
feel inferior and left out for
4 no other reason than their
snobbish ideas of superiority. There
ought to be law against high school
fraternities. The public schools are
free for all, and all ought to be treated
alike. My son feels terrible because he
was not asked to join frat. It's a
shame that such thing could hap
pen. There ought to be law"
I have little faith in laws. No law
would change the attitude of the
snooty group who draw apart and call
themselves the elect. They would be
that way frat or no frat. The children
who have no such pride of class, feel
no distinction Of any sort elevating
them above their fellows, would con-
tinue to feel that way, frat or no frat.
The feeling of difference, prideful
difference from the majority, is deep
rooted in humanity. Lord thank
thee that am not as other men are"
is inherent in the thought of most
human beings. It Is displayed over and
over in every congregation of the
righteous, and who among us is not
righteous? I would feel more sympa-
thetic toward the mother who so bit
terly resents her sons exclusion from
the frat if she did not want the frat
abolished in consequence of the slight
to her son. Had he been called she
would have thought it fine thing. 1t
is that thought that makes it so diff
cult for principals to keep the frat
spirit out of their schools. It is rooted
in the community.
;. And vet I would not cultivate the
frat spirit in the high school. Anything
that tends to classify students on ar
tifiicial standards is bad because 1t is
an untrue, insincere standard. II the
standard for membership was true
one. sincere one. all honorable, de-
cent boys and girls would be eligible,
and that at once does away with the
life germ of the fiat. Exclusion is the
basic idea among them. That is no
basis for brotherhood.
I would not legislate against them,
however. You cannot legislate good
taste, good sense. honor, into anybody.
Instead of making law would enter
competition with the frats by forming
clubs for all sorts of purposes, and
make membership matter of pride
and honor. That is easily done If the
matter is set about intelligently.
Make membership in group mat
ter of personal accomplishment. Don't
elect members because they have "a
line" or because they can dance. or
because their people have money or
social tradition. Elect them because
they can do something, or stand for
something, and give these groups the
sort Of leadership they need.
When frats get so strong foothold
in the schools as to disturb the at
mosphere of school unity and school
accomplishment, the school itself is to
blame. The competition of the school
against the meaningless frats has not
been strong enough. Don't bother try
ing to legislate frats out of existence;
60 them one better and they fade out.
Honor personal accomplishment, dis
tinguish service, mark the honest ef-
fort with honors and the frats will die
of their own emptiness.

BY ELSIE PIERCE.

DEAR MISS PIERCE: From time
49, to time you have included wise
warning to mothers about teaching
children health habits which you feel.
and I agree, Is the best beauty foun-
dation we can give them. These
articles have been great help. for
Jennie, who Is just old enough to
understand, has listened intently when
I have read them aloud to her. Read
ing them seems to have had more Of
an effect in impressing her than my
lecturing at other times. If there's
anything she resents more than the
lectures, it's the actual scrubbings.
SO now, few more words some time
about clean hands and pretty nails on
the hands that play piano and shall
be very grateful. She is an advanced
piano pupil and plays very we'll for her
age, but sometimes the piano keys look
as though a cat with muddy paws
walked all over them. M j. B.
You know the saying about driving
horse to water. Children are not
to be driven either. Don't attempt to
nag them, to give them too much
at once. Let it grow on them gradually
and don't let them be conscious of the
fact that you are lecturing. Leave
with them the thought, the desire, not
the idea that it has been lesson az
such. Tell them that naughty lit g
germs lurk in dirt. germs that cary
sickness. And you know what happe Q
when you are sick, even with lit Q
cold; you have to stay in bed and car
go out to play with other children:
and you have to take medicine, ari
so on.
Some psychologists may not favcs
the negative appeal of illness. The,
tell them that pretty faces and mic,
teeth look even prettier when tlleJ
are very clean Every one who sect
a clean face thinks, What a Lowell;
little lady to keep her face so clean
The same thing applies to hands, too.
People notice hands that play the
piano. and when the hands are clean
they say, What nice child to keep
her hands so clean. Just like a grown
up little lady; I'm sure you can depend
upon her to keep herself clean and
dainty"
That grown-up appeal-it thrills
their sense Of pride, Try it on them.
And be sure to teach them to
wash their hands frequently for their
health's sake.

the more elaborate type, without
spending hours fussing over a hot
stove and rollins pin. And for those
of us who have TO spend most Of our
Summers here in Washington "crumb
pastry should prove worth its weight
in gold. Think of being able to serve
pie for dinner without having the
kitchen sitting hot!
For some years this type of pastry
was known to only few women, they
obtained directions for its making
from special recipes, by their own ex-
perimentation or from the word-of-
mouth recipes given them by other
women. 1t was found to fill such a
crying need, however. that nowadays
the most modern cook books devote a
section to them exclusively. This alone
illustrates how great the demand has
become.

CRACKER CRUST.

with tablespoons powdered sugar
and 4 cup melted butter. Spread
the mixture thin and press onto the
buttered sides and bottom Of spring
form. Let stand for several hours in
the refrigerator before adding filling.
If ordinary pie tin is to be used, the
proportions should be cup crumbs,
"a cup butter and 2 tablespoons sugar.

CRUMB CRUST.
Spread softened butter thickly on

11a cups finely ground stale cookie
crumbs. Set in icebox until ready to

2 cups flakes, u cup melted butter
4 tablespoons powdered sugar, "a tea
spoon cinnamon and u teaspoon
ginger. Some of the mixture may be
reserved to spread over the top Of
the filling if desired.
Filling for these "crumb crusts"
should be chosen with an eye to the
effect OF the various crumb haVors on
that of the filling. A little thought
and perhaps experimentation will pro-
duce many unusual combinations that
will be individual and exclusive" in
