is made with the stripes on the

Velveteens are sharing popu-

BY VIRGINIA LEE

DEAR VIRGINIA LEE: am
married woman with four chill
dren. We have been married for
ten years and so far have just
made ends meet. My husband has
a job in this town and works stead
lily, but we can't get ahead.
He has an opportunity of get
ting a job in another city, but is
afraid of taking the chance. I, my
self, would have q chance of get
ting some small job to increase
our income. Would it be worth
while to take the chance?
MRS. P. L."
Could your husband take a short
leave of absence from his present
job and look over the situation in
the distant city? 1t would be too
bad to go to the expense of NOV
ing and changing only to find that
the job was no good. On the other
hand, sometimes a move and an
other chance is the very best thing
for family. 1t looks as if it
might be, as you, too, would have
chance to earn little money.
I wouldn't advise moving unless
you are sure the job is steady and
conditions all right. If you've been
able to make both ends meet dur
ing these hectic last years, you
have done well, so don't be too
discouraged. A new field and sur
roundings always intrigue one, but
it's always well to look before you
leap" especially when it means SO
much. Maybe your husband could
arrange to go first and find out
about the job, and if all was well
you could follow with the children
in a few weeks.
M. S.: I'm afraid my advice
won't reach you before you leave,
but hope it will. There is no rea-
son why you should not ask this
boy if he would like to write to
you and have you write to him. If,
when you are away, he doesn't
answer, you can drop the cor
respondence, but maybe he would
very much like to hear from you.
The boy is the one who is sup
posed to suggest writing letters,
but 1 can't see why a girl should
not make the request if she likes
man and he seems to like her.
DEAR ADVISER: In our crowd
there are two couples, my boy
friend and I, and my girl friend
and her boy friend. We always go
on double dates and therefore see
great deal of one another. We
have been getting along swell up
to now, but 1 am almost positive
that her boy friend has fallen for
me, and 1 for him.
II wouldn't for the world want
to hurt either my boy friend or my
girl friend. My boy friend loves
me terribly, and 1 like him. The
boys are excellent friends, and we
could not explain it without break
ing up their friendship and also
the friendship of my girl friend
and me. What shall u do?
PUZZLED"
In loyalty to the others, l think
the four of you better stop double
dating, and see as little of one an

other as possible. Isn't there an
other couple with whom you double
date-making it seem, as it were,
accidental - to make the first
break? After that you might sug-
gest that you and the boy friend
go by yourselves once in a while
so as to break up the foursome-
also as If by accident.
It's too bad, and, Of course, If
you two seriously are in love, 1t
may end in you four breaking up,
in spite of trying to be loyal. Some
times such things are unavoidable.
You do not say how old you all are.
That would have some bearing on
the case. At any rate, try to be
loyal, just as If you were engaged
or married.

Americas Most Famous Beauty

aliAFAAAa . AhboA DNoNNJ
BACK IN those days of splendor
and luxury when Napoleon ruled
as emperor, Madame de Tallien
was regarded as one of the most
beautiful women of the court.
Madame de Tallien had one of those
peaches and cream compilations
about which girls dream. She
used a mixture of strawberries and
raspberries on her face to keep her
skin fair and white. And she al
ways bathed her skin with per-
fumed milk, in order to keep it
clear, smooth and fine-textured.
For, like many of the beauties of
the past, Madame de Tallien was
a firm believer in the beautifying
properties Of milk.
AS 1 told you recently, we wom-
en- today, too, have a great respect
for milk and its beautifying prop
critics. But we generally use it in
ternally for increasing our charms.
We have creams and lotions for
external applications that were not
known in Madame de Tallien's
time. We use these preparations
externally, and let milk do its
identifying work internally. For
as I told you, the copious con-
sumption of milk tends to flush the
entire system, clear the skin and
give the complexion an alluringly
soft, transparent appearance.
Can BE Used Externally
Milk can also be used externally
as a skin beautifier, and the best
way to employ it externally, Is to
use powdered milk and to incorpo-
rate it into a face mask. A pow
dered milk facial at least once a
week would be beneficial. 1t really
is marvelously effective in keeping
the skin soft, smooth and fiae-tex-
tured.
One Of the beauties of the pow
dered milk mask is the fact that it
is very simple to prepare and to
administer. Before applying this
mask, the skin should be thorough
ly cleansed with a pure, bland soap
and tepid water, and then with a

COMPLICATED tree surgery Is
work that should be left to profess
sional experts, but every tree lover
should know something about tree
surgery. Dead wood, for example,
should not be allowed to remain on
a tree, but should be removed an
nually. Dead wood should always
be cut back to the living wood. If
dead limbs are cut off correctly
the wound will heal over without
further damage to the tree.
In the above Garden-Graph, Fig.
1 shows the wrong way to hack off
a dead limb. This leaves a sore
thumb" stump which will not heal
correctly, and which Is often as
dangerous to a tree as q decayed
tooth is to human being. The
correct method Is illustrated in
Fig. 2. This calls for clean-cut
close to the tree trunk, which in
time will heal completely. Note
that there are no jagged edges to
harbor injurious insects or decay.

DandruH Is
Best Cured
BySharnpoo
Danger of Badness Is
Past After Person
Reaches Forty
BY LOGAN CLENDENING, NJ. ID.


WE DISCUSSED previously this
week the proper care of the hair
and scalp, and the real remedies
for their healthful preservation.
This simple treatment will help
to prevent the commoner disorders
Of the hair and scalp.
Probably the commonest of all is
dandruff. It is, in fact, so COM
mon that it is hard to say whether
1t is really disease or simply the
eXaggeration of a natural condi-
tion. The evidence of dandruf is
the fine white scales which can be
seen in the hair, come off on the
brush, and settle on the coat collar.
These are simply the desquamated
cells from the outworn upper layer
of the skin of the scalp. Everybody
has some of this. A mild sebor-
rhoic dermatitis or chronic inham-
nation of the grease glands of the
scalp will cause an increase of this
natural process of the falling off Of
the outer layer.
Most cases yield to frequent
hampoos-every two or three
days-with a soap which removes
the maximum amount of oil. Re-
sorcin Is a remedy for the more
severe cases.
Peculiar Hair Disease
Alopecia areata is a peculiar dis
ease of the hair and scalp, an es-
pecial form of badness. When
fully developed, the head presents
an unusual spotted appearance
with round areas where the hair
has disappeared, while elsewhere
1t is intact. It usually gets well
by itself, although appropriate
remedies will hasten the resolu-
ton. Some such remedies acquire
a mighty reputation as remedies
for true badness. But just because
they have cured a case of alopecia
areata is no reason they will be
potent on the old simon pure bald
ness. Which, incidentally, they are
not.
This real badness is something
that is not pleasant for a health
writer to discuss, but there is moth
ing hopeful he can say about it and
still be honest. The condition af-
fects almost exclusively males, and
is almost certainly hereditary. It's
ravages begin at about the age Of
rs, although it is not until 40 that
the process stops. If anyone who
is worried about becoming com
pletely bald reaches the age of 40
with some hair, he need have no
further worries. And that is about
the only hopeful thing medical SCI
ence can say on the subject.
Favus is a very distressing dis
ease that acts, in its first stages,
like dandruff, with scales forming
on the scalp and dropping off. But,
In fact, IL is much more serious
condition, caused by a minute
vegetable fungus which invades
the hair follicles and destroys the
hair. I have seen cases which the
patient has allowed to progress
until the scalp was covered with a
dense crust, with only few spears
Of hair, the patient being on the
verge of despair. Unnecessary, be-
cause it is a disease that is very
easy to cure with the X-ray and
other methods, and after the fun
gus is destroyed the hair comes out
again and returns to normal.

DEAR DIR. MYERS I feel as
II am writing to an old friend be-
cause I have read your column
for so long.
Il can't begin to tell you how
much it has helped me. I surely
needed help, too, because am now
only 21 and have three children.
They are pictures Of health, and
owe lot to your column, for many
things have l learned from it. 1 .
have problem with Shirley Mae.
She is just four and the Oldest of
our children. Jack is two and a half,
and Betty Jean is just a year.
Shirley will smack either one of
them just because they don't do
as she says, and at times she is
the most stubborn child / know.
And then again she is as different
as she can be. She will dry the
dishes without being asked, and
run and get me things 1 am look
ing for. She seems to just love
the other children at times, and
then next time 1 look she is being
very mean to them. She is a very
active child and seems to be always
into something. She Is smart in
learning things and has a wonder
full memory I have started her in
dancing school because she seemed
to like dancing quite lot. 1 guess
1 just don't have much patience
with her, but 1 seem to always
have about a million things to do
and it gets on my nerves, and then
before 1 know it I'm scolding her
for something. I want so much
to be good mother to my children
and 1 do try, but l don't know a
lot about it, guess. Please offer
me some suggestions on this mat
ter. My other two children are no
trouble as yet, and am trying my
best to do right by them. Thank
you for any help you can offer"
Don't Be Critical of Self
Please, young mother, don't be
so critical of yourself. To live all
day, and for day after day, with
three little children, is more than
most of us men could endure at all
not to mention keep good ma
tured.
wish you might find ways of
relaxing more and getting away
from those children a few hours a
day, and occasionally for a week
end. Perhaps your husband will
find ways to effect such a program,
even If he must play nursemaid.
Please neglect more things about
the house.
AS for Shirley Mae, make 1t
clear to her that since you, or her
father, is there, she need not worry
about disciplining the younger
children. Then if she persists in
doing SO. assign her, for each Of
fense, to sit doing nothing In a
chair where you can see her, for
exactly 30 minutes. Talk does no
good. I have a chapter on stub
bornness in my book, "The Modern
Parent"
Praise Shirley Mae generously
when she does well, Treat her as
older than the remainder. Let her
go to bed half hour later than
they do. You or dad read stories
to her too hard for the others to
enjoy. Be sure these younger ones
do not appropriate or destroy her
things. Be exacting. Maybe they
need more discipline than she does.
Bless your heart, I am sure you
are a good mother. Do take care
of yourself. And many thanks for
your encouraging words about my
column. I get discouraged, too,
sometimes, and kind words like
yours cheer me up.

The elm lets fall its leaves before

The very oak grows shivering
and sere,
The trees are barren when the
summers lost;
But one tree keeps its goodness
all the year.
Green pine, unchanging as the days

Thou art thyself beneath whatever

SONG
Often l have heard it said
That her lips are ruby-red.
Little heed what they say,
l have seen as red as they.
Ere she smiled on other men,
Real rubies were they then.
When she kissed me once in play,
Rubies were less bright than they,
And less bright than those which
shone
In the palace of the Sun.
Will they be as bright again?
Not if kissed by other men.
