The McCannS and the O'Rourkes
as we may as we'll -all these tur-

their names-do not look with
favor upon a marriage between a
son and a daughter of their war

finding a way. Here's the girls
letter:
Dear Miss Fairfax:
eve fell in love in church, and
we feel that our love was started
in Heaven. I'm Is and Terry is
%, and we were desperately in
love for a whole year before We
ever spoke word.
"YOu see my family is very re-
IigiOuS, and we all go to church
twice every Sunday, and Terry's
family are the same. We have
connecting pewS, and we used to
look at each other over the parti-
tiOn.
DADS ARE MAD
"Our fathers are awfully mad
with each other because they're
both in the contracting business
and Dad thought Mr.. McCann
worked against him on the sly
and got a fat contract, SO they
stopped speaking to each other.
"Then Terry began coming to
church. You see he had been IN
school in Canada for long time,
and then he had been in Out-Of-
town business for a year, and /
didn't remember him much before
he went away.
"The first time saw him 1 just
lost my heart to him. He was so
stunning looking! He kept look
ing at me in church, and / looked
back at him.
"The next Sunday 1 raced and
got in the pew first, and he did
the same thing. So we were really
sitting next to each other, as our
pewS are side by side, and we had
lots of chances to look and smile.

Terry opened his prayer book as

ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Il belong to a bridge club, and,
due to financial reasons, 1 would
like to resign from the club.
81 would rather write to the
next bridge hostess and have her
read the note before the rest of
the members and tell them 1 am
leaving the club. Would this be
proper, and how should such q
note be wOrded? "W."
If your bridge club has officers
you should, properly, send your
resignation to the secretary, or to
the president. If there are no
officers, then your plan to write
to the hostess of the next meeting
Is a good one.
Your letter of resignation would
read something like this:
Dear Mrs. Bridges Tor Dear
Nary:
my life has become so full of
tlme-cOnSumlng and budget-cOn-
Suming responsibilities that I
must, unfortunately for me, re-
sign from our delightful Bridge
Club. 1 can't tell you how broken
hearted 1 am about this, for 1
have had such special enjoyment
in our meetings and in the charm
ing friendliness and hospitality
Of every member Of the club.
will you please be so kind as
to read this note of resignation
at the next meeting of the club,
which is to be held in your home?
"And will you add this message
too Of my deepest thanks for the
goodness of all the members to
me, and for all the happy times
that / have had at the meetings?
Dearest greetings to you and
the other members of the club,
and l hope to see you all soon.

Beauty
Treat tn7ent for
Dry Skin
By DONNA GRACE

"Dear Donna Grace: Will you
please print the method used for
wry skin? The water where live
is SO hard and has caused my skin
to become dry. What can 1 do?
Also, my little girl bites her nails.
What can 1 do? Right now 1 am
on your Today diet and hope 1
will have as good luck as some of
your readers did. MRS. w. w."
Dear Mrs. w. w. There are some
solutions made up for softening
water, but you will find a little
borax added to it will be helpful
and will really remove the harsh
ness. A quarter teaspoonful to a
basin and tablespoonful to the
average tub bath is the amount
to use.
The dry skin, however, should
not be subjected to too much
washing. It needs soothing treat
ment that may be given with
creams and oils to supply the oil
the skin lacks. Take your thorough
baths at night and then rub the
skin with cream or oil. Wash the
face with creamy suds, only about
once or twice a week, and depend
on your creams and oils for cleans
ing on the other days.
Train your little girl to be con-
Scious of the beauty of her nails.
Have her scrub them with soap
and water and oil them. Show her
how. they should be filed and
buffed. Use an emery board for
filing, and when they are in good
condition, make her realize how
much nicer they would be if they
were long and smooth.
It would be we'll to take her to
a shop occasionally to impress on
her the importance Of good nails
and you will find the pride she
will feel in her nails will train
her to keep them nice. You could,
of course. paint them with bitter
aloes, and this may discourage bit
ing. When she has done well, re-
ward her by touching the finger
tips with little toilet water.
There is no reason why you
should not have success with the
diet if you will follow it faithfully.
Repeat it if you wish.
Jean Whaley: We do not give
the method for removing moleS,
but advise you to consult your
physician. Never tamper with any
mole, as some of them are a spe-
cieS that should not be touched un-
til they are safely walled off by
healthy tissues, and only your ply
Sician can diagnose such things.

the NOrmalizing Exercises, If you
care to have them. Enclose a
