Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
A friend of mine is engaged
and the engagement will be an

these circumstances, should she

The Dreamer

I can feel no pride, but pity
For the burdens the rich endure
There is nothing sweet in the
city,
But the patient lives Of the poor.
o, the little hands too skillful,
And the child-mInd choked with
weeds,
The daughters heart grown
willful,
And the fathers heart that
bleeds.
No, no, from the streets rude
hustle,
From trophies of mart and
stage,
would fly to the woods low
rustic
And the meadows kindly page.
Let me roam as of old by the
river,
And be loved for the dream
Away;
For a dreamer lives forever,
And a toiler dies in a day.

We find it advisable again to
speak of some of the skin dis
orders that should be treated by
a physician rather than a beauty
editor.
We receive so many requests
for a cure for moles, BIRTH
marks and kindred ailments,
and while we may be prepared
to give you a good treatment,
we feel that the most satisfac-
tory way to cure these things
is to see a physician and let
him diagnose the trouble and
then prescribe for it.
They have scientific methods
for removing these blemishes
without leaving scars, and no
one should depend on home
treatments until first knowing
Just what variety of skin trouble
is to be treated.
Moles are generally classed as
harmless, and for that reason
we may feel that some simple
home treatment should be used
for them. There are varieties,
however, that may cause a great
deal of annoyance if they are
disturbed oy an improper treat
ment. The kind that are dark
and deep-seated are easily in
fected once they are disturbed,
so let them alone until you see
a physician.
The ringworm belongs in this
classification, and while many
young persons may have one
from time to time and treat
them successfully with the old
method of painting them two
or three times with iodine, then
applications of sulphur oint-
ment, we advise you to be on the
safe side and ask your physician
for a treatment.
I am going to answer a ques-

and antiseptio effect on any
skin. It is quite simple, too.
Get a four-to-six-ounce bottle
of tincture of green soap at the
drug store. Pour out about half
a cup Of the liquid soap in a
dish, dip the wash cloth in the
soap and with a basin of warm
water scrub the face very thor
oughly, making thick lather Of
the soap. You must have your
hair tied back under cover so
you can cover every part of the
face and neck with the soap.
This should take about three to
five minutes.
After that remove every trace
of soap with cool water. Now
pat the face dry with a smooth
linen towel and sponge with
alcohol or an astringent. Be-
fore going to bed dust the face
with powdered boracic acid and
leave on all night.
You may do this twice week
for any skin trouble.

By Beatrice Fairfax

Since I've been answering
letters in this column, have
received thousands OF them
from women who have been
confronted with the agonlzmg
problem, of losing their huS-
bands after 10 and IS years Oh
marriage. The following is typl-
cal:
Dear Miss Fairfax:
MY husband was % and I
was 20 when we were married.
We we're ideally happy, and our
boy and girl had the best OF
homes. Perhaps I worked 100
hard to skimp and save, instead
of spending more time ana
money on myself. But there
was always the bright outlook
ahead, of owning our own
home.
INV husband loved me and l
imagined he would always we
owned our first home at last
a modest little bungalow-ano
as my husband became more
and more successful, we hao d
better home, and a summer
place at the seaside, too.
still, the habit of skimplng
and saving stuck to me, and l
couldn't bear to spend any
money on myself. And WIN
his growing success I didn't
notice at first that my HUSBAND
was becoming very popular with
other women. He seemed to be
an easy mark for every siren
and gold-digger who crossed MS
nath, I closed my eyes because
the children were so happy
These affairs with "ohlell
were more or less casual DC,
cause my husband was still iona
of me, and though they hurt my
nride I never nagged. Then l

seriously interested IN a very
attractive woman. She was no
Younger than I, but she hao
taken better care of herself
and was pretty.
I'm so unhappy that
wonder if this is the right de-
cision. My husband is deVoCeo
to the children, even if he seems
to have forgotten me, and MS
attitude toward them is still
full of pride and affection
What do you think of this sltua-
ton?

Jackson Whitlow fought off the
devil' long enough to raise the
modern nonstop fasting record
to SO days and received the ad-
miration of his mountaineer
neighbors who called him savior"
and the leading citizen Of Stoop-

Keepers of epicurean archives,
however, stole some of the hardy
Tennessean'S thunder by publish
ing that an Irish patriot, Ter
renee MacSwiney, abstained for
"a days in 1920, but was so weak
ened by the ordeal that he died
while starting on his 18th.
In Washington, for one person
at least, the featS of Whitlow and
MacSwiney are considered good"
but not so much to make a fuss
about. Alexis Schlein, 39-year-old
chef at the Russian Troika night
club, has on at least two occa-
Sions maintained 40-day fasting

CHILD COURT

AT CAPITOL

A compromise measure to
change the theory of handling
'uvenile court cases in the Dis.
ct from a criminal procedure
one that invests the judge
h Authority similar to that ex.
elcised by parents, is being
readied in the Senate District
Committee today for action in
the Senate.
This bill carrying approval of
its author, Senator Royal S.
Copeland, CD, New York, does
, not carry the amendments in
Guided in the bill passed by the
House which were suggested by
the Corporation Counsel.
Juvenile Dispute
It does contain several i'm
portant amendments affecting
the protection Of the children
brought before the court. On
the motion of Senator John H.
Overton, CD, La, at the ex-
ecutive meeting Of the Senate
District Committee late yesterday
when the bill was voted upon
favorably, a section was added
which denies the court the right
to take a child from the custody
of its parents, unless "hiS welfare
and the safety and protection Of
the public cannot be adequately
Safeguarded without such re-
moVal."
Opponents Of the bill have ar
gued hotly that the proposed meas
ure grants the court too much
power over children Of the COM
munity and this section was added
as safeguard.
Copeland Wins
On the controversial subject as
to who shall decide which cases
shall go before the court, Senator
Copeland won by keeping a pro-
vision that the judge shall appoint
a trained social worker as commits
Sioner, with the approval Of the
District Commissioners, to make
this decision. Corporation Counsel
ElWood Seal had previously writ
ten into the House bill a provision
that a member of his office should
be given this duty.
The bill will now have to be
passed upon by the Senate and go
to a conference between the two
houses Of Congress, where another
fight is expected.

Der Of bills were referred to sub

OF DAYLIGHT
TIME BILL

Daylight savings time propon-
ents will find no official sympathy
at the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, it was learned today.
1t isn't because officials Of that
agency are not personally inter-
ested in having more time for golf
or tennis or other daylight activ-
tiles, but since it is the duty of
the I. c. C. to fix the boundaries
of standard time zones throughout
the country, its task is being made
more and more difficult by the
various States and cities which
have taken it upon themselves to
shift the hands of the clock as
they see fit.
The I. C. c. does not object
specifically to the Sacks bill which
would institute daylight savings
time in the nations capital, but
looks upon it merely as another
step in the growing practice Of
making a mockery of the Federal
statute setting up and maintain
ing a standard time system.
This was the explanation given
today by Thomas E. Payne, ex-
aminer in the office of I. C. c.
Commissioner Clyde B. Aitchison
who has charge of standard time
zone investigations.
That body now wants Congress
either to put teeth in the act of
1918 which set-up daylight saw
ings time for the entire country
since repealed-or to take Con-
gress out of the time regulating

LOSES 80 POUNDS

That the Russians formula is
a sure way in which to cut the
avoirdupois can be gathered from
the fact that at the beginning Of
his last fast, Schlein tipped the
scales at $50 pounds. Big Of sta
ture, he is at an even 200. He
thinks the benefits from fasting
should not be wasted by failure
to exercise properly.

1t. Anyway, the Hotel 1sly which
boasts neither good food nor side
walk cafe, and is not a spiritual And
emotional paradise. is the most fas-
cinating Of hostelries, and I hav.
made study Of them in the far places
OF North America, Europe and Asia.
From It's decorations, which are early
oagnlo, to its service, which is friend
ly, it is an utterly amiable and charm
ing hotel, with sound effects, and it's
Gallo delights are far from any COM
promises with the foreigners. It must
be by chance that this pleasant abode,
which happily has been kept a secret
from the pushing aliens, should hap
pen to be inhabited almost entirely
by Americans.
IT is only fair for me to tell you at
this point that the charms OF the
1sly have had a certain unfortunate
effect upon my studies in the French
drama. In fact, I have been so
busy contemplating the ratio between
charm and noise in Paris that I some
how have had no time TO get around
to any Of the plays on exhibition in
these parts. The only thing I have
seen has been the Cotton Club revus
at the Moulin Rouge, and it is a pleas
ure to add that the visitors from Har.
lem are performing splendidly.

tertainment that has pace, melody and

enough, as the Dancing Maniacs.

pers when they left New York. Out
standing among the principals Is Bill
Bailey, who last appeared in New York
in the Cotton Club show with Ethel
Waters, and who is the most expert
tap dancer to appear since Bill Robin
son. l suspect that he is even
greater scientist of the tap dance than
Bojangles, but TO say so out loud would
be form of sacrilege
But l must get back to the Isy
for a moment. Among the beauties
Of the hotel is the fact that it gave
me excellent training for my expedi-
ton to Spain. The noises of an aerial
bombardment will seem pretty quiet,
compared to the familiar sounds OF a
bright morning IN the Rue Jacob
