What could be nicer than beauti-

after a skin cleansing and then so
lightly that it is hardly detachable.
Your rouge, lipstick and powder will
go on more smoothly and you will
turn fresh face to friends, radiat-

There are hand creams and hand

guess was there.
Women. in springtime gravitate
toward new makeup as they do new

4. DO y0dS have VI diet y You
wish to lose only in certain spots?
& Answer-Ifpyouare generally oyey-
weight, you will have to diet along
vith exercise in ordscasto acquire .
Dvely figtdS II yeI have the cor
rect number of pounds, you can lose
inches in measurements by exercise
alone. Be sure, though, that you
don't increase your calorie intake
because of increased appetite.
2. Can take weight of, no mat
ter how long I've had it? D. D.
Answer-Yes. You can lose 1t
even if it has been there for years.
3. Why does reducing make wrin-
kles in the face? P. L.
Answer-When you reduce by diet
alone, and too rapidly. the skin does
and, therefore, causes wrinkles.
Gradual reduction is the answer
to this problem. The older you are
the more slowly you should lose be-
cause the skin becomes less elastic
as the years roll by.
4. Is exercise good for insomnia? Z?
L. K.
Answer-Yes, the best possible
antidote. When you relax your
muscles you also relax your nervous
system. Outdoor exercise is even
better than indoor exercise.
5. Why am fat? Why do I need
exercise when I do all my work but
the washing and have family of
four? M. A.
Answer-Housewor simply does
not use the large muscles of the
body. 1t uses most of the smaller
ones, but, in order to improve figure
we must use the larger elastic
bands strenuously. We need this
kind OF exercise for health, too.
6. notice that you give potatoes
on your reducing diets. Aren't they
fattening? I Always heard they
were. TR
Answer-Potatoes themselves are
not fattening. One medium large
potato has only about 80 calories.
The butter and the manner in which
they are cooked may make them
fattening Cream sauce, au gratin,
etc. They are a valuable form of
starch, with a fair mineral and
vitamin content.

Require
Their Dads
Fathers Spiritual
Guidance Helps
Them Greatly
By Leffice Lee Street,

Dy LeIICe Lee OHStH
Today let us talk about a little
girls need for her father, and some
other time we will discuss boys.
A small miss development
toward womanly sweetness and
strength will be encouraged if her
father pays attention to her, if he
is kind to her and interested in
her little problems. He should show
her that he loves her and respects
her as a girl, not as boy.
This does not mean that he and
his daughter cannot play baseball
or 60 to football games together, or
that she should not climb trees and
otherwise be a regular small tom
boy. All It means is that it is also
wise for him to compliment her
upon a new hair ribbon, or to give
her delight by looking at the paper
dolls she has just SO carefully
painted or by expressing genuine
concern over an ailing doll baby.
The man who is totally Indifferent
to feminine interests and cannot
recognize any but his own tastes, or
see beyond his Office desk, is not a
person who makes his wife and
children happy. A woman feels de-
prived and lonely in the company
of such mental selfishness. and If
she has a daughter the child will
see and feel her mothers emotional
strain.
Among the undesirable reactions
such a situation can have upon a
little girl is to make her feel that
men look down on women and to
cause her to envy their position and
ability that her father finds SO
superior. She then will most likely
start to despise herself for being a
girl. and this mistaken attitude can
follow her throughout life and make
her miserable, discontented and
plagued with harmful inferiority be-
uefs.
In addition, she will not only
regard women with disgust but hate
men as we'll with an unconscious
and burning jealousy. The father
who shows disrespect and lack ol
sympathy with women can make hi
Young daughter believe that all mer
feel the same.
Such a child grows to be an adult
who misses entirely the ideal o.
womanhood, which is to be proud o.
her sex, secure in her usefulness a:
a citizen, sure of her equality witt
men and joyful over the secret hop'
and knowledge that some day sh'
may make a man happy as his Witt
and have babies of her own.
BY sincerest interest. by every
day courtesy and by showing hi
love, a father may enormously helr
toward guiding his small girl toware
this healthy mental attitude. and so
paradoxical as it seems, the mas.
culine influence is needed to buile
a womanly woman.

cially suitable. Buy her an ex-
quisite leather one that will last for
the duration, or invest in a summer
style of which she can't have too
many. Washable plastic bags
are ideal in white, red or navy, or in
q combination of the colors. (And
you might substitute Defense stamps
for the lucky penny.D Gloves for

matching key case-both made espe-
cially for the feminine contingent.
And, finally, whatever you choose,
try to add the sentimental touch
with real flowers, either a corsage
or a bouquet, because the woman
who doesn't adore to receive flowers
is the woman who, as far as we
know, doesn't exist.

Dear Miss Nowell-What can DO
to an old "dowdy" kitchen to make
it presentable? The floor is cement,
dirty and cement colored," but I
cannot afford to coyer II, as We may
not be here wy ldAE A4htre is an
old kitchen cabinet, some built-in
shelves with glass doors and long
wooden work counter. The room
needs light but more than that it
needs to be cleaned up. What would
cost the least and make this place
fit to work in for the next six
months? M. L.
Answer-Paint would probably be
the quickest and least expensive
method Of Transforming your dingy
kitchen. Two coats of cement paint
on the floor will give nice, clean
surface and if you want to be very
decorative you might spatter-dash
1t in two cQors. Paint the walls, the
old kitchen cabinet and the cup
boards all the same color, and this
will make it all slip into the back
ground" Then pep it up" with
gay decalcomania or hand-painted
designs and do a clever, bright
| window treatment and you will have
made headway. You might cover
the work counter with bright OIL
cloth and put oilcloth slip covers on
the top Of couple Of wooden stools
and make lunch bar out OF the
work counter. All Of these materials
will be inexpensive and will de-
mand only your own time and in
genuity to carry them out.
Dear Miss Nowell-I have six
pairs of white rayon net curtains
that are soiled. I was told that they
are not washable but I wondered if
I would dare to wash them as they
are expensive to have cleaned
K.C
Answer-It takes expert attention
to turn out good job even when
they are guaranteed washable and
1 would certainly not take chance
when they are not. They will last
for years and always look we'll If
you have them cleaned. but If you
wash them you will probably have
| to buy new curtains.

many others, is distasteful to some
people, causing nausea, and though
it is not serious it is certainly un-

that will help. Open your house

to the paint, actually takes most OF

this liquid will take the odor out OF

solution to your problem.
