One: they have a Sreshenie: effect on the skin an siimialine cleansing. Two: they have a notion that anything that is * messy and troublesome must be es- pecially effective. They love to with cosmetics, and why not? young-looking and at- is a life-time job, and they well enjoy it. these treadments the sp- e ¢ an, so she had best Lg every member Keeping tractive .. might as "During ' select a time wh "7% of the family is out of the house-- - 3 even the smallest children--since a glimpse of mama, looking like something that had crawled out from under a stone, would scare them half to death. It is one beau- ty rite that must be accomplished in a state of isolation. There are various packs, each de- ** signed for a different condition, and all can be recommended. The ' most popular one, given in beauty f shops, is called the clay pack. It is made by mixing kaoolin -- refined Fuller's earth--with witch hazel © until the mass is the consistency of whipped cream. This is recom- mended if the skin is oily; it will ' send blackheads into a state of 5! dissolution, The mixture is spread evenly over a clean skin surface ' and, as the pack has a mild bleach- 44 ing effect, the neck must be in- # cluded. If the skin is dry, but in- clined to carry black points, a lig- uid cleansing cream is substituted for the witch hazel. So far, so good, you are ready then to pick up your mystery story, lie down for half an hour of relaxa- tion. By that time the application will have become fairly dry.

It has astringent qualities, tightens the epidermal coat somewhat. Beat the egg white, add half a teaspoonful of olive oil, spread over neck and face and let dry. After twenty minutes, lave it away with warm water and do a bit of creaming as the finishing touch. Almond meal, mixed with olive oil, makes an excellent pack to be | used when the skin is chapped and | sensitive. ~ Cooking By The Clock Means Delicate Tenderness, Full Flavor Commercial establishments and institutions have used pressure coosers 10 auvaniage for years but cooking under pressure is a fairly new experience for home- makers, When a new or improved way, of doing any household task, is discov- ered there are always a few daring women who try it out, If they are satisfied that the job is done easier or better they tell their friends and neighbors. Small, home-sized pres- sure cookers are being used in more and more homes and are now standard equipment in the bride's kitchen. Pressure cooking saves fuel and time but women must learn to use this ne% piece of equipment cor- rectly in order that it will serve them well and cook the food so that the members of the family will like it, The pressure cooker allows the Woman who works to perform ap- parent miracles in meal prepara- tion. It is also a boon to the home- maker on her afternoon' out, for she is able to serve a delicious din- ner half an hour after she arrives home. Economy cuts such as tongue, heart and stewing fowl, which' ordinarily require such long | cooking, may be cooked to delicious tenderness in an hour or under Vegetables are cooked in a mat- ter of moments and can be served in all their delicious freshness, There is, however, a danger of over- Sooking and spoiling these delicate The wonderful food value of whole grain cereals gave them a permanent place on the breakfast menu when the coal stove burned all night and they could cook .+ Slowly for long hours.

French Africa Would Stop Dowry System Brazzaville, French Equatorial Af- rica, -- (AP) -- A strong movement is afoot here and in the Belgian Congo to end the ancient and tra- ditional dowry system which for SeDtios has proved the virtual ru on of poor yo rospec- tive husbands, Jum» African deputies in the colonials government, sociologists and pro- gressives are behind the movement. Understandably, they are strong- ly backed by the young native bachelors who, according to tribal custom, must pay out exorbitant amounts to the family of the girl of their choice before they can marry her. Opponents of the system say dowry is so high that most of the healthy young working men would rather stay single than face the Bliiost ssrialn financial ruin, ey say it is virtually a tem of bride-selling. It tends, ther say, € marriage the privilege of only rich old men, especially where polygamy is still the practice.

BUNDESEN, M.D. COLIC The colicky baby is not only mis- erable himself, but he also manages to keep his parents in the same state most of the time, and often causes tlie doctor trouble as well, In pain much of the time, these bebies cry a great deal. During an attack, they have a most anxious facial appearance, a swollen abdo- men, bent legs, and aimlessly wave ing arms. The discomfort is due either to gas in the stomach and bowel, or to spasm of the stomach muscles. Nasal Discharge . Sometimes, together with colic, there will be such symptoms as a watery nasal discharge, rattling sound in the throat, spitting up, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, and constipation or diarrhea. The baby with colic is always ready to eat. Even .though he is picked up, he continues to cry. It is believed by some physicians that colic may be due to allergy or over-sensitively, particularly to the proteins of cow's milk, If the breast-fed baby has colic, the sen- sitivity may be due to something the mother. includes in her diet. In treating colic, it is important to make sure that the baby's milk mixture is properly made, that he gets enough food, and that it is given at a proper rate, which is nei- ther too slow nor too fast; that not too much sugar is included in the mixture, and that the baby is kept in calm and peaceful surroundings. £ attention to these things does not produce a cure, a change to some type of modified milk, may be help- ful. In some cases, it may be ad- visable to obtain a substitute for the cow's milk. There are vegetable milks available which sometimes can be successfully employed. Now and then, the physician may advise the use of some spasm-re- lieving drug, such as atropine or a quieting drug, such as phenobarbi- tal. Of course, these must only be employed under the direction of the doctor. To bring immediate relief from an attack of colic, the giving of an enema or injection into the lower bowel, or putting heat on the abdo- men is helpful. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS N N.: What are the symptoms of atrophic rhinitis? Answer: In atrophic rhinitis there is scar formation in the nose; the nose becomes unusually rheumy, and a bad odor develops. At the present time there is no cure for atrophic rhinitis. The only thing to do for this condition is to irrigate the nose regularly with an- tiseptic solutions.

LJ Necks are natural prey for beauty troubles. After the age of forty a neck that has been perfectly pre- sentable can go into a state of col- lapse. The tissues will be saggy, or fiddle strings will appear. The poor dear who suffers these de- fects will raise her voice in despair and think that fate is treating her roughly. Had she been as kind to her neck as she has always been to her com- plexion, using soothing creams and lotions to keep the skin firm and underlying tissues in a normal con- diiton, the pillar, that holds her head on her shoulders wouldn't have played beauty traitor and gone back on her. It just didn't have the strength to fight against Time's mean fingers. When creaming your complexion at bedtime start at the base of your neck.

Rub toward the chin tip, then toward the ear lobes. Don't cverlook the fact that the back of your neck may look dingy, so give that portion a few smart slaps and pats. Clasp your hands together at the back of your neck, move it from side to side. These movements will pull hard on the fibers in front, will strengthen them, make the tis- tues firmer. Cold compresses, ap- plied after the massage treatment, are recommended by beauticians. One rule you must keep in mind; never let your chin droop. Do that, stand in front of a mirror, note the effect. The flesh under your chin and on your throat will sag, lose tone. Pull up your chin and the tissues will fall neatly in place, bringing smoothness of surface. Girls who sit at desks, who tip- tap on typewriter, women who sew all day, must be mindful of the pose they assume. They must sit tall, chest out, head balanced. TIPS FOR TEENS:- By ELINOR Did you have a vacation romance or date schedule that's now as dead as summer? Here's a girl who wants to break the sad news gent- ly to her date that she's not in the "serious" state of mind that he is. How can she do it painlessly? "The boy I've been going with all summer is getting serious," she writes. "I like him but not enough to feel the same way toward him as I think he feels toward me. I would like to break it up, but I don't know how to go about it. "I have thought of refusing any more dates, but I am afraid of hurt- ing his feelings. I have also been thinking of telling him outright how I feel but I'd be so nervous that I'm afraid I'd mess things up or say something wrong. I would be very grateful if you could help me in breaking it up between us." Ans.--There's no way to break it up without hurting his feelings, but it wouldn't be fair to either of you to continue to take up this boy's date-time--and your. own -- When you don't really feel as he does. You can probably break it up gradually and spare his feelings somewhat if you date him less often and date other boys between your dates with him. He'll soon realize that you do not want to "go steady" .. and your dates together can gradually grow fewer. If he men- tions that change In your date- schedule together, explain that you value his friendship, but don't care to "go steady." | (For help with --ersonal prob] A "Vacation Romance" Problem WILLIAMS lems, wrote to Elinor Williams at this paper, enclosing a stamped, selt-addressed envejope.)

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood -- (AP) -- Longtime singing star Blossom Seeley, here to prepare her life story for the screen, says the modern song- stresses don't have the stuff that made the oldtimers great. "They don't have to work for it," sald Miss Seeley as we lunched with Benny Fields, her husband and a singing star in his own right. "These young girls have everything handed to them. They are placed before a microphone, they get a big publicity buildup and suddenly they are stars. "But they have no individuality, no style, no heart. They all sound alike. Back in the old days we had stars like Nora Bayes, Fanny Brice, Belle Baker, Sophie Tuck- er, Marian Harris. Each one was different. We could all play the same vaudeville bill and the pub- lic woundn't mind. Because each of us had a different style." Blossom, who made "After You've Gone" and many other song hits famous, said the youngsters lack the training of their elders. "I started out as a kid in San Fransisco," she said, "I had years of training before all kinds of audiences--honky-tonks, clubs and vaude--before I hit the Broadway bigtime." Blossom had to "feel" her songs. Once, when she was starring for Florenz Ziegfeld, she asked to have a song removed from the show be- cause she didn't feel it. "I am Ziegfeld and you will sing it," the producer declared. "I am Seeley and I quit," she answered. And she did. Blossom, who has made a few appearances in recent years, hint- ed that she might return to the business after her film biography comes out. The younger singer might well catch her act and' see how it's done. Schoolgirls Make Music from Bamboo Montreal--(CP) -- Musical bam- pipes are giving a group of Montreal's schoolgirls new interests in melody and fun at the same time. 'Girls attending The Study, a private school for girls from five to 17 years of age, are instructed by Miss Ruth Blanchard. The girls make their own pipes, but first are given special instruc- tion on how to use the tools that are needed. Each girl makes her instrument distinctive, painting it to suit her taste. At Christmas the girls hold a concert at which the offertory mu- sic is blended with pipe and voice. "There is something fitting about their use at a religious service," says Miss Blanchard. "It was from pipes such as these that there evolved the great church organs we know today." Good Pickup Work These little medallions are so simple to crochet and to memorize --you'll love them.

CUTICURA SOAP amd OINTMENT oS ° Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Recently one of our clients died, and the gentleman in our office who ser- viced his account thought he should send the widow a nove of condo- lence, since he had met her on a few occasions. He believed that the note should be handwritten on our association had been a business one. However, I believe that a condo- lence note should be written on plain 'paper, regardless of the asso- ciation. Will you please tell me your opinibn? ° A Daily Reader. I agree with the gentleman who wrote the note of condolence .. . that because the association be- tween him and the office client had been a business one (and apparent- ly entirely a business one) it was completely appropriate and proper for him to write the note of sym- pathy on the business stationery. Indeed I think that undoubtedly to the widow this would have made the note an even more welcome tri- bute, the words of memorial to her husband from a business associate. And I agree with the man who wrote the note that it should be handwritten, not typewritten. WHEN BRIDE'S TABLE AND PARENTS' TABLE ARE COMBINED Dear Mrs. Beeckman: What seat- ing arrangements would you sug- gest for the table at the wedding reception: bride, bridegroom, best man, maid of honor, bride's mother and father, bridegroom's mother and father, bridegroom's small bro- ther, the pastor and his wife and small daughter, a close friend of the bride and bridegroom (who is to take pictures for them.)

At his right, the bridegroom's mother, the woman guest of honor, The pastor is seated at the left of the bride's mother; his wife is seat ed at the left of the bride's father, The second usher might be seated next to the pastor's wife.

Ale so I doubt if the couple's friend who is to take pictures would ex: pect to be seated at this table but if so and the bride wishes, she (or he) would be seated in the place most congenial.

Completed in just under three weeks and comprising 500,000 stitch- es, the charming ballet - skirted gown is draped enchantingly over a crinoline hoop and a frou-fou of taffeta petticoats. 'The simple bod- ice, in a finer lace stitch, is topped by a cape-collar, off-the-shoulder neckline and the only touch of color is a narrow gold kid waist - belt. The gown was knitted between daily chores by Mrs. E. N. Reed, a housewife and mother from Sidaup, Kent. Requiring 27 ounces of two- ply fingtring wool costing 9 pounds ($27), the dress is valued at 50 pounds. The job was undertaken at the request of a well - known British wool firm to prove that hand-knit- ting does lend itself successfully to the textural softness and adaptabil- ity required in top-ranking glamor gowns. Smartness in Wool The rest of the show, sponsored by London's International Wool Sec- retariat, displayed td advantage the glamor possible in both hand and machine - knif woollies. Two hand- knitted wool suits have all the smartness and chic of a well-cut tweed and a turquoise golfer jacket in heavily - ribbed rough four-ply, would keep out the roughest winds and stay smart in all weathers. Two - ply machine-knitted wool- ies included cashmeres so fine they appeared transparent and yet were equally suited to a rough tweed skirt or a smart cocktail suit. Two = ply is used again in hand- 1 knitted white evening sweater with off-the-shoulder cape neckline. A lovely lace stitch stole matches the lace stitching of the sleeves and neckline. These handknitted articles will be ready for sale to next year's visie tors, but patterns of the designs and the wool required will also be availe able for knitters who prefer their own workmanship.

Star of the show is Montreal's John Pratt of "Navy Show" fame" who moves easily in his role the appealing comic in such a teasing bit of humor as "The Reluctant Doukhobor."
