r EVBKlLEDaiilR PHILADELPHIA; TUESDAY, MAY 23, lOifl. j; gSTHO'S.TO BLAME FOR MANY . AUTO ACCIDENTS? M'LISS ASKS 'adequate Law, Careless Drivel's and the f Mothers Themselves Probably All Gome in for a Share of It , SEEN m THE SHOPS c YESTERDAY tno 49th nutomobllo cnsualty slnco January wis recorded. A little girl playing out In front of her , hoino was run down and killed. Latterly, Virtually all of the Victims havo been children. ' Somo one is to blame for these nccl- Stents, because it's in the nature of nccl eMMa thai, had certain precautionary measures been taken, they would not have occurred, If the vehtcte hadn't been go ing so rapidly; if the child hadn't run suddenly Into tho street! if the mother had forbidden it the street If, If, If, a hundred "Ifs" suggest themselves after the tragedy has taken place. Seemingly, the answer to tho wholo question la! "Don't let the children play In the streets. What nro tho play grounds for, nnyway7" But consider tho poor mother who lives in a congested district. She must cither Iceop her children In a crowded threo or four rooms, 111 lighted and poorly ven tilated, where the air Is seldom, If over, fresh, or sho must consign them to tho streets, while she devotes her waking hours, and somo that nhoutd bo devoted to sleeping, to tho day's work, Supposo Bho does send them to the playgrounds. Must they not cross the streets to get thero? . Plainly so, long as economic conditions tnako it necessary for people to herd to gether, three and four families In tiny houses which boast no backyards, it will bo necessary for tho children to play In tho streets.. Indeed, tho story Is told by a housing Inspector of a- house In this city where six families were discovered to bo living In ono room! Llko a checker-board, tho floor space was marked off into six blocks, each family inhabiting ono of the squares. "But how can you live six, families In a room?" this man asked, shaken, in spito of a certain callousness his work had de veloped. "Oh, It was all right," tho answer came, "except whetk tho family in tho corner started keeping chickens!" Where, I ask you, can children who are forced to live like this play except in the street? Possibly, many of these accidents are nttrlbutnbte to the carelessness or reck tcssness of the drivers. Certainly a mA chlno going nt a modcrato rate of speed ought to be able to come to a stop before running down a pedestrian. But children aro llko animals In their blind belief that no harm can come to them. You'vo seen dogs run out sud denly nnd without warning In front of fast-going vehicles. Children do tho same thing. No driver on earth can avert a sudden attack like this, nnd the accident has happened beforo startled onlookers can realize what has transpired. It cannot bo denied, however, thnt many children arc permitted to become con firmed street gamins who have" not the excttso of crowded homes and no back yards. Their mothers deliberately turn them out after breakfast, with the hope that they won't show up until noon. Now that vacation tlmo approaches the problem becomes even more com plicated. Hordes of children will be turned loose on the streets. If scores of them have been run down during school times. It would be logical to expect tho number to Increase In tho summer. To this end It behooves every mother to hold up to her children the danger of plnying In the streets. In the meantime I am told that the law calling for tho punishment of speed fiends and stupid drivers Is Inadequate; that, apart from a slight fine and a warning, the autolsts suffer nothing. And It's n sad fact that In many cases tho families of motor victims nro not In a position, financially, to prosecute tho car owners. Possibly, somo day a child of rich and Influential parents will bo struck down, and steps taken to amend tho law. In tho meantime, perhaps a concerted protest from nil of those mothers whose children must, perforce, haunt tho streets un guarded nnd unprotected would havo somo weight. M'LISS. Letters to the Editor of the Woman's Page Address all tommtnileatlons to M'l.Un. cure of the Ermine Ledger. Write on one side of the paper only. Dear MXlss I have a great many freckles find do not know how to get rid of them I have used all kinds of creams and liquids, some that were very expensive, but all were of no use. Can you tell me of a way to cet rid of them? o O. D. Freckles are deposits of pigment under the skin caused by the action of the sun. wind and light. Since you have been so un successful with lotions. I should go to a good dermatologist and let him treat your skin. Tho time required to remove the freckles depends upon the cause and tho severity of the case, a specialist tells me. Any skin cllnlo In the large hospitals will treat you. Many creams on the market will lighten the freckles at least. nmp-tlrLlM In rezard to a statement made -fiT"your paper on Tuesday. May m. about serv- Snt. I wish to contradict ana stnti a srrnnt i a servant, not because she Is the "laziest thing under the sun" and would tfladiy pima of anything that precludes labor and fastens herself on some one else'a home because she ts aura ot board and shelter. No. that Is not true. Servants are servants because they com to tlls country, where they do not have parents and home. They know you can only set $6 at the most to start In a store or factory and must pay board, carfare, lunch money. What do they have leftr Time, that's all Take ltrln-r out. Five dollars Is the least a clrl worka for now a week. She sets board (and mostly the beat) and her lodgings besides the 18. There Is no carfare, no lunch. Her 15 Is olear and can be saved, sent home to help mother and daddy and pay doctor's fee when abe la 111. Can you say a Elrl ts lazy who works from 1 a, m. until 8 p. m. without sitting down only for, meals. Mo. you cannot. Girls have to work that lone tn many places and I can pro a It. for when they do sit down for a five minutes' rest, or perhaps half an hour. It Is; "llary. will you wash this collar for me. or clean these cloves, or look after the furnace, or there are some papers and leaves on the front porch, aweep them off. or watch the baby." etc. So that when Mary and Bridget can sit down they are afraid Airs. Madam might come out and see them and then give them something else to do, so consequently they make one thing last a long time Can jou blame them? No, blame the madam. There nre some good places where the madam Is kind and considerate She ghes the girls from - until fl to sew or read or rest In some form Such madams are waited on nnd get good eerlce sometimes Ingratitude, but not often do they lose And ngaln, servants do not get stuck In tiny third floor hacks. Third floor backs are usually large tone I have seen and do see has a single bed spotlessly white, a big leather-cushioned Morris chair, a solid library table nnd two chairs for It. a stand, a good big rug. not a cheap article: an Immense closet, three big windows, electric light and steam heat). Very few madams can get servants for 8 or 4 a week. They wish thev could An experi enced maid can get (1 and $7 and sometimes 18 a week. A cook enn get more Now. I say "Tnke your hats off to a girl who can leave home, parents and old friends and come to a strange land a atrnnger and take such n chance to sae and send money home." If you could see the poor, friendless, confiding strangers, as I see them see their heartaches until they grow accustomed to this conntrj you would say the same thing Hats ofT. Now. mistresses, try a little kindness. Interest your girls In something. Qhe them at least one hour for their own after 8 o'clock Is not anv time and see what jou get In return. Each can help the other, . In the meantime I say "Servants, cheer up " when woman suffrage gets in perhaps you wilt have a 10hour labor law like others, A SERVANT'S FRIEND. Dear M'Lles Your article on the problem of domestic help should appeal to even' one, and If you can Impress but a few to follow the Golden Rule iou will hae attained much Mr own experience of 23 ears' housekeeping has taught me that Infinite kindness and patience Is the best and only way. I hao observed that truly well-bred people have little trouble with their help, but we have today a specific class of so-called snobs or pretenders, whose ambition ts or seems to be to crush their fellow creature, and this class of workers especially It Is tho soul within- thero. that rebels, and until they realize this fact the struggle will go on. Thus wo do not look to the Ignorant, but to the Intelligent to lift up the weaker ones, We are Christians. A. S. . y - " - fk M 'ft. ... J W$m ' ft i , i'WAWW "M n VM wrMii ! 4?

Yellow, yellow everywhere and so few ho can really wear Itl At Atlantlo City last Sunday I took the count of colors and yellow led. Of a hun dred well-dressed women who parued me, at least SO per cent, of them wore It. Some of them wore It becomingly, others only smartly; that Is, of course, the well dressed women. Many there were, as there always are, who despite sallowness and Insignificance essayed It In an endeavor to ,, lie In style." Excepting green, I know of no shade more difficult to carry off well than yellow. "Not content with draining the face of every Vestige of color, it casts a yellow glow Which makes the nondescript woman look Ss though she had a combination of Jaun ifio and sea-sickness from which she eould never hope to recover. Yellow is always trying In the garish light of day. A clever touch, here and there on a costume punctuating It, but never dominating, Is often successful, pro vldlng the wearer Is a person with dash and a nice sense of sartorial discrimina tion. If she is a brilliant brunette, she Is of the chosen few for whom yellow was especially devised. She can wear even the most trying shades, sulphur, lime and lemon. A Tltlan-halred woman with a clear tkln and high color Is safe (If a Titian haired woman can ever be said to be safe) In the rich ochre yellows. But as for the rest of us, the blondes, the half-and-halfs and, the nondescripts, yellow Is not for us. We had best disregard Dame Fashion's calL Dear Madam I am making up a navy blue taffeta dress.

It Is hen to choose light patterns such as roses, violets and flowered effects on white ground, so that the possibility of their "crocking" Is lessened. A plain white or gray lining would really be serviceable. Few linings but these are guaranteed just now I should have my coat entirely lined, by all means, for the lining helps to preserve the shape of the garment. Half-llnlngs are used on top coats and wraps, but not on well-tailored coat suits, unless the ma terial Is very heavy. Messaline Is cooler, although light weight satin Is much used. Dear Madam I would like to make a fancy garden smock and hat for a girl friend of mine. She Is tall and light and has yellow hair I want to finish It soon, so If you could give me any advice on the subject I wish you would do so. What color and material do you think Is best? I do not want anything expensive. SCHOOLGinu A fancy Bmock Is made of pongee or Shantung Bilk, but If this Is too expensive, you might get linen and may be had at different prices, though that Is not cheap, either. Flowered cretonne Is very pretty Pale or Delft blue, natural pongee color or rose would suit yoir friend's type, A roll Ing sailor collar and Iacers down the front of the smock, like amlddy. are the basic trimmings. The smocking may be done In some dainty shade to contrast with the ma- ?ni -ft pockts senerous dlmen Btons on either side are useful for the gardener. The hat should have a soft crown and should have a brim wide enough to shade the face. B INEXPENSIVE GRADUATION GOWN HERE Is an Inexpensive frock for the graduate or any one who wants a cool and dainty summer dress. It Is of plain net combined M'lth an embroidered variety made over a net foundation. The embroidered net forms tho overbodlce and deep llounce on the skirt, the former being edged with narrow white satin ribbon. Its sur plice closing Is finished with a diminutive corsage bouquet of moss roses. Double ruffles edged with satin ribbon finish the puffed sleeves. While two ruffles trimmed with double bands of satin ribbon give a bouffant nppenrnnce to the skirt. Special value $9.98.

' Forestalling Wrinkles The skin of tho face wrinkles exactly for the same reason that the skin of an apple shrivels and by the same process r Tho pulp of the fruit under the skin contracts as the natural Juices dry up, consequently tho skin, which was once tight' and perfectly fitted, now being too large for the con tents, shrivels up and wrinkles. The same thing happens to the skin. When the subcutaneous fat of the cheeks and brow, which Is plentiful enough when a woman Is young especially under the eyes nnd at the corner of the mouth be gins to be absorbed and to disappear the cuticle begins to Bhrlvel and fall Into lines because It Is no longer fitted to the "lining" that was formerly beneath It. The flrBt evidence of this Is wrinkles from the nose to the corners of the mouth, and crow's feet around the eyes. These formations may be prevented, according to one specialist's belief, but It requires an eagle eye and an uncompromising honesty on the part of their possessor. Honesty, because nine women out of ten will not ad mit tho possibility of crow's feet until they actually make their appearance, then pre ventive measures are too late. The age at which these blemishes occur differs accord ing to the habits of life, worries, cares, and disposltlo- of the particular person has them. the particular person who But the 'treatment Is the same. fW Enameled Clocks Delicate tints, in travel ing cases, for the bureau.

This should be done at least onco dally, If not oftener. The operation should last about five minutes. The oil goes Into the pores of the skin readily, especially If they have been previously opened by hot com presses. Itenew tho oil on the tips of the fingers as often as necessary, for the nutri tion Is what keeps the skin from shrinking. Any good cream containing a sufficient amount of animal fats may be used for this process. Wool fat, taken from the fibres of the sheep's wool, Js one of the most valu able preparations In this line. It contains a tromendoui amount of natural oils, which, when applied to the skin, are assimilated greedily. This restores the shrinking sub cutaneous tissue to n full, rounded contour and keeps It that way. There Is always the danger, however, of nnlmal fats grow ing hair.
