But a little, a very- little dose of the
"blues" will bo a long way. Keeping out
wardly cheerful oven though there Is a
hurt underneath will serve to soften and
deaden that hurt and make one Inside
kappler and more contented with life.
THE foregoing reflections were probably
brought on by this Mter from n
trangcr within our gates who has been
chilled by the attltudo of tho aerago Phil'
Adelphlan. That the uncompromising at
titude toward one "one doesn't know"
causos many heartaches tvo often fall to
realize. Mrs. B. writes:
"Judging from the faces one mcctT fit
public places, such, for Instance, ns at
food shows,, art exhibltloniand In lectmo
balls, one comes to tho conclusion that
Cheerfulness and amlabll'ty have becomo
tost arts among tho so-called well bred
women of today.
"It Is considered tho correct thing to
Ignore' strangors entirely and reserve
ono's gracious manners and sweet Rmllc3
for those only with whom one Is very In
timate; and, indeed, aro they ulvvajs, even
then, In evidence?
"Now, while It Is bad form to address
trangcrs, I do think under certain con
ditions a bright, sympathetic smllo
flashed at your neighbor is a ery gra
cious courtesy.

Adoption of Child
To the rdltor of ll'oman'a Page.
Dear Madam While I enjoy readlnc this pace
every day, I hav never come forward with a
eiter or a question before My request 1 u
little out of the ordinary. I want a luby clrl.
VVo have been raurrled nine jeari and there have
been no babies. Mr husband sajs that to adopt
a child the parent should pay a consideration,
that for some one elae to take a tiny liab. renr
It. educato It and have It grow up to he n noble
man or woman Is worth a i onaideratlon from
the parent. 1 lone so for a tiny baby tliut I
would be willing to deny myself every pleasure
a ,., ,w niriA iwi it. i tiny -ery vvomun I
see pushlnc a taby carrlace 1 have nice
home and my husband has n goo.1 position. We
could easily afford either a I aby cirt or buj
1'Jease tell me throuch 3 our paper If my hus
bant la rlcht. hhouid we be pall for tal-'iir
one? (Mrs I K C 1.
If jou had a baby of jour own would ou
not be w llllng to spond your own monej- on
It, and to give It nl! the advantages you
could possibly afford? And In adopting a
child do jou not take over the responsibili
ties of pnthood Just as much as though
you bad borne It yourself? I think you
would hardly want to adopt a baby whose
parents could afford to take care of It yet
were not willing to do so, for there would be
something sadly lacking In their make up
Many tiny tots of good parentage are found
lings, and If you dccldo to take one of these
Into yourheart and home make It jour
ery own by legally adopting It.
Wedding Breakfast
To the Editor of tfosiau's Poor
Dear Madam Will you kindly let me know
What would be nice to serve at a weddlnc break
fast? K. I
A simple buffet breakfast might consist
of boulllom In cups, fried o)sters, .Fand
wlches of various kinds, Ice cream, cakes
and bonbons. A more elaborate one would
Include bouillon, chicken croquettes, broiled
oysters, chicken or lobster salad, rolls,
claret cup. Ices, cakes, bonbons and raited
nuts, but sandwiches, Ice!, and cakes only
would do for an Informal affair.
Plans for Child's Party
To the Editor of iromoit'a Poor;
Dear Madam I want to give my little clrl a
nartv and would like your advice on thH muliar.
Shall I ask little etrls only cr an equal number
of boys and ctrla? I shall Invite about thirty
children. Can you succest a way of entertaln
lns them! How should a girl of nine be dressed
for a party! (Mrs.) II, U.
By all means Invite 'both 'boys and girls.
It Is always better for children of both sexes
to become friends an they are growing up.
It savea them from solf-consclousness when
the time cornea for them to go to grown
up kffalri and It Insures a girl cood, healthy
friendships with boys of tier own age, as
well as girls.
For a small amount of money It Is easy
to procure the sen Ices of a. prestidigitator
or entertainer and your afternoon of fun la
assured. If you do not care to go to this
expense, however, the little ones might spend
one hour In dancing and pne In playing
games. Buch dancea aa the Virginia reel
and Paul Jones are almost aa much fun as.
game to a chld of eight or nine; then the
reiftahtder-af the, time could be taken up in
M-tf rrfreabnjenU.

I did not like to remember tha look on

HOW TO RID YOURSELF OF ONE
BANE OF BEAUTY-BLACKHEADS

The 1-umoui Spanish Trlnia Dunna
ANc'MUi:K of letters written by school
girls ftom all sections of America re
questing nn effective treatment for black
heads nnd pimples prompts the writing of
this nrtlcle
The cause of the so
called ' blackheads ' Is
tho clogging of the
pores with dust and
grease which hardens
and pits the face with
tiny black specks The
first step in getting
rid of these black
heads Is to soften the
surrounding skin so
that the hardened
masses can be easily
forced from the pores
A treatment that Is al
most linfnlllnir In Kli-

suits begins with the application of the
following ointment.
Roip liniment

llefore applying the ointment thoroughly
clfcipse the skin In this manner
rill a basin half full of hot w iter as
hot as can bo borne on the fate and
scrub the skin with a complexion brush
and a bland Boap After carefully drying
tho skin apply the ointment to eoch of
the spots and allow It to remain on dur
Ing tho night Wash off In the morning
with hot water and rinse with cold Con
tlnue this treatment until the blackheads
have disappeared To contract the pores
ipe the face with a little alcohol or eau

Frequently pimples appear with the
blackheads, nnd when this Is the case

for water nnd must be allowed to dry on
the skin
Another excellent treatment begins by
washing the faco with liquid green soap
and ,i complexion brush Tlio skin Is
then rinsed and dried and a paste mado
of flowers of Milphur nnd camphor spirits
applied A li)er of the piste Is smeared
over the skin and Is allowed to lemaln on
all night In the morning It Is washed
off and tho face wiped over with equal
parts of glycerin and rosevvater
In order to Improve, the condition and
texture of the skin a bath should bo
taken ever) day if this Is not nlteady
the habit, and n bath brusli used Insteid
of a cloth This will have a stimulating
effect upon the skin that will Improve Its
texture
U'liere are "white" pimples that aie less
common, but ns disfiguring lis blackheads
Their treatment differs a trifle A soap
containing tar should bo Ufccd Insteid of
green soap Soften the skin by scrub
bing It with soap nnd warm water: then
open tho spots IJJect the hardened mass
by gentle pressure, nnd anoint the spot
with spirits of camphor to contract the
hole Under no circumstances should a
pimple be opened without nppljlng an
astringent
Ho not bo discouraged If jou see no
improvement In your complexion aa the
weeks blip bj It sometimes requires
months to get rid of pimples and black

We shopped loi n whole week bujlng
nothing but mitiriuls nnd trimmings I
never haw so man) lovel) sliVs and llght
welpht worsteds 'I he challls lie lovel)
and am to bo had in the pn ttlc-t flower
ot Pcislun designs 1 bought two dresi
pitteins one with n cre.mi-col irtd bick
ground with pink lose-j and foig t-me-nots
scattered all over it and alio her of a
Persian design In soft tones of gta-blue
und io-e
We bought plenty of the old stnnd-bs
georgetto crepe and taffeta, and I asked
Mrs Mathon to make me a dark bluo after
noon frock, the tlrst thing combining these
materials
I left the designing of the frock entlrel)
to .Mis Mathon and It is a wonder' Tha
upper lnlf of the bodice and tho sleevw
nre of georgette crepe while a band of
taffeta richly ornamented with oriental
embroidery In feoft times of blue gieen
rid anil blick inclrclcs tho bodice nboie
tho waistline The rounded neikllno has
n draped collar of the trinpaicnt material
'lho bishop sleeves nre gatheted Into snugl)
fitted wristbands trimmed with dark bluo
ribbon-velvet Tucked frills of georgette
fall over the hands
Mis Mathon ni-ed a lining of blue net
for the bodice, Ilttlng It loosely to liriuro
straight lines
The skirt Is as graceful ns It can be
Tho upper portion Is of georgette with ti
wldo bind of taffeta about the bottom
Mrs Mathon gathered It about the top,
und as the sections aro gored It rlpplws
full about ths hem
I particularly like the girdle of bluo
velvet, which Is drawn looicli about tho
waist nnd tied nt tho side with Neveral
loops and ends In n most nitlatla manner
Mrs Mathon seemed to think the skirt
too plain so she nude n peplum of georg
etto bordered with taffeta, embroidered to
correspond with tho trlmnlng of the bodice
It fell to m lot to i natolder the bands
T used colored worsteds of a finer quallt)
than is usually bought for such needle
work The design was first drawn on
tissue paper, and after basting It to the
taffeta I embroldeted through It, tearing
the paper nwav after tlio design was fin
ished Mrs Mathon stitched the peplum
across the '.sides and back to give me the
long straight lino In front that I lll(o to
have In all of my frocks
Tho drop-lining Is of dark blue satin of
the softest quality Three nartow rult.es
nre used to form the flounce and the first
one Is gathered with a half-Inch heading
I took simples of the materials and
trimming to tho milliner and ordered a
picture hat of dark blue straw trimmed
with an ostrich plume of a deep rose color
Tho complete ceatumo Is Just what I
v anted to wear to teas and luncheons
Dad Is having Judge AVIIberforce nnd
his brother for dinner It has been two

said I must hav e ' ev er thing In ship-shape. '

Your Boys and Girls
Teach the children to drink water In
stead of visiting the sod i fountain each
time they feel thirst)-. Any pure water Is
healthy If a chemist gave you an nnaljsls
of )our drinking water it would, no doubt,
be found puie mid full of nil sorts of
health-giving minerals, which would In
spire you with tho deepest respect for the
water which )our children have no deeply
despised.
Drinking n glass of water n half to three
quarters of an hour before each meal will
rinse nut the little stomach and better
prepare It to receive the food that follows
Then between meals encourage them to
drink watet, from one to two glasses
Nature's demands for cither food or water
aio slmlllnr and to glvo the stomach food
each time one feels tho sensation of hunger
Is often the cause of chronlo stomach
trouble.
