The presence 'of blackheads Implies a,

comes with un oily skin and large pore.i.
Blackhead,!, are caused by. an accumulation
of fatty waste matter, mixed with dirt
which collects In the enlarged pores. Reg
ular use of a flesh bnfsh will often prevent
troublo of this kind unless there is some
internal reason, In vihlch case consult a
physician. The smaller blackheads usually
yield to an application , of liquid green soap

DIARY OF A WELL-DRESSED GIRL
How She Helped Cousin Berenice Select a Smart, AlhBlack
Dinner Dress
TfOST of the family thinks that Cousin
Uercntce has queer Ideas. I'm not so
sure that they nro right, if she chooses to
do differently from tho rest of tho clan It
doesn't naturally follow that sho Is "queer."
Dad cannot understand why she prefers
living alone', with only servants to care
for her, to-' a more pleasant llfo with some
of her relatives. Aunt Katheryn criticized
liei for not. selling her flno old homo to
the millionaire who has offered Her such
a pile of money for It, while mother puz
zled over tho fact that she will persist In
wearing mourning when Aunt Illlzabcth
passed away ten years ago.
This Is all qutte clear "to me. Cousin
Berenice Is decidedly sentimental. She
could not bear tho thought of nny one but
a member of her family living at l'lne
crcst, nor would she board up Its windows
and desert It to lite eliewhore. Hho wears
"pablo garments" because she has grown
co used to them that she wouldn't look
like herself In any othors. Cousin Uercnlce
Is not queer, Just full of sentiment.
She comes here semiannually to buy her
clothes, and lately I've been going with
her to help select them. Sho pays the most
extravagant prices for things, but they are
lotely. Truthfully. I wouldn't like Cousin
Berenice to wear colors, she Is too beau
tiful In all-black.
On our shopping trip yesterday she rhose
a smart afternoon frock of georgette crepe
ttlmmcd with bands of corded silk. Tho
bodice was charming In its slmpllolty, cross
ing over In surplice fashion. A-deep fichu
collar ot the crepo edged with a narrow
Plaited frill finished the V-Bhapcd neckline
The bishop sleet es are gathered Into wrist
bands of tho corded silk finished with frills
of georgette.
Th skirt had a full tunic trimmed with
bands of corded silk which opened tn front
to cover a full underskirt of georgette.
Cousin Berenice is slender enough to look
well In a frock of this type.
After trying on flvo dinner gowns sho
decided that a model of silk net and crepo
meteor was the most becoming.
The foundation of the bodice Is net softly
arranged over a lining of black moussellno
de sole. Softly draped bands of tho silk
pass over the shoulders, and the square
decolletage Is outlined with bands of dull
Jet beads I thought that the sleeves were
particularly gracefol Two circular frills
of net with plcot edges were arranged over
A STORY FOR SPARE MOMENTS
Bad Luck and a Ladder
KITTY BARIUNQTON- stepped quietly
and with great dignity from the top
of the stepladder to the extremely high
stove (a great bargain her husband had
lecently acquired at nn miction). Now
every one knows how hard It Is to be dlgnl
ded on nn occasion, especially as the stove
had a tall urn on Its top for holding water,
this surmounted by a tall man on horse
back. But Kitty did It. exclaiming, "You
old ark of a stote!" and also In this act of
dignity she pushed the stepladder so that
It fell to the floor with a crash, breaking
Into three pieces.
' ".Vow I've done It I" said Kitty. "But It
was an old rickety thing, anyway," and she
proceeded to wipe tho walls and celling as
far as she could reach. Then she was ready
to descend, but a hod of coal on one side,
a footstool nnd the broken stepladder on
the other pretented her
"If I Jump." said Kitty, "I shall sprain
my weak ankle or perhaps break my neck.
Xo, thank you. not for Kitty," and she
sat down on the broad Iron mantel shelf
which had once shadowed a deep fireplace.
After humming a while, contentedly swing
ing her feet, she turst Into Bong,.thus enter
taining herself 6hlle waiting for assistance.
1 She was jPthetlcally, imploring the pow
ers that bo' (o "take her home to the far
sunny South" when she heard a knock.
. "Come In," she called. And, lower,
"Here's where little Kitty comes off her
perch."
In response therp stepped briskly through
tho door a short, smiling, red-headed young
man. who looked all around without per
ceiving the lady on the mantel (and also
tho stepladder) and began In a recitative
tone. "I would like to see the lady of the
house, little gltl, at once, as my time Is
very aluable"
The lady of the house lopked down at her
short work apron and slippers and ex
ploded: "Then, why In the world don't you
look at her?"
"Oh. I beg your pardon," he said, hum
bly VI see now you are a young lady. My
mistake, I assure you. I havo here a copy
of the greatest encyclopedia of useful
knowledge In the world. nerybody needs
It, the scholar, the business man, ntid the
whole twenty-set en tolumcs make a nice
seat for the baby to sit on at the table, and
cost only $27. Phenomenal weather, Isn't
it, miss?"
"Xo, It is not," she snapped "We must
expect such weather at this tlmo of the
year: and now that you hato told me all
about jour wonderful books, please go out
quickly and close the door behind you and
leave me to my solemn thoughts."
"Solemn !" ho snorted. "You were sing
ing like a steam calliope when I knocked."
"Cal-ll-o-pee," she corrected. "I like to
hear people, and especially book agents,
pronource tljelr words right,"
"I stand corrected, because you have
not asked me to sit," he returned. "But be
fore I close the door behind me, allow me
to rescue you from the consequences of the
household catastrophe which has befallen
you "
"Huh !" quoth she. "I am simply sit
ting on a lofty seat thinking thoughts, 'far
above the smoke and stir of this dim spot
that men call earth.' I always sit here
to think deep, deep thoughts; so pleaso close
the door gently behind you as I requested
ou to do In my hitherto unheeded re
marks." "Surely, and he efraced himself rapidly,
slamming the door.
He went striding up the road as though
he expected the evil one to try to catch
him. and asking at the next house how
(ong that young lady below had been In
sane. Mr. It Informed him that she
was all right yesterday, and registered a
tow to go down after supper and see what
tho matter was
Kitty, left to herself, discovered her box
of crochet work and set to work, scolding
indignantly as she recalled the conversation.
"Impudent thing ! Do you suppose I would
let him help me down after that? I guess
not. I'll stay here until Phil comes first,
but, heavens and earth! I must get down
before that time. But there's one good
thing about my being marooned on the
mantel. I shall get a lot ot this edging
done," and .she worked away busily, to be
startled at the expiration of ten minutes
by the telephone ringing her number.
"Thero I know that Is Josephine want
ing me to go for an auto ride. Isn't that
a shame? But perhaps she will call again,
and the next person that comes r will ask
to help me."
After tnree rings the telephone was quiet
and the silence was not broken for fifteen
minutes. Then a man's feet came tramping
by the house, and through the bay window
she saw ft rag man with his steelyards.
He knocked twice and tried the doer.
"Xo, no," screamed Kitty, as the man
stuck htq head In the door, "go away,
quick." . ' "
"Aw right," grinned the man, seeing her
position, and oft he went, leaving the door
ptrtly open.
'Lucky it's April." remarked Kitty, "or
1 should freeze. Here I have sat for an
hour and three-quarters, ever since 1 o'clock,

"Mrs. Lewis! Mrs. Lewis!" But Mrs.

MY MARRIED LIFE
By ADELE GARRISON
"TVON'T ever ask me to ride In the sub-
- way again. It Is the most uncomfort
able place I ever experienced."
The elder Mrs. Graham snapped the
words at me, If one can use such a word In
connection with the stately dignity of my
mother-ln-law( as we climbed the stairs
from the South Ferry station to tho street.
Her usual dignity appeared to bo a trifle
ruffled at the edges anyway, 1 noted, smil
ing Inwardly, albeit with much mental
trepidation. I knew the real reason for her
displeasure. It was not tho discomfort of
having to stand In the subway car which
had upset her, but the ridiculous mistake
of my old acquaintance, Mr. Lawrence,
whom wo had met unexpectedly.
He had not know that I had married,
and when I told him ho had promptly con
gratulated me upon being Mrs. Blckett!
And Dicky's mother had heard htm 1
I knew she was too proud to make nny
referenco whatever to the Incident. But I
also knew that she would nevertheless
resent it In every little taunting wny Bhe
could. Her complaint of the subway was
,the first shot. I felt that I had reason to
dread the day.
"Why, we are not at the harbor at alt 1"
This was the next remark ns we reached
the entrance to the kiosk nnd faced the
ferry buildings which separated us from
the water of tho harbor.
"You cannot see the water for those
buildings," I explained patiently. "You
will get a wonderful view of It from the
Aquarium, the old Castle Garden"
"Oh, yes. Castle Garden. I remember
that very well," she Bald with more ani
mation, and then querulously, "but I do not
see It."
''It Is right over there," 1 said, Indicat
ing it by pointing, something 1 detest doing.
But I felt a breathless anxiety to smooth
down my mother-in-law's ruffled feathers
In any way possible. She turned her eyes
to the squat old building, which has seen
so many vicissitudes, and which has helped
so much In the making of tho city's history.
"But vi hat a distance away," Bhe ex
claimed. "Was there no nearer way of
getting to it"
"The' Bowling Green station is nearer,
certainly," I Bald coldly. "But you said
you wished to go to the end of the Island
first and then walk up. You will get a
wonderful view by walking along the sea
wall."
"I do not remember making such a re
mark," Bhe said stubbornly, "but It does
not matter, let us hurry nlong. I um freez
ing here."
I looked nt her In astonishment It was
my first lesson In the futility of ever con
tradicting my mother-in-law, or recalling to
her memory anything she had said and
which she did not wish to remember. I
mentally Jotted down tho fact for futuro
guidance, and walked by her side, accom
modating my steps to her slower ones.
, But as the full view of the harbor burst
upon our eyes, even Mrs. Giaham's 111-na-turo
had to vanish.
A WO.VDKRPUL VIEW
"It Is wonderful ! "Wonderful 1" she said.
"Walt a moment. I want to fill my soul
with It."
I felt iny heart warm toward her. I
have always loved the harbor. Many treas
ured hours have I Bpent watching 'it from
the sea wall or from the deck of one of
the Staten Island ferries. To me it Is like
a loved friend. I enjoy hearing Its praises.
I shrink from hearing It criticized. Mrs.
Grahani's hearty admiration mado me feel
more kindly towoird her than I had yet done.
Neither ot us spoke again for several
minutes. My gaze followed my mother-in-
law's as she turned from one marvel of the
view to nnothcr.
Five miles away, yet looking much nearer,
were the hills and slopes of Staten Island.
The New Jersey shore stretched away on
the right across the North River. Gover
nor's Ibland, with Its quaint old fort, Castle
Williams, on the point, was on our left,
and beyond It. across the Last River, we
saw Brooklvn's warehouses, with an oc
casional church steeple rising to prove 'the
boftiugh's right to Its old name, "City of
Churches."
The Statue of Liberty was almost di
rectly In front of us, and near It the austere
Immigration buildings on Hills Island were
softened by the rays of tho winter sun.
I never see the Juxtaposition of Liberty's
Statue and the Ellis Island building without
a little thrill of patriotic Joy at my henrt
that the millions of eager, seeking spirits
which come to us from age-worn Europe
have this wonderful symbol ot liberty as
their first experiences of their new home.
My mother-ln-lavv turned to me at last,
her face softened "I nm ready to go on
now," sho said, "I have nlways loved the
remembrance of this harbor since I first
saw It years ago."
We walked slowly on toward the Aqua
rium, both of us watching the ships as they
came Into the bay from tho North River.
The fussy, sp'utterlng little tugs, tho heavily
laden ferries, the lazy fishing boats, the
dredges and ecows even the least of them
was made beautiful by Its setting of clear
winter sun and sparkling water.
"How few large ocean steamships there
seem to be?" commented my mother-ln-lavv,
as a large ocean-going vessel cast off
Hb tug and glided past us on Its way out
to sea. "I suppose It Is on account of the
war." she continued Indifferently.
At this moment I heard a comment from
a passing man that brought back to mo the
misery of the day before.
"I guess that's the Saturn," he said to
his companion ns they walked near us. "She
was due to sail this morning. Got a lot
of French reservists on board. Poor devils!
Anybody getting Into that hell over there
has about one chance tn a million to get
out again."
Forgetful of my mother-in-law's pres
once, indeed, of everything else In the world.
I turned and gazed at the steamer making
Its way out to sea. I knew that somevvhero
on its decks stood Jack, my brother-cousin,
the best friend my mother and I had ever
known. When he had come back from a
year's absence to ask me to be his wife ho
had found that I had married Dicky. Then
he had announced his Intention of Joining
tho French engineering corps.
What had that man said Just now? Not
one chance In a million I I felt as If it were
my hand that was pushing him across the
ocean to almost certain death.

RIGHT" CORSET ONE SOLUTION OF
PERPLEXING PROBLEM OF BEAUTY
By LUCREZIA BORI
The Famous Spanish Prima Donna,
Three types of
THE other day at a tea I overheard this
conversation: "Did you ever seo such n
remarkable change In any one before? It
seems almost unbelievable. She used to
havo tho most unattractive looking figure
so slouchy and thick looking. What has
sho tlono to bring about such a change?'
"Found the right corset, that Is all." was
the reply. "Sho used to bellevo that It was
Injurious to one's health to wear stays, and
would never consent to bo corseted until her
despairing dressmaker refused to make her
clothes unless she did something to Improve
her figure."
I also directed my gaze toward the ele
gantly and smartly gowned woman who
was tho Inspiration of this comment, nnd
found her a "vision ot beauty." She was
another proof of my belief that the figure
must be well corseted if clothes are to be
worn with distinction, grace and ease.
A corset. If properly selected, does not
harm the health. A sensibly large size
that fits the figure perfectly and Is loosely
laced so as to leave a Bpaco of three Inches
across tho spine is a great comfort, and no
one need to worry about any ill effects from
It. Very few corsctlcss women appear to
have attractive figures. True. Venus de
Mllo wore no stajs, but few women of the
present ago can follow her illustrious ex
ample successfully.
Slnco the corset Is the modish foundation
of the gown, see that It follows the natural
good lines of vour figure. You will find that
only one out of a dozen models will be
suited to your individual figure. Graceful
poise and bodily comfort must be olded by
the corset.
Particularly If you are Inclined to be
stout must you be most careful In the selel
Hon of your corset. The "best Is none too
good" In this Instance. It must bo heavily
boned yet flexible and comfortable, so that
the wearer will not feel that rho Is encased
In armor. It must be molded perfectly to
the figure and correct the defective lines.
A model that Is excellent for a well-developed
figure has a low top with elastic
Inserts and a long skirt with clastic gores.
Tho back Is closely boned to Insure the
modish flat effect. It Is laced below the
