I BELIEVE the girl with a genuine sense
of humor, identified as It la with an
analytical mind, can early In life 'hold
up the mirror which roflcctfl her Idiosyn

Many who prldo themselves on their

Removal of Superfluous Hair

Could sou please adMse me how to set rid of
superfluous hair on tho face and ormst I suffer
very much on account of It and would be
grateful for any suggestions. MB.
There Is no way of getting rid of hair
permanently unless you receive treatment
with the electric needle This Is rather ex
pensive, but if done by a skilled operator
very few of the hairs return. Depilatory
powders will remove the hair temporarily
Proper Care of Hands
To the Editor of Woman's Poor:
Dear Madsm Can you tell me how r can
leep my hands looking decent T They used to be
pretty, they were well shaped and the nails
were long and narrow, but since doing house
work all ths time they look dreadful Sod I am
ashamed of them. (Mrs.) JAMES T.
With a little dally care you ouitht tn h
able to keep your hands looking well, espe-
daily since they are well-shaped. After
the hands have been In soapy water always
use a little lemon juice or vinegar on them
to counteract the effect of the strong soap.
This may seem like a lot of trouble, but
really takes very little time. You can keep
a cut lemon or a little vinegar on the
kitchen shelf In a convenient place. If you
keep a dish of cornmeal handy and rub
this Into the hands after washing the effect
will be magical. When dusting, blacking
stoves, etc., wear the large canvas gloves
which come for the purpose, Dust Is almost
more Injurious than anything, as it gets
Into the skin and dries and cracks It. If
you can conveniently do so, wear rubber
gloves when you have your hands In hot
water. At night, just before retiring, put a
dab of cold cream on each nail and work It
In, pushing the cuticle back.

Take a Morninff Balh
EVERT one ought to take the morning
hath. One does not require great facili
ties for a bath. Any receptacle for the
bsth water will do a basin, a bucket any.
thing from a pint bowl to a man's size bath
tub. A story Is told of an Englishman In
Madrid who was turned out of a hotel be
cause of an accident In taking his bath
He called for a tub In the morning, and
there wasn't a tub In the house. They
finally brought him a couplo of butchers
trays and ho established himself In theso
trays, one foot In each tray, like the
Colossus of Rhodes, and proceeded to take
a bath. Unfortunately, there were cracks In
the floor, and considerable vfiler went
through the cracks and deluged the man
below. He complnlned to the office, and
the proprietor invited Iho Englishman to
leave.
The proprietor told a friend of his that
he would never again have an Englishman
In his house "V.'hy," he said "These Eng
llshmen aro so dirty they have to take a
bath every day."
In some parts of Ppaln travelers tell us
the custom Is to take a bath twice In one's
lifetime, the first day of llfo nnd tho last
day.
Now germs are swarming about us, upon
us and In us Millions of germs aro to bo
found on every square Inch of surfaco of
the skin. The cleaner wo keep our skins tho
less the number of theso germs If one
does not take a bath often the germs ac
cumulate because the dead cells of the skin
accumulato upon the surface and the debris
from the tissues that pass out In the
perspiration supplies material for feeding
the germs, so they grow rapidly. Hence,
unclean skins nro likely to become diseased
skins Eczema and other skin diseases are
most likely to develop oh skins that are not
kept clean. A vigorous hand or towel rub
of the bodv nfter tho morning bath Is a line
tonic It stimulates the circulation, diges
tion and mental and physical "pep."

Light has been thrown upon tho nature
