Perspiration stains nre very diffi cult to remove, and remedies should he used immediately. First, try this agent on some unexposed portion of the dress before applying to the stnin : Sponge with vinegar, and if this leaves a spot remove by sponging with water. .Invelle wnter will remove the stain, but it will remove the color, too.

And it might be that you j would say that from what you had seen of the milliners' shop windows orange was to be the most fashionnble color for autumn hats, nut from nnything Hint :iou have seen in those windows could voti actually sny that hats were to be large or small or medium sized i high or low or one-sided .this season? Probably you could not. And the fact really is that we arc to have an i unusual latitude this nutunin in hats ntnl no millinery designers arc nppar- ently going to be guilty of bringing out just one type of hat and trying to foist it on all types of faces. This sort of thing has hnppened in other years, but this season there is no such nar- rowness of ideas.

"But if you want a bended bag nnd cannot afford to buy one, what are you going to do?" she reasoned. "With out," I sighed, "unless you are am bitious." But today I saw bags which T feel sure were designed for the woman who, like me, cannot afford to buy one, and has not the patience to make one. These bags are made of some kind of mnterial treated in some mysterious wny to resemble the fine French -beaded bags. You touch one, and even the dots are "lumpy" as if they really were beads.

To Mary Louise It is perfectly proper to cnll on the young man's family nnd I should not hesitate to do so partlculnrly since you do not Reem to he to blame for discon tinuing the friendship. You should have spoken on the occasion when you were not quite sure whom he was au dressing. When you meet him ngaln be frlendlv but preserve that impersonal air you might have in the presence of some one with whom you nave never been intimate at al.

I met a fellow four years ago and ever since then I love no fel low but him. Now I can't sny that we have been keeping steady company, but just off and on. The last time he came back he told me ho loved me nnd said that as soon ns he saved enough money we would get ninrricd. Then he started to come steady for about three weeks. One Tuesday -night he called me up nnd we were kidding over the phone. I asked him where he was going Wed nesday night nnd he Faid be had a date with another girl. Now Cynthia thnt hurt me and on Thursday I sent him n letter telling him thnt I hated him and never wanted to see him again. The Saturday after that I met him again at a dance nnd he told me the mistake I had mnde in asking him where he was going that Wednesday. He said that I should hnve known he was coming down to our house, and he said he was only kidding me about the date. Now I am sorry I wrote that let ter nnd I told him so, but he won't listen to me and I still love him. He 'Mi(i i "crimped" it nil nnd thnt lie won't i,av anvthing to do with me. I love , him and feel I cannot love any one else nnd I thank you very much for the nd vice vou will give me. UNHAPPY AND WAITING. There isn't any use telling you jou were a very sillk little girl to net in such n ienlous wny nnd write that let ter, because vou have already learned your lesson. But for the benefit of others let mc sny this: never put down nngry things in a letter. These words 'can never be recalled. j Now don't try to do nnything for n eounle of weeks nnd then write a very sensible little note saying you nre very sorry to have acted so silly nnd that you 'would like to be good friends even if he feels things cannot be the same as before. He will probably want to make up if he truly cares. Otherwise you don't want him.

Aapel Walnut Street the St. James - HOW DO YOU SHAKE HANDS, OR ARE YOU TOO TIRED t to Some Women, Says This Man, Extend Their Palms "Like d Drink of Milk and Water" HOW do you shake hands? I heard' a man express himself very forci bly ou tho subject the other day right nfter Lnbor Dny, when every one was reporting home from the mimrrior va cntion, and there was so much greet ing going on. "If there's anything drives me wild," lie said, "It's to have a womnn lay her hand in mine ns though it were a drink of milk and water, or a soggy pancake. If she doesn't want to shako hands, then she ought to just plain refuse. Hut if she does want to, why then let her do it as though she means it." . Shaking hands is just like every thing else. You can do it with your heart in the right place, or you enn go through the ceremony ns if your heart were nbout n thousand miles awny. paper that prompted me to write. I mnke all my own clothes, Cynthia,' and I can cook nnd keep house. Inci dcntnlly I am very proud of these nc compllshmeuts. Since I graduated from school last year I have had ample opportunity to perfect the snmc. I love music and all sorts of sports, nnd Inst but not lenst, I just love to dance. Now, Cynthia, I hnve one pet vice, so to speak the use of a little bit of rouge. What I want to know is do I come under the same category as "The Painted Dolls," which, according to "Anxious" and "Bachelor," are almost outcusts of good society? I have traveled about quite a bit with my father, Cynthia, and have had the opportunity of meeting some very fine types of men and boys real men, Cynthia ; not those blase, supercilious creatures who don't know enough to "come in out of the rain." These men, I find, look for character in a womnn nnd overlook thnt "tiny 'bit of rouge" condemned by so many men tlrnt are not broad-minded. I admit that too much rouge is worse than not any, but therein lies the secret. If people would stop bickering over trifles they wouldn't miss the big things in life when they came along. Life is really so worth while and if we would smile awny all the unpleasant things everything would be sunshine and hap piness paramount'. I sound like a sophisticated some body, don't I, Cynthia? Well, I am just a girl full of life, and just eight een. Good luck to every one. SMILES. You wouldn't come in the category of the "painted doll," Smiles. Thnt term refers to tho "plaster pnris" cast kind of fnce, doesn't it, boys '. Write again, Smiles.
