days, I have asked the doctor If this
trouble was dun to Indigestion, and al
though he gave me some medicine, 1
cannot notice any difference. I am
positive that It Is not due to Improper
cleansing, as I wash my face fre
quently and thoroughly at least three
times a day, and In this way I cannot
understand how I got them. I would
also like you to suggest a good as
tringent for enlarged pores.
Is peroxide good to use en the face

of vour readers have been successful In

I would be ery grateful If they , would
write to tho column and tell me about
It. M. D,
Ferhap you wash your face too
much. Ono doctor says that tho fnce
should never be touched with water, as
It destroys tho natural oil of the skin.
It Is rather hard for some skins to go
entirely without washing with soap nnd
water, but too much Is undoubtedly a
bad thing for the skin. Trv using a
good cleaning cream U night borore
you go to bed, and just use tho plain
water, first warm nnd then cold In the
morning. Anytime you wash your face
during the day1 tine the cold cream In
stead of soap. Don't uw any soap ot
all for a while and seo If It does any
good, Zlna ointment, smeared thick
over the face at night, leaves It nlco
and smooth, and will reflnri the skin If It
Is used regularly. Then, of course, rub
bing with ice Is very good for contiaot
Ing the pores and making them smaller.
You can got astringents at the drug
stores that are ery good. If your skin
Is fine you will not bo apt to hao
tho blackheads.
Undiluted peroxide Is prettv strong.
It might makn your skin smart and
hurt Lemon Juice or some whitening
cream would be a. better bleach.

Wants to Wrlto
To thu Editor et Woman' roof
Dear Madam I would appreciate
a little Information ory much.
I am anxious to take up a course In
the constructive details, 1. o the tech
nical side of the short story and verse
I have had four years high school work
and three years normal school training,
but somehow or other every one who
has seen my work has crltlslzed the
structure, although every one told me
n, as i assureaiy possessea i
ow I wish you could tell me
Is there a school with a. nlsht course
along this line In Philadelphia? I have
already written Drexel, but their course
Is only Incidental.
Where Is the best book store In Phila
delphia? I have only been here a few
months.
I should certainly appreciate ahy In
formation along tills lino, ns I nm de
termined to train myself along my
faulty line. A. :u. H.
There Is a courso (night rourse) In
short storv writing at Temple Univer
sity, Broad nnd Derks streets, and thert
Is a summer course in the short story
at the University of Pennsylvania
which starts In a few weeks. The eve
ning courses arc about over now, of
course, and It would do you moro good
to wait until the fall and start in with
tho new clasn that will be formed then !
You can get details about the classes ,
by writing or going In person to seo
about It Perhapslf It Is your con
struction that people criticize, tho thing
ou need Is a course In English compo
sition, rhetoric and all its branches. If i
you specialized In this for a year you '
woum get a gooa mea or tno construc
tion of a story and all that goes to make
It up, and you can get that course In any
college.
In Uie business section of the tele
phone book you will find a list of book I
stores unaer "Books "v I really cannot
recommend any special one, for they alt
seem to be good Then there are book
departments in all the large department
stores. Of course. In a. Btoro.that Is de
voted exclusively to books you find a
greater variety to choose from.
