THE "GREEN STOCKING" GIRL
I A great many
years ago when
there was a lad for
for every lassie,
girls began in the
playtime of their
youth to prepare a
store of household
linen, for no girl
was left uncourted
after she had
reached sixteen.
One after the
other of the daugh
ters in a family
stepped forward in
mathematical preci
sion, and was
promptly matched
and dispatched, and it almost never
happened that the swain who caine
a-courtlng looked beyond the oldest
'laughter of the house at her younger
sister.
Bhe was kept in the background un
til her elder sister was married off,
because her oldest sister always mar
ried first. There was no doubt it
would happen; it was as assured she
would marry first as that the oldest
tree In the forest is the first to fall.

.Stcreta of Beauty That No Woman

by Valeaka Snrntt, the Brilliant
Actress, Famed For Her
Self-Mude Beauty.

THERE Is a garden In every wom
an's face where roses and lilies
can grow in all their purity and
loveliness. Th« trouble is most of us
do not realize how marvelously beauti
ful the skin nuy become by the proper
method pursued and how quickly It
may become 60. Years of time and
effort are s»enfc with low-powered
creams so extensively advertised, and
with only one result, hope constantly
deferred.
The simpl'«ity and ease of the proper
method or beautifying the skin are
really astonishing. There are no half
dozen things, steaming and rubbing
and the wearing of masks, and what
not, to be done. An example of what
may be dose to the skin is shown by
the results of the following formula.
This quickly turns a skin, previously
muddy, sallow or spotty Into one of
exquisite loveliness, pure in Its tint,
spotless at a lily, soft as velvet, and
nothing tr it the generous use of this
fdrmula /s necessary.
Slmplv mix two tablespoonfuls of
glycerini In half a pint of hot water
The Skin Quickly \ ■mimes a Purity
Which Rivals the Immaculate Lily."
and add one ounce of zintone, which
will cost not more than fifty cents at
the drug store. Stir until cooled. It
is then ready to apply. This should
be used on the hands, arms, face and
•shoulders; liberally, every day.
• # *
MISS F. G. S.—There is no wrinkle
eradicator ever known "that has such
prompt, visible results as the formula
given below. It makes the skin youth
ful and plump, and all lines of age,
wrinkles and crows' feet disappear in
a very remarkable way. Add two tea
spoonfuls of glycerine and two ounces
or eptol to a half pint of hot water.
Stir constantly until cold. Use very
liberally. The eptol you can obtain
for not more than fifty cents at the
drug store. Mix the formula yourself
at home and you will have a quantity
of wrinkle cream which would cost a
good many dollars were you to be
able to buy it In the stores.

WEDNESDAY EVENING
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Conditions have changed. There
may still be a lad for every lassie,
but lads have grown more wary in
the disposition of their precious per
sonages, and lassies have grown more
skeptical that the mascullno person
age is precious, and also more inde
pendent. Under the new dispensation,
the man who comes courting picks
out the girl he loves, and there Is no
gainsaying him, though there may be
ten older sisters left hanging on the
parent tree.
He Knows
He knows, and his sweetheart
knows, that if they sit down and wait
till every older daughter is married
off, they may be waiting when their
locks are whitened, and the charms
of youth which attracted each to tho
other have forever fled. They know,
the parents know, and, alas, even the
older sisters know, that marriage is
no longer the common lot; but is be
coming every day more uncommon.
He knows and she knows and the
old gray world knows that Love is
to precious to be put aside because,
perchance, there remains an older
sister to whom the story has never
MISS HEADY—You will be surprised
to see how vastly superior eggol Is to
soap, as a shampoo. It removes the
scurf, grit and greasy film from the
scalp and hair as nothing else can,
and leaves the hair glossy and shlm
mery as no soap could do. Dissolve
a teaspoonful of eggol In half a cup
of hot water. This makes a shampoo
that cannot be excelled, for its lather
and cleansing properties. For twenty
five cents at your drug store you can
get enough eggol to last you several
months.

MISS FANNY T.—Your hair will very
soon stop coming out on your comb
or brush, and you will notice a tre
mendous difference In the lustre of
your hair, in Its fast Increasing length,
and its fiufflness, If you will make up
the following formula yourself and
use it liberally. Mix half a pint of
water with half a pint of alcohol (or
take a full pint of imported bay rum, |
if you prefer it) and add to this one
ounce of beta-quinol, which you can
obtain for not more than fifty cents |
at any drug store. This makes up I
over a pint of the best hair grower
ever known, and a quantity whtch
would cost you mnnv dollars if you
could buy it at the stores.
MISS SPECKLKL>—i I I.,, realize that
it is possible to rid the face of black
heads in a few minutes' time by sim
ply sprinkling some neroxln on a
•sponge l made wet with hot water, and
rubbing this on the face on the parts
•affected with blackheads. There is no
use pinching out these persistent blem
ishes. as this spots the skin. You can
get the neroxin for not more than fifty
cents at the drug storo.

MISS R. G. M. By using many of
the superfluous hair burners adver
tised, one can easily detect the fact
that you are afflicted with wild hair.
They leave a red spot or burn, or
irritate the skin, and sometimes re
move the hair unevenly. Use instead,
simple sulfo solution, which
magically dissolves the hair, leaving
no mark or injury. The simple sun .
solution can be secured for one dol
lar at drug stores. Apply it with the
fingers. The work Is done in a few
minutes perfectly
FRIENDLESS—Try this for develop

most effective for the purpose, though
you understand it is at best a difficult
matter to produce such development.
Avoid mechanical instruments. Mix
together two ounces of ruetone. half
a cup of sugar and half a pint of cold
water. This makes a safe mixture, of
which two teaspoonfuls after each meal
and at bedtime. The ruetone will
cost one dollar at the drug store.

MRS. T. R. W.—You certainly can
get rid of pimples In a hurry. I would
not advise you to continue the blood
tonic you mention. Use the following
which is a powerful blood cleanser.
Dissolve twelve ounces of sugar and
one ounce of sarseno In a pint of wa

been told, or whose ears have been
sealed by fashionable skepticism to
the sweetness of the tale. And so,
when Love comes to them, they wel
come It, and the parents welcome It,
and the older sisters will welcome it
if their hearts are still sweet, and
no one remembers that many years
ago if such a thing happened all the
older sisters would have to wear
green stockings as a mark of dis
grace.
A Strange Objection
Knowing all this, how surprising
the predicament of a young man of
twenty-eight who writes me that he
has been keeping company for five
years with a girl four years his
Junior; that he is in position finan
cially to marry; they love each other,
and th'e girl's mother obbjects because
an older sister Is left unwed!
If this is the only objection, marry
and make no delay In getting mar
ried. You will show little apprecia
tion of the happiness that has been
put within your reach If you let an
obstacle like this stand In your way.
Green stockings, my dear, young
man, are no longer worn.

Warns Blonds Against
an Oily Scalp
THE HAIR AND SCALP—PART IV.
My experience shows me that while an
oily scalp Is not so detrimental to hair
health as one over-dry It is a condition
difficult to remedy. Once the oil glands
have got Into the habit of over-secreting,
It seems very difficult to cure them. We
can, however, do a great deal towards
mitigating the 111 effects of excessive oill
ness while we are trying to get at tha
root of the trouble.
For the Oily Scalp.
An oily scalp should be shampooed as
often as once a week. Be sure the sham
poo mixture Is thoroughly rinsed from
hair and scalp, and when the scalp is
I dry rub with eau de Cologne or a tonic
I especially prepared for an oily scalp.
! Dry the hair In the sun when possible.
Let the hair hang every day, brushing
the hair by separating it Into strands,
and airing the scalp. Massage the scalp
every night. Have no fear that this will
Increase the over-supply of oil or excite
the oil glands to greater effort: on the
contrary massage will tend towards get
ting the scalp Into a normal condition and
correcting this fault.
Cleanllneaa, Sunlight and Air.
Remember that cleanliness, sunlight and
air will do much towards remedying this
condition. Don't wear your hair In close
braids, but dress it so the air will get to
the scalp. Blond hair suffers the most
from an oily condition of the scalp for
this Is certain to darken It and take away
:he pretty fiufflness that we associate
with light hair, To correspondents who
write me asking what can be done to pre
vent the Ijalr from becoming darker I
offer as the first bit of advice: "Keep the
•calp In good condition, and, above all. do
not allow the scalp to become oily." The
>«me Is true of gray hair; If the scalp
Is oily It Is Impossible to make It look at
tractive.
