OF INTEREST TO ORGANIZE SWEET GIRLS, LAYS BEA By BEATRICE FAIRFAX A number of my girl readers and their mothers and one father— have responded to my question, "where is sweet sixteen?" I am glad to have so much evidence that, though fairly well hidden away, she is still with us. Several of the girls have asked for suggestions as to how to start a Sweet Sixteen Club. "1 am a high school girl, in my sixteenth year, and mother thinks it would be nice for me to start a Sweet Sixteen Club if you would advise us how to run it," writes Martha B. "I will be very much pleased if you will give a few sug gestions as to how you would have us dress and wear our hair, etc." I hope that she and all the other gills who wrote for suggestions about Sweet Sixteen Clubs will really keep their interest in the idea and form these clubs. It ought to be a very simple matter. First of all, why doesn't the six teen-year-old girl set her elders the example of modesty in dressing? If she just combines good sense and good taste and modesty, she will hardly need me to suggest that low cut blouses and very sheer material and skirts scant where they ought to be full and absurdly short (if she has the figure of a woman even while she is a little girl), are par ticularly out of keeping with "sweet sixteen." One is grown up so very long and a little girl for such a short time that the folly of piling youth's hair on top ,of its head and having it dressed to ape age is a very pathetic one. indeed. Then give your skin a chance, girls. Don't cover it with cosmetics and clog up the pores, which fairly long to drink in sunshine and fresh air. Don't pile your hair on top of your head, but leave it down in a braid or loop to do its healthy grow in* in air and sunlight. Be just as natural as ever you can. It'* a good habit to get into, and you will look much prettier than when you are an absurd little painted imitation of a rather ordi nary type of woman. So much for the appearance of the fDo you want a clear skin? Many an otherwise attractive man or woman is a social failure because of a poor complexion. If your skin is not fresh, smooth and glowing, or has suffered from an unwise use of cosmetics, let Resinol Soap help nature to clear it, in a normal, healthy way. Simply use Resinol Soap regularly once or twice a day, i and see if it does not quickly soothe and cleanae the pores, lessen the tendency to pimples, and leavt the complexion clear, fresh and velvety. When the skin is in really bad condition, spread on just a little Resinol Ointment for ten minutes before usinc Resi nol Soap. Resinol Soap and Resinol Ointment are sold by all druggists.

Heretofore Pea Coal prices remained the same throughout the year. Now Pea Coal will advance in price along with Nut, Stove and Egg. Next winter you will pay 30c more per ton for Pea Coal. It is a well-known fact that the quality of Pea Coal is better in mild weather when the mines are not rushed with orders. Should the price not change it would be advisable to buy in summer and take advantage of the better coal. Now since there will be an increase in prices there is an added reason why you should put in a supply of Pea Coal. United Ice & Coal Co.

At your age I belonged to two. One wa« called the Junior Musicale. There were sixteen girls in it, and we met at one another's houses on Saturday afternoons. None of us were "art istes," but each one of us could play a little or sing a bit. or perhaps manage a tune on the banjo or mandolin. We studied the lives of the com posers and taught ourselves to ap preciate good music. And on holi days we used to go to hospitals and give entertainments for sick chil dren. At our home parties we had simple refreshments, and when we went out we gave simple enter tainments. Simpliolty was our keynote, and we learned a great deal and had a very happy time, too. Studying music earnestly didn't leave us much time for running after boys or worrying about dresses and society. The other club to which I belonged at sixteen was a Sunday Afternoon Walking Club. There were only six of us, and each one in turn acted as hostess, planniing a five>-mlle walk and bringing her five friends home for a simple tea at 6 o'clock. A cooking club seems to me a particularly worthy institution for Sweet Sixteen to consider. A read ing club with a mapped out course of classical study, or a sewing club either for charity or with a char itable Intent to learn mending and to take some of the burden off mother's shoulders would do splen didly, too. It would be very easy for the schoolgirl of sixteen to interest some kindly teacher in her project and get concrete suggestions from her. The girl of sixteen who is working can do nothing better, I think, than form a walking club or a good reading club. But what ever your plan, be sure to have some definite thing around which to center your interest, and be pure to have your program simple and un pretentious.

SUMMER DANGERS FOR THE BABY The following suggestions are from a circular issued by Commissioner of Health, Samuel G. Dixon, relative to the car® of infants: The hot weather of this season of the year Is extremely dangerous to the lives of infants and young children, not only because of the depressing ef fects of high atmospheric temperature in general, but more especially be cause of the effect of hot weather upon all perishable articles of food, among which cow's milk holds the first' place. It is therefore highly important that cow's milk to be used for infant's food should be the purest and freshest that you can afford to buy. During the hot weather ice is absolutely necessary for the preservation of milk and all milk used for food should be cooled by Ice as soon as It comes from the cow and should be kept next to the Jce until ready to be used. A little money spent for ice may prevent ill ness and its much greater expense fdr medicine, nursing and medical attend ance. As water Is often a carrier of disease, it is safest to use only boiled water for drinking or the preparation of a baby's food. If it becomes necessary to feed the baby either entirely or only in part upon the bottle, remember that the gratest cleanliness is necessary in all details of the feeding. As soon as a bottle Is finished, it should be thoroughly washed with cold water, then cleansed with hot water and horax (1 teaspoonful to a pint of water) and put aside for further cleansing before being used again. If >ou have only a few bottles and it becomes necessary to use the same bottle for the next feeding, boil it a few minutes before putting fresh foal into it. Never let the baby nurse from the remains of a bottle which he has not finished at once. Take it away from the crib, pour out the milk and clepnse at once. Stale milk curds, sticking to the inside of a bottle after a few hours become poisonous and may contaminate fresh milk coming in contact with them. It is better to have as many bottles as the number of the baby's dally feedings, so that all the bottles can be boiled together before the food Is prepared in the morning. HAND-PAINTED SHOES Art- the I-a tost to Fall Unto This Deco rative I,tne Are your boots and shoes hand painted? If they are not thej* should be, if you want to be among the truly smart. Hand - painted hats, shoes, waists, gowns, lingerie, etc., are very j popular for this season. Any woman can decorate gowns and accessories with the stencil. The ef fect of the light colorings is beautiful and delicate. True, these light colors are used chiefly for evening. But even used with soft black materials the stenciled border or decoration is ar tistic and adds much to the effect of the gown. The light scarf to be used at such I times Is very pretty decorated In the j same way. Garden hats are beautiful; \ j those used with afternoon gowns are usually hand - painted, and it Is quite! a relief from the heavy hats which I hove been trimmed with large flowers I and velvet ribbon. Generally the only I trimming used with these decorations 1 are streamers or streamers of ribbon. I HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH Adjustment Sale! The First-Time Forced to Raise $8,000.00 JT™?
