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. For samples, free, write to Dept. 25-R. Rest

Pea Coal
Will Advance
30c Per Ton
One important change has been made in the coal
business.
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.

MONDAY EVENING,
girl who is sweet sixteen and proud
to show it.
Now about a club. 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
