and condition of your skin. A perfect complexion is of more
importance than perfect features. Everyone admires a beauti-

Absolute cleanliness of the skin is the first
consideration. Your complexion cannot be kept
clean by merely dabbing a little water upon it.
Plenty of soap of a fine quality is essential it
order to cleanse the pores of the skin and to keep
it in good condition. An abundance of water is
required to wash away the dirt and germs which
accumulate in the day’s work.
A general bath should be taken at least twice
a week. But in these days most people could
not think of letting a day pass without a bath. A
brisk rub will stimulate the circulation of the
blood and a bad complexion will show amazing
improvement with outside cleanliness.
That is not all for cleanliness within is also
essential. You cannot have a beautiful complexion
if your system 13 clogged with waste materials
from undigested food or poisoned by the evil ef-
fects of constipation. You should drink plenty
©I water not too much at mealtime but before or after eating. This
will help to cleanse the system.
There are germs in the air and germs in the dirt with which we
•re in constant contact Of course it is the skin that suffers first.
i uw 1a one oi mo most. im-(
portant organs of elimination of the
body. The dead cells are constantly
cast off. carrying with them the
waste substances of the body as well
as the dirt and germ acumulalion.
Many poisons of the system a-e
thrown off through the skin. You
can see why the skin should be kept
In good condition. Cleanliness Is the
great essential to Us proper action.
Physical exercise of a vigorous na-
ture stimulates very greatly all the
funfctlons and organs of the body.
The heart lungs llvor kidneys
bowels the mysterious ••ductless”
glands and the skin all are stimu-
lated by energetic exercise.
You have often noticed how much
better you skin looks after a vigor-
ous walk out in the bracing air. or
after a strenuous game In the open.
The air la a tonic for the skin and
nobody la going to look or feel well
who does not talc# his dally exercise.
If you are the fortunate owner of a
j car. do not let Its possession cause
i you to forget the normal uses of your
feet.
A good complexion means that you
must avoid excessive sweets. fats
and starches. Eat plenty of fresh
fruits and vegetables. It Is good to
I drink milk with your meals. If you
I like It.
Rest and sleep are great restorers
In a restless age we disregard the
warnings of our bodies either to ab-
stain from taking too much of the
wrong food or for lack of rest and
sleep. Abundant sleep has almost In-

► this had been brought out by
Roderick’s own story so I recognized
the Justice of Juniors attitude. Hut
I also knew his chivalrous gener-
osity. so like his father’s and that
after the covert appeal I had made
to him. he would not contradict what
I had said.
The response of both boys to mv
little speech was identical. With
reddened cheeks snd downcast eyes
each flung himself against the back
of his chair with an embarrassed.
"Aw. shucks:" which made me turn
my head to hide my twisting Ups.
"Now. I am not going to talk to
you about the reason for your quae
rel" I said when I had controlled
mv risihlee. and turned hark to them.
‘That Is something which doe* not
concern me. It is between your-
selves. and you must settle it one
way or another. If Roderick be-
lieves that you ought to let him have
your cars to break up”—I looked
at Junior carefully avoiding Roder-
ick’s eyes.
“I didn’t think that." protested
Roderick. ’’I don't.”
"And if Junior thinks that he
doesn’t want you to play with
him—” I was looking et Roderick
now. and It was my smaU son’s turn
to protest
”1 do want him to play with me.”
he wailed. ”I’ve never had a boy to
play with and he can take my cars
to make a bus if he wants to.”
Roderick Renounces.
”1 won’t take ’em." Roderick uld
promptly albeit there was a wist-
ful note In his voice. "I guess X can
manage without ’em."
I sat down in n big armchair and
said softly. “Come here both of you."
Junior bounded toward me. Roder-
ick came more slowly but with
patent eagerness nevertheless and
putting an arm around each one of
them I drew them down to the arms
of the chair.
"I wonder if you can keep a secret
for me.” I said.
"Sure thing." they both assured
me.
"Well. then you both know Christ-
mas isn't very far off."
With one voice they both cited
the number of days hours minutes
and seconds until Christmas morn-
ing.
"And while I can't tell you Just
what Is coming to you. I arn a
that you will each have something
so—interesting—that you won't have
to argue about Junior's cars. Don't
you think you can find things to do
before Christmas that you can agree
on. so you won't have to quarrel?
You know it's pretty dreadful to
quarrel at Christmas time.”
"Yes. I know." Their small faces
were sober now. To each of them
the story of the Christ-chiid'a birth
and the meaning of that marvelous
slogan. "Peace on earth good will
toward men.” was as much a part
of them as an organ of their little
bodies.
"Well then.” I left the ethical
question as abruptly as I had
brought It to them for it was no
time to preach to them except by
indirect suggestion. "There are only
two ways you can settle this quarrel
you know and I'm going to let you
choose which one you want. You
can agree to shake hands and be
friends and forget all about It. or
you can go out Into the orchard and
fight it out. and whoever wins can
say what the other can do about the
cars. Now. think it over carefully
and tei! me which you wish to do."

Home-Making Helps
By ELEANOR ROSS
Treating the (las Store
Properly.
HAT'S easier to manage than
a gas stove? And yet.
things do seem to happen
to it that upset the house-
keeper.
"My stove doesn’t bake right."
"Takes so long to cook anything.”
These are hut a few typical com-
plaints—which are not always
chargeable to this apparently fool-
proof piece of equipment. Of course
defects are possible In any piece of
mechanism. And so. if despite
adequate care the oven doesn’t seem
to develop a good even heat or the
burners don’t five forth a clear blue
light then it’s a Job for a mechanical
expert. But if the stove is good
quality to begin with ordinary good
treatment will give even dependable
results.
First the stove must be kept
clean. If anything spills over wipe
it eff immediately with some soft
cloth or paper. If the burners give
forth a feeble light even when
turned on full tilt the chances are
that they are clogged. They can
then be brushed placed in a large
pan of boiling water. Add one cup-
ful of washing soda for each gallon
of water and let soak for ten or fif-
teen minutes. Wipe with a cloth or
soft paper then replace on the atove
and light the gas. so that they are
thoroughly dried.
For regular daily cleaning put a
little oil on a thick cloth and rub the
atove with it. A small grease spot
or two can be removed by applying
some vinegar and rubbing lightly
.It is not absolutely necessary to
polish with blacking. It's a messy
Job. carelessness may only result In
blacking saucepans later placed on
it. And the resulting polish is only
a matter of taste. A stove can be
kept clean without being shiny.
Most important notify your gas
company promptly If you suspect a
leak.

Smart Blouses for n
Every Occasion
___•_
» i_ ~ r -
THE blouse from being “just
a blouse" has assumed a
tremendous importance in
the fashions of the season. No
more is it simply a wisp of silk
designed primarily for sports
wear or for the tailored cos-
tume. Instead we find blouses
fashioned of the most luxurious
materials and no woman con-
siders her wardrobe complete
un!e?s it numbers at least four
of these essential garments.
Some of the smartest models
shown are illustrated here. In
the upper left eggshell satin is
the medium of development. The
double peplum gives a quaint
air to the bottom of the blouse
and repeats its success in the
collar and cuff treatment.
Directly below is a tuck-in of
wisteria satin. The tiny sleeve
with its turned-back cuff fin-
ished with a bow is a smart in-
novation as is the vestee of or-
gandie in pale orchid.
The printed crepe blouse is in
navy blue and white. The nor-
mal waistline is suggested by
the “nipped-in” effect achieved
by tucks and suggests a slightly
higher line than normal. This
is admirably suited for wear
with the tailored ensemble.
The w'hite flat crepe blouse
centers attention at the back
with a row of self-covered but-
tons. The normal waistline in
this instance is indicated by a
narrow belt of the material.
Metal brocades are much used
for blouses to be worn for
afternoon and informal evening
wear. They are shown in many
charming styles and color com-
binations. Transparent velvets
come in for their share of atten-
tion and are a charming comple-
ment to the formal ensemble.

an Innate gift for ro-
wV mance. Walter Scott spent
* ” his childhood under In-
fluences that made for Its
development He was In Infancy
lulled to sleep by old Scotch folk-
songs. and at his mother's knee
heard romantic ballads and tales of
border warfare. The education In
romance that his mother began
others around him earned on.
Crippled In his early years and
being taken down with a long and
serious illness he was not held to
strict account in his school work
Fearful lest he be overtaxed his
parents left him largely to his own
inclinations In the matter of study.
And the major course of his election
was romance. As a small boy he
listened with rapt attention to the
tales and legends told him and as
soon as he could read he hungrily
seized upon and devoured from first
word to last all romantic stories
within reach.
While his education In school was
several times Interrupted by long
absences spent nt home or on visits
to his grandfather s place. "Sandie
Know*" or on health-seeking trips
more remote. Walter Scott's educa-
tion In romance went on without
break. At home his relatives con-
tinued to feed his craving for ro-
mance with thrilling stones of the
past. At “Sandie Knows" hts grand-
parents and his aunt and the old
people around there supplied the
eager boy with more tales of ro-
mance In old Scotland.
And on his more distant trip he
met a veteran of North European
wars named Dalgetty. and other
►raconteur* who told him of romantic
adventures on the Continent.
The moss troopers the chieftains
the migthy heroes with sword and
shield the dashing knights in glitter-
ing mail and with waving plumes
the pages and beautiful ladies of
high degree who. in the legends
passed to and fro across the adven-
ture-crowded atage of the past.
s'H'med very real to the crippled
child. And all around him were
scenes that furnished an inviting
setting for the romances that his
fancy conjured up ss transpiring in
their midst. In Edinburg with Its
old castles and at "Sandie Knnwe."
in the heart of a landscape dotted
with ruins of ancient stronghold*
and abbeys and monasteries. Walter
Scott found the stage already set for
his Imagination to carry on from
where the legends and hallads left
off.
And then it was. though still a boy
of tender years that the future
novelist began to develop his art of
story-telling. His first attempts
were made for the entertainment of
i s si hoolmates. With his vivid
imagination weaving the threads of
the stories and hallads he had heard
into colorful romances of Its own de-
signing the little bov often held his
young audiences spellbound for
hours.
But. to Walter Scott the boy
romancer those essays were merely
trial flights. He realized he needed
more preparation for really great
flying—and sp he eagerly continued
his reading. But soon Percy’s
Ballads and other volumes of ro-
mance in his native language were
exhausted and jie turned to other
sources. By the time he reached his
early teens he had acquired French
and was reading the romances of
Helpful Advice to Girls

UE.AH A.\ME LAUKIC:
I am a girl In my senior year

my class that seems to care for
me. He flirts with me and writes
me notea all the time. Naturally.
I flirt with him. The other night
.1 aaked him to come to my house
and he told me he would. Should
I have done this? He works after
school but that evening he called
me and told me he had to work.
I believed him. but later found
out he didn't have to work. It
worried me a great deal. I went
through sleepless nights thinking
It over. I asked the lady whom he
worked for If he did have to work
and she said "yes.” I felt a great
deal relieved over the matter. How
can I tell If he loves me? I love
him and I can't help It either. He
still keeps attempting to flirt and

because It aeems there's no use.
What can I do to make him care?

enough to warrant a new frock.
Well this morning I selected—
from the ehop. of course—a dress
that Is simply divine. It's developed
in black chiffon and has a natural
waistline. Seams which round the
hips curve downward and form the
line for adorable pointed insets that
give fullness to the skirt and an un-
even hemline. Then there is a
darling bolero effect of flesh chiffon
with silver lncrustatlona. A flat bow
finishing the neckline is of flesh-
color lined with black.
I was trylnc it on and showing it
to Helene and w# had Just agreed
that it was about the most stunning
evening gown we'd ever seem
Helene had said that Billy's big boss

right back. It's no us* ■ • (• a
; place unless you can stay for dinner
at least."
"No there Is no us*—" Flor h**
gan to siv when all at once Knaif
interrupted.
"I have a plan.”
They ell turned to him.
"You can carry a leaf. < an't you?”
he Inquired of the swallow.
"Of course I can."
I "Very well let us attach n leaf t«
your tail with cobweb. Then we'll
#11 sit on it and you can pull us
along" %
"How much do you weigh?*'
"tV* don't weigh anything."
That was qu.te correct. Shadows
have no weight whatsoever. If you
doubt this pick up your shadow ana
place It tn a scales and you will soon
see for yourself.
"If you don't weigh anything"
said th* swallow. "I'll be delighted 10
carry you." And suiting action to
word he plucked a I* «f from a nesrbw
twig. In an instant Flor procured
several strands of cobweb which
' though thin are exceedingly strong
and Harvid. who was handy made a
; sort of harness to slip securely
around its neck. Then they all placed
' themselves on the leaf.
"All aboard for the South."* Knar!
shouted.
At this th* swallow darted into th*
sir. "Ia everything all right?" it
called back.
"Km*:" they answered.
Then away It flew faster and
fister and many persona on the
ground below saw it ar.d wonder*!
’at the leaf that floated out behind it
like a magic carpet. No on* guessed
that five little ishadows were riding
on it.
