It is hard to understand how the sentiment ever started that lavendar and gray were good colors for. women with_gray and white hair. Not only do these two colors often bring out the least attractive qualities of this type of halr, but they are colors that are particularly uncharitable toward faces and figures no longer youthful. Perhaps the reason for it may be found in the fact that occasionally a gray or white haired woman is very lovely in these tones. They become these rare types so much more than other shades that the feeling_has arisen that any gray or white haired woman would look as well. This type of woman must have hair that is either pure white or a clear gray. There must be none of the "yellow or green or brown shades that are almost always to be found in’this_type of hair. Her complexion must be fair, with an absence of sandy, sallow, or ruddy hue. And slr‘we gray is (:lnelofb the “l:rgesl" colors it is decidedly better that the lot of trouble | 0008 1\ 1 *gray should be of slender build. In general, browns are the colors that should be avoided by the wom- an with gray hair. For some reason or other women of this type do mot s0 often choose navy.blue as they should, yet it brings out none of the unattractive yellow or muddy colors of graying hair and 1s in general one of the best colors for mature or age- ing figures. Black also may usually be worn to advantage and certain combinations of black and white are becoming. White is a_color that should be worn oftener by women of this type.

Somehow, though I am no “beauty doctor,” I receive a lot of letters from feminine and some from masculine readers who are anxious about their “pores” and things. Many of the queries have to do with the use of war paint. Is it harmful? Is it poi sonous? There are all kinds of paints and powders and other jimcracks em ployed for purposes of camoufiage, some of which are perfectly harmless to the user and some of which are poisonous or contain poisonous ingre- dients, such as lead, arsenic, mercury. 1 am not a chemist, nor have I anal- yses of all the popular war paints available, so I am unable to inform correspondents whether this and that particular cosmetic is harmless.

At the same time she requires a modicum of brains in order to avoid making a caricature of herself in her excesses of make-up. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. The 8. A, E.

When should boric acid be used. (J. R.) Answer.—Exposure of the eyes to Intense light, or working with such light glaring in the eyes, is a fre- quent cause of cataract and other serious injuries to the sight. By all means consult an oculist if your eyes cannot stand sunlight. Boric acid is a feeble antiseptic often employed in eye Washes or drops because it is comparatively non-irritating and non- poisonous. It has no effect on the eyesight, nor does it “strengthen ‘weak eyes,” as many imagine. (Copyright, 1921.) Cooking by Magnetic Induction. In the electrical industry exhibit at the Chicago pageant of progres: there will be a table to cook foods by magnetic induction. While the device is a simple application of electrical prindiples, it will doubtless interest visitors more strongly than the more obvious exhibits. The table top will contain a number of coils to set up a strong magnetic fleld about the table. When a cooking vessel’ is brought into this field it heats up quickly and the food cooks. Apparently the table top does not be- come hot, as it may even be covered with cracked ice during the ‘process of cookery. Doubtless this fact will arouse much interest and curiosity, as the "process of cookery has so long been associated with some visillle form of heat. AR T Fried Green Corn. Take some young, tender green corn and scrape carefully from the cob. Cut the corn through the center of the kernel, so that all the pulp and juices may be extracted without the removal of any of the hulls; then sift over the corn a very little flour and season with salt and pepper. Mean- while, let some slices of fat bacon be placed over the fire in a frying pan, to remain until all the.grease has been extracted. Remove the bacon and the corn in the fat until it is deliciously brown and tender, but to prevent burning it. must be stirred almost constantly during the twenty minutes that it will take to cook it.

Your speaking of the years of study you've had put me in mind of it that I've been intending to ask somebody Who might know about such things.” “Certainly, my dear McCarty! Iam only too glad to help you to improve yourself.” “Well, when you've come here on a serlous matter like a murder case it seems a silly thing to talk about, but could you tell me, sir, if playing cards have any meaning?” “Of course,” Terhune amused. “From the anclent necro- mancers down through the centuries they have each possessed an especial significance of one sort or another to the guilible, but it is too lengthy a subject to go into now. any mind “Yes, sir.

Commette is a game with terrific odds which was played for tremendously high stakes and ruined many of the best families in Scotland when It was in vogue there. “I'd like to know how ‘tis played.” observed Dennis wistfully. “Any game that could separate a Scotch- man from his money ought to make a clean-up among the Irish! “But has the nine of diamonds no other meaning, then?” asked Mec- Carty, in vast disappointment. “Oh, yes,” Trehune reassured him. “As a curse, it is _supposed to o back to the nine lozenges on the Dalrymple arms, as the Earl of Stair was responsible for the massacre of Glencoe, but the most probable tra- dition concerning the origin of the sinister name is that the Duke of Cumberland, while he was drunk and gambling on the night before the battle of Culloden, wrote across the face of the nine of diamonds the re- lentless order to his cohorts that no quarter was to be given to the enemy on the morrow. “No quarter. and the old buoyant not ed to his tired voice.

But what's the matter with your own? You look as if something had bit you!” “Mac!” The newspaper shook in Dennis’ excited hand. *“What was it that you heard Ford say to his wife in the hall yesterday?—That he was ‘done for,” wasn't it? ‘Yes. Wh J “Well, I guess he was, all right! Give a look at that!” Dennis passed over the paper and McCarty read in\flaring headlines: “Failure on Stock Exchange. Lons- dale Ford & Co. Go to Wall.

He was working against time now; against the time when tb? inspector’s dragnet might bring in/the girl, Ilsa, or he might tire of waiting and arraign Hill formally before a magistrate on a murder -charge. A sudden inspira- tion had come to the ex-roundsman and characteristically he determined to put it at once to the test. “So that was what Ford meant McCarty commented. “Come on, let's order; I'll go over and have a little interview with him before he leaves the house. I'm thinking he'll be more ready to talk now that it's all come out than he was yesterday. They ate & quick breakfast and Mc- Carty left Dennis to proceed to the fire house with the understanding that the latter was to call for him at his-rooms at B that night. In the crosstown car he studied the Bulletin once more, but not for the satisfac- tion of re-reading his advertisement; the reproduction of a photograph on the second pageé had caught his eye. _ It was that of a broad-shouldered man of about forty, unideniably hand- some at a casual glance, although closer inspéction revelaed slight but telltale fullness of the lips and Reaviness of jowl, and the eyes with their almost feminine sweep of d | lashes did not seem to meet the gaze quite squarely. There were incipient pouches beneath them, too, and the smile which was intended to be dashing held the suggestion of a leer. even McCarty’s matter-of-fact sen- sibilities. “Well, what cgn I do for you now?” A toneless, indeseribably weary voice spoke just behind him and McCarty ‘Wheeled, an uncontrollable gasp es- caping him as hi Lonsdale Ford..
