FEATURES. Kays There [Are Too Many| Plain Truths in the Home A Crusade Against Frankness DorothyDix Why Must We Think It Our Duty to Tell Only Un- pleasant Truths in the Family Circle?—Why Can’t We Be Polite to Our Loved Ones? F there is one crusade more than another that needs to be started and to have good backing and energetic pushing, it is a drive against the habit we all indulge In of speaking the truth, the plain truth, and nothing but the truth to those of our own household. For, strangely enough, truth is a luxury that we reserve almost exclusively for home consumption, and the idea prevails that, like certain bitter and nauseous medicines, the more disagreeable it is, the more efficacious it is, and the more confldence we have in its working. Now this is not intended to advocate the telliug of lies in the home circle, though there have been times In all of our experiences when we could have wished that those nearest and dearest to us had been Ananiases and that they were. This is only a plea for the suppression of those unnecessary truths that wound like barbed arrows, and against which we are so defenseless because the archer knows only too well the weak spot within us at which to aim It has been truly said that there is nothing else on earth so brutal as the cruel candor of a near relation. We take the liberty of telling our own flesh and blood the truth, which Is too often only another way of saving that w are grossly insulting and impolite to th who ean neither resent our impertinence nor get away from it .

ABERNETHY. Musically Inclined. Most all normal human beings have an appreciation of music. But it is not every one who can learn to play an in- strument or sing well enough to sway an audicnce—no matter how much they study or practice. Signs of the 1ty of music are plainly noticeable in children at the ages from 6 to 12. If the faculty is large the child should be given a musical education. If it is small it is unnecessary to spend time and money trying to make a great musiciun out of him or her. The faculty of music is about an inch above the top of the ears on each side of the head, slightly forward toward the eve. When large, it gives breadth and fullness to the temple region. When extremely large it seems to bulge and broaden the sides of the head abnormally. | Study the heads of all great musi- cians who are world famous and you will see Instantly the great width and tasks that involve | Onea | fullness of their side heads. l (Copyright. 19261 .

Keeping Your Schoolgirl Complexion By IRENE CASTLE Copyrighted 1826 by P. O. Beauty Features The Folly Of using just ‘“‘any good soap’’ on your face The kind beauty experts use them- selves and how used SOAP ma{ be good for any number of things, yet not be at all suited to the skin. The only kind of soap to use on your face is a soap made basically for that purpose. A good complexion is too priceless for experiment. Before Palmolive came, women were told, “use no soap on your faces.” All soaps then were judged too harsh. . Then came this famous beauty creation. A soap made by experts in beauty of rare cosmetic oils—and made solely for one purpose: to safeguard the complexion. A soap that changed the beauty methods of the world. Leading skin authorities urge it It has brought natural skin loveli ness to more women than any other method known. In your own inter- est, use it according to the following rule for one week. Note the im- provement your complexion shows: Natare’s rule to “‘Keep That Schoolgirl Complexion’ Wash your face gently with Palmolive Soap, massaging it softly into the skin. Rinse thoroughly, Girst with warm water, then with cold. If your skin is inclined to be dry, apply a touch of good cold cream—that is all. Do this regularly, and particularly in the eveming. Use powder and rouge, if you wish. But never leave them on over night. They clog the pores, often enlarge them. Black- heads and disfigurements often fol- low. They must be washed away Just do this and keep your skin soft and lovely—wrinkles will be less a problem as the years advance. Get Real Palmolive Do not use ordinary soaps in the treatment given above. Do not think any green soap, or represented as of palm and olive oils, is the same as Palmolive. Tt costs but 10c the cake!—so little that millions let it do for their bodies what it does for their faces. Obtain Palmolive today. Then note what an amazing difference one week makes.
