WOMA BY MARY MARSHALL. A season or so ago many Americans viewed with alarm the new high-col- cared frocks that were among the new creations sent over from Paris.

We have never measured a hair, of course. Though we use the expression “hair’s breath” con- stantly, we are not interested in the hair's literal measurement. The phrase serves our purpose, because everybody is familiar with its figura- tive significance of “just the least bit,” *‘the very slightest amount,” whether it be of space or of distance or of time! Short and snappy as it 1s, the phrase is not a child of modern times. On the contrary, it i# of quite ancient origin, its recorded usage being traced back as far as the writings of Marcus Aurelius. In his famous “Medita- tions,” 111:10, we find: ‘‘Remember that man’s life les all within this present, as ‘twere but a hair's breadth of time.” Again, in 1111:48, he 'says: “So, for the hair's breadth of time assigned to thee, live ration- ally, and part with life cheerfully, as drops the ripe olive, extolling the sea- son that bore it and the tree that ma- tured it.” The expression came down through the centuries in literature and in speech. Shakespeare put the stamp of approval on it in the broad figura- tive sense in which it has come down to us by his well known use of it in act 1, scene 3, of Othello, when the Moor, testifying before the Duke how he had recounted his adventures to Desdemona and her father, say “I spake of most disastrous chances, Of moving accidents by flood and field, f ir-breadth ’scapes i’ the immi- nent deadly breach (Copyright. 19 Lessons in Englis BY W.

BEAUTY CHATS Blackhead Paste. - The blackhead paste can be used for more things than blackheads. It is good for open pores, which it will help shrink into their proper invisi- bility; it is good for an olly skin, which it will dry up; it is the most cleansing form of scap there is, and fine for stained and very dirty hands—I mean hands that have been cleaning the engine of a car, and come out of it full of black grease, soot and yellow stains. Being so effective, so very strong, it must be used carefully And it must be followed by a thorough rinsing with water a little hotter than the water used with it for washing. And this must be finished by a cold cream crub or the use of something to feed back to the skin the large amount of oll that has been taken out. The easiest way to make it is tq buy from the drug store or a gro- cery store a tin can of mechanic’s hand soap, the gray, gritty soap used in every garage and machine shop In the country. Buy the best quality you can, but don't use It as it comes. Take, roughly, an equal amount of cold cream, and work the two together.

Hold hot wet cloths over the face for a few minutes, then rub in a lMttle of this and wash it off Imme- diately. It penetrates the pores, re- laxed from the heat. and at once absorbs the grease and dirt in them, which is washed out with it. The rinse clears the skin, a cold rinse will close the pores, then a little cream should be used, so there will be no irritation. Mrs. R. .
