There are cloth sport frocks with quite large collars of the material— opening in a V in front and square at the back in true sailor fashion. An advantage of this sort of collar to the sailor is that the thickness of the collar at the back provides him desirable protection against stormy winds.

Cheap mattre es are not worth cleaning. The intestine on the back of the tail of a lobster should al- ways be removed. The whole lobster is good to eat except the shell and craw, or stomach. which lies between the eves. Soda should never be used for washing enameled pans. A lit- tle salt applied with a soft cloth will remove all the stains, and the pan sholild be thoroughly rinsed afterwards with plenty of warm water. | | | MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS Bleaching Dark Circles. The earliest wrinkles that appear on milady’s face are those that under- line her eves. Many girls begin having them in their late teens or early twentles and with each year these become more numerous and deeper. Usually the dark circles beneath the yes accompany the eye wrinkles. There are numerous causes for this condition. The commonest is, per- haps, eyestrain. Doing without glasses when one really needs to wear them, reading by a poor light or in| street cars and wearing brimless hats in strong eunlight—all these things | make the tiny muscles in the eyelids contract involuntarily, thus forming wrinkles in the skin. If the abuse is continued long enough the creases become permanent. Every one knows, 1 suppose, that loss of sleep brings dark circles and eye wrinkles. Any extra physical or mental strain for which one’s strength is inadequate also shows around the eyes. Thus, underweight and general poor health’ must, in many cases, be _| neglected. remedied before the discolored rings and wrinkles can be banished. Besides making the internal adjust- ments that will gradually eliminate | the cause of these beauty problems, it is necessary to assist nature with simple external aids. In the place the delicate skin round the must be cleansed thoroughly every night. Since even the mildest soap will cause the eyes to smart temporarily if it gets into them by mistake, the proper cleansing of the skin on this part of the face is usually 1 will not go so far as to say that the dark circles round the eyes are due to faulty cleansing in- variably, but I suspect that in some cases this skin would be a shade or two lighter if it were more intimately acquainted with soap and water. Cold cream or olive oil may also be used for removing dust and make-up, especially when mascara or eyebrow );encn has been applied during the ay. : In using bleaching creams or lotions about the eyes one should be very careful to prevent any from entering between the lids. Ofl will cause a smarting sensation, just as soap does, but vaseline does not have this drawback. A drop or two of peroxide mixed well with one tea. spoon of cold cream or other cleansing agent may be patted on the discolored circles beneath the eyes and left there overnight. In general, it is better not to do much massaging when applying the bleach, because the skin is easily stretched. To refresh tired eyes, bathe them in boric acid solution, then apply a witch-hazel pack. The latter is made by squeezing out small pieces of clean absorbent cotton in witch-hazel and laying them over the closed eyelids, One should lie down and relax for ten or more minutes while the pack is doing its soothing work.

There is an important point for you to decide before you start out in the struggle for popularity. Don't just breeze ahead blindly with ‘the idea that anything you get in the way of social success will make you wildly happy. For you may be the sort of girl who needs “one sort of popularity and heartily detests another. You may be a girl like Penelope, for instance. Pen had a rocky time get- ting started. She went to a good school and met a lot of nice boys, but she didn’t attract them. Wildly anxious not to miss any- thing, she struggled desperately for what she thought constituted her life happinees. Finally she succeeded in getting her- self asked to dances, in collecting a small group of friends who dropped in to spend evenings with her, took her to the movies, and generally showed her a pretty good time. Most of the boys whom she had succeeded in attracting finally were just drifting kids who wanted to be seen out with a. fairly popular girl. They talked of little but dance music, booze and autos. Their eve- nings at Pen's house gave her no joy, for they bored her terribly. Yot they furnished popularity and ;hn craved that. It was important to er. She honestly believed that she was having the deuce of a good time, al- though she longed passionately to give up the dull evenings with uncongenial friends. Then came severe illness, and when Pen found herself restored to health she was also aware of a decrease in the number of her admirers. They had drifted on to some one else—just forgotten about her. At first she was miserable. No one called up any more, no one She was a failure. It was about this time that she made friends with an older man, a quiet chap, who didn't know how to dance, nor did he crave her society very often. But she liked him awfully, and found a certain pleasure in the occa- sional calls he made on her. He brought a friend one evening, and €he friend liked his hostess, # | he came agajn. Gradually Pen found that she was acquiring a whole new circle of friends, some of whom asked her to go out to a theater or a dance, but none of whom kept her in a continual round of gavety. Yet she was happy. Many of her friends were in a con- stant whirl of gayety, vet she did not envy them, She had found the popu s which brought her real happi- the popularity which meant good friends, really fond of her. Other girls might have wished for just the transient, butterfly type of | happiness; many of you may he made for just that gort of popularity. But Pen and her kind would dos better to try to collect the few good friends who will remain loyal and true through the vear. Only in this way can some girls achieve their real social success.

Being human, every man makes mistakes and blunders. Every man has his faults and shortcomings. Every man does the things sometimes that he shouldn't do, and leaves undone continually the things that he should do. | And every and resents having them flung in his face. man knows his own weaknesse: So there is nothing for which a husband is more grateful to his wife than for her to forget the time he made a foolish speculation and lost money, and the $30 he lent an old friend who never repaid it, instead of twitting him about it for 20 years. Or for her to refrain from ever mentioning again the occasion when some vamp inveigled him into a silly flirtation, or he} came home from a banquet lit up like a Christmas tree. A MAN is grateful to his wife for permitting him to indulge in his personal tastes. Very few wives do this. Most women think it is a waste of time and money for a man to buy a thing, or do a thing, just because he wants to do_it. The average wife can't see why her husband wants to clutter up the house with his old collections, nor why he wants to putter around with smelly | chemicals or messy specimens, nor why he wants to spend his money on silly stamps or ragged old books. And the result is that most husbands have to give up their fads as soon as they are married. Therefore, the man who is permitted to ride his hobbles in peace in the home that he supports, and in which he generally has very few rights, is eternally grateful to his wife for the privileges she permits him. A husband is grateful to his wife when she permits him to keep an old friend or two. The first thing that most brides do is to cold-shoulder all their husbands' former friends out of the house. Nearly every man in his bachelor days has some chum that is closer than a brother; some woman friend to whom he 18 bound by ties of long affection and association, and the poor, optimistie creature has told them how the girl he is going to marry will love them, and what happy hours they will have together in his house. But most young wives consider it their sacred duty to freeze out all their husband’s old associates. This they do with a neatness and dispatch that leaves husband friendless, except for the people wife folsts upon him. It hurts a man in his heart and in his pride to realize that his wife has alienated his friends from him, and that he dares not invite them to his own house; 50 nothing makes a hushand more grateful to his wife t for her really to be cordial to his old comrades’and to permit him to continue to enjoy his old friendships A husband is grateful to his wife when she will let him have an evening off now and then without a scene. And when she will g0 to bed and go to sleep when he goes out, instead of waiting up for him with tears and reproaches and demands to know where he has heen, and what he has done, and why he stayed out so late. T is the bane of matrimony for both men and women that there are so few things in it that either one can do without having all the edge taken off the pleagure by endless arguments and discussions, A husband is grateful to his wife for giving him the benefit of the doubt and believing that he really does love her and is trying to he a good husband and that when he fails to remember anniversaries and make pretty speeches and generally to come up to her ideal, it is just because he is tired and busy and care-burdened. And, anyway, he is no glib love-maker or sheik, and he says it with work instead of tlower And so he is grateful bevond words to his wife if she'll have enough sense to understand that when he sits up silent of an evening, it isn't because he is grouchy, but because he is too worn out to talk, and that as long as he works like a dray horse to support her and give her luxury she needn't worry about having lost his affections. A husband is grateful almost to the point of tears to his wife for showing him some appreciation, and for saving “thank you' for all he does for her. Most wives take it for granted that their husbands should slave to support them and the children. S0 when an occasional wife does tell her husband what a hero he is in her eyes and how she blesses her fate for having gotten him for a husband it pleases him beyond measure. ABove all, men are grateful to their wives for trying to get along with their people. A man loves his mother and his sisters and his brothers. Taking a wife doesn't kill all family ties and the memories and devotion of a lifetime, and it fairly breaks his heart when he has to stand between these warring factions and be forced to take sides between them. And so when his wife tries to win the affection of his family, when she uses tact in dealing with them, and tries to be a daughter instead of an fnlaw to his mother, it fills his very soul with gratitude and thankfulness to her.

I am the one who is doing the dishes, and why so many are dirty is beyond my comprehension, I must say.” Joan said, “I mean that she has no place to entertain the boy she goes with.
