Answer—(1) If the prominent hip is due to incorrect posture it may be corrected by exercise and persistent practice of right posture. Sometimes, however, when oae hip is higher than the other the cause is that the legs are not of equal length; in this case the short leg may be raised by wearing extra thickness of sole on that foot Have a physical examination to ascer tain what is the cause of the trouble in your case.

It is most apparent on neck and arms and seems to consist of brown and white spots combined, due, I suppose to some fault | in the manufacture of skin pigment. I have consuited a physician, but he said that neither he nor any cne else knew the cause or care for the condi- tion, I am hoping that you can tell me something to relieve the trouble. Mrs. E. B. K. Answer—If vour skin has always had this mottled appearance, I believe that the cause you have assigned to it i3 probably the right one. It is just an individual peculiarity, a deviation from the normal way in which pigment is distributed under the skin. So far as I know there have been no experi- ments in dieting or other treatments for overcoming this defect. If the spots have appeared recently, however, and are in the nature of moth patches or large freckles, medical treatment may be of help. Elderly people and those suffering from liver complaints often have dark spots on their skin. It would do you no harm to have the GROUP of women were sitting on a Sumnier hotel veranda idly discussing their sex the other day when one of them suddenly asked: | “Who is your favorite heroine, in fact or fiction ECENT commercial is iga- u‘ud‘o‘n; show that .mn.sm f s n:fomnt in :!om, etc., falls into four short, be- ;&Mgl:;hm hours.

Every smart, wide-awake, hustling business and professional woman of today is the very spit and image of her greatest grandma, and if Eve were alive she would be president of the Woman's Republican League or the Woman's Democratic Club and running all the philanthropic and uplift movements in her community.

These cases offer another opportunity to use some letters in the filet alphabet, which is now nearing its completion. The cases de luxe have the owner’s monogram or initials embroidered on them, verhaps in me- dallion style, perhaps uninclosed in | the open style. If you prefer the medallion, all that is necessary is to ~encircle the letters with a band of embroidery shaped in a circle, in an oval, a square, octagonal, etc., accord- ing to which suits the placing and ar- rangement of the letters best. The kimono case is shaped like a large envelope and is generally made of silk lined with white or some at. tractive contrasting color. Often the ease matches In material and coloring the fabric of the kimono. Silk char- meuse or soft satin are favorite mate- rials. A little sachet may be sprinkled between the lining and the outer ma- | terial, if the case is lined. Or a wee flat sachet bag can be tucked into the case, whether lined or unlined. Slipper cases are similarly made, a case being large enough to hold a pair of flexible bedroom slippers. If mules are to be put into the case, it' will have to be made larger. Where To Put Initials. The initials are generally put on the ample flap of the envelope cases, though they frequently are put in the center of the plain side, reminding one that this is the side where the address on an envelope goes. Initials in filet .crochet may be inserted in- stead of those worked in cross-stitch or other embroidery. .- Concerning Color. It is a wise idea to have the kimono case of a color quite unlike that of gowns or other garments, unless it is made to match the kimono. If it is in contrast to other things it can be BEDTIME STORIE 0ld Man Coyote's Wisdom.

BY THORNTON W. BURGESS Coyote, and in a jiffy was out of sight. Then Old Man Coyote stepped out into the path and looked down it after her, He was still grinning. In fact, he was grinning more broadly than ever. For a couple of minutes he stood there looking and listening. Then he turned and very quietly moved on up in the direction from which Mrs. Coyote had come. Every few feet he stopped to listen, Off at one side toward the Green Forest he heard some one moving through the bushes. Presently he came to the place where Mrs. Coyote had tried to frighten the cubs. His nose and his eyes told him the whole story. He knew that the one whom he had heard moving off toward the Green Forest must have been Mother Bear with the ecubs. Old Man Coyote chuckled. Then he turned and trotted straight home. Rather, 'he trotted to his old home and lay down on the doorstep and pretended to take a nap. It was a long time before he heard quiet footsteps approaching. He Mrs. Coyote was com- ing. Once more Old Man Coyote grinned behind his paws. You see, Mrs. Coyote no longer had her tail be- tween her legs. She was trotting along in a most unconcerned way. At least she was trying to look uncon- cerned. But Old Man Coyote noticed that now and again she gave a quick glance behind her. As she approached he yawned and slowly got to his feet. “Well, my dear,” sald he, “whero have you been? Have you had good hunting?” Mrs: Coyote threw herselt down it tired. Tn truth, she was tired. “Yes,” sald she, “I've had wonder- ful hunting.” “I've just been farther up in the | Old Pasture,” said Old Man Coyote, “and 1 found where Mrs. Bear and | the cubhs had been picking berries.

He just ached to tell her what he knew. But 014 Man Coyote is wise. He is wise with the wisdom of long experience. So he was satisfled to just grin. He knew nothing under the sun would induce Mrs. Coyote to go anywhere near Mother Bear again, but he knew that it would be unwise to say so. So he kept his tongue still. and to this Aday Mrs, Coyote doesn’'t know that 0ld Man Coyote has known all along exactly what happened up in the Old Pasture. 1927.) that vou are (Copyright. .

Queen Mary of England was 26 years of age when she was married to King George, then the Duke of | York, who lacked a few days of being a year her senfor. Somewhat more than a year before this, she had be- come engaged to the Duke of Clar- ence, the cldest son of Edward, Prince of Wales, who was in direct line of succession to the British throne. The | Duke of Clar.nce was killed by acci-| dent when shooting and, since Queen Victoria w:s extremely eager to see the Princess Mary in a position one day to be queen, she cagerly promoted plans for the re-engagement of the | young woman to the prince next in line.

She scribbled incessantly, but | her stepmother considered writing | “dangerously unfeminine,” and at 15 | Fanny Burney solemnly burned all| her manuscripts, These burned manu- scripts contained the first draught of “Eveliha.” Later she rewrote this, and having an odd inclination to see her work in print, she persuaded a younger brother to sell the manu- script of “Evelina” for her. In order to keep the transaction secret, he dis- guised himself {n a large hat and a big_cloak. Eventually the book was sold for about a hundred dollars, and met with a most extraordinary success. This took place in 177§, when literature was still regarded as a most in- appropriate calling for a_woman. Having proved her ability, Fanny Burney became a general favorite. Sir Joshua Reynolds, the great painter, refused to eat a mouthful un- til he had finished “Evelina.” Samuel Johngon became a close friend, and so did the dramatist, Sheridan. Carmen Sylvi once Queen of Rumania, was married at this age— and like the present Queen of that little country, proved that a queen may gain more fame than a king.

PERSONAL HE BY WILLIAM Treating Ivy Poisoning. The irritant principle of poison ivy (thus toxicodendron) is probably a fixed oll, which is soluble in alcohol and may be precipitated by lead salts. Even’ after the skin inflammation has become intense, bathing with alco- hol—pure grain aicohol of from 50 per cent to 95 per cent strength—is excellent treatment, - Varfous scientific investigators have asserted that the poisonous principle of rhus tox s neutralized by potas sium permanganate (the remedy usu- ally applied or injected in the wound of snakebite). A solution of a level teaspoonful of potassium permanga- nate in a pint of warm water may be used to bathe the affected skin at fre- quent_intervals, and it will give con- siderable relief to the itching or burn- ing. Of course, it stains everything brown. The stain may be removed with photographer’s hypo or with a solution of bisulphite of o Blisters should be carefully opened and the water from them absorbed by cotton or linen and carefully kept from contact with unaffected skin. Empty the blisters by puncture with a needle that has been flamed or plunged in & cake of soap. After opening and draining the blisters, bathe the surface well with alcohol or the potassium permanganate solution. Then dry and dust liberally with cornstarch powder. Generally it is better to avoid oint- ments or salves until the irritation has ceased, Carbolic acid is perhaps the most effective relief for ivy poisoning. Of course, one must use some caution and care, for carbolic acid may be ab- sorbed through the raw surfaces in quantity sufficlent to damage the kia- neys or_produce other systemic In- juries.

Everyday Law Cases Does Tenant’s Agreement to Make All Repairs Include the Roof? Although the roof of his automobile repair shop sagged and leaked, Mr. Kraft refused to repair it. He was only a tenant, and he saw no reason why he should spend any money to im- prove the landlord’s property. He re- peatedly asked his landlord to repair the roof, and the landlord just as peatedly refused to do so, because o the fact that the lease between them provided that the tenant was to make all necessary repairs. Kraft always countered with the reply that this obli- gat}cn did not include repairs to the roof. The roof continued to sag and leak, and soon became so dangerous that the building inspector of the city or- dered it repaired or the building torn down. The tenant, as a consequence, moved. The landlord brought suit for the rent, and the tenant set up his defense that the place was untenantable, claiming again that the roof was not within his obligation to repair.
