Marketing a Woman’s Work BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER If a woman is to make money with ter work, it is just as essential that e knows how to market her wares th e is able to make excep- tionally goed things.

And it must be a good steady one that does not vary in its exceilence. It is this very quality of stressing the fineness of one’s wares that is the barrier to many homemakers. It blocks the way becausé these women| hesitate to pronounce their work of the surpassing grade that it actually may be, and which it must be if it is to find a ready market. Such women have to learn to sep- arate the personal element and accent BEAUTY CHATS Pimples. T have had many letters lately, mostly from young girls, asking about &kin troubl All their complaints are about the same—muddy skin, sal- low, pimples, blackheads. Diet and a few easy daily treatments are all any of them need, as obviously none of the causes is due to serious physical trouble. Follow the various diets suggested 1f you have pimples, and. give yourself this treatment to dry up the erup- tions on the skin, First wash the face with hot water and soap. You can use a medicated . moap if you want, but good soap is antiseptic, and I'd prefer castile, ‘which isn't drying, since much of th rest of the treatment is drying. Hav- ing washed and rinsed the face, take little bits of absorbent cotton, soak them in a mixture which is half ether and half alcohol, and put them over the actual pimple, just over the place where the eruption comes. Never the things themselves. They must realize that by whomever the things were made they would be fine. That she happens to be the one who creates such a high-grade article is fortunate, but it is the article that she is trying to dispose of that she must stress. There is nothing conceited about such an attitude, though there is and must be an assurance that commands respect. Overcoming Barriers. 1t 1s the women who do things with rare excellence and who are hampered by the hesitancy to speak of their work as meriting a market who have the hardest time. They must over- come this trait and appreciate that it is their wares that are the matters of significance, not the fact that they made them. For instance, if it is food that they have a gift for making, they should learn to speak of the fine quality of the ingredients that go into the making. Cakes that have the best of everything in their composi- tion, mayonnaise in which only the purest of oll is used, jellies that are made without any other fruit but the one specified, etc.—these are what are termed ‘“talking points.” These are the “lights” that should mot be con- cealed but revealed. For suth things the best prices should be asked and paid. Fancy Work. Or if it is in the fleld of fancy work that a woman would earn extra money, she must be able to talk about the articles with interest. Why did she decide to make the definite thing that she is offering to the buyers of such things in a store, perhaps to some exchange or shop that is an outlet for just such things? Is it because she recognizes that there is a demand and she is qualified to sup- ply it? Because she can offer some novel and orlginal touch to give zest to sales? Or is it because by training she is an expert with her needle, crochet hook or knitting needles and has something distinctive in her crea- tions that she is trying to sell? Point of View. Tt will be seen that there must be some reason for a woman to offer her goods, or to “market her wares,” as it is called, and that when she has such a reason she must be able to make the prospective buyer appreciate her points of view and to show that what she says is proven by what she has to offer. Balanced Judgment. The woman who overvalues her wares is hopeless, for to market the things she must absolutely know what is worthy and what is poor. There are many such women. They believe that they should get full selling prices for articles that are not up to mark in grade. To these women let me whisper a word of advice. Make a study of the things with an eye to knowing their value, and then create artigles that are, if possible, better than .those on the market. To be able to market one’s wares a woman must know values as well as have the confidence that what she offers is of surpassing quality. She must be able to quell her personality, being neither self-effacing nor conceited when she talks about the articles, and then she should give the things due praise. BY EDNA KENT FORBES mind how many little plasters you have to use—stick ‘f the thin film of wet cotton. They dry out soon, of course, and when dry, fall off. Don’t let them dry for a bit. Keep your ether mixture in a bottle, and as the cotton dries, tip the open mouth of the bottle against it again, just enough to moisten it. In half an hour. let them dry and come off if they want. This Is wonderful for pimples, be. cause it takes out the oil from the bad spots and dries the skin. The ugly little scab that must form over te pimple will dry up very quiekly and ‘come off, leaving no mark behind it. Don't pull these off, or you might mark the skin; dry them and let them come away of themselves, Nighttime, rub the skin thoroughly ‘with zine or sulphur ointment. Often pimples come because tbe skin re- infects itself. They go on for months after the original cause has been re- moved. These ointments are anti- septic.

Most of the letters from the love- lorn to the editor seem to show that the lovelorners want to be eured of their lovesickness, The writers, how- ever, pever tell how they got that way. They don't glve the causes. They want only the cures. If I were going to give advice along these romantic lines, I think I'd ad- vise people, the old as well as the young, to get that way right awa For life does not amount to mu and a person who 1 on one side, Of course, T don't mean that every- body who re; this shall rush right forth and tell the world that he's a Romeo or she's a Juliet. No, I mean that people generally shall crank up their hearts until the valves there do their proper work. I1f people would only take the chances in love that they do in ecards or at horse races, there would be more love in the world than there is now, and there wouldn't be any more broken hearts, But we don't take chances with the heart or make a break when Cupid gives a dare. Now, Vell, we are afrald of losing o and slipping into the ln\‘nlurngclg;.: of folks who have to appeal to the ln'\'e speciali to give them advice, We read, “It's better to have loved and Jost,” but we don't think that means us.

If this is so, which I believe to bhe the case, one doesn't really or fully need an object for his or her affe tion. Of course, It best to have the responsive object so that the heart may beat against something better than the shirt, but I stick to it that the love experience is chiefly rorvme sake of the one who has it.

Many a business deal goes blooey because an arrogant woman snubs some little insignificant woman whose husband happens to be kingpin in the And many a man prospers because his wife is so popular that every woman she knows gives her a hand up by patronizing her husband. They buy their groceries of Mr. A., or they send for Dr. B. when they are sick, or they have their teeth fixed by Dr. C. just because Mesdames A., B. and C. are always so perfectly charming and delighttul, and say such pleasant things to them when they meet, that they boost their games. And, on the other hand, an untactful wife is invariably her husband’'s undoing, because when she irritates people she drives his client: ers away from him.

The question as to just when one attains one’s full growth seems to be perplexing some of my readers. I have had numerous letters from girls in their teens asking whether I think they will become any taller. Some- times the question is asked with the hope of a negative reply, but usually the writers would like to increase their height. The period of adolescence is usually considered as extending to the twenty- fifth year, so that it i3 not unusual for a young person to add an inch or 8o to his or her height after com- ing of legal age. Promising young men who wish to enter the police force but are a little too short may undergo a period of special physical training that will stimulate growth. Besldes exercises there are mechani- cal devices, but these should be used only under the supervision of experts. In order to avold disappointment in one's efforts toward gaining greater height, it should be remembered that C physical type ls inberited, Our ancestry sets a limit to our bodily de- velopment, but the time may not be far off when scientists will find out how to stimulate the growth of the individual by chemical means without injury to health. At the present time, however, the only way to attain the maximum physical development is by exercise, rest, proper diet and the avoldance of unhygienic practices. Habitual correct posture is also very important; the figure should be car- ried erect, so that it will be as tall as possible. Under the head of un- hygienic habits come late hours, smoking and drinking, poor posture, ack of exercise and fresh air, shal: low breathing and abuse of the diges: tive tract. Here are a few exercises that are helpful in developing heigh! Exercise 1. Lie down on your right side. Stretch right arm above your head and left leg downward. Turn on your left side and repeat the exercise, stretching this time the left arm and the right leg. Repeat the stretching of opposite limbs while lying on your face and then on your back. Exercise 2. Hang by both hands from a bar above your head. Stretch your toes as far downward as possible in this position. Exercise 3. Do a series of ara- besque: ‘That is, jump forward on one foot, inclining the body forward and stretching one arm obliquely up- ward and the opposite leg obliquely backward, both approximately on a line with the trunk. Hold the pose a moment before leaping forward on the other foot and repeating the move- ments. Exercise 4. Stand erect with feet slightly apart and parallel. Raise both arms straight above the head. Now bend the trunk obliquely forward, stretching the arms as though reach- ing for a distant object, but keeping feet firmly on the floor. Continue bending the trunk forward and down- ward until fingers touch the floor. Ropeat 10 to 20 § iy & ’..’.x« S AUGUST 19, 1927. BY ROBERT QUILLEN.

BY THE COUNSELLOR. ‘Will Boyd left the Towne Cabaret at midnight and got into a taxicab at the curb. On the way the driver suddenly stopped the car, pulled a bottle out of his hip pocket and took a drink. He offered some to his passenger, but Boyd declined it. While rounding an “8” curve, the car, going very fast, left the road and turned over on its side. Boyd was injured. ‘When he recovered Boyd entered suit for $5,000 against the taxicab company for the injuries he had sus- tained. At the trial the company set up the defense that Boyd himself was negligent in that he continued to re- main in the cab after knowing that the driver had been drinking. The court agreed with the defense of the taxicab company, stating: “While it is true that in general the negligence of the driver of a ve- hicle 1s not imputable to a passenger 80 a8 to bar the passenger’s right of recovery, the conduct of the pas- senger in ‘entering an auto and con- tinuing to ride therein when he knew that the driver was intoxicated estab- lishes independent negligence upon the passenger’s part and bars his right of recovery.” (Covyright. 1027.) Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. In spite of all the advice that is glven to mothers on the necessity of being careful with children’s diet in hot weather, there is generally a tendency among mothers to “take a chance.” Because they like certain fruits and vegetables, seedy berries, green corn and theé like and because most small children will clamor for what they see the elders eating, the mother lets down the bar of caution. It she has any conscientious scruples about it she lulls them by saying: “I belleve in letting a child have what he wants to eat.” There could be no more pernicious policy, for it is behind such a horse that Summer maladies ride. Even if one can take chances with a child's diet in the Winter ooe camnot de- viate an fota in the Summer time, and one should be unusually careful even with the foods to which the child is accustomed. To put a small baby at the table in his high chair on a hot Sunday and glve him bits of fried chicken and thick gravy and tastes of this and that vegetable, and jce cream, is to court trotible. Nbne of these foods are in’ themselves harmful. In fact, homemade ice cream is a de- liclous dessert for the young child, but it decidedly is not a between meal tid-bit, and yet it is in this way that ice cream is most often used. The mother and the rest of the family (who adore feeding the wee one) argue that this or that can't hurt the baby. What hurts the baby is load- ing his stomach with unneeded food between his regular feedings and giv-. ing him food that is cooked and seasoned for an adult. Such babies are usually bottle fed and perhaps an hour afterward are put at the table and allowed to nib- ble, unmolested, on anything their hands reach for. Of course this u sets their digestions. A bottle feed- ing is a whole meal for the small baby and he doesn’t need anything else. 1f he is old enough to have other foods he should have what is proper for him at regular hours and those hours are the same as his bottle feedings and not between feedings. It is very usual for young mothers to think of milk only as something to drink. It is, for adults, who need other food, but for babies it is food, in the only form in which they are able to digest it, All of which leads back to the earlier warning. Unless a baby is well used to a food don't feed it to him in hot weather. Stick to the foods to which he is accustomed. Don’t en to persons who (be- cause it isn't their baby) are only too willing to say: “Oh, give him a little. It won't hurt him.” Perhaps it won't, but why take a ‘chance when the results can be so serious? KITTY McKAY BY NINA WILCOX PUTNAM.

In his own estimation he has always been a very fine-looking bird. You can tell by his expression as he sits on his perch at the bird store that he is troubled with no sort of inferlority complex. At present Dame Fashion seems to agree entirely with the parrakeet, for she has picked him out for special fa- vor this Summer. There has been an unusual demand for parrakeets at the bird stores. Some people, of course, have parrots, for the time has long passed when parrots were considered especially appropriate to the forlorn old maid. But in_this day of kitchen- attes, dinettes and powder tables that fold up when not in use, small pets are chosen in preference to large ones. Pomeranians are in_ greater demand than Great Danes and parrakeets leave the parrots on the shelf, literally as | well as figuratively. Now there are parrakeet trimmings on hats, and at one of the smartest of Summer resorts I have seen no end of large, natural-colored straw hats or- namented with little parrakeets on the side, with ribbon bands in colors to match the bright plumage. Of course, T didn't examine the plumage, but even it it was just hen feathers dyed to| match this gay little bird of the tropics, it doesn’t really make any dif- ference to us—and it probably makes a whole lot of difference to the par- rakeet. White slippers with painted flower designs on heels and toes are among the newest things in some of the smart shoe shops. They are rather dear, as such novelties usually are, but it occurred to me that it was a trick that could be copled at home. So I got one of our artists to beg the l BEDTIME STORIES Hesitation. Who hesitates is lost, they say It sometimes works the other war. —Old Mother Nature. Farmer Brown's Boy was beginning to get rather excited. He knew he was getting very near to the place where something had happened to excite Blacky the Crow and Sammy Jay and other little people, and he suspected that one of Buster Bear's cubs had something to do with it. He wondered where Mother Bear might be. Farmer Brown's Boy had become so used to Bears and had learned so much about them that he wasn't afraid. He knew SHE WAS STARING RIGHT TO- WARD WHERE FARMER BROWN'S BOY WAS HIDDEN. that the chances were that if he should méet either Buster Bear or Mrs. Bear, or both, they would run. But he wasn’t quite sure of what Mrs. Bear might do if she thought anything was going to happen to one of her cubs. He had heard many stories of the flerceness of Mrs. Bear when her cubs were with her. He somewhat doubted these stor- ies, but he didn’t know. Crawling through the bushes, taking care to make no sound, he at last reached the place where he could see what was going on. At first all he saw was Mrs. Bear and one of the cubs. This little cub was sitting off one eide, staring in round-eyed wonder at his mother, who seemed to be dig- ging. Then Mrs. Bear moved and Farmer Brown's Boy discovered the other little cub. This one was whim- pering and whinning. Something was wrong with it, Presently Mother Bear stepped back and Brown'’s boy discovered what had hap- pened. He saw that that little cub had one foot caught between two roots and ‘was held just as if he were in a trap. “You poor little thing!” thought Farmer Brown's Boy, and he almost said it aloud. “I guess it'’s a good thing I came over here. I'll take you out of that. Just then Mother Bear sniffed loud- ly. Farmer Brown's Boy looked at her. She was standing up. Her little eyes showed both suspléion and fear.

Never in his life had ‘mer Brown's Boy felt more like running than he did then. He wanted to run. Yes, sir, he wanted * torun. Never had he felt more like it. But he didn’t. For a few moments he lay perfectly still. Mother Bear glared suspiciously in his direction, but he could %tell that she didn’t see him. She sniffed long and carefully, but no long- er did she get that man smell. Farmer Brown's Boy couldn’t make up his mind whether to show himself or to remain where he was. He hesi- tated. Idon't wonder, do you? Mother Bear looked terribly big. He had seen her before, but he didn't remember that her paws looked so big. or that her teeth looked so sharp. “I want to help that little cub,” thought Farmer Brown's Boy, “but Mother Bear doesn’t know that I want to help him, and she may think it is my fault that he is caught. I don't know what to do. I T were sure that she would run away I would step right out there. But if she should decide not to run away but to jump at me, T would be in a dreadful fix.
