Freedom of the Knees. It will be a long time before people stop talking about woman's freedom and the way she has crashed the gate into the big game where man used to play all by himself. Take almost any trade or profession, sport or bifd habit and you'll find that is there with bells on, if nothing else. Sometimes it seems to be that when the highbrows of the next century write up ours they'll say that the woman movement was just as remark 5 ot quite so dendly, as For we have turned the world upside down, even though we did have to gas the men a little. But they were used to that already. Some people have the idea that the freedom of woman is all on the sur- face, like cold cream, and that her vaunted liberty of life is only the free- dom of the knees, to say no more about her attire. But if you stop to think it over, I'm sure you'll find that freedom with hair and skirt and the abbreviations which appear there are only signs of the larger iiberty which women enjoy. This freedom i3 showing itself in ever 50 many ways, and then some, so that you find the woman of today doing the things that men used to do with their left-handed monkey wrenches. But tha tant thing, after all. The great things which have been accomplished by the emancipated woman have to do with life and love. se, woman has always lived in and just as often has had a certain amount of love in her life, But now she has her chance to start something along these lines. When a girl gets a job she may glve the impression that she's getting somewhere and doing something the wo But fjob and pay are not the great things in that kid's life, even when the mazuma does come in handy when a new frock is needed. The main thing is that the young female is showing the world how women as well as men are in undar the big tent. They are no longer in the little side shows with the freaks, but right in the big circus. Woman's freedom, of which her Jnees are significant, applies as well to love as to life. Woman has al- ways had a certain amount of atten- tion from men, and is certainiy at. tracting as much today, but that isn't the same as having her heart free to love whom her fancy may choose I don’t mean that girls are getting goofy on the subject of love nr that they think as much about sextasy &s the men do. What I mean is that when the girl loves it can he for love’s sake and not merely in re- =ponse to a proposal involving a home and visible means of support. The freedom which women ..joy seems to be external and showy, when, as a matter of fact, 1t has to do with their feelings, Women are naturally fitted for life and love, and all they need is a chance to make good in the woman | big game.

One wonders whether | the knee will soon be as freely exposed as the ankle is! | Of course, no one objects to short | skirts and socks that expose the knees | {of children, but when a girl is over | 5 feet tall and still clings to “bobbed | hose,” as the short stockings for large girls are_sometimes called, there arc many who disapprove. From the standpoint of health and comfort ab- breviated skirts and socks are better | than long stockings that ve to be |held up by hose supports hanging | from shoulders or hips. The round garter is also bad. The sock should | have a firm knitted cuff at the top to | keep it in place above the calf of the | leg. | The knee joint is not so beautifully | formed as the ankle. It is likely to be knobby on slender people and too fat lon overweights. The skin covering the knee when exposed becomes rough and discolored, like the elbow, unless | it is massaged and bleached regularly. | | There is nothing pretty ahout a scal lumpy knee. Even when it is de- corously covered by a long stocking, the contour of the knee is not attr tive and in the interests of beauty it | should not be merctiessly exposed to view. | The fat knee is perhaps the most | | unsightly. There is a bunch of muscle | on the inside and the whole joint s | swathed in fat. 1 am often asked | whether this type of knee may be im- | | proved by exel The fact is that | vigorous, regular exercise provides the |only means of reducing the fatty ac- cumulations around the knee.

Raise one knee obliquely for- ward, point the toe down and rotate the lower part of the leg in wide ci | cles, keeping the knee fixed.

Mine are bony and not big enough in proportion to the rest of | my figure. My bust is also not as | | well developed as it should be. I have heard of exercises for the bust, but I have not much time to do them. Is ‘an be | Between Sixty |is LEE there not some other way? (2) What will make my hair grow faster? M ha is very oily. (3) Do you advise the use of mascara to darken lashes? 1 use vaseline on mine, but it does not work very fast. APPRECIATEL Answer-—(1) Your trouble is evl dently underweight. Find out what the average weight for girls of your age and height and try to gain up to that point. My leaflet on *“How to Gain Weight” explains diet and exercises that will be helpful to you. Besides eating the right foods and taking moderate exercise to stimulate vour circulation, you should cultivate a placid disposition. Many women keep themselves thin by nervousness and worry. You must also have suf- ficient sleep each night. There is no magic formula by which one may de- velop a skinny figure into a well pro- portioned one, but one must work in nature's way toward physical per- fection. (2) The slow rate of growth of your hair is probably due to your underweight and general lack of physical fitness. Fxcessive oiliness of the scalp may also be traced to the same underlying cau. Build up radiant health, my dear, and most of your beauty problems will solve them- selves. Massage your scalp for at least 10 minutes a day. You may use the following tonic on your scalp twice a week before the massage: One ounce bay rum, 2 grams quinine sulphate, 15 drops tincture of capsicum, 1 dram tincture cantharides, 1 ounce cologne water, 1 ounce distilled water., (3) I do not recommend the daily use of mascara because it is almost sure to get into the eyes now and then and inflame them. When it is used it should be removed thoroughly at bed- time with vaseline. It is a better plan to darken your lashes slowly by using olive oll or vaseline on them every day; this will not, of course, make them a dark brown if they are natur- ally pale, but it will gradually make them darker than they were origi- nally. LOIS LEEDS. Oily Skin and Pimples. Dear Miss Leeds—(1) Please recom- mend a good astringent for the face Would bathing alcohol be good for that purpose? (?) I also have pimplis and blackheads on v shoulders. T bathe carefully alw and rubs my shoulders very hard with a towel to start the circulation. The pimples are worse in Summer than Winter, REGULAR READER. Answer—(1) Here is an excellent recipe that many of my readers have found helptul for refining the skin and reducing excessive oiliness: One-half pint rosewater, 1 teaspoonful borate of soda, 20 drops tincture of quillaya, 20 drops essence of lavender, 1 tea- poonful tincture of benzoin. If you Wish to use the alcohol, dilute it with equal parts of rosewater, (2) It some- { times take a long time to cure acne such as you appear to have. If you have had this trouble for several years and it has not fmproved under home treatments’ you should consult a skin specialist about it. Revise your diet, it necessary, to include more fresh | fruits and succulent vegetables. Avoid heavy, rich or fried foods, pastries and Sweets.

(Covyricht, 1027.) and Six When” past 60, a young woman's | fancles do not usually turn to| thoughts of love, but there are inter- esting examples of women who have | taken marriage vows at this age. It | was when she was 61 that the fam- ous English novelist known & George Ellot, married John Walter Cross.

She was one of the most celcbrated heiresses and philanthro- pists of the last century in England and when at last she did choose a husband, she selected a native of New Jersey, who, upon his marriage, took the name of his distinguished wife. Among well known should be mentioned Fiske and Beatrice better known Fiske and Mrs. wom~n of 61 finnie Maddern Stella_Campbell, on the stage ag Mrs. Patrick Campbell; and Melba, the opera singer. Among young-old women of 64 must not be forgotten Victoria, Queen of Sweden; Mrs. Leslie Carter and May Irwin, There are few women who can look back on a fuller, richer life than Mme. Nellie Melba, who is 61 vears old on May 19.

One who saw her at 64 said: She lives in constant activity and employs each quarter of an hour as if it were a day. From 9 until 12 each day she teaches poor children gratis. When I called today I found three young men dining with her, she sit- ting and serving them. ' I should have liked to paint her, she seemed so lov- able.

Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED, Because there is so much interest | in food these days, it is natural that | the prospective mother should nlm1 take serfous consideration of her needs. | However, she should not make the | mistake of becoming a food faddist or of starving herself of fat-making | foods, in order that she may reduce | the weight of the child and make the birth easier. | 1t is extremely serious for a mother | to omit fat-making foods from her diet in order to bear a thinner child. | It is equally as bad to omit lime-rich foods in order that the hones may be | “soft.” Nature has a way of circum- | venting this last effort by taking the | necessary lime from the mother's sup ply in order that the baby may not suffer; but in the case of the carbo- hydrates, the energy foods, whose sur plus s stored as fat, failure to give the body a sufficient supply of these will result in real Injury, if carried to| excess, | Mothers should ‘not give too much | thought about food. This would | make for a nervous condition. The [/ regulation diet which has kept a| mother in good health can he con- | tinued during pregnancy, with the | exception that the mother needs more | milk to drink (in order to supnly suf- | ficient lime) and she needs quantities | of water, | When one says that the ordinary | diet which keeps the mother in good | health is sufficient also to supply the developing child’s needs, one is taking it for granted that the mother under- stands something of the foods which o to make up an adequate diet. She need not eovereat of anything. She must supply her body with some of all the different foods, proteins, carbo- hydrates, fats and minerals, and she n do this without any mental ef- ———|o——]o|c———=|a[———]o/——2]a] tables, fruits, whole wheat or graham bread with butter and drink one quart of milk and eight glasses of water each d. Food whims of pregnancy can be largely disregarded. It i= natural for a person to feel nauseated hecause of the manner in which the stomach is being crowded.
