If only we all realized that prettiness | is within our reach always, and that we need not be born beautiful to| be_sxo! | Here follow just a few hints ahout | what we can do to improve our ap- | pearance: We can have a clear, glowing skin. That is moderate health and cleanli- ness, plus a little common sense. * A dry skin needs oil to feed it, an oily skin needs astringents; burned skins need oils and bleaches: the “city complexion” needs cleansing with creams as well as soap and water, and all complexions need| ‘watchful care. ‘We can have thick and glos: hair—this again is the result of cor tinual care. Some inherit thin hair, but good care will improve even this, and the thinnest hair can be becom- ingly dressed. Again it is a matter of absolute, sanitary cleanliness, of nourishment if the scalp needs it, of stimulation and encouragement. We can all have beautiful finger nails. And we need not trust to the professional manicurist, for the nails are absurdly easy to manicure at home. Then it is a matter of find- ing which shape of nail suits your finger best, and whether vour nails peed nourishment—some do, you see. A Milk Diet.

The first day, that is, there will be six meals of fresh fruit: the second day, threz of milk, three of fruit. The third day, a glass of milk & drunk every hour from 8 in the morning to 10 at night. The fourth day, a glass of milk is taken every 55 minutes. The following day, one every 50 minutes. As the weeks go on, this treatment continues, the time between glasses of milk coming down at last to one every 260 minutes—in a few cases, every 15. The system must bs gradually adjust- ed to it, and at first, no matter what the trouble, the system is cleared by the fruit and the smaller amount of milk. Most patients have to take a dose of milk of magnesia each morn- ing, straight milk being binding. Littla by little, the body Is cleared MOTHERS AND THEIR ¢! REN Bag for Rubbers.

I realize that doctors CATHERINE. | IDEAR MISS DIX: Tam engaged to be ied to a | think doctors make good husbands? Of course, | aren’t all alike, but I mean generally speaking. Answer: A doctor makes a good husband only exceptionally broad-minded, reasonable and free from desirable risk for the small, petty-minded, green-eyed and conventional. for a woman who is jealousy. He is not a woman who is narrow The woman who marries a doctor must reconcile herself to having very little of his socie to his paying her few of the attentions that wiv t such store upon. he must school herself to bear disappointments without murmuring and to either staying at home in the evenings or to going about in a sort of grass-widow state. For the successful doctor’s time is not his own. He can never make an engagement with any certainty of being able to keep it. He has little time for society, and what little leisure he has he wants to put in in reading and study and rest. So the woman who wants a companion and a playmate and somebody to take her out to dinners and dances and the theater should pass up the doetor. Any doctor's wife will tell you harrowing talées of how she has had a new dress for some function on which she had set her heart, and how, just as she and her husband were stepping into the taxi, the telephone called to say the Jones’ baby had the croup, or old Mrs. Smith's sciatica was worse, and she had to turn back and pull off her finery and spoafl a lonely evening at home waiting for an exhausted man who didn’t get hoiae until near morning. And she will tell you that she and her husband go out together so seldom that they make a gala occasion of it. . So you see, unless you are a_good enough sport to take life as it comes with a doctor, and to realize that his patients must come,before his pleasure, or your pleasure for that matter, you should leave him alone. | Nor is the doctor for the jealous woman. If, every time vou think of the | man vou love holding the white, jeweled hand of some languid person in a | pink silk and lace negligee, You feel as if you would like to scratch her eves out, then don’t marry a doctor. That's his husiness. That's where your bread and butter and angel's food have to come from, and the more neurotic ladies he has as patients the better for you. Lots of women can't see it that way | that their hushand goes to see is in love wil bedside manner camouflages a flirtation. because no woman wants a ph overtime. So give your doctor s cut out the jealous They imagine that every woman They ruin their husbands’ practice, vsician whose wife's imagination is working weetheart a fair deal. Cut off the wedding, or As a matter of fact, the doctor's wife seldom has cause to be jealous, because, taken as a class, physicians are among the least flirtatious of men. And with good reason. They see women at their worst, when they are sick. ugly, haggard, nervous, unreasonable, peevish and fretful and hysterical, and | there is nothing alluring about them. g i Nor fs the doctor for the woman who has her curiosity complex unduly developed, because he must know secrets that he cannot in honor tell her. Neither is the doctor for the gossip, because a doctor's wife is bound to find out many things she shouldn't know, and if she has a babbling tongue she can wreck his career and do untold mischief. qualifications that the doctor's wife must have before you marry him. | Your happiness will depend quite as much on what you are as on what | he is. If you measure up to the standard and he measures up to the standard of a man, his profession won't stand in the way of your happiness.

It's too bad, because the baby i always quite satisfied with the da that he is living; it is only h mother who anticipates the future. As a case in point, Mrs. T. H. D | writes: “My baby is 3 months old and is fat and healthy. He can hold up his head bcautifully. How soon can I prop him up with pillows? He loves riding in the car and we plan to take an auto trip as soon as it is cooler. Is he too young for this? He seems to want to eat whenever he soes us eating. Would it be all right to give him a chicken bone or a piece of bacon rind” | Answer—Having read the above, you know that I deplore th erfey of young mothers to hur opment. Don't prop up the baby. When he is 6 or 7 months old he will be holding his head up without effort, and by being put in his crib or on the floor at certain_ times of the day he can pull himselt up and indulge this new activity. Then when he is tired he can flop back on the floor. It may seem as if pillows will sup- port a baby's back, but what really happens is that the poor baby sin back into the pillows, unable to r lax - entirely because of them and with his back bent into a letter C. A strong haby doesn’t need or want the pillows. A weak baby shouldn't be urged to sit up. I do not think a 3-month-old baby is too young for a long auto ride, and also I think he's far, far too voung for chicken bones or bacon rinds (if he is ever old enough for the latter) Don't rush these things. Stick to the foods that he needs and when he needs them and don't try to make an adult out of him yet. — | The leafet giving correct menus for the | baby from @ weeks to 6 vears will be mailed to any mother who sends a self-ad- jressod stamped envelope With a request or it Creamed Oysters.
