There are so many sorts of baths @hat the woman who wants a bath a @ay for beauty as well as ordinary eleanliness, is often perplexed by the number and variety of the packets and | bottles offered her for the purpose. Let's consider the various simpler sorts of beautifying baths only. For a district where water is hard, or for a skin which is dark and dough, let me suggest oatmeal or bran baths; prefer- &bly oatmeal. For a bath, a large table- spoonful of ordinary, coarse oatmeal should be put into a square of cheese cloth and the four ends tied loosely over cach other. This bag is dropped into the water and squeezed until as much of the milky contents come out ®s you can get. I know a woman who uses these bags as wash cloths, rub- bing them with soap and using them to wash face and body, rinsing off the stickiness afterward. Oatmeal soothes irritations, makes hard water ‘soft and bleaches the skin. Recently, corn starch baths have been advertised & lot: pouring a little starch in the water, which softens it, bathing, | and ending the bath feeling that the skin s smooth and silky. Some of the starch adheres to the skin, so the bath also provides the bath powder! ‘There are Turkish baths which clear the skin of impurities, make it deli- clously fine, and which are good for rheumatic troubles. There are cabinet baths, an imitation of them. which can be taken at home, giving the skin five minutes or so of profuse perspiration. You can learn to scrub your skin all over with soap and a thick brush, in a tub of hot water, to stimulate it to throw off te and to become more than ordinarily clean. ~docling -1a that-soy.

The berets of the two young girls were of green flannel. But Claire had a | close-fitting black felt hat to match the black flannel skirt which went with the | tuck-in blouse. All three girls had the sleeveless dresses which are so com- fortable for young folks to wear in the Summer. And this Summer they are more than comfortable, they are smart.

IXTH commandment—Thou shalt not begrudge the price thy home costeth thee. If you are a man, be not a tightwad, always reminding his wife and children about how much it costs to feed and clothe them, and who makes the first of every month when the bills come in such a day of terror and wrath that they dread itas much as they do the Judgment day. Of course, it takes money to support a family. Of course, a baby is almost as much a luxury as a vacht. Of course, wives ana their flummeries, and boys and girls who have to be educated and started in life do make a man dig deep in his pocket, but you have to pay for every good thing you get in this world, and each is worth the price, So be a sport and pay it cheerfully. Whether you can give your family cars or bicycles, whether you feed them on caviar or corn beef and cabbage, do it with a good grace. Make the generous gesture. Make your wife and children feel that you consider it & privilege to work for them, and that your great regret s that you cannot present them with the best of everything on a silver salver. Half of the wives you know choke on the bread they eat because their husbands give it so unwillingly, and the reason so many sons and daughters show so little gratitude totheir fathers is because they have had to badger thelr sport cars and Paris frocks out of the old man, Their fathers have never given them anything willingly. If you are a woman, don't be forever whining and complaining about how hard you have to work to make a comfortable home, and how many sacrifices a wife and mother has to make, and how much trouble children are to take care of. Of course, housework is hard work—so is every other kind of work. Of course, you have to make sacrifices—that is part of your job. Of course, children are troublesome and need incessant care. So buck up and have the grit to hold up your end without complaining. The best dinner is flavorless if your family has to listen, while eating it, to your tale of woe about how many hours you stood over the stove cooking it. It doesn’t make your husband fonder of you for you to make him feel that he is making a domestic slave of you and that you resent it. It doesn’t make your children idealize you when,_they see that you regard motherhood as a total loss, and themselves as little nuisances who interfere with your bridge games, Therefore, if you want a happy home, pay the price without protest. QEVENTH—Thou shalt not be a killjoy. If you are a man, do not be one of those gloomy Guses who descend upon their homes of an evening like a thundercloud and blot out every ray of sunshine, and at the sound of whose key in the lock his innocent little children hush their prattle, his wife's eyes take on a look of terror and the cat makes for the cellar. Neither be one of those graven images who spend the evening wrapped in a silence that no one dares to break and that sends the domestic atmosphere down to zero. If you are a woman, do not be one of those wives who consider it their sacred duty to anticipate trouble, and who take the pleasure out of every little excursion by dismal forebodings about automobile accidents and wrecks at sea and fires in hotels, etc. Neither be one of those conscientious objectors who think everything they don't want to do themselves is wrong, and above all, do not be one of those wives and mothers who wet-blanket every hope and aspira- tion of their husbands and children until they take the starch out of every project and leave it limp and hopeless and lifeless. The Glooms have always been a family of faflures. Eighth—Don't knock. If you are a man, throw away the hammer. Don’t remark that the soup has a little too much salt in it and omit to say that the rfect. Don’t harp on the time your wife paid $25 for'| »a hat, and keep mum lfiut the times she has worn her last year's lid when business was bad. Don't moan over the restrictions of domestic life. Say some- thing about its privileges. If you are & woman, don't always be complaining that your husband can't give you the ropes of pearls and the luxuries rich women have. Be thankfui you have a man to stand between you and the world. Don't lambast your hus- band because he stayed out at night one time at a lodge meeting. Praise him for being a fireside companion. Don't always be telling the children of their faults. Hand them a few compliments now and then. INJINTH —Thou shalt put honeyed words on thy tongue. Don't walt until your wife is dead to put on her tombstone how much you loved Rer, and what & wonderful wife she was. It is doubtful if angels in heaven take any interest in the post mortem tributes of their husbands, but it would warm the cockles of any live woman's heart to know that her husband loved and appreciated her and thought she was the greatest wife ever. Make it & part of your daily dozen to say something sweet to your wife ew:ry morning, so that it can sing in her soul like a happy bird all day. And remember, Mrs. Wife, that there isn't a husband alive who just doesn't eat up soft talk. Why, that's the line the vamps catch 'em with, and why wives are foolish enough to turn over the bait can to some other woman beats me. ‘Therefore. if you want to keep your husband eating out of your hand, keep sugar in it. Tell him how great and wonderful you think he is.” Tell him how grate- ful you are for all he does for you if you want Lo turn him from a grouch into a willing worker. It is mighty easy to do things for those who appreciate it, and mighty hard to do it for those who never even say “thank you." ‘Tenth—Treat thy husband and wife and children with as much politeness as if they were strangers. Be polite. Be courteous. Respect their privacy. Defer to their opinions. Grant them some personal liberty. ~ Dress up for the family as you would com- pany. Try to be as amusing and entertaining as you would be if you were trying to make a good impression on a new acquaintance or sell yourself to a customer, and you will make a hit with Friend Family. Follow .these 10 commandments and you will make home truly “Home, Sweet Home.” DOROTHY DIX. % (Copyright, 1929.) Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. D. C., WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, Trying to Get Back What Is Lost. We know some speculating women who are now trying to get back what they have lost in the stock market. Unable to realize they have paid the price of experience, rather than suffered ill luck, they are determined to recoup their losses. Unfortunately they have merely adopted & course which in time will probably augment their losses. It is trite to recall such platitudes as “Don’t throw good money after bad,” or “The first loss is always the easiest.” Spectators rarely get rich and stay rich, because there is no end to gam- bling. Easy money invites one to get more, and of course ultimately one loses everything. Folks do not quit when they are ahead, and they refuse to quit when they are behind before they make up their losses. In short they run about a viclous circle and finally meet ruin. The way you made the money you have today is the best way to make money in the future. If you have a business, & profession or a trade, you know how long it took you to acquire the experlence, skill and reputation essential to success. What chance would an outsider, with- out any one of these three factors, have of making good? Speculation offers the same chance to the inexperienced and unskilled trader. The truth is you cannot get back what you have lost. What you can do, however, is hold on to what’is left, and start building anew. The experience may have been costly, but why increase the cost? Just as early lessons help most we are always hopeful woman speculators will get their baptismal loss in the stock market before they have substan- tial amounts to play with. or before a financial loss will jeopardize their fu- ture. All the talk in the world is never as beneficial as personal experience. It will be some time before some of us get back what we have lo: will get it back by a safer route. We will have barred the way to further losses, if we are wise, and have Willie Willis BY ROBERT QUILLEN. S “That new boy is funny.

They made a dis- covery so simple and yet so far-reaching that every woman interested in good foods should know about it. The vegetables were cooked in various ways. The various dishes were numbered. Then the experts tested them and voted. In every case the vegetables prepared with sugar and little water won unanimously. Try, for example, this delicious Corn Pudding. Use either fresh or canned corn. To 2 cups of corn add 1 canned pimiento and 1 small green pepper shredded coarsely, 13 small grated onion, 2 well-beaten eggs, 2 level tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 74 teaspoon of pepper and paprika, 2 tablespoons of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1 cup of milk. Mix all ingre- dients together, add 2 teaspoons of melted butter. Drain into a well-buttered casserole and bake half an hour. Then remove cover and delicately brown. Try this new discovery every time you cook a vegetable. Note how much more both children and adults like vegetables cooked in this way because the added sugar develops and brings out all the natural, tasteful flavors of the foods. Sugar restores the flavor of freshness to vegetables that are wilted and to canned vefe- tables.

When some human being began to compare other individuals with him- self, or to make distinctions among in- dividuals, the problem of personality was inaugurated. That must have been many centurles ago. In fact, it was the first social problem awaiting man, when he stepped out of the kingdom of animal-kind to the more respectable class called human-kind. During all these centuries, very lit- tle has actually been accomplished in the way of answering the problem. A host of theories about the origin or cause of personality has of course, been offered. Some say that the very stars influence personalily. Others say that climate will account for individual dif- ferences, Still others hold that “man is what he eats” More recently it has been said that the glands of in- ternal secretion hold the key to the solution of the problem. Still others, mindful of the many failures of the past to solve the problem, that “personality is the biggest fact and the biggest mystery in the uni- verse.” This problem of personality is still being tackled with enthusiasm by psychologists. They know that per- sonality is the central problem in the whole science of psychology. If they knew how to account for individual dif- ferences, how to reduce those differ- ences to law, they would have genuine science of human nature. Science is just in its infancy in re- gard to the age-old problem. It has just begun to classiff™ its facts. Two outstanding classifications seem pretty likely to stand the test. Each individual has an ego or secret personality. what every one thinks of himself. At the same time each individual | has a public personality. The public personality is what other people think | the individual is. Abe M artin Says: Miss Aggle Moon wuz 31 years ole before she knowed ther wuzn’ no Dan Cupid. .

But she does. You don’t think so much of this until you are called upon to put it up, which event generally takes place in the eve- ning. The bedstead has been cleaned in the afternoon, and, having been soaked through with hot water, is now ready for putting up. Your wife holds the lamp and takes | charge of the conversation. The rope has been under water several times in | the course of the cleaning, and, having swollen to a diameter greater than the holes in the rails, has also got into a fit of coiling up into mysterious and very intricate forms. You at first won- der at this, but pretty soon wonder ceases to be a virtue, and then you scold. The thread which has been wound around the end of the rope to facilitate its introduction in the holes has come off, and you have to roll it up again. ‘Then, after you have pulled it through elght holes, your wife makes the dis- covery that you have started Wrong. The way that rope comes out of those holes again makes your wife get closer to_the door. Then you try again, and get it tan- gled in your legs. By this time you notice that this is the smallest bedroom in the house, and you call the attention of your wife | to the fact by observing: | “Why on earth don't you ‘open the door? Do you want to smother me?” She opens the door and you start again and she helps you with the lamp. First, she puts it on the wrong side of the rail, then she moves it so the heat comes up from the chimney and scorches your nose. Just as you | need it the most you lose sight of it entirely, and, turning around, find her examining the wall to see how that man has put on the whitewash. This | excites you, and brings out the perspiration in greater profusion, and you declare that you will kick the bedstead out of doors if she doesn't | come around with that light. Then | she comes around. Finally the cord is laid all right, and you proceed to execute the very delicate job of tightening it. The lower ropes are first walked over. This is done by stepping on the first one and sinking it down, hanging to the head-board with the clutch of death. ! Then you step with the other foot on | the next line, spring that down, lose your balance, grab for the head-board, | miss it, and come down in a heap. ES.

You first put one foot on each rail, which spreads you some, and as you do it the frightful thought strikes you that if one of these feet should | slip over, nothing on earth would pre- vent you from being split through to_the chin. ‘Then you pull up the first rope until your eyes seem to be on the point of rolling out of their sockets, and the blood in your veins fairly groans, and on being convinced that you can't pull it any further without ecrippling yourself for life, you catch hold of the next rope and draw that up, and grunt. The you move along to the next, and pull that up, and grunt again. Just as you have got to the middle and commence to think that you are about through, even if your joints will never again set as they did be- fore, you some way or other miss the connection, and find that you have got to go back and do it all over. Here you pause for a few minutes of oracular refreshment, and then slowly and carefully work your way back. You don't jump down and walk back. because you are afraid to spread out in that way again. You sort of waddle back, working the way inch by inch, and with consummate patienee. A man thus stretched across the bed- stead never becomes so excited as to lose his presence of mind.
