A fair skin goes with natural red hair, so that you will look odd if you change the shade of your hair.

A dark shade of rouge is suitable for a dark skin; try ashes of rose or brick. LOIS LEEDS. Gaining Weight. Dear Miss Leeds—I am 22 years old, B feet 4 inches tall and weigh only 101 pounds. I want to gain weight, but I just can't eat. I'm taking a tonic, too. How can I fill out thin thighs and hollow cheeks? Will patting the cheeks make them fuller? !:{m Answer—You are about 24 pounds below the average weight for your age and height. You should have a thor- ough physical examination by a doctor | to see what is the trouble. Have all | your teeth X-rayed if the doctor can- | hair may be | I do not think red | | not find the cause of your thinness. | | Do not dose yourself with patent medi- | cines without medical advice. You | must build up your weight if you wish to fill out your cheeks and have a well formed body. Patting the cheeks stimu- | Iates the circulation in them, but I do | not think it can make your cheeks | | fatter. Lack of appetite fs sometimes | due to lack of fresh air and outdoor | exercise. Be sure to sleep eight or nine hours in a quiet, dark, well ventilated room each night. Take a nap in the | afternoon if possible. Your diet prob- ably needs adjusting. Include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables as weil as the usual fattening items like oread and butter, cream, potatoes, etc. Ask vour doctor to outiine a diet for you, LOIS LEEDS. 1920.)

JOHN R. GU) The Tonic of Pleasant Words. Text—"Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul and health to the bones.”—Prov. 16:24. Solomon is speaking here of what pleas- ant words mean to those to whom spok- en. Indeed, they are “sweet to the soul and health to_the bones” of those who | hear them. But they are no less 0 | for the speaker than the hearer. In fact, I believe the speaker of pleasant words, as_a rule, derives from them more benefit than the one whom he had dresses. For the purpose of this talk, I am thinking of the value of pleasant words as a health tonic to the one who speaks them. Happy and cheerful words spoken to others react upon the speaker, and contribute to his own happiness and cheerfulness. Thus they become “health to his bones.” Anything that helps to keep one in a bright and sunny mood is a help to good health, and there are few things that will help to keep one in such a mood more than the habit of kindly and pleasan: speech. This is no mere theory. Try it out. THE - EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, PARIS.—Coin spot silks are as chic this Summer as they have been for the past few Summers.

June 20, 1863.—Secrecy was main- tained by the military authorities here today regarding the exact whereabouts of the Union Army of the Potomac. It is known, however, that the various Army _corps are in position to protect the City of Washington against the Confederate Army of Gen. Lee and to glve battle at the proper time, if it Should turn out that the Confederates | are marching in force into Pennsylvania.

Beazell, United States Volunteers, received a report here this morning from Fayette County, Pa., that Confe erates in heavy force appeared to be ad- vancing in the direction of Pittsburgh by way of the National Road leading ecross the Allegheny Mountains. Their pickets had reached Grantsville, Md., 48 hours ago. That place is 38 miles from Uniontown in Fayette County, Pa. A Confederate force is also reported to have entered McConnelisburg, Pa. early yesterday morning. The Confe erate “soldlers opened all the stores, helping themselves to boots, shoes, hats and other articles that they could carry | away. The town was so completely taken by surprise that the citizens had no times to get their horses out of the | reach of the Confederates, with the re- | sult that many horses fell into the nemy hands. The Confederates are also | | reporied to have driven away $12,000 worth of cattle.
