In recent years some pschychologists have been trying to find out just how many words a person should have in his “vocabulary.

They are more numerous in PETERS, M. . .- Closing the pores under the arms by astringents, if the perspiration is an- noying, does not do any harm. How- ever, it is wise to be sure that the parts are first cleaned with soap and water, before applying the remedy, so that no pus germs are dammed back to form abscesses. A good astringent for the armpits is a 25 per cent solution of aluminum chloride. Experience will tell you how often to use it. At first it may have to be used once a day for a week, then twice a week, etc. For perspiration and bad odor of the feet, a good solu- tion is 1 ounce of liquid formalin to the ouart of water.

Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. Time to Invest. If you have any sizable amount w{ it now or| wait for a more favorable market? Do' invest, should you invest market conditions affect your invest- ments? How are you to know when to invest and when not to invest, or how are you to know in which way your money should be invested. These are questions evidently puz- gling no small number of woman in- vestors. We can make a gencral statement that will be contradicted, we feel, by fow. It is to the effect that there are always investment opportunities. Even in times of panic there have been good investments, and usually when condi- tions are most unsettled, or threaten- ing, investment opportunities are most numerous. If you are investing for income, you can always get a yleld averaging from 4 to 6 per cent, depending on the type of investment you desire. Just at pres- ent, as we have told woman investors, securities of the highest grade are of- fering close to a 5 per cent return, while stocks of an equal grade are of- fering an average of 3 per cent. In short, under present conditions, the woman investor will find her best buys among the high-grade securities.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. When Nancy began to exercise the relaxed muscles of her abdomen she herself with better posture. She found. too, that she was breathing more deeply. She found that she felt better, looked better and slept better. As soon as she saw results from the exer- cise she began to want to strengthen and rejuvenate other muscles. Her chest muscles came in for attention next. She found that she, in common with all women who had worn tight bras- sieres to meet the needs of the flat- chested, straight-lined figures, had al- lowed her chest muscles to grow flabby. She stood at open window with feet together, chin in, chest up and arms hanging relaxed at sides. She®had palms out. First she raised her left arm overhead and swung it back in wide arc, straightening arm as it came back, The palm was facing front. This pulled the shoulder and chest muscles. She repeated this, using right arm. At other times she stood with feet together, chest up, chin in. She stretched her arms in front of her with palms down and arms closly parallel. She inhaled deeply, then exhaled sharply, pulling her arms back by bending them quickly at elbows. When she did this she felt the pull on chest muscles both back and front. She re- peated this exercise ten times and then took her shower., She started with warm water, but finished with | cold. Vigorous drying and dustin, with bath powder made her feel equal to almost anything. (Copyright, LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. 1920.)

She did, but with many a ear, As a young woman in YLondon the only thing that pleased her about Gros- venor square was the iron gate, She used to leave dances early with her fre- quent admirers in order to “sit out.” Having no key, she would climb over the gate in her tulle dress, a dangerous that day, for one might get caught on the gate in a leap from its top, ‘Throughout her youth she always de- clared she would marry a man who would be prime minister.

In answer to numbers of my readers who want to know how to retain youth and beauty I would say Yhat the first step is to see that one’s posture is always correct. Next to watch the mus- cles of the neck as well as one’s habitual expression and skin texture. Sgoner or later practically every one finds that tiny wrinkles are appearing around the eyes and that the facial muscles begin to lose their firmness. Unless one is very careful a fine textured skin will gradually become coarse. Incorrect cleansing methods are apt to cause| blackheads and enlarged pores. In retaining a youthful complexion one must remember that beauty is really more than skin deep and that the proper working of the digestive and eliminative system is essential to beauty. No com- plexion can remain clear and glowing if one is troubled with such ills as indi- gestion or constipation. Usually both these ills can be easily overcome by proper diet and exerclse, which every girl should realize are the two stanchest beauty aids she has. Given abundant health the next step in retaining a youthful complexion may be external treatments. The first essen- tial is absolute cleanliness. Not the tiniest particle of dust or dirt must ever be allowed to remain in the skin. Each individual should study her skin and the best _treatments for her particular type. Washing the face with tepid water and a mild pure soap is a splendid way of cleansing the average skin. Those with tender, scaly skins must not be too lavish in the use of soap and water as they will find that this method has too drying an effect on their complex- ions. Those troubled in this way will usually find that using a cleansing oil before the soap and water and soothin cold eream and skin lotion afterwar will work wonders for them. ‘Those who have a tendency toward oily complexions may find the opposite true; they should use creams sparingly and instead cleanse the face with soap and water and use a mild astringent such as witch-hazel afterward. A wise man once said that every one should think of himself in terms of the ideal. If there is an ideal in mind, think of yourself as having already attained that ideal. While he was not thinking perhaps of physical beauty, his admo- nition is very fitting here also. She who would be truly beautiful must think of herself as being beautiful and lovely— not merely of her outward attractive- My Neighbor Says: To prevent a bowl's sliding on a porcelain table while you are cook- ing, place a small rubber mat under it.
