Dear Miss Leeds: (1) I am 43 years old and have used face powder for the 1ast two years without applying a powder base, with the result that my skin feels tight and dry. How can I remedy it? (3) 1 have a_fair skin, blue eyes and brown hair. What colors miy 1 wear? (3. My hair is just beginning_to fade and:is streaked with gray, Wil the sage and black tea lotion be helpful? I do not want to start dveing it, as I am afraid it will make my hair dry and brittle in time. MRS. Z. W. A. Angwer—Before washing your face at bedtime be sure to cleanse it well with & light-weight cleansing cream or oil ‘Wipe off the surface dust and make-up and then wash with warm water and a mild soap. Rinse in tepid water and dry the face thoroughly with a clean, soft towel. . Apply a little skin food. tissue cream or an oily night cream and massage the face and neck for several minutes with the fingertips. Wipe off the excess cream, leaving a thin film of the cream on the skin overnight to act as a lubricant during sleep. In the morning wipe the face with a cloth moistened with rose-water or other skin freshener or lotion. Apply a little cold cream or a milky foundation base and finish the make-up. Once a week have a thorough facial pack. using the warm ofl treatment which was de- scribed in detail in my daily beauty column quite recently.

Suddenly a Merry Little Breeze wandered Peter's way and tickled that wabbly little nose of his. Peter stopped abruptly. That Merry Little Breeze had tickled that wabbly little nose with a scent that was not at all to Peter’s liking. You see, that scent ‘was the scent of Reddy Fox. So Peter did the wise thing. He froze, as they say. That means that he stopped and kept perfectly still. ¢ Merry Little Breeze had gone on. Presently, however, another Merry Little | Breeze came dancing along. This one blew in Peter’s ears and ruffied his fur and tickled his nose and then danced away. Peter no longer sat still. You /A vy &y //»‘"ut... ALMOST AT ONCE PETER KNEW ‘THAT REDDY FOX WAS AFTER HIM. see, this Merry Little Breeze had danced off in the direction of Reddy Fox and if, as Peter suspected, this Merry Little Breeze was carrying some of Peter's own acent, it wouldn't be long before Reddy Fox would be looking for him. So Peter took to his long heels. It was no longer safe to “freeze.” Almost at once Peter knew that Reddy Fox was after him. Peter then thought quickly. He knew he couldn’t outrun Reddy Fox. He might outrun him for a very short distance, and he might outdodge him for a little while, but the only sure way of saving his skin was to find a place of safety and find it quickly. Bo as he ran Peter was doing some fast thinking. He knew of a certain | ltttle bramble tangle not far y, but it was a small tangle and he knew that he wouldn't feel really safe there. He remembered a hollow log big enough for him to get into, but too small for | Reddy Fox to get into. However, this | was quite a distance away. It was farther than Peter felt like running ‘Then he remembered a certain hole One of Johnny Chuck’s family had dug that hole a Jong time before. It wasn't used now and the entrance was half | filled with dead leaves. But it was a | %00d hole. Peter knew that, for he had | Granulatéd Sugar best for cooking: preserving . baking candy-making “Sweeten it with Domino!’ Granulated, Tablet.

Rinse in several waters to remove every par- ticle of lather, then rinse in the sage and black tea lotion. Dry between warm towels.

So Peter decided that the sooner he reached that hole the better it would be for him. Lipperty-lipperty-lip ran Peter, as only Peter can run. After him and not very far behind him came Reddy Fox. Peter's ears were laid back and he was running with_all_his might. lipperty lipperty-lip. Then all in a flash Peter remembered something. He remembered that just ahead of him was the nest of Mrs. Quack, the Mallard Duck. He hadn't seen her in the Smiling Pool and so he suspected that she was on her nest. If he kept on the way he straight line for that hole, he would have to jump right over Mrs. Quack. “This won't do,” thought Peter. Reddy Fox will be sure to find Mrs. Quack and he probably would rather have Mrs. Quack than he would to have me for dinner. Oh, dear, what shall I do? I can’'t have Mrs. Quack caught through any fault of mine. I wish 1 had started for that hollow log instead of for that hole. I'll have to do it now and I°shall have to run for all I'm worth to get there.” Peter abruptly changed direction in that sudden way of his, and away he went, lipperty-lipperty-lip, lipperty-lip- perty-lip. With every jump he was going away from Mrs. Quack and her nest; whereas before with every jump he had been going toward her. He was out of breath when he reached that hollow log. He was out of breath and he reached it just in time. The teeth hollow log and was safe. And back there on her nest Mrs. Quack was very very grateful. You see, she had seen Peter when he dodged.

Do it even tl you think the food he orders is not what will it your child's needs. If | you knew what to do you would have no need of the specialist. Some children cannot eat meat. Some cannot eat eggs. Some have no use for spinach because of a peculiarity of their digestive organs. Some have defects that cause 31 this trouble. Some have diseases hidden from all save the keen and practiced expert. Find the cause and then do all you can to remedy it. Sometimes there is nothing wrong | but poor health habits. The child does' not follow his routine of sleeping, rising, bathing and meal time. He eats be- tween meals. He get sugar in_liberal doses on everything he eats. His in- testines are sluggish and his stomach is sour. His mouth is unclean because of fermentations and the discharges from various teeth or diseased tonsils. Change the habits and clean up the results from them, and the child’s eat- ing habits. will respond accordingly. As well as setting a time for each meal put a time limit on it. Twenty minutes is usually sufficient time for the business of eating. In some cases we can extend it to half an hour, but that is unwise unless you have a child who is likely to swallow his meals whole if you do not delay the service.
