MONA. Answer. Falling eyelashes are usually | an indication that one's general health is below par. Have a thorough physical examination by a doctor. Make sure that you are not underweight for age | and height. A simple eyewash that may be used daily may be made by dis- solving a heaping teaspoonful of boric acid in & pint of water. Use an eye cup | or a medicine dropper to wash out the eyes. having_ the lotion tepid; use the wash several times a day. Continue | using the white vaseline (or olive oil) on the lashes every night to promote their growth.

(Copyrisht, 1930.) Cake Decoration. A very dainty cake decoration ap- peared recently at a children’s pari The cake was decorated with citron, | which had been placed in the oven be- fore cutting until heated through so that it could be easily sliced and then cut into thread-like strips from the out- side for the long stems, which were arranged artistically on the iced cake. Thin, oval bits of green citron were ar- ranged to simulate leaves. Any kind of | candied fruit may be used to form the | flowers and. buds. HISTORIC BY J. P. George Washington had an interest-| ing view of love. He contended that it could be resisted and controlled. This view was expressed in the eve- ning of hic life when he was 66. Half a century earlier his young heart was adjusting itself with considerable phil- | osophical creaking and grinding to rejection at the hands of a beautiful Virginia girl. We have no positive information as to the identity of the lass who turned a cold shoulder to the ardent approaches of the youthful Washington. About all we know is that he called her the “low- land beauty.” LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE.

She puts one ounce of flower of sulphur into a quart of water and gave the liquid a few hours to settle. Every morning she saturated her head with the clear liquid. Occasionally, also, she rubbed the scalp with a little olive oil. She also sends a method for remov- pint of bay rum add a tablespoonful of flower of sulphur and apply to the marks once a day. In two or three | weeks, she claims, they will disappear Speaking of flower of sulphur, another reader has had great success drying up | pimples by touching them frequently with a solution made of equal parts alcohol and ether with a tablespoonful of flower of sulphur added to wiat she calls a small bottleful. A three or four ounce hottle would be a good proportion. Another reader uses the fol g dye for her eyebrows: One qua dram peroxide of manganese, one dram of | water and two of glycerin. This makes |a medium brown; a little mangenese will make a darker brown.

At first he was quiet and good, but one ex- perience with a tired and hurried bar- ber soured him on it. But when Sonny went to the barber shop with his father and watched him have his hair cut and when father went along next time and sat in another Chair, so that they were both being shorn simultaneously, he took pride in acting as daddy did and there were no more tears. On the day they are to go to the bar- ber shop, Mrs. V. H.

A reader writes: | “1 am glad to note that in your col- umn you use good sense in answering mother's questions. 1 was pleased at the reply you made to a mother who called her child a ‘young demon’ when you said that she probably dictated 00 much. This was made clear to me in a visit to a friend whose daughter is 28 months old. In playing, this child irritates the mother and she is admon- ished and scolded constantly “The child screams out at times and the mother calls it ill-temper. Parents should know that a baby's only lan- guage is a cry and try to ascertain why they are crylng rather than abusing them.” } One must feel a sense of compassion for young parents so entangled in a thousand new experiences _that - they | cannot find thelr way out.
