Dear Miss Leeds—Could you please advise me what to do for the tender skin under my eyes? It is sallow and puffy. Each night I put cold cream usder my eyes, but it does not seem to help my trouble. Thanking you in advance and hoping you can help me, A CONSTANT READER. Answer.—Such pouches under the eyes are quite often an indication that the general health is not up to par. So see a doctor first and find out if there is anything underlying physical cause for the condition. Take regular exercise out of doors every day and get plenty of sleep. Of course, the skin itself needs spe- cial care also. At night, after first cleansing the face thoroughly, massage some tissue cream into the skin under the eyes. Great @are must be taken in this massage 50 that the tissues are not stretched. - Massage the cream in very gently with a patting movement of the fingertips, working from the nose outward. Leave the’ cream on overnight and next morning after wash- ing in cold water apply the following astringent, allowing it to dry on the . OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL Nobody Likes Me. “Nobody likes me. I'm not going to g0 to school any more.” “Why, Mollie. What a thing to say.” “I don't care. It's true” “Why don't they like you?” “T don’t know. They never ask me to play with them. They go off by themselves and talk, and if I go over to them they tell me to go aw: “But don’t you ever play with “When I do they fight with me. I try to tell them how to do things and they get mad and walk off.” “Why don't you just play? Not bother whether they do it right or not?” “If they do it wrong? Am I going to_let them do it wrong?” Mollie managed to go through the grade school and enter high school. Here as before, “Nobody likes me.” The teachers were mean. They gave her bad marks “just because.” They al- ways gave her the back seat and some- body else the front seat. The girls were mean, too. They wouldn't let her have an office in any society. Voted her it she was nominated. Didn't invite her to the parties. And the boys were just as bad. After many scenes and arguments and bickerings' Mollie was graduated from high school and got & position in an office where there were four other girls. Again, “Nobody likes me. I'm telling them to do right and they won't listen to me and they'rs jealous.” Soon the complaint extended to the boss. “He doesn't like me, Never looks at me. Why doesn’t he like me?” Mollie lost one job after the other and always she walled, “Nobody likes e~ “Well,” sald he Aunt Jane one day, briskly as a clear-eyed aunt would say it, “I can't say as I blame them.” “Why, the idea, Aunt Jane.

SPROWLS. Biological Inferiority. Feelings of inferiority of one kind or another are the rule, not the e h as most sufferers are inclined to believe. These feelings of inferiority usually criginate somewhere, theoretically any- where, in the body. For, of course, the body and mind are partners—what af- fects one affects the other. Our anclent forbears lived in a world of struggle and discomfort. ‘Then strength alone and its ready and full exercise made for feelings of adequacy— the opposite of inferiority, This is merely a fact of natural history. We live in a world of comparative ease and comfort. Our fullest péwers cre rarely called into activity. Al- though we inherit the ancient tenden- cles to exercise our powers in full, we lack the opportunities to do so. A vague feeling of something undone, something untried, something untested, is the result. Racial memories of this ancient strergth are part and parcel of our very bones and muscles,. We really know nothing about them. Such mem- ories make up the unconscious, and they affect our consciousness in ways we know nothing of, in forms we cannot realize, much less explain. Competition and the fear of it cause us to forget at times our unconscious memories of adequacy. Then they re- turn. The net result is the unfavorable contrast of our conseious living selves with our unconscious past selves. This cgntrast generates the feeling of inade- qhiacy or inferiority.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX EAR MISS DIX—I have a very good looking hushand who has a roving eye for the opposite sex, and I would like to ask you if I am doing right when I literally throw girls at his head. When he particularly admires one I have her at the house, morning, noon and night, and after a few weeks he is so disgusted with her he tells me not to have her any more. one and then another, but nothing serious about it. my husband kisses a girl before my face he will kiss her 1 should try to keep him away from all young women. My friend tells me that if behind my back, and that Incidentally, she is in- sanely jealous of her husband and they are fighting all the time, while my hus- band and I never have a quarrel. Which method of treating a husband ésnbesc? K. Answer: I have known many wives faced with your problem who solved it happily for all concerned by turning it into a merry jest, These very men are really not in love with these other women, nor have they ceased to care for their wives nor do they desire to break up their homes. Most of them still think that their wives are the finest women in the world and do not compare the little flappers or the gay divorcees or the gold-digging adventuresses with their Marias for a minute. You are wise in giving your husband too much of your rivals instead of trying to keep him away from them. Let him live under the same roof with one and see how she looks at breakfast when she isn't dolled up. Let him have to listen to hours of her conversation. Let him find out her perculiarities of temper and temperament and he finds out that she isn't so charming as the wife he has. As for jealousy it will drive even a faithful man into sidestepping. To have a wife who keeps tab on him and who throws fits every time he speaks to a ‘woman would make any red-blooded man forsake her. There are a lot of things in married life that a woman does well to laugh off instead of making into a tragedy. IDEAR Miss DIX-—Do you think 70 years is too old for people to X marry? DOROTHY DIX. Answer: Not if they want to and can find some one of suitable age to be a companion during the last of the journey. But people of 70 are too old to change their habits and way of life, and so they should be very certain to pick out hus- bands and wives who have the same tastes, and have lived pretty much the same DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1931.) kind of lives that they have. Types of Portable Lights BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. : e WS T Two styles of decorative portable lights which may be regulation candles, or simulated by candlelight electric bulbs. Portable lights were once a necessity, or at least of such convenience that they were counted among the regular household equipments. The crudest and earliest of these portable lights were flaming sticks of wood. These devel- oped into torches of many varities in the course of their evolution. They were for use out of doors. Matches of today are infinitesimal torches of the earliest type. Besides being inadequate lighting elements, matches are unsafe to carry about as sparks of the wood sometimes fall and ignite inflam- mable material disasterously. Candles are from their very nature always portable lights because they can be carried about in suitable candlesticks. They are most similar to torches, though the ancient oil lamp in which the wick floated on the oll was a good These electric candles are the last word in portable lights. They are made to closely resemble candles. They are fit- ted with batteries as flashlights, which in reality they are—flashlights de luxe. Like the Boy Scout flashlights, they can remain burning or only flash at will. To this day regulation candles re- main in use as portable lights. They are not now so costly as to prohibit their common use, as was the case in the Middle Ages. Candles retain their popularity largely because of their deco- rativeness. ‘Their long slightly irreg- ular surfaces with their tapering tips are interesting. The ability to carry out color schemes by them in illuminatin elements and the charm of their flick- ering light, with its flattering becoming fllumination, has never Add to this the fact that portable, that it can be moved and shifted to suit the most fastidious de- mands and its popularity is found to be based on a sure foundation. Its mod- ern rival, the electric candle, cannot cope with all these elements, but its convenience cannot be denied. Oll lanterns are now utilitarian port- able lights only. There has never been found anything that would exactly take thefr zhu. ‘They are not ornamental— that is, the types found today, and which are indispensible for trainmen, ships, etc. Once the oil lantern was made in fine designs of wrought iron with engraved and colored glass lights. ‘These portable lights are sought today as fixtures for electric illumination in halls especially. They, like the torches of antiquity, may also be used for out- of-door illumination, not as the light- ing elements, but as fixtures for the ultra-modern electric bulb which is conveniently manipulated with a switch. No r is it portable, but its deco- rative features are appreciated now as in_times past. In dwellings of this era, in which electric light switches are conveniently positioned in walls, portable lights are not so needed as of old. However, they continue to be in demand, as instanced in the novelty electric candle and in the continued use of candles, lanterns and flashlights. To Remove Lint.

Joan was the most excited youngster alive, She was going to spend the week end with her beloved Aunt Nona. It is quite true that Nona was not really her aunt, but a lifelong friend of Nan- cy's. S8he was employed in a downtown bank. Her family lived in another town, 30 she had her own apartment. It was to this apartment that Joan was going. Aunt Nona came for her at 3 o’clock on Saturday afternoon. Joan had her small bag packed at 9 o'clock that morning. When it came time to say “good-by,” her small cousin, Peter, was on hand. Aunt Nancy bade her good-by in grown-up fashion, with never so hu- miliating a command as “Now, be & good girl and don't bother Aunt Nona.” No, indeed, Nancy knew better than that, She treated the trip casually and was amused to see how well Joan re- sponded. Aunt Nancy had decided that her niece was getting fed up with her own household, bored with her surroundings. She knew what a short trip did to change her own point of view. Why wouldn't the same thing work with a 6-year-old? Once arrived, Joan made & number of rather derogatory comments on the small apartment, but Nona made no comment. She put Joan to work setting table, helping with dishes. Later they sat before the fireplace while Aunt Nona read a story. Then Joan went to bed. Sunday was a day of great de- telephone conversation. her a world of good. She came home with & new point of view. She liked us all better, thought more appreciatively of her own bed and has done nothing but tell us what a good time she had. She hopes you will ask her again. Nona grinned. “You know, I think I will, Nancy, she was good for me, 100. She gave me a new point of view on my own possessions.” Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Handling People. The most puzzling of everyday prob- lems belong to what might be called the art of hlfld.llnfi people. It's really a science—the science of organized com- mon sense. Out of the devices which successful men have used, a few are now begin- ning to erop out in recent literature on the subject. I mention only & few of the leading schemes: 1. Find out what the fellow's hobby is, and turn quietly to it, when you want to get his attention. The securing of attention is about the first law of everything pertaining to psychological control. 2. Next create hypothetical situations and study your subject’s reactions to them. One of the greatest ball pitchers of all times kept a notebook on his de- liveries to all the batters in the league. Many successful business executives have studied their subordinates by ask- ing them to find solutions for problems which had already been solved. Almost any one becomes sympathetic’ with a person who shows a respect for his in- telligence. 3. Try to recall something that was said the last time you talked with the person you are trying to handle. In this way you may secure a co-operation which no direct request will bring. 4. Try to remember that every hu- man situation involves personalities as well as other facts. In fact personality is the bigggest fact in the world. If you can mentally trade places with the fel- low you are trying to control, you will discover a host of clues for determining ways and means for getting along. (Copyright, 1031.)
