WOM AN’'S PAGE. o THE MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY' LOIS LEEDS. Perspiring Hands. Dear Miss Leeds: (1) I am 15 years old, 5 feet tall and weigh 107 pounds. Is that the correct weight and height for my age? (2) What causes my hands to be cold and clammy all the time? Is there anything I could put on them to keep them ‘from swepting? (3) Does powder base cream and face Massage hands with the lotion PEYRY Totion make blackheads on one's face? Thanking you in advance for your an- | swer, RUBY. Answer—(1) Your weight is very| good for your height. Most charts !i\‘ei that weight as absolutely correct for a girl 1 inch taller than you are, but| T most certainly should not consider it overweight for you (2) Poor circulation or & nervous condition is very often the cause of hands being clammy and cold. Make sure that you drink plenty of water during the day, and also include a plentiful su| ?ly of fresh fpuits and green vegetables in your diet. The fol- lowing ingredients make a very good lotion for perspiring hands: One dram boric acid, two cunces witch-hazel, four ounces rosewater, one-half ounce spir- its of camphor. Shake well. Apply the lotion to the palms and between the fin- gers and massage the backs of the ‘hands for several seconds before going out in the morning and again at\noon and at _bedtime. (3) Not if the face is thoroughly cleansed of all make-up before retiring at night. It is a good plan to pat an astringent lotion or skin'tonic over the face before applying a powder base or any make-up, as this will close the pores, and thus ward off any danger lof the pores becoming clogged with make-up. LOIS LEEDS. Mrs. H. M. W.—Consult your physi- i cian regarding the warts on the baby’s |face. It is dangerous to tamper with {such growths cneself. A reliable skin | specialist can remove them. | e LOIS LEEDS. §. M. J—You are about five pounds overweight, which really is not too much for a girl of your age. It is the older folk who have to worry about [these few extra pounds, not those still under 20. Yeast is not fattening. Its virtue lies ’in the fact that it keeps the digestive tract clean and functioning actively. | Yes, peanut butter is quite fattening if taken in any quantity. | Swimming the breaststroke and the crawl would be splendid exercises for keeping your hips in good proportion. LOIS LEEDS. The Woman Who Makes Good BY HELEN WOODWARD. Who started her career as a frightened typist and who became one of the highest paid business women in of America’s famous authors. Now Good; Now Bad. There's a certain well known author who came out here to write scenarios. For the purpose of this story we will have to call her Juliet Jones. Note that her first name is Juliet. She was put on 8 job of writing dialogue for a pic- ture. Nobody told her how to go about it. Nobody told her anything. But she studied other scenarios, and, being quick and bright, she wrote dialogue which the director of the picture approved heartily. Over the dircctor stands the supe! visor. So mnext day Juliet was called into conference with he supervisor. He said: “Miss Jones, this is great stuff, I'm delighted with it.” “I'm glad you like it,” said Juliet Jones, -running her hand over her bobbed hair in slight embarrassment. “Great stufl,” repeated the supervisor. “I've got to have you in my next pic- ture, t0o.” The director, standing by, patted Miss Jones on the shoulder as though she Helen Woodward.

In & peevish voice he sald: “Why, I thought this was Tessle Jones and that we hired her for my picture. Who is this girl?” Rudely as though she were a wooden image. “Why, this is Juliet Jones.

PEATTIE. ‘Wherever the soil is dark and rich, wherever the maples and beeches are spreading out their first full leafage amd the midges gyrate and the thrush still sometimes sings in the cool of the day, the litlle wild liquorice dances. under the spotted light and shade, and I stop sometimes to dig a root and munch it, or, pressing its long pointed pods, that look rather like the cranesbill's, in my fingers, I delight in the refreshing and sweet aroma that it leaves there. Most of the flowers are gone, but flowers in the parsley family are gen- erally of humble appearance. Indeed, the family that botanists call umbelli- fers, on account of the brella- shaped branches in the flower)clusters, is often reckoned as the poor relations of the flowering plants. By _their fruits ye shall know them; the begin- ner in nature study is soon repelled by the bristly technicalities, as well as the actual bristles on many of their fruits, by which the genera of this family are known. All the same, it is a fascinating family, and it is also what botanists call a “natural” family, that is, it has powerful family characteristics, so that one would almost hever make any mistake about it. It gives us such useful plants as the carrot, parsley, celery, caraway, parsnip, and, better prized in Europe, sweet cicely, salad chervil, skirret, anise, dill, lovage, goutweed and fennel, coriander and cumin seed. ! Gardeners of Washington, those, least, who like “something different, raise eryngo, blue lace-flower, and mas- terwort, and sometimes Queen Anne's lace in the wildflower bed. Growing wild, right here in the District, are some twenty common kinds, not to mention the now prob- ably extinct, enormous and stately cow parsnip that once grew on High Island, and, like almost all the family, would be in bloom this month and the next, if it could be rediscovered. There is also a fascinating supple- mentary list of umbellifers that have not been found in the District for twenty or thirty years or more, and need to be dug up again by persons setting out on the romantic quest of lost flowers. Pirst of all, T would mention the poison hemlock of Europe, by which Hannibal and Socrates were put to death, and a plant Eusmz under the quaint name of mock bishop-weed. It was long ago found at Custis Spring. ‘The native water hemlock that repro- duces without flowers by means of bulblets in the axils of the leaves was discovered in the last century along the Alexandria Canal, opposite the Arlington estate, and is never seen nowadays. The European Chervil has been missing since 1902; the hedge parsley, a waif from Europe, may have strayed, or stayed, we know not which, and the European eryngo or sea-holly is almost certainly a lost pleiad. 8o the umbellifers, queens of the month of June, have the charm that their | handsome species is mostly common, and their little wastrel members have the allure of rarit GUARDIAN OF BEAUTY [ J as well as of purse lexgh's"szoritc Bouquet” Face' Powder, tenderly safe- guards delicate skins, Gentle, caressing ... it spreads smoothly and evenly without streaking or caking and it clings for hours.

To be too curious may lead To very foolish acts, indeed. —Farmer Brown's Boy. Early on the morning after his ar- rival at the ranch near Prairie-dog Town Farmer Brown’s Boy went over to visit it. He had read about Prairie Dogs, but, of course, there were none at home on the Green Meadows, and he was eager to make the acquaintance of these lively little people. He left Flip behind, much to the latter's dis- appointment, “I never could get near them with you along,” he explained. “The sight of all those Dogs would drive you cruzy, and I guess the sight of you would drive them just as crezy. Of course, if they. were really Dogs you might have a chance to get acquainted, but they are not Dogs at all, but cousins of Johnny Chuck. I suppose they are called Dogs because of the way they bark. I'll take you over there some other time. When Farmer Brown's Boy came in sight of the town, he went down on his hands and knees and began to crawl. He crawled slowly and carefully. The nearer he got the flatter he tried to make himself. The nearest house was that of Yap Yap, and Yap Yap was sit- ting upright on his doorstep. He saw Farmer Brown's Boy and began to bark excitedly. In a few minutes Prairie! Dogs were sitting up on houses all over the tdwn, all barking as if they were trying to bark their heads off. Nearer and nearer to Yap Yap crept Farmer Brown'’s Boy, and more and more excited became Yap Yap. Farmer Brown's Boy nearly chuckled aloud at the wa; Yl{) Yap jerked his funny lit- tle tail. All the others were jerking their tails in the same way. “I thought Chatterer the Red Squirrel could jerk his tail about as fast as any one, but he could take lessons from these fellows,” | thought Farmer Brown's Boy. ‘The nearer he got the greater became the excitement. Yap Yap would drop down on all fours and then pop up- right again. All the other Dogs that were near enough to see him were just as _much excifed. They barked and barked, and they jerked thelr funny little tails 50 fast that Farmer Brown's Boy half expected to see one fly right off. Now and then one would dive down into his house, only to pop out again at once. Stubtail was on his doerstep, just as much excited as Yap Yap. Neither of them could sit still for more than a few seconds. They were afraid of this curious creature creeping nearer and nearer, but curi- osity was greater than fear. Never had they seen anything like it. They would start to dive into their homes and safety, only to turn for one more look. Farmer Brown's Boy lay still. He was mav & few feet from Yap Yap now. He hadn't dared hope he could get so near. Mrs. Yap Yap had come to see what all the was about, and she was as ex- cited as Yap Yap. barking and jerking her tail. By this time the whole town was excited. Some of the more distant HE WAS ONLY A FEW FEET FROM YAP YAP NOW, ones were running to the houses of neighbors who lived nearer the edge of town that they might see betier. Now that_ this strange creature was motionless, Yap Yap could hardly con- tain himself. He would come down from his mound and venture a few steps toward Farmer Brown's Boy, then turn (and scamper back, all the time barking. What could this thing be? Of course, it was foolish, very foolish, to remain out there in the open with this thing 50 near. Yap Yap knew that. But every time he would decide to go into the house curiosily would stop him. Presently it began to move again. Mrs. Yap Yap prompily dived into the house. Yap Yap started to, but sat up for one more lcok. At last common |cense overcame curiosity and in he | went. Hardly had he disappeared, how- ever, when up popped his head for just on2 more look. Farmer Brown's Boy was close to tie house by this time, and Yap Yap hastily withdrew his head, but Farmer Erown's Boy could hear him chattering away inside the | house and knew by the sound that he was still near the doorway. As a mat- | ter of fact, he was on the little Janding made for just this purpose, only s little | vay below the Goorway. (Copyright, 1931.) Mustard.
