MAN’S PAGE. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Red, Rough Hands. Dear Miss Leeds: What is good for red, rough hands? I am 16 gfi_rla old. [EL. Answer—I judge from your question that you are not taking proper care of your hands. If you have to wasl dishes and do similar work with your hands, you must take special care of them. Do not put them in very hot water; use only mild soap; after fin- 1shing your work wash your hands and ginse thoroughly in cold water. Dry the skin very carefully. Redness and roughness are often due to failure to Tinse off all the soap and to dry thor- oughly. Next rub a hand lotion on your skin. There are very good ones on the market, but here is one yoy can make yourself.

My friend is leaving her firm in September and I _am trying to take her piace, but I am rather nerv- ous about my shorthand. “I can take and transcribe my notes rapidly at school, but when it comes to doing so for a boss I get confused and en I am lost. Is it because I haven't enough confidence in myself, or is it because I haven’t had enough experience?

LOIS LEEDS. Reducing Muscular Figure. Dear Miss Leeds: I am 16 years old, | 5 feet 6 inches tall and weigh 146 | pounds. I am_very athletic and mus- cular, but I think I should bring my weight down. How much should I try to lose? JANET. Answer—Although you are about 20 pounds above the average weight for your age and height, I would not con- sider you really too heavy. If you were fat and flabby, reducing would be ad- visable, but since you are solidly built and have a large frame it is natural for you to weigh more than the aver- age.” However, if you think you are get- ting too fat, here are a few diet sugges- | tions for you: First, never eat between meals. Second, eat fruit with every meal and o large serving of salad at least | once a day. Third, do not eat to reple- tion—trat s, stop before you feel full. | Fourth, chew thoroughly and do not | wash down your food with swallows of | Mquid. Pirth, avoid foods fried in deep | fat, also rich pastries and oversweet | deserts. LOIS LEEDS. of the modern woman. | means that you don't trust yourself. | That cramps your mind and hand. It's | just like a nervous man driving a car | for ‘the first time. He's apt to do the | wrong thing only because he isn't sure of himself. Praetice gives him self- confidence. Active work in an office is your best cure. Take your friend’s position. Even if you fail, you will have learned some- thing. You will have had some expe- rience, and the next stenographer’s job vou get you will be able (o fill all right. But probably, after one week's actual stenographic work in the first job, all your fear and nervousness will disap- ear. P hall never forget the first letter | T took down in shorthand in an office. It was five pages long, of single-space typing, when it was done, but before it was done I had suffered so that I was almost ill with terror. I lay awake half the night trying to remember what the boss had said. I was pretty | sure that I couldn't read my motes, | Next day I had to make up part of | | the letter, but it wasn't as bad as I| had expected, and after that there was no_further trouble. You will have a bad dey or two to| | begin with. Nobody can help you to | | avoid that, but you will get over that | soon enough and in a_ month will be | Jaughing at yourself. The girl who re- fuses to try something new because she is afraid of a few nervous hours in the beginning is never going to get anywhere.

AD the Queen of Sheba been & naturalist she would have real ized how much more beaut! fully the insects were clothed than she. They have always worn silk undergarments. Their babies krow only the softest of silk sheets and downy comforts. All about you tiny insect infants are snoozing away under ¢ fairylike swaddling clothes which they have woven themselves. Silk thread for stitching their gar- ments together has always been used, and it is the strongest and purest of silk at that. The ants were the first to use the shuttle idea. When they made up their minds to sew two leaves together to form a shelter for their milkmalds and cattle, they looked about for something which would hold the edges of the leaves together. It occurred to them, most likely, that their younger children all spun the finest silk threads when they were making their silk comforts before interning as children. Several ants are dispatched to the nursery while others search for the leaves well located near a herd of aphids. The leaves are never severed from the stem. Groups of ants hold the edges of the two leaves to- gether and the assistants soon appear, each with an infant in her mouth, They hold a youngster to the edge of the leaf and with a slight squeeze urge her t6 part with a bit of her silk. She is woven back and forth as the tiny thread of silk is spun. Only a small amount is taken from each wee shuttle, then she is returned to the nur: Insect, children have the same habit of outgrowing their clothes as our chil- dren have. They attend to the matter of new garments themselves, which must be a great relief to their parents. First of all, a new outfit is grown right under the old one, and when the old suit is too snug, the owner stops eating for a day or two and the old suit splits down the back. The newly clad one wriggles out or steps out of the old suit. The bagworm baby, upon leaving her comfortable home, finds that thorns have a way of hurting her tender “tummy.” She finds that going about unclad just will not do. She eats many leaves and soon digests them into won- derful silk. Then she begins making her silk-lined coat. Sre snips off a bit of leaf and spreads it with liquid silk, adds a bit of bark and gradually has voven a piece of material the length of her body. She sews the edges to- gether and turns a somersault into the girdle. With a few twists the garment settles into position and she adds to the front edge, pushing the coat down as she grows more buxom. Should dan- ger appear she pulls her head back into the open neck. She strolls over the tree with ease. Her tender body is pro- tected from sharp thorns and eager enemies. Eve must have seen a caterplllar wrap herself up in a leaf and walk away clothed properly. She then adapted the idea to her own use. We have as yet invented few things that the insects have not been using for millions of her jackets were worn long ago ‘When the infant . his eggshell had a leather cap.

The heir of the Apollo butterfly wears a rain coat which he waterproofs with wax. Another infant, the offspring of Mrs. Bembex Wasp, makes one of sand and silk. The clothes-moth infant has a coat of many colors. She moves over the garment she is using for her material and walks about selecting bits here and there.

In himself, the doughty John Chapman was not the sort of person that, if he were living | today, would be very good hero stuff, except, perhaps, in certain districts. Born somewhere in New England about 1775, he came to Ohio about 1801, on a raft, with nothing on but some gunny sacking and no goods but some apple seeds. Contrary to the best horticultural opinion, he would never take cuttings of apples. He claimed that this method of reproduction was unhealthy. Ap- ples from honest seeds for Johnny!

If I do, I will have every luxury and never have to work. But I do not love her and I am in love with a . What shall I do? Shall I marry for money or shall I marry hings in ife? Flease, Mis D, tontiaer that after all money Ialks and ease, , consi after all money_talks and all the delightful things one can do with it, yR. R. R. Answer.—Certainly money is not to be despised. A certain amount of it 1s one of the necessary ingredients of happiness, but money alone, no matter how much of it you , will not make happiness, for, curi- th‘ll 1fit it ‘will not buy is always the thing you ously enough, the one want most. It will not buy life for the aged. It will not buy health for the sick. It will not buy beautiful straight limbs for the crippled, and in your par- ticular case it will not buy for the rich girl the love of the man she desires for a husband, nor will it buy happiness for you if you marry the woman you don't care for, while your heart is given to another. I think that a man who sells himself to 8 woman makes a pretty poor bargain, and I have never yet seen one who didn’t have every appearance of regretting it. It automatically puts him into the pet Pomeranian class, and even when he is fed on the fat of the land and has a gold collar to wear and a nice silk cushion to sleep on he knows he is always on the leash and he shows it. ‘When you marry a woman for her money, the chances are that you will not get it. Don't del\ldtgllelf into the bellef that as soon as the ceremony is over your wife turn over to you all of her stocks and bonds end real estate. The modern rich girl is not only foxy, she is hard- boiled, and she knows that the only way to keep a bought husband is to keep paying him off on the installment plan. She knows that her only allure is in her pocketbook, and so she keeps a death grip on it. She will feed you and clothe you and let you live in her houses and pay your railroad tickets and permit you to drive her c: and dole you out & little pocket money, but that's about all you will get.

I don't agree with you I think the things that you are chucking into the discard are the really wonderful things in life. Surely nothing is so wonderful as love. There is nothing that money can buy you that is like the rapture of love's young dream. No happiness that money can bring you that compares with the joy of being with the one you love and who loves you. ‘The really wonderful things of life are love and work and ambition, and any man who throws these away to become a parasite on a woman makes a sorry bargain.
