EAUTIFU BY LOIS LEEDS HEN blackheads form in dry, sensitive skins they are| harder to remove than when they are in coarse. oily skins. The pores of the ¢ty skin do not secrefe enough oil 1o soften the blackheads and the skin itself is so ten- der that drastic treatments are inad- visable. Before the blackheads—which are often very tiny—can be removed they must be softened by steaming and the application of warm oil. Some beauty experts disapprove of steaming alto- ther, but when done in moderation I lieve it is very helpful. Just wring out a turl face cloth in hot water and hold it against the face. Before it has cooled heat it again and repeat the hot application several times. Quickly blot the skin dry and immediately pat on some warm olive oil with a piece of clean absorbent cotton. Leave this on for five minutes, then wipe it off with tissue squares or clean sofi cloth. Next comes the soap and water cleansing Since dry sensitive skins usually be- come blotchy when washed with ordi- nary facial soaps, a mixture of soap and meal is used at this step in the treat- ment. Cut a piece of clean cheesecloth mbout 5 inches square and on the cen- ter place a heaping tablespoonful of rolled oats and one level teaspoonful of grated castile so2p. Gather up the corners of the squar: and tie them. making a little bag. Soak the bag in a basin of warm water a minute or two.| then rub it on your face. Rub slowly and gently all over with an upward, ro- tary motion. Now rinse in clean warm water and give a final rinse in a basin- ful of cold water to which has been added four drops of simple tincture of benzoin. Blot the skin dry. If there is any sign of facial ness, apply a littl leave it on over ni The entire treatment may be given once or twice a On the interven- ing days it may tened by the My Neighbor Says: i To cook a chicken which is to be used for soup and creaming, | | select a hen, wash well and cut nto serving pieces.

LD Asia has had attention dur-’ ing the past few months. Japan's warfare against China has caused people of the Western World to turn their eves toward the Orient, wondering what would happen next.

Constantinople is the largest city in Turkey, and until a few vears ago was capital of the country. It still belongs to the Turks. If we count people in the suburbs, it has a population of a little more than 1.000.000. A great many Turks wear clothing of much the same kind as ours. In former times Turks had queer costumes. Men wore round red caps made from felt or other cloth, and their trousers were baggy. Women wore very long dresses; they seldom walked along a public street, and when they did so their faces were almost covered with veils. The round cap (or “few™) is still worn by some Turks, but it is not nearly so common as before; and the same is true of veils and baggy trousers. -Tur- key has become a republic, and the Turks have been busy copying the of Western Europe.
