Your columns have been so helpful to others I would like to have your advice, I have been going with a boy for about two or three months and like him very much, and he has told other people he liked me better than any girl he ever knew. When at a “leap year” dance how many dances should I give him? Do you think it consid- ered unladylike to wear small pearl earrings or would they make me look coarse? What should a girl say when asked to have a dance? Is it really wrong to let a boy kiss you if he is in earnest?—Perplexed B, -~ I hope from henceforth these col- umns will prove helpful to you and that you will come just as often as questions bother you, It depends upon how many dances there are, I should think you could give him every other one. Girls are wearing earrings now, and if small I see no harm, for the ears are not pierced these days and it is only a harmless passing fad to wear: them, I think it is really wrong to let a boy kiss you and per haps you will think I am very prim to say so. If the boy really thinks a lot of you, you can eyplain in a satis- factory manner why you'd rather not permit familiarity and he will appre- ciate and understand your situation and like you all the better, A Short Contest. Please give me some little game to while away a few moments before refreshments are served after a card party.—Madame Grundy. After a card party, while the hostess was busy putting the finishing touches to her refreshments, the guests had this interesting pastime. Printed on little paper bags were the following questions: 1. Bag—A city. 2. Bag—A trifle, 3. Bag—A musical wind instru- ment, . Bag—Luggage. 6. Bag—A kind of cloth, Bag—Caught in a sack, Bag—A fish, Bag—Stretching or pouching. I kept when traveling. Answers: 1, Bagdad; 2, Bagatelle; 3, Bagpipe; 4, Baggage; §, Bagging; 6, Bagged; 7, Bagre; 8, Bagging; 9, Bagatelle; 10, Baggage car. To the one answering the most the hostess presented a dainty silk bag, and then she filled the little bags with home-made candy.

A pair of candy tongs must be in readiness for each player and a bex for containing the candy “straws.” The game is to see how many sticks may be withdrawn from the pile without breaking or throwing the pile into confusion, Progressions are made and the score kept.

Entertainment for Bride-Elect. 1 am to entertain a bride-elect and am puzzled as to what to do in the way of entertainment. What can you suggest?—A, L, T. 1 wonder if you have had either & magazine, book cr a “den” shower? At the first the guests decide before hand what subscriptions to magazines to give, each one contributing 50 cents. This assures pleasure for the whole year. The book idea is carried out in the same way. For the “den” there are so many attractive things to get. A sugges- tion is for five or six to club together and give all the pieces for desk set, all to match. Those of leather are especially attractive. Copper or dull brass are also much liked. Then there would be candlesticks, waste paper basket, etc. A “Western Girl's” Answers, You are rather stout for your height, but no doubt will grow much more slender as you grow older, so take all the exercise you can every day, especially walking. Never lead a man on; it is the most unkind thing when you just intend to turn him down. I ; think it is decidedly wrorg to allow boys to kiss you. Perhaps your let- ters went astray and the boy may not i have received the last one; there will / mm“m“ hmnmhvflu-(hluut PSS, A - AKEY B —— ' zoin and beat steadily till cold. t ' ounce each tincture of benzoin, bay | was written I f erties is made from a half ounce of N0, FLA,, DEC. 5, 1912, LOTION EASILY MADE|mmmer e CLEANSING CREAM SUITABLE || FOR THE TOILET TABLE. ‘ | In Many Ways Better Than Can Bs' Purchased, Because Desired Quan- tity May Always Be Prepared as Desired. Do you like to mix your own lotions and experiment with the attractive looking formulas for creams which | you so often see printed? It is a very delightful occupation and when the lotion comes out beautifully blend-d and with the delicate fra- grance of a high-priced article; when the cream is white and smooth and dainty. one feels well repaid for one's time and effort. There is another side to this story, however, because sometimes the lo- tion comes out all curdled looking and queer and the cream disintegrates and will not blend, no matter what you do. Then you register a vow that you will never, never again at- tempt to prepare your own cosmetics, but will spend your dollars for the prepared articles gratefully. One great difficulty with many of the published formulas is that they are too complicated for any one but a chemist to prepare and another is because the directions are seldom clear. It is not wise to use much guess-work when mixing creams and it the formula leaves you in doubt, lay it aside for a simpler one, or take it to your druggist and ask his advice about how to put the ingredi- ents together, I have had frequent requests for the following formulas and I am sure you will experience no difficulty in preparing them even though you are the veriest amateur, provided you follow the directions carefully: For a cleansing cream, heat two ounces of oil of sweet almonds and melt in it & lump of white wax as large gs a walnut; when these two ingredients are well blended add a rounding tablespoon of white vase- line and a few drops of oil of rose geranium, and beat the mixture while it is cooling tiil it is Mght and creamy. A good nourishing cream contains one-half ounce each spermaceti and white wax melted in a double boiler or dish set in a pan of boiling water; add one ounce cocoa butter, one ounce imported lanolin and three ! ounces sweet almond oil, When melt- | ed and thoroughly blended remove ; from the fire, add two ounces rose- ! water and one dram tincture of ben-, An excellent lotion for the hnndl (the formula for which was sent me | by one of my readers) is prepared from two ounces of glycerin, one rum and alcohol, one-half ounce rose- water and five cents worth of quince seeds. Scald the quince seeds with about one quart of boiling water, cover the dish tightly and let steam. Do not remove the cover for twelve bours, then strain through a thin cloth and add the other ingredients. This is especially good to preveat: the hands from chapping. A simple lotion which is said to| possess bleaching and refining prop‘ | glycerin mixed with a half pint of spoonful of powdered borax dissolved in the mixture. Another lotion which ounce off of sweet almonds, one ounce glycerin, two ounces strained; lemon juice and ten drops of carbollcl acid. A few drops of rose may be‘ added for perfume if desired and the special benefit of the lotion is to cure .the chapped and roughened condmon. of the hands caused from the cold! weather. ANSWERS TO QUERIES. California: Exercise will do more to harden ‘your muscles and increase your appetite and digestive powers than anything else [ can suggest. Go out every day and dig in that lovely ! garden and thank your lucky stars, that you have the garden to enjoy.'

New Reader: You will never sue! ceed in restoring your hair to its natural thickness and beauty by the methods you are following. Quite the contrary effect will result, as they are altogether too strenuous, The hair and scalp are never benefited by | harsh treatment any more than the face would be. You can do more harm by such treatment than you can undo in years. Gentle brushing is advisable, but it should never be car- ried even near the point of irritating the scalp.
