You can use the bay rum by It- self to cleanse and freshen up the hair. BLANCHE—The peroxide should be ap- plied to the superfluous hair with a sponge. It will not kill the hair growth. It will merely cause the hair to become so light in color that it will be scarcely noticeable. You can apply it every other night the first week and then not quite so often. Let it dry on. No, it will not coarsen the halr. MISS ANXIOUS TO KNOW—My advice to you is to let the growth of hair re- ligiously alone, unless it is dark in color, in which case bleach it with peroxide of hydrogen, as suggested to Blanche. There is no way to remove it except by using a depilatory. This will only remove it for a time, and it will return heavier and stiffer than before. Why do you worry about it, as long as it 1s out of sight? 1 should just never give it a thought. MAUD E. J.—The raised moles—that is, those that are raised above the surface of the skin—can be removed by using acetic acid. Dip the end of a wooden toothpick in the acid and with it touch lightiy the center of the mole. Do this three nights in succession. A crust will then form, which in the course of a cou- ple of weeks will drop off, taking the mole with it. Care must be taken not to get any of the acid on the surrounding white skin, else a scar will result. It is much better to let an experienced hand do work of this sort.

All the rest say that they are, or would like to be, one of the new sort. Now, to be a new woman of the right sort is a wonder- ful thing. But to be a new woman of the wrong sort is a terrible thing. The new woman of the right sort dresses comfortably, though prettily; reads what she pleases; sews when she must, and is very well up on topics of the day. The old woman, you remember, seldom read joned sort.

The new woman has so many of these ideas that she is posi- tively fascinating, and in all my experience, which {8 necessarily from my profession a very broad one, I have never seen a new woman who failed to keep her husband fascinated If she were ried. If she were a bach- elor girl she had more suitors than she could refuse comfortably each year. I know the term new woman is unpopu- lar with the men, but the new woman her- self is very popular with them. She Is the “nice little-girl” whom all men like.

HE automobile girl is the new girl of the season. Edch summer brings its novelty—the tennis, golf or mountain maid—but none more catching than the prettily gowned creature who, in bright attire, sits aloft above a whirring dynamo and guides the destinies of the new steed, which, though less than a year old, is driving the poor old horse, once cherished, from the field. It is simple enough to n automobile girl, say vou, if the ve > is provided.

The Countess wore a gown of deep scarlet, with a scarlet hat trimmed with & s supplying that touch of ebony kes a Paris cos- tume so chic. v carri and tin foot through the out accldent, Cour Next we heard of the automobile red, that dark, rich red which seemed at- tached to the automobile in some subtle way. Then came the automobile hat, a turn-back affair, and soon there were au- tomobile gloves of white, with black itching. From all this beauty came h the automobile girl. But she did not long remain a French woman. She appeared in this country, twice as chic, thrice as capable and tour times the sportswoman. You: sow her mornings near Central Park, gulding her vehicle =il alone and dodging the nurse maids and escaping the baby carriages in a marvelous way. Afternoons you met her, not alone this time, but with her load of summer men, on her way out to Grant’s tomb, to come back in the even- ing laden with dew and honors. Ah! the automobile girl began to be very winsome —more so than the coaching girl or the equestrienne. And what had she to learn, this auto- mobile girl? She mastered the trick of the levers in a short time, and learned how to put on the brakes and how to “back” and come forward at short notice. But there was more. She had to learn to take a vehicle with the manne of a kangaroo and make a polite cdrriage out of it—a lady's carriage. When on the level the automobile girt had it e With a touch upon the lever, which she was always inclined to call her handle bars, she made the connection ed away] Here she made her best speed, but as soon as the country grew rough then came the test of sportswom- anskhip. Going up hill the automobile must be coaxed like a team. It must be driven slowly. with only half speed on, and the smoot places in the road must be se- lected. If too much pressure is put upon it there will be a quick, vicious snap and the automobile will be disabled and must be abandoned for repairs. A good driver will Tun a vehicle for seasons without a break, as a good bicyclist will ride sum- mer after summer without repairs. A poor rider breaks his wheel in a day; an capable automobilist must call upon the horse at an early date. In going down hill the automobile girl must show wisdom. It is only recently that W. K. Vanderbilt Jr., at Newport, certurned his vehicle going down hiil. le this Is not easy to do—the young for millionaire was riding backward, j N e = THE AUTOMOBILE GIRL. sport—there is nevertheless a chance for an accldent. Both brakes must be mas- tered, and the automobile must be nicely checked all the way. A great discussion is now golng on.in France over the relative qualities of sportsmanship between a coach and an automobile. Which requires the most skill and consequently the best outdoor work? There are adherents of both kinds of sport, but the majority are automobil- ists. Even so simple a thing as the filling of the reservoir in a petrolenm machine takes experience. The rider must learn to gauge the amount in the can or he will be grievously imposed upon when he stops for a refilling. The automobile girl must understand her vehicle. If it breaks she must know what is broken and how serious Is the Aamage done. If she Is ignorant upon this subject she will be charged well by the repairer, who will put in a bill for time, naming many small matters that needed doing. If she can boldy state the trouble and ask for a certain repair, then she has the whole matter in her own hands. It all seems dense at first to the auto- mobilist, but she soon learns. The automobile girl can be a city girl, for the carrfages are driven on the thor- oughfares, Fifth avenue sees them every evening, even on the ‘hottest nights. There are more than twenty of the vehicles in New York owned by well-known women. And there are dozens of them to hire. Not the least appreciative of the auto- mobile girl 1s the man who sits looking on. He is being driven, and it rests him, and he does not feel every minute that he ought to take the ribbons. The automobile girl need not be the child of wealth, for she can hire cheaply. And they tell us that in another year the new horseiess carriage will be within the reach of all who stand a chance of owning any pleasure vehicle, and then we shall, indeed, have the automobile girl among us. “ Ty#e @ It Takes Talent and Practice to Become a Good Automobilist, for the Levers Must Be Well Controlied, and the Driver Must Understand When to Put on Full Speed and When to Use the Brakes so as Not to Injure the Run- ning Gear of Her Vehicle, Which, Though Very Oblig- ing, Is Very Easily Thrown Out of Order. " DoNT BE MANNISH DONT SMOKE 2 wedding tour. The old-fashioned woman would have taken to screams and sal vola- tile, but the new woman got along without either. Partly because she finds the pursuit fas- cinating and partly because she is criti- cized past endurance, the new woman sometimes takes a step too far and be- comes too new. In the summer she will slip away to the races and put down a lit- tle bet of her own, looking and acting a trifie out of the conventional. In the evening she may join a too gay party, one of the sort that never has a chap- eron At other times she may affect the man- nish suit, and, when at home with a friend, she may, just to be sociable, smoke a cigarette. These are the indiscretions of the new worman, but, after all, are they as bad as the indiscretfon of thé old woman? The old woman flirts desperately behind her paint and powder, while she crticizes the mannish new woman; but the mannish new woman knows that she is at heart twice as honest as the married flirt who screens_her smiles behind the fan.
