Really, truly, bashfulness does not mean diffidence, quietness or even shy- ness, but that all-enveloping some- thing that settles down like a gentle cloud and bereaves one of evegy power save that of blushing frantically and furiously time and time again. Perhaps this affliction is helped on its way not a little by the delightful- ly frank fashion which so-called polite society has of scrutinizing everybody and everything that chances its way. Many times if lorgnettes were leveled the effect could not be more startling ner more insolent, and it takes a wom- an possessed with a goodly share of- worldly wisdom to present that I- don’t-know-you're-looking expression and go serenely and evenly upon her way. Just why people imagine they are entitled to stare at others as though they were little short of curiosities is quite heyond me. Yet every day—in fact if one will but take the trouble to notice in every car—there is that close, neighborly scrutiny which makes one fairly bristle with indigna- tion. Not so very long ago I chanced to meet a girl of sixteen or there- about, flying along the street with flaming cheeks and angry, suspiclous eyes. “Where are you going in such a tre- mendous rush?” I asked her, as she swept along. “Home, where people don’t think I'm a walking advertise- ment for a geld mine,” she answered in a quivering voice. “I'm so embar- rassed I can’t see straight.” And the cause of her woes was noth- ing more or less than a few gold bands. In other words, she was having her teeth straightened and was being tor- tured both mentally and physically by the protruding glitter that refused to permit her to close her mouth in peace. VAT COOMEN - L5 AMADCE- MOV s = CANT-TO-ANOLY as the bashful girl. When he finds that life is somewhat of a burden to him on account of his general awk- wardness and his ability to say and do the wrong thing at the wrong time, he crawls into his shell, as it were, and takes refuge in silence. His move- ments are abrupt, his voice harsh and his conversation short and sharp. To be sure, he is rather a forbidding sort of creature, for only those who know him well understand that this gruff- ness is merely a bluff put up to hide a shyness that he is positively ashamed and afraid of. But this self-same abrupt mannerism that covers such a multitude of sins has, unfortunately, been denled the timid girl. These days there are too many -jolly comrades, always amiable and ready for fun, to make it an ob- Ject to put up with the girl who is snappy, surly and cross, and even the one who is digtressingly quiet comes in for her share of playing the animated ‘wall-flower. And really, after all, it is only what one might expect. People rescue a pretty girl once, twice, or maybe, three times, but if she jersists in losing her- self in the dark shadows and taking mo part in the gayety, she will soon discover to her sorrow tnat she may remain there just as long as she pleases, and entirely forgotten and ng- glected in the bargain. Bach and every one should be pos- sessed with a certain amount of self- assertion. This does not necessarily ~mean that one should push one’s self miles of her. She does not stammer or wiggle, her hands and feet are not posgessed with an insane desire ‘o make themselves prominent and she doesn’'t eye every cormer in a shifty fashion, as though she were debating how many strides would take her to it and freedom. - No. That is not the well-bred woman. Her mind is not on her own behavior, but upon her hostess and her interests, and for this simple reason she is de- lightfully natural and charming. If the bashful girl thinks she is awk- ward—lo and behold, she is, and with a vengeance, too. But, on the other hand, if she §ills her mind with the pleasures at hand, she straightway loses her afflicting self-consciousness and s simply herself. PR RT Y Answers to Corres_pondents R. F. (Warts).—I am always afraid to try a lot of things and if I were you I should have the warts removed by electricity. If you cannot afford this get this mixture: Chrysorobin .. ve...20 grains Colledion ..1% dsachms Apply with a camel's hair brush every day or two to the wart. ELSIE W. (Hands).—There {sn’t any good cause for your hands being rough that I can see, unless you are careless in drying them. Perhaps you give them a good washing and promise to dry them better next time. That never does especially well. Keep a botthh filled with the following and every time you put them in water rub a lttle in: Rose water ....... .8 ounces Pulverized berax . .1 ounce Glycerine .1 ounceé Tincture of benzol &rachm IDA F. (Removing Hair).—No, I do not advise you to use any drug ad- vertised and for the simple reason that I do not know anything of them one way or the other. As I told you before, there is hothing that will remove halr permanently but the electric needls, and then only a good specialist should try it ~-The medicine I told you of is harm- léss and will remove it for the time being and I should not be afrald te use it on my face. In fact, I know any number of people who use it all the time and with good results. If you want the name and address of a doe- tor who understands removing halr with the needle I will be glad to give it to you, but understand in the be- ginning it is expensive and somewhat tedlous. TO REMOVE WARTS (Schéolgirl) Warts, like freckley, are largely the concomitant of youth and usually van- ish with advancing years. You can, readily remove the warts on your hands without cutting and without making the hands sore. Do not pick or in any other way cause such ex- crescences to bleed, for this will in- crease the disfigurement and will neither retard the growth nor hasten the removal of the wart. An excel- lent solution which will remove the warts is made by putting a lump of common washing soda the size of a walnut in a two-ounce bottle filled with cold soft water. Cork the bot- tle carefully and do not fail to label it. When the sqda is dissolved moisten the warts thoroughly several times each day with the solution and they will gradually disappear. If the tops of the warts are very hard file off the calloused skin with a nail file. This will allow the soda solution to penetrate more readily and hasten the removal of the wart. Warts of but a few weeks' growth will vanish com- pletely after a few applications of the soda solution. Should the surround- ing skin become sensitive bathe with a little sweet oil or cold cream. By exercising a little care, touching only the warts and keeping the skin soft, not even a tiny scar will remain after the treatment recommended. — There Is Always a Way There is always a way if you want to do right— There is always a way if you try with your mighte h temptations have led you, experience told for sin the transgressor is punished ten-fold; That As a vessel is palsied when And its proud form relentlessly cast on the shoal, ‘When Disabled it rests, though it The hand of the builder the tides have receded and evil is wrought, — mad billows roll gallantly fought—
