I. went out visiting in the country, and when I came home I was all covered with- freckles. Everybody teased me; so wjll you please tell me the surest and quickest I way to get rid of the horrid things. ; Tell me as soon as possible. NELLIE, Denver. Poor, litMe girl, what a dreadful plight you are in! Such worrying over a few brown specks that will disappear after a few days spent in the school room. Freckles and sunburn are always al-ways the result of the summer vacations, vaca-tions, dear; so don't feel badly. But I remember re-member well how I used to worry-about worry-about the shape of my nose when a little girl. My friends usied to tease me about my "pug' nose; so for many months I wore a clothes pin on the end ; of my nose to the great discomfort of the nose and the great amusement of my friends. So remembering my childish distress. I will give y$u an inexpensive and safe remedy for freckles. Tou might try buttermilk for your freckles. Wash your face in buttermilk but-termilk at night and apply a compress dipied in buttermilk to the affected part. Li-t me know if this helps you. I ; might be able to advise something l?e, dear. Write often for advice; I will be glad to help you. Dear friend: I want to know if you can give me some cure for the small pox marks. They are very deep in the skin. 1 will be very thankful to you. ; BELLE, Salt Lake. Many of the finest physician claim v lhat it is better to leave the marks alone, and they may disappear. Others say that pure olive oil rubbed lightly into the skin will eventually clear the face. Try the oil, and write me alxmt results. Be sure the oil is the bent quality, and do not rub the face hard ; but with a light, firm touch. Dear Mips Vaieau: What advice can you give for wrinkles? GRACE: D. H., Salt Lake. After bathing with warm water and ; drying the face, rub it all over with r the ball of the thumb. This stimu- i lates the circulation and strengthens j the muscles. If there ere deep lines running from the corners of the mouth j to the corners of the nose lay the thumb ;' along them and work it from side to I side. I A Boy and His Clothes. 1 ) A boy cannot change his school clothes ? every time he wishes to indulge , in a j f game of leap frog, so a suit which shall 1 f be at the same time decorous enough f for the schoolroom and stout enough k for the playground is a desideratum I for the lad of from 6 to 16. I This suit Ehould be made of strong, I good cloth. Cheap, shoddy material is j like tow in the fire before the onslaught i of the boy. For all but the warmest weather a good cheviot is comfortable, j and resists his ravages as well as any- j thing. ! I Seams should be neatly and strongly , . finished at the ends and strong linen i I thread used in their manufacture. But- tons especially must receive plenty of f V thread, and those which have to bear I a strain should be sewed on over a j pin or a match, which should be re- I moved when the sewing is done. The I thread should then be wound around J the strands between the button and f the cloth until a structure is built I which is perfectly firm. Then the ! thread should be securely fastened on j the under side. A. strong double lin- ing or stay for the button should be I provided, or else at the iirst provoca- I tion the boy will demolish the cloth itself, and nothing will be left upon I which a new button may be estab- lishetl. On all ready made soiits the buttons should be carefully re-sewed before the boy is allowed to don the garments. Cloth-covered buttons are a delusion. At the best the cloth covering wears Shabby in a few weeks, and it is often difficult to match the buttons. Bone pnd gutta percha buttons are good f-nough for any common suit. Braid binding, even when it is alpaca, is to br avoided. It wears off early in conspicuous places and must be often lencwed Most mothers find the ready made suit, if purchased from reliable dealers, deal-ers, the most economical. Among most of these, even the best, a prevailing failing is a narrowness of the coat across the chest. The result of this is to make the boy stoop and injure his bn-athing power. It would be better to have the coat a trifle broad than too narrow. Indeed, in buying coats for growing boys, allowance must be made for much Tilling- out and strech-ing strech-ing up during a period of three or four mom lis. A common fault of ready made shirts, ) both cotton and woolen, is a neck too high at the back. No boy or man can carry himself properly when his neck Is thrust forward by an ill fitting shirt. If it be not possible to have such a garment made to order, be sure that anv constriction of the neck is relieved 'before the shirt is worn. As a rule, materials for boys clouting clout-ing containing blue stripes or checks fhould be avoided. Blue, except dark navy, usually fades and makes ev en a. good garment look shabby weeks before be-fore its race is legitimately run. Some browns are apt to turn rusty. .Plain black or anv plain color shows utains c.! all sorts more readily than mixed A surfaces. T m - |
