To Whiten Skin | with Lemon;: The only harmtless way to bleach the skin white is to mix the juice of two lemons with three ounces of Orchard White, which any druggist will supply for a few cents. Shake well in a bot- / / iiil t^e ’ anc * you have a whole quarter-pint of the wonderful skin whitener, softener and beautifter. Massage this sweetly fragrant lemon bleach into the face, neck, arms and hands. It can not irritate. Famous stage beauties use it to bring that clear, youthful skin and rosy-white complexion; also as a freckle, sunburn and tan bleach. You must mix .this remarkable lotion yourself. It can not be bought ready to use because it acts best immediately after ft is prepared.— Advertisement.

rangues about the "bob” when he was the first to iritroduce it. We must remember all men used to wear their hair long and history tells us the fops of a by gone century took a great deal of pains arranging their tresses. Our own revered George Washington went about with his hair tied up . n ribbon. • Man, therefore, originate i the heinous custom of cutting off tha hair. First he affected the Samson style of coiffure, next he assumed ringlets; he followed tl ese up with the Egyptian cut when his locks were trimmed to the shoulder, and from then on he' cut off more and more until he finally attained the penitentiary shingle. In fact, men first set usf the ex ample of discarding all their inconuncomfortable clothes and customs. They, too, once wore long skirts and corsets, but _the-y took them off; they affected high, stiff stocks about their necks and long lace in their sleeves, and (lie- I carded them; they tripped about in j bigjh heels, but became weary of those also. They 1. ,e rid themselves of all confining and hampering apparel and have at last attained a maximum of. physical ease. Only recently have j they eschewed stiff collars- and their underwear is a marvel of comfort; their shirts are soft and easy to get j into, and their trousers are ugly, but pleasant to wear; their shoes are flat and large and their belts never too tight. Yet. they still speak of us as the inconsistent sex.

CIVIC CLUBS AID IH SHE FIGHT Briefs Attack Demurrer Filed \ >■ in "City Court, The city legal department and the Federation of Community Civic Clubs will answer a demurrer filed in city court by the Rub-Tex pany attacking the validity of the city smoke ordinance. The civic clubs have a brief ready when the case comes up July 8. H. F. Templeton, assistant chief smoke inspector, said similar Tases in Ohio had uphold the city's right to late smoke.

Marquise? I was so glad to get back and find that mother Prescott had not found your secret drawer, that is so full of my confidences now instead of yours. The last day of my stay in New York was rather unhappy. Alice acted like a petulant child. It fteepis that when I elected to stay j at home and not go with the family to the opera on the evening before my departure, Karl was much *lisappointed. He seemed to think that*as it was our last evening in New York I should not stay away froth his party, which I found out afterward he had planned on a magnificent scale, beginning wjth a box at the Metropolitan Opera House, and ending with a gorgeous supper and dancing at the Little Club. “He acted as though you were the guest of honor. Les,” Alice said. “Well, wasitt she?", asked mother quietly, who Vas standing by. “I cannot understand you, Alice. You know you cannot always be the Center of attraction. I have felt often since we have been staying here in New York that had 1 been Karl I would have boxed your oars.” Alice looked at mother disgustedly and flounced out of the room. “I am afraid we left Alice too long jn England alone, Leslie. Karl has evidently spoiled her. She expects h,m to be at her beck and call every minute. “I have foun j that she is put out Karl is even filially devoted to me. night at the opera she wore a new string of pearls. I<j|r[ put them on her just before we left. It \\as a magnificent gift an! any other girl would have been w;ls with delight, but what do you think she said? “She turned from the mirror where she had been looking at them atoimd her throat and exclaimed, with a disappointed frown. "I don't think they are as pretty as I^slie's', ' ‘What do you mean?' I asked. You know Iveslie'a necklace is only a string of imitation beads. You give it to her youk^clf.' “She didn’t deign to answer but ! took Karl's arm and to I th* motor.” Oh, little Marquise, I wish 1. Tiadn't | promised Karl not to tell. If I had r.of l would then and there have told mother the whole story. I am going to put those pearls in the little secret drawer here and keep them out of my sight for a lortg time. It' is a strange thing that while I have been perfectly innocent in this nfatter those ill-fated gems have made me unhappy ever since my marriage, and now because I fooliShly told Karl I would keep them I can't even tell Jack about them. As Ruth says. Jack might, forgive me the pearls because he would realize that at first I did-mot know they were real, but he would never forgive me for letting Karl pay sls,tfoo to keep the string intact. As it is, I have just got to sit tight and hope for the best. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.) NEXT: Letter from Leslie Prescott to Leslie Prescott, care of the secret drawer, continued.

Grown Folk Can Learn to Play ‘Make-Believe’
“Make-believe,” favorite game of little girls, sometimes can be used to advantage by grown-ups. The self-conscious individual, hte*Vho blushes every time he is introduced to a stranger, never knoAvs what to say to “make conversation” and always feels awkward in a crowd, might resort to “make-
believing.” A Sense of Humor He must, of course, have a good imagination, and armed with these, he can walk into any crowd, “makebelieve” he is >ioted for his wit, or that his personality really is as magnetic as he wishes it were, and soon find himself acting 4he part of this “make-believe” sell and forgetting his old shy self. The why of it is easy to understand. The person who is ill at i ease is the one who thinks too much ' about himself. He loses his selfconsciousness when he thinks abouk others, or even about himself in ;®| new role. Self-Conscious Dear Miss Lee: I am a young fellow 20 I years old. I am considered very good- i looking, but am rather backward. I sup- i pose, for I always feci uneormfortabie i when in a crowd. I should like for you to j tell me how I mayi overcome this. 2. Where can I purchase a book of etiquette? . '3. Until a few months ago, I never cared for the company of girls, although I have many girl friends Then came my dream girl. She works in a drug'store ( and is very popular Although she smiles i at me. my backwardness makes me un- ! able to start and keep up a conversation i with her. I should like to have a date, but am afraid to ask her. 1. Other people are not thinking about you as much as you imagine they are,, so stop thinking about yourself so much. If you hsrve the kind of imagination 1 have described, use it. Be interested in other people. Start talking about things in which you know they are interested, then sit and listen attentively, if you doubt your ability to carry the brunt of conversation. A good listener always is popular. 2. At any book store. 3. I don't know how much good “make-believe” would do you here, because love, be it real or imaginary, will make the most facile talker tongue-tied. But try it; the results may surprise you. '^eventeen's 1 Sorrows Dar'Miss Lee: 1. We are two hurh school girls. I. Tommy* am 17 and have been going with a fellow for about a year and a half. I accepted a date with another fellow, who was bis enemy. I did, not know this. I Invited my steady 'fellow to a class party. He did not come, but went to another party. How should I treat him' He tries to be friendly to me. 2. My friend. Bobbie, has been going with a fellow about the same length of 1 time. They were very good friends until one night when she refused him a date. He. to spite her. went off with another girl, who was not very well thought of. She is not Jealous, but he came back and asked her to forgive him and forget and go back with l*im. She would like to know what she must do. TOMMY AND BOBBIE 1.

boy once more, but let him understand that he cannot monopolize you. 2. Bobbie’s friend evidently really is penitent, I’d suggest that she forgive, but "punish” him by refusing to have “dates” for a little bit longer. You girls are foolish to throw away your freedom by “going steady” with any boys. Cordiality Gone Dear Miss Lee:’ I am a girl 18 years old. a high school graduate and a piano teacher. I have been keeping company with a gentleman a few years my senior. I have learned to care a great deal for him. When we are together his thoughts are entirely of me. We both belong to a society which has been practicing for an entertainment. He completely ignores me at these practices. To have him change so suddenly is breaking my heart., It used to be that every little thing gave him an opporunit.v to seek my company. But now we each go alone, with the exception of Sunday nights, when we both thoroughly enjoy ourselves. \ must se him more than one night a week. How may this be possible? R. L. T. % It seems protoble to me that you | are wearing woijr heart on your sleeve, and that this young man is ! trying to show you that he enjoys your friendship, but is not in love with you. Go easy, R. L. T. Don’t stand and watch him with agonized eyes when he fails to seek you out in a crowd. Instead, enjoy yourself with the others, ignoring him as he ignores you. ‘Love 1 Unappreciated Dear Miss Martha Lee: I am ' girl 17 years. I was going with a fello' I liked very much, but I did not realize how much until I had turned him down. I know- he loves me. I have quit him several times, but made up. He came out to my house and I was with another fellow. I-know I , wi*} have a hard time getting him back. Please tell me how I can win him back and show him that I still love him. BLUE-EYED BILLY. Better save your “love,” Billy. You'll be wanting it in a few years. There is no reason why you should not have been with another boy friend. Smile on the one whose favor you seek to regain, but don't let your smiles be for him alone. Puzzling Manners Dear Miss Lee: I am a girl of 14 I j like a boy of 15 very much. He lives j across the street from me. At times he 1 will speak to me every time he passes, j while at other times he will not so much ! as look at me. I know he likes me. Why j is he so queer? A SHINGLE 808. Gracious, child, I don't know. ! Quit# probably he Is interested in I something else at the moment and | does not see you. That would be | natural, not queer, for a boy of 15. A. B.: You are only 17, certainly too young to give up other boy friends for this one. Tell him that, and let him choose between being one of your friends, or not a friend at all.
