Married Life the Third Year

BY MABEL HERBERT URNER. Dear Helen: Could you do a little shopping for me! I know it is hard to hop for other people, and that Is why I try not to come to you often. But Mrs. Dawson has so much work this spring that she cannot make me anything until July, and you know there is no one else out here. What I want most is some kind of a good white dress. AH last summer I wore skirts and waists with my black silk skirt for best, but I thought this summer, I would like at least one good white dress. I Intend to have your cousin Molly come and help me to do some sewing this spring, but since George's little girl is so sick, she had to stay with them. And with this rheumatism in my hand I can do very little sewing myself nothing good. Now about the dress it seems to me some kind of a plain white mull of India linen with a few tucks on a very little lace. Not much lace, you know I don't like things very fussy or much trimmed. Something simple and well made with a good full skirt, long sleeveB and high neck. Size 38 bust, but if they ran small perhaps you had better get 40 that would allow for shrinking. Mrs. Parish got a very pretty one last year at Chicago, but it had elbow sleeves aud round neck and that wouldn't look well for a woman of my age. (Helen smiled as she read this, and thought of the women much older thru her mother who wore elbow sleeves, low neck and peek-a-boo waists.) 1 thought you ought to get something fairly good for 520. As I wrote you, e are papering the dining and sittir.'g room this spring and putting down a new floor on the side porch, so I den t think I would care to pay more than ttiar. I have seen a number of vpiy pretty white dresses advertised by some mail order houses for $12 to $15. I am enclosing a clipping of one. Of course this would be much too fancy for me, but I judge from this that you should be able to get a very good plain one for about $20. I looked at Strauss's and the Trade Palace here, but you know they never have anything. They wanted to make me order something, but I tried that two years ago. I let them order that grey suit, and you know what it was like. And now, Helen, if it isn't asking too much, I should like to have you get me some kind of a hat or a bonnet also. Just something small and close fitting, that I can wear a veil with. And it should be light you know I can never wear anything heavy it gives me the headache. Either all black or with a touch of white or lavender. However, I will leave that to you. You remember the one I got in Chicago about five years ago black lace straw with a bunch of violets and black velvet ties? Father always liked that so much, thought it looked better on me than anything I ever had. Rut I suppose they're not wearing those now. Anything you select I am sure will please me. But I think you ought to get the hat for about $5 or I am enclosing a money order for $30, in case you should have to pay a few dollars more for either the dress or hat. If you should have any left you might get me a pair of black kid gloves, size 634. I like the soft, thin kid, not the stiff, heavy kind. Now do not worry over this shopping. You know I am not hard to please and will be satisfied with anything you send. I am writing this in the dining room by the open window, and the whole place is filled with the odor of hyacinths. How I wish I could semi you some! That bed by the back porch has never done so well. The tulips are all in bloom and the big lilac fash by the cistern is just coming out. The garden is looking fine. Your father says things are a little late this year, but it seems to me nrey are all doing well. Am sending you a recipe I cut out the other day for lemon jelly cake. T made seme last week and it was delirious, and as it was so easy to make, would like you to try it. It calls for almond flavoring, but if you don't happen to have any, vanilla will do as well that, is what I used. Now Helen do write me a long letter. Your letters have been so short since Warren returned. I know you are busy, but I do so love to hear from you, and know what you are doing. You said you thought things would be very much better now since Warren's trip was so successful and his business had improved. I do hope this is so. You have said nothing about coming home for a visit this summer. Don't you think you could plan to come at ieast for a week or two? Perhaps Warren could come out after you. If you could come during the fruit season we could put up a lot of fruit for you to tak- back. Father says there is going to be an unusually good peach crop tli's year. Well. I must close. Am afraid this is a long tiresome letter. With much love, Your Mother. P. S. Be sure and get a full skirt, as you know I don't look well with anything stretched over my hps. Can't wear those narrow skirts. Think I would like a pleated skirt, for that would be nice and wide around the bottom. HELEN IS IN DOUBT. Helen read this letter with a mingled feeling of tenderness, amusement and dismay. How little her mother Knew of New York styles and New York prices'. Abovo everything else Helen dreaded to shop for other people even for her mother. Always she felt the re-

WHEN A GIRL

When a girl is engaged oh, red stars and green! And stars of gold and blue! What is the world? Just a small round globe just big enough to hold her small and blissful body so large has her heart grown under the calico or satin of her gown! Up on the world she crouches exulting seeing to the highest places where the sponsibility, the fear she was not getting the right thing. And always the people of a small town have such a mistakeif idea of the cost of things in New York. They invariably think you can get anything you want and get miraculously cheap just because it is a great city. And Helen knew from previous efforts b,ow hard it was to get her mother anything, for New York styles are not adapted to quiet, conservative old ladles. She smiled as she looked at the advertisement her mother had clipped evidently from some home or fashion magazine. "! ! This $25 Dress for $15. ! !" Style 8104 Dainty serviceable, imported all-over white embroidery. Set in sleeves. Novel side rever and stylish fluted frill. Graceful skirt finish ed with pearl buttons and box pleated back panel. Size 32 to 42 bust. The Columbia Mail order Co., P. O. Box 829, New York City. Helen looked at the picture of the physiologically impossible, slim, slen-der-waisted, no-hipped young woman, and wondered how her dear, stout mother would look in a dress like that. Of course, her mother sad said she did not wish anything so fancy and that she wanted high neck and long sleeves But she had reasoned if she could get this elaborate trimmed dress with all its embroidery and lace for $15 she ought to get a very good plain one for $20. But just here her reasoning was wrong. For in New York it is simplicity that you must pay for. You can get a dress trimmed with yards and yards of lace insertion, for half of what you will have to pay for a plain one. The cheaper the garment the fancier it is. And to get anything with long sleeves and high neck in a white summer dress Helen felt the utter impossibility of that. And the bonnet

blue sky ends and the walls of Paradise rise seeing to the profoundest depths where the spaces end again and fairyland lifts its crystal and sapphire spires. And up she holds her thrilling little third finger for all the world to see. And under the glitter of her diamond the stars pale and wink, and at last shut their lamp-like eyes! "What the little modest, close-fitting bonnet! She knew how hard that would be to find in New York where the women of seventy wear huge hats with nodding plumes. However, she must try. It was tfrue that her mother reraly asked her to do any shopping, and now she must do the best that she could. CONSCIENCE STRICKEN. And Helen felt conscience stricken that she had written her so little lately. She remembered how when Warren was awray she had been so anxious and unhappy she had written her mother almost every day. It had helped then to have some one to hold to, but now since she needed her less sh-2 had written short, hurried notes. And now with an impulsive desire to make amends she sat down at once and wrote her mother a long letter telling her many things about the house, about Winifred, about her own spring clothes, and about their day in the country with the Baldwins last Sunday. Helen knew her mother loved to hear of all the little details of her life and she felt that she had been very selfish in not writing. About the dress and hat she wrote guardedly said she would start out as soon as she could tomorrow morning and see what she could find. But after she had mailed the letter she kept on thinking of her mother her generous, self-sacrificing mother whose life in that small Western ALLEN'S FOOT-EASE The Antiseptic powder shaken into the shoes The Standard Remedy lor the 1 eel for a quarter centurv. 30,000 testimonials.

town was after all very narrow, and there was in it little of change or pleasure. Helen resolved that even though the hat and the dress cost much more than $30, even though she must pay for plainness much in excess of that, still she would pay it herself and say nothing, rather than have her mother disappointed in her very modest and natural desire for "one good white dress," and "a little close fitting bon-nett."

Health and Beauty Answers By Mrs. Mae Martyn

Guinivere: Yes, you can overcome the results of the careless treatment of your hair which has commenced to destroy its natural beauty and cause it to grow dull, "stingy," brittle and fall out. I would just shampoo occasionally by using a teaspoonful canthrcx dissolved in a cup hot water. This greatly invigorates the scalp tissues and hair roots and produces a healthy condition in both, insuring a beautiful growth of even-colored, lustrous, fluffy hair. I have found canthrox shampoo is extremely soothing to tender, itchy scalps and allows the hair to dry very Quickly. A. L.: The dclatone treatment for hairy growths is quite harmless and rarely is more than one application required. Mix a little powdered delatone with water and apply to the objectionable hairs, then after two or three minutes rub it off, and the hairs come with it. Washing the skin leaves it firm and free from blemish. Darling: Yes, it is true that fat always destroys the beautiful lines of the figure, but if you do as I have before advised in these columns, you can get rid of the fat and your form will be plump and beautifully proportioned. In one and one-half pints hot water dissolve four ounces parnotis. Let this cool, then take one tablespoonfui before each meal. This treatment produces no present or future ill effects and gradually dissolves the unnecessary fatty tissues. Try this parnotis treatment and you will never have any reason to feel embarrassed because of your shape. Pearl: You girls were right when you decided that face powder clogs the pores, even though much is blown off the skin and leaves a spotted effect. You can avoid this annoyance and enjoy a softer, healthier, finer complexion if you apply a spurmax lotion. This is quite inexpensive and is prepared by dissolving four ounces spurmax in one-half pint witch hazel or hot water, to which is added two teaspoon fills glycerine. The spurmax lotion is invisible when on and requires no further attention. You will find it especially nice to banish summer's freckles and tan and the sallow, unhealthy cast of powder-smothered 6kin and to give a delightful freshness and youth-tint to your skin. Johanna: Yes, you have a good reason to feel alarmed about your hair. But you can remove the danMURRAY This Week Matinee Thursday. jO an d3

and Comment

portrays a beautiful story and partially solves the great Question of aex hygiene a subject that is foremost In the minds of the untrerae today. Kvery father and mother should witness this play and profit by its teach ings. At the weekly meeting of the Chicago Medical society recently, ' it was the topic of argument. Four eminent physicians declared it should be taught in the schools, but Dr. J. W. Melody, D. D., Professor of Moral Phylosophy of the Catholic University of Washington, D. C. declared the home was the place and that is just what the "Blindness of Virtue" presents. druff and overcome that dryness without paying a large sum to a hair specialist. Just make up and use the quinzoin hair tonic I frequently advise and it will put the scalp in a healthy condition and your hair will grow in thick and beautiful. Here is the recipe: Into one-half pint alcohol pour one ounce quinzoin, then to this add one-half pint water. This gives you a full pint of the finest hair tonic, and I know its use will Insure a clean, healthy scalp and a wealth of brilliant, fluffy hair. Lucy: You want to brighten and strengthen your eyes and can easily do so by using this plain crystos eye tonic in which I have great faith because of the good it has done in so many instances, and 1 am sure if you put two or three drops of it in your sore, aching eye at frequent intervals for a time, the inflammation will disappear. To prepare this inexpensive tonic, dissolve one ounce crystos in a pint of clear water. To dull. HfeW eyes it will tend a youthful sparkle and fascinating expression. Olire: Yes. I know a sure cure for wrinkles which can be cheaply mad at home. I mix one ounce almozoin with one-half pint cold water and two teaspoonfuls of glycerine. Stir and let stand for one day. To remove or prevent wrinkles, apply this vegetable cream-jelly thickly and massage thoroughly. At night leave the face covered with the cream. You will find nothing to equal almozoin jelly-cream to remove wrinkles and keep them away, and it contains no oil or fat which might promote hair growth. You will also notice by its use not only your wrinkles disappearing, but the large pores of the entire face ge'ting much smaller and the skin very soft and velvety. Dora: For your pimples and tiredness I am giving the formula for th beat blood cleanser I know. It is th best because it acts on the liver and kidneys and if. as you say, you are troubled with severe and constant headaches, it is an indication that your kidneys and blood need attention. To prepare, put one ounce kardene into one-half pint alcohol I whisky should not be used), then add on--half cupful sugar and hot water to make a full quart. A tablespoonfui before meals is the dose. This kardene tonic gently expels poisonous waste from the body and tones up" th internal organs so they can do their work well. Read Mrs. Martyn's book, "Beauty." $5. -Adv.
