BEAUTY QUESTIONS ANSWERED

sluggish Pores and Oiliness

Dear Miss Iieeds-(l) My com- plexion is not good; it is very oily and I get whltehesds around my nose, I press out the pus and apply alcohol, but the next morning they are there again. I have begun to

use witch-hazel on them every night. _

What causes this condition? (2) What can I do to remove scars left by pimples? (s) Is it possible to re- movs freckles entirely from the face? Are strong bleaching lotions harmful? (4) I am 2i years old, 5 feet 2% inches tall and weigh 1l'l pounds. It seems that all my weight is in my legs. Is my weight correct HELEN S.

Answer-(l) I do not think that the white blemishes on your skin are really whiteheads or mills, which do not come to the surface unless prick- ed open and pressed. what Y0" have are enlarged pores that are clogged with their own sebaceous secretion, not pus. The pores are oil glands that have become sluggish and need cleansing and stimulating, fol- lowed by astringent applications. when washing your face at bedtime use tincture of green soap and work the lather into your skin.

Why Motherzhoodflls the Greatest Career aWomhn, Can Have-Shall This This Woman Neglect Her. Family for Her“Se|fish Motherfi-Cats and Dogs

Dear Miss Dix-Why do you say that the greatest thing a woman can do is to have children and bring them up? ‘rhat is something that almost every woman can do from the most ignorant to the most intelligent. Sifcéess- ful business women, writers and actresses get their reward on earth. but a mother gets no reward on earth or in heaven either, because no woman can live a Christian life and rear a houseful of children,

' IMISB CONTRARY.

Answe . ‘I say that the greatest thing a woman can do is'

to have children, and rear them to be fine men and

women, because that is the basic work of creation and

civilization. All the balance rests on that.

Stop the baby supply and humanity perishes.

Stop mothers from inculcating righteousness in little souls and guiding little feet in the straight road, and anarchy would prevuil, The mud that puck; the cradle not only rules the world it makes it,

I ask you, Miss Contrary, what other thing a. woman can do as great as having fine children? Can she do more for her country than by giving to it patriotic citizens who are ready to fight and defend it in times of war, and who, in times of peace, make it great and rich and prosperous by their labor and entemrise? Can any woman artist paint a picture as beautiful as a little child or a young girl? Can any woman write;- wyito o, book mo; h“ 1n it the inspiration that many a woman's children are to the world?

What women have done more service to the world than the mothe of George Washington, tho mother of Lincoln, the mother o1 Ben Fg-gnklm, the mother of Thomas Edison, and millions and million; or other mother-e whose names have nave.- been on the lips of fame, but whose gong and daughters have lifted" humanity from savagery to civilization, and brought culture, and knowledge, and healing, and light to the world?

You say that virtually every woman can-bear children and bring them up. That is true in away. Most women can have children, but to rear them properlyis the hardest work to which any woman ever sets her hand. It takes brains. and courage, and wisdom, and Judgment. Motherhood is no scab 10b. It deserves to be ranked among the learned professions, and any woman who make- good in it has earned her M. A. -

You soy that the successful business and professional women get their reward on earth, but that the mother gets no reward either here or here- after. Don‘t deluda yourself with that idea, Miss Contrary. No women in the world gets so richly repaid for their labors as do mothers. Every mother who feels a iii: ile downy head upon her breast gets the thrill that comes but once in a lifetime, and there is no glad band that any actress ever gets in her great moment that brings with it the rapture that comes with the clinging; of a baby's fingers to her own. ' Every mother dreams for her children a. future far more ambitious, far more brilliant than any she would ever dare hope for, for herself, and often and often she sees her hopes fulfilled. '

No woman ha: such a.~full life as a. mother has, because she lives as many lives as she has children. No woman has as many interests as a mother has, because every child is a. difierent problem that ‘she is trying to solve and each child B going his different way. and she isstanding behind ‘it trying to steer it into the way of success .

Mothers get no reward! Children-are a. total loss to mothers! Who would you rather be, a successful moving-picture actress, or Mrs. Lind- bergh? Who do you think gets the most rapture when a. book makes a hit, or the critics acclaim a. golden voice at the opera, or a house rises at an actor-the mother, or the writer, or the singer, or the actor?

Barrie relates how his own mother used to say of any man who did a great thing-"Fine, how I would have liked to have been his mother!" She knew who really savored success. . .

As for the reward mothers will get in heaven, why, I think all of the reserved seats are being saved for them, and that they will have as many stars in their crowns as they have reared up fine children.

,_ _____

As to your last contention, Miss Contrary that no woman can lead e Christian life and rear a houseful of children, millions of mothers have done it, millions of mothers are still doing it, and millions of, mothers, please God. will still be doing it to the end of time.

For it is out of these Christian homes that the men and women come who are the stay of civilization. DOROTHY DIX.

O O I

Dear Miss Dix-I am a. young married woman out working solely to sup- p01‘! n y mother. I have a home, but cannot-enjoy it because my mother needs my help, although one sister also helps take care of her. I cannot give my husbar-n the happy homo and children he longs for because I cannot afford to quit my job, which I could do if I did not have to support her.

My husband undI have an autom ‘" , and on Sundays we either go calling or riding, as that i: the only day we can be together, and we like to be alone on that day. My mother is furious with me, and accuses me of neglecting her because we don't come and take her with us, but this spoils our day, as my husband is bitter toward her on account of my having m go mt and work for her, and thus deprive him of whet he is lawfully entitled to.

How can I settiuthis problem? lime. B. A.

OIIIO

Answer:

You can't. The only one who could settle it is your mother, and she is not bigenough and unselfish en _,‘ to do it, because it would require her to sacrifice her ‘ t and pleasure for you. If she loved you enough to put your happiness before her own, she would realize that it is only natural that you and youruhusband would wish to be alone on the only day you can be togethe , and s would not insist upon going with you and making an un- desired third.

One might think that she would be willing to do this_ out of gratitude toward you, but it is curious how little appreciation so many parents have of what‘ their children do for them. ‘They: seem to think that it is no more than their children's duty to support them and to make them first in their lives, and so their demands never cease either upon their own children or those they marry. 0f course, it is children's duty in provide for their par- ents to the best of their ability, but on their part the parent might temper justice with mercy and make the burden as light as possible. They might, at least, remember that when their childrenman-y their husbands and wives neveapriorclaimcn tliantandnotinsiltupcnalwayeliving withtlum.

A Woman ’s To

Tribute Queen Mary

Mary MacLeod Moore, for so many years the widely read brilliant Lon- don correspondent of SATURDAY NIGHT, has written the following moving and beautiful sketch of Queen Mary in the London Sunday Times. We reproduce the article in part:

A Queen was once a Queen, a far-

oft great figure in a. pageant. some- one so high above the ordinary wo- man that she appeared like one un- touched by sorrows and ills which lesser women knows so well. A1- most it seemed as if a great Queen must be immune from hurt; as if she should tread a. smooth path and find the briars and stones taken away; as if Life spoke unto her none but fair things. Only a child thinks this now. Men and women know better. So to-day the hearts of millions of women are not with the Queen as a Queen, a stately figure in gorgeous robes and jewels. Those hearts are beating ln sympathy with a. woman in anxiety; for the devoted loving wife who has suffered days and nights of strain and known the pain of hope deferred. Through the years of her life, as maid, wife and mother, Queen Mary has been winning the respect and ad- miration o! the country by her good- ness, her dignity, her sound judg- ment, and her practical kindness. In this trouble the country has given to its Queen in headed-up measure the love and appreciation she has won. It offers her, now, tenderness and a. shared hope, now the people themselves realised all that the Queen has grown to mean to them until first the war, and then the years of reconstruction, when she shared the difficulties and faced the altered conditions, taught them that the Queen was pro-eminently a wo- man who, although royal and walk- ing necessarily apart, understood the life of the people as few queens have done in the past.

WOMANHOOD AT ITS BEST .

Queen Mary's story is the story of a woman born and bred in the Eng- land she loves so deeply. From her birth to the present time she has been part of the life of the country, and. to millions she typifies English anhood at its best.

your position. It is not likely that grow very selfish and self-centered. U l .7

Dear Miss Dix-Are men as catty Answer: No.

The life of the Queen is an open book. All know the story of the beloved Princess Mary of Cambridge. who married the Duke of Teck and became the mother of our Queen. To this day older people talk ,wlth en- thusiasm of the great-hearted. im- pulsive Princess who bequeathed to her daughter that interest in human- ity, that sense of duty to others which have drawn her to study the lives or the people and to understahd the conditions under which they live.

The Queenpas is well known, was born at midnight on May 2'1, i867, at Kensington Palace, and enjoyed a happy childhood and girlhood with s. devoted father and mother and three brothers. Her engagement to Prince George took place in May, 1893. and ,in July of that year she was married. 50f this ideal married life and family life much has been wirtten, but the inner life‘ which inspired and glofi- fled is sacred. Only the fruits are seen.

The great qualities of the Queen have had full scope during the period of her married life, and more espec- ially since the King came to the throne, and she has shared his re- sponsibilities and cares. One reads much of Queen Mary's thoroughness, in culture, of her knowledge of art and of old furniture, her care of the treasures in the royal palaces: but when these things are half-forgotten people will talk of and hand down to their children the story of her deep interest in her poorer subjects, her practical suggestion for their com.- fort, her eagerness to help them, her courage. and perhaps more than all else her magnificent work during the war, when she shared with millions of women the anxletlesand fears of these" terrible years. She knew her- self the feelings or the mothers with sons at the front, and she bore in her heart the griefs of the forlorn and bereaved. The war set a. seal upon the link between the royal family and the nation. None will forget that the Queen worked early and late for the sick and wounded, and'for those who suffered it; other 'ways through the war.

A LITTLE SATURDAY TALK

It is late at night as I writa this talk, and soon 1 shall be going to sleep. When we think of it, sleep is a. wondrous thing. We go to bed tired at night and-if we sleep well-we awake rested and ready for a new day.

What is it which makes‘ us go to sleep? Scientists have puzzled over the question for a. long time, but even now they are not sure. Some of them think that it is caused by less blood flowing to the brain. During sleep we have good reason to say that the blood supply is lessened; but that may be the result of sleep instead of the cause.

While we are asleep our hearts do not beat so rapidly-there are from l0 to 20 fewer beats per minute. Our breathing is also slowed up-on the average, about four breaths less per minute. _

Sleep grows very deep an hnur after it starts, then it slowly grows less deep. Once more it grows very deep-about four and a. half hours after the start. These statements are made by German scientists who have

T UNCLE RA rs cozezvccf =

tested hundreds of sleepers. One way .

of testing, is to see how far sleepers K move their arms or heads when , touched at different points during f sleep. » -

Doctors are able to put people to ‘A

sleep by using ether or ethylene. ‘ Ether is a liquid which has long been the chief means of saving patients = from pain during operations, Ethylenep gas is becoming widely used in hus- pitals; for many kinds of operations, it is better than ether.

There is a "trick" of putting per-u . sons to sleep by asking them i0 take ' a deep breath and then holding them in a. certain way. Boys who do not ' know better sometimes try this trick. It is very dangerous. The reason the person loses consciousness is that tho flow o! blood to the heart is stopped. The result may be the bursting of a

blood vessel, or the stopping of the. H

heart altogether. one who thinks that is a good trick, warn him of the dangers.

forts; she visited. hospitals and brought brightness to the patients, she organised, she inspired others. To her the Central Committee on Women's employment owed a. vast deal. She used the Queen Mary's Needlework Guild to concentrate the sewing and knitting of the women of the Empire; she became Commander in Chief of the w. s. A. Cs, and- when the opportunity arose for her to visit France during the war she went out eagerly to see and to praise the work of the men and women at the hospitals, at the base, of the mo- tor-drivers -and cooks, indeed, of all who were helping the men at the front.

When war ended and men return- ed, weli or ill, the Queen welcomed them home. She devoted hours to visiting hospitals, and put fresh life into the badly injured. Although her heart was torn by the sufferings she witnessed, she never allowed her own feelingsto interfere with her de- votion and sympathy for those who had paid c. terrible price forsafety. She was indeed, a mother to the people.
