Complaining Unbeautitul
By LILLIAN
(Copyright, 1014. by Lillian Russell.)
Recently there came to me. among tlie
numerous letters suggested by these ar-
ticle*, this letter, from a man: "Will you
write something about the woman who
believes that the best way to conduct her-
self in the homo is to complain from
morning until night. T \\»int to clip it out
and show it to my wife, who is a healthy
woman, but tries to make everyone she
meets believe otherwise."
How many of us have not met this sort
<>f creature at one time or another? How
many of us have sighed with relief upon
os<aping from the unhealthy conversation
of such h woman, while suffering martyr-
dom attending her complainings? It sarins
unbelievable that a healthy woman with
a normal mind will so demean herself as
to insist that the best way to hold the
love and sympathy of her husband is to
always complain of poor health, of pains
and aches, of weariness.
She is deluded by the belief that because
her poor husband performs the functions
of a trained nurse, and because he sympa-
thizes verbally every time she complains,
her domestic happiness is just as it should
be. But a silly woman who follows such
practices is only deluding herself. She
may not realize it, but she is producing a
PROMOTE A
CLEAR SKIN
foggy atmosphere in her home, which
keeps out all sunshine.
I have seen several women who think it
clever to essay a fainting spell in public,
so their husbands may busy themselves
rushing about for water or other restora-
tives. Naturally the men could not do
otherwise, being under observance. But
they are embarrassed and have their
thoughts, which are of an accumulative
quality. In such a case a man would be
justified in neglecting to take notice of a
fainting fit when perpetrated in the pri-
vacy of his own home.
The great, danger resulting from this
brainless fashion, which is far more preva-
lent than is generally recognized, is that
tin? woman who pretends illness to enlist
sympathy eventually sacrifices her health
to her dissemblance. She becomes really
ill in fact, when people have ceased to take
her seriously, and there is no more happi-
ness in the world for her. T<« the man
who, as is evidenced by his letter, is suf-
fering through a silly, mindless wife, I of-
fer the advice that lie carry out his inten-
tion of discussing the subject with her.
But he must be sure her manner is n coun-
terfeited one, maintained solely to enlist
sympathy.
Remember: Every false statement, au-
dible or inaudible, is reflected buck upon
the person who presents it.

Mrs. Mary J.: The following exercise is
excellent for the hack: This is mast con-
veniently taken on getting up in the morn-
ing ^id going to bed at night. Clothing
then forms no hindrances. Lie flat 011
your back on a blanket which is placed
upon the floor. Inline- and exhale vigor-
ously but slowly ten times Then rest for
half a minute. Now as you in 1.ale raise
the arms along the floor until they are ex-
tended straight abc.ve the head. Next bring
them back straight to the sides, expelling
the breath at. this time. Rest a minute
more and Then rtepat the exercise ten
times, raising the arms up into the air.
dropping them 011 the floor back of the
head, as in the first position of extension.
Inhale slowly with the movement. Exhnie
as you bring the arms back to resting po-
sition. Note the effect of this exercise on
the chest. A short period of practice in
deep breathing will so expand the muscles
over the diaphragm that you will never
again allow yourself to sit <>r stand in any
but an erect position. Von will hunger for
the effects of oxygen. Deep breathing does
more than any other form of exercise f<»r
circulation, for respiration, and for diges-
tion.
A. M. V.: No. indeed, I would not ad-
vise a girl of your aire to,take anything (o
reduce flesh You are still young and
have plenty of tinn to lose flesh.
Grace: I am afraid there is nothing you
can do to reduce the size of your nose.
When the bone is large there is nothing
that will make it smaller.
I*. M.: 1 do not think the spots are
freckles. Freckles as a rule do not come in
large brown spots on the face. [ tlihik
they are liver spots. If you will send me a
stamped, addressed envelop*. I shall be
glad to send you a formula for removing
liver spots, als > a tonic for your hair, with
instructions for scalp massage. Kerosene
is good for the hair, but it is so disagree
able to use. 1 am sorry, but 1 eanuot give
yom a famed) Internal trouble. Con
suit a physician.
l'\ M. R. : There is nothing 1 could give
you that would remove the mole 1 would
i.ot advise you to tamper with it in any
way or irritate it. I would advise you to
have It removed with an electric needle.

American F ashions
(By Lillian K. Young.)
*^OIl a really distinctive wrap and one
* that, at the same time, is unusually
practical and comfortable, th« model Illus-
trated 1h to be commended. The original
is of wine-colored h<neade velour with
the embossed design all in the same tone
and with soft, 3een collar and cuffs
of gray fox or skunk.
This is a full-length model following,
In a novel way, the lines prescribed by
fashion, for, instead of merely being
shaped in the cutting to taper at the feet,
the effect is here achieved through three
perpendicular rows of shirring from knee
to hem In back. Naturally this will neces-
sitate considerable extra length 111 back,
though the shirring should not be very
full.
The upper portion of the wrap is very
roomy, with wide sleeves merely in the
form of side extensionj gathered Into the
fur (Miffs.
The fronts of the wrap round off in
cutaway lilies started from the crossed-
over fastening well below the waist.
The same model nn.v be equally well
developed In silk or cloth, although, If In
the latler, a lightweight woolen weave will
be necessary to avoid any undue bulk iu
the shirred portion.
Some exceptionally good-looking wraps
are being turned out In the fine polo
cloths that are wonderfully light and
warm and need 110 lining, though In many
case* where a dark color might be apt to
rub off on light dresses a hip-length loose
lining is attached.
One very attractive design has been seen,
developed In cream wlwte chinchilla cloth,
with some large self-covered buttons at
the fastening and tM'onv collar and cuffs
of red fox.

Very beautiful was the pink ball given
last night by the Girls' Cotillion Club, a
club which enjoys wide prestige and whose
annual bail is looked forward t<» each year
with much interest. The officers, Misses
Catherine Franklin, Fanlta McMillan,
Marv Milby Giles and Janie Polk—MIsk
Louise Barclay is an officer, but is in
mournkig—received many congratulations
last night on the success of their plans.
The promenade hall was decorated with nu-
merous tall palms, whose pots were houud
with pink and green, and the choscn col«»r
scheme was carried out la the ballroom by
large bunches of greens bound with pink
nialine and suspended from the drop lights
about the walls, while in the supi>er room
the small tables where the guests partook
of a four-course luncheon, were adorned
with potted hyacinths wrapped about in
pink crepe paper. The programs were pink,
edged with silver, the monogram. "G. C.
C.," being embossed on the cover in silver.
They called for right straight dances, four
extras and two cotillions. 1 lie first cottl-
Jion, that of the president, was danced be-
fore supper and was particularly pretty.
It was led out by Miss Catherine Franklin,
president of the club, and Billie Hlocker,
and was strictly a pink cotillion. Partner*
lor this were obtained in a novel manner.
A pink flowered screen was placed in the
center of the ballroom ami from beblntf it
the men threw pluk ribbons across to the
girls, who immediately converted the rib-
bons into lines ami with pretty pink whips
drove the uien through the dance that fol-
lowed. Low pink hurdles were placed at
intervals for the dancers to Jump. In the
second figure the favors for the girls were
browu baskets filled with tiny pink rose
buds, while ping boutonierre* were for the
men. The figure carried out the popniar
"London bridge Is falling down" idea. The
third figure, the "Pink Lady." was very
I-retty. The girl* and their partner* scpV-
rated and the girls, after being adorned
with pink-spangied hair bands, formed <n
line along one end of the room, and the
men, dam lug up from the other end and
playing small violin®, serenaded the ladles
of their choice and dam-ed off together.
The debutante*' cotillion, called "Folly
Octillion" by its promoters, was danced
after the 11 o'clock supper. The favors for
the men were red carnival caps and for the
girls there were red willowy reeds tied at
either end with bows of re"«l ribbon frem
wbi« h long streamers floated. This pretty
«-otillion was led by Ml** Katberine M« -
