THE WOMAN WITH '•hERVE'"-'
< me of the main reasons why women
<lO not attain the full perfection of
beauty which nature intended them to
have is because they constantly en
courage the destructive element which
we call "nerves" for short.
The woman with "nerves" is never
quite healthy or beautiful, because of
the constant, drain on her forces.
The nervous woman is always .tens*’,
and this tension shows itself in odd
ways.
The woman with a certain kind of
nerves simply starves her hair right
off her scalp, because she keeps those
ccalp ard head and neck muscles so
tight that not enough blood can get up
there to nourish toe hair. Then she
goes to a scalp specialist and gets mas
sage treatment, which helps some, hut
the real trouble lies in herself.
Another woman finds that she sets
her Jaw and frowns all the time quite
unconsciously. Her nerves have gone
to her face. Another woman holds her
shoulders right, the next one never
takes a good, long breath, the third
gulps her food down. Another girl un
consciously contracts the muscles of
the waist and chest. If you ask them
why they do these things, why they are
so tense, why they cut off the blood
supply in some part of the body by
contracting the muscles —the answci
always is: Oh. I'm so nervous I can't
help it.
Always Awkward.
The person who is nervdus and tense
1s almost always awkward and if for
that reason alone "nerves" should be
put a stop -to. You notice I did not
say controlled, because this physical
tension, whK'h is the result of nervous
ness. can not be controlled in the ordi
nary way. The more you control it. the
worse It gets and girls, particularly
children who arc forced to "control''
this kind of nervousness, often become
quite ill as the result of the wrong
method of changing the condition
You can overc'bme "nerves" and mus
cular tension by relaxation and by re
laxation only.
To find out what relaxation really is
you must contract your already stiff
muscles even further and then let go.
The first delicious feeling of relief is
Just the beginning of what real relaxa
tion is going to mean to the nervous
w oman.
A Good Example.

stretch itself, ‘stiffen every muscle In
its body and then relax completely, you
have a perfect example of how the re
laxation exercises ought to be done to
overcome nervousness.
I'm going to. begin with the ah' who
has a nervous, tense face, w ith lines of
worry and anxiety and a set frown be
tween the eyes.
I want her to take advantage of every
opportunity to do this relaxing work.
She can practice in street cars, and
whenever she has an odd moment.
Sit in a comfortable chair and rest
the head against the back, ''lose the
eyes. Relax the jaws and let the mouth
open naturally. Put your mind on
the muscles of your own self.

ter by just tensing all those muscles
over which you have control, and then
letting go of them. Contract the fore
head muscles and then relax them. Do
this repeatedly. Each time you will
be able to relax a little more. Now.
take the cheeks and jaw muscles. Work
over every set of muscles, contracting
them vigorously and relaxing. In a
little while your face will begin to tin
gle. a sure sign that the flow of blood
is increasing in those tense set muscles.
After some practice you will lode your
nervous expression naturally, for ten

nervousness.
EXERCISE FOR NERVOUS INDI
GESTION.
People afflicted with this trouble
should oat Very - slowly, masticating
carefully and long. They should avoid
teas, coffees and highly spiced, rich or
heavy dishes, and get out in. the open
air just as much as possible. Here are
two exercises which will help If done
night and morning:
Stand erect, place the left hand on
the left side of the body just above the
waist. Inhale ami stretch all the mus
cles of the left side upward, lifting r ibs
and shoulder to the highest degree pos
sible. The abdominal muscle will con
tract. Hold this position for several
moments, then relax completely and ex
hale.
Another good exercise for nervous
indigestion and for nerves generally
consists in a vigorous contraction of
the muscles of the back while lifting
up the ribs. Take a big breath arid lift
up the chest. I-’eel the contraction in
the back. Hold the position as Jong aS
you comfortably can. Now relax com
pletely. Repeat until you ocgin to
yawn.
Where the shoulders have been held
too rigidly exercises with the Staff,
holding body and arms very tense,
makes those muscles so tired that one
Instinctively relaxes them after the ex
ercise is done.
Hold the body straight Htid rigid,
grasp a staff in both hands, inhale and
raise staff above the head back of the
shoulders up again and down to the
chest, exhale, relax ami lower the staff.
A Fine Exercise.
One of the finest exercises for tens
ing and relaxing all the muscles of the
body is spear or stick Ibl owing. Got
a small spear—a stick with a sharp
point will do. Aim at a target ami take
a few running stops before, throwing
the spear, which should be held shoul
der high. While you are throwing the
spear every part of body is vitalized
and tense. As soon as the spear or rod
leaves the hand the muscles relax. ThiJ
relaxation, practiced steadily, is th*
cure for nerves. It is more a mental
than a physical process and no on -
i«n relax physically w ithout an effort
of the will.

Learn t.o make the most, of your
good looks.
By MARGARET HUBBARD AYER
BEFORE J go on with the making
of our pretty girl I want to an
swer some of the manv question’
that have poured in from girls between
fourteen and sixteen regarding their
complexions.
1 always feel deeply sympathetic with
girls of that-age. because it is a very
trying time One isn't quite H young
lady yet. and. one is not a child, and
clothes and manners both change along
with the manner in which one does
brio's hair, and the way one's complex
iotf looks.
A girl of fifteen who had taken my
last article very seriously to heart
wants to know what in the world she
will do.
"The gills at school are making fun
of me." she writes, "because my face is
shiny Just like a mirror, and yet you
say I must not use powder. All the
other girls do. so what shall I do?"
Personally I would much rather see a
shiny little nose than one that was all
chalked up with powder, but. my dear.
If it worries you so much, here are a
few simple ways that you may try to
overcome the greasy look:
in the first place I want you to re
member now and for always that the
lotion of treatment which agrees with
one skin won't agree with another, and
you want to try and experiment until
you have just the right treatment which
agrees with you. showing the best re
sults.
The Reason Why.
The reason your face Is so greasy is
because the little glands which find
their outlet in the pores of the skirt are
not working properly.
I explained to you in my la.-t article
that during this trying period of read
justment between childhood and yi.ung
womanhood the circulation of the biool
is very apt to go on strike somewhere,
and cause you all kinds of trouble tike
pimples and bla< kftcads. or aver y oily
sktn. These troubles will tight them
seltes in the couttse of time, especially
if you are careful, of your health. In
the meantime. I would suggest for the
girl with the greasy face that she try
one or the other of these treatments. Os
course. I take it for granted that you
don't "omit your daily bath, and that
you wash your face carefully and thor
oughly both night and morning. The
investment of a face brush will repay
you by clearing the pores of all Im
purities, and making it much easier for
you to work on your complexion.
The soap you use <m yout face need
not he an expensive kind, but It must
be pure. Many soaps can be used" on
the body or bands, but should not touch
th* face, if the soap slings it is too
strong for the face, and one of the
simplest tests is to taste it with th*
tongue. If it does not ''bite" it can
used on the face of the most sensitive
skinned girl.
Scrub your face with the brush and
soap. taJving especial pains to scrub
around the nostrils and Chin and ove*"
the temples w here blackheads are likely
to appear. Rinse the face with several
warm waters and, then .colri water and
dry catcfully and thoroughly. If you
use a facecloth, tak<* good care to see
that it is kept clean. After you have
used it wash it out in clear water with
a little ammonia and hang it up in the
w imiow to ,]ry
Instead of Powder.
Instead of using powde.fr. if your nose
is really very shiny, get. your mother
to give you about a teaspoonful of ep
som sadlts; boil about four oupces of
water and dissolve the salts In the
■vatei. bottle it and mop a little of this
liquid over your nos* when you* want
to be sure that It Is not going to look
shiny. By adding a little mote rpsont
salts you uni make a simple and * v* cl
ient bleach for neck ami fai.»
The Making of a Pretty Girl
The Face of Beauty, and Some Questions Answered
Beauty depends greatly on the way you take care of your natural
charms.
Don't let your mother throw away
any bits of cucumber, either the pulp
or the peel, because cucumber Juice is
one of the best tilings for the com
plexion. and you can rub it on al night
or during the day. It acts as a bleach
and will correct the oily look.
On warm days, when your face
shines, you may he able to beg a little
bit of white wine vinegar—about a ta
blespoonful— ami pour it into two cups
of rain water. Wipe your face with
this, and add a few drops of perfume
to the water if you like sweet odors.
Now for the girl whose skin is
blotchy. iif course, she assures tne
that there is not anything the matter
with her little stomach, and. as 1 don't
know my correspondents personally, 1
can not deny that they are right. But
usually, dear Sweet Sixteen, your face
is a pretty good indication of the con
dition of your blood, and if it Is
blotched Just now, ask your mother if
she won't mix you up a good, old-fash
ioned dose of sulphur and molasses.
I think probably it would do you good,
for I have seen more complexions clear
up with the simplest of remedies than
I cate to remember.
The Girl With the Red Nose.
The girl with the little red nose ex
ceedingly indignant at me because I
said it might be due to stricture of
Rome kind, tight lacing. tight garters,
etc. She also insists that she has not
indigestion, so I shall advise her first
of all to avoid all sudden changes in
temperature, not to get overheated if
she can avoid it, to rut tea and coffee
out "f her bill of fare, together with
spicy foods and too much meat.
Sometimes, if the nose ie very red, a
warm foot bath will allay the discom
fort, and lhe feature w ill return to Its
ordinary coloring. <>n the w hole, how
ever. the nose -shows indiscretion- in
eating, and anaemia, which means a
poor or weak condition of the blood,
an<j a chronic case of red nose should
be turned over to the family physician
ami cured, because it is an indication
of some real trouble.
Sweet Sixteen complains quite hit-
That Wicked Round
Into the little, village of Wuzzlevlale
there came a circus, with brazen band,
gaudy posters, mammoth elephants, su
perlative clowns anti fiery, untamed
lions.
The boys of lite place were mad with
excitement, and the young son of a no

up to his father and eagerly demanded
the nimble quart* r w ith w hich to view
the show.

terly in her letters of the shape of her
mouth.
Now. the mouth is shaped by char
acter, by the thought and will behind
the face. The Italians say that our
eyes are what God intended us to be.
and our mouths show what we have
made of ourselves.
At your age., jvlth all of life before
you. almost any kind of a mouth can
be made into a feature which expresses
character, strength and sweetness of
disposition, and that, after all, is real
beauty.
for the consolation of the girl with
the big mouth, 1 want to tell her that
it is a sign of a generous nature, and
1 hat both men and women are begin
ning to be rather critical of the tiny
rosebud mouth, which is apt to say
more bitter things than the bigger, if
less classic, lips.
If you don’t like the shape of your
lips and mouth, learn to enunciate with
great care and distinctness. The
preacher in the pulpit is a good exam
ple to follow, or if you Know of a
teacher who speaks almost tori pre
cisely. Imitate that teacher. t'areful
enunciation Is an exercise for the lips.
It strengthens all the muscles in the
lips, and if you form the habit, in time
you will get the well shaped lipa which
distinguish our best actresses and ac

A BOY is of no use to any one in

he is only of some use to them

At least this is the opinion of Day

Rut recently she discovered a use for
a good, live boy which she recommends
to all households that know the an

The supply of chinaware in the Ap

Pitchers looked as if they had been un
duly inquisitive and had been smashed
in the nose: cups and saucers bore
signs of a fight, and plates were so
outlined with cracks that one could
shift his potatoes and study the map of
Europe, and move his meat and pick
out a map of Mexico.
"We can t afford to buy a new set.”
said Daysey Maycne, "but we will have
one nevertheless."
So she urged a wealthy cousin to
visit them and- be sure and bring her

Anty Drudge on True Economy.
Afr*. Nuwed “I’m economizing by doing my own wash
ing. By boiling the clothes a long time I can get the
dirt out without much hard rubbing. ’’
Anty Drudge — “Economizing shucks! You’re burning up
money in fuel and wearing out .your clothes faster
when you boil them. Use Fels-Naptha in cool or
lukewarm water without boiling. You’ll save fuel,
save your clothes and you won’t have any hard rub
bing. That’s true economy.”
How much arc the clothes worth that
go into your weekly wash?
Many dollars at least.
Isn’t it worth while to take good care
of those clothes, to make them wear as
long as possible?
Then, why soften them by boiling and
hardrub them into holes on the washboard?
The Fels-Naptha way of washing will
save your clothes.
Fels-Naptha will cleanse them thor
oughly in cool or lukewarm water without
boiling or hard rubbing.
The clothes will be sweeter, cleaner and
whiter than you can get them any other
way. And they'll wear twice as long.
Remember, —whether winter or sum
mer, no boiling, no hot water, no hard
rubbing.
Time saved, fuel saved, work easier,
less bother.
Follow simple directions on the red

"That, is good so far.” said "Daysey
Mayme, "but it is not enough. You
and father must celebrate your china

"But we have been married tn years."
gasped her mother. "Why, YOU are
past 30!”
"They don’t know I am in this town."
said Daysey Mayme. "But if any sus

So the invitations were issued, and
when the guests arrived, each equipped
with a pickle dish, a soup tureen or
a gravy bowl, they were met at the
door by an old-looking creature.
True, she looked to be past 30, but
plainly she wasn't, for she wore skirts
that didn't reach her shoe tops, and her
hair hung in a braid down her back.
She kept a finger in her mouth, and
looked at the guests shyly. And at the
table she behaved most terribly,
screaming for more Ice .cream and
kicking when she didn't get it.
