OREGON . SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING. JANUARY 21, 1917. II ! ... "A I 1 NT By Lillian Rutsell (Copyright, 1017. iiy UUUn IUuell.) pANY a lovely face has. by bad habits of expression, grown into an unpleasant, wrinkled, uninter esting sight. We see a charming debutante or a bride beautiful In the r;lory of love and youth grow -in a short space of time into a soured, petulent. plain woman. People will remaric and wonder. The face is absolutely the Index of all ceiditons within. The pretty girl with her clear eyes, smooth skin and clear complexion changes It all in a few weeks when she gives in to sel fishness, temper and sulkiness. Sulking causes the muscles of the mouth to droop, the eyes to become heavy and the jaws to relax. Can you se the sulky face become set in that unpleasant position? There is real danger there. No beauty, however ideal and ethereal, can stand against such Internal feelings. We all know the expression of the bad-tempered girl. Her brow is in a perpetual scowl, her eyes stare and the muscles of her mouth are so rirmiy set that her entire face is distorted. She Is one to be avoided on all occa sions. - She possesses the quality of mind that disrupts every situation and causes disaster to all sociability. She is the embodiment of selfishness and conceit. If such a girl is not dis clpllned she will not only grow to be an ugly member of society, but she will sow destruction all through her life and reap nothing but misery. Parents are much to blame for the disposition of their children. It is en tirely in their hands to offer ugly, un mannered, crude animals to society, or refined, cultivated, charming young women. Why should girls be allowed to be impertinent to their mothers? What mother with any sort of stamina will permit her daughter to dictate to her? Girls need watching and disciplining today more than ever in the past. Thera is double the temptation today than ever before. The beach, the dance hall and the tearoom, the auto mobile, skating Tink and cosy lunch room all hold attractions that seem I harmless, but have the power to entice t the strongest-minded girls from re-1 sponsibilities and duties. f J I silk stockings, hair on the legs is as annoying as on the arms. ' If you have a dark fuzx on your arms, take enousrh Dure neroxida of nyarogen to wet the hair: add a few drops of ammonia. This will bleach tne hair so that it is less consnicuouft. ana me ammonia gradually will kill me roots. This treatment may havs io oe repeated several times. The hair in the nose never should be pulled out. but at least once a week a bit of cotton saturated with pure peroxide of hydrogen should be placed in the nostrils while one 4s dressing. This will bleach the hair" so that it win not be noticeable. For Toroid Liver. A teaspoonfnl of best olive oil taken every morning half an hour before breakfast and the-same quantity half an hour after the latest meal of the day will be found very effective for liver spots on the face, if you will only persist in the treatment. In a few months this will excite your liver to proper action, clear your skin and otherwise improve your health. The unsweetened juice of a lemon in a glass of water every morning before breakfast Is also beneficial for this purpose. Drink plenty of cool, not Iced, water between meals. Never eat hot breads rich pastries or sauces. teat plenty of fruits and vegetables that do not contain much starch. Blackhead Eradicator. Here Is an excellent blackhead erad icator: One ounce tincture of green soap and 30 drops peroxide of hydro gen. Mix and apply with absorbent cotton, rubbing thoroughly. Leave on half an hour, then wash off with cold i.water. Do this four times a dav. Yellow Neck. Apply this lotion: Four ounces of alcohol, 2 ounces of rosewater, 15 drops of tincture of benzoin. Use skin food also. I WELCOME HOME CORPS , So "Tommies" Call Them. Endell Street Vinsnlrnl Tinilmi 1 -" s1"" ictiw nu, eriu mannea - entirely by women from on to the point of fearing you. It is bet- . erating-room to the closed, black ele- ter to let your daughters fear you and be good than to hold you in contempt and go wronn. I consider every moth er responsible for the beauty and man ners of her daughters. Children reflect their home sur roundings in their manners abroad. What mother can resist criticising the manners of the children who visit her children? They are unconscious of it, but she is placing the mothers of those young visitors in their proper places. Too bad more mothers do not profit by the manners of other people's chll- I drn. A girl's outlook on life should be cheerful, hopeful and beneficial. She should be taught from the cradle to be generous and give. Divide her precious sweetmeats and favorite toys. She should be compelled to obey her mother in all things naturally under standing that her mother has the qual ities to demand such respectful obedi ence. Children who get into mischief are uninterested in their toys. Even small children may be occupied sensibly. I can remember when my mother save me a rag and a little pall of water and told ma to clean a window pane a foot square. I was happily occupied for hours and out of mischief. After that aire always gave me some sort of oc cupation. She allowed me to sharpen ner pencils with a patent sharpener, To be sure, I destroyed a few pencils, but I was happily occupied. Children Imitate their elders. What little girl has not dolled herself up in ner mothers long skirt and trailed it through the &irty,atreet with ecstatic enjoyment? Accept that situation. Understand that you are the model for your daugh ter in every way, in facial expression. which- is a reflection of your inner thoughts. In conversation and the manner of your speech, In deportment ana in religion. Teach your girl the love of God and his beneficent grace. Everything else must emanate from that impression. Max them respect religion suffi ciently to speak of it in daily conver sation, not in whispered awe. It is something to be proud of. and is the foundation of all love and all beauty or raina ana body. xi your aaugnters are well man nered, pleasant to look at and speak me ii-ngusn language oroDerlv. you may be a proud mother, for there are very few such girls in America today. To Reduce the Bust Gentle massage night and morning with spirits of camphor will reduce the bust. Any vigorous exercise in volving the arms, muscles of the arms and chest will help you get rid of su perfluous flesh. Exercises with chest weights, rowing, swimming, boxing and fencing are excellent. e- vator that reeks of disinfectants, has won a name among the Tommies. There is something "different" about it not measured in terms of appliances and appurtenances. The difference is atmosphere. People about London see quiet, busy women moving through the crowds and wearing brown uniforms with blue shoulder-tabs, with the letters. W. H. C. Soldiers call them the "Welcome Home Corps" but they are the Woman's Hospital Corps, who run the Endell Street hospital all themselves. The work of the corps in France dur ing the early months of the war was so conspicuous that the military au tnorities gave them a hospital in Lon don, not far from Covent Garden, the great flower market. In this huge building with Its 570 beds over 2000 operations have been performed and more than 3000 X-ray photographs taken all by women. Sympathy, tenderness and the fac ulty for understanding when a fellow wants to be comforted or let alone are attractions not in Ithe government's specifications for Endell street. But Tommies know about them and hun dreds ask on arriving at the railroad stations to be placed in the ambulances of the Welcome Home Corps. Tommy knows there's nothing like the soft, soothing hand of a tender woman to stroke his forehead when the fever's got him. He knows he won't get, that treatment afe. the ordi nary human repair shop. So if luck is with him ha draws a berth in an Endell street ambulance. Dr. Flora Murray is chief physician with 15 doctors and seven assistants, including surgeons. bacteriologists. pathologists and every grade of medi cal expert. Even the stretcher-bearers are women and the orderlies, too, wear the brown uniform skirt. ii i r m pyx? nsr . I I J X Mirtv'l viy ngyj' la v-y Li.

Y you still have a little money left after Christmas and New Tear's, don't worry, you won't have it aft er January White Sales! January white sales have become as established a custom in all the best shops as well as furniture sales in August I don t quite see now tney have the face to call them white sales any more, however. The daring cut or some of the newest lingerie nas cer tainly caused a blushing plnkness to prevail, and the alleged whits sale is no longer pure white or pure or white Things are even beginning to iook a bit black for the white sale. What. with all the present erase for black chantilly lingerie, nobody would ever ba afraid to go to bed in the dark if it was in one of the exquisite new black chantilly nighties. They are almost as light as they ar dark, anyway, u not mors so. A streak of yellow appears often on the purest silk combinations, and mauve, cerise and Copenhagen disrupt the pink perfection of many a com bination and chemise. For those that have pink silk yearn ings and only pink eotton earnings the pink batiste lingerie this season is reallr lovely. I saw a bird of a pair of pink wash crepe pajamas dotted all over with bine birds and a pink crepe nightie covered with blue and white butterflies that was a decidedly fly little garment. The white sales not only offers cov ering for your back, but for your bed and board as well. The linen sheets hemstitched em broidered, mo nog rammed and inset with laces are markeJ down suffi ciently to tempt the tightest of tight wads, and as for the table linen, well no one can resist it Either your table linen must be chastely and elegantly plain or It must be profusely and lavishly mats. You i can see that at the very lirst giuapse.. at the white sales. - i The war time Penelopes tn Belgium I and Francs are busy turning out gos samer laces and embroideries while their war lords are away. The results . are table cloths, dollies, lunch cloths, napkins and- luncheon sets that are fairy-like in their fragile bean ties. Over colored cloths of gleaming satin, these lace and embroidery works oX art show to advantage at luncheons, and dinners, carrying out a set tolor scheme. Just to carry the dolling up of the festal board a step further, cen terpieces of gold or sUver gauss heav ily embroidered in gold or silver threads are a brand new conceit. .. ... For more conservative and dignified taste the plain damask cloths bordered in a broad satin stripe ana Bono- grammed tn two places with, square monogram, with plain satin strips bor dered mono (rrammed napkins to match. casmot be tffrproved upon. Of course, an elaborate lace and embroidery piece . is used in the center. A very original and artistic house wife I know dresses her dining table up for breakfasts, home dinners and informal luncheons in natural colored crash cloths, hemstitched and marked In Chinesey monograms of bios,-with napkins done the same. With these distinctive cloths she uses a service of the blue and whits Chines Canton chissa. , - Naturally, she has them mads to or der, or makes them herself, and the white sales are showing wonderful bargains in linen crash and natural linen by the yard. Certainly, with Its smashing prices and crash by the yard. It la no wonder every female these days hears ana,, heeds the call of the whits sals. - Room for the y Folks By Mm: Mai on. A carrier for children to be suspend ed from the parent's shoulder and leave both hands free has been patented by a Los Angeles inventor. Tlie French basket, with Its fruit and flowers, that deccrate the canning frock at the left is made bj floss arranged on a foundation of striped silver tissues. The drapery is of shell-colored panne velvet, the bodice again being of the tissue. Miss Prim on the stairway is dad In brocade in pastel tints, the lady nearest her wears a frock of embroidered Callot net trimmed with tubular crystal beads, and the Very bunchy person at the right blockades the premises with folds and cascades of Hortensia blue charmeuse, blue chiffon and hip loops of blue velvet embroidered with metallic threads. Lovely all? You know it. 4f H' By Mme. Qui Vive. Copyright, 1917. by J. Keeley. OW fortunate," observed the fashion philosopher, "that fash ions are not perfect We can always pick the little flaw, spot the de fect, note the siggy-zag of a supposedly certain line, and thus make ourselves happy, because -we fancy that we glori fy ourselves by our discoveries of faults. Perfection is detestable; even near-perfection is odious. And because fashion is a lovely and bountiful source of criticism it Is something almost human. "Its power has a fascination. We resolve to cultivate a magnificent dis regard for sartorial wrappings. If they are clean and comfortable and of good fabric, that is enough. AU of which nonsense to laughter inclines us if we confess to ourselves the un flattering truth. Clean and comfort able! Will that suffice for the soul's health of the lady in the looking-glass? What will she say when she glances out at one? Will she not put forth her hands and plead that she may not be left behind while all the world, clad gayly, goes dancing on? To her you have to answer, and the lady in the looking-glass grows no younger as the years roll on and on, like the turns of a ilent wheel. To deny her a beau tiful drapery or a graceful robe is to endure her gentle reproach. Who has the heart to bear that, ask I?" If the lady in the looking-glass is to shine and beam and dance and prance then give to her a frock of fflet sole decorated with silver lace. This exquisite fabric Is fresh from the looms of France and is a marvel to the eye. It drapes exquisitely and needs no trim other than Its own ornamental surfaces. Moire returns to us, but not in solid form. 'It comes in stripes, alternating either with satin, taffeta or faille. Some of the color arrangements are striking sea moss green is combined with corn color and shell pink with forget-me-not blue. Wltjj a skirt' of stripe, bunched up here "and there in cascades and loops, and a bodice of nothing much more than a girdle of satin, and a brassiere of tulle em broidered with silver, this new material stitches up into dashing frocks for the merry evening. While the edict at the beginning of the autumn-winter season was 'straight lines," and this silhouette scheme has been followed in frocks and mantles, evening gowns alone have persisted in their pursuit of bunch and bouffancy. The farthingale dropped away, evaporated or rusted whatever you will and the extensions slipped lower down. Now the tendency Is toward the loop drapery and the cascade, always and invariably so ar ranged that the aides of the costume have long broken lines, while front and back remain as straight as two strings. A Bullos model. Just over, is of green satin veiled with Callot net In faint apricot, forming a lovely glowing tone that Is charming. Satin in used for the oversklrt, which is draped on either side in sweeping folds grvlng a spread at a point Just above the knees that causes the skirt to- scoop in. bar rel fashion, at the hem. FETCHING DESIGN FOR BREAD TRAY DOILIE Superfluous Hair. Nothing is as effective for super fluous hair ss the electric needle; but the needle cannot be used on arms or legs, where it is often very objection able. A good depilatory, and there are many on the market, can be used, ahd then the parts dabbed with cold cream Now that it is fashionable to wear thin How to Transfer Design. If very sheer material is used, it may be laid over the pattern and the design traced through in pencil. Or the design may be easily trans ferred by placing a piece of carbon paper on the material, shlnv sm .down, the the design on top of the carbon. In tracing the pattern with 1 the use of carbon paper, use a verv isnarp pencil or a new orangewood I BUCK, Perhaps the best Plan in transfer. I ring a design is to pin the sheet of paper and the material together and bold them up against a window pane iwsmg me aesign. The out lines will then be perfectly clear. Another method la to place a bar 01 soap in a pint of hot water until the water becomes soapy. Remove the soap, saturate th rtMim itk tthe mixture and partially dry.

Y w o, oo , A II ' AIR and sunshine sre essential In the room that Is choeen for the nursery or bed etiamber to be oc cupied by the wee folk of the house hold. Relegate the chance guest to a courtroom and give the kiddles the very lightest, sunniest quarters pos sible. Each child must have his own bed. even If the room Is shared by the small sister or brother. Before we begin .with the furnishing or decorating, see to It that the car penter builds In for each child a low. roomy box (put thera under a case ment window aw a window seat If practical). In which toys may be kept. Then have two eta of book shelves. for children love their very own places for things. Having provided each child with adequate means of keeping or der, see to it that the law Is enforced. A noted lecturer from the University of Chicago said recently in a talk on making better cltisens that the train ing must begn in the very early days of childhood in requiring even a child to do his or her part. He said If a child was old enough to kick up a rug he was old enough to back and turn it down. I know of no better way to teach a, lesson of helpfulness la the home than by first providing a room for the children and then aoelifg that each one In it kept order. A splendid ides for such a room is to have a low seat built part way around the walls with plenty of cush ion and covers of wash material. Do the woodwork tn a greenish gray. Just about the color of sage or "dusty miller," that garden plant of our child hood. For the walls there Is wlds lati tude according- to the age o the chil dren. I like a pale pink shade la wash paint, with a frieze or border made by cutting out "Alice In Wonderland or "Kate Oreenaway" figures from paper. The rug must cover the floor almost entirely and be of wash material. Many mothers prefer colonial rugs done "hit or miss," with the prevailing shades pink, picked out with black. If curtains are neooesary havs thatn of aheer net. with drapes and valance of gray chlntx, the kind that has birds and flowers In a gorgeous riot of color. Wicker or rattan chairs are exoellent. as they may be easily cleaned. For bods, dressers, desks, tables nothing could be more attractive or suitable than wood enameled In a soft rose olnk and decorated with motifs, having birds and flowers the same as In the cretonne used. This may sound elab orate, but much of the work may be aone oy nome talent. If any member of the household Is gifted with a paint orusn. Now for pictures. Let there bo pro ductions of the lovely old masters like -miss simplicity." "Age of Innooonoa. one or two Madonnas (one over each bed Is a pretty Idea), then let each child have a box of tacks to put up whatever picture happens to strike his fancy. It la such Joy to a' child to have its individuality recognised la this way. Have window boxes with flowers ta summer and little evergreens In win ter and a shelf for the birds. SO- the children may feed them from the win dow. Even in the city these charming guests may be entertained very easily with a bit or thought on our part, and they are such grateful guests these cold days. Monkey Fur.

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND THEIR HAIR Did it ever occur to you that every movie actress you havs seen has lovely hair, while the most popular count their curls as their chief beauty? In fact, many are leading ladies Just be cause of their attractive locks. In qulry among them discloses the fact that they bring out all. the natural beauty of their hair by careful sham pooing, not with any soap or make shift, but with a simple mlxtuVe by putting a teaspoonful of canthrox (which they get from the druggist) In a cup of hot water and applying this instead of soap. This full cup of sham poo liquid is enough so It is easy to apply to all the hair Instead of Just the top of the bead. After Its nss, the hair dries rapidly with uniform color.
