“Humpty-Dumpty sat on a trail;
Humpty-Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses
And all the King's men
Couldn’t put Humpty-Dumpty
together again!”
'VI7THILE Humpty’s misfor
tune caused untold grief
to many in their child
hood days, the modern woman
finds comfort in his breaking
since eggs are of established
value in beauty culture.
The whites of eggs have long
been used in the form of dry
shampoo. Eggs added to the
regular shampoo jelly bring out
hitherto hidden lights in the
tresses, as well as being both
nourishing and beneficial to the
hair and scalp.
The whites of eggs also have
been credited with rejuvenating
properties when applied to the
skin, but a certain skepticism has
prevented such treatments from
becoming popular.
Recent research, however, has
proved that tho whites of eggs
applied to tho skin act as an
astringent and nourisher, closing
large pores and thu3 warding off
blackheads and extreme oiliness.
They tone up and rejuvenate the
skin and tissues, giving a firm
and youthful contour to the face.
Whites of egg3 used on the face
two or three times each week

Albumen.
over a short period, make the
skin translucent, preserving the
youthful bloom so necessary to
feminine beauty and charm.
There are two ways of using
this treatment. One is
for general use over the entire
face and throat, the other for
erasing lines from specific parts
of the face and throat. I’ll ex
plain the making and using of
the mask for the entire face be
fore taking tip the elimination of
lines.
The face should be thoroughly
cleansed. If cream is used, hold
a hot towel to the face for a
minute or two to dissolve any
remaining creaqa, but if soap
and water are preferred, rinse the
skin in warm water and dry it.
Then separate the white from the
yolk of an egg, as only the white
is used for the treatment.
The mask is made by cutting
small holes in a square of gauze
(large enough to cover the face)
to allow for breathing and sight.
1^. Dip the mask in the
albumen and place
it over the face,
pressing the fingers
• ^ lightly but firmly
over the mask to
&. j make it conform
with the contour of
the face. Then
smooth it out until
all wrinkles are
! gone.
Now, holding the
fingers at the
temples, gently push
the face up a little
and hold this posi
i tion until the mask
, is dry. Remove the
j fingers and allow
the mask to remain
on for at least half
an hour, longer if
possible. No facial
expression should be
^ v Vi indulged in until the
■ y mask is removed or
the full mask is ve
moved or the full
benefits will not be
derived from the
Xyt treatment.
""'M--* Before removing
the gauze, pat a lit
tle cold water oTer
the face aid start
ing at the lower edg* gently
draw off the gauze. Rinse
the skin with cold water and
pat dry.
In treating wrinkles you will
need one piece of gauze about
three inches wide and eight or
nine Inches long for correcting'
lines in the forehead and an
other strip four inches wide and
long enough to encircle the
throat. Cut other strips about /.
two inches wide and four inchea ^
long for under the eyes, two ■
strips three inches wide and six
inches long for lines around the rj
mouth. It is an excellent idea
to have a few extra pieces on
hand.
After thoroughly opening the
pores by holding a hot compresa
to the face and throat, dip the
gauze for the forehead in the al- lyU
bumen and, placing the center of
the gauze on the forehead be
tween the eyes, smooth it out
towards the temples.
Dip one of the little pieces in
the albumen and starting at the
corner of the eye, smooth out
the gauze againt the direction of
the wrinkles. The movement is
the same as that used in massage
treatments for erasing lines from %
the area around the eyes. Al- (?*
ways work against the lines.
Next apply the strips to the
laughing lines, starting at the
corners of the mouth and extend
the gauze to a point between the
temple and the ear. Then sat
urate the large strip of gauze (
and holding the head erect,
spread the gauze smoothly over
the entire throat. Allow the
strips to remain on as long as
possible.
You will feel a slight drawing
of the skin as the strips dry out,
but the face will feel firm and
the muscles and tissues taut. If
you prefer taking the treatment
at night, the little strips may be
applied to any or all parts of the
face and throat and allowed to
remain on until morning. Pat
a little water over tl * gauze be
fore removing it, lifting the strip*
from the face in the same direc
tion as they were applied so that
none of the benefits derived from
the treatment are lost. *
An ice massage is excellent at
this time, provided it is gentle
and an upward and outward mo- *
tion is employed. Harsh methods
should never be used on the fac6,
as the fine underlying tissues
.and muscles are easily damaged.
What’s Next in Fashions?

^Famous Fashion Expert}
WITH the advent of Spring
the ensemble again takes
its place ir the front ranks
of Fashion. Of coarse, this ever
popular style has been greatly
used during the Winter months,
but the newest ensembles in the
•hops are so much lovelier than
the ones to which we have be
come accustomed that it is hard
to resist their appeal.
Almost every material imagi
nable is used to compose these
fascinating costumes. Even fig
ured chiffons are utilized to fash
ion the most Btunning Summer
•nsembles imaginable.
Probably the popularity of
this particular style is due to the
re-entry of the jacket as an es
sential part of the wardrobe. For
now one must have jackets for
•very occasion, whether it be
shopping, sportswear, dinner or
evening. And they are certainly
an adorable addition to the
pgrade.
Satin is widely used this Spring,
and instead of the dress and coat
which we have been calling en
sembles, we find the three-piece
costume leading. Some particu
larly attractive costumes of this
type were seen in a Fifth Ave
nue 6hop recently, made of bril
liantly colored Bilk. The jackets
were of the cardigan type, un
lined, and the skirt3 buttoned on
to a white satin blouse. Alto
gether lovely for informal wear.
For more dressy occasions one
can find almost any color or ma
terial.
A most appealing combination
fc the one shown here. It is of
black kasha. The coat is lined
with checked cravat silk (a most
popular material this season for
all uses) and also forms the
•carf.
The blouse is of white satin
and has a novel touch in the but
toned yoke, which fastens with a
black kasha button.
Double box plaits give a jaunty
air to the skirt which is of the
•„ latest decreed length, four inches
below the knees. By the way,
_ Paris Bays that skirts should be
at least six inches below the
knees, but I doubt if this length
will appeal to the American wo
man, who likes freedom in her

clothes, of which she would be
robbed with a long skirt retard
ing her stride.
An ensemble fashioned along
the same lines as the one pic
tured, can be developed in almost
any material desired. It would
be lovely in satin with white
crepe satin lining and blouse.
'•The scarf could be double, black
on one side and the white crepe
satin on the other. Or beige and
brown which is another popular
combination. All of the blues
are good and the greens at this
time of the year meet with their
perennial popularity.
LET’S PLAY HOUSE By Florence W. Ro* tTSfSStSS i
Barbara donnes and
Gerald Renard while in
the employ of John Byrdon
are married secretly and take
a small apartment, where they
spend week * ends. Barbara
gives up her job when Byrdon
insults her and obtains a po
sition in a theatrical office.
Meanwhile her young cousin,
Letty, comes to live with Mrs.
Donnes. Barbara has just been
promoted to be secretary to
tha president, when she dis
covers she is to become a
mother. She keeps this a
secret from Jerry, and when
she does tell him he is fright
ened by the responsibilities it
entails.
JERRY left hi3 home
and started to walk
in the direction of
“The Manse.” It was 10
o’clock; he knew Babs
would be expecting him,
yet he did not hurry.
His feet seemed to be
weighted down, too heavy

Facing Him Was a Man, Holding Up Hi* Hands. No More Than » Foot
Away Was a Masked Bandit, Pistol in Hand.
• , V riree aays and
nights he had pounded the
problem of the fresh difficulties
that were beseting him—Byr
don’s impatience seemed the least
important of them and yet, if he
lost his job—now, when money
was more than a necessity
At one moment he was filled
with elation at the thought of
his approaching fatherhood. The
word meant fulfillment—the life
long realization of every human.
At the next moment he was cast
into the very abyss of despair—
he was tortured with the knowl
edge that he had not earned the
right of fatherhood, could not as
sume its financial responsibilities.
Automatically, almost, he
found himelf walking in a direc
tion opposite to “The Manse,”
through streets of unfamiliar
slovenliness. His mind bent on
the insurmountable barriers to
his happiness he continued walk
ing further and further from the
center of town. It was not until
a sharp wind blew a spray of
foam across his face that he
realized ho had reached the river
front.
An idea struck his brain—an
ugly, devastating idea. It flashed
across his'mind as ' / looked into
the fathomless d« pths of the
seething waters and saw his own
harried reflection. He shuddered,
then continued walking slowly,
his eyes fastened on the ground.
Suddenly he raised his head. Had
someone called? Impossible. The
moonlight threw into relief every
irregularity of the jutting wharf
—there was no one there. Yet
he could have sworn that he heard
a voice—it might have been a
man’s voice or a woman’s—cry
out “Oh, my God!’’ He turned
a sharp corner, then his body
stiffened involuntarily.
Facing his was a man about
60 years old, well-dressed and
evidently with means. He was
holding up his arms and there
was in. his watery blue eyes such
a look of helplessness as Jerry
had never seen on the face of
any other human being. Planted
no more than a foot away and
with his back toward Jerry was
a masked bandit, pistol in hand.
The weapon trembled a little, but
the legs that were placed rather
wide apart were rooted to the
ground.
“Amateur at the game,’' was
Jerry’s first thought. Then he
placed a warning finger to his
lips and his eyes gave courage
to the old man. With a swift,
6trong gesture Jerry grasped the
bandit by the wrist, at the same
time, entwining his leg with the
other’s in guch a way as to throw
him.
The pistol rolled to the ground
and the gangster seized Jerry by
the throat. But it was only a
feeble gesture of defiance for
the old man had grasped the
weapon and was levelling it at
the bandit,
“Give me the gun, sir” Jerry
cautioned. “I’ll take care of him
while you telephone fjjr a police
man.”
On the way to the police sta
tion the man he had befriended
introduced himself. “My name,”
he said, “is Horace Evans. I
know that no money I could give
you would be an adequate ex
pression cf my gratitude for the
thing you did. But something—
if I could do something --
Jerry interrupted. “Your
thanks are quite sufficient, Mr.
Evans,” he said. “I couldn’t
possibly accept money for what
was only decent.”
Evans thought a moment, then
held out his hand. “May I know
the name of my benefactor?" he
asked graciously. They exchanged
cards and Jerry hurried off to
‘The Manse."
It was not until he had finished
retailing the 6tory to Barbara
that he realized the man whose
life he had saved was the million
aire oil operator wh® had lately
endowed a university.
"Maybe your m4et\ g Mr.
Evans is a sign that our luck is
changing," Babs suggested hope
fully. “Maybe he’ll do some
thing for y®u, Jerry." Then she
pressed his arm affectionately.
“Anyway, he’s done something
for me. He’s made me terribly,
terribly proud of you. ..." ' i

•TVEAR MRS. WILSON:
^ 1 have a very elegant oil
painting, quite eld, which appears
to be dirty. Could you tell me
something to clean it witht
MRS. J. F. XV.
Wash the painting with a soft
cloth wrung out of lukewarm soap
suds. Wash only a small strip at
a time, wiping it dry immediately.
When the painting is clean apply
evenly a thin coating of linseed
oil with a piece of cheese cloth
or flannel. This will prevent the
picture from cracking. If you
want to varnish the picture, wait
several days. Use the best oil
and varnish procurable.
Dear mrs. Wilson:
I have a breakfast set enam
eled blue and white. It has two
coats. XVhat would remove them
so I could varnish it a walnut
colorT Could I dye a light blue
dress that is faded, ug
agnint
You can buy prepared paint re*
movers, but you can also make
one at home with either potash,
soda or ammonia. Use one pound
©f soda to five or six quarts of
boiling water, or one pound of
potash to six quarts of cold watery
All of these removers are very
caustic and must be used with
extreme care. Have as much
fresh air as possible, and don't
stay in the room when the paint
is softening. (
It is much more difficult to dye a
dress a light color than a dark
one. However, since your dress has
faded from a light blue, you might
be very successful In dyeing it the
same shade. There are many ex
cellent dyes on the market. Fol

make certain that your dress is
absolutely clean before you start
