Prominent Women Attend Tea Given Yesterday in Honor Of Mrs. Earle and Miss Dillon About 200 guests prominent in women's activities throughout the I city attended the tea given yesterday by the Exposition of Girl. and Her Boy Friends, Helen Worth's Theme Girl of 17 Too Young To Be Pledged to Any Suitor Among Admirers Believing that many persons are confronted with personal problems, anxious for advice, but unwilling to seek it from friends or readers to write to Helen communication close personal your own name or an SIDE OF THE relatives, The Eagle invites its Worth, who will give each attention. Write under assumed one AND ON ONE PAPER ONLY.

Advice by Helen Worth Dear Helen Worth--My 17, is going out with two boys of 19. Both are fine young men, of good character and principles. One has serious intentions, having told my daughter sO. She has trankly told him she feels she is really too young to know what it is she feels for him, although she likes him a great deal. He has told her he realizes she is too young to tie herself down to one boy, and wants her to see and go out with others, but says he will stand by on a chance of finally winning her love.

The other young man is modest and shy and seems also to care for her greatly, but has not said anything to her. Is she encouraging them wrongly in continuing her friendship with both? Both have asked for her picture. Shall she grant their request? The one young man's parents have invited her over to spend a Sunday and have dinner with them Should she offer to shake hands when the introductions are made? After dinner should she offer to assist her hostess with the dishes, there being only two boys in the family? Thanks so much for one of the nicest "columns." We read it eagerly and interestedly. ELSIE. My dear -Thank you.

Seventeen is very young to make such an important decision. Your daughter is wise to realize this fact. If the second boy knows that she has other friends, then she is playing fair and has no cause for worry. Today the giving of photographs is not considered the serious thing it was some years ago. And yet the girl who is not too liberal with her pictures less apt to repent her generosity at leisure.

When introduced she should shake hands with the boy's father and mother, but unless there are brothers and sisters much older it is unnecessary to greet them all in that way. By all means she should offer to help with the dishes. Do not be too insistent if it is the wish of the hostess not to take her guest into the kitchen. But it is always in order, when there is no maid, to proclaim one's willingness to help in the work at hand. HELEN WORTH.

Does Any Reader Know of Such School? Dear Helen Worth--Many come to you as to their fairy godmother. I place myself among them and bring to you my problem: Our boy must have discipline and order at this period of his life. He will soon be 15 years old. He is under no control. He has often expressed a desire to enter the Army.

Could you or any of your readers inform us whether there is any Army training school for boys of his age? I believe such a school would be his His father is a salvationer and cannot afford to pay much for him. Please let me hear from you as soon as possible. This is an urgent case. BOY'S MOTHER.

HELEN Move at Once and Give Family New Start. any reader WORTH. My dear "Mrs.

M. -Had you given your name and address it would have been possible to write in a personal letter many things regarding your problem which cannot be said in public print. Notwithstanding all the circumstances, one cannot help but feel that the man in the case has been more sinned against than sinning. It is a fearful thing, the hold which an unscrupulous woman may secure over a good-tempered, wellmeaning but weak-willed man. There are many factors in your particular case which make one feel sorry for the man.

Here is what I should do. First, try to realize every moment that there is a way out, and that together you two will find it. For your children's sake, and your own, you must summon courage to live, and to carry on. It is vitally important for you to move, and move far away from present location. Combining your training, with your husband's experience, an institutional job, with maintenance, would be ideal.

Your children are old enough now to take care of themselves: and you can earn far more by practicing your profession than by scrubbing floors and washing clothes, as you now do. Move. Sell your house at a loss, rent it, mortgage it, but get out! The whole family needs to be given a fresh start; and let it be made at least one hundred miles away! Try to, forgive, try to understand. Basically there is a gulf; you can fathom it if you try. Begin on a new life, warmed by the great love which so enriches (And his is a true love, I feel certain--the other thing, only a sordid and passing affair.) The wife always has the inside track: do not let any one else force you from your rightful position.

And, please, do write again, so that I may know just how things are with you. HELEN WORTH.

Sweaters decorated with lace and jewelry motifs are a new interest, Plenty of Sleep, Fresh Air and Exercise Will Prevent Dark Circles Under the Eyes By LOIS LEEDS Dark circles under the eyes are a common beauty blemish, and many of my readers have requested information in regard to getting rid of these. In the first place, loss of sleep is bound to bring these tell-tale circles, and where this is their cause obviiously the only remedy is to see to it that one gets plenty of rest.

Any extra physical strain or worry also shows itself first around the eves, and here again the preventive treatment is most effective. One must try not to arrive at the fatigue point. These blemishes seldom trouble the woman who gets her allotted amount of sleep and who keeps her health radiant through plenty of fresh air and exercise. However, there are some whose skin under the eyes seems merely to be darker than the rest of the complexion, and in such cases it is well to Piction. a little bleaching cream or In using creams pat the lotion under the eyes.

Could you tell me the cause of this? Do you think keeping the plant in a jardinier may have something to do with its not getting enough air? It has not been repotted for three years.

MRS. F. H. It is not the copper jardinier that is injuring your aspidistra. If the plant has not been repotted for three years it is evidently suffering for want of root room.

Better repot it at once, using composed of good garden loam, sand and manure in equal parts. Lois Leeds will answer beauty queries through the columns of The Eagle. For personal reply, stamped, addressed envelope MUST be inclosed. it will cause a smarting sensation just as does soap. Also pat it on very gently, as it is very easy to stretch the skin in such a way that premature eye wrinkles will be formed.

In massaging directly beneath the eyes do not use any pressure, just a soothing and stroking or patting motion. Press gently around the outer corners and upward, following the contour of the eyes. Puffiness under the eyes is often an accompaniment to the dark circles, and for this condition the following tion is good: Glycerine, 1 ounce; tannic acid, 5 grains; cologne water, 2 ounces. Mix and apply with absorbent cotton. It is a good idea to pat on a focd cream around the eyes, as it is here that wrinkles usually make their first appearance.

Those troubled with discolored or dark skin under the eyes may add a little to the cream, as this vill as a bleach. Use four drops of the peroxide to about one teaspoonful of the tissue cream. Pat on as directed leave on over night. Next morning, after washing the face, an astringent lotion to which a little peroxide has also been added may be patted on beneath the eyes with a bit of absorbnt cotton. ANSWERS TO QUERIES PAT--Ammonia in the water which you use for washing your face is not harmful and it does have a tendency to bleach the skin.

Yes, olive oil will help your dry hair. Before the shampoo apply the warm oil to the scalp and leave on for about an hour. After the shampoo put about a tablespoonful of the oil in the final rinsing water. The oil will not dissolve in the water, of course, but putting it in the water will help distribute it evenly over your hair. Wants to Reduce.

Dear Miss How much should a girl 19 years old, 5 feet 4 inches tall, weigh? (2) Also please tell me whether using reducing tablets will do any harm to the user. A VERY CONSTANT READER. Answer-(1) You should weigh 120 to 130 pounds. (2) Such methods of reducing are never advisable without the advice of a competent physician. The safe and Jane way to reduce is through diet and exercise, and even methods must be used with caution.

Many a young girl, has ruined her health by following too rigid a diet. Of course there is no harm in omitting rich desserts and pastry from your diet, and every one should eat a goodly amount of leafy vegetables. An abundance of fresh juicy fruits and leafy vegetables and daily exercise should be quite sufficient to keep a young girl's weight as low as it should be. Egg shell or white seems to be the glove alternative, with a preference for long slip-ons, Please tell me what to do to get rid of moles. The lawn of my country home has been completely ruined by them.

They eat the roots cf bulbs. JULIA B. L. Whether moles really eat the bulbs and other roots or whether they merely provide convenient tunnels for mice is a much-discussed question. In any event gardens suffer badly, some where value moles and abound.

MABEL H. Y. Good friable loam, six parts; chips of sandstone, one part; sand or road scrapings, two parts, and leafmold, one part.

To this add a moderate portion of well-decayed stable manure; mix well before using. This soil will suit the greater number of plants usually grown in a rock garden. It is, however, unsuitable for bog plants varieties which thrive best in a calcareous soil. Bog plants demand a soil in which there is a large percentage of peat, and lime-loving plants must have a soil containing lime or broken limestone, Please tell me of a variety of water plant to use in connection with a generous planting of our native water lily. Also name a few plants to grow about the border of the pool.

I am following your suggestion and making paper gardens. ALICE R. T. Hybrid nympheas are lovely with our native lilies. The pickerel weed is always interesting and the water buttercup is always decorative.

The typha and swamp mallow will be beautiful along the bank of the am pool. Phlox, trollius and spirea might also be about the edge of the water. Is there any rule for placing trees on a new lawn, also for ing a perennial border? I will have room for only one large border. MRS. THOMAS B.

Place your trees so they will not cast a shadow on the border, and select a space for the border where it will be in full sun. In planning a border which will contain both annuals and perennials where do you place the plants with gray foliage? Last year I started the border, and somehow my combinations, due, I suppose, to inexperience, certainly showed room for improvement. MRS. CHARLES G. J.

Plants with gray foliage should be associated with vivid colors, such as crimson, scarlet and pure blue. When planting varieties with brown or purple place them near yellow or follace, plants. Washing Cotton Blankets Wash in haste and there'll be no need for repentance as far as cotton blankets are concerned. Quick and careful laundering with a minimum of handling is necessary to preserve the tiny air cells that lend warmth to bed coverings of this type. Dissolve the soap in hot water and add cold water until the temperature is about 110 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

Immerse the blankets plunge them in and out of the water, squeezing the suds gently through the fabric without twisting or rubbing. If the blankets are badly soiled put them through two or three soap baths. Rinse thoroughly, in clear, warm water, and hang them where they can dry AS quickly as possible. If outdoor drying is practicable, hang the blankets on the line without squeezing and let them drip. Otherwise gently press out the water and hang them wellventilated room to dry.

Place them with one-half their weight on either side of the line so as to keep them in shape. Space for Cleaning Tools 308 100W same architectural ideals. Above is a two-story frame residence, designed in the Southern Colonial manner. The main portion, across which spreads the veranda, is supported at each end by a wing-the kitchen and service rooms in one, a sun porch in the other. A spacious entrance hall divides the house squarely in two.

At the left is the dining room and to the right the living room. Each of these rooms has a set in the center of an outside wall. A small breakfast room, adjoining the din- 00 ROOM ing room looks out upon the veranda. The second floor contains three bedrooms, a sewing room and a sleeping porch connecting with the master's bedroom, as also do two baths. Individual baths are provided for the other bedrooms.

From the sewing room a narrow stairway leads to a partially finished-off third floor, in which servants bedrooms might be located, or two servants' chambers could be contrived on the second in the I space marked "attic." Every well ordered household should contain a special closet for cleaning equipment. A convenient type of closet has a shelf placed about a foot from the top for oil, wax, soaps, and other cleansing and polishing preparations. At the bottom of the shelf are hooks for brooms, mops, brushes and cleaning cloths. The shelf should be high enough for the brooms to swing clear of the floor. In the ideal closet there is enough floor space to accommodate a vacuum cleaner, a carpet sweeper and a scrub pail.

The efficient housewife keeps her cleaning closet as spick and span as the kitchen sink. Each piece of equipment is put where it will be easy to remove and easy to return to its place. Mops are cleaned thoroughly after they are used; basins and pails are carefully, washed and dried. At frequent intervals everything is removed and walls, floors and shelves are scrubbed with hot water and soap. Novelty straws are in vogue, many of these being in tweed or knitted effects..
