The true pore, anatomically speaking, is not visible. It is the opening of the sweat duct within the skin, and passes from the subcutaneous sWieat glands to the skin surface. The pore that is so often spoken of, for instance, when enlarged pores are discussed, is not really a pore at all. This little visible open ing is in reality a "follicle" -- the follicle of baby hair, the "bloom" on the complexion. gvytnfthrv**' 1 •' • * ^ n,*vif^.-,*iri'*i«-ir*~'<fyTi -V-ip-• a<Wwvvwvi<Vir»r»i"ii^nr~grv-^rwn»r^xru:M% Phone McHenry 451-# v-3v returned on August 27, the possessor j dress of sweetheart blue and car*; as ye»pr*re! i t . of four stars for service in major battles and the Presidential Citation.

Blocking Garment To "block" a new or newlywashed hand-knit garment, here is an easy method: Sprinkle two heavy bath towels slightly and spread the garment between them, pulling to desired measurements and pinning to shape. (Before washing, it is handy to lay garment on paper or cloth and draw outline to use in reshaping.) Cover with a board or other firm, fiat surface. Weight this down and leave until the garment is dry. A light steam-pressing -- ried a colonial bouquet of .whit# gladioli. Her veil \yas attached to a halo of white glads.

Treatment for each of these conditions is taken up here. Follow the instructions closely, and you will have no difficulty. As an extra precaution-- whatever surface or old finish you may be painting over should be clean and free from wax, grease, or any other foreign matter. Rewet or muddy, dry them slowly at room warmth--never close to a stove or radiator--and brush clean when dry. When a wool garment gets a rest after a day or two of wear, the wool springs back and some wrinkles drop out -- so less pressing is needed. - Klmed for Aatler Mount Wister, 11,480-foot peak in Wyoming's Teton range, is named for Owen Wister, author of "The Virginian." move wax an<!'grease thoroug! with turpentine before you do any painting.
