One of the manifesta- tions of this extreme form of expres- sion, as evidenced in the talk of al- most any small group consists in the over-use of adjectives -and adverbs. Many girls use these parts of speech carelessly, and more frequéiitly than they are aware of. The words lovely, delicious, won- derful, sweet, darling, pretty, dear, cite, cunning, and many others that you can hear for yourself in any or- dinary conversation are constantly misused. Look up their definitions for yourself. The result will cure you of a pernicious habit. It is a schoolgirl habit, and it will likely die after a few years of use, when the stern realities of life call for stronger and more sensible words. - But if you can prevent your vocabulary from passing through this stage, do so by all means. An older person who makes the tse of misapplied adjec- tives and adverbs runs the risk of being considered gushing and insin- cere. Now, it is nol required that you take all the personality out of your conversation. The purist in conver- sation is sometimes tiring, and it must be admitted that the enthu- siasm of the moment will make us use words that would not stand the severe light of criticism. But do not get the habit of talking in the ex- tremes that rob all conversation of dignity. Do not over-use the ad- verbs and the adjectives that should add. to the value of a senterice, not detract from it. : If you use the word awful for the description of a bow of ribbon, what are you going to do when you are de- scribing the terrors of war? After all, the main thing to observe is the consistent and relative value of words. Keep your convgrsation with- in control and natural bounds. Do not scream out silly words that con- tribute nothing but a foolish chat- ter to your information. Try to use the words here discussed as little as possible. There is a place for "dear," but it is not in a conversation about a little toy soldier. "Darling'* should never be used to modify the word "buckle"; and so on; you can tak ach offense and analyze it out of ex- iitence. "The extreme in conversation is fre- quently a sign of youth; it is notice- able in the taik of women who have done very little reading and on a few words gathered .in their school- days try to fill the démands of all kinds of conversation. To be able to use the right word at the right time, pot pedantically but naturally, is a charm worth cultivating. Counsel to June Brides This is the month of marriages. Many young girls are- going into matrimony head-first. The follow- ing advice from the editor of Pictor- ial Review will guide them: Among my friends is a man whose married life is so happy that all who know him comment on the fact. Yet this man tells me that the first six months of marriage was a veritable hell upon earth for both him and his wife. His bride had been petted and spoiled by family and friends. She expected Mr. Young Husband to con- ter how much it interfered with his business or how tired he was when he came home. But he never had been an impas- sioned lover, and he was nbt exaétly a heroic figure in his chosen profes- sion." When his bride discovered that {he was common clay, she had to tell him how disdppointed she was. Once she went even further and tofd him she could not understand how she had been so blind as to marry a man who did not share a single one of her tastes and ambitions! Then Mr. Young Husband talked back. He said she had had ample time during a two years' engagement to discover his short comings. He had never posed nor masqueraded. On - this occasion some sharp speeches were exchanged, never- theless what the husband have sunk deep into his for soon afterward, she came te to "talk it over," She had learned - tinue the agreeable process, no mat-| Reading where all the tronble lay. She had found the cause of all the unpleasant scenes which were slowly but-sur@ly undermining their marital happiness. She had been trying to make her husband fit her ideals, instead of fit ting her ideals to her husband. The average girl idealizes the man she loves too much for her good and his. . She endows him with qualities picked at random from books and plays. She decides, in an entirely feminine and inconsistent fashion, "I don't care where it is," saig Elena from within hiswarm. that he is what she would have bim be, and when he refuses to climb upon her self-erected pedéstal, she does one of two things--informs him that he is not the man she thought he was, or shegfits her ideals to the man she has married. 5 And the last is not a hard thing to do. If only young wives would earnestly try to uncover the true af titude of the men they have marriea toward marriage, toward love, to ward parenthood, there would be less marital discord, less marital wrecks strewn along the coast of content- ment. It's not easy to make a man over, even through love, but it is easy to bring out the better side of his nature--just by fitting your ideals to him. He wants to live up to the best in himgplf. It is not al ways possible for him to live up to the ideals you have chosen to endow him with. But give him a chance! Start with your marriage day! Realize that 0 him marriage is just as sacred, just as romantic as it-is to you! Then, having married him, believe that the real man you find can make you fully as happy as the dream man you walked with during those wonderful days of wooing and winning! If You Would be Beautiful The complexion requires different treatment in spring and summer than in fall and winter. In the one ease it is exposed to the elements of wind and sun, and in the latter to extremes of cold out of heat indoors. Steam heat is the greatest menace to which the skin can be subjected, and only most consistent care can counteract its ravages, and wister, anyhow, is a greater grower of wrinkles than summer. Water should be applied freely during steam heat time, while astringent lotions should be avoided entirely. In the springtime, however, water treatment may be begun Wash the face thoroughly at night unless you have been out in the wind, when the grime should be wip- ed off with cold cream, as in winter: then bathe the face in tepid water with soap and rinse thoroughly. Dabble the! face with cream, neve rub it in, for rubbing makes sagging muscles and flabby skin, while pat ting strengthens tissues. Wipe with a soft cloth and pat in a skin food to je left over night. Be wary of the skin food and lL eream you use; for some of them, aside from injurious ingredients they may contain, are more drying than others, and therefore have precisely the opposite effect desired. For ex- ample, if the skin is tight and dry an ointment made' of oil of sweet al- monds, four ounces; white wax, one ounce; rosewater, four ounces, and one ounce of spermaceti is delight- ful in effect; but if the skin if loose, the pores large, and the surface ofly then an astringent cream 'made hy crushing four dozen almonds in a pint of rosewuter should be substi tuted. If the skin is excessively oily add a half ounce of alum.

Farliest among them, according to Herodotus, was the son of Croesus. The boy had been dumb from his birth (the most improbable feature of the story), and inquired of the oracle at Delphi about him. It warned him not to de- sire that the boy could speak, since that would first happen on a day of disaster. When Sardis was taken, a Persian, not recognizing ~~ Croesus, was about to kill him. The son cried out in terror, "Man, do not kill Oroe- sus."
