Dear Miss Grey: Can youtell me if pumice stone isgood for blackheads? Ifnot,what is? Thanking you.

A READER.A.—Pumice stone is considered

good for M.me skin troubles, but1 prefer to treat my face betterthan Ido the kitchen table, orthe stone steps. Steam your facewell, dry on soft towel, and ap-ply a good, pure face cream; mas-sage well, re-steam and re-mas-sage. Repeat several times aweek at bedtime, until the blark-heads are softened, and thengently press (not squeeze) out.

Dear Miss Grey: Pleasepublish in your column agood and quick freckle pre-scription. lam an actress,playing at a local theater,by request, and have readyour Intelligent replies, andhave been astounded at yourability. Would appreciate aspeedy reply, as I am leav-ing immediately. Yours,

MISS FRECKLES.A. — My experience with

freckles is that the cure is worse'than the affliction—if frecklesran he termed such. Every rem-ery I ever trad in my youthfuldays, while dimming the himspots, increased, or actuallymade, wrinkles. Finally, I gain-ed sense enough to prefer thefreckles; hut, in fact, never gotentirely rid of th« evidences of myyouthful folly. The skin thatfreckles is usually exceptionallyMcnsitive, and several times Idrew my own into a thousandknots by the applications I used.

s \u25a0 imillyI decided to just try notto get more freckles. So I useda pure face cream, and applied asimple fnce powder during thewindy seasons of the year. Kiceimwder, or talcum is harmless.

Dear Miss Grey: I am ayoung German boy. Havebeen in this country just oneyear. I am working at aplace where there are threegirls, and they all seem tohave a fancy for me. Formyself, there is only one Ireally care for, but when-ever I talk to one the othersare always around. I want toget away from them withouthurting their feelings, for IfI would do that it would hin-der my work, and I dependgreatly on my job. Now, MissGrey, can you tell me how to

approach her, and at the sametime drop the others? Thank-ing you. RUDOLPH.A.—Yon are quite a politic

(look that up in the dictionary)boy, aren't you? You convictyourself when you acknowledgeyou do not want to hurt some-one's feelings for fear of losingyour job. Do you honestly thinkthat is a recommendation to meto help you gain a girl who maysuffer later from that very faultof yours. Be truly kind from anunselfish motive, and you will bemore worthy the girl. Then youwill not need my help.

• .'. "Dear Mlbb Grey: • I read -. your solutions".to problems Jevery night, and I wista - you -

.•would be so kind as to helpme. \u25a0;;

I have been married onlyone month.' The first weekmy husband treated me fine;but now lie comes home mad

i nearly every night. 1 ask him. what's the matter, and hef won't answer. Miss Grey,S It very nearly breaks my

*<*heart, when I know 1 havenot done anything to causeIt.

I sit alone from morning\u25a0 tillnight, and when he comes

borne he is no company, andwon't let me go out with mygirl friends. Sundays he goesaway and stays all after-noon, and leaves me alone. I .can't stand this all my life,He thinks because I am mar-ried I am not supposed to goanywhere. He used to takeme to a dance before we weremarried, but now he won't.Please answer because I amheartbroken. Do you thinkhe is getting tired of me? '

A YOUNG BRIDE.—IH>n't be silly just because

you are in love with your husband,and he don't come up to what hepromised. It In no use to runaway from a problem. Try towork it out on th« home ground.Put aside your hurt feelings, andhave a quiet, very quiet, talk withhim. Give him a good dinner be-fore the talk, and have on yourprettiest dress. Above all, haveon a reasonable, and truly lovablestate of mind. . Tell him you arean individual now just as you werebefore you married. That you havea right to fresh air and sunshineand healthful exercise, and thathe need not expect you to sit athome while he goes off for a goodtime. Don't get angry, but statefacts kindly, and plainly. Ifyourgill friends are the right kind,there Is no reason why yon shouldnot go with them occasionally, andinvite them to your home. Hut, ifIwere you I would not run aroundto dances with anyone else. Tellhim you will give up that much,but you won't be a hermit. As theold preacher said: "Keep sweetand kam." It is just possible liehas some great worry on his mind.

Dear Miss Grey: What doyou think about this? A cer-tain young lady of our ac-quaintance, engaged to atraveling man, kissed himgood-bye as he departed onthe train. We all thoughtthis extremely out of place.What do you think of It?

—Honestly, I think it theirown business. Personally, I donot care for public exhibitions ofaffection, simply because the pub-lic don't have the right idea of it.But, if more kissing were done inpublic, and less In private, theworld would be a sight better.

Dear Miss Grey: Will youplease tell me how to proceedto adopt a child? To whathomes shall I go for one, andis it necessary for both manand wife to go? I also wantto know if a child can betaken care of without adopt-~ ing? Any information will begreatly apreciated. Sincerely,

\u25a0^ G. F.—Yon willfind the addresses

In any city directory, or telephonebook. Call them up and ask theirmethod. After the application Isin, one must allow the "Home" tomake investigation, for you knowit is not right to place a child in

• private home without that, andno sensible person will object. Achild can be taken on trial, orJust to be cared for for awhile.

Dear Miss Grey: Pleasetell me how to clean a silvermesh bag that has a white

"I Could No More Do Without My

clares Champion Long Distance

Swimmer.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29. —"Every woman should swim," sayiLottie Mayer, champion long-dis-tance swimmer of the world.

"I took my first plunge when Iwas three. My father is Prof.Fritz Mayer, who runs a big nuta-torium In Chicago, and who train-ed the American swimmers forthe last Olympic meet at Copen-hagen, In which America carriedoff practically all the swimmingevents.

"Why, I could no more do with-out my dally swim than the ordi-nary person could do withoutwashing bis face.

"Why should women swim? Be-cause it enhances their beautyand that is the height of women'sambition. Swimming is the mosthealthful exercise In the 'worldbecause it brings all the musclesand organs of the body into play.There is not the tax on the certainset of muscles that makes otherexercises exacting and frequentlyInjurious.

-^"If a woman would bave thelithe, willowy figure that DameFortune demands now, she shouldswim, using the side stroke. It de-velops grace and poise.

"The crawl stroke produces thewell molded tap«ring arms withthe dimples at the elbows, whilethe trudgeon develops the calvesand thighs.

"The woman who swims needhave no fear of child birth. Iknowfrom experience.

"I have a little girl six yearsold, and I Just received a letterfrom her grand-daddy that she haslearned to swim.

"My record of 26 miles In 5hours and 18 minutes, made in1908, in the Mississippi river stillstands as the long distance rec-ord of the world."

I AT THE TAGOMA

The tragic, gripping story ofJean Valjean, told stirringly Inthe wonderful book of "Lea Mls-erables," by Victor Hugo, wwtold by film characters at the Ta-coma theater last night to anaudience that packed the house.It was • delightful performancefrom beginning to end, and oneof the most costly film shows everbrought to Tacoiua.

The story of the play la, ofcourse, laid In France, and manyof the outdoor scenes have beentaken In the streets of Paris orother French cities. Every detailof scenic production of the two-mile film has been worked outwith the .skill of the world's bestmotion picture artists. The loverof motion picture plays will notregret having seen "Les Miser-ablen." There will be matineesWednesday and Saturday.

* AT THE PRINCESS"?\u2666 \u2666

New In theme and action —al-most unlike the average play thatis attempted by stock companies,"The Prince Chap," which open-ed a week's performance at thePrincess Sunday, proved a raretreat for the opening-day aud-iences. It is a dainty, clean playwith a pretty love story. ThereIs nothing harsh or wierd in thestory. No villain mars the plot,and no tragedy arises to stir theaudience to excitemnt. It's justa love story with a tiny littlemoral tacked on at the end.

A sculptor adopts the daughterof one of his models, who (lies

suddenly. He is in Paris, study-ing to make himself worthy ofthe love of a beautiful Americangirl. The girl calls on him at hisstudio and becomes Jealous andangry when the child calls herfoster-father "daddy." The en-gagement is broken, and ten yearslater the adopted daughter learnsthat she loves the "Prince," andthey marry.

George Zucco, as "The PrinceChap," has probably never donebetter work with the Princesscompany than he did Sunday.Miss Josephine Dillon, as Claudia,the adopted child, is splendid.Others in the company haveadapted themselves easily to thevarious characters with the resultof an unusually good production.

1 MELBOURNE f*• «Probably the most forceful ex-

pose of the white slave traffic, asit has existed in Chicago andother large eastern cities, everpresented in Tacoma, was Bhownat the Melbourne theater todayin the opening lecture- on "TheHorrors of the White Slave Traf-fic." The lecture is illustratedwith actual photographs taken inChicago by W. F. Callicott, whohas brought the lecture to Taco-ma. It is not a moving pictureshow, or pictures that are posedIn any way.

Callicott has received the en-dorsement of women's clubsthroughout the country on thelecture. The pictures will remainin Tacoma as long as patronagewarrants their production. Va-rious officers of women's clubsand civic clubs have been special-ly invited to hear the lecture.

Woman Movie Director isAnxious to Know Whether

Plays Should End Happily

LOIS WEBER.BY GKBTIUTDK M. PIUCE. -Tin should be a MAPI'V

ENDING to every ploy which thepublic Is invited to see!

The ending should not inter-fere with thi> artistic features ofthe play. If it is necessary tobring tears -to the; eyes of t \u25a0 thepublic, in .the last act and thelast scene, in order to carry theartistic idea > and the dramaticforce of the production, do it byall means! \u25a0 «. ; :, ."','\u25a0>..

These are the two opposingtheories which are "up" to LoisWeber to choose between.... >". r

The first, she claims. Is thetheory upon which the averagemoving | picture manager | goes.The, second is, she says, her own

I PANTAGES 1

Idea of the matter.Fortune or unfortunately, Lois

Weber is a producer of movingpicture plays. She Is one of thevery few women in the business,and she finds there's a snag, hereand there, along the road. Thlß"happy ending" question Is one ofthem.

"I write most of the plays Iproduce," she told me as I tulkedwith her In her little Californiadressing room at Hollywood tometime ego.

"I always have to consider thefinale, though. And too often Iam obliged to sacrifice aome ef-fect, artistic or dramatic, to makethe picture end happily.

"The average manager Deemsto think that's the essential. Idon't think bo; at any rate, notalwayß."

Pantages theater this weekpresentu three headlluor acts on asingle bill. Chief among themis the act of Alliston and Trucco,tango dancers. The others areAmeen Abou Hamid's Arabs andMeleno and company in "The In-dian Rustler." Other acts arethose of Anderson and Golnan;Pony Moore, Dancing Davy andFlfl; and the De Vole trio.

Miss Weber la the director ofthe Rex company; one of the Uni-versal film brands. She has beenwriting scenarios forseveral years.She wrote and directed "EyesThat See Not," "Far Away Fields"and "A Prophet Without Honor."

Is Miss Weber right or are th*managers right about the "happyending" Idea?

She would like to know.
