the soft part from two

then squeeze through a hair sieve: to
half a t%eacupful of this add a teaspoon
ful of glycerine and five drops of salt
cylic acid; both the latter are preserva-

hands and throat, rinsing afterward.
The clean, soft feeling of the skin will

toes are ripe and plentiful they are ex-
cellent to remove freckles and muddiness

subjects in her kingdom who Were born
years before she saw the light, and who
remember other monarchs of the English
throne before her. Mrs. Margaret Neve,
a bright, vivacious old lady of 105, is
probably the oldest subject in Great
Britain. She resides in Guernsey not far
