FOXY Partisan.

A story going the rounds is OF
thrifty Partisan who to save the ex-
rense of safety deposit during a
months vacation sent his jewels and
yaluables to the police station by a
friend who pretended to have found
them. But when the owner appeared
to claim them the last time the trick
was exposed by the register, which
showed that the same jewels were
brought in and claimed on the same
dates the year before by the same
finder and the same claimant. The
curious thing about this story is that
a thrifty man would think of using
the police as a safety vault. But
then Partisan police may be different.

Only the exereme tips should be taken
off.
A very little systematic exercise
daily is much beer than none. Even
five minutes will work wonders. APP
naratus is not at all necessary, and the
exercise should be adapted to the lndl-
vidual. Nervous people, for instance,
will be most benefited by taking their
athletics slowly.
There was a time when women
thought they could net have a pretty
fqure unless they were uncomfortable.
Now all beauty doctors emphazise the
fact that discomfort means ugiiness.
Comfort and health go hand in hand
and beauty is impossible without
health. Any physical discomfort. more
over gives a strained expression to
the face and tends to bring that bette
uoir of womankind, wrinkles.

Sc New Poems of the KipIineerque Kind. 81

There is some grim humor in the
Two Kopjes which deals with the ex.
perience in fighting in the south
African hills. Part of the poem fol
lows:
Only two African kopjes,
Only the cart-tracks that wind
Empty and open between 'em,
Only the Transvaal behind;
Only an Aldershot column
Marching to conquer the land .
Only sudden and solemn
Visit, unarmeG, TO the Rand
Then scorn not the African kopje,
The kopje that smiles in the heat,
The wholly unoccupied kopje,
The home of Cornelius and Piet.
You can never be sure of your kopje,
But of this be you blooming well sure:
A kopje is always a kopje,
And a boojer is always boer!
Then mock not the African kopje,
But take off your hat to the same,
The patient, impartial old kopje,
The kopje that taught us the game!
For all hat we know in the columns,
And all they've forgot on the staff,
We learned at the fight o. Two Kopjes,
Which lasted two years an a half

Toilet Hints.

Apply to the eyebrows each night "a
mixture of cocoanut oil and vaseline.
and the same may be used for the eye
lashes unless it causes the eyes to
smart and sting, as it does some, in
which case the cocoanut oil alone
should be used.
A little salt dissolved in warm water
is recommended for eyelids Redeemed
by the wind About quarter of a
saltspoonful to half a cup of water is
the proper proportion.
A tiny brush, sold for that purpose,
should be used for the eyebrows each
day. The eyebrows should never be
cut. The shape would be spoiled en-
tirely by so doing. In the case of chill
dren the eyelashes may be clipped
once month to assist their growth.
