=. Although not originally intended as
such, Anna Payson Calls Power
Through Repose" has been given con-
siderable notoriety as the newest
beauty recipe" which is. Think you'll
have beauty and you'll have it." Har-
riet Hubbard Aver, who contributes a
syndicate letter of advice to some Sum
day newspapers, explains that the way
to avoid wrinkles is by the exercise of
power through repose. Anna Payson
Call" she says, has done more in her
little volume, Power Through Repose,'
Gittle, Brown & Co., Boston, to teach
us how to rest than any other person.
Before you may expect to smooth out
your wrinkles, you must learn how to
relax-how to rest" Mrs Aver is not

some time ago, called it The Gospel of

Rice, introduced Mrs. Wigs to her
thousands of friends, the Cabbage
Patch was held as undesirable a living
spot as Kentucky could show. Now, all
Louisville takes it's guests to see the
Cabbage Patch and to discover, if pos
sible, Mrs. Wigs, Miss Hazy, Lovey
Mary and all the rest; while every
traveller through Kentucky stops off at
