JoAa Srolrta-" I'm just waiting fol Mar hand
bite of cold lunch. | 60 in the house washday,
it smells like bone mill
Anty Druye Nonsense. Your wife washed with Nptha
soap to-day and all done hours ago She has
nice hot lunch for you and had time read and play the
piano besides And there's any bouy smell when
Fes-Napthas used
There was woman who made prayer
to be saved from washday with all its care.
Then she tried Fels-Naptha and quit pray
ing that particular prayer. 1t wasn't ex-
actly washday that she meant. What she
really did mean was to be saved from boil
ing clothes, with its resultant nauseous
steam and heat, and from breaking
hard rubbing.
Fels-Naptha answers that kind Of peti-
ton comp pletely, if you use it the
Fels-Naptha way Follow directions on
the red and green wrapper. For white
clothes you'll read: Soap the clothes, roll
and let them soak in cold or lukewarm
water for 20 minutes ,. TTL7n rub lightly,
rinse, hang out on the line. No, you
don't boil them; Fels-Naptha takes the
place Of that and hard rubbing, too.
Fels-Naptha has many other valuable
uses-washing dishes for instance. You'll
find directions for ali on the wrapper.
Be sure and follow them. @

Loretta'S Looking Glass

MATURE was good to you. She
~ cast you in her best mold.
She shaped your splendid
body in curves that delight, and
gave you lines that no sculptor has
ever eXcelled.
And you abuse your advantage.
l do not mean simply that you
change your. form with every
freakish change of fashion. You
do what is vastly worse. You show
1t off.
Since you were girl Of fifteen,
you have known that your figure
was beautiful. And you have known
little else so well. At that time
you began to cultivate the vanity
which has grown as your lovely
body assumed the added beauty Of
full development. And that vanity
like the bindweed that crawls
about healthy plant and squeezes
1t to death. has killed the fine flower
of modesty in you. .es.
1t is shameful that you exploit
your figure on every occasion. Sat-
isfyingly beautiful as a perfectly
formed woman is, you fail complete
ly to win the real admiration that
should come to you. ...sa
Every one who looks at you should
be glad at the completeness of your
physical equipment for living life at
its best.
But are they? No, you spoil their
enjoyment. You rob yourself of
their approval. You weary them

place yourself in a position where
you cannot escape being seen. If
you imagine that your maneuvers
are not understood, you are mis-
taken. Women read you perfectly.
And men? II they cannot read
you, you may rest assured that they
are given a key to enlightenment
by the women whom you disgust.
But they do not need 1t. Nothing
tires them more than the way you
flaunt your charm. They get eye
sick with 1t, You insist upon push
ing your beautiful figure upon their
notice by the way you dress 1t, the
way your move 1t. the way you
stand it still in an advantageous
place till they are surfeited. They
very naturally conclude that since
you glorify one charm so exclusive
ly. so persistentIy. it must be the
only one you possess. s
And more, you make them turn
to less beautiful girls, less showily
dressed, by the very shock of en-
countering your lack of modesty.
They seek the quiet, demure little
girls as restoratives to their belief
that girls can be modest and lady
like. 81
You see, your twenty-five dollar
corset on your Venus-like figure is
