would call voluntarily as soon as he
visits your city. Since you are cor
responding, a sufficient friendliness is
surely established to warrant that he
call. and 1t would be perfectly proper to
incidentally tell him that you would like
20 see him whenever he is in your city.
This would, of course, show that you
extend your hospitality to him whenever
he Is in your home city.

Olive oil is one of the best things

weight. If you will limit your diet to a
great deal of starchy foods, and drink
quantities of milk and water, l am sure

A good skin food massaged into the
flesh ought to fatten your arms, and
olive oil is as good as anything for thi-
purpose. However, any good skin food
on the market ought to improve the
condition of your arms.
