pick up buckets and so to the well for

property moved the fence back about
ten feet from where it originally stood.

fence and made straight for it. Walk

TOILET HINTS FOR MY LADY
Suggestions for Proper Care Of the

To keep hair in curl and at the same
time impart a delightful fragrance to
the entire couture, dampen 1t with CO.
logne water before winding 1t on the

It is quite dry. Avoid any curling
fluid containing gum arabic, as it
leaves a white powder when dry,

Of the hair.
Scrim is the most sanitary material
for face cloths. This cloth is porous
and free from lint, allowing a free cir,
culation of air. 1t also admits Of
quick and effective washing and dry
