No Need Being Old or
Wrinkled Before IS

Lillian Russell says any women who
has wrinkles before she's IS is herself
responsible for them. Sunshine and
fresh air she considers more valuable
as complexion preserverS than nos
trums and cosmetics
The chief objection to cosmetics IL
that at best they only temporarily
cover up defects. There are certain
true aids to Nature. which may be ap-
piled with directly opposite effect Or
dinary nercolized wax. for instance,
actually removes a bad or oldish COM
plexion, by gradually. almost imper-
ceptibly. peeling of the wornout scarf
skin. Just one ounce, procura BILE at
any drug store, will soon unveil an en-
tirely new and natural complexion,
with an exquisite girlish color. OF
course cutaneous blemishes like pin-
pies. freckles, fine lines. moth patches,
liver spots, disappear with the dis
carded skin.
To prevent or remove wrinkles. a
face bath which also produces natural
results, is made by dissolving an ounce
of powdered saXolite in a half pint

For The Times Children
Just Before It's Bedtime
HILDA AND HER GRANDMOTHER.

IDA lived all alone with her OLD
IL grandmother, who was blind,
They were very poor and
Hilda had to work hard at her
spinning wheel to keep them from
starving and freezing in the winter.
In the summer she could plant her
garden, and the vegetables kept them
In food. Hilda also planted flowers and
sold them in the town. But Hilda did
not tell her grandmother they were 90
poor. She made her think they had q
beautiful home with broad lands where
beautiful trees and flowers grew.
In the river near the house Hilda told
her grandmother there were many gold
fish and she would sit on the bank and
picture to her grandmothers sightless
eyes a beautiful waterfall and a foun-
tain which was In the garden Of their
grand home
But why do you spin so late at night
IL We are so rich?" asked the old grand
mother one day.
Because I am the only one In the
country that can make such beautiful
cloth for the king, grandmother, and
even IL we are rich cannot refuse to
spin and weave for the King when he
asks me to, now can 1?''
But one day in the winter all the
food had been eaten for breakfast
excepting a loaf OF bread. and Hilda
had not eaten at all for whole day,
trying to save enough to care for
her grandmother and hoping that she
would be able to get to the town and
sell her cloth before the loaf was
gene.
But the snow was so deep and the
weather so cold she had almost de-

town, and the grandmother was ask

where they were sitting and why

made one more attempt. There Is

but II you are cold let me put your
big fur coat about you. 1t Is all lined
with soft silk. but the silk will feel
cold. so I will put a blanket next
to you and the fur coat over IT,"
Hilda took the blanket from around
her shoulders and wrapped II round
her grandmother, and put the skin OF
a goat which was over the door to
keep out the wind over that. The
fire had gone out. for there was no
more wood. but a candle was left,
and this Hilda lighted and drew her
nearer to the fireplace.
Now you will soon be warmer.
she said, holding the
cardle close to the old lady so she
could feel the warmth from the
flame.
Poor Hilda shivered herself but she
went on with her spinning until her
grandmother fell asleep and then she |
sat down close beside her without
awakening her and drew the ends Of
the covering about her.
She could feel the warmth OF her |
body and soon she felt !
a drowsy feeling creeping over her. |

These queer little men had covered the

looked at her dress; IL was no longer

grandmother was really wearing the fur

Hilda stood up and rubbed her eyes.

for her grandmother. Everything was

They were gone.
But now that everything was real and
they really had nice warm clothes and
a good dinner, Hilda could not tell her
grandmother about their riches and
their beautiful home as she did when
they had nothing.
This is a better dinner than we have
had for long time" her grandmother
said. Where did you get 1t, and this

The goblins are little men. They
wear pointed caps and shoes and suits

VIZ HEN David Belasco began a
An few weeks ago to make ar

friend Daniel Frohman. and in the
course Of their conversation regarding
this situation In which Mr.. Belasco

the result was an arrangement with
