To Keep Young and Attractive
BY LILLIAN YOUNG.

If Cleanliness is next to goodness it
is certainly also first aid to beauty
and health, and while the inference may
sound insulting. it is nevertheless perfect
ly true that not enough attention is given
to the bath in this hurry rushing age Of
ours. A daily plunge and dab with cold
cream will not accomplish absolute clean
Illness. There must be continued scrub
bings and rinsings and some attention to
special baths.
When it is considered that two pints
of waste matter are thrown off daily
through the sweat glands of healthy
body and that these same little glands
help to maintain an equable temperature
of the body, it will be understood how
necessary it is that the skin should be
kept scrupulOusly clean so that the
glands may not become clogged. There Is
no danger, as many suppose. that fire.
quent bathing destroys the oils of the
skin. 1t is impure soaps that do this, but
on the contrary, bathing with rub

induces the oil to flow more freely.
For the bath ordinary the water should

Only the most hardened skins can safely
stand friction with the harsh Turkish

to use it directly on the skin.

Wells and Neckbands.

The veil Of net or lace, plain or figured,
is gathered at the lower edge to a
neckband of satin ribbon which fastens
with clamps at the back and therefore
does away with the necessity for In
visible hairpins and small barrettes and
all the other tiresome things that wom-
en- have to use in order to adjust their
wells with neatness and accuracy:
The top edge of the veil is gathered
into another band of ribbon. which is
finished with a small fiat bow at the
back and fastened with clamps.
One can see for herself how easy
the adjustment is and how many pos
sibilities there are in such veil. For
instance. one can wear plain nat
without trimming and provide It with a
crown band by using the ribbon to
which the upper edge of the vel Is
gathered and provide neckband in
Imitation OF the velvet ribbons that
are now tied under the chin or behind
the ear. to which the lower edge is
gathered.
The hatband Is not SO important as
the neck ribbon, which Is attached to
the lower edge of the veil, because
many women need something to cover
the hollowness in the neck when they
wear a low gown. and all women look
somewhat the better by wearing, on
the street, some kind OF accessory be-
low the chin. 1t makes the neck look
less naked.

For fox or man the better plan,
With unknown danger near.
Is to go home and no more roam
Until the way is clear.
That is what Reddy Fox thinks. The
thought popped right into his head when
Jimmy Skunk told him that the half
eaten chicken had been left on the Green
Meadows by some one with teeth and
feet very like Reddy's own. but bigger.
Reddy had pretended not to believe it.
'Pooh." said he. How do you know
that this stranger has feet like mine. only
bigger. You haven't seen him. have

head. mo, 1 haven't seen him and 1
don't need to know that. His foot
prints are right over here in the sand.
Come, look for yourself, Reddy Fox
'No, thanks said Reddy, hastily.
The fact is I have some very impor-
tant matters to look after in the Green
Forest, and I must hurry along. You'll
excuse me, won't you, Jimmy Skunk? If
you say that there are footprints like
mine. only larger, of course l believe it.
I would stop to look at them if l could,
but I find that I am already very late.
By the way, if you will look q, little
closer, at these footprints ! think you will
find that they were made by dog. I'm
sorry l can't wait for you, but you are
such a slow walker that / really haven't
the time. Let me know if you find out
anything about this stranger" And with
that he started off for the Green Forest.
Jimmy Skunk grinned, for he knew that
Reddy had nothing more important to
attend to than to get away as fast as he
could from a place which he felt might
be dangerous.
Don't fool yourself, Reddy Fox, by
thinking don't know the footprints Of a
dog whensI see them. Besides. I smelled
of them, and they don't smell of dogr'

out Of hearing.
Jimmy watched Reddy out of sight and
chuckled he saw Reddy keep turning
to look over his shoulder as if he expect
ed to find something terrible at his heels.
'Pd never run away until / knew what
was running from. exclaimed Jimmy
with the greatest scorn. did you ever

With Reddy gone, Jimmy's thoughts
came back to the queer things which
were driving all the happiness from the

Fur Storage
and Insurance.

Furs are too valuable to be intrusted
to any ordinary care. The best and
safest way is to let us place them in our
cold storage vaults, where the garments
hang separately on specially designed
hooks and the separate pieces and sets
are carefully stored individually. The
temperature is kept at low minimum,
which is recognized as the most perfect
protection. Apparel, rugs, draperies, ETC.,
will also be received for storage. The
charges are very moderate, the amount
of protection afforded given consideration.
