CARoLINBs "TRIP.
6By Virginia Vale. )

ssssF < By Virginia NaIe.J
 Once upon time there was little
 girl named Caroline. She was just
 eight years old and her mother had
 promised that during her next school
 vacation she might go and visit her
 Aunt Abbie and that she could make
 the trip alone on the train
 It was not a long Journey but it
 seemed a great thing to Caroline to
 go all by herself and buy her own
 ticket without mothers help.
 It seemed the ahappiest moment of her life when her mother told her that she could start for her Aunt's the next day and that Auntie would meet her at the station
 Mother helped her pack her small suit case and they started for the train. Caroline with one hand tight in her suit case.
 She had to swallow pretty hard when she kissed her mother and said good bye, for something seemed to come up in her throat and tears al-
 most came. Her mother said: Have a nice visit dear and come home If you get sick, won't you2' Caroline promised and kissed her mother again, waved a farewell and the train started. Things lief past the window so fast that at first she could l hardly make them seem real, but at last she settled down to enjoy heF tI1p. A lady in the seat in front handed her a big red apple and another lady gave her three chocolate drops, so before she knew it the conductor was calling the name of the station where she was to get off and she saw her
 Auntie watching for her on the plat form.
 Aunt Abbie had the things she liked best for supper and Uncle and Auntie played several games with her until it was time to go to ped As she crept into bed she did wish her mother was there SO she could Kill her three times as she always did be- fore she went to sleep, but she Kisse, her hand and blew the kisses toward fine south. for that was the way Auntie had told her home was and soon she was fast asleep.
 The next morning she helped wipe the dishes and then Auntie took her fo q toy shop and bought her new doll and gave her an ice cream soda. After they had arrived back home Car oline went up stairs, took her suit case and doll and came down again.
 .sAunt Abbie, want to go home,
 she said.
 or course Aunt Abbie was surprised 1 but only said.. "Al right my dear, will go with you to the station When she reached her town she walked quickly home. and knocked al inc door. Her mother opened it and with a glad cry, Caroline sprung into her mothers arm, while her mother said: .sHomesick dearz" Caroline only answered by kissing her mother over 1 and over.

She lives in Paris, and earns her sliv- ing by posing, for she is a professional model. But she is a true Algerian. and a splendid type of the luxurious, exotic type that it's beauty stands for.
 asked her how she kept herself so charming. and her reply was:
 tsIn Algeria. little children are brought up to think more of the beau ty and care of their bodies than their faces
 ssThe body of an Algerian child of the better class is amointed and wash ed with great care For instance, we do not use soap there. We use bath powder instead. This is put into lit tie bags and used in the bath.
 We use palm oil forg anointing our bodies, which is done after each bath We knead and massage the body with care, and pat and push each muscle and siuew into place
 That is why we are beautiful in Algeria. We pay no attention to our faces. If our bodies are lovely, our faces take care of themselves. That Is good, Iog1cs n'est-ce pas ?'
