know one actress who says her
success is due to the fact that she
owns such wonderfully attractive
shoulders, so that she can wear the
lowest cut gown allowed by good
taste, and carry 1t well. Her face is
not pretty, she says; but her make
up covers most Of that and enlarges
her eyes. 1t is her shoulders that
charm.
If your shoulders are too thin, you
will find that cream that will make
flesh will be beneficial. It should be
rubbed in every night, or once a day
at least, and the shoulders mas
saged gently with the hands, with a
rotary motion that will bring the
flesh-creating blood to the surface to
feed the tissues.
Using a cream containing cucum-
Der juice in some form will make
the skin white and fine. An excellent

Deep breathing exercises develop

every woman is to learn to swim,
and to do it often, as it is the best

swimming motions standing in your

STORY ".

Johnnle and the Tame Squirrel.
Johnnie Bushytail was lonesome
Grandpa and Grandma Lghtfoot had
gone to see some cousins who lived
away of In the woods, and had taken
Billie Bushytail and Jennie Chipmunk
with them. The reason they did not
take johnnie was because he had a
sore throat and they thought it best
for him to stay at home.
Never mind. Johnnie" Jennie had
said when all the family were going
away, II win bring you some hickory
nuts with sugar and sassafras on
when we come back" and the little
orphan chipmunk smiled In such q
Jolly way that Johnnie did not feel
so lonesome.
But after Jennie, Grandpa, Grand
ma and Billie had been gone nearly
two hours johnnie felt lonesome
again. It was quite warm outside the
nest, 20 he thought he would jump
about from one branch to another.
He did SO, and felt much better. All
1t once he saw another squirrel on
the ground at the foot OF the tree.
At drst Johnnie thought it was his
Grandpa who had come back, but he
soon saw that It was much younger
squirrel than old Mr.. Lghtfoot.
'Chip, chip!" called Johnnie, for
that was his way OF saying "Hello!''
Then he went on, Hello, down there!
what are you doing?"
Hello, up there!' answered the
other squirrel, looking up. what are
you doing there!"
