Our Beauty Hints.
Notwithstanding wrinkles from
the face is really a cinch. 1t isn't
necessary to wear a mask. although
you can do this if you think it will
improve your looks to any great ex-
tent The simple way is to grasp
the skin firmly an inch or two north
east of the wrinkle and pull it taut
where the wrinkle was and iron with
a hot flatiron for several minutes.
The method is the same as that used
by tailors in pressing trousers. When
the wrinkle appears again the opera
ton should be repeated.
Lulu-We hardly know what to say
to you, Lulu. If nature has placed a
wart upon your nose, nature probably
knew what she was doing and you had
better leave it alone. The only sure
way that we know of to remove wart
on the nose so that it will not come
back is to hold the nose under dried
beef cutter. OF course, if you consider
your nose a valuable asset to your per-
sonal appearance, this treatment
would be rather expensive and drastic,
but if you don't care much about your
nose, try it.

Well, Why Notc
Rhymer Byron was a. rake
Shakespeare often hit the bottle;
Pouring liquor down his throttle;
Poe was picked night and day;
"Oh. you kid - was Villon's war cry;
Take the list across the way,
And the same was not a far cry;
Goldsmith never had a cent.
Shelley jumped his board and lodging;
Homer never paid his rent,
Up and down the highway lodging;
Same old bunch across the slope,
Little coin-but game to blow it
Seems to me from all this dope
l, too, ought to be a poet.
