The appearance OF the Bishop and

prove an Improbable dialogue, and
they went in to luncheon.

Bishop, with Richard opposite. Mrs.

Mrs. Barton was negecting her food to

Conscious of this, Gail amused herself by
entering into discussion of the respective
merits of Euripides and Sophocles. The

The charm every actress knows

Every actress realizes that in loneliness nothing
can compare with skin of exquisite texture of
SOFT delicate bloom She knows that it is the purity
and clcarness of the skin which give lovely arms,
cleaning, satny neck, and soft, white hands,
their power to attract.
Every actress will tell you that she could not
possibly get this wonderful effect without the
cream bath. Mrs. James Brown Potter in Beauty
and Health says that this bath of cream is the
secret OF how actresses preserve the transparent
clearness and youthfulness of their skin so much
longer than other people.
