BEAUTY HINTS

However fine the stoicism which
enables you to smile at pain and
philosophically contemplate the
speeding of the years, your courage
fails at the discovery of a wrinkle!
And naturally! For nothing is so
devastating as the wrinkle which
hasn't even a smile as it's excuse for
being. Smiling wrinkles are not
really a blemish. They add a GER
tain charm and a mark of charac-
ter which is quite attractive.
Oil Needed.
Your skin is more dry in winter
than in summer, and since a dry
skin wrinkles more quickly than one
rich in fats, winter is the wrinkle
producing season. Thus if you
would be wise in the ways of beauty
you will begin, in fall, a process OF
skin fabrication, or massage.
A two or three-minute massage
nightly is quite enough to keep the
skin supple and resistant. Before
beginning the massage cleanse your
face thoroughly with cleansing
cream or with soap and hot water.
Dry and then coat lightly with skin
food. Begin manipulations on your
forehead, putting the thumbs on the
temples and the tips of the fingers
SO they meet at the center of the
forehead. With a circular move
ment move them outward and up
ward. Repeat five times pressing
very lightly.
Use Ice.
To correct the lines from the sides
of the hose and give tone to the
cheek put the fingers of both hands
on the cheeks with the tip near the
chin and pass over the cheek to
the hair line with a circular move
ment. This should be repeated if
teen times.
The lines about the eyes require
the most gentle treatment. Work
from the lose out with a very ligh'
touch.
Following the massage remove al
of the remaining skin food from
the surface of your skin. If it is
convenient run a piece of ice over
your face to close the pores and tone
up the skin. then apply a very light
coating of cream.

WHEN A WOMAN TELLS
BY RUTH AGNES ABELING

II thought at first 1t was you
thank God, it wasn't"
The u was coming brightly
through the windows near my bed
when I opened my eyes and felt
under my pillow for the note which
had been flung through my window
last night.
1 read it and then read it over
again. There was no mistaking who
it was from and what it meant. L
found a certain pleasure in know
ing that Tom was still interested
enough to care whether I spent my
time badly or well-but / wondered
what had brought him to the Ames
gardens so late last night that he
saw what happened there.
1 intended to keep that little note.
for somehow 1t seemed to mark a
milestone of my existence.
In it 1 could hear Tom say, with
that deep indrawing of breath, which
is characteristic of him, well,
you're safe" And l felt a little bit
proud.
When I reached the breakfast
room, Lila Ames was there alone.
toying with fruit and some notes.
I'm afraid you didn't sleep well
last night saw a light in your
room ever so late-too late for a girl
who wants to keep her freshness!"
Mrs. Ames attempted to be light,
but there was something serious and
unusual about her eyes
1T was too fine to sleep last
night" / could hear the artifciality
in my voice.
We finished the meal in silence.

of letters had been disposed of that

HOROSCOPE
The stars inclin but DO not compel

Again good and evil stars contend,
according to astrology. While Venus,
Jupiter and Neptune are in benehc
aspect Uranus, Saturn and Mercury
are adverse.
1t is not a lucky day for travelling,
Tor there may be delays and even
accidents
The stars seem to promise great
power for r who will organize
for high purposes. there will be
many that retard progress.
Statesmen and men in high place
are warned that the planetary gov
eminent indicates that there is dan
ger in the activities of women who
profess high purposes, but work out
side of group movements.
Uranus is in an aspect supposed
to encourage intrigue and double
dealing on the part of ome
While this configuration prevails
it is well for women who r en-
gagged in public work to take cog
nizance of their exact attainments,
for they must give a good account,
if they are to promote the high
ideals of political equality.
Although Venus smiles on the
world today it is not a lucky rule
for love affairs, making for suscepti-
bility and Irritation that mean moth
ing.
Theatres and places of amusement
will suffer severely not only ON ac-
count of the warm weather, but be-
because people must save their
money.
Farmers have the forecast of
progress in agricultural methods,
but they will suffer from difficulties
attending the disposal of their crops.
Jupiter and Saturn in the seventh
house seem to promise much for the
revival of foreign trade.
Mexico is still subject to a plane
tary rule that encourages revolution
airy u~prisings, but conditions should
improve after an upward event.
Persona whose birthdate it is
should not make any important
changes in the coming year, but
should pursue routine occupations.
The young will woo, but there will
be peril in the love-making of older
persons.

toy tracks and switches that went

to have any idea Of how to play
with mechanical TOYS. but she liked
TIE glitter and clatter of the tin
tracks as she pulled them out on the
floor.
Mother Taylor watched her curl
ously, and I watched Mother Taylor
while I worked. Because of u talk
she had at least lost her uncomfort-
able feeling towards the child.
"Are you going to bring her
mother here to stop gossip" she
asked finally.
NO" I said quietly. IF I had any
good reason for bringing Mrs. An
derson 1 would, but she would find
it hard to leave her family"
Another silence.
II suppose since you find it so I'M
pleasant here you'll be going back
to the city?"

thought of that, but 1 shan't. I've
just finished fixing up this house.
I'm perfectly comfortable here and
Connie is improving every day. It's
cowardly to run. 1t looks guilty too
so I'll stay. More than that, Colin
is coming again-if you'll let him
have a room in your house."
