USE PERFUME TO
SUIT YOUR TYPE
BY NINE. MOREAU

PARIS-Your perfume my dear!
Are you using just the one which
you should, considering that you are
the kind Of a girl you are?
There is-if you have but the
patience to seek it-some perfume
which expresses just you! You, in
all Of your delicate loveliness; you,
with your mysterious oriental
charm!
There is a street in the native
quarter Of Tunis, Souk-el-Attarine,
in which you might watch yelled
ladies holding out their hands while
the wise old scent-seller touches
their warm skin with the damp
stopper of one oddly shaped bottle
after another. Each is delicately
sriffed and then a choice, is made:
tho precious drops are poured into
a tiny phial which is weighed and
sold according to its weight.
Thus the beauties of Tunis express
themselves in the fragrance which
clings to their c~raperies:
So a you.
Are you rather the lean, eager,
thin figured person who prefers
reading and thinking to dancing and
flirting? Then by all means use old
fashioned lavender water or lilac.
If you're a blond, one of those vi
vacious blends with a tang and a bit
of daring wouldn't altar Of roses,
concentrated violet, or gardenia,
tell the story? 1t would be you!
Temperament? Dark hair but
quite alive? Then try Jasmine or
carnation, perhaps geranium, even
a mixture of the three, and see If
it isn't just exactly like you.
But for the dangerous lovely
beauty, reposeful exterior, with a
bit of fire s~lumberlng inside-tube-
rose! All, yes! You'll love tuberose.
and everyone will love it about you,
because it won't quarrel with your
personality. 1t will be Just-you!

logs because it made the room so
much more inviting. l never liked
a house without at least one tiny
open fireplace, and never lived in
one that did not have 1t,
The fireplace was piled with fresh
wood now, the logs covered with
burnt out matches that had been

lamp on the table. But the tea
table was Uttered with papers, pipes
and cigarette stubs, and the whole
familiar room was different in away.

anyone that a woman had furnished

The big table in the centre had
some sort of a map over 1t. l vague

country. This took the place of an
exquisite linen cover. Where my

"Why not? After all, it's my

I wandered about the room, still

New Fresh Air Facts

Many new facts about air in it's
| relation to the body have recently
been discovered by medical scien'
lists.
| Today we know that as an aid to
! good health air should not only
reach the lungs but the skin as well.
The value of fresh air is not due
! alone to the life-giving oxygen 1t
contains. 1t has a combination of
other important factors as well. I'm
der ordinary living conditions the
blood will absorb all the oxygen 1t
requires. The need of the body for
moving air. however, is very great
indeed.
Extensive experiments in New
York city among children In various
| schools have proved hat windows
| open at all times result not only IN
better health signihed by fewer alb
| sences and colds. but increase the
cheerfulness. diligence and ability of
the children. some fifty per cent.
Air is the first necessity of all liv-
Ing things. Therefore, to follow the
AIRLINE" route to good health:
Let the fresh air in.
Go out after 1t.
Sleep out If you an.
Breathe deeply, regularly.
Ventilation. too, is an important
rule in hygiene. The most important
features of ventilation are: Motion,
GOODNESS, a proper degree of humid
| ity or moisture in the air, and fresh
ness.
There exists an extraordinary
| prejudice against air in motion, yet
| only a strong draft of cold air that
| too quickly chills the body is to be
avoided. A gentle draft is n of
the best friends the seeker after
health can have. A lack of motion
in the air affects unfavorably the
circulation of the skin and prevents
normal evaporation and heat loss.
No condition tends to colds and
grippe and lowered vitality more
than a crowded room in which ex-
| cessive heat and humidity are radi-
ated from the human bodies there

Editorials For
W. omen Folks

OF course, Johns folk were all
right. don't you know. but
Well-Dorothy just somehow left
you in doubt there.
You knew she had married John
and that she visited his family before
she walked up the aisle with him,
| but she always left you hanging mid
air about them.
And when Johns mother visited
her son and his new wife and some
of the mothers of the new wife's
friends wanted to have little parties
for her, she explained that ITS only
Johns mother, you know-she's old
and l don't suppose she'd want to go
out much anyhow"
And 81 nobody saw Johns mother
except for the glimpses they caught
of her as her plump little figure
trundled in and out of the door of
her sons home. They saw that She
was a little, old fashioned somebody
who still believed in bonnets with
purple pansies and to whom life
had given a habit of folding her
hands resignediy, hut not unhappily.
Dorothy went out just the same,
TO the matiuees with the girls, the
card parties and fer drives-but she
always excused Johns mother.
The day Johns mother went home
John arranged to take her to the

But her quivering, uncertain
answer made him think. 1t dug at

her, when he was just a little lad,
start out for the factory. after his
fathers funeral. and stand at the
machine all day, and come home at
night and clean and cook and mend.
Her voice had never quivered then!
Must be something wrong he
thought!
He thought of it all day at the
office. That evening at the dinner
table he talked 1t over with Dorothy.
Had they done anything at all for
her-what about her days? Had
Dorothy been thoughtful-or had the
only attention she received while

The Unexpected
CH DTEP oil

III
The door opened and Win himself
stood before me.
Then l ceased to be nervous and
frightened. 1t was suddenly like re-
turning home after a few days abb
sence, instead of more than a year of
complete separation. For Win look
ed just the same-hair that brushed
away from his forehead, hair rich
and brown that l loved to touch ma
ternally, clean skin and clear eyes,
strong and well shaped hands, one
now grasping the side Of the door,
as he stared at me in surprise.
Coming up in the elevator I had
been thinking nervously what /
might say. If only I could get over
the first remark safely, the rest
out my hands, and say. win, I've
come back" Surely that would make
everything easy. Either he would
put his arms out-and then after
that nothing would matter; or else
he would not be pleased, and in that
case l would forget my dignity and
go away, rebuffed.
But the romantic only happens
half the time in real life. Our meet
ing was not romantic.
Perhaps 1t was because I forgot
my opening remark. 1 forgot every
thing when 1 saw Win standing
Iome sort of a long velvet dressing
gown, and heeless velvet slippers
and I remember hat the cord of
the gown was united and one end
dragged along the floor.
But these details came to me at
terward. Meantime 1 stood there,
saying nothing.
"Connie! Why, it is Connie" Win
said, only half believing.
YES" I said nervously. MAY I
come in?"
Suddenly I wondered whether
there were people there-it seemed
much more likely that If Win were
home for an evening, 1t would be
because he expected guests. l never
knew him to stay home alone, or
with me except by accident, and
ihen he was restless and bored.
But my question brought us both
back to the odd little politenesses
and formalities Of life and as usual
they saved the situation.
"Of coursei I beg your pardon.
But 1 was so surprised" Win was
recovering his composure now and
ne held the door wide open.

gan in a low voice
There isn't anyone. That is. I

has dawned, according to ~astrology,
Neptune, Jupiter and Saturn are al
in benefic aspect.
There is a sign that promises
calmer judgment on questions az
fecting the people than has been
encouraged in recent aspects of the
stars.
Neptune in friendly sway seems
to indicate the spread of n ideas
on many problems affecting the ev-
eryday life Of the people and this
kindly influence may even reach the
mind of women who wear tmmodest
clothing.
Jupiter presages increase of for
eign trade and revival OF many
lines of business.
Saturn in benefic power is read
as auguring a big movement back
to the land. Many colonization
schemes will be tried and uc-
cess seems to be foreshadowed.
Group eort that is wise co-opera-
ton is to become more popular this
year than ever before.
The conjunction of Mars and Nep
tune, which falls on this day. is
interpreted to be an omen of re-
lIgious scandals, strikes in ship
ping industries and a p~rolongation
Of heat.
Earthquakes are prognosticated
for the South of Europe, and there
will be many electrical storms late

breaks of epidemics especially fe-

PhiIin Amos Visits My Room

Philip Anles Visits My Room
1 waited for the door of my room
to open supposing it was Lila Ames

Slowly the door opened.
Suddenly q figure stepped quickly
into my room and the door silently
closed.

Gently! Gently!-Lovely Lady!

he seemed the most d~espicable fig
ure.
You are the one who is being
indiscrete and it seems to me that
you are going quite beyond your
right! You haven't been invited here
that I know off,

to have these" He held out the
square box which he had been car
rying.
I hesitated.

them?"
And then I did just as every Other
woman does in a case of that kind
took the box. 1t wasn't because I
wanted the contents. Rather 1t was
because a woman's first impulse is
to be kind.
Aren't you going to open It?
Aren't you even the least bit inter-
ested in what l have brought your"
Philip said.
Still I didn't know what to say.
"You queer little girl. I've never
taken anything to a girl before who
didn't gurgle and coo over It; most
girls, you know, count their con.
quests in the number of boxes of
flowers they get"
"I shouldn't have them, though"
I said, lamely enough.
