ANKLE MASSAGE

Slim ankles, like slender hands, are
considered a sign of gentility and are
! the desire of every woman. Most
people possess slim ankles; those who
DO not are usually too stout all over.
A great many of my readers write
to me and ask whether massage will
make thick ankles slender. 1t will to
a certain extent, if you are one OF the
few people whose ankles are too thick
for beauty.
But if your ankles are too thick, my
first bit of advice would be to wear
high shoes all the time, particularly
laced shoes, which can always be
drawn snugly about the ankles. Wheth
er it is the Snugness of the lacing OF
the friction OF the shoe, is not known
but the result always is that the
ankles grow slender when high shoes
are constantly worn.
AS for the massage. there is no par
ticular method that is more valuable
than any other method. If you will
hold your hands at each side Of the
{ ankles and massage vigorously, using
the familiar circular motion that you
use for facial massage. you will have
as good success as experts who claim
to make the ankles thin.
You can be as vigorous as you wish
in massaging the ankles You will
also have to be patient, for it takes a
, long time to see results. OF course il

in the desired effect If I would also
read at the time he did. The paper
I chose happened to be running a

Just as we were ready for the first
course he started to read. did like

serve the second course he looked at
me rather surprised, but I continued
to read. Then he said, "Is this the

not hear him for a second, and then
answered, "Oh, yes, dear, please go
to the kitchen and bring in the second
course just this once. This story is
wonderful" All the time / was hold
ing the paper tight as if devouring

having abandoned his paper by this

Mother. are we going to have any
dessert?" l said rather as if l did
not wish to be disturbed: Please push

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampOos contain too much alkali.
! This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo, which
: is pure and greaseless, and is better
than anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonsful of mulsi,
fled will cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage. -. .ls.~.g,..-,. ...~-.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and few ounces will supply
every member of the family for
months. Be sure your druggist gives
