 When a man is about to get mar jed and wants to buy a house, whom 10 you think he should consult-his nother or his intended wife
 Do you think his mother has the

 JEAN S.. Why can't you accept the greater experience and wisdom of your sweethearfs mother in a consulting capacity and take her along to advise the two of you when you select your house? She knows a lot of things about housekeeping and home-making which you have yet to find out. And you can get the advantage of her experience and please her by defer ring to her judgment at one and the same time. A little tact will make everyone happy.

ANKLE MASSAGE.

ANKLE MASSAGE.
 Slim ankles, like slender hands, are considered sign of gentlIlty ana 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. It will to a certain extent In any case, It is worthy trying, 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, partic- ularly laced shoes, which can always be drawn snugly about the ankles Whether it is the snugness of the lac ing or 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 70 make the ankles thin.
 You can be as vigorous as you wish in nassa ging the ankles You will also have to be patient, for it takes a long time to see results Of course if you are too stout, you will reduce your ankles when you reduce your en- tire body.

If the skin is dry, use a flesh building cream in stead of a cleansing cream.

Chicago Feb. Is. ---GrantinS OF
paroles, which il has been charged
has been done on too liberal a
scale ana has contributed to crime,
shows marked tendency toward
decrease in the middle west This
conclusion is reached Here on the
basis Of reports from prisons in
half a dozen states taken ut ram
dom.
The states We're Indiana, Wis
cUnain. Kansas, Ohio. Minnesota,
Illinois and Missouri, st..
OF these Illinois showed the
greatest numerical decrease in pa
roles In the two year. period
ending September 80, 1920, 1895
conYicts were paroled, as against
2,235 for the previous two years
This marks an average decrease
in 500 for 1919 and 1920. ....
In Indiana, where the reports
do not distinguish between par
dons and paroles, $40 were par
doned or paroled in 1920 as
against 1871 in 1918. This is a
decrease of AL. The great major
ity of these were paroles.
Paroled prisoners from the Mis-.
souri, penitentiary are in no way
responsible for the crime wave
that swept tht state this winter,
in the opinion OF j. X. Pool, a
member Of the board Of prison
control, which has direct super
vision Overt the prison and the
board Of pardons and paroles.
Fewer paroles were issued in
1920 than in any of the other last
four years. Mr.. Pool said. He
supplied the figures for the last
four years as follows. 312 in 1917,
200 in 1918, 100 in 1919 and 125
in 1920. Only sixteen pardons
were signed by the governor in the
last four years. ..
THE Missouri prison is just now
beginning to receive men captured
and convicted of crimes while the
so-called wave was at its flood.
