Animal Prophets.

Few beliefs are older or more wide-
spread than that animals, and espe-
cially wild animals, have foreknowl-
edge of what the weather Is to be. and
something that amounts to such fore
knowledge many of them doubtless do
possess, but there Is no reason, and
only poor excuses, for assuming that
there is source of information accu-
rate enough and Of application remote
enough to give any appreciate extern
sion to the weather bureaus prognos-
tications.

BEAUTY HINTS

There isn't a bit of use of mas
saying and patting your face unless
you first spank your mind into shape
its your mind that's really the
important factor in making you
beautiful or plain.
Smooth out the mental wrinkles.
Do a little delicate soothing of your
spiritual self and then resort to
your cream pots, your perfumes and
your rouge sticks if you must.
Those bad little lines appearing
on your otherwise quite pretty fore
head are simply the visible signs OF
worry and ill temper. A quiet mind
is the best possible prescription for a
good complexion.
Don't bore yourself by going
through nightly ceremonies which
involve the cream jar and old kid
gloves, ~prolonging the process at one
time to make up for Sights of other
days. A little treatment regularly
given and a poised mind are Pro-
ductive of the best results.
And be exceedingly careful when
your creamed and patting fingers
reached the region around your eyes,
No inexperienced fingers should
touch that portion of the face with
any marked degree Of energy back
of them. The muscles there are toe
delicate, too sensitive and can toe
easily be pulled into sagging and un-
lovely lines.
Pat! But ever so lightly with just
a little good cream or olive oil or
the finger tips or the plant little
patter.

Does modest pAys
The doubt creeps into the minds
of many girls today. 1t is put thus
in a letter with a college town post

I am as anxious TO nave a good time

men kiss me goodnight, and so i
find I'm left out Of lots of college

kiss at parting as payment due
them after taking a girl to the most
ordinary entertainment, as the

Now they say that no man de-
sires to marry a girl who is not re-
served and exclusive. Then why do
men make II 80 hard for a girl to
be as refined as she p~retends to be ?
Does IL pay a girl TO be perfectly
good and 10 refuse to kiss a man
until she is engaged?"
An indirect reply to this critical
young pima Is contained in a let
