Ed Brown offered to bet SIS to 81
with Lola Anderson tina: he had
more money than she did.
There was no time to count up
the contents of their purses be-
cause a fight started when Lola
offered to take Ed up on the bet.
He claimed that she gave him
soIns smart talk"
The fist thing Lola knew, she
said. Ed had given her hard
smack. Sarah Queenan tried to
part them.
I'd resented this, Sarah said. and
threw a lamp and hit her on the
head. Ed said he threw the lamp
at Lola because she made threats.
We know now that Ed has less
money than Lola because the court
fined him $25. Bat the bet is off.

At dance given in one of the fash ionable clubs of this city one of the most embarrassing moments that a local woman ever experienced was had The woman accompanied by her daughter and several guests vis- Ited the club one evening and the young ones enjoyed dancing while the older folks played cards for a diver sion.
 After the dance when everyone was getting their wraps together the hos tess picked up a coat which she sup posed to be her daughter's, A wo- nan who was sitting nearby arose and said. .'I beg your pardon, but think you have my coat there" "Oh. no I haven't. am sure this is my daughters" came the reply, Well, I'm sure that it is my coat and I would suggest that we look in the pockets and maybe you will be able to Identify your daughters belongings" said the first one.

READING YOUR OWN PALM.


 A great palnist, by name D'Arpen- ttgny, says that there are seven classes of hands. '"The elementary or large palmed hands, which are the lowest type, the active or spatuIate hands, the artistic or conical shape, the use full hand which is square, the philoso- phic or knotted hand. the psychic or pointed hand, and the mixed hand"
 The important point in the ele- mentary hand is the proporrIonate length of palm and fingers, the longer the fingers the better the hand, the larger the palm the more the animal ruIes.'
 In the spatulate hand the palm is broader at the base and the fingers at the tips. Discoverers, inventors and energetic people have such a hand. The artistic is one of the most attractive types. the palm being slightly tapering, the fingers broad at the base with nice naIIs. Conical hands belong to people who are im- questionable, impetuous, generous

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Have you any
solution that would keep the skin a
little oily? The skin of my face is
so dry that it peels off. Also have you
a skin whitener? BLONDY.
Apply cold cream to your face every
night before retiring-not vanishing
cream, but a skin food. This will give
the required oil and prevent the peel
ing.
A teaspoonful of the tincture of ben
zoin to an ounce of rosewater forms
well known lotion, which is excellent
for whitening the skin.

choose your bath soap carefully.
If l have been writing a great deal
about bathing and beauty recently it is
because of the number of interested
letters | have received on the subject
from my readers. Many of them have
asked whether soap should be used at
all in bathing. To this l must answer
that it depends upon a number of
things
If you live in the city where the air
is filled with dust and smoke you must
use soap upon the hands and upon the
face, unless you use a cleasing cream
followed by hot water If you take
warm bath daily it is not always nee
essary to use soap upon the body, for
the body is protected by clothing and
will not need this extra cleansing
treatment. Soap can be used every
other day.
If you have been dancing or indulg-
ing in any vigorous exercise you
should use soap with the bath that
follows unless you have very fine
needle spray in your bathroom. The
skin has been made so active by the
exercise that it needs something extra
vigorous in the way of bath
very hot, very soapy bath every
day is drying and should be avoided

much toward relieving it.
