Then something such as this Sunday

Another suggestion is keep an
orange wood stick and a pair of mani
cure scissors and a small pointed nail
file in the bathroom cupboard. Then
when the hands are washed the nails
can be cleaned while they are still
damp and easy to do. and loose bits
of skin can be clipped off before they
have a chance to grow larger and
make the fingers sore. The purpose
of the orange stick is to push back

A CALLER
Chapter 7

The reason why Pandora, at 21, was
as socially backward as an undevel-
oped girl of 16, was simple and tragic
one. And a common one.
But it was long time before the
girl found this out, and still longer
time before she was able to remedy it.
Her Aunt Maude, in kindly mo-
ments, said she was born shy" In
less kindly moments, she said she was
born a ninny." The girl heard both
criticisms frequently. When her father
tried to urge her to join in the young
peoples parties, she held back and
said
No, I'd rather not. I feel so awk
ward. And | can't ever think of any
thing to say"
Her father laughed at this. She was
anything but tongue-tied with him!
He concluded she was joking. anC
promptly forgot all about it. He al
ways forgot unpleasant things as sooT
as possible.
The next time he was reminded
Dora suggested:
Let's go for a walk instead. The.
won't miss -us."
And then he was delighted, because
il gave him some hours of her compan
ionship, and she was a charming com
panion to him.
Only once he argued the point.
Il don't see why you keep repeatins
that-about not talking. Why. don
YOU remember that little hotel W,
stayed at in-wasnt it Waco2-and tn,
way you talked to that man and hi
wife and the baby? You talked al

Housekeepers! Save

Stop drying dishes. The United
States Government says 1t is waste
of time. 1t shows the housewife how
to arrange a rinser and drainer that
saves this work and leaves the dishes
in better condition.
1t shows her how to make fireless
cooker if she can't buy one. Its use
will cut the fuel bill in two and save
much labor
Did you ever think of putting a
hinge on one end of the ironing board
and attaching it TO the wall, with a
collapsible leg on the other? Thus it
folds out of the way and is always
ready for use.

Connie: A soap in which there is
some tar makes a satisfactory sham
poo for some people, as the tar is an
of just such treatment Tar soap
should only be used, however, on dark
hair.
Brushing the hair every night will
have no effect upon dandruff. You
need a good tonic for this condition in
addition to toning the scalp through
massaging it every day to increase the
circulation The only virtue in brush
ing the hair is to help keep it clean
and equalize the secretions over its
full length. If you can keep your hair
well groomed without the aid of a
brush there is 10 occasion to use one.
