garding above, also please give your
opinion as to whether You really
think this man loves me when such
a trif1e causes continual disputes.
HANDICAPPED
Religious beliefs are not minor
questions. Our creeds and doctrines
are part Of us. But a fine faith
ought to recognize the Righteousness
of oil honest high-minded belief. Tn
less a man can live and let Hve--and
unless the man and woman can reach
a basis of mutual respect and under
standing they haven't much chance
of ha.ppipess together. The mooted
question Is not trifling-but a grave
issue. It can be met only when the
two concerned have tolerance and
understanding. If faith means every
thing to the man and is a trifIe to
the girl. that in itself is a stumbling
block. A serious, generous discus
sion may bring the two closer. but
unless they can understand what is
in each others heart-what is the
use of their so-called love?

VANISHING CREAMS

What are the virtues of vanishing
creams? Many people ask me, and
have to answer that it depends upon
the cream. A poor quality vanish
ing cream has no virtue at all, a good
one is useful in some ways.
Ordinary cold cream, which is SIM
DIV cleansing, or flesh building cream
which contains nourishing oils, is
quite all right for daily use. But
even the best of vanishing creams, in
my opinion, should only be used now
ana then. I believe that they clog
the pores, hold into the texture of
the skin whatever soil or powder
may be upon the surface. and gen.
orally interfere with the skins or
binary functions.
But occasionally, If the skin is
rough or chapped or very dry, a lit
tie good quality vanishing cream Gap
piled only after a thorough washing
with soap and hot water) will be
beneficial 1t will make the skin
seem soft and smooth for the mo-
nnent, therefore serves a good pur-
nose. But as a habit. I would
never advise #.
However, vanishing cream is SPLEEN

comparison to that of the face usu-

This treatment is best if done Just

part is, that the elbows will pick
