the drawing-room, Mrs. Calde-

Mrs. Headcorn with certain
amusement. Her buxom hostess
was still engaged in her morning
tour of the furniture; this she
looked upon as an essential part
OF housekeeping.
At that moment she stood before
the Sheraton cabinet. forehnger
appraised upon a panel. She did
not move, and Mrs. Caldecot had
to bite her lip so as not to laugh.
She knew exactly what was occu-
plying the mind Of her old friend.
May Headcorn, innamed with the
spirit OF a grandmother who had no
servant troubles. wanted on the
panel to trace the word: DUST"

Mrs. Caldecot In the doorway. and

Your skin needs different

TO cleanse it and re.

THE skin collects more dust and
L dirt in the course Of a day than
one would think possible. Ordinary
washing will not remove all of this
CRIME. Some oft works its way so deep
that more thorough cleansing is need
ed to reach it.
At night, or whenever you come in
from motoring or any other exposure to
dust and dirt, apply Ponds Cold Cream
TO the face after washing with war;
water and pure soap. Let the pores be.
come saturated withthis delicate cream,
then, as 1t works its way out of the
skin, wipe it off with soft cloth. This
cream has just enough oil in tito cleanse
the pores without overlooking them

When you first notice little fine lines
about the eyes and mouth and at the
base of the nose, take care that they do
not grow deeper. IF you let them 60
they will fasten themselves on the skin
and become real wrinkles, but if you
start in time you can ward them of.
For this you need a cream rich in oil,
for oil is the arch enemy ofwrinkles.
Ponds Cold Cream lubricates the skin
and helps restore its elasticity. PUTT on

lines, not across them. Use gentle

Bermuda, and then accidentally. Har
riet was thankful 10 believe the affair
between him and Nina well over. The
girl was growing mp now. there were
other men IN her world, and for the
list of her eighteenth birthday party
she had merely mentioned his name
among others.
Three days before the garden party
that was TO mark the girls anniversary
Royal drifted In with the assurance
that was quite characteristic Of him.
He rarely accepted an invitation, or
waited for one. Perhaps he was clever
enough TO know that half his acquaint-
ances detested him theoretically, but
were glad to have him about. Nina
and Harriet came in from an after
neon at the club TO find him playing
with languid hands at the plano, and
he lazily rose to greet them. While
Nina was there, his attitude toward
both was pleasantly impersonal, but
his suggestion, which was more like a
command, that she run upstairs and
dress early, so that they might have
a talk before dinner, sent the girl fly
ing, and he and Harriet could speak
more freely.
