THE POOR MANS SOLILOQUY. I've go no coin to speak of and no
 fame, And I've decided, bo. that is the
 game. Nobody forges my name on a check. Nor tries to sell me mine shares by
 the peck. Nobody brings subscription lists to
 me; That I am broke they very plainly
 see. No auto sales men chase me round
 the block; Nobody tries to hand me any phony
 stock. The life insurance agents pass me by. The tax assessors ignore such as I. The hold-up man sees me and goes
 his way. I'm asked in no draw poker game to
 play. No motor car e'er throws me in the

FILL OUT HOLLOW SHOULDERS.


 There are two, and only two ways to ill out shoulders that are too hol- low for beauty. One is to hold them properly back with the chest high and to take deep breathing exercises. and places with warm cocoa butter. 4 good plan would be to try both these treatments at once-
 If you try massage, wash the skin with warm water or at least hold towels wrung from not water over it so that the pores of the skin are open ready to absorb the nourishing oil. Warm the cocoa butter and then mas sage vigorously with the tips of the fingers until you feel you have work ed ina certain amount. Of course treatme ent like this would have to be given at bedtime. otherwise the c1oth- ing would be hopelessly stained. In fact you have to wear an old night dress on the nights when you give yourself this massage. It really is very beneficial, for cocoa butter is probably the most fattening oil
 In the morning you should wash the skin with warm water for a cer- tain amount of oil will remain and the morning also stand before an open window well wrapped up so you will not catch cold and begin breath- ing deeply. Stand with the hands in front of you and extend them side

 A SUGGESTION
 Many Love To Do embroidery work but after the work is finished and cut out find it such a task to button hole the edge. This means all em- broidery work which is cut off after the edge has bene worked in button hole stitch. Take your crochet hook and crochet around 1t just like you would anything else where you crochet an edge on. This takes time and makes a heater edge than the buttonho1e stitch.
