Does the Nape Of Your Neck Really Add 10 Your Beauty?
By LUCREZIA BORI The Famous Sponish P7inau Do1,Y,o

How often do you see some one on provement measure of taking a sn,aIi hairpin. giving 1t deft twist. and se- eurely pinning up stray hairs which are struggling down at the back of the col lar? Sometimes two hairpins would be br4sk brushing upward with a slightly moist brush snoothes the hairs and gives them better chance to stay in place.
 Another thing. and one which isn't 90 pleasant to hear about, the back of the neck up near the roots of the hair often Is in downright need of good scrub bing. What with the rubbing of f,,r pieces and collars and the general chance which dust and grirne have to col lect here, the casual washing most wom- en give to this part of their necks is not sufficient.
 What l advise you to do is to wash your neck here as carefully as ever you do your face, using your complexion frush on it as often you do on your face. This soft complexion brush is an old favorite of mine, as all my con- stant readers know. It's such a friend Of the woman who wishes to possess a lovely skin that she simply can't sf- ford to do without it.
 Your wash-cloth, which Is very neces- tary in it's way, cannot reach up about the roots of your hair as can the com plexion brush. And you want the back of your neck to have that shiny, clean only with constant and thorough scrub bing.
 This ts, of course, the first step Keep ing your short hairs well in cheek is the second step. The back view whicn yot.f hand mirror reflects will be your reward

Around these, thiA strips of cane were woven in and out, piastered together with mud The roof was nothing moro than grass and leaves piled high on toE of the polls like a tall. pointed cap.

 Why, in Central Africa" replied Gocomeback, 8 little dark-skinned girl came running out to meet them. Her black, curly hair was twisted in tiny rolls that hung down over her forehead. Her dress. Gocomebacsx told Betty, was made Of bark cloth. Beads and chains finished her apparel
 Gocomeback introduced the two little girls, and the little brown girl led them into her home
 The only light came through the door way and a few holes between the roof and the walls. The place was so dark that Betty stumbled over a queer ooking object

 And you have no md1N furniture at all?'' asked Betty, amazed that a fam fly could live in such way.

 She laughed, but this time Betty was the one to shake her head, and, sha did so the mud house. the little brown girl Gocomeback and all vanished, and Betty stood once more on her own back porch.
 NO, sir~ she laughed to herself. I'm not very fond of dusting and sweeping, but just the same I'm glad we have fse furniture to dust

 Her mother presents her witt a huge needle, which she wears around her neck on a string, so that it always will Se handy.
