 If you take pride in your lovely skin. and practice the best rules that you know to keep it in the pink of condition, you will try at once to get behind the cause of this sudden, unpleasant change. You know that it comes from the first onslaught of harsh winds, but you must know. too, what quality 1t is the winds take from your skin. and how to supply the lack they cause by artificial means.
 You know 1t is the dCy skin that wrin- kles easily. The wind which blows against your face Is drying. of course. Then you should use a cold cream which allays this drying tendency and supplies agent to make up the deficit. This agent is nothing more nor less than grease.

names on the long list of persons who have contributed to a good cause. Even their friends are glad to know they have been charitable.
 There Is, of course. a class of fine peo- pie who are very modest about giving and will send in sum anonymously not because of the amount, because It may be a very large amount-for they find certain satisfaction ln giving without taking the world Into their con- fdence.
 There may be some people like this in Burma, that picturesque country north east of India, but it would be hard to find them. because all gifts to charity there are kept a secret This is not from modesty or from a simplicity of character. It is a protection.
 Of course. Burma. like all Oriental countries, Is full of superstitions but perhaps none holds so prominent a place the fear of giving to charity. If a Burmese Is discovered in this "un- worthy" act he is gossiped about and all his family are regarded with scor=7.
 In some countries. whenever blessing comes to a person his first impulse is to make a present to a charitable fnstitu- ton or donation to a parish or church But not so in Burma. Here it works in the opposite way
 The donor loses caste Immediately for to the Burmese mind the giver ad- mits he is an offender. The Burmese | firmly believe that the person who gives | to charity has a secret sin. It has so | weighed upon his spirits and pricked his conscience to such a degtee that as a penance he makes a gift, thus ab- l solving himself from his sin.

A FISH STORY.

A couple of city chaps summe ering in the mountains overheard sufficient fish stories to stir them to the desire to emulate the native anglers. Not having equipment, they persuaded the village storekeeper to lend them some of lis own personal outfit with the understanding that any parts lost or broken would be paid for or replaced. They had been out on the lake in boat about half an hour when one of them inquired of the other.
