 Breakfast in Bed" Does that it doesn't. Well, that's what they are handing us at the Lyric this week Hen, and with that cracker jack bunch of players that make up the something in your young life, or it will when you see 'em. Of course if you don't want tc laugh yourself sick or anything like that, why stay far tell you straight that it's the most Gcsh awful funniest thing you ever saw, and dished up straight in three courses.
 Pep? I'll say so and in great big Jumps, and the peppiest thing about the whole business is our new fla Vortte Eveta Nudsen. Say Hen, she's the bees knees, believe me, and the way she cuts loose in this weeks show will make you come twice to. see her Of course there are twelve other live reasons. dcggone good ones too, So- phie Allen and Lucille Poth are two of them and I'll let you see the rest for yourself when you arrive in the village. So sound the warning for the gang to gather and take it on the lam, you'll be glad all over that you took my advice.

ANSWERED LETTERS

Dixie: Tincture of benzoin is not in the least injurious to the skin. It is an excellent mild astringent. It will shrink large pores and make the skin clear and f1ne-grained if used in connection with other face treat ments- The best daily treatment is to rub the skin with cleansing cream then wash with castillo soap and hot water, rinse with hot water, then with cold, to which enough tincture of benzoin has been added to make a basinful is usually enough. It will not grow hair on the face.
 M. I. N.: There are any number of correct ways of acknowledging intro ducuons: Probably the simplest and easiest thing to say is: 'I am glad to meet you.' The only thing to avoid is Pleased to meet you' this has been done to death, is provincial and awkward.

ADVICE TO THE
 LOVELORN
MARRIAGE ONLY.
By BEATRICE TARTAN.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
 What do you think of a young man who has been very attentive to a young lady for the past three years and declares he loves her very much, but at the same time he is opposed to marriage. Of course, I am the lady in question, and the young man has been wonderful. showing me all kinds of attention and showering me with gifts, yet I can't understand his attitude. love him dearly for him. self alone, but I am afraid I will have to give him up, as the situation as it stands makes me very unhappy. Ii Ja man is really in love with a girl would his own desire be to marry her so they could always be together?
 MARGARET
 The man is either selfish to the point of cold-blooded brutality or else he is a victim of some new creed or ism" Marriage is almost always the thing a true man thinks of when he loves a girl devotedly. And if a man does not want to marry a girl he has no right to claim her, love. Her friend, her pal, her chum, any of these things he can call himself and act accordingly. But when a man spe1ks of love and insists that he does not believe" in marriage, he is claiming the right to make love to a girl and yet insisting on avoid ing any responsibility where she is concerned
