YOUR BEAUTY

lacking the skill OF Mother Nature,
they choose for their lip rouge
too dark a red.
High attitudes, wind and other
causes sometimes roughen and
chap our lips. This is neither
beautiful nor comfortable, but it's
a condition easily remedied.
Small sticks of excellent lip po-
made are obtainable in rose or
white at reasonable cost and they
quickly smooth and soften the lips.
But IL you like to make your
own toilet lotions, you will enjoy
making up this formula:
Oil Of sweet almonds, 125 grams;
spermaceu % grams; oil Of ber-
gamot, gram; Oil Of geranium, 2
grams.
Massage this lotion gently into
your lips just before going to sleep.
No amount Of massage, however,
not even fine dentistry, will give
beauty to the mouth Of the WON.

ed temper has ugly, irregular lines
at the corner Of her lips. The
lips Of the woman who feels very
sorry for herself all the time curve
down at the corners instead of up

Character etches lines in our
faces and shapes our lips-of that
there can be no doubt. Our

as the sculptor looks constantly at

Then we shall express them in
individual loneliness of body, Of

Lon Chancex at Ditmas

Lon Chancey is a marvellous ac-
tor. If he had never given evidence
of that fact before his acting of the
dual role in "a Blind Bargain" at
the Ditmas theatre, would prove the
statement conclusively. 1t requires,
however, such photoplay as "a
Blind Bargain" to give Mr.. Chaney
an opportunity to score so decisive
ly. This actor likes thrilling melo-
dramatic situations in order to re-
veal his film mimetic gifts at their
fullest development. These REQUIRE
ments are fully met in "A Blind Bar
gain and the result is an hour and
half in the picture theatre brin-
full of thrills, the fascination of the
horrible and the fantistic.
Nothing like "a Blind Bargain"
has been seen here before. The story
concerns the belief of a mad sur
geon that he can prove the theory
of evolution by turning man back
into a physical and mental approx
nation of his simian ancestors by
transferring the glands of a live
monkey into his body.
A. struggling author agrees to al-
low the doctor to experiment upon
him In return for financial and medi-
cal aid for his mother who is dying
for lack of proper care. Unable
to buy his release from the doctor,
after his book has been accepted, the
writer escapes the horrible fate of
other victims, chained in the doc
tors private dungeon, only through
the fact that one of these men, with
superhuman strength, breaks the
bars engaging him and crushes the
doctor to death.
