BEAUTY AND HEALTH
By DIR. LILLIAN WHITNEY

Fly DIR. LILLIAN WHITNEY
 Amanda-No. At your age facial massage will not restore sagging tissues and that "hang-dog look' you describe so well. Do you know that this effect is often produced by ill-advised massage? Your only hope lies in surgery. Face lifting will restore youthful contour and wipe out the finger prints of time but only when done by an experi- enced specialist whose technique is perfect. In so important a matter your selection must be made with great care.
 Young Girl-You are very young indeed to have wrinkles. A good skin food ard proper massage should help you out. Do not allow your self to get in the habit of facial grimaces and wrinkling up the face when being emphatic or expressive.
 In massaging the face rub up ward and out, never down or in toward the nose. This is a very good skin food: White wax, 1 ounce; spermaceti, l ounce; lanolin, ounces: cocoanut oil, 2 ounces; tine ture of benzoin, 30 drops; orange flower water, ounces.

at Margie's body lying across the
bed in dingy room in the rear of

Margie is the only name she has
now. The one she used to have In
Boston has been lost in the last
five years. A lot of other facts
about Margie are buried n those
years, and perhaps 1t is just as
well.
Loretta knew her in those days
in Boston. They were both tele-
phone operators and Margie had a
good home. She was twenty then
and very pretty. Too pretty, says
Loretta.
Loretta doesn't know how they
both happened to marry Chinese.
They didn't have such plans then.
1t was after she had become Mrs.
Chin and come to New York;
Chinatown to live that she met
Margie again and found she was
Mrs. Thung. That brought them
closer together, even though Mareie
had quarreled with her husband
and left him.

the detective. "Then she goes and

Over on the bed Margie, in spite
of the five years since the telephone

WOMEN JURORS DO NOT
OPPOSE DEATH PENALTY

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. s.-Two
women being examined for jury
duty in the trial for murder of
Ralph Palmo, 635 Webster street,
in Judge Cullen's court, declared
they were not opposed to capital
punishment.
They were Anna Long and Mary
Gallen.
Despite the fact that they were
not opposed to the death penalty,
both women were excused. The at
orneys decided that because jurors
sitting in murder trials could not
be separated until a verdict had
been returned, it would not be prac-
ticable to have the women serve.
Palmo is charged with the murder
