Henley, 1.-The minute I heard her
voice, even before I'd seen her,
I knew that something definite

a good look at her, I said to my

wonderful new liquid which in 10
minutes makes straight hair glori-
Ously curly and wavy, and keeps it

It's almost miraculous. the way it
works. You just apply a few drops
to the hair. Then use your favorite
irons to shape and place the curls

wish and have the time to spare
you can use ordinary kid or silk

extent Of considering it cure
full advise leaving massage alone.
The concensus of opinion is
that massage when properly
given is not only deeply restful,
soothing and invigorating, but
that it removes inflammation and
builds muscle. Indeed, it is a
part of medical treatment for
some diseases. With medical
massage, however, this little
beauty chat is not concerned.
We are interested in only the
more ordinary types of scalp,
facial and bodily massage which
rest. soothe and, therefore, beau
tify my lady"
Authorities are agreed that to
give massage properly requires
expert skill and knowledge, and
that when not correctly given it
may do far more harm than
good.
For since the theory that ma
nipulating the body in such a
way as to build up the nerves,
and muscles and soothe them
and stimulate circulation is most
beneficial, the opposite holds
true that to manipulate the body
with wrong movements will tend
to tear down and weaken and
make flabby those same nerves
and muscles.
SO you see it really is folly
to try to give yourself facial or
bodily massage and equally un-
wise to try to massage another
person unless you happen to be
an expert masseur.
If you can afford it and wish
to, l would say by all means
go to a masseur and enjoy the
soothing, stimulating experience
OF massage properly administered.
But If you cannot afford mas
sage, do not be discouraged. There
are plenty of other ways of i'm
proving circulation and of resting
and invigorating yourself. Just fol-
low faithfully all the suggestions
for wise and simple living, have
tried to make clear to you in
these little chats, and-provided
you have normal health on which
to build-you can bring out every
bit of charm and beauty that are
rightly yours.
Now there are several excep-
tons to the rule that massage
should always be administered
by an expert. For instance, scalp
massage and the simple move
ment of massaging the hands and
rubbing in cold cream or alcohol
in rundown are so safe that
you need not hesitate. to apply
them yourself. ~

high school boys have just finish
ed building a bungalow residence
for progressive citizen of little
town. The total cost was $4,000
The excavation was made, the
foundation and cement walls laid
and the superstructure erected eX-
clusiVely by boy labor. They even
took the place of assistants to
plumbers, painters and electricians.
The owner is satisfied with the
job and has saved some money on
costs. The boys are a few dollars
to the good per capita, and the
job of house-building is the talk
of the town" The family will
move in shortly and will give a
reception in honor of the boy car
penters, who are, in fact, the men,
bers of the vocational training
class Of the high school.
Now, here is an example Of
piece of real education. Handi-

recognition and honor all combined.
I'VE are certainly proud of this
class" said the principal, as he
lined them up for a photo.
1t is doing the job that counts.
Vocational instruction with little or
no vocational practice is the usual
discouraging situation in the city
high school A boy cannot learn
to build a house by looking at the
drawings and reading the specifi-
cations. Worst of all, such stale
methods fail to awaken even his
interest, much less to stir his emo
tons.
The athletic development in the
schools has done much during re-
cent years to keep youths in line.
But in the many situations where
the extra,mural program is all ath-
letics and no shopwork the thing
is badly one-sided.
There is not a class Of common
industrial work from carpentry to
carpet weaving but that the rudi-
ments of it could and should be
taught in the public schools. We
are still training far too many fine
haired do-nothings Of both sexes.
No girl should be given a high
school diploma until she is profit
Gent in at least one line of house
hold or industrial art.
Thus we shall in time merge in
dustry and so-called culture, prov
ing them to be halves Of the same
complete course of training.

But those deer run away from
him as they would run from me-"
why is that?" / inquired.
well, you see," responded the.
man, hes been around me so
much that he has the smell of
human hands on him. And hui
man hands are the evidence OF
enemies to deer. They have such
sharp noses that they can detect
this odor before they get close to
them-and off they run. I'm sor-
ry for my little pal. He must get
very lonely for his family"
Just then Bunny came up. The
deer looked down at him with his
soft brown eyes and Bunny wig
gled his ears and then he wiggled
his nose until the whiskers shake
as if they had electricity in them.
Those two pets were delighted to
meet each other.
Soon the deer ran off the
porch. Bunny followed. They
went off to have a heart to heart
talk, l guess. When they re-
turned you could see they were
firm friends. How that deer did
enjoy the day!
1t was getting dark before we
left. But we promised faithfully
to return soon again.
AS we turned back to wave
farewell, we saw the caretaker at
the doorway leaning against his
house and close by his side was
his pretty partner-the little deer.
They were both lonely for their
own, but they were so happy to-
gether that it didn't matter.

Each One Gently Lifted Away

TIRED lines: tiny crows feet, deep
seated wrinkles-these are now
entirely unnecessary For a mar
velous new cream has been discovered
which smooths them away, as IL by Q
touch of q magic wand.
This new discovery is called Domino
Wrinkle Cream. It works on an en-
tirely new principle. Most treatments
merely try to conceal or cover up
wrinkles. But this new treatment gets
the underlying cause of wrinkles, re-
moves it, and as it does so each line
and wrinkle is gently lifted away, re-
vealing a new smooth and wonderfully
youthful complexion. Even after the
first few days use, the face appears
years younger looking.
Why let unsightly lines and wrinkles
rob you of your youthfulness and

disappear so easily? Domino Wrinkle
