Offered $500 for
Home Made of Boxes

Los Angeles, Cal.-The high price
Of living quarters in Los Angeles
means nothing to George S. Lennox.
Three years ago he started out with
only $4O0 in cash but today he is the
owner Of La Casa Contentos, in Hill
hurst avenue, Hollywood, for which
he recently refused an offer Of $500.
Surrounded by an old-fashioned New
England garden, the pride Of his heart,
Lennox has built himself q home Of
piano packing boxes. The exterior is
relieved by the blossoming beauty Of
the flowers and vines which cover 1t.
For years." Lennox said, land
lords considered me good patron.
But three years ago, with only $4OO
cash, I rebelled against the landlords
and their prices. First contracted
for $1,000 lot by making a small
cash payment.
'Then 1 secured IS piano boxes at
$1.5O each; went in debt for $3.50
worth Of plumbing, $50 worth of cleo
trio fixtures, and $21O worth Of finish
ing lumber. A carpenter and a boy
helped me at total cost Of about
$500 and I had my home.
Recently was offered $500 for
the place, but money can't buy happi-
ness, and this is La Casa Contentos-

THE
LOVELORN
Friend or Lover?
BY Beatrice Fairfax
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am a girl of eighteen.
About four months ago I met
man six years my senior. I did
not think much OF him at first,
but a after a while began to
like him, and now find that I
love him dearly. I cannot under
stand why he says he is inter-
ested in me, enjoys my COM
pany and likes me very much,
but he very, seldom takes me
out. He Is in business, and I
realize that he cannot see me
very often, but on Sundays, in
stead of taking me out he takes
his folks out. Another thing is
that he makes an appointment
with me at the last minute.
You see he will call me up or
call at my place Of business and
ask me to go out with him that
evening, and I never refuse, but
always go with him. Can you
tell me what to do so that I
could win this young man? Do
you think by his actions that
he cares for me q litt1e2 Should
I drop him and try to forget
him? BUBBLES.
THE young mans devotion to
his family shows his fine
character. On the other hand
his making his appointments at
the last minute indicates that he
Is selfish in his attitude toward
you, and is considering his own
convenience rather than yours.
He must like you or he would not
make an effort to be with you
now and then. BY patience and
good-humored acceptance of his
way of doing things you can set
him the example of kindness and
consideration and make yourself
necessary to him. Take the friend
ship in a less serious fashion.
The man may be good friend
even If you cannot charm him
into being a lover.

upon this. surely she had q right
to enjoy the present to the full.
Donald Muir and Winifred Scott
were silent during the first part
of their drive uptown.
The girls excitement of the
past few hours was evaporating,
leaving her with q vague sense
OF depression. Again and again
she remembered Richards face.
She must see him soon and ex-
plain to him that, even II she did
indulge in the pleasures OF the
welI-to-do, she still sympathized
with the poor and with him.
But could she mike him believe
this? He would be too polite to
seem to doubt her-yet surely
appearances would lead him to
suspect that she was like all the
rest Of the fashionable world
whom he accused Of heartlessness
toward the poor. downtrodden

over her complexion because Of
disfiguring little blemishes or
pimples known as "acne."
OF course where pimples are but
the outward symptom Of a run

to do is to consult physician for
advice and treatment. But-and
this is true in the vast majority of
cases-when your general health is
good these obstinate little blemish-
es are merely a protest of your
body against too rich a diet, too
little fresh air and exercise, and
imperfect cleansing processes.
Resolve today that you will rise
in all your energy Of spirit and
declare your freedom from such
petty, unbeautiful annoyances as
pimples. You are entitled-it is
your birthright-to possess In full
measure the fresh beauty that
health brings. And to come into
this heritage you need only think
clearly calmly, constructively and
follow the commonsense laws Of
health and beauty.
They are mostly laws of clean

Do not eat more than your body
calls for and can easily digest.
And eat simple food that tends to
keep your system clear and clean,
Partake Of twice as much fruit for
instance, as you have been eating,
and only half the rich meat, pastry
and bonbons. Drink fresh butter
milk with your lunch. This will
preclude dessert, for the two do
not combine well on one menu.
Eat cleansing salads every day.
Delicious salad dressings are
pleasant but not essential. A

you prefer, merely wash a head OF

with white bread.

1t was a busy week-and

So Saturday came around cheer
lily enough, in spite of the fact that

shadow of something unexplained.

were something she hardly dared

her to know you-how fine you

What is it," I asked more

Betty replied with an odd air

women friends to know and ap-

refuse me. You're too generous

A WEAK ANSWER.
Betty and I looked at each

ajar,. and SO, Rosa, coming in to
call for us had heard Betty's
statement. And the situation was
too much for Betty. Even her
savior faire was powerless. to
meet the impertinence with
which Rosa included herself in
the tea.

appointment with my neighbor,
Miss Gregory" insisted Rosa,
hammering home the point.

said Betty lamely.
