Inspection Of the rural routes Of
the Augusta Postoffice, have been
completed and for the most part, the
roads and boxes are in condition. All
patrons have not complied with the
recent suggestion from the depart
ment that posts and boxes be painted
white ami be erected on the right
hand side Of the road as approached
by the carrier. It can, be readily
seen that this suggestion from the
department is in the interest of the
travelling public as well az that Of
the carrier.
Annual reports Of the inspection

WOODBRIDGE WOMAN'S CLUB
SCORES BIG SUCCESS IN PLAY

T Hobbs, boatswain in u. S. Navy"
was John Reynolds Hammette. Mr.
Hammett as many of the others, is
an old favorite before Woodbridge
footlights. His solos FLOATING on a
Marcel Wave" Miss Muffett' and
"Mister Indian" were particularly
well adapted to his voice.
The "Duenna, chaperone to Ca
|rita," was taken by Mrs. John Ward
Ferguson, as only a finished actress
like Mrs. Ferguson could interpret
the part. Her singing and dane
ing was finished and graceful.
The solo dance, Pas Seul," by
Miss Laura Quinlan, was the inn
personation of grace presented with
a finished art.
Too great credit cannot be given
to the chrus girls. Their singing
was good; their dancing was almost
fairy-like, an dthei- costumes could
joys forever. They frts appeared in
Carmencita costumes. Next, in
sport regalia, and then in the dainty
carnival costumes, prepared for the
fiesta, under the direction of Miss
May Lewis and Mrs. Luke Mooney,
were creations of art The chorus
consisted of Florence Perry, Bernice
Weaver. Thelma Rankin, Dorothy
Compton, Gertrude Farrell, Muriel
Haney, Madeleine De Russy, Linda
Ames. Beatrice Vincent and Sadie
Martin.
In behalf Of the cast Mr.. Anderson
presented a basket of flowers to their
coach and stage manager, Mrs. l.. r.
Ballard. Mrs. Ballard responded
most gracefully. thanking the cast
for their cooperation and expressing
the pleasant thought of the delight
full memories she would cherish Of
the six weeks spent in Tabasco-Land.
Mrs. George Avery of New York
was the musical director and Miss
Laura Quinlan arranged the dances
and Mrs. Luke Mooney arranged the
costumes.
The parasols used by the chorus
girls were loaned by the Ross store
in Perth Amboy while the gorgeous
Spanish lace parasol which was car
ried by "Carita" was loaned by Mrs.
J. A. Ruthven.
The ushers were Misses Mittie
Randolph, Grace Brown, Helen En-
sign and Rae Osborn.

HOW YOU CAN HELP YOUR
COMPLEXION

The very first thing that is OBJ
served by the other person When ne
looks at you is your face.
You are either radiant of passivei
alive, keen, alert or negative.
You are full of vIvacity; or list
less.
Your eyes may bs the windows OF
your soul, but you can brighten
those windows.
Your hair, nose, mouth, chin and
your entire face are expressions Of
the care you take.
Your nose Is expressive Of the way
you breathe. It is impossible ro
breathe deeply and have small nos
trils. 1t is impossible to breathe
deeply and be lacking in energy.
Your mouth should emit the
sweetness that belongs to beau
riful character, and your chin, too.
should be strong so that we Will
have all the fundamental principles
of charm before we try to correct
the defects Of complexion.
If you are too fat--and sometimes
this is an indication of poor health
there are very simple exercises that
you can take and certain foods you
must go without, SO that you can
reduce.
If you are a little underweight--
you should eat OF the foods that the
fat person is not allowed, and also
exercise. Thus you can increase
your weight.
We are worried about little
wrinkles that form unless we know
how to prevent them, or remove
them, and if we are worried we can
not be charming.
Smile to lift the muscles of the
face, that is one of the best exer-
cises to use; frowning or worry al
lows these muscles to droop and
that. above everything else, we must
not do.
There is nothing more attractive
than q clean, healthy complexion;
with perseverance and patience
every woman can correct conditions
that make the skin look unsightly.
II we will breathe properly, we
will be dong much to keep our
bodies healthy and our faces in good
condition.
Which brings US to the subject
Of the pores and their relation TO
our health, which will be treated

She knew her aunt was displeased

Patricia to take down those many
pictures of handsome young men
which ornamented her desk and
dresser? That was one thing Aunt
Elizabeth had forbidden her to do
to fill her room with such foolish

had so many Of them too! Well it
