 A CITY ROMANCE M VIENNA Typ8RR. uRNNRNn
CHAPTER 1sO

The week slipped by.
 Wtnifred had her new car now and began her Christmas shopping She did not have have many persons for wnoga to make purchases. But she had a happy idea and confided 1t to her lover.
 She wished to prepare Christmas boxes for the families of some of the poor men among whom he had worked. Did he not think it would be an excellent plan?
 At first he was not as enthusi- astic as she had hoped, but when he noted her eagernesss in the plan he became more interested in 1t. He would give her a list, he said, of cer- tain articles that were always wei come to a poor mans family But surely there would be time enough some weeks from now. Christmas would not be here for more than a month.
 T want to get clothing, and gloves, and blankets, and, all. that sort of thing" she pleaded.
 "You are too extravagRnt in your notions. dear" he objected, People of that class would not appreciate such articles as you would buy. So long as their stomachs are full, they are satisfied"

GIRLS WITH BAD COMPILATIONS ARE
 PROMISED SURPRISE
Like a leaf from fiction comes a story of facts which will delight
 every woman.

Judging by the many voluntary ex- pressions of satisfaction girls and women all over this country are making about the Beauty Creations sold under the Black and White label. these truly wonderful creations are doing more real good to cor rect bad complexions and to satisfy women in their desire to keep their appearance fresh and cheerful than anything yet dis covered
 A great many women who have tried different kinds of treatments for such dis tressing face imperfections as blackheads, rough and discolored skin, are finding Black and White Cleansing Cream so un- usual and so much more. satisfying that its sale. together with other Black and White Beauty Creations. has passed the eight million packages a year mark in only little more than four years time.
 This proves the contention which au- thorities on skin and beauty have main tained for years, that it is possible to re- gain and keep that clear and pleasing com plexion of youth if only the proper com bination of cleansing and beautifying ele- ments could be produced to overcome the bad effects which exposure. irritation and the use of questionable cosmetics do to the most delicate and important part of the body.
 Since Black and White Cleansing Cream has worked such almost miraculous changes in clearing and beautifying the complexions of so many thousands of women and girls, it seems that the long sought for method of correcting bad com plexions has been found at last.
 Important: After putting the skin in a healthy condition by using Black and White Cleansing Cream, do not make the mistake of using just any powder anL cream. The makers of Black and White have provided Peroxide Cream and Face Powder which you can use safely to en- nance the beauty of the skin without chancing any further trouble or having that "pasty" or made up" appearance.

HELPS FOR M0THER
BY EsIILIE HOFFMAN

The mother of several .sehildren who was remsnstrated with on ac- count of her lack of discipline re- marked T want my children to love me" She would not punish them for fear they would resent 1t later in life and she rarely corrected them be- cause she considered this "nagging" and 'my children are not going 10 have any such unpleasant memories associated with their mother" she asserted.
 The children have now grown up and, as was to. be expected. the mother has absolutely no influence his mothers authority. They rely upon her for service, but not one of them shows her any consideration and her lament now is After all have done for them they never think of me nor do they show me any love"
 If, at the very beginning, this mother could have been made to un- derstand that consistent correction wise punishment for direct disobedi- ence and kind admonitlon along the path of life is not cruelty to children nor naging, how much happier she and probably her children also would be today. They would seek her ad- vice and share condolences with her
 
 be just 8 natural concern of their daily lives and she would have fuN evidence of the love she desired.
 The bad habit of nail biting is often overlooked, under the assump- ton the child will oltgrow the habit The wise mother will stop nail biting as soon as she observes it. She will know 1t is a symptom of extreme nervousness or that the general health requires toning up and in either case treatment Is necessary, so she will put her child under the care of a physician. As a first aid she will closely watch the child and patiently prevent the habit which most children indulge in unaware to themselves at the time.
 little of the lovemaking Maa's ap- petite for candy is easily surfeited.
 As for the age question. that de- bends on the individual mans taste. Some like women who will mother them, Others prefer flappers. But. generally speaking, 1t is a mistake for the man not to be elder, because women age quicker in looks than men do, and every woman is born spiritually older than any man ever gets to be.

HOW TO PROTECT CARPETS

or US the still older, more tedious
and less effective means of control
which consists of hunting for in
dividual offenders, both adults and
larvae, and killing them promptly.
Floor cracks and similar hidinp
places should be treated with kero-
sene, gasoline, or benzin6. Red
cedar chests will kill the verv
young larvae. They will not kill the
beetle or the older larvae, nor will
they prevent the eggs from hatch
ing. Cold storage with a reliable
firm is one of the safest methods
of preventing loss from carpet
beetle damage.
Hydrocyanic-acid gas, if properly
used, is one of the simplest and
best methods of fighting insect
pest of the household. As it is dan
gerous to human beings, although
as employed in household fumiga-
nonimflammable and nonexplosive

cording to directions furnished in

TOO MANY DEALERS
TAGS BEING USED

ATLANTA, August 30. - Be-
cause of the large number of motor
cars that are being operated here
with Dealers licenses, Charles A.
Cook, chief of the automobile di-
vision of the Georgia Department
of State, believes that many of
these cars are being operated with
the dealers licenses in violation of
the state laws.
81 have never seen so many au-
tomobile dealers licenses on auto
mobiles in Atlanta" says Mr.. Cook,
and T am persuaded they are be-
ing used in violation of the law.
"In many instances, l have no
ticed children under age operating
such cars and in very few instances
I have noticed dealers tags on new
cars. The conclusion is obvious
that relatively few of the cars are
being used for demonstration pur-
poses, but that the dealers tags are
being used to escape purchase of
license numbers"

COMMUNITY DE:PI. ORES
MRS.JOHNS9N' DEATH
Pleasant Grove Woman's Mis-
sionary Union Adopts Reso-
lutions of Regret

The Woman's Missionary Union
of Pleasant Grove Baptist church,
of which Mrs. Claude johnson was
a leading member, has just adopt
ed resolutions of regret upon the
death Of this good woman These
resolutions, which express the senti-
ment of the entire community have
been furnished the Times-Recordcr
and are as follows:
"We take this method of eX-
pressing formally through the press
the great sense Of loss felt by our
Woman's Missionary Union in the
death of our beloved sister, Mrs.
Leona Johnson.
Cur hearts are filled with sad
ness that we shall see her face
no more, that we shall no more look
into her loving eyes, that we shall
no more hear her kindly and gentle
voice.
ut was a great shock to US when
we received the word that she was
taken from us. Yet we nor they
sorrow as those who have no
hope, for beyond the shadows we
know our sister rests sweetly and
that our loss is His eternal gain. We
thank and praise God for the life.
and example of such a woman.
"She had no members too high
or too low for her to visit or to
mix and mingle with and, the re
suit was all loved her dearly. Mrs.
Johnson's wide honor and useful
ness shone pre-eminently as
friend. Her ideals were high, her
life pure. She was always the
faithful, loyal, true. friend-herself
uncritical, ever kind, always forgiv-
ing and forgetting human weak
nesses. She was the very flower
of noble wifehood and motherhood
and above all she was a gentle, low
ing Christian. Husband children,
home and church were her temples
of love and Ravens of rest.
Therefore, be it resolved, that
we bow in humble submission to the
will of Him who doeth all things
well, for we would not urmur nor
complain even though the hand of
God is laid upon US heacily, feel
ing that our loss has been great.
Yet His gain has been greater.
While her body lies slumbering in
its grave her spirit has entered into
that laurel of rest prepared for
the people Of Cod"

Its true that we might do more

"Well, it's been so long since
saw one that have forgotten when
it was.
when one is busy, one is happy.
And caring for the number of
youngsters we have keeps US pretty
busy.
"But with the exception of Adele
who has heart trouble, they are all
well, and if the Good Lord wants me
to bring more of them into the world
my husband and | will welcome them
and try to do our best for them.

els | have, but I wouldn't trade
them for any of the diamonds worn

eve buy only the plainest of food
but that is the healthiest kind. We
take our pleasure outdoors in the

eve don't miss the hectic pleas
ures that some people have to have
to enjoy life and we are the better
for it.

smokes is las much pleasure to him

doing"
