had Just one thing left in the
world that could be considered an
asset: his young wife. At the gate
they said goodbye to each other.
"Now you be just as good as
gold inside there." cautioned
Evelyn. ''and get all the time off
that you can for good behavior.
When your times up I'll be stand
ing right here at the gate, waiting
for you" She tried to look conf
dent and courageous, but the pose
was a complete fiasco, for Evelyn
was only twenty, and at twenty,
ten years, even with the maximum
of for good behavior, Is a mighty
hard thing to visualize with
equanimity.
On the way back Evelyn sat by
a window, watching the landscape
slide by, crying softly. She knew
only too well that Howard had
meant by "a hair of the dog that
bit him" He had been bitten by
crookedness-only more crooked
work would release him now.
On the way back Evelyn's pref
ty head nearly burst with an idea
as the electric train flashed
through haywood and she got a
glimpse of the little bank with
its safety deposit boxes for rent;
three dollars a year" sign.
Evelyn lost no time when she
arrived in the city. She knew
where the largest bank in town
was located and going directly to
that bank she rented a safety de-
posit box. With the key tucked
in her pocketbook she hied her

This saying is 80 well known
that it Il trite. But what an op.
portunity it suggests for the
woman who considers beauty be.
yond her reach! For any woman
in normal health can, If she
wishes, have lovely and express
sive hands.
One of the most beautiful girls
in America failed to score 100
per cent in a recent beauty con-
test because her hands were
fraction too long. This trifling
blenish resulted in her receiving
the second, instead of the first,
prize.
But because her hands are well
cared for and gracefully used.
only expert beauty critics could
detect the flaw.
Hands that are too long or too
broad, hands of imperfect pro-
portion in any way need the more
scrupulous care to appear grace
full and beautiful. But the result
is we'll worth the effort involved.

Of pleasure to everyone who oo-
sArves them. As the poet sings,
"a thing of beauty is q Joy for
ever"
To be beautiful, hands must be
kent clean-daintily, scrupulous-
ly clean. Skin health and SKIN
beauty are founded on this re-
ouirement of cleanliness.
Now, in cold weather keeping
ona,s hands clean and at the
same time avoiding roughness
due to chapping is a problem.
When the thermometer is very
low and the winds are very high,
you will get ever so much com

at night and after you wash your

The only objection to this 10

For this reason 1t Is better TO

before closing time to perform her

On the next Visitors day at
Joliet after Howard's incarcera-
ton, Evelyn was the first visitor.
"We1l, Ev, what's up; you look
as though you had discovered a
large hole in the rear wall or
something!' Evelyrf leaned close to
the wire and spoke in a near
whisper.
''I'll have you out Of here be-
fore another week is up. Howard"
Howard looked distinctly worried.
Now look here, Ev," he said
gravely, don't you go taking me
seriously about that hair Of the
dog stuff. I'd rather serve out
my time here than to have you
get mixed up in anything crooked.

We were on a walking trip out
in the country in Spain, near
Madrid, and we had just stopped
by the roadside to eat our lunch.
So Bobby began Immediately to
gather our things together and
pack them into the bag which
always carry over my shoulder

Then he turned for the water
jug. He picked it up and looked
for the cork. He could not find
it and finally said:
"Foxy Grandpa, I'm sorry. I'm
afraid I've been very careless, but
cannot find the cork"
"That's too bad, Bobby" I said.

in your pocket"
At this juncture the guard
walked over and Terminated the
interview. But sure enough the
following Monday morning. How
ara reported for work on his old
job, with the governors pardon
in his pocket a.
Evelyn merely told Howard
that she had succeeded in talking
the governor into granting the
pardon on the strength Of his
youth; the obvious fact that he
had been led by older men, and
his creditable showing as worker
and an honest man, after their
marriage.
But to Grace Matthews, her
chum, she confided details.
"You see, Grace, when he told
me the only thing that would get
him out would be a hair Of the
dog that bit him. began to think

that I'd do just one crooked

"Well, you know how those big
business men work. He just went
to Springfield, and came back with
the pardon; and a week or so after.
when I'd had chance to 'wheedle
the information out Of my hus-
band I went back and told him
the box number and-say; did
ever show you the picture Of the

"But, Ev, I should have thought
that the president would get a
fake pardon, and not only that. but

"Oh, of course-he ddi. But, you
