BEAUTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES

a lemon in the final rinse. water.
These are all bleaching agents, and
also dry out some of the oils from
the hair. Blond hair, however. must
be reasonably dry to be pretty.
For medium gold hair beat up a
couple of eggs. yolks and white, and
rub on the scalp an hour before the
shampoo. The sulphur in the egg
yolk is bleaching and gives richness
of color. Use a mixture of l-3 pow
dered henna and 2-3 powdered cas-
tile soap for red-gold hair.

My Neighbor Says:

To prevent silver tops of
salt shakers corroding, heat
paraffin and spread it inside the
top. While the paraffin in cool
ing use a toothpick to open
holes through which the salt
may sift
The leather straps on the
handles of umbrellas soon wear
out or break, in which case
they cannot be mended. How
ever, a grossgrain or moire rib
bon, if used in place of the
leather strap, will prove more
practical, more durable and
more attractive. Run the rib
bon through the hole in the
handle and tie in a loop to slip
over the hand, The ends Of
the ribbon may swing free or
be tied into d bow.
Always keep milk in a bottle
covered until you are ready to
use it. Always wash the bottle
before YOU open it.
The following mixture is eX-
cellent for washing silver:
Take equal parts of common
yellow soap and whiting. Melt
the soap, then add the whiting
and make it into a cake. Apply
it with a piece of flannel and
plenty of warm water, then
rinse well and dry and the sill
yer will not only look beauti-
fully bright, but will not re-
this soap for removing egg
stains from spoons.
To clean tiled floors warm
water and soap will be found
best, then dry with d soft cloth
and finish with d little linSeed
oil on an old silk handkerchief.

cried the anxious little mother. "Oh,
Peter. don't move! They are right
behind you!"
Peter turned his head and look ed
down on the ground behind him.
Right close to his funny, little, short,
white tail on the brown leaves were
two tiny baby birds. They were al
most the color of those brown leaves.
The wonder was that when Peter sat
down he did not sit down on them.
Had he done so it would have been
the end of them. There was no nest.
There wasn't even the hint of a nest.
Very carefully Peter moved away.
Then he turned to stare at those lit
tie babies. Mrs. Whip-poor- hur-
ried to them to make sure that they
were unharmed. How did they get
out of their nest?" Peter asked
"They didn't get out of a nest" re-
piled Mrs. Whip-poor-will. They
were hatched right here where you
see them"
Then Peter knew that Mrs. Boomer
the Nighthawk had told him truly
that there were two birds who do not
build nests.

''I saw you come past the windows, but l was too--busy-for the minute to come in and welcome you. I suppose you would like to go to your rooms and after driving nthis air from the you are nearly ready for luncheon. If you will come with me please"
 She led the way into the hall and across it to wing jutting out at the side of the house looking toward the gentle decliyity at the back which hid the bay from us and screened on the front side away from the house by magnificent hedge of evergreens with an under growth of laurel, the whole forming all impenetrable screen. The main part of the house extended farther to the rear. Thus the windows of our apartment looked out upon a court, large enough. 1 estimated in- stantly. to hold an ordinary motor car concealed from sight of the road. Just why should have made such an estimate I did not know, but I jotted the thing down in my mem- ory and turned to little Mrs. Bird who was moving quietly around the rooms, raising shades, and laying out towels.
 How far are you from the bay?' asked interestedly.

But 1 see the signs Of scuffling here at the kitchen door, so I'll bet nickel someone, whoever it was who knocked at the Hooly- gooly door, must have grabbed my friends and scuffled with them!"
 Then the nice fat kind-hcarted po- liccman turned his coat inside out and put on false whiskcrs. Then, as he was completely disguised. he followed the footprints which led through the woods in the direction O. the house of the mean magician.
 What l can not understand is. how could the magician get out Of my prison?" the fat policeman asked himself.
 Indeed, there was good cause for the policeman to wonder. for he had himself locked the mean magician in the cell and had the key in his pock- ct now.
 Whoever has scufflcd with my friends and taken them away, must be someone beside the wicked mean magician" the nice fat policeman said.
 But when he reached the house of the mean magician. he saw that The foot prints ended right at the ma eician's front door.
 Tt must have been inc magician" the fat policeman scaid under his breath.
 But although he listened until his ears turned red, the nice fat police man could not hear sound from in- side the house. Although he felt 1t was a very rude thing t0 do, the po- liceman went and pceped in all inc windows; but he could not see a sim gle thing. for all the window curtains had been pulled down.
 'gHummmi" the nice fat policeman unused as he went around to the back porch and sat down to think. They are all inside this house." he contin- ued to think. "So I must find a way to rescue them"
 Just then the back door was open cd real easy and the magician threw a bucket Of water all over inc poiice- man.
