stood at ore end of path and
looked down it thoughtfully. On
each side of the stone walk had
planted rose bushes. and what
beautiful sight 1t was to see when
they were all in bloom!
YES" agreed Bobby. "Ths end

You're exactly right, Bobby"

"Oh, Foxy Grandpa" exclaimed
the boy, ''build a dovecote, like

Before the day was over I had
given the order for little Aouse
for some doves to be built, and
had gone to neighboring farmer
10 engage a pair of beautiful
doves.
In a weeks time the dovecote
was erected, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Dove were living in it and billing
and cooling in the most delightful
manner. 1t was very pleasing
to walk down the rose walk now
and hear the happy couple talking
sweetly to each other.
One morning when I went out
to see them I stood on tiptoes
and peeked into their little home,
and what do you think I saw?
There snuggled down in their
nest were four beautiful eggs.

YOUR BEAUTY
BEAUTIFYING YOUR EARS

she can't see her ears when she
washes them.
Be careful not to pour water
into your ears in the scrubbing
process, but to gently cleanse
them with a soft wash cloth and
warm soapsnds, then with clear
tepid water. Dry them very care
fully or you will have ears that
look red and blotched.
The ears need the same careful
cold cream cleansing from time
to time that keeps the complex
ion free from lines and plenti-
fully moist. This cold cream
cleansing should be followed by
gentle massage Of the lobes
with alcohol to impart the rosy
glow that is so desirable.
Just a touch Of your favorlte
toilet water or cologne applied
to the lobes Of your ears is a re-
freslling last touch to their toll
lette.
It is said that too outstanding,
conspicuous ears can be improved
in shape and made to lie closer
to the head by wearing a cap
over them at night. At least It
can do no harm to try out this
theory in case your ears stand
out more than you wish them, to.
And these cold winter nights are
the best time for the experiment.
Certainly a baby's ears can be
improved when they stand out by
making it wear close.fitting baby
caps or bonnets. A child's ears
should never be pulled or boxed,
as the ears are very delicate.
While it is not becoming to all
women to pull back the hair so
severely as to reveal the ears, yet
1t Is always charming to see

meath well-coiffed hair. II you
