Scarfs For Evening

For evening wear nothing could
be more becoming than a huge shawl
of printed crepe de chine that has
wide border of ostrich feathers that
carries out the color scheme of the
center.

"Why? Because when the wax is
rubbed in thoroughly, the thin film on
the surface protects the linoleum.
Dust sticks lightly to this surface in
stead of flying up to collect on furni-
ture and apparatus, A daily going
over with hair broom takes it right
up. The entire monthly cleaning and
waxing cost was about a quarter of
a cent per square foot.
Note: On request, we will gladly
furnish full directions and specihca-
tons for waxing floors of Arm
strong's Linoleum in any business or
public building

HERE is what the Building Maintenance

eve use linoleum floors in this building, and
IN all our buildings in the different cities. We wax

polishing machines. Some of our linoleum floors
have been down for twenty-five years. Once as
an experiment we tried floor without wax.

thoruscs are must realize that these

As to the program and artists. Mr..
Chapman never has poor ones. and the
reports of those who heard the Won
derful contralto. Miss Nadworney. at
the festival last fall arc most enthus-
iastic over her praises. AS to Mr..
RahinowitCh, his record as n violinist
iS next to a miracle. The fact that he
as Young man competed with the
world and won the worlds scholarship.
as picked by Leopold Aucr. as the most
talented pupil of any in tho world to
win the $4,000 prize. is enough to as
sure an entire concert by him. With

that he will bring cut the best from

Chapped and roughened
skin quickly healed

NOTHING is more irritat-
~ in tn an to h ave
chapped hands. First, they
get rough and catchy
then, if not properly cared
for, they will crack and
bleed. Red, chapped hands
are not pretty to look at, to
say nothing Of the way they
feel.
There is one preparation
for chapped hands that is
effective and gives instant
relief. Sea moss has been
discovered to possess re-
markable healing and sooth-
ing qualities for the skin.
Nepto Lotion is made of
sea moss-carefully blended
with other ingredients.
A few drops of Nepto
after washing the hands
and at night and in the
morning soon does away
with all redness and rough
ness, and keeps the skin
smooth. Itrelieves chapped
ankles, too, and gives a
delicate smoothness to the
skin.
Let the children try it.
Their hands get rough and
chapped so soon. Fifty
