 Nice and a Gas Plant HcJp

When q woman faints nations gal lantly join hands to bring her to con sciousness. To make aromatic spirits of ammonia the chemist buys am- monia from smelly gas plant, begs oil of lemon from Nice, a playground of Europe, and obtains a bit of deli cate oil of lavender from Genoa. He goes to the Banda Islands, an out of -the-way dot on the map of the Dutch East Indies, for oil of my ristica, which is distilled from nut megs and adds alcohol from a corn field
 Not only do the Banda Islands supply the essence of nutmeg, but also the essence of history of stir i ring conqucsts of world colonies, of wars over spice, of Venice that was, i Nasco la Gama's voyage and of the Spice Islands place in world affairs today.

London, May 23.--There are today 100000 fewer war widows in the Brit ish Isles than there were just after the armistice. This is due mostly to their having re-married, though many have died.

Anyway, she fell asleep again, and it was not until this morning that the family discovered their loss. The squeak is one clue; who, besides Miss Eleanor, who, of course, no one would think of suspecting, wears squeaky shoes? None of the inhabitants of the Village say Squeak. At least it was not a voice that Mrs. Stuffedoll recognized, and she declares she knows eyeryone's voice in the Village. Another clue IS a footprint, left just out- side the StuffedoN front door. The sand there was wet last night, owing to rain blowing in through the piayroom window, and in the wet sand this Essorn- ing a strange footprint was plainly to be seen. It was all toes, with no heel. Woozle Me. Spotty, the chief of police, de- clares that it closely resembles the footprint of a certain bandit known as the Gray Mouse, who is wanted, it is said, for burglary in Miss Eleanor's mothers pan. try. These two clues will be fol- lowed and it is hoped the burglar will be run to earth shortly.

My Secrets of Beauty
By Daisy Doll

The Care of the Hands-- Beautiful hands help to establish dolls reputation, for who ever heard of a beautiful doH who had broken hands, or worse still, had lost one? Dolls hands are very easily broken, too, so spes cial care must be taken to guard them from injury and keep them looking hard and pink. In the first place, very few varieties off doll can stand water on their hands. Rubber dolls, of course, can wash theirs; also celluloid, bisque, china and various un- breakable dolls. But most rag dolls and the ordinary jointed doll cannot stand a good wetting. and they should keep their hands clean so they won't have to wash them. Dolls must also be on the lookout constantly to keep from striking against furniture, etc., by which their hands might be clipped. They are particularly cautioned against carelessness when out automobile hdin9, as any sudden jar may hurl them to the floor of the ear or, worse still, out on the roadway. The loss of one hand, or both, fire. quently follows such accidents. Jointed dolls are advised not to twist their hands around too much on their wrists, as even the strongest cords will snap if worked too much.
