Besides, Leslie, hate that aWtul time before the birth of child when a woman looks so ugly.
 Don't think of me contemptuously. You must rem mber that l am not beautiful like you. All the beauty I have lies in cy body and the way I wear clothes. I am slender and in my own precise way, graceful, a nd I can't help thinking with horror of the time when I shall be awkward and unwieldly.
 Dick Is such a lover of lovely wo- men that my heart grows cold when I look forward to him seeing my one 1 beauty go,
 Men are so dependent on what others think of those they love. I have almost decided that l shall 1 stay in my room all the time. Is i that morbid, dear? Probably 1t IS and you are wondering why such a poised waman as l should have these feelings.
 i I wish you would come out here and see me. I think you would do
 me good and I am sure the place
 would interest you greatly, This
 land which everyone seems to think is the land of make-believe -- this 1 Hollywood-is in reality one of hard
 work and worry. Both men and
 women work so hard and meet with
 so many disappointments that they
 grasp at every possible breath of
 joy that comes their way. They
 seem to think it is coming 10 them
 and am not sure but what they are

 These young men and young wo'
 men, filled with all the fires oi youth, are on such a strain that , when they play they play quite al . hard as they work when they work , They grow to think that they may , have more latitude in their playing } than in their working, where mos of them are c-ibbed and confined by . the racous voices of the directors.

An application of hot towels is the most effective temporary relief for hives, Mrs. Mann learned.
 The hot towels should be barely touched to the affected parts. and then instantly withdrawn so as to avoid blistering.
 If the touching is repeated this way a number of times it will afford relief from itching. and will gener- ally cause the eruption 10 disappear.
 Sometimes 1t is most convenient to hold the affected parts over a bath tub and splash the water on 1t with a basin.

ON HEALTH--- CAUSES OF HIVES

A person affected with hives, however, should not be satished with temporary relief. He should begin checking up on the foods he eats.
 If he does not know what par. ticuiar food is disagreeing with him a doctor, by means of sensttiyi@ test, will be able to find out.
 Authorities are agreed that ther. are many foods that give rise to hives. though the same food may not have the same effect on all people.
 Another cause of hives is the ab- sorption of poisons from the color

list. and Mrs. Ferguson had been
patrolling the vicinity Of the place,
distributing printed notices informing
prospective purchasers that it was IN
fair to organized labor.
This work evidently was distas,eful
to the management, and a headquar-
ters detective appeared and escorted
the picket TO police station.
The pickets have been withdrawn
pending the outcome Of the arrest
said Henry Miller, chairman of the
adjustment committee. because the
committee decided il did not wan, the
detective force to neglect the pastime
of chasing bootleggers, burglars, muf-
derers and picknockets merely to
harass peaceful pickets.
