yard and shut them up. All this time
she had forgotten that when she went
out so hurriedly she had left the door
open.
Mother Brown had counted the hens
and, had discovered that two were
missing. This occupied her thoughts
to such an extent that she never once
thought of Little Miss Curiosity-the
Young woodchuck who had become a
household pet and lived in the kitchen.
In fact, it was not until Farmer
Browns Boy came in long time aft
erward and she had told him all about
what had happened to the hens that
she remembered Little Miss Curiosity.
She looked for her behind the stove,
but she wasn't there. She looked for
her in the pail, but she wasn't there.
She looked for her everywhere she
could think of and Farmer Browns
Boy helped in the search. But there
was no Little Miss Curiosity to be
found. Then it came to Mother Brown
that she had left the door open in her
haste to save the hens.

THE following rule is credited
l. with more beautiful compilations
than any other method known. Yet
it's the simplest and'm most economical
in skin care Of all.
Wash your face gently with
Palmolive Soap. Massage its balmy
olive and palm oil lather into the
skin. Then rinse with warm water,
and follow with dash of cold.
Do this regularly, and especially
at night, for one week. Note how
much better your skin. Use powder
and makeup all you wish. But never
leave them on over night.

which he could move his vision about

fusion was so intense that he found
ii impossible to determine the or

were made.

and sent 1t scurrying to its finance
