BEAUTY How and Why
rRlE WHITE.NESS FOR YOUR HANDS.
 By Ann .Alysis.

How shall we achieve that white- ness Of hand of which the poets sing? Constant care and a few sim- pie toilet aids will do the trick.
 The underlying principle Of clean liness must be invoked. All stains and discolorations must be removed by one of the methods I have pre- yiously explained.
 After using the acid treatment for stains. finish with an alcohol rub and an applica ton of cold cream or other emollient, such as vasellne oi oil, or a good lotion. This will smoothe the skin, and this very smoothness is protection against grimc settling in the small crevices.
 Almost every woman knows the value of lemon juice as whitener of the skin. But 1t should never be used ill undiluteJ form beca use. chemically. lemon juice is almost pure citric acid and all acids have a severe action on the sensitive skin.
 Benzoin is q fragrant gun which has been known to the Oriental beauties for centuries as a skin whitener and beautifier. will de- scribe in a later article how these bleaching agents may be used. when combined in proper proportion and in the right combination.

CT to any portions of the body that move against each. other there are little sacs of fluid which act to re- lieve the pressure aud friction. Under some cirrunatances thes. sacs of fluid become inflamed, either because of infection or b. cause of sudden severe stresses that may be thrown upon them. When they become unframed they are painful. since they arc in con- strtcted positions where they can- not enlarge easily.
 Survey $50 Oaaes
 Investigators in the Massachu- setts General Hospital made . study of 45O consecutive cases in which the chief symptom was pain in the shoulder. In many cases this was due to some definite infection of the joint. In others 1t was due to a broken bone or . dis location, but in a considerable number it was due to a dwelling or the sac that has been mentioned, or to some deformity of structure.
 In many instances the tearing of ligament or the rupture of a portion Of the muscle. such as oc- CUTS in what the athlete calls 'charleyhorse," will lead to se- we're pain in the shoulder.
 causes that may be responsible for painful shoulder, 1t Is sus- gested that a careful study with the X-ray or any other srecia, means of diagnosis be made In every instance. Many people throw undue stress on this joint by bad posture and as result ret the Inflammation of the fluid sacs that have been mentioned.
 Corr<sting the Cause
 Tho treatment Of such cases in- wolves, of course, a correction of the cause. It may be necessary 10 manipulate the joint so as to get the structure into proper position end to hold 1t in that position un- til it has been fixed.
 In practically every instance in- flammation may be relieved by the application of neat. Modern medi- cine provides many methods of securing sufficient heat in such eases. These involve the electri- cal methods. the use of constant ly circulating hot water and the use of other devices which will ar- ply the heat directly to the points concerned and thereby bring about recovery.

 found 1t hard to settle down to the routine of the drama history les soa which I was giving to Eleanor Lincoln. The memory of Dicky's ex- cited voice protesting against my playing governess for old Veritzen's protege" was far more vital than the monologue upon the earliest forms of the drama which was delivering.
 That Eleanor Linopln shared my ennui was certain although she gave me apparently respectful and interested attention. But I think she was as relieved as ] at the slight intermission and diversion afforded us by Jim's knock upon the door which came but a few minutes after I had returned to the library from telephoning Dicky.
 Please excuse me for troubling you" Jim said in his awkward, hon est fashion. "but one rot those rum about tires has slow leak. ] thought maybe you'd want me to see to 1t. I could run 1t around to the back. and take off the tire, only tho key isn't in it."
 looked at my pupil inquiringly. and she took a key fsom her purse and held it out.
 "Thank you. Please see to it. she xatd. and Jim hurried off. A minute later we heard the car under his guidance move 10 the rear of the house out of sight fpm the road. and thus 1t happened that when a few minutes later heard a car drive into the yard and saw through the window that Noel Verjtzen was piloting 1t, there was no sign Of visitor within the young violinist's vistoa.

The next minute We heard a ring at the bell. katie's footsteps clattered down the hall, but when they came back again Noel was not following her <, the library. as l expected. Indeed. Katie did not stop, but went on to the kitchen. Another minute brought the explanation. Lillian, with faintly malicious smile upon her face, brought Noel to the door of the library, and the young man appar- rently not seeing my pupil seated back in the room caught at my hand as if he were capsized in a rough sea and snatchins at a rope.
 Dear Mrs. Graham" he said anxiously. wont you ask Miss ,.ary .o see me. This is the first chance I've had to come here since - do you think she'll see me-"
 Heroically I resisted the tempta- ton to send furtiNe glance in Eleanor Iincoln's direction, and witness the collapse of her egotis- tical theory of Noel's purpose in calling. Instead I put my hand upon his arm and turned with him into the hall. that I might spare her the humiliation of an encounter with hi'i in my presence As l did so. I finished in my own mind his hastily changed sentence.

 There is no reason why she shouldn't see you, Noel,' ] said. 1T will go up to her room as soon as have made my excuses to Miss Iin- coln Will you wait in the living room ?''
 But he was looking at me with widely-opened startled eyes.

No. indeedy, but just made up my mind to tell you about that check first chance ] had--and this is ths i first chance. Lily. you shouldn't have | let that Drummond man give it to you-especially when you have Il i perfectly good husband to buy yol your clothes"
 Lily sneored openly at that. "A!i i the clothes he's bought me so far were kitchen aprons" she said with spirit. forgetting the s75 that Pat had given her weeks before to pay as he thought-for the brown coat suit.
 She spent half of the morning in bed, thinking how much she hated Pat and wishing with all her sonl that he would call up the house to see if she was there. But he did not. and at ten o'clock. when his mother came bustling up the stairs to make the beds. shs got up and went down 10 the telc- phone in the hall She closed the door at the foot of the stairs and quietly gave Staley Drummond's telephone number.
 Afterward she realized that she had no real wish to sec him that day but he stood for excitement ana rebellion in. her mind. She coula "get even' with Pat by seeing him. If he had his Lizzie" Ertz she had her Staley Drummond.
 Hello" she said when he an- swerei his office telephone. Want to bug very hungry woman her lunch today? I'm coming down iowa in about two hours
 They arranged to meet each other at one o'clock.
 But 1t was only twelve when Lily. and she 'windo" shoppcd" for an hour. picking out clothes and jew elry that she would have loved to have and wear.
 The new gold beads and earrings entranced her. . |. How well they would set off her white skin and bright gold hair if she had q set Of them! And the cunning new hel- nets of black felt or velvet that pulled down over the head. And the silver fox scarfs in the furriers' windows! Gorgeous! And me with 15 cents in my purse that. Pats mother let me take::" thought Lily. "and $15 at home, to pay for the food and the ice and the newspaper all this week."
 Suddenly she felt shabby in the clothes she had on--a worn, dark hat and suit from last year. one of the few things she had taken from her fathers house on the day when she left it for good. It was thin, too, shiver. She was pitying herself q great deal when she started along Albemarle street at five minutes after one to me, # Staley.
 Before she reached him she saw him standing m the entrance of his office building watching eagerly for her. And when she was within ten feet of him he saw her
 "Hello!" she heard him say. and just as she put out both her hands in greeting to him man. coming from the opposite direction. caught ' her eye.
 It was Roy Jetterson! She did not speak and neither did he. but she was sure that he was watching her as she put her hands in Staiey's hands and smiled up at him.
 "Stalcy. I'm inxed" she said to him with a nervous little laugh. Every time I meet you or open q present from yol. somebody tba; Pat knows is there 10 witness it!" Do you care?' asked Staley. "1 don't"

 Farmer Browns Boy had gone out to the henyard to sec that the hens had some fresh water. When he went over to the barn. after having taken care of the hens. he heard a sharp squeak just as he opened the barn door.
 That hinge squcaks like a rat. said Farmer Browns Boy. "I shall have to see that it is properly oit- cd."- He clssed the door and turned away frsm 1t. There was the same shaSD squeak again. It was quite evtdest that it was not the hinges ~ that doar. Tt must be some other AooF." said Farmer Browns Boy. "I sueAs the door of the COW stable has been left open and is swinging in the wind. But when he went to look he found that that door also wAs closed.
 6ttll the squeaking continued Then Farmer Browns Boy noticed that there were different kinds Of sQueaka. There were loud squeaks end seft. squeaks and sharp squeaks and shrili squeaks and harsh squsa1k Tho barn was just full Of sQuoa0 rem above. Never had he hsafN ,sp many squeaks. Then h. heard 1 fustiing. It was m4de by the sound of little feet running.
 "RAts!'' exclaimed Farmer Browns Boy. That's what it is, rats! I should think all the, rats in the world were here in this barn. Now what can De the matter with them? Those are squeaks of fear. Rats don't run about and squeak like that unless they are badly frightened. I should think that somebody had turned a ferret loose in here."
 Thinking of che ferret. which you know is . member Of the Weasel family. reminded Farmer Browns Boy of Shadow the Weasel. T won- der" said he. If that little scamp can be over here. It is a long. long time since I've seen Shadow the Weasel. There cant be ferret. be- cause no ferrets are kept anywhere in this section of the country. 1'H have 10 find out. If that little rascal is on the jop here I'll have to watch out for my chickens. IT won't 1o to have him get into the lcn- house."
 Meanwhile Robber the Rat and all his relations were having a fer rible fright. Not even Robber him self. the oldest. biggest and fiercest of the tribe dared faoe Shadow the Weasel. The word was simply passed 10 young and old to run and hide.
 "But why should We hidc?" cried one frightened young rat.
 No one stopped 10 answer the question. ou see. all the old and experienced rats knew that 1t was impossible 70 hide from Shadow inc Weasel. They knew that he could get into any place they could get if:to and they know that his nose could follow them. Robber himself passed the word among the rats rcarest him to scatter in different directions. ''If We all go in ,hc same direction said Robher. that fol- low will kill all of US If we scatter in different directions he can follow only one at a tine'
 Now this was the very best Of good advice. Robber the Rat has wise head an1 is quick Of wi. You may be sure that he saw 10 it that no one went with him excepting Mrs. Robber.

~AN you afford to can fruit and

that you ought to consider
~ very carefully before you start
out on your Summer canning
operations.
And don't let the fact that your
ideal of the model housewife is one who
always does can quantities Of fruit and
vegetables every Summer settle the
matter. For your mother or grand
mother there were no two sides Of the
question. But you must consider the
price of fuel, the price of raw fruits
and vegetables. the good quality and
comparatively low price of bought can
ned things, the possibility OF spelling
your own products, the question OF
storage, the possibility Of moving and
the consequent trouble Of moving can
ned goods and the actual value OF
your own time and strength.
An excellent plan is to figure pre-
cisely the cost per jar of any sort of
canned goods you contemplate putting
Up, taking into consideration the fruit
or vegetables, sugar and other ingredi-
ents, a fair estimate for fuel, cost OF
necessary jars and canning equipment.
Perhaps you may not want to charge
anything off to your own time, and II
you would not be otherwise gainfully
employed or If you do not have to get
extra help to do work that you might
otherwise be doing. then the tim3

Compare the cost per jar with the
cost per Jar of good bought products
and then decide for yourself whether
the amount you save makes II worth
while.
Personally think that in many in
stances it is rather foolish to botflr-

with marmalade or the usual sort OF
jams and jellies. But there art ru-
merous unusual conserves and relishes
of the sort that are higher priced be-
