Twenty or Forty?

That's the question which used to
be asked by the manufacturer of some
facial cream. 1t was in an advertise
| ment which showed two pictures, and
you were supposed to tell, if you could,
which was old, which young.
The advertisement was supposed to
show that if the woman of 40 pasted
the cream on her face she'd look like
20. 1t didn't suggest that the same
stuff would make the girl of 20 look
like 40 AS a matter of fact, both of
them looked like co.
But this isn't supposed to be a talk
about cosmetics, .for I've something
better on my mind. What I want to

not the kind of cosmetics we are using,

of 40 exchange ages. The old are
young and the young are old.
When it comes to dress and the ar
ranging of the hair, the impression is

styles are such that all women look

For ages, or ever since Ponce de Leon
went to Florida, men have been on the
lookout for something to make 'em
young. They have put on short pants,
know, but their bald heads give them
away for so. No, it's the women who
have grabbed Ponce's stuff, but instead
of drinking it, they put it on the out
side.
A young girl doesn't really mind
when her mother steals her stuff, and
the girl of 20 is glad to have the

a girl is going to move around among
people nowadays she has to have the
wisdom of a grown-up woman.
1t looks as though the mothers were
coming down from the fortieS to meet
the daughters who are moving up from
the twenties. The older and younger
generations have swapped ages. Mothers
are young because they want to be.
Daughters are old because they have
to be.
It's good thing for us to realize that
we are expected to carry ourselves as
though we were experienced women.
We may not have any wrinkles on our
faces, but we have to have some wrin-
kles in our brains.
I'm glad that we of this generation
are wise, but I'm sorry that we have

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
BY MEHRAN X. THOMSON.

It used to be said that you can tell
a man by the company he keeps. 1t
would be truer and more up-to-date to
say that you can tell man by the
car he keeps and the way he keeps it.
What a man does to his auto and
what he does with it reveal his char
acter
The type of car that man buys is
significant. Now that there are styles
in autos as we'll as in dress mans
taste and temperament are expressed
even more fundamentally through his
automobile than in his personal ap-
pearance. The conservative person will
be inclined to favor the car with a
pedigree, one which has been on the
market for some years and has proved
its practicability and worth. He will
not fall for balloon tires and four
wheel brakes and other snewfangled
notions until they have been estab-
lished and taken for granted in the
whole industry as these things now are.
The level-headed person stays in his
class. He doesn't mortgage his home
for a $4,000 car when his financial
standing warrants nothing above the
thousand dollar mark.

cost whatever.
For a centerpiece for dining table
or note of green on some occasional
table, grapefruit seeds can be planted.
These take some time to grow, but
are as dainty as can be for such uses.
Plant the grapefruit seeds from morn

pot in the sun, water freely and watch
the results.
The tops of carrots are feathery and
are successfully combined with a few
gay blossoms to form attractive bou-
quets for tall vases. The green falls in
graceful curves over the vase with suf-
ficient fronds outstanding to mix well
with the flowers. If you have no
flowers. make them from cranberries.
Put one on the end of a fine wire and
leave a rather long end to the wire.

My Neighbor Says:

When ironing linens cover
piece of beeswaX with flannel and
rub over the surface of the iron.
Linens ironed with an iron treat
ed in this manner will have a
fine gloss.
To wash stippled or painted
walls make a weak solution of
water and a sudless cleaning
powder. Go over the walls light
ly with woolen cloth wrung out
of the solution.
Kerosene lamps should be fill
ed every day and the chimneyS
washed once a week. To insure
a perfect light, let every lamp
have a new wick once a month,
and just before lighting rub care
fully the body or stand of the
lamp SO that all the smell of oil
is removed.
To prevent new shoes pinching,
lay a cloth moistened in hot wa
ter across the place where the
pressure is felt most, changing
the cloth as soon as it becomes
cool. This will make the leather
shape itself to the foot.

Boldness of Buster Bear.
BE bold enough. but not too bold"
Is good advice for young or old.
Buster Bear

Buster was growing more crafty every
day. For a whole week he kept away
from that part of the forest which was
around the farm where he had stolen
the pig and where later he had been
shot at and hit. The wound was only
skin deep and had healed. 1t didn't
bother Buster at all. But Buster kept
the memory of it and he intended to
run no risk of being hit by another
bullet. At the end of week. Buster
went back. He made his home under
the big windfall where he had slept
before.
Now, it makes little difference to
Buster Bear whether it be night or day.
He sleeps when he feels sleepy and at
other times wanderS about looking for
something to eat. Every time he had
visited the pig pen, it had been in the
darkness of night or just before the
break of day. Buster was thinking of
this.
IF that man with the terrible gun
is waiting for me, it will be after dark, l"
thought Buster. II believe the safest
time would be to visit that pig pen in
broad daylight. No one would expect
AAAS w AO UAAoV' = SANC NAACAA ga -
surprise"
So Buster began spending consider
able time along the edge of the woods,
spying on the farmer and the things
going on about the farm. What he saw
satisfied him that If he were to try for
another pig, the time to do it would be
in full daylight. You see, that farmer
was working in different parts of the
farm during the day. 1t hadn't entered
his head that Bear would be bold
enough to do such thing.
So it was that one morning Buster
Bear, watching from the woods, saw the
farmer drive over to his cornfield, where
the corn was standing in shocks. He
had gone to bring load of it up to the
farm. Buster waited until the farmer
was busy putting the corn in the wagon.
Then he shuffled out from the woods
and, keeping the barn between him and
the farmer, he made straight for that
pig pen at the back of the barn. He
couldn't see the farmer, but he knew
where the farmer was. He knew also
that the farmer couldn't see him and
didn't know where he was. So he bold
ly shuffled along straight over to the
pig pen and climbed over into it.
There was great Squealing then!
Yes, sir, there was great squealing
then! Buster wasted no time. He knew
Evening star., 1928-12-04

he gets one is also a valuable index
to his character. Inherent carelessness
is bound to be reflected In the condi-
ton Of ones auto. So is the opposite
trait Of old-maidish care and fore
sight. The great majority of car own
ers don't get caught without gasoline
more than once. And yet there are
careless people even in these days of
efficient gas gauges conspicuouSly dis
played who are constantly running out
of gas.
The road hog is too conspicuously a
selfish clod to need further comment.
The character traits find expression in
conduct. The auto is merely an occa-
sion for expressing those traits; hence
a valuable index to character and per-
sonality.
The future employment expert will
insist upon taking ride with his pros
pective employe to observe the condi-
ton OF the mans car and the way
he drives it.
There are many guide posts to char
acter. Not the least of these is the
type Of car man owns and the way
he keeps it.
A mans car proclaims the man.

Santa Claus, and they could prove it.
The story might end at this point
and impress the reader There is q
sequel. One of the three youngsters
was a boy. He never forgot the visit
of the store Santa Claus, even though
some of the following Christmases pro-
vided less joy and fewer presents.
When he was old enough he went to
school, He became business man at
II, and by means of restless energy
and persistent industry gained small
fortune
Each Christmas he spends a huge
sum for scores of unfortunate children
to whom Santa is only myth. Dur
ing his time he has brought delight to
hundreds of youngsters, most of whom
are ignorant of the source of their gifts.
Because one man many years ago ex-
pressed the spirit of Christmas 10 him,
he has emulated the example. We won-
der where the old fellow is today.

Fate dispenses a varied assortment Of
gifts. To one it offers a sheltered,
prosaic existence; to another it gives a
life of adventure and excitement. Mil
lions are destined to spend a lifetime IN
one locality where each marries. buys a
home. raises a family, pays his bills
surance payments. other millions
perhaps fewer-are the happy vaga-
bonds whose homes are where the hat
happens to hang at the time. That is,
they are happy until such holidays as
Christmas approach.
We have been a member of the latter
clan. There are no persons more deserv-
ing of pity than the vagabonds who are
far from home and friends on Christ
mas They gather in groups on Christ
mas eve, whatever they may be. and
endeavor in an inadequate fashion to
diffuse artificial joy. They are secretly
envious of the man whose life is drab
and colorleSs, just as the latter so often
Graves the career of the soldier of
fortune.

third was hemstitched. Then real lace
was stitched around the ends of the

that that farmer would hear that
squealing. He seized a pig, climbed
back over the side of the pen and car
ried the pig away with him. He hur-
ried Yes, indeed, he hurried. Straight
for the woods he made. He heard the
slamming of the house door. He heard
the yell of the farmer in the distance,
who had guessed that something was
wrong with his pigs. Buster didn't stop
to look back. His boldness had won
him another pig and getting that pig
to where he could safely stop to eat It
was the one thing he was thinking
about.

Christmas morning found the three
children surrounded by an amazing ar
ray of gifts. Even the parents had
been remembered. In one corner of
the small parlor stood bewildering

down with glittering objects, candy
canes and stockings. There was a
