not quite convinced of Robina's

farther. She wanted to see what
was on the other side of that butte
as much as mankind has longed to
see the other side of the moon.
When she started back the cool
of the butte's shadow made her
rest awhile. The heat and the
hypnosis of the shimmering sand
sea put her asleep in spite of her
self. She awoke with a start.
The train was moving, a new
locomotive dragging it and its
broken engine. She ran, fell, picked
herself up, limped forward.
She was alone in the wilderness,
and the train was already a toy
running through gap between two
lofty buttes. Both Knocked the girl

COLORS AND
THRIFT

For the room that must be fur.
nished out of small budget, color
character is of major Importance.
Given fine wall color, and good,
clean contrast of color In rug,
drareries or furniture covers, you
can have livable and interesting
room for a moderate sum Of money.
Wall color should be chosen
with regard for the amount of
light the room receives. Where
there is plenty of sunlight, soft
green is happy choice. In such
room a solid cOlOr-rug in green
a little darker and deeper than tbs
wallis would be effective, with
bright chintz curtains and one or
two OF the larger upholstered
pieces providing the color contrast.
Another interesting t r a m e n
would be to let the rug carry the
burden of color diversity, with a
big chair or, preferably, a couch,
repeating the wall green in deeper
tone.
Color will do the lions share Of
the decorative work in a room, il
it is properly used. A charming
atmosphere may be established by
using interesting color contrasts in
large areas. Once this Is achieved,
you need but one or two good key
pieces of furniture, and the others
may be inexpensive.

1t is for your health and beauty
so warmly indorse the fad of
wearing anklets or short hose at
home, in the house, on warm days
and also for sports wear in the
country, provided the legs are not
too ugly to be revealed and pro-
vided a sense of the fitness of
things does not forbid leaving off
stockings in your particular case.
The legs should match the rest
of the skin in tint; so, IL you make
your face up in sun-tan shades,
your lower limbs will require the
same treatment. A liquid prepara-
ton can be bought for this pur-
pose which resembles natural tan
and does not come off on the
clothing, but it must be carefully
scrubbed off at night with soap
and water.
Cheaper and better. however, is
natural tan. which can be man.
aged nicely by taking sun baths in
your bathing suit. Always anoint
your skin with cold cream before
exposure to the sun, and do not
remain in strong sunlight too
long, else you will parboil your
skin with sunburn, which will sub
sequently peel off, with anything
but a beautiful effect.
The girl who freckles instead
of tanning had best not try for
the sun-tan effect in makeup,
for it will not blend well with
the color of her hair and eyes.
Besides, it is endless trouble to
keep necks, ears, face, legs, arms
and hands an artificial color all
the time.
Legs exposed to view should
be free from superfluous hairs.
If you shave these off with a
safety razor. go over the roots
afterward with a cake of punice
stone dipped in water to wear
down any stubs, rub on cold
cream. then remove the excess.
Use of a mild depilatory will
also remove the hairs, and the
depilatory should be followed by
an application of cold cream.
Whether you wear stockings or
prefer the bare-legged effect, 1t is
essential to have shapely legs in
these days of short skirts. Diet
either to gain or lose weight as
the case may be-is necessary,
combined with vigorous exercise.
Walk energetically, three miles
every day. Practice this dancing
exercise to tune on your phono-
graph:
Stand on your tip toes, hands
on your hips, finger-tips touch

as you can without bending your
knees. Keep in time with the
