Gus than no letters! They usually

1t is well to be careful what

Nothing sounds Slllier than
gushing love letters when the

THE BEAUTY

yellow ones and inclines toward
faint rose. old blue, orchid. and
mulberry. Direct lighting from
walls or ceiling is not flattering.

at bedtime, dip a bit Of gauze in
witch hazel and bind on the chin.
To avoid Q flaccid neck, hold
the chin up when sewing or
reading. The habit Of lowering
the head let's the muscles sag.
An excellent exercise IL to turn
the head slowly from side to side,
and then throw 1t forward and
back. Exercise means nothing
unless there is q hard pull on
the muscles.
When brushing the teeth, place
the brush so that the bristles
point upward toward the gums
and then "shimmy" the brush.
This means that the upper por.
ton of the tooth will be scrubbed,
without injury to the gums. Gums

MAKING THE
MOST OF LIFE
by Lucy Lowell

IF you find that you are utterly.
4 blissfully contented with your
self-with your work. your accom-.
plishments. your life exactly as it
Is today--it Is time for you to 90
into executive session with your
self.
Are you so satisfied with where
you are that you wish to remain in
just this place throughout all tho
days to come? Do you feel that
right now you have attained the
fulfillment of your experience
that there is no farther for you
to go-that YOU have. no desire to
go farther even IL you might?
Do you feel like reaching around
and patting yourself on the back
with the observation. well done,
old son-take rest now-no need
to struggle along any more"7
II your answer to these IL
''yes" you had better stop, look
and listen, for you are In danger.
You are threatened with the
deadly thing that happens to any
one who believes 1t possible to
stand still.
Existence is not built on this
plan, that there is any stopping
for an intelligent consciousness.
Life is motion always-motion
forward. There IL movement the
other way but It is involuntary
movement, the backward pull
toward destruction, dissolution,
death.
And between the two IL no
resting place, no lodgment where
time apS eternity stand stfll.
"The ideal life wrote Phillips
Brooks, ''is in our blood and
never win be still. Sad win be
the day for any man when he
becomes contented with the
thoughts he is thinking and the
deeds he is doing-when there
is not forever beating at the
doors Of his soul some great de-
sire to do something larger which
he knows that he was meant
and made to do"
To know that you were meant
and made to do better things
than ever you have done before,
this Is the fulftllment of life;
this is the grain of discomfort
which will keep you moving al
ways ahead joyously ana per-
sistently.

MAYONNAISE
RECIPES

Because Of the somewhat tenn.

naise dressing, one must add only
friendly flavors or substances and
nothing that will cause the in.

part company and return to their
original form.
Yet, why so many people serve
plain mayonnaise dressing re.
peatedly is one of the unsolved
mysteries of habit. 1t takes only
the addition to one-fourth cup of
chilli sauce to a cup of mayonnaise
to produce a perfect Thousand
Island dressing as any restaur.
ant serves. The chilli sauce should
be folded mot stirred into the
dressing just before 1t Is served.
Other variations that give snap
and flavor to this dressing are
one-fourth cup of chopped pimerto,
for Russian dressing: two table.
spoons Of tomato catsup and a
tablespoon each Of chopped chives
and green pepper for a dressing
of French flavor. A tablespoon
of Worcestershire sauce will give
character to any mayonnaise dress.
