WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
ADVICE ON BUSINESS
BY BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

! a mans credit are to be regarded. The
sound of your hammer at in the
morning or 9 at night, heard by a
creditor, makes him easy six months
longer; but If he sees you at billiard
table, or hears your voice at a tavern
when you should be at work, he sends
for his money the next day; demands
it, before he can receive 1t, in lump.
1t shows besides, that you are mind
full Of what you owe; 1t makes you APP
pear a careful as well as an honest
man, and that still increases your
credit.
Beware of thinking all your own that
you possess, and of living accordingly.
It Is a mistake that many people
who have credit fall into. To prevent
this, keep an exact account for some
times both of your expenses and your
income If you take the pains at first
to mention particulars, 1t will have this
good effect, you will discover how won
derfully small, trif1ing expenses mount
I'D to large sums, and will discern what
might have been, and may, for the fu-
.ture, be saved, without occasioning any
great inconvenience.
In short, the way to wealth, If you
desire it, is as plain as the way &c
market It depends chiefly on two
words-industry and frugality. (econ-
ony): that is, waste neither time moi
money, but make the best use OF both:
without industry and frugality moth
ing will do, and with them, everything
He that gets all he can honestly, and
saves all he gets necessary expenses
excepted), will certainly become rich, u
that Being who governs the world, tc
whom all should look for a blessing on
their honest endeavors, doth not. In His
wise providence, otherwise determine.

BEAUTY CHATS
BY EDNA KENT FORBES

and rub under the chin for about ten
minutes. If the skin is not particularly
dry but merely stretched because there
is too much fat underneath, don't use
cold cream, but use the ice directly on
the skin.
A little extra care given to the chin
morning and night when you do your
face Is all you need. It takes about
two extra minutes each day.
C. SIT is not likely that the occa-
sional smoking you do has anything to
do with these waiteheads that appear
on your skin. They come from sluggish
action of the skin, and anything that
improves the activity of the pores ~or
increases the circulation will tend
toward clearing your skin of these
| blemishes. Daily warm baths, friction
from a coarse towel. cold showers, will
help to clear the skin and improve the
condition. The treatment is about the
same as that for blackheads, and in
either case, it is best not to pinch or
squeeze the skin, but trust to better
action of the skin all over your body,
to relieve the sluggish condition on
| your face.

why are Rhoda and Lucy at the
new house," this one queried. And
"how comes the door to be open?"
Rhoda was the 15-year-old third
daughter of Robert Cary and Lucy a
mere child of two. In a busy country
home the youngest child generally is
in the custody of the older one. II
they had been caught in the vicinity
of the new house 1t would have been
natural for Rhoda to seek refuge In
it with her little sister. But scarcely
were the questions asked before the
two appeared in the family's midst.
They had been in the old house
throughout the storm.
The strange woman and child were
now seen to step back into the new
house and disappear. Immediately
Robert Cary set off to find out about
them.
Only the open door greeted him
Though he went upstairs and down and
all around he saw neither woman MOI
child. And neither on the new, clean
floors. nor the rain-softened soil out
side could he find a single trace OF
! footsteps.
The countryside revealed no depart
ing figures.
The Carys occupied the new resi-
dence soon after that time with feel
ing of apprehension. Within the, first
year Rhoda and Lucy Cary were
stricken down by violent fever. Both
died!
The apparition of little Lucy Cary
was later reported to have been seer
about the house. It is related that
one day a boy who had no knowledge
Of the previous happenings came run
ming downstairs, pale with fright.
There's a little girl upstairs in 9

Chin Lines.

Never let the line under your chin
become fabby or old looking. It is ex-
tremely difficult to bring this line back
to smoothness and f1rmness and youth,
once you've lost it. But 1t is not hard
to keep it young.
You must watch your profile care
fully all the time. If you have any
tendency to plumpness, you'll find that
line under the chin changing when you
are still in your teens. At first it won't
seem bad, but quite suddenly, when all
the other lines in your face begin to
mature, this one will count very badly
against you.
The first thing is to keep it slender
If you have tendency to superfiuouS
flesh it will begin to collect under the
chin: a whole pocket of it will form
there, stretching the skin and running
the clean, attractive line that should
give grace and youth to the profile
Therefore, you must diet, and at the
same time massage under the chin to
spread and scatter the flesh so 1t has
no chance of forming. If necessary,
night, either with a homemade chin
strap or with any of the straps that the
beauty shops sell.
You must also massage with ice. This
is quite magical in its effect. It
strengthens weak muscles, 1t Scatters
soft flesh that has collected, 1t shrinks
flesh that has stretched and tones UP
muscles that have sagged from age. II
the skin is dry. rub it first with cold
cream, hold piece of ice in cloth

reception at Wizards Hotel tonight. It
was attended by many hundreds OF
observation-disclosures, and was fitting COM

"plucked the city from the mire" and

than any welcome heretofore accorded

Mr.. and Mrs. Shepherd took q posi-
ton In the central room soon after
o'clock. Mr.. Mattingly stood at the ex-
governors right and presented each
caller to him by name. He in turn
presented them to Mrs. Shepherd. The

the time fixed to end the reception.

of Mr.. Shepherd appeared he cast aside

The following strange episode of
Phoebe Carys youth, told by her to
her niece, Ada Carnahan, and by her
put down in writing, has an atmos-
phere of the most extreme unreality.
In relation to 1t, it should be stated
that Phoebe Cary was woman OF
robust mentality possessing keen and
healthy wit that made her the most
enjoyable company. After she and
her sister Alice had gone to New York
and their fame as poets had admitted
them to the choicest intellectual circles,
Phoebe Cary was the scintillating chief
figure of the Evenings" which made
her and her sisters home social
center of the metropolis.
The uncanny episode which has been
perpetuated by Ada Carnahan occur
red during the early days in the
vicinity of Cincinnati.
Robert Gary, father OF the two girls,
. who were later to obtain so much
fame, had had a new residence built.
This house stood not far from the one
which the family had long occupied.
THE view between the two was un-
obstructed.
Robert Cary was out in his fields
one afternoon when sudden thunder
shower drove him from his work. He
hurried to the house. where all the rest
OF the family presumably had gathered.
The Middle West has many swiftly
passing Summer storms. Black clouds
suddenly roll up and charge across the
countryside, precipitating a heavy fall
Of rain to the accompaniment of light
ming and thunder. Then the storm has
passed as quickly as it came and a
brilliant sun shines again upon moist
and dripping world.
The Carys once more ventured into
the open. It was at this instant that
