A Stranger

It was true. Farrell was prac-

She had promised to marry
this stranger. At any time he

she keep her promise. He

THE BEAUTY
BOX
BY Helen Follett-

What every girl should un-
derstand is that she can't work
all of the tricks of the max
up box at one and the same
time. The human face can't
stand the strain. If she wants
to enhance her souls shining
windows by applying eye Shad-
ows, we'll and good. Brown
shadows for brown eyes; blue
green for grey eyes; blue-purple
for blue eyes. But with eye
shadows there must be no fac
tory bushes laid upon the
cheeks! The cherry lips should
be toned down. They should be
toned down anyway. Lipsticks
have become an old story now.
The raspberry jam smear pals
on the optic nerve.
The cold cream Jar is the
Complexion's good friend. The
skin, constantly shedding, con-
stantly exposed to atmospheric
dust, scorching sunlight and
strong winds, needs plenty of
lubricating. When the cold
cream suddenly gives out and
there is no better substitute at
hand. use the top cream on
the milk. 1t is soothing and
Softening.
Dentists tell you now to
Shimmy the toothbrush when
cleaning teeth. Place the
bristles upward against the
gums, shimmy gently, then
bring down with a rolling mo-
ton, so that the bristles travel
along between the teeth. Mas
sage the gums gently once a
day.

/. Usually during the cere-

While you are dining. you
should remove the gloves-re-

them-this is the more formal
thing to do, of courSe-or not

you may wear them during the

later. when after much dane

such case. it is not attractive or

STATE'SSCENIC ATTRACTIONS

(ThiS is one of a series of ar
ticles describing the different
types of scenic and tourist at
fractions found in Arizona, is
sued by the Arizona Industrial
Congress in the interest of the
"See Arizona" movement.)
The lovely lakes that gleam invit-
ingly through the pines on the high
ways south of Flagstaff afford still
another source of rest and recrea-
ton for Arizona vacationists. To
those for whom the joys of boating,
swimming and fishing have the
greatest appeal, Lake Mary, Mormon
Lake, Stoneman Lake and the many
smaller bodies of water in northern
Arizona are a paradise of summer
land.
Tall pines fringe the shores of
these lakes, and beyond, high noun
tain peaks tower against the sky,
creating a picture of unusual beauty.
The rarified air of the high alti-
tude adds much to the reviving eff
feet of this north country on tired
minds and bodies, and to it's linger-
ing fascination.
Nine miles south, of Flagstaff,
Nogales international., 1930-07-04

and only a few minutes motor
drive, brings the ardent "See Ari-
conan" to Lake Mary. Here a well
equipped lodge and plentiful camp
ing sites furnish all that could be
desired for vacation comfort. For
sport, there is fishing or an incig-
Grating swim, and at evening, the
calm enjoyment of a gliding beat
over the tranquil surface CT the
lake, watching the sunset colors
glow and fade across the sky. The
highway runs on the east side of the
lake and most people stop there,
but much that is rugged and beau
tiful can be enjoyed on the other
side, reached by narrow, winding
trail.
Coming now to the largest natur-
al body OF water in the state, fur
ther south and 25 miles from Flag
staff is Mormon Lake With it's cir
conference of 25 miles, this lake
has unlimited possibilities for re-
creation. Bass and perch ever lure

sen, ducks and geese are plentiful,

resort. recommendations for sum-
mer vacation areas by the Arizona
Industrial Congress include this de
lightful lake region which is yearly
becoming more popular. Several
lodges are available to visitors, while
many people have established cab
ms of their own.
To the south again is Stoneman
Lake, another beautiful body of wa
ter and considered by many to be
the most scenic of all. Here in an
oval crater among the mountains
this lovely lake reflects the pine
covered mountain sides that rise
abruptly from it's shores in all their
charm. While not so easily acces-
sible to campers, the region well
deserves it's growing popularity.
These northern lakes are ideal
spots for permanent summer homes
and are more and more being the

atmosphere.
Besides the three larger lakes
there are Rogers Lake, Moritz Lake,
Hay Lake and Oak Creek within a
short radius, with added advantages
for fishing and camping.
Motor boating at both Mormon
and Mary lakes, adds to the var
iety of water sports possible in this
region and lures many who do not
care so much for fishing or hiking.
From the southern part of the
state, this alluring chain of lakes
can be reached by way of Payson
and Pine, or Camp Verde, through
a gloriously scenic region, or by the
route north through Prescott to
Flagstaff.
All the northern area within easy

40 those who love art for arts sake,
whose devotion is centered in their
calling, and to the fellow who can't get
away at all, or if he can, who hasn't
the money for it, vacation must seem
like the blessing of riches, one of those
precious things that Lady Luck dis
tributes with much partially.
It is true that tradition has brought
down to us from times remote the
aphorism "All work and no play makes
Jack dull boy" but as matter of
fact, does it? Isn't it true that the
more one works the sharper becomes
the powers of perception, of initiative.
Wasn't it work that made some fellow
invent the dishwasher and drier, and
is not the midnight oil-another name
for persistent labor reaching into the
wee sfna' hourS-that is credited with
the wonderful accomplishments of the
great ones whom history loves 10 honor?
The italians are credited with the
conception of the dolce far niente,"
meaning sweet idleness, but Italy is
said to be very warm IN the Summer
time. To the really lazy man all times
are vacation time, because without
work he has no incentive to inspiration
and no desire for accomplishment.
And vet with the approach of warm
weather, the thought that one has the
time and the means to seek the higher
levels where the thermometer restricts
