auctions for the public. But her
preparation for that work started In
her early childhood. When she was

elders as a strangely thoughtful
child. BY the time she was eight she
had developed u taste for books writ

ing her recreation hours in corners
poring over such volumes as De
Foes History OF the Devil" Essays
by Charles Lamb and Bunyan's

George Eliot's childhood reading
was not limited to printed books for.
In those early years, as her later
works show. the people around her.
the little world through which she
walked and events that trsnspired.
10 her were books that invited con.
ming. And what she learned from
these she later wrote into volumes
that made her world-famous.
1t was IN that period OF her child
hood that George Eliot began to
evidence an inquisitiveness In the
life around her that vas prophetic.
Nothing was too commonplace or too
simple to escape her inquiring inter
est And IL is written OF her that
the questions with which she bonn
bardod her elders often showed a
penetrating observation that. IN a
child. was amazing. Indeed. 1t IL said
many OF her questions were OF a
depth that embarrassed those around
who were supposed 10 be wise.
And the childhood sayings" OF
George Eliot show that those around
her were not the only targets OF her
inquisitiveness. AS q little girl. she
acquired the habit OF asking herself
questions-and OF working out the
answers according TO her own lights
and in her W way. In many OF
those sayings" she registered a
power OF analysis that later stood
her in good stead when she turned
to the character drawing that gives
her novels such distinguishing merit.
George Eliot did not begin the

could not burst into bloom until the
groundwork was laid And while her
gift did not express itself for the
public TO see until much later. she
really began her career in early
childhood. Nor was this early part
Of her development simply In the
way OF general preparation. A COM

My study has led me to an ol6
favorite-the cucumber for
bleachingi It Is added 20 other in
gradients and ends by being a per-
fectly gorgeously gratifying
bleach-nourishing cream e.
than which there can be nothing
more pleasing to the heart Of
woman!
Whether your skin is dry,
normal or oily doesn't make the
least bit Of difference to this
miracle cream. If your skin Is oily
there is sufficient drying prop
critics IN the cucumber essence to
counteract the oiliness. If your
skin il dry, there In more than
enough remedial oils in the cream
to offset the drying tendency of
the cucumber.
Such a cream has long been
sought. especially by those women
who suffer dry skin problems. be-
cause for them, all bleaching Is a
lengthy process since, with most
methods, additional care had TO be
taken 10 keep the bleaching from
mourning or aggravating the dry
state.
I'll tell you how to make the
cucumber ointment first because
that has to stand for twenty-four
hours before It is. ready for use.
Take six medium-siLed cucum-
bers and chop them up very fine,
skin, seeds and meat Cover the
chopped cucumbers with two and
one-half ounces of alcohol. You
can use a very h~igh-grade rubbing
alcohol, but be sure to tell your
druggist that you want to use Il
for making q cream for the face so
that he gives You the best quality.
Let this stand for twenty-fouf
hours and then strain off through
a double layer Of c~heesecloth.
Now to make the cucumber
cream:
Place two ounces Of white wax
and two ounces Of spermaceti into
a small clean pan, preferably an
enamel one, and set il over a slow
fire to melt. When the wax and
spermaceti are melted, remove
from the fire and then, while beat
ing it hard, add two ounces of
olive oil (castor oil is much better
If you'll use IT'D and six ounces Of
almond oil and two and one-half
ounces Of rose water.
You'll have to beat the mixture
constantly and the rose water
should be added last when the in
gradients are nearly cold. As soon
as the ose water is mixed in, add
four ounces of the cucumber ONT
ment and keep right on stirring
furlouSly for a moment or two.
Because one hand is needed for
pouring and one for mixing il is
most convenient to use a fork for
beating the cream until all ingredi-
ents have been added. Switch
quickly then TO a cream whipper
of the dover type and continue
whipping the cream for five
minutes or SO.
Use at night after cleansing and
let it remain on until morning.
