There is nothing like a face
masque to revive the tired beau
ty of woman's skin and to pep

But let me tell you young things
right now, face masques of the

not for you. No girl younger
than twenty-five years should

Mosques of this type are
strongly astringent. And be-
cause they are astringent they
can quickly firm the tired, sag

give your skin a radiant clarity.

Children Like
White Mica
As Pets
BY LIZ HUME

All children, and a great
many grownups, like white
mice as pets.
In the first place they are so
little and children like little
things. And in the second and
third they are the most attract
i've and adorable of little crea-
lures. There is something ir-
resistible about a mouse-itS
dainty ways, its funny little
whiskers and its intelligent
beady little eyes.
Persons who have never had
them as pets are apt to object
to them on the grounds that
they are not clean. Which is
a mistake.
They are as clean (cleaner if
poSSible) as a cat. They hate
dirt and will not thrive properly
in captivity unless their living
quarters are kept as clean as
new pin.
White mice are, of course,
the most popular pet variety.
There are many others, how
ever, and in selecting your mice
you may haev only to make a
choice of color.
White ones should be pure
white, not yelloWish, and with
short, glossy fur. Other colors
are black, gray, yellow, plum
color and chocolate brown. In
terbreeding has produced two
color mice, black and white,
gray and white, etc.
Mice are very easily tanned,
and will learn to do an aston
iShing number of tricks. They
are naturally busy little crea-
lures and like to have something
to do. They adore a small see
saw, a climbing pole or a tight
rope.
A revolving wheel is good, but
it should be suspended from
above. With side supports there
is always danger of the tiny per-
former getting its head caught.
Breeding mice is heaps of fun.
The babies are charming, and
the little mouse mother the most
devoted Of parents. She is very
fusSy about her infants and dis
likes having their nap times dis
turbed above all things.
The babies are born quite
helpless and naked, but in 10
days as a rule have a decent
coat of fur and open their eyes.
During the first 10 days, while
they are still immature, it is i'm
portant that the little family be
not disturbed. Restrain your i'm
patience to see them until the
end of this period.
At some later date we will dis
cusS the proper food and hous-
ing for pet mice. One last word,
however, if you want pet mice
get them at a pet store. Wild
mice are not so easily tanned.
If you have good picture Of
your pet, Liz Hume invites you
to send it in for use inf this col
umn. No pictures returned.
1t is also very probable that
some of your experiences would
be of interest and value to
other owners of pets. Address
