Grown Pup
BY LIZ HUME

One marked advantage in
getting a puppy partially grown
is that one has better oppor-
tunity to study the animals
intelligence.
A puppy at this period should
show quite plainly his mental
equipment as well as his physi-
cal development-and his de-
velopment along the standard
lines of the breed to which he
belongs. Thus, one avoids a
certain amount of the risk in
volved in the selection of an
infant puppy.
Needless to state, however, a
puppy of this grade must be
expected to cost considerably
more than much younger one.
The breeder has not only
had to feed and care for the
animal all this time, he has
been required to run the risk
of illness and death on the
youngsters part as we'll as the
risk of its developing into an
inferior specimen for which he
could obtain very little or moth
ing in the market.
1t is not such a difficult task
to pick out an intelligent puppy
from a litter. He will pick
himself out if you will give him
the chance to do so.
In the majority of cases a
really smart pup is quite apt
to be very mischievous. He
will turn out to be far more
reliable and sensible than the
quiet, dull, slow-moVing dog.
Do not condemn him. how
ever, should he express tim
idity. For contrary to many
opinions, a timid puppy is al
most invariably an exceedingly
brilliant one.

the guest of honor? c.
You, the hostess, must first
decide if the dinner, even
though it is an informal one. is
to be given in honor of the
fiancee. I. it is. and if this is
understood, then this young
lady would be given the seat OF
honor, at the hosts right.
If, on the other hand, you are
giving just a family party, not
necessarily in honor of the fl
ancee. then it would be proper
to have your mother sit in the
place of honor, at the hosts
right. The fiancee at the hosts
left. The hostess father at the
hostess right, and her brother
at her left.

They're so full of tricks. there's

Six months ago. fell in love
with a girl in our office. and
she seemed to return my affec-
tion, even with interest.
Shortage of cash prevented
cur being married, though she
said she was willing to keep on
with her job. But I doubted
If that would be allowed.
Suddenly I noticed very
lovely flowers round her apart
ment, and she smiled and looked
coy when I asked her who
sent them.
A box arrived one night.
when I was calling, and I
made sure of the florists name.
Then I went to the shop and
discovered her little secret. She
was sending them to herself.
Now, I like this girl and I'd
be delighted to marry her, but
we can't marry on nothing.
What do you think of her little
scheme? WONDERING,
Your girl thought if she could
make you a little jealous, it
would perhaps quicken your
step toward the altar.

Sluggish Skins
Need Rich
Cream
BY JULIET SHELBY

Skins do get tired.looking and
sluggish, especially during q
holiday period, when so much en-.
ergy goes into festive prepara-
ton. And it is just the time we
wish to look our most radiant,
We like those whom we have
not seen for ages to say to us:
You really don't look a day
older! How DO you do it?"
Tired, sluggish skins require a
rich nourishing cream-one that
will keep the active tissues we'll
fabricated, smooth and unlined.
And it is the woman with a drv

skin that must be particularly
careful to ward off wrinkles.
There is a new cream which
should like you to know about. 1t
is a cream which claims to be lr.
radiated with vitalizing. health
giving ultraviolet rays. Be that
as it may, can tell you that I
think it is an excellent nOurish-
ing cream for skins that have
grown old before their time and
for faces that are showing the
strain of the Christmas rush.
You use it very Sparingly after
a cream cleansing, on the neck
and face, giving special atten-
ton to the corners of the eyes
and mouth and under your chin.
You may leave it on all night,
but if you feel you require a
toning-up before stepping out for
the afternoon or evening, apply
a little of the cream and relax
for a few moments. Then wipe
your skin with cotton saturated
in an astringent. Apply bit
of finishing cream and 10! your
vital glow has been revived!
Those who make it claim that
1t banishes slight skin blem-
ishes, I have not tested it for
that. but it does, through con-
slant use, refine the texture OF
a skin that has been neglected.
1t gives the face and neck a
firmer, more youthful appear
ance. The jar is small for the
price, but as you use it very
sparingly, I suppose it is no
more expensive in the long run
than other good nouriShing face
creams.

When I am at the movies 7 bite my
nails mconsciouSly and am 50 dis
gusted with myself afterward. Is there
a solution I can put on them to dis
courage biting? LONELY.
Answer-Your habit is probably due
to faulty training in childhood that
has concentrated your attention on
this fault instead Of turning your
mind to other things. Your problem
is to re-educate your mind on this
point. You may try painting your
flngertips with tincture Of bitter aloes.
Instead of spending your spare time
at the movies, keep yourself busy with
outdoor sports and manual work. Do
not give yourself the opportunity to
bite your nails; be so busy that you
won't have the time to think about
biting nails. I think this method will
cure you sooner than any other.
