Can keep you from feeling
In the Grand Tanner.
And no live person who dareS
To think TO- himself
Who dares to let himself
Be Wrung by pity,
Burned by fury,
LaShed by shame
Or uplifted by ecstacy,
Can ever be
Entirely obscure
Or unsuccessful
For the very richness
And audacity
Of such a mans feelings,
Set him apart from
And give him power over
The timid, sluggish herd.
Dare to feel!
Dare to feel!
What you want to feel
Regardless of eXpediency-
And don't worry
About what that feeling
Will do to your life
That feeling IS your life,
1t is all the life
You will ever have
If it is a noble feeling,
If it makes you
Stronger and wiser,
Gentler and more tolerant,
It is worth
Anything it costs
And you should worry
About cowardly crackers!

Nobility of Character Doesn't
Always Meet Its Just Reward

Always Meet Its Just Reward
This is the story of Mary
Ann-that's her plain, unvar-
nished name, and it matches
her bleak story.
I think she's a heroine, and
I hope there is yet time for
happy ending, but the fates
have a way Of taking it out
of the Mary AIMS of real life.
Don't you agree? Here's her
letter:
Dear Miss Fairfax:
II hoped to be a teacher
and took the normal school
training, but couldn't meet my
obligations at home on a sub
stitute teachers salary, so I
went to work in a mill, and
pretty rough job it is, too.
At home, there is mother,
father, a married sister, her
baby, and sometimes her un-
employed husband, and mine is
the only regular job in the
family.
Then I fell in love with
Tom, and it seemed for a
while as if I were going to
be truly happy. Tom is an
overseer in the mill, and he,
the same as I, had to give
up his ambition-he wanted to
be a doctor. Our hard luck,
I think, drew us together and
we were happy for five months.
It seems now as if no one
could have been as happy as
I was then.
"Tom never said so, but I
knew he was always a little
ashamed of my shabby appear
ance when we went out together.
He dressed extremely well, as
did some of the other girls who
worked in the mill. Right next
to Tom loved my sisters baby,
2 years old, and the dearest,
sweetest thing.
THE baby loved me, too, and
used to wait for me to come
home. My sister was always
cross and peevish because she
was dissatisfied with life, but I
got lots of fun out of the baby.
THE summer after Tom and
I became engaged, our church
gave a big picnic, and I was de-
termined that Tom shouldn't be
ashamed of me on that occasion.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-08-18

I went shopping round and de-
cided on a lovely crepe dress, a
new hat, white shoes, and a
white purse; the whole outfit
was to cost $23, and I hoped to
be married in them, too. But
something kept me from buying
them - I'd never spent that
much money on myself before.
Then the baby got desper-
ately i'll. My sister and my
mother dosed her, but the
little thing grew steadily
worse. At last I called in a
baby specialist, but as our
neighborhood is cheap and poor,
and people don't pay their doc
tors regularly, he asked for his
fee, which was SIS in advance.
And that was SIS out of my $23.
There were three more visits,
which left me exactly SO for the
outfit I'd been day-dreaming
over. When time came for the
picnic I told Tom 1 don't want
to go, and why, but he said
Come along, old girl, it will be
all right And I wore the same
old dress I'd been wearing to
the mill.
II don't believe he would
have noticed it, if some of the
other girls who had pretty flow
cred chiffons hadn't begun to
laugh and make fun of me. At
first quietly, and then bolster
Ously. When I saw that Tom
was ashamed, I went off and hid
myself in the woods and didn't
come out until it was time to
go home. BY that time, he
seemed very we'll pleased with a
girl who had always had an eye
on him. That was the end for
me; he couldn't stand people
laughing at me.
1.-The baby is better, and
when I hold her in my arms,
and she smiles up at me, I
know I saved her life. And I'm
glad I spent the money that
way, but the loneliness is ter
ribly hard. The girl who made
up to Tom at the picnic has
won out.
"Life's a funny thing, isn't it,
Miss Fairfax?
MARY ANN.
I'm not going to try to mini
mize Mary AIMS story with
any easy commonplace. TO me,
this grim account of mill girls
generosity is real tragedy. We
can only hope that some happi-
ness is in store for her, and
that she will meet someone,
some day, who will appreciate
her real heroism. Here's to
Mary Ann!

1 can't advise you as to rouge
as 1 do not know your facial
coloring, but choose one that
will go we'll with your skin,
hair and eyes. A cream rouge is
better for a dry skin. Your lip
stick should match or harmonic.
Since your skin is dry, you
should use plenty of lubricating
cream for cleansing and nourish-
ings. Use soap and water about
twice weekly, cleansing cream
every night followed by an as
tringent, giving special attention
to the large pores. Cold water
will help to close them, too. At
bedtime apply nouriShing cream
and leave on all but the porous
parts. During the day keep
your skin clean with cream or a
skin freShener.
Use Bleach on Arm Hair
Dear Miss Shelby:
Can you tell me of a method
of removing hair from under
the arms other than cutting
or shaving? Sincerely,
ELEANORE.
Dear Eleanor:
Why don't you try bleaching
the hair on your arms? Use
one-half teaspoonful ammonia
to three tablespoonful perox-
ide. Apply with small pad
of cotton as often as conven-
lent. This will not destroy the
the roots of the hair, but it
will deaden the growth and
tighten it, making it much less
noticeable. This is inexpensive,
but quite effective.
Home Made Remedy Effective
For FreckleS
Dear Miss Shelby:
Can you tell me of some sort
of lotion or cream that will
eradicate my freckles? Thank
you. D. H.
Dear D. H.:
Chemical preparations for
Graduating freckles are not
only unreliable but sometimes
injurious, and I do not advo-
cate using them.
A lotion consisting of one
ounce of Tactic acid, one ounce
of glycerin and six ounces of
rose water may be applied
with cotton two or three times
a day. This is sometimes very
effective.
Never expose your skin to
the sun. Protect it with cloth
ing or with a sun oil or cream.
Don't worry too much about
freckles.

Distance Lends Enchantment"
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Last winter, when times were
particularly dull with me, I got
a job in a distant city. There
I met very pretty girl who
hasn't had many advantages in
education. We fell in love and
became engaged. Then I was
called back to my old job in my
home city. Shortly afterWard
my girl and her mother arrived
and took a small apartment.
Now I find this girl bores me,
and 1 don't want to introduce
her to my family. The funny
thing is when I'm away from
her, I find myself thinking of
her tenderly. When I am with
her for a while, this feeling van
ishes and again I'm bored.

You're in love with love and
not with the young lady YOU
met when you were away from
home. If you get bored with
her after you've been with her
for an hour or so, think how
much more bored you'd be if
you signed up with her for life.
It's going to be a tough thing
to put across, but break is bet
ter now than after the final
words have been said.

OWNERS CITE
GOOD SERVICE
BY MAST0KER
Fuel Burning Machines Are
Suitable to All Furnace
Types.

The Mastoker Sales Company, BAT
Massachusetts-av, have been receiv-
ing many favorable comments con-
corning the automatic coal stoker
it instals. Many owners have said
that those stokers have been giving
trouble-free service without cent
spent for repairs.
The Mastoker, burning Indiana
slack coal is of the underfeed type,
and the coal is burned under a
forced blast. 1t has proved to be
one of the most economical types
of fuel burners.
The stoker is of the geared-ratchet
feed type, and because of this all
running parts are kept in bath of
oil, thus avoiding mechanical diff
ticultieS.
No prospective purchaser need not
hesitate about the purchase of such
a heating unit, as the Mastoker may
be installed in any heating plant,
whether new or old.
For limited time the company
announced a reduced price for the
MaStoker.
