sences to scent their nicer lin
ems, their handkerchiefs and
their undergarments. Others,
who like to carry about a bit
of old England with them,
wear them on their gowns.
They are growing rapidly in
favor, and although it might
take you time to acquire a yen
for their fragrances, you may
be assured that they are indi-
vidual and true. That they cost
so much less than French per-
fume is probably why they are
becoming so popular! Either
jar makes a very inexpensive

come attractively packaged in
a quaint English fashion.
Hair Bleach
Dear Miss Shelby:
I have been shaving the hair
from under my arms and I now
find that it grows in darker and
heavier. Can you tell me of
bleach that will tighten this
growth?
How much EPSON salts should
be used in an EPSON salt bath?
How hot should the water be?
Sincerely, S. T.
Dear Mrs. S. T.:
A good bleach is as follows:
Half teaspoon ammonia to three
tablespoons peroxide. Mix a
fresh solution every day.
You should use one pound of
epson salts in a bath. The
water should be as hot as you
can stand it. 1t is not necessary
to take another cleansing bath.
Fat On Face
Dear Miss Shelby:
Can you tell me Of a remedy
that will take excessive flesh
off the face. Please help me.
Yours sincerely,
Dear Mr.. ]. P:
Make a strong solution Of
EPSON salts and dip a wash
cloth in the solution. Hold
this against the fat portions,
keeping the cloth wet. Do this
for about half an hour a day.
and I think you will find it
has a reducing effect.

Retrieving 7 est
IS sReQuired
BY LIZ HUME

In order to put an English
springer spaniel through his
PAGES in the field, a new &C.
complishment will be expected
of him. This is in accordance
with ruling just being put into
effect by the American Kennel
Club.
Water test certificates are
being issued by the A. K. C. to
II springer and cocker spanielS
that competed in the field trial
meeting held recently at Fish
er's Island, N. Y, by the English
Springer Spaniel Field Trial
Association.
This appears to be the first
step that marks a positive move
in the tan d a d i z alton of
spaniel trials throughout the
nation. The ruling is now that
no spaniel may win a field trial
championship until it has
proven its ability to retrieve
from water at an A. K. c. test.
Holders of water test certifi-
Gates are not further required
to show ability in retrieving
from water, unless the commit
tee or the judges at trial ask
it. A certificate holder may
win his championship by taking
first place in two open all-age
stakes with six starters in each.
One of the big advantages Of
the certificates is that q dog
having passed the test may
compete in field trial meetings
where there are no facilities for
water retrieving and still gain
credit toward its championship.
Those granted water test certi-
ficateS include: English springer
spaniels-Fleet OF Falcon Hill,
owned by Henry E. Ferguson;
Trek of Chancefield, owned by
Mr.. and Mrs. Francis j.
Souires; Horsford Handicraft,
owned by Mr.. and Mrs. George
E. Watson, jr.; Archie Of Fin
try, owned by DR.. and Mrs.
Samuel Milbank.

My boy friend gets passes
for shows at a certain theater
here. And he told me when

theater, which I'd like to see, to

getting dates with me.

you think it's o. K. for me to

Friday night to inspect Jimmy

operates one Of the oldest night
clubs in town-going into its
fourteenth years. a colorful
chara cter himself. Once a,
worker in the circulation depart
ment of a newspaper, later d
manager of prize fighters, he
has had an exciting and varied
career.
1 first encountered him nine
ten years ago in Waterbury when
he was managing Babe Herman,
who was to fight Kid Kaplan
for the featherweight or junior
lightweight title-I've forgotten
which. i was q sports editor,
then, and during the weighing
in process I thought ( saw
Jimmy place his foot on the
scales during Kid Kaplan'S

and Jimmy's retOrt was far
from friendly. He was particu-

looked down and perceived that
it wasn't his foot after all.
Now Jimmy operates one of the
