| mamma Bowen Is certainly q
character. ! want her TO see the
motion picture company when It
comes to Crest Lake. She's quite
a movie fan. They drive 70 q lit
tie town about 20 miles from here
to see the movies. I brought Fra
comet down here once and you
should have seen the meal she
cooked for him - enough for 10
meni" Marsh stopped suddenly.
IL didn't mean to mention him
again today. 10"
Il don't mind. really. I'm curious
myself about what they're going to
film at Crest Lake." 10 said.
well. all I know about II Is that
it's the story Of a forest ranger
OF course that's Fragonet-and he
falls in love with the daughter Of q
rich timber owner. Silas Dram II
directing t. He's very good ut
these big outdoor pictures. Gets
wonderful effects"
will there be quite a company
come from Hollywood?'
cd r o B A bly, not" Marsh
= guessed. you see. they'll Dc
a lot OF the shooting right on the
Atlas lot in Hollywood. At Crest
Lake they'll take Just the outdoor
scenes. and maybe Dram will have
some footage taken for atmosphere
to work into the picture later on"
WELL" 10 laughed. I'VE ought 70
be able TO count on having the
daughter and her timber-owning
father. anyhow"
Surely. And don't forget there1l
probably be a villain. and maybe .
good-for-nothing woman who's after
the hero. Dram will probably bring
along more cameramen and sound
technicians than actors and &C
tresses. There1l be some excite
ment. all right-and OF course well
have TO honor them with q party
before they return TO Hollywood
isn't it strange that Silas Dram
would decide e come to Crest Lake
for location scenes when he hasn't
the slightest idea what it's like?"
10 wanted to know.
ooh. Fragonet sent some pic
lures. and insisted 1t was Just the
place. Atlas lets him have his
way in a lot of things. you know
He's a big box-ofice attraction and
all the studios are anxious 10 grab
him the moment his contract with
Atlas Is completed"
10 nodded. slowly. beginning to
understand more and more why
Fragonet should want his way 90
insistently. and be so utterly Ger.
tain that he would be successful.
They talked longer than they
realized. until 10 suddenly glanced
at her wrist and exclaimed. Good
HeavensI We should be getting
back =.
Marsh leaned indolentIy against
the back Of his chair and nodded.
Perhaps we should" he said 70
gretfully.
In the car he helped her into HE
leather jacket. and 10 settled low
In the cushions to avoid the chill
night air that rushed past the
windshield and over their heads.
"This has been fun" she muir.

The kind Of treatment you should give your skin de-
Ponds on the kind Of skin it Is
II the skin is oily. it requires o totally different
method Of cleaning from one that tends to be dry.
On oily skin can be dried easily by exposure to al
kaline substances. II, however. q worker with an oily
skin happens to be q garage mechanic or q locomotive
oiler, his occupation viii tend to increase the oiliness
Of his skin and he win have q more difficult problem
to keep dry.
On the other hand, there are people who have dry
scaly skin resembling that of a fish The condition
Is called i~chthyosis. from the word meaning fish.
Their problem is to prevent their body surface from
becoming too dry.
Babies have skins that are exceedingly delicate, dry
and thin. and the same care usually is given to the
skin of a baby that ought to be given to the skin
Of people who are very old.
The skin Of O baby should be oiled at least once
daily. preferably with a pure olive oil. This is given
to the child as a cleansing bath.
Later, as the baby grows older, 1t may be washed with
a colloid solution, like barley water, and finally mild
soap and water may be used. The soap should be the
kind that is superfatted. like an olive oil CASTLE soap.
People with oily skins ought to battle more fire.
quently than those with dry skins. and they may re-
quire an alkaline or strong soap.
sHe SAn I0oPOnuS D1Uy 70 No huCn "a@eI' u
bath may be given to those surfaces there are in con-
tact and that chafe easily, thereafter powderng
freely.
More people ask about the danger Of wetting the hair
frequently than about bathing the body. Some think
that water rots the hair or causes splitting Of the
ends.
Actually the scalp Is more oily than the skin covering
the rest Of the body. Because 1t contains oil, 1t tends
to collect dust or other substances that fly around.
Therefore. the scalp really requires cleaning more
often than most Of the rest Of the body. Daily wash
ing Of the hair is not harmful. However, care should
be taken in picking the right soap for the purpose.
If the skin Is dry and the scalp also. an oily soap
may be used. The hair is m~oistened, then a thick la
Their Is worked up. The lather then should be rinsed
off Immediately, and most Of the oil viii come with
the water used for rinsing.
