Beauty
Gifts for Sick
Friends
BY DONNA GRACE

What do you bring to your
friend in the hospital? It seems
there are few of US who do not
have some ailing friend to visit
during the course of the year.
Flowers are always the per-
feet gift, and they are appreci.
ated for many reasons, as they
are graceful tribute to ones
sense of beauty and refinement,
and they lend a note of cheer
and beauty to any sick room.
There is, however, another
kind of gift, too, for which the
invalid will bless you, and that
is an assortment of nice cos
meticS.
Going to a hospital is always
looked upon as a serious thing;
and we usually prepare for the
trip with a somewhat gloomy
resignation. We take only a few
of the necessary things, such as
nightgownS, robes, slippers, and
possibly a toothbrush and comb,
but all of our beloved beauty aids
are left behind, as if they were
too frivolous to be considered in
the aWeSome hospital realm.
We believe there is never a time
when beauty aids are quite so
necessary as when one is i'll, and
especially when numerous visitors
are popping in to look us over.
A nice fitted beauty case would
be the very incest gift, and these
cases may be had from the small
cardboard inexpensive ones to the
elaborate leather cases containing
every item from creams and To-
tionS to makeup.
There is such luxurious salts
faction in cleansing the skin with
these smooth refined creams and
perfumed lotions, and they GER
tainly help to mollify the auStere
hospital atmosphere.
Colognes and mild toilet waters
are the only scents that should
be used in a sick room as they
have clean, refreshing aroma.
The heavy. concentrated perfumes
are not in keeping with sanitary
mood. A single bottle of toilet
water, powders, a jar Of cream,
bath oil, fresh packages of puffs
and tissus, as well as a manicure
set, are nice gifts.
The practical person will love
little brushes and special soup.
or even tooth paste, mouth
washes and hand lotions.
Just gather up some of these
lovely things for your next visit
and you will be doing right by
your indisposed friend.

"Then a wave Of the old af-

children. We live in rambling
old house in the suburbs, that

me to save the situation, as the

infidelity. He seemed such a weak
and wretched creature to me.
81 went downstairs, spoke to the
woman's husband and the detec-

the evening together. The woman
left with her husband. Then my
husband tried to make up with
me, but the sudden feeling of re-
vulsion 1 had for him still held.
He said I was magnificent, the
best sport in the world, and never,
never would he look at another
woman.

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

Dec. 10, 12S2-The last real Prince
of Wales was killed by the English!
Llewellyn was his name and he had
been lured to London and captured
by a typical piece of English diplo-
macy-abduction of his fiancee. Aft
er the English had forced him to sur
rener control of Wales, they had him
assassinated.
Edward 1, to pacify the national
feelings of the Welsh, promised them
another prince, Welsh by birth, who
could not speak word of English.
To fulfill his promise, he trickily sent
Queen Eleanor to be delivered of a
child there, and had the infant christ
ened Prince of Wales.
Succeeding English sovereigns
haven't been even that scrupulous
about disposition of the title.
Dec. 10, 1SS9-A patent, the first
OF its kind on transparent, flexible,
nitrocellulose film, was granted to
Henry N. Reichenbach, collaboration
of George Eastman, Rochester, N. Y.
bank clerk whom roll film was to
make many millions. Eastman's mil
lions came, however, from exploiting
the film and his kodak" which made
photography cheap and easy for
everybody, not from invention.
Unknown to both Reichenbach and
Eastman, a Newark, N. j., grocery
man two years earlier had devised a
process of making celluloid film from
from explosive gun-cotton and silver.
He filed a patent application, but
Reichenhach's application, made later
was granted first. It took a bitter
1O-year legal battle for Goodwin to
establish his prior right.
