Ne,o-type Shampoo Amases Women Euery,ohere

It's no wonder women everywhere
are raving about this amazing, new
liquid shampoo-no wonder one trial
converts them for life! For it gives
your hair thrilling new gleam. Yes,
actually transforms dull, average
looking hair into brilliant, glisten-
ing halo - with single application.
Look at the girl above. See what
a difference it makes when you use
it. So try it soon-see how beautiful
your hair really can be.
Just how this unusual shampoo
works these miracles is new scien-
tific secret. 1t isn't oil, it isn't soap
it isn't anything you've heard of
before. Scientists have brought us
something brand-new; shampoo SO
different that they've patented the
process by which it is made. You
simply wet your hair, shake on a
few drops and instantly you get a

glorious, billowy lather. s times more
lather than soap in hardest water.
Lather so neutral - being neither
acid nor alkaline-that it is ideal for
either oily or dry hair. You rub it
briskly into the hair, rinse thoroughly
and you're through.
"Whata" yousay, mo special rinses (;
no vinegar, lemon or after-rinses
to cut the lather?" No they are
not necessary-just thorough dous-
ing in clear water! That's the mar
velous part. Drene cannot leave
unrinsable film on hair to cover up
natural lustre as ordinary shampoos
do. Your hair is left radiant, silky,
smooth. Even bleached or dyed hair
is virtually undetectable after a
Drene shampoo. More amazing, en-
barrassing flakes of dandruff disap-
pear with a single washing, leaving
the scalp scrupulously clean. Tested

OldLady Cat nodded. 'Yes, Mamie's

Say; do you chase cats?'

said slowly, II think we can arrange

A commotion from the other side
of the high back fence startled them
both. An instant later. Little Wide
Eyes came running along the top rail-
ing towards the house. Her tail big,
her eyes blazing with fury.
'Gramma! Grammar she cried,
mamie chased me away just as the
southern gentleman was telling me the
incest things. Mamie said he wasn't
interested in sub-debs! She scratched
me! She took away the only He I've

Old Lady spoke under her breath to
Hans. Get busy. Foreigner"
He looked at her apprehensively.

Little Wide Eyes skidded to stop,
petrified at the brown length oozing
out from the bush into the sunlight.
"Wha what is it?" she gasped.
Old Lady Cat was standing with
stiffened legs and lashing tail. The
small kitten behind her commenced a
volcanic splitting. Run! Get up the
tree! Maybe it can't climb! Hurry!
Little Wide Eyes gave a terrified
hiss. and made a leap for the tree
trunk. With shrill bark. Hans surged
after her. Little Wide Eyes spraddled
against the trunk like pelt nailed on
a wall.

Little Wide Eyes let out a series of

and scrambled farther up the trunk.

life - still she seemed to feel the
Monsters hot breath on her heels.
The Black Haired Lady came run

Master appeared next door. "Ohi That
horrible dog! Call him off! Look what
he's doing to my poor kitten!'
The Master strode quickly towards
the dividing trellis. Hans! Come

The Black Haired Lady glared at
him. "You thought nothing of the

"Yes, he loves them SO well he wants

Hans, come herer'
Through Hans excited mental pro-
cesses there filtered dimly the voice of
authority. He dropped down on his
stomach and skunk away.

said sharply. Look where she isr'
The Master looked. High up in the
crotch of two limbs, Little Wide Eyes
was yowling despairingly.
Gosh! She is in a fix. But maybe
she'll come down in a couple of days."
"A couple of days! You know very
well l can't leave her up there like

They looked at each other for long
moment. Little Wide Eyes continued
to wall, hopelessly. The Black Haired
Lady's cheeks suffused with crimson.
'Oh. very well, I'll 60 up and get
her." he said stiff1y. He got up on the
fence, reached for a lower limb of the
tree, and swung himself into the
branches. The Black Haired Lady

rotten-looking branch zigzagged earth

dangling in mid-air. Then the Master
parachuted downward. Little Wide
Eyes, springing clear of his shoulders,
made for the back fence.
The Black Haired Lady ran over

 Differences, more or legs slight, exist among these milk substances. Generally. the basic value of the milk remains
 But those forms of milk that have to be heated down to the de- sired conBistency have been found weaker in ono or two of their vita Inins. And the mill: products have been found to vary fin proteinB, fats, and carbohydrates, ag well as tho number of calories that they provide.
 Tn ordinary industry, condensed milk means a product which has been heated down to A thicker sub- stance, and canned. In this case low temperature iB used and sugar 1s added to aid preservation.
 Evaporated milk B condensed and canned without the addition of sugar. Therefore, much more heat 1s applied to aid preservation.
 Such milk may be heated almost to the boiling point for from 90 to 60 minutes. Az result, 1t has a little more cooked taste than has condensed milk. Fluid usually Is added before 1t is used.
 Apparently, heating does not do much toward diminishing vitamins A and c B-2). but it does seriously reduce the amount of vitamins B-1 and c in the milk.
 Dried milk and powdered milk usually are prepared by various prOcesses, such as spraying par tially evaporated milk Into warm. dry chambers. or spraying milk on heated rollerB.

.BRAUTY--- GIOriing
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart

Although she thinks the millions dollars women invest every year in cosmetics and beauty treatments are money well spent, Olivia de HaVil- land, one of HollywoodiS outstands ing beauties, doesn't believe for q moment that the majority get full benefit from their expenditures.
 Tt is not enough to buy the cor- rect creams and lotions for your skin--not enough to cling to regu- lar facial schedules, Miss de Havil- land insists. "In order to get the most good from her home routines and her trips to the beauty shop aB well, woman should learn to pre- serve and protect the beauty she buys. ,
 "For instance, every woman, cleanses her face thoroughly at night, of course. And she applies 2 tonic or aStringent especially adapt ted to her particular type of corl-. plexion.
 Act to Preserve Facials ar
 At least three nights a week she uses Q good nourishing or tissue cream. To these routines, she adds weekly home facials or professional ones, scheduled as often as her finances, the condition of her skin and the proximity of a beauty shop warrant.
 However, there is something else every girl must do. And this is to give such regular care to the preservation of her facials that the fiattering efficacy of them will be heightened. t
 After getting Q face treatment from Q trained operator, she should form the habit of holding her head up as 1t was when the beautician finished her complicated manipu- iations. This prevents lazy chin and neck muscles from sagging."
 Squinting Brings Wrinkles Squint and frown lines are the forerunners of real wrinkles, you know. Once tiny lines become deep furrows, even the best facials will have little effect. a,
 Remember that time you. spend on your face never is time wasted. However, after you have taken an hour from your busy life to treat your skin to Q fine homemade egg or oatmeal or milk facial, don't spoil the effects of 1t by neglecting all regular routines for three or four days. Go on as usual with each of them. Meanwhile, keep forehead smooth and corners of your mouth turned up as they were when you finished the facial treatment.
