the table was covered with a cloth
woven by the grandmother of Mrs.
Holmes eighty years ago. The cen-

hundred years old. The china was
an inheritance from tine great

what frothy, cool effect it has as

ROLL FLESH FIRMLY

With finger and thumb pick up
the flesh under the skin, and roll
it firmly. Use both hands, work
ing from the. center out toward
the sides. The rolling movement
dissolves fat cells, which. can't
take much punishment.
To prevent sagginess after the
dissolution Of adipose tissues,
friction with an ice cube while
the cream remains on. Hold the
he'd back, but don't tense the
musd es of the neck. Follow with
exercises to strengthen the fibers.
Stand tall, hands on hips, eyes
forward. Turn the head to the
right with a hard pull and an up
tilt of the chin. Six times, then
to the right and repeat.

That is the result of carrying
the chin low. Unless the head is
balanced and carried regally, the
chest is contrasted and shoulders
forced forward. Maddening the
way defects arrive in gangs. Be-
gin at once to practice good pos
ture. Don't hold the head stiff
ly or tilted back. Keep it on a
straight line with your shoulders.
DON'T DESPAIR
Molding two chins into a state
Of single blessedness is something
that is being done all the time
in beauty salons. So don't de-
spair.
Get massage cream of fairly
heavy consistency. Your good
friend cold cream won't fill the
bill because it is too oily, lets the
fingers slip.
Battle the face with a bland
soap and warm water. Hot water
is ali right for firm young faces
but if tissues are even slightly
depleted it should not be used.
Rinse with warm water, dry will:
brisk gentle pats. Massage acts
favorably when the flesh is warm
and pink.
Spread on the cream from col
larbones to the forward hairline,
using the flattened fingers, one
hand following the other. You
can use pressure along the jaw
line, but slow up when treatlns

THERE is A DIFFERENCE

There is difference between MAX
ing war and killing neutrals,'' asserts the
Amsterdam Handelsblad in protesting the
torpedoing of merchant ships of the
Netherlands by German submarines
Since the beginning of the war this
small neutral country has suffered the
loss of number of ships, together with
the lives of 200 seamen. Steamers carry
ing food for Amsterdam have been sunk
because they might visit an English port.
Others have been sunk without warning
at night.
The small neutral nations are unable
to save their ships by following the ex-
ample of Uncle Sam and keeping them
home They are too small to defend their
rights and unable to abandon them before
4 ruthless nation.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-03-19
TOUGH ON THE NEUTRALs

The German offensive against British
shipping is accompanied by conflicting re-
ports from London and Berlin as to the re-
suits attained.
Neutral nations however, continue to
suffer heavy losses. In the first twenty
seven weeks of the war, 178 neutral vessels
have been sunk. The British, according to
neutral estimates, have lost only 1874
ships.S
Norway has been the chief victim of
Germany's campaign at sea but Sweden,
Denmark, Belgium and The Netherlands
have also felt the effects of Germany's
submarine campaign. The Germans in
sist that they have reversed" the block
ade against Great Britain and the figures
indicate that they have inflicted block
ade against the smaller nations"
If Great Britain is starved into sub
mission by the German warfare at sea, it
seems probable that the neutral nations
north of Germany will also be starved in
the process.
