Toilet Voter
Boon in Summer

During the summer months
nothing is more stimulating for
the body, nor more restful for
excitement-nerves than the brisk
application of delicately scented
toilet lotion. Such lotions, because
they contain a considerable amount
OF alcohol. give the skin a re-
newed freshness, at the same time
inducing relaxation that is most
soothing TO evertaxed nerves.
All of the reliable makers of
toiletries now include at least one
line Of scented lotions which are
inexpensive. yet so lasting in
fragrance as to assure dainty
auro OF perfume for many hours.
This makes 1t possible for the
more concentrated and more ex-
pensive perfumes to be used for
more formal occasions.
Bath powders that match toilet
waters help TO further complete
summer grooming and are really
indispensable after all active sum-
mer sports.

Gusty Gair
"oh. sure, its a silly idea. It's
corny. But, gosh. I'm only tring
to make a point Just suppose.
You wouldn't want to be famous
star and have a garage mechanic
for husband No. sir A mans
place is at the head of his family,
l say"
"You-you mean that's why YOU
took the ticket" Francie asked.
Because you wanted to make good
for me?
We'll, I :" Gusty Redeemed.
81 wouldn't exactly say that,
but ="
1T was. Gustyi" Francie cried.
"Okay. il was then" Gusty said
gruffly. You'd better watch your
driving"
Suddenly Franeie felt as If the
ticket were red mark of shame,
a scarlet letter branded upon her.
Gusty was a pure knight facing
all kinds of hardships for her sake.
Oh, why hadn't she realized it be-
fore?
Gusty said, You'd better stop
at the next gas station"
Francie obeyed, trembling.
When he paid she held her breath.
But Gusty didn't look into the part
of his wallet where the ticket had
been.
Weak with relief, Francie
thought, Nothing must spoil this
perfect day"
They drove on. and Gusty, still
in a mellow mood, talked. He
spoke sorrowfully of the trumpet
pin. He'd searched around the camp
for it. He sure hated to lose it.
Francie told herself she'd hold it
for safekeeping until they reached
Hollywood, then surprise Gusty.
The afternoon sped by with the
miles. 1t was perfect day, one
Francie would never forget. Not
once did Gusty lapse into his role
of braggart. Even his donkey laugh
was muted. When they stopped
for lunch Gusty paid for the ham,
burgers. He even assisted Francie
from the car.
AT dusk they reached the noun
tain range and began hard climb.
Gustys dizzy spell had long since
passed and he was driving. Great
barren masses of rock reared up
on either side of them as they
twisted over a road cut from solid
stone.
Francie said, "Gusty, look! ISM
il lovely?"
The moon hung like a huge
golden ornament from the topmost
peak of the mountain. 1t laid a
thin saffron light over the rugged
slopes. making them soft and I'M
real.
Boy, that is something" Gusty
agreed. Let's stop and watch a
few minutes"
He pulled the roadster partially
off the pavement, drew Francie
close. The air was crisp, thin,
fragrant. 1t was just like the night
at the airport, only far more ro-
mantle.
Makes you feel kinda small,
don't ?" Gusty muttered.
Francie bobbed her head in per-
feet contentment. She turned her
face upward. putting her lips in
the most accessible position. Gusty
had never kissed her, but tonight

Francie sighed. rs that all
you talked about ,"
Mr.. Weston nodded. Except
that l finally persuaded him to be
my guest at breakfast. He needs
a good meal to get his strength
back. He wouldn't eat If he had to
pay for it himself"
Gusty came in minus his usual
swagger. His cheeks were still
pale, his eyes Swallowed. He sat
down unsteadily and picked up a
menu.
Never mind that, SON." John
Weston's eyes twinkled. I've or
dered for you"
Gusty grinned. Thanks. Guess
I need some grub"
The meal was eaten amidst a
frosty silence provided by Francie
and Aunt Hat. Gusty arose, STUN
bling over his chair. He passed his
hand across his forehead.
Holy smokes, I'm dizzy as a
bat! I'll be driving the old bus
around in circles. Any chance of
spanng me a driver, Mr. Weston ?"
Francie said stubbornly, I'm
not going"
Mr.. Weston took his daughter
aside. Il don't intend to argue,

But"

That's better. Well hit the lit

Presently Francie was rafting
westward in Gusty's old roadster.
She drove with her chin set at a
defiant angle. Gusty slumped on
the end of his spine, his feet
straight out. In silence he watched
the wind whip little trendrils of
amber hair from under Francie' s
bright scarf.
Aren't you gonna TALK" he de-
manded finally.

Jaw look, Francie, don't be
