to shiver and shake from the cold, but
do you know you can now have steam
heat without turning on the furnace?

Soap is supposed to have been dis
covered first in Rome. The fats and
ashes left on the altar on Sapo hill
were washed by the rains into the

their clothes cleaner. They called it
soap from the name "Sapo."

the best dressed man in the world'

newness. Velveteen is very popular
for day time jenkins, and try one OF
gold cloth to camouhage that evening
dress you're SO tired Of.
