WATCH WHAT YOUR FACE
G VIC

0A xS
Probably it isn't right, but it cer-
tainly is human nature to pass judg-
ment upon every stranger within a
few seconds after you are intro
duced. Later you often-times have
to reverse your judgment. That
doesn't keep you from going ahead
and judging everyone you meet.
Some of the men or women you
meet win your heart Immediately,
even before they say a word. This
they do by the expression on their
faces. Others win you only after
days or hours or weeks of associa-
ton, which causes you to overlook
their dead-pan expression and rec
ognize their worth.
The faces we like, the faces OF
personality, are beautifully de-
scribed by Rosamond Lehman in
her novel; ''The Weather in the
Streets" One of Miss Lehmann's
characters says to friend:
II like what-what breaks out be-
hind the features and is suddenly
there and gone again. l like face
to warm up and expand, and col
lapse and be different every night
and from every angle and not
be above looking ugly or comic
sometimes"
In other words, what this woman
liked and what others like in face
is life, expression, vitality, anima-
ton. We all like faces that betray
the emotions that 60 on behind
them rather than the dull, color
less. cold, unresponsive faces. We
want to know that there is friend
ship behind the faces we see.
Study the expression on your face.
If it isn't what you think it ought to
be, do what Napoleon did, what
Cleopatra did. Practice facial ex-
preston until you develop this i'm.
portant outward evidence of person.

TN THINKING of it afterward,
Nettie Brainard could never get
rid of the feeling that the light actu-
ally did change. In her empty tea
room, the telephone on the cashiers
desk rang. Although it was nearly
noon, all of Broadway near Union
Square seemed to dim to a queer,
eerie twilight.
'Is this Miss Nettie Brainard?" a
mans voice inquired.
"Yes," Nettie said into the instru-
ment.

min Brainard, deceased, and Nettie

"She's busy in the kitchen just

said aloud. ''Uncle Tom! Alivei

say to him? Why does he want to
talk to me alone? Why. it's like hav-

Across the street, her mortal enc
mics, the two quick lunch places,
with their neon signs and their bar
gains in coffee and doughnuts, now
became friends for once. They as
sured her that she was not in some
timeless world Of the spirit. Instead.
she was in the busting world Of to-
day, where a girl Of twenty-five,
who loves young doctor way back
in her home town, is glad to stand
by her ailing mother in New York,
and try to make tea room pay in
q section where there is no room for
tea rooms. .-.-..
''Uncle Toni" Nettie said again.
All she could remember of him was
that he was black sheep, or some
thing worse. Her own father, Bena-
min Brainard, never would permit
his name to be spoken. This was
because, over twenty-five years ago,
Tom Sharp nearly had broken off

He kissed her roughly on the
mouth. Then he was gone, leaving
Nettie feeling that this visit, from
one mourned as dead, simply could
never have happened.
The kitchen door opened. Nettie's S

DANGER FROM TREE
FIRE EVER PRESENT

Although the Christmas tree Il
one Of the most picturesque Yule-
tide ornaments. it is also one Of the
most dangerous. with the threat Of
fire an ever present possibility.
Replacement Of the candle by the
electric light has removed some Of
the hazards formerly experienced.
but danger still turks from faulty
connections or careless handling of
bulbs and strings.
To minimize the fire hazard, the
department Of agriculture offers
two pertinent suggestions: First.
keep the tree well watered and.
second. fireproof it with ammonium
sulphate or calcium chloride.
To provide the tree with sufficient
water. cut the butt on a slant at
least an inch above the original cut.
Keep the water level above the
slashed surface. In purchasing a
tree. always look for one that has
been felled recently so that the
needles have not dried.
Fresh trees also are essential for
fiame-proofing. In using ammonium
sulphate. a chemical content one
fourth the weight of the tree should
be used. After dissolving one and a
half pints of the ammonium in a
pound of water. slash the stem of
the tree and place it in the solution.
Then, let the tree stand four to six
days in the solution for complete
absorption. Trees fireproofed in this
manner will not be ignited by an
electric spark,

Early Days Recalled
In Market Establishment

Announcement is made this
week that Clyde Higley has been
employed by Harvey White in
the City Market. ....s..-..
The. announcement started a
chain of Renaissance about the
store, one of Kennewick's oldest.
II was established in the present
location in 1919 by F. w. White,
who is Harvey's father, for Charl-
es FASTER. In 1924 White bought
out FASTER who is now living on
the coast.
The elder White came to this
region about 60 years ago when
it was still Washington Territory.
He settled in the Eureka Flats
region near Walla Walla. Later
he launched a slaughter house in
Spokane.
There was a story in a Spo-
kane paper a while ago that stated
the present owner of that slaugh-
ter house had started it," Harvey
Asaid this week. "But he didn't
start it. My dad did. He has been
butchering for So years"
F. H. White retired from the
business in 1913. Now i'll, he is
taking treatment in a Spokane
hospital. "a
Harvey recalls that the build
ing was originally divided INTO
apartments. Like practically ev-
cry other business place in Ken
newick there is not nearly enough
room. 49,.
The grocery department was
added about ten years ago.
Higley had previously been en-
ployed in a Pasco clothing store
since he sold his store here to
Herman Raglan. "Glad to be
back in Kennewick," Clyde said.

1t just isn't right that our
