should go into the Beachcomb-
er Jewellers these days you'd
really believe it.
Saturday was like Christmas
there, what with cartons and
boxes and tissue flying madlY
about. and all that go. Jeous
costume iewelrY. glittering
watches and wonderful lamps
and gifts emerging like butter
flies from a chrYsalis.
Another thought we've
said it before. well say il

days to go. they aren't all
shopping days you know. and

Christmas. There are a lot of
smart folks doing this right
now. They know the best Sc
lection can be made early.
All. it's lovely indeed to see
these things being unpacked.

The following is apt to make
you gasp, the price of butter be-
ing what it is. Did you know that
in Tibet they WASH in butter?
First they rub it over their hands
and face, then gradually over the
whole body, pommeling as they
go. Next they scrape off the mass
and begin polishing until the
skin shires. This process takes
about four hours, after which the
butter that has been scraped off
is stored away for the next bath,
and the next and the next, until
1t becomes so encrusted with
dirt that it can be broken in the
hand. At this point the butter
plus is placed an full sunlight,
jar underneath to catch the drip
pings, and is thus refined for
further use. The older the butter
the better so, so or 100 years
old is fine. Oh well, come to
think of it, soap and water isn't
so bad.
