EERE: Good Looks As far as outline of feature is con- cerned, good looks are a birthright gift of nature. But it takes more than outline to realize what is under- stood by ‘‘good looks’’and ‘“‘beauty.”” These must also be the radiant, animating influence of a fine skin and a lovely complexion. This can only be attained by keeping the skin in a condition of perfect health and purity; and the best known means is the daily use of Pears’ Soap which is the quintessence of purity and the finest skin beautifier in the world. It affords just the aid that nature re- quires in making and keeping the skin soft, velvety, and of a lovely color. Pears preserves the healthy freshness of the skin from youth to age, and is the most economical of all toilet soaps, last- ing twice as long as ordinary soaps. Commended by the famous beauties of six generations. Jellig, Kaler and Spence (Concluded from page 314.) “TI congratulate you,” I said, dryly. The next day I had an unpleasant duty to perform—namely, to face Jellig, Ka- ler and Spence. I determined to con- ceal my embarrassment under a show of sympathetic nonchalance. “Well, boys,” I said, meeting them at the club during the usual hour. “That fickle tyrant Luck was against me. Your money has vanished. It all comes of playing with Betty Brewster. She plays a terrible game, you know—and, of course, she took the money. A woman under these circumstances always does.” “How much did she win?” Jellig, Kaler and Spence leaned for- ward unanimously and breathlessly. They seemed to be interested. “You want to know the amount?” I said. “Yes.” I did some figuring on the back of an old envelope. “ Over eight thousand.” At this moment a messenger boy en- tered. Kaler began nervously opening the envelope the boy had brought. He recognized the writing and his face beamed. “You see, my dear fellow,” he said to me, smiling, “we hedged. Under- stand? Learning quite by accident that Betty Brewster was going down there with you, and knowing that she was a poor player—to put it mildly—and would win, according to the law of chances with amateurs, why, we just wired her to play us for a thousand a piece. Sorry for you, old chap! Can't blame us! That makes a thousand a piece profit, ch, fellows?” Then his eye fell on the note, he read it, and dashed it down on the table. “Well, I'll be d—d!" he cried. “ Can you beat it? Woman all over! Never could understand them! Read that!” exact a Pe < a I Want to Give You “Human Energy” My book explains the laws governing right exercise —some of them for the frst time.

And Jellig, Kaler and Spence read as follows: “Dear Boys: “Wasn't it luck you didn’t send me any real money, but only a telegram? Just think! I won eight thousand last night and I have sent it all to the Chil- dren's Home—they need it so much! And I know you won't mind, because you didn’t have to put up any money. And it’s the only possible way I can ever get you to subscribe, anyway. Haven't T been trying for years? Splendid idea of mine, wasn’t it?
