cA mothers advice to her daughters “My dears, I want to talk to you about something that has a great deal to do with your happiness. “You know how important it is for a girl to be always at her best. It means a great deal to her happiness and success in her social life—yes, and afterwards in her married life. “You may be very pretty and charming; you may be well gowned. But that isn’t enough if you fall short in the perfection of sweet daintiness which is your greatest charm. “In spite of the pains you may have taken with your toilette in preparing for the dance or theatre, you will find as the evening wears on, that the inevitable odor of perspiration and other body odors will steal upon you, and greatly diminish your attractiveness. “When I was young we had to endure this misfortune; but now this whole trouble is entirely done away with by the use of ‘Mum’, which takes all the odor out of perspiration and other body excretions. “Mum” is the word “Every morning I apply a little ‘Mum’ and I can rest assured for the whole day and evening that I shall be entirely free from all embarrassing body odors. “No, ‘Mum’ does not check perspiration or other body functions. There is nothing in it that can irritate the skin or harm the clothes. ‘Mum’ is just a soft white cream that is quickly absorbed by the skin.” This wise woman might have gone further and told about an easy way to remove su- perfluous hair from the underarms and limbs. Evans’s Depilatory Outfit removes hair easily and quickly, and leaves the skin en- tirely smooth and comfortable.

MAJOR MANUFACTURING CO. New York The Victorian Room—and James #o HE night is dark and gloomy,’ said James, in a pompous voice; “Jet us be banal.” “That means,” said Janet, “that you have a ghost story you want to tell us.” James sat up suddenly and stared at her in mock consternation. Then he sank back again on the hearth-rug. “You are right,” he admitted. We composed ourselves in sepulchral attitudes. “The night was dark and gloomy .” he began. “Cut... that... right... we sang in a crescendo chorus. “The night was clear and cheerful. At any rate it was night.” He paused. “Go on!” “I was staying with my old friend . Thingummy. ‘James,’ he said, ‘you won’t mind sleeping in a Haunted Room, will you?’ And I answered . . .” “Yes, we all know what you an- swered,” Janet interrupted; “that of course you weren’t afraid, and didn’t be- lieve in ghosts.” “There you are wrong,” said James. “I begged him, with tears, to put me in another room, and told him I was scared to death of them. So he rang for the Thirteenth Butler and told him to put me in the Victorian room. That sounded quite modern and sort of homely; so al- though my teeth chattered loudly all along the passages, I felt quite reassured when I got there and found all the usual bell-pulls and red plush curtains and things. Grained furniture, too: I could see it through the dressing-room door. So I hung my little glass up and put my razor in the hot water, and prepared to shave.” Here James stood up, struck a dra- matic attitude, and continued in a sing- song cantillation. To help him out we kept up an accompaniment of gentle groans. i “T had hardly set my hand to the razor to lift it out, when—happening to glance up—I saw, in the glass—on my bed—a jugulated corpse. Blood oozed over the pillows and sheets. Horror rippled over me in waves; for I saw that that grin- ring, twisted mask of a face on the pil- low was my own! “The room swam round me in great sweeping spirals. I tried to turn, to let go of my razor, to shriek; but I was paralyzed! “The impotence of nightmare was upon me. My eyes were glued to the horrid, distorted sight in the glass. The Thing on the bed had me in a thrall: I could not scream; I could not let go of :he razor; I could not move it in the water. “All at once I felt the force that held it there relax; it suddenly seemed to be lifted out without my aid. Out of the corner of my eye I could see my white, 30 out!” ANNs NN ——< the skin —~ _Don’t forego the pleasure of outdoor life because the sun and wind coarsen and roughenyour skin.
