Mr. Pilgrim threw the paper from him, and rose; slowly he revolved upon his heels and walked toward the door. “Can't you tell me why?” persisted the lad Mr. Pilgrim paused with his hand on the handle. “Because it would kill his little ro- mance for him,” he said.

Here are a hundred and fifty odd men, all volun- tary comers, eating good food, though simple, and not much of it—five courses —and some of them seemingly almost happy! Oh pshaw; they came from a sense of duty. Happy? Hardly that. Just normal. Some of them smile sometimes. But the test hasn’t come yet. There's been no speaking. You think there has to be rum to make the speaking endurable? Sure. And to put joy into the sing- ing. Men’s dinners may still go on then if the speaking is cut out? Or cut down. Oh yes! Food itself is not objectionable if it is good, and there’s not too much of it. Then public dinners may survive Prohibition if the food is sufficiently diminished and the after-dinner speak- ers duly abated? Perhaps; but under those conditions, why have them? E.S. M.

And every last one of them has confided to me the secret that his beard is extraordinarily tough and his hide painfully tender. They were all of them right. A whisker is tough—all fired tough. It is made of the same stuff as your finger nails, The marvel is that science has been able to reduce a beard to such a condition that it can be painlessly sliced off. And your skin is even tenderer than you have believed. Three minutes of brisk rubbing with the end of your finger on any part of your body will expose raw flesh. When you indulge in the wrong practice of rubbing in lather with your fingers, you raise thousands of microscopic blisters which the razor cuts, leaving those tiny blood spots which cause you so much dis- comfort and expose you to infection. Now why is it that over two million men become eloquent in praise of Mennen Shaving Cream whenever the subject of shaving is brought up? To cut out the science and get down to ordinary smoking compartment language, a beard no longer seems tough, and the tenderness of your skin ceases to trouble you when you use Mennen’s. Never mind why. Reasons are chiefly useful to explain failure. I am talking about results. Get a tube of Mennen’s or send ten cents for my demonstrator tube. Build up a { lather with three minutes a firwardee of brush work and three times as much water as dines “show you ordinarily use. Cold water is as good as hot. Then you will under- stand why I am constantly accused of lamentably fail- ing to do justice to the amazing virtue—to the convincing superiority of Mennen Shaving Cream. e (Mennen Salesman) THe Mennen Company Newark, NJ.
