In my opinion, these are most enlivening announcements ; and means, I say, let us have more ples of proverbial wisdom bowled over. For instance: “The earthworm is a creature of g tenacity and determination and if persistently provoked will readily turn upon its aggressor.”—Profes- sor Quit pencrank. The mule offers an example of ractability and at the bidding of its driver is readily diverted from its own preconceived intentions.”— Dr. Legge Pullar. “Few animals have brought idle- ness to a finer art than the bee.”— Professor Downham Flatte. “As compared with the turnip, both snail and tortoise are creatures of t activity."—The Master of St. Onishers. Sloth and simplicity are the key- notes of the fox’s character.”—The Master of Lunacy. “In the lightness of their deport- ment the elephant and the bluebottle have much in common.”—Herr Julius Finkelblossom. “For the serious student of Evolu- tion it is far too soon to preclude the pig from the possibility of flight.”"—Professor Potshot.

When you have finished with your prayers, And Mother’s left ahd gone down- stairs, Switch on your pocket flashlight so Upon your book its light will glow.

The process is extremely simple. Just moisten the skin with the cream and allow it to nearly dry, then dust on the powder. It will adhere wonder- fully and remain in perfect condition longer than with any other base we know of. The cream and powder will prevent the skin from becoming rough or chapped.

Its delicate tints blend to produce the coveted effect and, with its subtle and distinctive fragrance, enhance the charm of every woman who uses it.—White, flesh, pink, brunette. Large box, 60c.
