LIFE If you have been shav- ing for about a dozen years, you may recall my first prophecy that Mennen Shaving Cream would quickly bring about a revolu- tion in shaving method. Several million men prove every morning that I was right. The proud, rebellious wiriness of their whiskers is all gone. Dermutation strips ’em off so gently and smoothly that a man hardly knows his razor is in action. Then, some years ago, I told you about Talcum for Men. At that time, men classed talcum with rouge and lip sticks. But to-day, the custom is almost universal to rub ona velvety, soothing film of Talcum for Men, which protects and doesn’t show white on your face. Last yi Z 1 said that if you would try Mennen Skin Balm, you would find it the most delightful and efficient after-shaving prepa: ever touched your face. Incidentally, it's great for chapped lips or roughened skin—as wonderful for hands as for the face, Antiseptic and astringent. Right now, to-day, Skin Balm has won national acceptance and its sales are amazing. ‘These three should be used together.

Eggleston (Doran). It is the record of a girl's life, beginning in 1876 and ending ten years later in an Ohio college for women. The writer does not reveal any startling personality I greatly d the authenticity (the journal is advertised as being assembled from actual papers) of the earlier por- tions, bes I do not believe it pos- ible for any child ever to have spelled so bad But there are autobiograph- ical flashes here and there, and an item such as the following, under the date of June 24, 1882, is good for a fair- sized em al outburst : “Each ticket to Washington on the Penn.

Mr. Coolidge as Observed by Mr. W. A. White Writrast writer. Attes Witte is a good What he writes, whether one agrees or not, usually tastes pleasant to the mind. His book about Mr. Cool- idge (Macmillan) is very agreeable. It is not at all a campaign biography, It is a study. He seems to aspire to turn Mr. Coolidge inside out. With me people when that is done it amounts n exposure, but in the case of Mr. C ge, not so. Turn him iside out and he looks about the same And that is really the great message of Mr. White's book about Mr. Cool- idge. He pictures him as his ingredi- ents shaped up and clothed in raiment. He tells you what the ingredients are; how they came out of Vermont; how they were worked up and polished (a litle but not much) in Massachusetts. He says: T is what Mr. Coolidge is made of. Now you know what to ex pect of him! When Mr. White does it, that is in- teresting, but, of course, that’s not the whole story. life than one’s ingredients and one’s en- vironment. Maybe the behaviorists think that is all there is. Nonsense! There is something else; something out of the invisible world; you may call it Lady Luck, if you like.
