WOMA BY LOL “Food” Cream for the Neck. Dear Miss Leeds—I want to make up & cream to use on my neck, which | d has The rest of my body is thinner than it should be & wrinkles on it. Is plump and my face is full enough Do vou think that the so-cal'ed tissue- huilding creams really build tissue? How can they do so, when the food for the tissue cell m go through the blood and lymphatics, and even before it gets. into the blood stream it must be chemically changed by the di gestive juice: DNA. Answer—-Tissue-building creams are #o called because the general public has not the knowledge of physiology that you have. Of course, they do not “build” tissue as‘'one would build a house by adding material from with- out, but it you use one of these creams long enough you will notice an im- provement in your neck.’ Why? Be- cause the massage with which you ap- ply the cream stirs up the circulation and the tissues are thus better nour- ished; also because the cream lubri- rates the surface of your skin where it is dry and wrinkled and makes it more pliable so that the creases that result from movements of the neck do not become deeply etched. Some creams contain ingredients ‘that chem. ically stimulate the skin and others contain bleaching or astringent ma- terials. [Exercise and massage will tuild tissue from within, but you may use the food cream to lubricate the massage and to keep the skin soft. Here is a good recipe to use: One ounce each of lanolin, spermaceti and witch hazel; two ounces olive oil; one- Across. Rip. s Character of Shakespeare. Meadow, eadow, High priest of Israel.

DEAR MISS DIX: Before prohibition girls used to sing, “The lips that touch wine shall never touch mine.” Now a lot of us mehn are singing that same tune, but our version of it is: “The lips that are painted shall never touch mine.” We don’t want to marry the kind of girls who are painted up like a circus. who wear their skirts above their knees, displaying their hose- supporters; who have nothing-on- their minds but clothes and who class you { as a cheap Johnny unless you spend & big pile of money on them. I haven't | come across a sensible girl for years. If I could find one who had real gray matter in her head and who was willing to stick to me like glue, who was | modest in her dress and conversation and who would be willing to love, honor ! and obey me, 1'd be glad enough to marry and share my fortune with her. | Where is she? HARRY 8. she is probably in the next block from you, Harry.

They certainly are unappetizing, and I never see a girl with her lips all gummed up that way that I don’t wonder how any man can have a strong enough stomach to relish a mouthful of cosmetics. 1 should think that it would break up kissing more quickly than all the moral lectures on the sub; Apparently, however, it doesn't affect men that way, as girls continue to daub on a fresh coat of red paint as soon as the last one has been licked off. But they wouldn't do it if two men in su ion would join in ycur chorus and sing to them that “the lips that are painted shall never touch mine, For girls dress to piease the men. They calcimine their faces to please the men. And all that men have to do is to turn thumbs down on any feminine foible, and they drop it before you can say Jack Robinson. So men’s criticism of women, and especially of girls, is always unjust. { The girls are what the men make them. Just at present men are demanding that girls shall violate all of the canons of .what has heretofore been considered maidenly propriety and reserve, and so we have the girl who Is half-naked, who drinks and swears and pets, and who generally goes the limit. If she does these things, men will take her out and give her a good time. If she won't, her dates are few and far between and she mostly stays at home. The result is that most of the girls do things that are repugnant to them and against their instincts simply because they are young and pleasure-loving. and they haven't the moral courage to refuse to pay the price that men demand for their attention. But not all girls ave like that. There are still plenty of them who stick to their ideals. There are plenty of girls who dress modestly, plenty of girls who read and think, and who would make the very best gort of faithful, domestic wives. But men pass these girls over because they are not showy and because they are too modest to go out and pursue the men they want for husbands. The trouble with the men who complain that they can't find this sort of wives is that they hunt for them in the wrong places. You will no more find them at night clubs than you would find a point lace in a blacksmithls shop. But you won't have to do much sleuthing if you really want one. And, as I said before, you can ask your mother or any other middle-aged woman without daughters to give you a tip.

She handles the money and has only been able to put away $150 in six months; but I tell her if she could keep house like my sister she could have saved $i00. I am always telling her what good managers and good cooks my sister and my mother are, and she says that she is neither my sister nor my mother.

EAR DOROTHY DIX: Iam 19 and have been married seven months. My husband is 30. He has no trade and has worked only four months since we were married. I am employed and have a good job. My husband tells me that there is no opportunity in this city for a young man, so he went away 'and wrote me that he had procured me a good position. But he hasn't anything for himself to do. Do you think I would be foolish to quit my position and go on to him? Do you think’a man and-woman have the #me chance here as in other places? REX. Answer: I think you would be very foolish to give up the position in which you are established to go on some wild goose chase following a husband who is too lazy to work himself. If your husband displayed as much energy in finding something to do himself as he does in getting a job for you, there might be some reason for your going to him. But certainly there is none for your giving up a certainty for an uncertainty. It is not the place that makes the man a success; it is what is in the man himself. In every city in the land there are thousands of men who have lived there all their lives, leaving it because they think it offers them no oppor- tunities, and there are thousands of young men coming into it from the outside to make their own opportunities in it. The man who wants to work will always find it. My advice is not only not to follow your husband, but to write to him that you are never going to come to him until he goes to work and makes a living for you. If he cares anything about you or there is any manhood in him that will rouse it. (Copyright. 1927.) DeroTHT D Leftover Potatoes.

(Copyright, 1927, by Cosmos Newspaper Syndicate, Inc.) Many years ago, as evening was closing in, the third Grand Inquisi- tor of Spain. preceded by two fa- miliars, made his way into a subter- ranean dungeon. The bolt ofia mas- sive door creaked and they entered a crypt, where the dim light revealed between rings fastened to the wall a blood-stained rack, a brazier and a jug. On a pile of straw, loaded with fetters and his. neck encircled by an iron chain, sat a haggard man of uncertain age, clothed in rags. “Rejoice,” =aid the Third Inguisi- tor. “Your trials here below are about to end. Tomorrow vou will be burned at the stake. The flames, as you know, burn only at a distance and death is at least two hours in coming, on account of the wet, iced bandages with which we protect the heads and hearts of the condemned. There will be 43 of you.” Then the captive was left, soli- tary and bewildered, in the darkness, The prisoner, with parched lips and visage worn by suffering, at first gazed at the closed door with vacant eyes. Closed? The word un- consciously aroused a vague fancy in his mind, the fancy that he had seen for an instant the light of the lantern through a chink between the door and the wall. A morbid idea of hope, due to the weakness of his brain, stirred his- whole being. He dragged himself toward the strange appearance. Then, very gently and cautiously, slipping one finger into the crevice he drew the door toward him. Marvelous! By an extraordi- nary accident the familiar who closed it had turned the huge key an instant before it struck the stone casing so that the rusty bolt not having en- tered the hole, the door again rolled on its hinges. He ventured to glance outside. By THE DAILY HOROSCOPE Friday, October 14. Astrologers read tomorrow as a day of evil sway among the planets, a time for avolding all risks.

WORLD FAMOUS STORIES THE TORTURE BY HQPE the aid of a sort of luminous dusk he distinguished at first a semi-circle of walls indented by winding stairs and opposite him, at the top of five or six stone steps, a sort of black portal, opening into an immense cor- ridor,» whose first arches only were visible from below. Stretching himself flat he crept to the threshold. Yes, it was really a corridor, but endless in length. A wan light illumined it; lamps sus- pended from the vaulted eeiling lightened at intervals the dull hue of the atmosphere—the distance was veiled in shadow. Not a single door appeared in' the whole extent! Only on one side, the left, heavily grated loopholes, sunk in the walls, ad- mitted a light which must be that of evening, for crimson bars at in- tervalg rested on' the flags of the vavement, - What a terrible silence! Yet, yonder, at the far end of that passage, -there might be a doorway escape! This cavillating hope was enacious, for it was the last. Without hesitating, he ventured on (he flags, keeping close under the loopholes, trying to make himself part of the blackness of the long walls. He advanced slowly, dragging himself along on his breast, forcing back the cry of pain when some raw wound sent a keen pang through his whole body. Suddenly the sound of a sandaled foot approaching reached his W, He trembled violently; fear stifled him; his sight grew dim. .Well, it was over, no doubt. He pressed him- self into a niche and, half lifeless with terror, waited. It was a familiar hurrying along. He passed swiftly by, holding in his clenched hand an instrument of tor- ture—a frightful figure—and van- ished. The suspense which the poor old man had endured seemed to have suspended the functions of life, and he lay nearly an hour unable to move. Fearing an increase of tor- tures if he were captured, he thought of returning to his dungeon. But the old hope whispered in his soul. A miracle had happened. He could doubt no longer. He began to crawl toward the chance of escape. Ex- hausted by suffering and hunger, trembling with pain, he pressed on- ward. The sepulchral corridor seemed to lengthen mysteriously. while he, still advancing, gazed into the gloom where there must be some avenue of escape. Oh! Oh! He again heard footsteps, but this time they were slower, more heavy. The white and black forms of two Inquisitors appeared, emerging from the obscurity beyond. ° They were conversing in low tones, and seemed to be discussing some im- portant subject, for they were gestie- ulating strongly. At this spectacle the old man closed his eves; his heart beat so violently that it almost suffocated him; his rags were damp with the cold sweat of agony; he lay motionless by the wall, his mouth wide open, under the rays of a lamp, praying. Just opposite him the two Inquisi- tors paused under the light of the lamp—doubtless owing to some acci- dent due to the course of their argu- ment. One, while listening to his com- panion, gazed at the old man! And, beneath the look—whose absence of expression the unfortunate man did not at first notice—he fancied he again felt the burning pincers scorch his flesh; he was to be once more a living wound. Fainting, breathless, with fluttering eyelids, he shivered at the touch of the Inquisitor's flowing robe. But—strange yet natural fact—the Inquisitor's gaze was evidently that of a man deeply absorbed in his in- tended reply, engrossed by what he was hearing. 1ils eyes were fixed— and seemed to look at the old man without seeing him! In fact, after the lapse of a few ‘minutes, the two gloomy figures slowly pursued their way, still con- versing in low tones, toward the place whence the prisoner had come. He had not been seen! Amid the horri- ble confusion of the old man’s thoughts, the idea darted through his brain: “Can I already be dead that they did not see me?” Forward!

Suddenly the poor wretch felt a gust of cold air on the hands resting upon the stones; it came from under the little door to which the walls led. Oh, if that door should open out- ward! Every nerve in the miserable fugitive's body thrilled with hope. He passed his hand over it—no bolt, no lock! A latch! He started up, the latch yielded to the pressure of his thumb—the door silently swung open before him. “Halleluiah!” he muttered in a transport of gratitude. The door had opened into the gardens, below a stat- lit sky, into Spring, liberty, life! Suddenly he fancied he saw the shadow of his arms approach him— fancied that he felt these shadowy arms inclose, embrace him—and that he was pressed to some one’s breast. A tall figure actually did stand directly before him. He lowered his eyes from the stars—and remained motionless, gasping for breath, dazed, with fixed eyes, fairly driveling with terror. Horror! He was in the clasp of the Grand Inquisitor himself. The dark- robed monster pressed the old man fo his heart in a mockery of tenderness, while the poor prisoner with protrud- ing eyes gasped in agony at vague comprehension that all the phases of this fatal evening, all his eager hurry- PANCAKE FLOUR What a happy THE Delicious Dozen! handy carton.
