Comfy Baby/ THANKS TO HIS OLIVE OIL POWDER! MOTHEIL for combating “prickly heat” Z.B.T. Olive Oil Baby Powder has no equal. Its unique olive oil content gives Z.B.T. superior “slip,” makes it resistant to moisture. That’s why Z.B.T. excels all other powders in preventing chafing and in soothing irritated condi- tions of the skin. Leading hospitals use it. THIS WEEK ——————, 12 Paris Green ‘Behold! It is the collection Poslesse!’ Mees West, I give two hundred fifty thousand francs for ze collection!” Arizona gasped, swallowed hard and resumed her poker face with difficulty. The sum was more than twice what Colossal had agreed to pay. But she shook her head sadly. “‘Sorry, Frenchy,” she said, ‘‘but I just naturally can’t sell you those glory-clothes!” ~ ““Ah! But you must "’ he cried. ‘‘Zis ees a crise, ze tum of my great career. Tomorrow ees my opening an’ I mus’ open! I implore, Mees West! I weel pay fise hundred thousand francs for ze collection and at ze same time I gal- lantly save Mademoiselle’s own career, perbdlen! 1 geev her the exclusive on ziz collection for se great Spratt in America! Veild! I am save, you air save, Spratt is save! C'est formidable!” For a moment Arizona thought fast. The mere fact of an American-de- signed collection of spring clothes being palmed off as the latest from Paris tickled her innermost soul. This was both buying and selling American in a big way. Then, also, the sum in- He hasn't many comforts—but'm plenty envious of one thing that old Eskimo ' has! He enjoys good teeth!. . .

MOUTH HEALTHY DENTYNE DELICIOUS CHEWING GUM Continved from poge five volved was tremendous. What Spratt would do about showing the things with a Poilesse brand-mark on them, was a matter for the old gentleman himself to decide — but in any event the money would talk. And she could go right back to Tony. That was something, for she was beginning to miss him badly. Suddenly her brilliant smile broke forth. “‘Shake!”’ said Arizona. “‘It’s a bar- gain. I'll bring the stuff around to- night.” Ten minutes later M. Lelong looked up from his intricate longhand records to see the big and beautiful, but quite mad American girl panting with ex- citement, her eyes wild. “*Quick!” said Arizona. ‘‘I want my trunk back immediately!”” M. Lelong stuck his pen behind his ear with maddening deliberation. “First madame demands the trunk,” he said reflectively, ‘‘then she wishes it not; and now once more she loves the trunk and desires it!"’ “Quit writing poetry! that trunk in hurry!’ *‘But the trunk ss in what you call the hurry!”’ protested the porter. ‘‘She is gone on the gronde vitesse!” “Then stop it!”’ cried Arisona. ‘“‘You got to lasso the darned thing someways and have it in the corral here before six o’clock!” *‘Madame asks for the moon!” sighed M. Lelong. ““The trunk is de- parted. Vosld" Arizona muttered something under her breath and that something had a distinctly unladylike sound. ““Where’s the depot?”’ she said. “‘I’ll round up that trunk if it’s the last thing I ever do!”’ *‘Hélas!”” said M. Lelong. ‘‘There is no time! The train is seldom more than a little quarter of an hour late in leaving, and it is far to la Gare Saint Lazare!” “‘Gimme that check!” said Arizona grimly, jamming her hat down and bolting for the door. *“This is one time these crazy taxis are going to really do their stuff!” From this point on it was remark- able how well Arizona managed to make herself understood. Indeed, she suddenly discovered an excellent sub- stitute for French, and at the curb she used it. Holding a thousand franc note under the nose of the first taxi driver she encountered, she raised her voice. “‘Veet, veet!’ she said. ‘‘Gere Saint Lazare! Very veet, get me?”’ Five minutes later she was trying to remember the word for slow. The taxi leaped and bounced, hurdled ob- stacles and grazed corners, bleating incessantly the while. *‘Can’t hardly stay in the saddle!” Arizona gasped. Suddenly another bleating taxi was confronting them. Brakes screamed, and not a hair could have been passed between the front bumpers of the cars. Their drivers leaped from their seats and began an account of each other’s ancestry. Arizona joined them, ex- pressing her own opinion. A gendarme began making notes, three soldiers in berets stopped to add their comment, and for half a block in each direction, all traffic ceased. Arizona looked at her watch and groaned aloud. *“Will you kindly cut out this combi- nation powwow and rain dance?” she demanded. But no one paid the slight- est attention. Then with sudden alarm I want Animalgrams by GEORGE HOPF PEPPY LITTLE CRITTER, REALLY SEEMS TOO.HARSH_ TO WIND UP IN A STEW-PAN- JUST A VEAL-GOULASH/ she realized that the policeman was getting ready to question her. If that happened, they might be there all day. So Arizona spoke French again, wav- ing the thousand franc note. “Depot!” she yelled. ‘‘Gare Saint Lazare! Veet! Veet!’ It 'worked like magic, and the only difficulty was that Arizona presently discovered that she had got into the wrong taxi and that her original driver was following frantically, screaming and blowing his horn, while the gendarme had sprung into still a third taxi and was hot on the trail, intent on seeing justice done. Then at long last her goal came into sight. Hardly waiting for the cab to stop. Arizona jumped out, threw the thousand franc note where it could most easily be fought over, and then plunged into the madhouse of the station itself. Looking wildly about her, she drew another note from her purse and raised her voice. “‘Cherbourg!”’ she yelled ‘“‘Trunk! Bag-gage! Veet!” In an instant she was surrounded by porters, all wearing blue denim smocks with numbers on them, ban- dana handkerchiefs and peaked caps. They roared, they pointed in different directions — to the ticket office, the newsstand, the restaurant. **Nom, nix, non!"’ shouted Arizona. “‘Cherbourg! Trunk!” At last a glimmer of intelligence ap- peared on one of the dirty faces. It belonged to a diminutive porter labeled 13. “Ah-ha!”’ said he. ‘‘Cherbourg!”’ ‘““Wee-wee!” cried Arizona, waving her money wildly. The blue-bloused porter seized her arm and dragged her rapidly to a gate, the others following, chattering like monkeys. On the plat- form the crowd was thick. Number Thirteen tried to force Arizona into a first class carriage. Then into a second class compartment, then into a third class accommodation. But by now Arizona had spotted the larger bag- gage. It was being rolled in on wire- enclosed trucks — an endless proces- sion. She ran from one to another of them, searching vainly, followed by an army of porters. And then at last she found it. Eager hands tore away the encumbering trunks that were piled on top of it, and with a mighty heave the little porter who had elected himself her particular guide shoul- dered the massive trunk and backed towards the baggage car just as the starting signal sounded. With a howl of rage Arizona grabbed for the other end, pulling away from the train. The trunk reached the platform with a re- sounding bang. The little porter col- lapsed beside it, and Arizona sat upon the trunk firmly, shaking her fist at Number Thirteen. “You senseless little prairie dog!” said Arizona. ‘‘What do you think I am, a couple of American drunks try- ing to make the boat train?"’ Then her wrath cooled and she remembered to speak her French again — this time with a mere hundred franc note. ““Taxi?” she said. The little porter looked even more intelligent than ever. By six o'clock that evening M. Poilesse had a complete collection, and Arizona had a contract and a very fat check made out to Wm. Spratt, Inc. But she had lost something else, to wit, the buoyancy which was usually hers to such a generous degree. Sud- denlyshewasrather frightened at what she had done, and even the prospect of seeing Tony only added to her de- pression. Suppose Tony disapproved? After all, the Hollywood contract had been his and this particular set of cQs- tumes had been his pride and joy. What would he have to say? For the next five days on the ocean she had plenty of time to wonder. And then on the morning of the sixth she was in his arms, tearfully confessing. “Do you think your dad will fire me?” she asked fearfully. “Well, not this week,” said Tony fondly. ‘‘Because, you see, the Colos- sal people changed their minds and decided to make a deluxe Western in- stead. So they not only kept your clothes but wired Dad congratulating him on his excellent service in supply- ing them so super-promptly!” (Another episode in the adveniures of Arszona West will appear next week.) cleanses beneath the surfa Mogazine Se BLACKHERD!
