l DEAR. MISS DIX-I am sufficiently practical to believe that u man should choose a wife whose physical qualifications give some assurance l that she can be the mother of reasonably strong and healthy children. I believe, too, that he should choose u wile whose lOOks are such that he would never be humiliated by her appearance, on me 0cm; hand there are other desirable qualitiesthiit a woman may have, such as piety, domestic _ IOYBIty, etc. My question is: Can these latter virtues justify a

Phillis Varley continued to stare at the hand for ii moment and then, very slowly, she felt herself ‘tipping vertically across the brass edge of the counter.

In that las- moment of con- sciousness the girl had realized who it viva; lay there; whose wax-like

hand projected so grotesquely. A ‘

curious gold rlne fashioned from twle ted serpent 1 was still around the li‘tle finger, and that ring as everyone in Oxtons knew lxalonged to Nikolas Nolescue the expert in Oriental silks who had arrived only a month ago. ‘ (To be Continued)

If you study your face carefully every morning in the mirror you will easily recognize when “half- way house" has arrived. You will perceive tiny lines at the bottom of your cheeks. round the mouth and eyes.

Then you must change the co- lour of your powder and not put it on so thickly.

Here are the chief points to remember — they are simple but they will make all the differ- ence to your arharance.

At night a nourishing cream should be rubbed all over the face —the surplus lightly wiped off with a tissue, then the skin left for the night.
