Canadian Girls - Neglect Glamor Here Says They Don't Play Up Their Assets Canadiaps have better facial con- tours than their American sisters, but they do not take full advantage o «Bf this asset, says Mme. Helena Rubenstein on a brief visit to this country,' She thinks if we bad a the United States, we might bo more beauty consclous. Skiing, skating and tobogganing are hard on the skin during thé winter and jolt, tennis and swimming tako their toll under the hot summer wun, but the sports girl who takes care of her skin can still retain its beauty. A few minutes with her Jars of cream at night, and a foun- fation makeup during the day will help to counteract the effects of extreme cold or heat, both equally fevasiating to the girl who wants Jo keep that youthful, "dewy"" look. OLDER-WOMEN For the older woman, the beauty »xpert suggests that, she should jelect two or three lovely colors that are definitely becoming to her and build her wardrobe around that tolor scheme, She also says that in the hectic pace of the 20th century modo of life, accentuated by our war efforts, the muscles of the face do not get enough help from the majority of us to keep them uplift ed and youthful, Emotion, tension, fatigue all tend to produce a droop: ing contour, a double chin, lined skin and sagging throat.

ALL-BRAN cer your OUNCE OF PREVENTION every pa Lost Kingdom . . by OREN ARNOLD CHAPTER 1 The postmaster at Blanco Can- yon peered over his spectacles in order to study Robert Barry. "Looks like you'd oughta come in every week, young feller," he remarked, "Here's a passel of it. More'n all the rest put together." Bob smiled in acknowledgment, but his interest was centered on the armful of mail. There were nearly 20 magazines; two or three, concerning ardhacology and prehistoric people, the postmaster . ndd never heard of before. Sev- eral Sunday editions of New York newspapers added bulk, And neat- ly tied by the postmaster for con- venience was a stack of letters _ three inches high. Bob took "these and grunted "Hunh" in surprise. They were mostly long business envelopes, with typed addresses. ® 'ed, but-- "Yes! Yes sir!" Bob remember- ed to be cordial. "Guess I ought to, at that. But I have to ride you and Jim Farley arrange to serd me rural delivery?" They laughed over the joke and Bob went outside. He stored the bulk mail in his car, then thumbed the letters. He opened the first one, and for the next half hour sat on the running board of his sedan and read his mail, oblivious of Arizona's autumn unshine which still retained much of its summer "power. 2 & . Eight of the letters were an. , swers to a long classified adver- New York newspapers a month ago. Of these, one instantly ex- cited him: "Dear Dr. Barry: You have advertised for a par t- dwelling on your ranch. That sounds great; I think I am the partner you need, I will leave New York day after tomorrow, and so should reach Blanco Cany- on, Arizona, by Tuesday, accord- nig to the schedule. I noté your warning that we will be isolated in a wilderness, miles from any town. That won't matter. I know older people think "We younger ones can't be happy without 'a erowd, but I will prove it isn't so. My father was like that, too. You may have heard of him--Elworth C, Lane -- because he went to Harvard too. Class of 1898, Father didn't study archac- . ology, though. -(You see I know you are a Harvard graduate be- cause my lawyers reported that. writing.) Also I expect to. do sone of the work, I_ mean, something besides just putting up. the mon. ey. I know a little about drch- aeology already. And, I'm read- ng books, -- TOUGH, HANG GH coy cols Y' oe NO. 12-40 io 0 horseback for 20 miles just to. come in to Blanco Canyon. Can't I had them investigate you before: They 'were not entirely unexpect-- tisement which he 'had mailed to - _| ner to explore the ancient cliff - | , camping trip, .toward the distant 'hills, © You can investigate me to be sure you are satisfied as to my financial rating. (My lawyers said you would probably want to do that.) I enclose cashier's check for $5,000, for. good faith, and will pay the remainder when 1 arrive. Cordially yours, MoM, LANE. P. ST will wait for you at the leading . hotel in Blanco Canyon." Bob reread the lctter hastily, and in some alarm. He hastencd back into the "postoffice. * "Say, Mr, Withers," he called to the postmaster, "when does that motor stagé get in from Tucson?" "Tuesdays and Saturdays, To- day's Tuesday you know." "Yes, btit"what hour?" .. "Due 'bout 1 o'clock. They have grub here, yauknow, then go on to--" "One o'clock! Jiminy! Well, it's lucky I came in today, else--" " 'Smatter, Mr. Barry? Bad news? You got to leave?' The postmaster was a friendly soul. "No, no! Nothing like that. Just happens a man, a man named Lane, is coming out from the East to see me on business, and is due in today. I didn't expect him so soon, In fact, I didn't expect him at all; until'I could write around some, He sort of took me off my feet. But his letter reads sensibly enough, I suppose. He went on--" Delight' To A Scientist Bob Barry halted his talk. The inslination of a man who has been alone for weeks at a time is to be highly sociable" in town, but after all this was private busi- "ness," "--oh it's just a little land mat- ter," "he evaded, and grinned good-naturedly at the postmaster. He began thinking rapidly. If this fellow "Lane believed in ac- » tion; as he obviously does; maybe I'd better snap into it myself, Bob reasoned. This cashier's check proves it. "What a break!' he whispered to himself in elation, It was better luck than he had dated expect, The other letters, in re- sponse to the advertisement, were mostly cagey, cautious, But here was money actually in hand, far more than he needed. He could go ahead, at once, with a project that had intrigued him for almost a year, .His scientist's mind was clicking delightfully now. He gave 'immediate thought to organizing the party which could explore the Tliff dwelling in the Montezuma mountain range. "We'll need a cook," he rei soned.-*I'll go see old Three Hors- es." t We Need A Cook Threo Horses was an Indian _who' seemed to have lived forever, 'and who loafed eternally now a- round the village of Blanco Can- yon, He was wise in his way. "Need good cook," Bob Barry explained, patiently. "You ketch um me good cook, Three Horses. Savvy? Cook beans, bread, meat, everything outdoors, Me go long You ab You send me Indian who can cook white man's grub. All right?" Three Horses wouldn't be rush. ed, He had to be primed with a vigar, a bag of candy, and the purple silk neckerchief which Bob wore jauntliy around his collar. But in the end he promised. "Have the cook ¢ Sine to my shack over- there," ob pointed "And next time I see you, it's aidollar for you. Good cook: White man's grub, Hurry." ' the answer. _ felt let down. 'consciences, ten law, Bob next thought .to begin buy- ing provisions, but he decided to wait. Maybe this fellow Lane would have sonie ideas, At any rate he would he the financial backer, with a half interest in the entire proceeding. Courtesy at least demanded that he be con- sulted, since he was due so soon. What's Lane Like? Bob spent the remaining hour wondering what sort of fellow Lane would be. His letter sound- ed a trifle--well, youngish, Hope the man isn't a dudish type. Or spoiled rich. That wouldn't do so well in the 'outdoors. Bob wand a partner who could work up an eneroy as well .as an enthutiasm for this explorativ. tripe That. oid cliff dwelling--a remarkable pre- historic castle up 600 feet on the sheer side of a rock wall--was probably the most important ruin 'n North America. It would take, long, lonely weeks, but Bob felt that he might excavate it thor- oughly and solve the age-old prob- lem of what became -of the cliff people. They were, indeed, a for- gotten race, a Jot kingdom. No scientist knew what became of them. Any scientist would gain fame and wealth if he could learn It fascinated Robert Wilson Barry, called Bob, - Dust down the 'highway herald- ed the coming of the motor bus, on time. Bob walked to the post- office, where it would stop. The driver threw out a bag of mail, and stood by the door to as- sist one passenger out. Bob strain- ed to catch a first glimpse of his man, M.'M. Lane. ; No man got off, however. Bob until néxt Saturday now, and he had béen thoroughly aroused about it all. His face turned long in "disappointment. LS But then the lone, passenger, 'a girl, came up to him, "Pardon me," she addressed Bob, "but is there--a hotel? The town +is much smaller than I ex- pected." A suspicion Bob! He glared at her, 'almost fierce- ly. He fumbled with his hat. "You -- you.--" he stammer- ed;-"What's-your- name 2**- She smiled, rather beautifully but in amused surprise. too. "Why, it's Lane.:I"m Mary Me- lissa Lane. I am looking for a Dr. Barry, my business partner." (To Be Continued) Easter Oddities Good Friday was known to the Danes as Long Friday, because sermons of great length were preached on that day. Bun Eating is not a recent cus. tom, The first people fo eat buns were the Egyptians, and the word "bun" is derived from "bous," a horned 'cake which was an eftigy of their sacred heifer. The bun represented the moon and the cross its four quarters, and was worshipped by the Greeks, Ro- mans and Egyptians, Throwing at Cocks was a pop- ular pastime at Easter Monday fairs about 100 years ago. Men and boys stood some , distance away and hurled heavy sticks at cocks, in the same way as they shy ut coconuts to.day. This bar- barous sport was a salve to their because the cock crowed thrice during the denial of Our:Lord by Peter! 1 Mobhbed "for Smiling: - In many American towns all. businesses, transport and pleasure used to cease on Good Friday from 9'a.m, to 8' pan, as a reminder of tho Crucifixion, and people have been mobbed for smiling and lynched becdusé they ignored this unwrit- Ingihitly ; struck It "your skin ls 'dry and chapped, try. washing it in warm milk, * He'd have to wait - - glimpse of freshness and beauty, "Platter Garnishings-- "pattern, " 6, jumper and 'cap, takes 1% yds. .ed) for this 'Anne*Adams pattern. m=» LRN "By SADIE B, CHAMBERS Wonce again. the' world is pre- paring for that beautiful Spring Pageant of Easter, What a won- derful _ privilege to be able to quietly meditate upon that beauti. ful message of Péace and Hope, which all Christendom commem. orates at.
