Experiments . . . •:'■] -.. ,.'.', Making Beauty Preparations at Home Interesting but Expensive By DONNA GRACE While we know very well that there are few girls or women who spend time puttering around with the home-made creams and other beauty product!, there is. nothing to be said against this practice, except trom an economic point. U usually costs more to make a good cream at home than to buy the product from a'good manufacturer. By thia we mean,a really good crearn. The ingredients ipust be assembled then everything hai to be mixed and blended just so before the final blending. It Is important that they be the same temperature wheh they are put together or the mixture will not be satisfactory. The aluminum kitchen dishes and pans may cause the colored an; ilxture.to become dls- _ _ the perfuming pf the mixture takes the deft, and experi enced touch of an expert. When we lay we do not condemn this ambition we know that it .will be short-lived ai it is usually the first step ln knowing the need of beauty treatments. When persons begin to experiment at home, you may be Hire there will never again be a time when they will never again to have some ot the better creams and other products for dally use, and pne of the best ways to appreciate the quality of a good produot is to try home manufacturing.

Suppose you loved one another, do you think tor a minute that the doctor would stand by and wait for you to, divorce your husband; then marry ypu and take on a brood of six to support?, '■'■ Doesn't common sense tell you that there will be less grief in mastering this emotion that tears yqu than in letting it master you, wreck your home and send it crashing down on the heads of your«Uttle*ones.

ADMINISTRATJVE COST OF RELIEF |y How much does it cost to Administer Uncle Sam's relief? file answer depends on the kind of relief. The emergency |jel-a_ bureau of New York city, in 4$ years spent nearly ^69,000,000 for administrative wages and salaries and $6,- 189,000 for Supplies, materials, equipment, rentals and other operating costs. This bureau gave direct relief and Was quite l^ajrtffrom the WPA or Works Progress Administration of the' national government. j The former members of the EBB, whloh. one year ago jfoewme the home relief division bf tiie departmnt of public Spelfare, have issued a report of th_. tmrtfru's work and ex- penscs from January 1, 1984, to last June; the final six' ponttis cover the relief operations of the department of i public welfare. ..:."■' '•".,*■■"'/"■ '■''■ •;';':r' This report is not statistically perfect, however. It in-- [eludes a table for all relief, both work relief and diirect relief ^administered in New York city for i% years. Citing the ftotal cost of all this, which averaged $22,844,772 a month, the report calculates the cost of EBB's administration- as 16.16 per cent of the total. But it appears from the figures Bhat the ERB's direct relief averaged $9,109,291.a month, land that, therefore tiie administration cost averaged $1,407,- |407.a month, or 15.44 per cent. ■■■':, P A much clearer picture of this appalling cost is seen in Wat disclosure that, the ?76,669,Q60 spent for administration |of the EBB almost equaled the combined cost of what the |ERB'gave to those on relief in clothing, shoes, gas, electro Icity, carfares, medical and nttrsing care,-household supplies I (excepting foodl, milk for nursing mothers, lunches and Idothiiig for school children; meals, lodgings, carfare and. iclotiiing for" the homeless; ..all relief'to transients and all Itelief to veterans, plus nearly $2,000,000 for upkeep of New [York's municipal lodging house.

If you behave." In her concern-for him Sara Sue assumed that he was still danger' ously ill. She overlooked his bright ness, Many people are awed by hospitals anyway, and by the fact of a patient's being- in bed. She was half an hour learning that Thorny Holgate was practically well but eventually they were able to converse naturally, without restraint. "It certainly Is wonderful to see you getting well," she .assured him, repeating it ' ', "Thank you again, madam, I mean—Sara' Sue. I have forgotten my lessons,-1 fear, ha, ha!" She scowled at him In mock reproof. "You should be punished." But then, you were making progress, when the accident came. I'm real proud of you, Thorny. You actually took .peaches to Galveston! And now you are a hero and so she thinks still more of you. You could hardly have done better. You are my star hero. "I do not wish to be referred to as a hero," he declared, simply. "I'm very sorry, my dear'profes- suh, but :your wishes have nothing to do -with that!" ,- "I beg pardon?" "Haven t you seen the papers, Thorny? No. -Probably they have kept you quiet of course. Well, Mister Thornton Holgate, Ph. I)., you're a hero whether ypu Uke it or not, so there! The newspapers—" She told him all about it Apd to verify it she went into the hospital reading room and brought him recent copies of- the Galveston News and of the Houston papers, showing him not only the details of the rescue, but the photographs ai well. Re glanced at them without __. By OtlEN ARNOLD mounting concern, looking from one to the other.. ' "B-but this is.most lamentaWe! What shall I do? Look!" "Calm 4own, Thorny. I told you you were a hero, whether ybu like It or not" - "But mv dear Mrs, Davis—" - "I am not your dear Mri. Davis. I am Sara Sue, Just as I was before you became famous. You can't go high-hat on hie now!" • ■ She felt like; bedeviling him. The poor man was truly Indignant at the notoriety that had centred oh him. He became so disturbed that Sara Sue felt concerned tor hit health, but sha succeeded in convincing him that it would not be detrimental either to reputation or dignity. "After all, an accident is an accident silly," she laughed at him, "and most people would he delighted to find themselves heroes. People will say you are.being affected if you act this way, Thorny. He hadn't thought pf that Sara Sue knew she had him' whipped Sto line then. He would take his me as befitted a modest gentleman, without too much ado about it She, of course, knew he was honest: but a careless public might misunderstand. ' . "The best .thing to do Thorny, when people ask,, you about the accident is to offer ho protests, but talk as little as you can. Admit that you were badly frightened in the water, if you were, and—" "I was! Indeeu I was. I thought I should die, Sara Sue!" ,' "We are' all:so happy you didn't, Thornyl We—Peaches—will be proud of you. YoU should have no difficulty making love to her how, But remember that I am still willing to help, you every way lean." "Ah, yes, yes':to be sure. I appreciate what you have done." He said that with no enthusiasm, and was staring vacantly at a wall. "I shall, of - course, want to—ah, resume' my endeavors as quickly as possible.' , . , "Of course, Thorny." Sara Sua barely murmured the agreement. She bit her lip, and arose to pull a wrinkled spread over him hjore smoothly. "Do you—find her—Still wonderful, and everything?" "I beg pardon?" He turned to look at her again. v "I jneaii, aren't you so happy that your romance Is progressing as you had hoped? Peaches- is—very lovely. Pretty. And I am Sure you are worthy of her, too, Thorny!" "Oh! Well:-," ' The .conversation wasn't moving at all. smoothly. Thornton Holgate was still doing some deep thinking. Before Sara Sue had arrived h. had begun to argue "With himself about Peaches Pomeroy. And now,'with Sara Sue here, the Side that didn't like Peaches gained strength with him. Notwithstanding the fact that Sara herself Joined the argument in Peaches' favor. It was'all Very confusing. "My mind Is entirely clear, now, though," he stated, surprisingly. Then* he caught himself and blushed. But Sara Sue missed the connotation of it. He had meant that the dullness following the accident had passed, and so any mental confusion couldn't be blamed on that. But Sara Sue thought he simply was more sure than ever, of his love for Peaches Pomeroy, Dr. McGill came soon, and said that Thornton could go home tomorrow, Sara Sue left, promising to meet him Friday afternoon when he arrived ln Houston, and take him to the dormitories. . He hated to see her go. It left him alone again, to resume argu ing with himself. He didn't like it. He missed the subtle perfume and freshness of Sara Sue., He missed the soft sweet timbre of her voice —which made strangers know a pretty girl was coming even before they actually saw her—and he missed the delightful, fluffy, becoming little girl way she dressed. "Danui It" he growled to himself, remembering to lay "damn". "I am not at alt sure that I Want to marry Geraldine, or even continue the love making. But I cannot t>ack down now. I cannot be disloyal to ■ Sara' Sue, who ■ hai helped me so much. She must not think me a quitter. I must sec the courtship with Geraldine through." ■ I To Bo Continued' Sast series. The pastor ot a city par h, such ai the one over which ha presides, does hot need my permission to conduct, a weekly forum any more than I required hii approbation. But to ask me to provide the hall and the audience-rwell, after all, there IS a limit to good nature. ''However, no 'flit denial' was made to the gentleman's request to explain Protestantism. A capacity crowd in the Cathedral hall saw me step down and distinctly heard hie otter him the platform as soon as he expressed a desire tb ask a question. The preferred courtesy of the rostrum was" refused, and, by actual count Mr. Donnell spent more than 10 minutes getting to a statement bt the question he had risen to propose. This is not by way of criticism of his manner of speaking, but simply an evidence ot my willlngi.css to let him say what he wished without Interruption and for any reasonable length-of time. I have made it a point to Invite questions and discussions of this kind at each of my lectures. '*, "Rev. Mr. Donhell knew quite well that his request 'for the privilege of conducting a series of lectures entitled The Protestant Church Explains' was an impossible one. Tlpe Catholic attitude ih this matter had been carefully and thoroughly explained to hiin by myself and my bishop on more than one occasion. He knows full well that the Catholic church is convinced that it, and it alone, ii the ONE TRUE church and that as a consequence of thii belief, it is most logically opposed to its members giving' ear to the preaching ot doctrine contradicting Its own.

The hospital was opened in a building on Columbia avenue, which was Intended for a store. There was no running water, but volunteers pack- ad the day's supply from a nearby spring. Packing cases Were used for tables, and candles and coal-oil lamps furnished light, and the crudest conditions prevailed. Then followed the construction ot the present frame building, which has been in use for 42 years. It waa built by day labor ana the generosity of the miners of that day, as well as the contributions trom business and professional men, permitted the. Sisters to meet tha payroll every Saturday nigfyt ' The present fire-prooi wing, which will cost approximately $80,000 when finished, will bo the last word in construction and,equipment, and It was due to generosity of the Consolidated Mining k Smelting company and the West Kootenay Power & Light comoany that the ambitious plans could be carried out.
