to talk to you a little about cleans-
ing the skin.
For simple cleansing I’d suggest
three things: a cleansing cream,
a lotion that tones and freshens—
and, of course, cleansing tissues.
Also, and this is most important,
you will want the free and full use
of both your hands! It’s my
theory that only by using both
hands can you give every single
part of your face and neck the
kind of treatment it needs.
Now, with your finger tips
spread with the fragrant cleans-
ing cream, smooth it up—up-
up—from the base of the neck,
all over your face. I like a cream,
first of all, that liquefies quickly
under contact. It should not re-
quire hard rubbing and kneading.
Just smooth it on. A good cream
penetrates and lifts the dust and
grime right out.
Now—again using both hands—
take two pieces of cotton and dip
each into a freshening lotion,
using the middle fingers of each
hand. Begin again at the base of
the neck and smooth up and up
gently. With the excess cream
dissolved, and every pore en-
couraged to breathe again, your
skin will feel deliciously clean
and cool.

While in France, I was impressed
with the knowledge and skill most
women possess in the use of their
hands.
We may as well realize that
they are jointly responsible for
skin loveliness, along with prepa-
rations of unquestioned quality.
Of course, we need just the
right things to work with! You
who are home-makers know that
you can’t cook if you don’t have
flour, and eggs, butter and baking
powder. So, in caring for your
skin, you can’t expect to keep it
healthy and well-nourished with-
out using just the right applica-
tions.
However, in any really fine
preparations there is no secret.
It is all there in the jar ready for
use. The secret—if you still in-
sist on one—is simply to use these
scientific aids as they were in-

Making Old Folks Happy
TT WAS Christmas night; one of
1 those cold, clear nights, when it
is a delight to sit by the fire. Jack
and Nancy Lee were doing just
this, and they were very happy.
“Wasn’t Christmas wonderful?”
Nancy’s eyes glowed.
Jack’s arm went round her:
She—Mother won’t let me accept

Unexpected Surprises
Welcomed at Christmas
DOROTHY sat huddled discon-
L solately in the big arm chair
before the grate fire. To have ton-
sils out just before Christmas was
bad enough, but to be waiting for
a sweetheart and to know that
there was a forwarded letter in an-
other girl’s handwriting, also
awaiting him was much worse.
“Hello, Dot,” in breezed Jack, all
joy and Christmas gaiety. He
leaned over and kissed her ten-
derly:
"You poor kid. It’s sure tough,
at Christmas, too.”
Dorothy smiled wanly and point-
ed to the letter on the table.
“Who the deuce?” Jack slit the
envelope, glanced over it and
thrust it into his pocket. “Why
waste time reading your letters
when I’ve got you—but it was sure
good of you to have Mary write
me.”
Dorothy’s eyes brightened and
her throat seemed almost well.
What a goose she was to have for-
gotten that she had asked Mary
to write Jack and tell him how
she was. What a wonderful time
Christmas was with its unexpected
surprises!—Florence Harris Wells.

Although the Lobos lost more
games than they won, both coach-
es seem satisfied. “Considering
that over half of the team were
freshmen, we did not have such a
bad season aftr all,e” says Assist-!
ant Coach Duncan.
“I did not expect too much from
a green team,” is Graves’ state-
ment. Since Sul Ross loses only
Charles Dyer, captain of this I
year’s squad, and Buddy Withers, |
Graves is looking forward to a
very successful season next year.
It is known that Sut Ross had a
good crop of freshmen, but they
lacked experience. Experience
goes a long way in winning foot-
ball games. Though the pack lost
to New Mexico Aggies, San Mar-
cos Teachers, and Schreiner, the
Lobos held three of the most pow-
erful teams in West Texas to ties.
Getting off to a flying start
by holding the Texas Tech Mata-
dors to a tie, the Lobos hoped to
go through the season undefeated.
But their hopes were killed the
next week when they lost to the
New Mexico Aggies.
The pack suffered another loss
at the hands of the San Marcos
Teachers at Uvalde. Coming from
these two gruelling contests, the;
Gravesmen battled the strong Ell
The class in physiology had been
studying the structure and func-!
tions of the lower limbs and feet. |
The teacher had emphasized the!
proper care of the feet, and the'
lesson assignment for the next day
was for each pupil to write a pa-
per telling what he had learned
about the subject. One boy turned I
in the following:
“It is funny about our feet.
They are hitched to the body by
our legs. Some are big and some
isn’t, some are long and some
ain’t. If a short man had long
legs he could wade in deep water,
but if a long man had short legs
he would not reach the ground.
“The function of the feet de-
pends on whose feet they are. A
dog uses his to run with, while a
pup mostly uses his to scratch
fleas off him to someone else. A
centipede has 100 legs and has a
foot on each leg. It is a good
thing they do not wear socks, for
if they did Old Ma Centi would
have a helluva time keeping all
of them darned up. Spiders have
eight feet apiece, and in jumping
hits on all eight. A fly can stand
on four of its feet and still have
two to rub to smear off its nose.
Crawfish can pinch like hellen-
blazes with their front feet and
run backwards with the others.
When in the water, they flip with
Good Christmas Lesson
for Bennie, the Thief
DENNIE chuckled, slipping
D through the dark with the
stolen jewelry. Suddenly he drew
back close against the wall. Some
one had entered the next room.
“Grandmother, do you really be-
lieve in prayers?”—it was a girl’s
voice.
“Certainly, dearie. We prayed
that we might hear from George
on Christmas day, you know, and
the day isn’t quite over.”
“But—”
“Listen, dearie, I’ll tell you about
a prayer I had answered once . . .”
Bennie’s lips curled. Nobody be-
lieved in that stuff any more. If
there was really a being that knew
things, Bennie wouldn’t steal. He’d
be afraid. The story told by the
sincere older voice made Bennie
nervous. She seemed to mean it!
“Grandma, Christmas day will be
over in half an hour—”
“In a half hour many things can
happen.”
Minutes passed. Bennie heard
whispered prayers. Finally he
grinned in relief. A minute to
twelve!
Then, a sound at the door and
two women cried happily, “George I"
In awe Bennie slipped away, but
he left the jewelry.—Clara Agee
