A Smooth, White Skin That Defies Weather During the coming months of biting winds and intense cold, you who would keep your skins smooth', white and vel vety. should turn vour attention n - eolized wax. Nothing else will so ef fectively prevent or remove a chapped, roughened or discolored surface. By grad ually absorbing the weather-beaten cuticle, the complexion is kept in perfect condi tion, and even the beauty of expression ap pears more pronounced. If your skin be coarse, blotchy, pimply, freckled, sallow or over-red. why not shed it? One ounce of ordinary mercolired wax, to he had at any druggist’s, will completely transform the most unsightly complexion in a few days.

Y - / ?»_,-' The Broadway undertaker is on his way to become a millionaire. By O. O. M’INTYRE. A noted New Yorker recently left this world. The newspapers were filled with fulsome eulogies. They spoke of his many friends. And yet this man told me over a cup of coffee on a hotel roof garden about five years ago that he knew of but two friends he could count on if he hap pened to find himself in a desperate dilemma* "Only two," he said, "who would go the limit!" He was a man of pelasing personality, a sportsman and one who gave large sums to charity. He had led an honorable life and had given account of the millions en trusted to him by his father. And now that he has gone the newspapers speak of his countless friends. We are all friendly when death comes. But how are we in life? I am not trying to be cynical. I'd really like to know how many friends a man really has. I feel that I have many who are loyal and steadfast. Two Is an infinitesimal number com pared to the number I think I have. But have I? Where would they stand in a crisis? It has been an almost Invariable cry among those who suddenly came upon misfortune to say: "I didn't know how few friends I had until I needed them.'' I cannot believe this. Humanity certainly cannot be so per verse. Yet only recntly I was In a club when a man came in. He was once hailed by all. Poeple formerly liked to have him around but when he sat down this time there was a sort of clam like silence. He was plainly the worse for liquor but he is a gentle man. He lost bis Job through liquor—a big job too. And he has been hitting it up ever rlnce. In all that time, however, I nor no one else knew him to do a small or mean thing. His, worst enemy was himself, still we shrank from him. Ho sensed it and after a few moments withdrew. No one tried to stop him. I was just as guilty ns the rest and I went home feeling pretty much the cad. Here was a man who had been a friend of each of us and what were we doing to help him over a rough spot. His life is by no means ruined. He still has ability and he can still come back in his chosen work. That night I wrote him a letter. It cffered no apology, but asked If I night see him some time soon. There yas a courteous but dignified reply. Hs had felt the hurt that I sensed he 'elt. He was entirely too proud and te wanted no »^mpathy. Nor does he vant preaching. What he did want, I magine, was loyal friendship and I relieve I for one failed him. And for this I am ashamed Just as ve all should be ashamed when we la.ll to meet friendship's test. Friendship Is one of the heaven lent gifts. Very f«w of us appreciate t as we do. Sympathy is not friend ihtp. That Is deeper and more last ng. £ W»»W»WW«W*»M*»»»»W*WW ...y. . . ...... ^ *r' ~ ^ ( Children’s Coats j j Children’s Dresses j ^ l | y<>«'Choice Half Price j \ You, choke Half Price j i ^ _____ ^ ?. ^ } j jj jj jf jj jfTrrr rr rr r f f j r jf j j j«imnurtmtu j ^ I I CLEAR^JCE^SALES^If T \ I JL .ILL 1 fljy.' 4'ji&iJii'. .

He 1* one of many and yet I believe he measures up to the ideal friend as well as any man I know. And while I am about it I might men tioh his name. He is R. M. Brlnker hoff, the artist. To me he is a remarkable pereon because he is devoted to his friends. He worries about them. Their trou bles are his troubles. He is not one of these glad persons around spurting platitudes, He acts. He is the sort of friend that 1 know if I were in a poor house he would be there evc-ry week to call. And If the distance was too great to call he would write. None of his friends could make a mistake so big that he would not overlook it. His friendships are limited as per haps they should be and I imagine he dislikes as many people as the aver age man. But those he likes he gives wholeheartedly of his friendship. It is said that Pylades and Orestes, ancient Greeks, celebrated for their friendship, died long ago and left no successes. This Is not quite true, but I do believe friendship needs a stimu lus. We all should gain a new per spective of Its meaning. Straberrles from Florida are selling in a Fifth avenue fruit shop for $4 a box. There are SO to the box—S cents a berry. And there are just enough suckers to snap them up In a hurry. ' Karl Kitchen has found an under taker who Is becoming quite a figure on Broadway. He would have gone Into bankruptcy If it had not been for the flu epidemic a few years ago, but that calamity put hint on his feet. Now' the many deaths from bad liqor are making him a millionaire. And he is stepping out. - I A man who has been coming to New New York with his wife for 20 years says that on his first vis-t here he thought twin beds were an Insult. Later on he and his wife began occu pying separate rooms. Now they stop at separate hotels. Next thing, no doubt, will be separate lawyer*. It Is difficult to remain long about the New York harbor without mag nificent dreaming. Most of us are nomads at heart and our eouls float out with ships. A bench In Battery park and there come thoughts of the far away places—Cyprus and Crete, Smyrna, Iceland, Norway and where not. Dancing girls In Burmah. The jungles of the Ganges. The blue of tbe Mediterranean. And the bay of Naples. It Is no wonder the Batterv, park benches are always filled with I dreamers. No one Is Immune from the ramance of the seat. In Battery park you see the rich man, the scholar, the doctor and lawyer along with beggars, charcoal vendors, for tune tellers, flower sellers, bootblacks and sailors. And each Is touched by the odd magic. Harlem's lottery Is patronized chiefly by the darkies In the Black Belt. Many of them devote more than half of their earnings wooing the goddess of chance. And, strange to relate, a flock of reporters scouring the dis trict, failed to And one winner In the past 10 years. From a letter: "I write you from a tent in Arizona where I get my only thrill watching the Santa Fe trains rush by. I am a 'lunger' suddenly shifted from ths roaring torrents to the backwaters If Ilfs. My only com panion Is a dog. You used to s*e me In the supper clubs of New York. Once we chatted amicably from ad joining tables. Your articles appear in a California paper X receive and that is my only exceuse for writing The fact is I am lonely. It is a be numbing sort of loneliness, for I know that even though I make the grade I must remain here for years. The must tragic thing in life Is 10 be come a useless member of society. And still I find comfort in existence. I want to live. Why is that? I am not yet a philosopher, but I believe that eventually I am going to find happiness. Already I am beginning to enjoy the skies, the stars. Before this experience, skies were just where the rain romcs front. And when I thought of stars 1 thought of Billie Burke or Maude Adams. I am not ■really afraid of the Great Adventure, but I lind myself praying now anil then. How 1 wish I had gone to church. I hadn't been in one for 22 years except at a wedding." (Copyright, 1924.)
