I had visions, with Ullmann's broken window over the way, of an enterprising robber, but surely the great bronzo lioness which has been a feature of Komor's shop for so long, could not have been spirit ed away as his lovely ivory hand rest was some time ago,
*It wasn't stolen i "No sold," he paused and then the familiar smile came again over his face, I've done business, big business, the lioness, the elephant Jamp, the monkey with the treasure
chest, two urns, and several other bronze pieces, all sold."
"But," he went on, "they haven't left the Colony, they have been bought by a local collector.!"
The bronze lioness had had maay admirers. It was one of the best known pieces in Quinney's colles tion, and, to those of us who know and love his shop well, its sale will be as great a loss as it is to the late owner. Quinney has a tender corner in his heart for children and many little people have been allow ed a ride on the back of the big bronze beast.
The lioness stands three feet high and is nearly four feet in length. It was modelled by Sinnim, one of the foremost sculptors of Tokyo. who might perhaps bo called the Japanese Rodin for his forceful work and keen of observation of nature.

How To Use It With Soap, Flakos. Or Soap Jelly......
The most successful method is to use the bran water in its full strength. Add either soap flakes or Soap jelly to it. This makes a good
