ELIZABETH ARDEN has made guessing ages an impossibly difficult
game.
She has taught women to hold on to youth, not to hide theravages of age with cosmetics but to keep their skin young, firm and fresh by scientific
care.
There is now a special display of these preparations at Watson's in the new Elizabeth Arden salon, where a trained assistant will show you the correct use of these aids to Beauty.

It was when bicycles fint became popular that a mother, buying one for her daughter, took the salcaman into her confidences. "Perhaps I had better explain that I don't know a great deal about bicycles but there is one thing upon which I must insist. The machine must have punctured tyres."
We have travelled far in know ledge and experience since then. The babes lisp in mechanical num- hers, and a small son of the house asked his father to give him a wireless-haired terrier" for Christ- mas.
The Greatest of Inventors?
A Small Syndicate i
Speculators who may have been stirred by the story of the dis- covary of a sovereign inside sheep will be interested to learn that in Australia sheep's teeth sometimes acquire a conting of gold. Not so long ago a part-time worker in South Melbourne bought a sheep's head for 1d. After he had boiled it to make soup, he found that every tooth was covered with a yellow metal which, when the nitric acid test had been appli- ed by a jeweller, proved to be gold.
Unfortunately, the place of the sheep's origin could not be traced, but a small syndicate is still busily engaged at Smithfield buying up imported sheep's beads on the off chance of coming across some of the Melbourne sheep's relatives.
