BOSH AND BULSH Scraps From The Note-Book Of Edward Kelly
Edited By Eddie
The response to Mr. Edward Kelly's appeal for contributions to his bi-weekly "Berops from My Note-book". published in this column on Tuesdays and Thurn- days, was positively amazing. Excluding the two outside contri butions publishing to-day, Mr.
received six threatening letters from well-known business houses, tine accounts, one letter from the Editor of the Telegraph telling him that his application for n rise had been turned down, and a message from the girl friend, saying she was going out with Pele to-night.

VENETIAN BEAUTY SACHETS, make it possible to remove blackheads easily without the fear of leaving a permanent open pore to mar the skin. Next close the pores with VENETIAN PORE CREAM, it is a greaseless astringent cream which contracts the distended pores, corrects their taxness and refines the coarsest skin.
For Pimples and Spots, VENETIAN HEALING CREAM should be lightly applied over the affected spots, as soon as they appear. For those who prefer a lotion VENETIAN ACNÉ LOTION is excellent, it can also be used as a powder base over the affected' skin.
