Distr butors Chamberlin Johnson - Du Bose ^ And other “live” deale-s in Toilet Articles INSIST ON ODOR-O-NO-THERE'S NOTHING "JUST AS GOOD Nell Brinkley Says I KNOW lots of folks who won’t say it—that saddest word —“good-bye.” “Adieu,” they say, and “addio,” “fare well” and “so-long,” “auf Wiedersehen” and “aloha,” “until the next time'’ and “be good’’—but not “good bye.” Under the word “good-bye” the sun seems dim. Birds droop and do not sing. The heart beats slow and heavy and the temples ache and tighten. The blue sky films with gray. Every face that turns our way and passes on seems to hide tragedy. Everybody else in the world, seems like, is saying good-bye, too. And we watch them with tenderer eyes since we are bid ding some one farewell. After good-bye there is nothing to do, no place to go, no one to see. The world seems bigger and suddenly wiped bare of beauty. We are afraid! But EVERYBODY will say “HELLO!” They don’t go hunting round for another word, any other word, so they can sort of slide by the plain, potent English. Under the short, keen, gladdest word, the sun and the sky are gold and blue. If it rains, why then we suddenly like rain. Under our tight jackets the heart beats high and fast and bursting big. Every face that turns our way seems like it had good news and blinds us. If, maybe, a sad one lifts out of the glad ones, we forget it soon. Because we are saying “Hello.” And if there’s a bird singing anywhere we hear it. There is so much to do, so much to see, so many folks to like. The world seems suddenly like a rose and “full,” as sweet-tempered R. L. S. says, “of a number of things.” And we are not afraid. Do You Know— Advice to the Lovelorn The Crooked Billet—an Inn which still stands upon Tower Hill, as it has stood By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. for generations past—boasts Itself as the oldest wine and spirit house in Lon don. There is every reason to believe that the Inn dates from the time of Henry VIII.

There is a tradition that Oliver Cromwell once lived (or lodged) at the Crooked Billet. Clocks without hands or faces are now common in Switzerland.

PERHAPS HE IS SHY. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am working In a place of busi ness with a man of whom I think » great deal. Any time I write him to call to see me he appears to be quite delighted and calls, but never makes any effort to call unless I ask him. Don’t you think he should ask me if he can (ill PUZZLED. Such a request from him would show an interest in you which he now seems to lack. You say he al ways accepts and is delighted.

He promised me he w r ould in the spring. Kindly let me know if I shall give any decided answer. ANXIOUS. You are sixteen and can well af ford to wait.

I have been all this week traveling hither and thither through my diocese, and what book do you think has guided me? Come, now, it’s a book beginning with ‘B.’ ” “The Bible, sir,” cried a chorus of youthful voices. "Ah, no,” said the Bishop, with a twinkle in his eye. “It’s Bradshaw."
