"Not in the least, although we know

"Vane? Miriam Vane?" Barry

is, the artist who has created such 1
a stir with her new type of portrait-

"Yes. Her portraits are danger-
ously near caricatures, for some per-
verse impulse has seemed to guide her
brush although so subtly that her
clients themselves have rarely detect-
ed that sardonically revealing touch

Someone had indeed arrived. They

listening attentively, nodded and

Nowadays, people take Aspirin for

often as they encounter any pain.
Why not? It is a proven anti-

And Aspirin tablets are abso-

medical profession's word for that;
they do not depress the heart.
So, don't let a cold "run itg

ache to "wear off.", Or regard
neuralgia, neuritis, or even rheum-,
atism as something you must en-
dure. Only a physician can cope
with the cause of such pain, but
you can always turn to an. Aspirin
