HAPLSS  =  SPLASH,  ANGEGE  =  ENGAGE,  ISNIOV  =  VISION,  FORETF  =  EFFORT,  APOUTI  =  UTOPIA,  CCHEIT  =  HECTIC   —   Giving us:  SHENGSINFOTUIHIC

Clue/Question:  The massage would be over after some – – –

Pre-Answer:  Two Words  (9-letters)  (7-letters)

Answer:  FINISHING TOUCHES

(I started off looking for something FINGERS, before realizing there was no R!  But, checking off some of those letters helped me see TOUCHES, and that gave me FINISHING! 

All old favorite clue words again today.  “Effort” spells out in alphabetical order.  All of the jumbles appear to be new!  The answer letter layout was another masterful jumble.  Very nicely cryptic.  The cartoon looks like most spas I’ve been to.  The little waterfall machine, and the jade or money plant.  The Mrs. and I will probably go for a nice foot massage this week.  They’re very relaxing.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
