HOW TO
BE POPULAR
ELLEN
rm&Okn.
The Woman Whom Everybody Likes
Ths desire to bo popular U an Instinct
deeply rooted In the heart of the average
woman. Of course, there are exceptions
to tho rule. A certain type of foolish
woman considers It rather an honor to be
disliked by her own sex. She considers
that such dislike Is founded on Jealousy,
and that Jealousy on the part of othet
women towards herself Is the highest trib
ute to her own powers of fascination and
general charm. Her ambition Is to gain
ureat popularity with the men and let
the women hate her as much as possible.
This is exceedingly foolish and Ill-advised)
as sooner or later she will find out.
For no woman can afford to do without
tho friendship of her own sex. Social
neglect will follow, and sho will And too
late that partisanship with other women
Is Indispensable to a certain measuro of
social success.
The woman who wishes to bo truly pop
ular wilt wisely determine to make her
self liked by both men and women. It
Isn't so hard to make oncaelf liked If.only
tho right way Is taken. And It is so glo
riously worth while, too. For popularity
brings a glbw of satisfaction with It that
la very delightful and pleasing. I refer
to the real popularity and not to Us tran
sient and shallow counterfeit. Tho liking
and the friendship created must bo
founded on a rock, or It will not be of
long duration.
The basic quality on which popularity
Id built Is kindliness towards the feelings
of others.
The woman who has a very kindly heart
and a ready sympathy for everybody with
whom she comes In contact has solved the
hardest part of the problem of popularity,
and Indeed has tho root of the matter
In her. For klndners and sympathy are
essentials to popularity.
"Assumo a vlrtuo If you havo It not,"
goes tho old saying. But such assump
tion deceives nobody. Trio outward and
visible signs of a sympathetic disposition
can be assumed, but unless the ri)al feel
ing is behind them, people will soon de
tect the lack, no matter how gushing and
how generous the popularity-seeker may
be. And so the woman who aspires to
popularity must endeavor to make tho
virtue of sympathy a real part of her
nelf. She must literally 'xeel sorry for
the sufferings of others, and what is
sometimes, harder, she must rejoice with
their Joys.
Her reward will come to her, not only
In the liking of everybody with whom
sho comes In contact, but in a new
MISS KATZEN STEIN At HOME
You would never think that a little
woman who could present tho cause of
suffrage with such telling emphasis in
jiubllo would be bo demure and domestic
nt home. Miss Caroline Katzenstein, pri
vate secretary of the Equal Franchise
Zeague is the living proof of the state
meant that a suffragist can be ardent for
the cause and still be an exponent of the
domestic virtues.
"One of my hobbles is plain sewing,"
he said, as she took up, her work; "you
know I used to teach' sewing at , the
Southwark Neighborhood House. I started
to do settlement work when I first came
to Philadelphia. I am a believer In re
form in dress, anyhow."
"Do you advocate the ldea.of a uniform
dress for women, or anything like that?"
"Oh, no. I advocate simplicity of lines
and beauty of materials, that's all. I
think women waste a great deal of money
and time following extreme styles, which
only make them look ridiculous in the
end. Besides, I don't see any reason why
wa should change our styles every montl
or so. If I buy a gown which I consider
pretty In January, why Bhould I bt
ashamed to wear It in a couple of month;
from now? And, yet. most women an
ashamed to wear a dress which was be
coming Just a short time before. Now,
mind, I'm not aspiring to adopt trousers,
or anything of the kind. People always
associate such ideas with suffragists."
"How do you take your recreation after
office hours are you a 'movie' fiend?"
"No, I'"n a physical culture fiend," she
answered, laughingly, "I put In three
nights a week with a class where we do
everything you can imagine. I was al
ways Interested In this, and had a regu
lar little gymnasium In my home in South
Carolina. There I used to exercise an
hour every morning before breakfast"
"What do you do at your class in the
evenings?"
"Almost anything, "We play soccer,
hurdle, swing Indian clubs, use dumb
bells, climb ropes, and do floor and tra
peze work, for some of the things. And
that isn't all, by any means."
"How did you like settlement work?"
"I loved It. I taught a class of 'little
mothers in the settlement it was sup
posed to be for an hour In the after
noon, but it usually lasted until evening.
I have had plenty of experience as a
teacher. I taught Sunday school for the
Ethical society, too. No, this Isn't how
I got interested In suffrage work. The
truth Is, I never remember the time when
I became a convert to suffrage. Aa long
M I can remember I believed In It.

broadened outlook nnd interest In llfo.
For the popular woman hoe learned to
study human nature In its varying
phases, than which there Is no more
Interesting hobby under tho sun.
Tho "superior" woman and the bnse
woman wilt never be popular. It Is small
recommendation to go about the world
with one's nose In the air, and one's el
bows out sharply, ready to Jostle tho
feelings of others at ovcry turn. An as
sumption of Indifference to the things
about you la not an indication of Intel
ligence. Upon the contrary, Intelligent
people are thoso who ore wldo-awnke,
enthusiastic and eager for life. They
are Interested in everything, down to tho
tittle trifles and happenings of dally llfo.
To take a lively Interest In people nnd
their affairs does not by any means Imply
a gossiping or a prylns disposition. The
gossip Is the person who unearths skele
tons from the cupboalu for tho solo pur
poso of parading them around tho neigh
borhood. But tho popular person gains
her popularity by novor repeating un
unkind or uncharitable story. Sho Is u
model of discretion.
The very busy woman has a harder
time to gain popularity than the woman
of leisure For popularity literally takes
time. Ono muet listen patiently to others
without cutting them short or interrupt
ing, and one must show no boredom
whatever.
It Is easier in ono senso for a woman
to gain popularity with men than with
other women. Less qualifications are re
quired, "fhe pretty woman who has an
outwardly attractive appearance and n
pleasing manner will acqulro popularity
with men easily. But to be popular with
other women she must call moro qual
ities, more forces, more energies Into
play. AVomen are Infinitely moro critical
of women than aro men. We all ad
mit that. But the woman who wishes
to be truly popular, a term which implies
tho liking and the commendation of other '
women, must be sympathetic, kindly,
charitable, intelligent enough to bo amus
ing and interesting, and must not be a
mischief maker. Sho must be genuinely
Interested In all their little affairs, and
must be considerate of their feelings.
Above all, she must not flaunt her mas
culine conquests in their faces.
The art of popularity can be culti
vated, nnd for every woman under tho
eun it Is worth while, for It brings a
senso of peace and harmony into one's
life, and to know that ono 1b truly liked
by one's neighbors makes this old world
turn merrily nnd brightly.
MISS CAROLINE KATZENSTEIN
will tend toward lessening household
labor for women. I mean such Inven
tions as the vacuum cleaner, the electrto
Iron, washtub and all those things. The
reason I am Interested in these things Is
because I think they remove the obstacles
to progress and allow women more time
for Intellectual pursuits. Now, I wouldn't
do away with the home cooking and the
pies that mother used to make for any
thing. But I think that there are a great
many purely mechanical Jobs which can
be done Just' aa well, and better, by me
chanical means.
"However, I think the home will al
ways be sacred and personal, and I
wouldn't have It interfered with for anything."

CHAPTER XXIII (Continued)
For a few moments there was silence.
Then Russell sold: "I suppose, .Murray,
there can be no Inquest over here?"
"No, the matter Is entirely out of our
hands. Tho Spanish authorities alone
have the power to deal with the matter."
"That is a a pity," Bald Lord Arthur.
"Well, my lord, the cause of death was
simple enough."
"Yes but the affair leading up to It
the kidnapping of my nophow. That re
quires investigation; that must be sifted
to the bottom."
"Mr. Richard Merlet Is dead, my lord."
"Yes, but others are under suspicion,
Mr, Vertigan, for Instance."
Mr. Murray stroked his chin thought
fully. "It seems pretty certain, my lord," he
said after a pause, "that Doctor Ander
son and his accomplice were the people
who took Lord Wlmberley from Harptree,
and that the Merlet-ang you'll pardon
me using your honorable name In such a
connection attacked the Anderson lot and
took the boy away from them. Still,
whatever tho wording of the advertise
ment, I take it, my lord, that there will
be no difficulty made about the payment
of the money,"
"Ten thousand pounds," said Lord
Arthur In a hard, oven voice "for evi
dence that will bring one of the criminals
to Justice, and if there are two, twenty
thousand pounds, and if there are three,
thirty thousand pounds. I would not have
ono of them escape not one."
"And you will go out to Spain tonight,
my lord?" r
"Yes, and I should like you to como
with me."
Very well, my lord, I will come with
' ' t
AN AFTERNOON FROCK
'
you. Tho hunt will have to start
from there. Wo shall have to work back
ward." "I shall be ready to leave here In a fow
minutes, Mr. Murray. Wo can all motor
down to Harptreo together. Now about
these" and ho glanced at the articles on
tho tablo.
"I will leave his young lordship's things
here," said Mr. Murray; "tho others I will
tako back with me."
Lord Arthur left the room and the de
tective replaced Dick Merlot's belongings
In tho brown bag.
"Bears it pretty well, doesn't he?" eaid
Russell,
"Yes, but he's that sort. Hard as
nails."
"Any chanco of earning tho reward, do
you think?"
"Oh, yes."
"But not for us, oh?"
"You havo as good a chance aa any one
else. You can work frorri this end.
You're on the spot," '
"Wouldn't like to make on arrangement
to divide whatever happens?"
"I might we'll talk It over when I come
back from Spain."
"Do you think Vertigan Is in It7"
"Can't say."
Ten minutes later Lord Arthur re
entered tho room. "I'm ready," ho said,
"if you are."
They took their scats in tho motorcar
and the footman placed two trunks on tho
roof. Then tho car gilded nway into tho
flRfkrinss
"If this motorcar could only speak,"
said Mr. Murray, "It co-.ild tell us a
story."
"YeB, indeed," said Russell. "Upon my
word, with so many clues there ought to
be no difficulty."
Lord Arthur leaned forward and began
to rend some papers ho had taken from
his pocket The car was brilliantly lighted
and had a small table on which he rested
him arms.
"One thing we havo to be thankful for,
my lord," said Russell after a pause, "and
that is tho death of this scoundrel. If he'd
lived he'd havo had a try at your lord
ship." Lord Arthur looked at tho spenker cold
ly and then resumed tho.rco.dlng of tho
papers." A moment later there was a sharp
crack ns though some one had struck the
window with a small pebble, Murray
mado a quick movement of his hand, and
tho interior of the car was In darkness.
"What's tho matter?" queried Lord Ar
thur sharply. "What are you doing, Mr.
Murray? Turn on the light again."
"Not Just yet, my lord If you don't
mind. We don't want another bullet
through the window."
"Bullet?" queried Russell and Lord Ar
thur together.
"Yes clean through both windows
high velocity never broke either of them
Just a hole In each pane of glass It
must have been meant for you, my lord
odd wo should Just havo been saying that
you were out of danger."
"Why don't you stop the enr?" said
Lord Arthur angrily, and he groped in
tho darkness for the speaking tube.
"Not Just yet, my lord, If you don't
mind. AVe can't do anything. That was a
bullet from a rifle, and we don't want
another. It might find ita mark. We'll
run straight on down into Harptree."
"You must be mad. Do you mean to
say we're to take no notice Just go on as
If nothing had happened?"
"That's what I do mean, my lord. The
fellow doubtless relied on our stopping.
Then he could have got a clear shot at
you. Besides, there is no time to be lost,"
"The train doesn't matter. Look here,
Mr, Murray, do you intend to let thlu
scoundrel escape?"
"Wo can't find him In the dark, my
lord, and as likely as not he'd shoot us if
we did, The ono important thing Is tu
get down to Harptree as 'quickly as
possible,"
"Vertigan?" queried Buesell,
"Yes that's It. If he's out of his room.

"But Vertigan?" Bald Lord Arthur dry
ly. "Why should Vertigan Mr. Murray,
I don't think you qulto understand what
this means."
"It means a good deal, my lord, that
we don't understand."
"That my cousin Dick Merlet is still
alivo?"
"Oh, I don't think that, my lord."
"Well, who else?"
"I do not know, my lord as yet."
"You think Vertigan does not know
that Dick Merlet Is dead, and they ar
ranged tills between them beforo Dick
Merlet left England."
"Mr. Vertigan does not know, my lord.
Hd was In tho headmaster's house when
Russell went thero with tho news."
"Well, It's a rum Job don't you think
wo might havo the light?"
Tho detective switched on tho electric
light again nnd Lord Arthur examined the
holes In tho windows. Tho glass had
Btarrcd slightly round them, but the holes
woro as clean as if thoy hod been cut In a
slico of cheese.
"Ono of thoso now rifles," he said
"very high velocity. I've got a rifle my
self ihat'd mako a hole Just llko that"
"Where do you keep It, my lord?"
queried tho detective.
"Oh, In my rooms In town. I should
say tho fellow who fired that Bhot had
somo idea of shooting. Wo .were going
thirty miles an hour, and ho must have
been somo way on, for I heard no report."
"Accident, do you think, my lord?"
queried tho Inspector.
"H'm, hardly. Folk don't go about fir
ing oft rifles at this tlmo of night I wish
you'd let mo stop tho car, Mr. Murray. I
don't see how wo are to get any clues
now," ,
"I know tho place," said Murray rather
curtly. "I could toll you to within a yard
or two where wo were when tho bullet
struck the window."
"I don't even know which side It was
fired from," said tho inspector.
Lord Arthur examined tho two holes,
"It was fired from our left," he said
"from tho direction of tho river."
"Yes," said Mr. Murray. "I know that
Tho hole on tho right Is slightly nearer
tho top of tho window. Tho ground slopes
down to the left Is that how you. argued
It, my lord?"
"No." said Lord Arthur rather con
temptuously. "I ought to know by this
tlmo on which sldo a bullet strikes an ob
ject Now, where Bhall I tell tho man to
drive to?"
"The Echoolhouse," said Russell.
"No," said Murray sharply. "Vertl
ganN lodgings first and then tho school
house 20 Moon street,"
Lord Arthur put his mouth to the
speaking tubo and gave the chauffeur the
address. A fow minutes later tho car
drew up outside the house.
"Who's to go in," queried Lord Ar
thur, "and what excuse Is to b? made
for calling at this hour?"
"You can leave that to me, my lord,"
said the detective, with a smile. He
picked up his bag, alighted from the car
ar.d knocked at the door of the house. It
was opened by an elderly woman In
black,
"Mr. Vertigan In?" queried Murray,
"Yes, sir; what name shall I say?"
The detective gave the woman his card
and a minute later was shown upstairs
to a room on the first floor, Vertigan
was lying on a sofa in front of the Are.
Ho showed no surprise as Murray en
tered the room, but rose to his feet with
some difficulty,
"Sorry to trouble you eo late as this,
sir," said the detective, "but I under
stand that you knew tho lato Richard
Meret"
"Yes, certainly, I know he's dead.
Well, he's no loss. Sit down, won't you?
I'll He on the sofa. If you'll excuse me.
I've been rather seedy all day,"

Afternoon Gowns
I have been' spending such a quiet tlmo
lately, refusing all Invitations and every
thing nlco, for I havo had grip and
havo been In bed for quite a while.
Realty, grip la a most depressing ot
of tiling. It makes one feel a hundred
years old and utterly tired of llfo.
"Dorothy, you really must brlghton up
n bit," said mamma in her brisk, fresh-alr-and-cold-breezes
sort of way. "You
aro tho most depressed thing Ivo seen In
a long while."
"I can't help It," I said. "drip takes
alt tho ambition nnd tho Interest out of
llfo."
That very afternoon I had a delightful
surprise. Quito a number of my gifl
friends camo trooping In to boo mo, laden
with flowers and candy nnd all sorts of
things. It waB a regular surprise party.
They stayed all afternoon, and wo had
such a glorious talk. So many things-had
happened since tho grip had gripped
me, and I did lovo hoaxing all tho nows.
Two of tho girls woro heavy fur coats,

prettiest looking things. Tho first ono I
must mention was Alloc Smith's. It was

now. But It suited Alice to perfection.

you could Identify somo of thom."
Ho opened tho bag and spread tho
things out on tho table. Vertigan exam
ined them ono by ono.
"No, I can't say I do recognize any of
them. But then It's hardly llkoly I
should. Is thero any doubt about Mr.
Merlet's being dead?"
"Not very much, sir; but we llko to
make doubly sure."
Ho put tho things back in the bag.
"I suppose," said Vertigan as he
watched him, "tho bruto murdered tho
boy."
"Oh, no, sir. They were both wrecked
In a storm, nnd drowned, a terrible busi

"Yes, mr. vertigan, yes. Well, I'm
sorry to havo troubled you. "Good-night"
"Good-night," said Vertigan. "You'll
excuso my accompanying you to the door.
But I'vo got a chill, I think."
Mr. Murray made' his way downstairs,
and saw tho landlady through tho open
door of tho dining room. Ho walked In.
"When did Mr. Vertigan como In?" he
said.
"About 6 o'clock, Blr. He had to go out
to one of his chemistry classes at 8, but
ho was not well enough."
"Thank you," said Murray. "Good

CHILDREN'S CORNER
Careless
o
,N a bright sunny day in lato autumn,
two gray beetles met In a back yard
garden.
"Good afternoon, my friend," said the
greenest beetle; "do you think it is time
for winter7"
Mr. Yellow Beetle laughed. "I should
say I do think It Is time!" he replied.
"Surely you are not so stupid that you
let this fine warm weather fool you I I
thought better of you than that!"
("But I am having such a good time Just
fooling around," said tho green beetle,
"I don't like to take time to get ready
for something that's way off!"
"Oh, of course, do Just as you like," re
plied the yellow beetle carelessly, and
he went on about his own business.
For some tlmo the green beetle played
about as beforo, but he couldn't quite
forget what his friend had said. It
stayed In the back of his mind and he
kept thinking of It whether he wanted
to or not
"I really do believe," he Anally de
cided, "that I'll see about that winter
homo business tomorrow, I want to be
sure to And a nice warm hole some place
where It Is handy."
But before tomorrow cams Jack Frost
blew down from the cold north pole and
froze up all tho nice holes he nearly
froze up all the beetles, too, by the way
and poor Mr. Green Beetle was left cold
and hungry and homeless)
But whining was not considered elegant
In the beetle family, so he didn't sit down
and talk about what bad luck he had had
or anything llko that not hel He simply
crawled slowly around In search of soma
place to hide.
And as he crawled, ha made his way,
qulto unknowingly I must admit on to a
big rug that was out in the yard for an
airing.
How ho was overlooked when the rug
was carried inside, I couldn't tell you,
but he was overlooked Just the same.

tlful complexion, and the latest procesi
is that of "absorption." Thta is a proc
ess which Is used to restore flesh which
Is yellow or wrinkled. So often It hup.
pens that a woman has old skin on her
face, and tho now coat Is underneath it,
waiting for tho opportunity to appear.
This is tho tlmo when she makes use at
tho absorption system, recommended by
a well-known specialist
"To destroy the ugly layer of skin an
you havo to do Is to buy a small quan.
tlty of pure, asceptlc wax at tho drug
Btore," he says. "Apply thla a fow eve
nings as you do cold cream, and it will
absorb the wrinkled skln.and some of ths,'
wrinkles as well. This wax is a pure,
harmless substanco and gives astounding
results."
He Bays that a woman who clogs her .J
pores up with make-up Is only storing ub
ior nerscn a lurtner supply or mo wrin
kles sho Is trying vainly to hide. It will
bo worth moro in tho end to keep tho faca
clean and fresh, and nobody will tea
tne wrinkles.

Ab soon as tne rug was put down on th

in finding a warm, snug hole In the b'ae;i
"Now!" he exclaimed, as he settled hlnw
