How the Prelty
In these days of paint and powder, eye-brow-penclllnc
and n multitude of artifi
cial "aids" to beauty, It In renlly hard to
tell whether a girl Is pretty or otherwise,
and almost Impossible to discover the
natural beauty underneath the nrllndftl.
That this should bo so Is a real pity.
"Pnlntlnff tlio Illy" does not ndd to tho
beauty of the flower, as so ninny foolish
damsels fondly Imagine, Upon tho con
trary, It only takes away Its beauty and
Its freshness. Dut you simply could not
convince tho devotee of paint nnd powder
of that -wholesome fact. No, Indeed 1
Little Miss Modernity -would only laugh
At you.
"A. thing of beauty Is n Joy forever,"
goes the old saying. Tes, this Is true, but
with reservations! If tho beauty Is
natural and fresh, then tho old saying Is
delightfully true. But It scarcely npplles
to the artificial.
The girl who Is genuinely pretty has
much to be thankful for although It will
bring her many small trials nnd vexa
tions, too. For tho people who fondly
Imagine that beauty in woman Is tho
only thing that really matters are labor
ing under a sad delusion.
An exceedingly pretty girl was bewail
ing 'fier fate only tho other day: "Tho
men I meet don't seem to care two pins
whether I am clever or Interesting or
Intelligent," said sho dolefully, "They
only want to tell mo how pretty I ami
I Would infinitely rather be thought
amusing, or witty, or a fine conver
sationalist than just be classed us a sweet
little dolU And I am classed as a sweet
little doll, that Is tho tragedy of It! Yes,
I am convinced that the averago man
likes a. Woman to bo a fooll Ho doesn't
want brains in 'a woman, not he! That
would be usurping his lordly prerogative!
Oh yes, I have lota of so-called admirers.
At first I was pleased, and took their
adulation as a compliment. But now I
value it at its true worth! For It's only
transient admiration for what they arc
pleased to call my beauty! It doesn't in
clude admiration for anything else
neither my disposition, nor my mentality,
nor my powers of conversation."
1 noticed a very homely-looking girl
eagerly drinking in every word tho pretty
arlrl poutlngly uttered. There was an ex
pression of inten.ic, hungry wistfulness
on the face of tho homely girl. I knew
that she was envying her attractive com
panion to tho very depths of her soul.
Granting that the words of the pretty girl
were decidedly exaggerated, what would
the homely girl not have given for that
half-loaf of admiration which Is better
than no bread at all! For tho homely
girl In this particular Instance had neither
brains, nor beauty, nor a particularly fine
disposition to recommend her.
The girl who declares that men only
care for mere outward beauty In woman
has surely somo lack within herself. For
If such haa been her experience the fault
must be largely her own. She can have
had little to offer theso men beyond tho
charm of her beauty.
"But men don't want anything else,"
he will declare. "Men want a girl to
be merely a pretty little mindless fooll"
Tes, the foolish, vacuous, empty men
want this but never, never do tho best,
the worth-whllo men want anything of
this sort, To attract the "worth-while"
man a girl must have sterling qualities
to recommend her. Beauty la hot es
sential, although It is a valuable asset.
But only an asset, remember that! It
must be backed by an intelligent, inter
esting mind, a sweet personality and a
kindly disposition.
One haa only to Blanco through the
annals of history to see that many of
tho plainest women Imaginable have been
tho objects of the deepest love and most

CHAPTER XXXI.
When he hod finished writing he packed
his leather trunk, paid his bill, and took
his departure. An hour later he was In
the train from Paris, and he Intended to
go on from Paris to England.
"I must find out all about this William
Merlet," ho thought. "lord Wlmberley
has promised to say nothing of him to
any of the English detectives."
He leant back In the corner of his car
riage and had pleasant visions of 10,000.
It was a large sum In Spain almost a
big fortune. Thero would be plenty left
for a little honest enjoyment when the
castle had been restored and new dresses
J purchased for his five sisters. Ho liked
to think of the new dresses. It was pos
sible that they might help the wearers
of them to find husbands.
Autumn passed into winter so quickly
that year In England that one week
It was warm and sunny enough for
John Erlelgh to row his wife up the
river and have tea -out of doors, and the
next week saw snow on the ground and
a hard frost that promised skating.
On the day term ended, however, It was
damp and chilly, and the fog lay over the
land like a yellow pall. Jcmn Erlelgh.
sitting at the table In his study, could
hardly see the towering mass of the ab
bey through the curtain of mist, A
leafless tree, close . to the window,
stretched out long block arms and fin
gers that dripped! with moisture- The
fire In the grate was dull and lifeless,
and a haze of smoke hung across the
room.
It was very quiet The school buildings
and quadrangle were like a body from
whlc'n life has departed. The last of the
boys had gone, waving his cap gleefully
out of the window of an ancient cab.
There seemed to be no sound anywljere
In the schoo)house, though the servants
must have been about as usual. Even
the clock had stopped. For some reason
or other John Erlelgh had forgotten to
wind it up on Its appointed day. Buch a
filing had never happened before since
he had been at the school, put his mind
was so engrossed with other matters that
he did not notice it until he turned in his
chair to see the time.
"I'm going to pieces," he muttered, ris
ing to Ids feet and taking out the key
from a china vase. He wound up the
clock and set It by hi watch. Then he
seated himself in ills chair assln, Hla
face wss pale and haggard. That stop-,
plug of the clock seemed to be an evil
qroen. It was as though soratlthlng had

brain, as though he himself had run down

eyes was the look of a man who Is wait
ing and uniting for something to hap
pen that will mean tho ond of nil his
happiness. That was.ln fact, exactly
how matters stood.
His wlfo and Joan had been In London
since tho previous night had gone there
on such prosaic business as seeing the
dentist. Vertlgan had left Harptree that
morning and had announced his intention
of seeing Lady Wlmberley before sho re
turned to Harptree. Vertlgan had drained
John Erlelgh dry. The headmaster, forc
ing matters to a crisis, had refused to
borrow nny more money from his wife.
So Vertlgan had laughed and said that It
was easier and simpler to go to tho
source of tho stream.
John Erlelgh had let him go Weeks
before he had come to this decision that
If Vertlgan nsked for uny more money he
would not give It to tho man. Hla decision
had been arrived at suddenly na ho had
caught a curious expression of pain and
fear In his wife's eyes when ho had askod
her for the last thousand pounds. It was
better for her to know the truth than to
look at him like that out of tho anguish
of her soul. Besides, ho felt that ho was
breaking to pieces under tho strain. He
ought to have told the woman he loved
before, ho married her. It was late now
but perhaps not too late. She might have
Pity on him: she might be able to under
stand. On the other hand, tho confession
It amounted to that though It did not
come from his own lips might mean the
end of all happiness.
And now ho was waiting with fear In
his eyes for his wife to return. Tho train
was duo at Harptree at a, quarter to four,
Anne had announced her intention of
returning by that train.
Tho clock struck the half-hour half
past three and after that tho minutes
dragged even more wearily. J ohn Erlelgh
could not concentrate his mind on any
thing. For more than an hour a half
written letter had Iain before him a
letter Of no Imnnrtnnr-o ennh na ..
could write without effort. But John
Erlelgh could not finish It. When he was
not looking at tho clock his eyes were
fixed on the window, where the yellow
light was changing to a dull gray. Tho
abbey disappeared altogether and then
the giant arms and fingers of the tree.
And then It grew so dark that ho could
not see the face of the clock. The ticking
of It seemed very loud ond very slow.
Then the great abbey clock chimed out
t..0Ck f Jld the wnole room seemed to
vibrate. After that thero was Bllence for
a rew minutes, and then the purr of a
motor and the crunching of wheels on the
FyS. A,TiVl. 3oim Elelsh shuddered
and blinked his eyes like a man awaken
Ing from sleep. Ho heard the distinct
tinkle of a bell, and then the opening and
closing of the hail doors, and the sound
of footsteps and voices In the hall.
John Erleigh rose to his feet, walked to
the door and then returned to his seat at
the table. It was Impossible to go out
Into the hall and greet his wife just as if
nothing had happened. He would wait
until she came to him. She should And
him there, hiding his shame In the dark
ness, Tho sound of voices died away, and
again there was silence. Perhaps Vertl
gan had not struck the blow after all. Or
perhaps the servants liad told his wife
that he was out. He had not rung the
bell jfor tea; he had gone out at 2 o'clock
and no one had seen him return. At any
rate there would be a respite for a few
hours, perhaps for a few days. He
breathed more freely.
Five minutes passed and then he heard
his wife ask a servant where he was. X
few moments later the door opened and
she entered the room.
"Are you here, Jack!" she queried, as
she peered Into the darkness.
"Yes. dear," he answered, rising to his
feet "I am here."
She did not ask him why he had npt
come out Into the hall to greet her, or
why he was sitting- in the dark. She
closed the door and made her way across
tho room to the red glow of the. fire.
Stooping, she broke up some pf the coal
With the poker, and there was the flieksr
of . few feeble flames. The light showed
her face, but not very clearly.
"I'm afraid you've bad a wretched Jour
ney," said Erlelgh. nervously. Hla wife
did not reply, and then he knew, fof cer
tain, that Vertijaa had carried out hla
throat. He walked slowly toward tho
fireplace. His wlfo was standing motion
less, looking down at tho flickering
flames. Ono of her hands was resting on
tho mantelpiece.
"The fog has nearly put tho flro out,"
ha said.
Sho looked at him with dull, weary eyes,
opened her lips as If to speak nnd then
stared down at tho flro again.
"It Is no uso my pretending that I don't
know," he said abruptly and almost
fiercely. "Vortlgan hns told you. Ho
threatened to tell you if I did not come
to you for moro money. That could not
go on I have been a coward long enough
I wished him to tell you I would have
told you myself If you had not been in
London."
"Then It Is truo?" sho said me
chanically. "I do not know what he told you, but I
expect It was tho truth. Thero waa no
need for him to He. Tho truth was evil
enough Anne, I If I had thought that
this was likely to happen I would havo
told you before I asked you to marry
me. But I lived In a fool's paradise. Ver
tlgan had never asked me for money until
that day when he came down Into Devon
shire. It did not occur to me that he
would ever ask for It I must have been
mad."
For nearly a minute thero was silence.
Then she looked nt him again.
"What Is to happen now?" she said
slowly.
"I do not know, Anne. I will not ask
you to pay tho money. Perhaps, on the
whole, It would be better to make a firm
stand now once and for all let the man
do his worst"
"I was not thinking of the money," Bhe
continued in the same dull, even voice.
"The money shall be paid all my money
If It Is necessary. I was thinking of our
selves." "You you mean," he stammered.
"Anne you must, not decide anything
until I have told you the story. Perhaps
It will sound different whenltell It to you.
Anne, dear, for pity sake, do not decide
anything yet sit down and listen to what
I have to say I will not plead with you
do anything to warp your Judgment.
You shall hear tho plain facts."
She seated herself In a chair by the
wretched flro and shivered as If she were
cold. Erlelgh remained standing. It was
easier for him to talk thus than If they
had sat face to face.

Some Pretty
As far ns millinery goes, I think that
this forcing of tho seasons la absurd!
Hero wo are with t'no iciest of Icy winds
blowing, and everything ns cold and ns
wintry aa possible, yet if you nron'
wearing a straw hat you are "out of
style."
Yes, It Is nbsurd. Why, tho beginning
of last September, when tho weather
was so hot and ono longed for coolness,
all tha straw hats suddonly vanished,
and women everywhere appeared with
heavy millinery of black velvet or some
thing similar.
Well do I' remember setting forth on a
broiling hot morning under ono of those
closo-flttlng velvet "rtinpeaux," I had
a tremendous amount of shopping to do
and I don't know when I felt moro
heated.
Now hero corns all tho spring hats,
and wo simply must havo one, unless wo
wish to bo entirely demodee and that
would nover do, would It?
I must confess that I started out with
two friends of mlno this morning In a
far from cheerful framo of mind. For
I didn't want to buy a. straw hat, yet
as they were going to make millinery
purchases I didn't want to bo left out
of tho fun.
However, when wo reached tho millinery
place to which my two friends pin tholr
fnlth, a sudden change camo o'er the
Kid's Chronicle
I ROTE a porno nbout babys today, bce
Ing this:
BABYS
A baby Is a bald heded persln
Wlcli Bpeeks In forrln sounds,
It orawls erround like Bum kind of a bug
And nevvlr Iccps or bounds.
No man was evvlr a llttel gerl
And no lady was evvlr a boy,
But both of them wen they began,
Was wWts n baby, O Joy.
Thoy sleep awl day and cry awl nlte
And raw milk Is awl they eet,
And wonowlr they wunt nmuBemlnt,
They start to play with tharo feat.
Its quite a trubbll to havo a baby erround
And Its fearso to have 5 or 6,
Bckause they wawk like dawgs awn tharo
hands nnd feat
But you cant teetch them how to do
tricks.
Its awl rlto to like yuro nnybors dawg,
Or even tharo cat, maybe,
But noboddy Is espeshlliy fond
Of enyboddy cltses baby.
O a Chlnermans baby Is yello
And a savldges baby Is black,
But no mattlr wat langwldge you tawk
to them In,
Baby tawk is awl they tawk back.
Its grata to see a baby laff,
And its fearso to see wun cry.
But weathlr they cry or weathlr they laff,
Thares nevvlr eny reason why.
O awlways be kind to babys
And treet them tenderly,
Bekause no mattlr how funny they look,
Thnts how you ust to be.
Hints for the Spring Toilette
The early spring styles are making
their appearance and the straw hat is
not at all unusual on the street Here
are a few advance notes on the edicts of
fashion:
Most of the new shoes have Btraps over
the Instep. These are cool and comfort
able for warm days, and rich headings
and embroidery on the straps add a touch
of splendor.
All kinds of boleros are coming in
again.
The old-fashioned and highly artlstlo
ostrlcn feather fan has made Its appear
ance. Dance frocks are made of sheerest
organdie.
The early Btraw hats are made with a
trimming' of satin and resemble military
turbans.
Buckles will be worn on all slippers,
even those for street wear, and the high
boot made of brown or bronze leather,
will remain In favor.
Make your wide skirt short a narrow
one Is out of the question.
White petticoats have deep, full rurfles
of soft lace.
The newest gloves are trimmed with all
kinds of gaudy stltchlngs. If you can
wear brown, do so by all means; this
promises to be a brown season.
The Gift
From friend to friend, the choicest gift
That ever love can give.
Is that which comes the heart to lift,
Or helps the bouI to live.
Of all fair bounties ever sought,
Of gems or Jewels rare.
What treasure like a lovely thought,
Or love's far-reaching prayer.
