In tile days of lone ngo it wns con
sidered a perfectly dreadful thing to
break an engagement, and tlio girl who
did so had a. sort of stigma attached to
her for tho rest of her (lays. Sho wns

male mortals, "a heartless Jilt," nnd the
other eligible young women In tho neigh

her by thdir respective mattimnB and

Trie result of all this gossip nnd ex
citement was that very few girls had
sufficient moral courage to face up tho
neighborhood, bravo criticism and break
off their unfortunate engagements when
they realised that thoy had bestowed
their affections wrongly, or worse still,
elsewhere! They would listlessly drng on

CHILDREN'S CORNER
A HUNT FOR THE SOUTH WIND
DO YOU remember the story of tlfe
fairy who started to find the south
wind? And how the sparrow and tho
lilac bush wrapped the fairy snug and
warm In wishes for spring?
Over many a mile that fairy traveled,
over rivers and oreeks and fields, till
he passed all trace of snow and eold
find the grass began to show green and
the, trees were full of leaves.
"Now, I must watch carefully," he said
to himself, "for surely I am Hearing the
land of the south wind's home "
He slipped off the big cloud he had
been traveling en. dawn. dawn, till he
jumped on the back of a tiny breeze.
"If you please, dear friend," he whis
pered to the little breeze, "can you tell
me where the south wind Uvea?"
The little breeze laughed musically, "I
gyes I eon." he replied. "I ought ti
know, for the south wind is my mother'"
"Your mother!" cried the fairy delight
edly, "then you are the very breeze I'm
looking for you can tell me all about the
couth wind!"
"Here, here!" murmurred the little
breeze, "not quite so fast. If you please'
I cannot tell you all about the south
wind nobody can' She hi a very quiet
and mysterious wind. Everybody loves
her, but nobody understands her or knows
What she Is likely to do!"
"I'd like that!" eoiajmed the fairy.
Tell roe where to find her!"
"Iter home U in the grove of palm

"tMt where she is bow, t cannot say "
The fairy thanked the breeze tor hie

Tho girl who continues In nn engage

engagement Into n loveless marriage Is
tho most Houl-kllllug thing a girl can do.
Sho mny buoy herself up with the
thought that sho Is Baeilllclng her own

Nothing cures love lnf a man quicker

THE DAILY STORY
Of the Twentieth Century
An Doctor Ulyth stood In the bait n
young girl stepped from nn ndjolnlng
room Inquiring anxiously: "How do you
f nd my father, Doctor Ulyth?"
"Ills condition li serious," ho admitted,
"but with good caro "
Sho cut short tho conventional plati
tudes. "When will he bo nblo to go out ngaln?"
"Not for weeks," emphatically.
Iter look of nnxlcty deepened.
"What Is your father's business, Miss
Hall?"
"llo Is malinger nf the local telephone
system, and attends personally to repair
ing nnd keeping up tho line."
"If possible, keep from jour fnther all
anxiety concerning tho business. 1 fear ,
nervous prostration In his case." i
During his round of calls Doctor Hlyth i
thought often of tho beautiful girl with
tho sweet, grnvo volco. Ho was a stranger
Iti I'lndscy, and was taking up his uncle's
practice.
"Fred Hall sick! That's too bad," was
his uncle's comment. "I3ut they'll man
ngo all right," with n count! y doctor's
knowledge of his patient's affairs. "Mrs
Hull Is strong nnd a good nurse. Fidelia
undci stands tho business thoroughly. Too
had sho Isn't n hoy. It wilt tako about
all the mnnnger's salary to hire a man
to come hero from tho city to do the out
sldo work."
Doctor Hlyth wns disappointed whan
sovernl calls were made upon tho sick
manager without seeing Fldollo. She was
constantly in his thoughts, nnd her love
ly face seemed nlwns beforo his eyes.
Uy chance, hl next cnll was In th
ovenlng, Fidelia met htm In the hall na
ho was leaving.
"Do you feol encouraged, Doctor myth'"
"1'et," kindly, "but his nervoui condi
tion Is terlous Is ho wonylng about the
business?"
"I think not," hopefully. "I hold his
position ns mnnngcr. and thnt encourages
him ho has all confidence In my ability."
"You nro a brac girl," cnthuilofltlcnlly.
"You hnvo somo ono for tho outside
work?"
Sho hesitated, coloring rosily.
"I I have the services of a very com
petent lineman."
"Where la your 'central'?"
"Here,' Indicating tho room ndjolnlng,
"1'vo alwnys been father's 'hello girl,'"
smiling brightly.
On tho following evening ho saw Fide
lia In her office. He reported hopefully
of her father, and icjolced In her words
of praise for his profcnslonal care.
"lvo often thought, sho observed ear
nestly, "that I'd llko to be a doctor."
Doctor Ulyth smiled somewhat satiric
ally. "You forget. Miss Hull," inthcr loftily,
"the physical Inability to cope with tho
hardships Incident to a country doctor's
life. He must bravo nny storm or cold
a dcllcato girl like you couldn't endure
It."
A little, nickering smllo lurked for an
Instant at the corners of tho pretty
mouth.
"Don't you approve of women being
jihslclnns7"
"Frankly, Miss Hull, I do not."
"And may I ask," demurely, "what aro
somo that ou consider .suitable for wom
en?" "Well, hesitatingly, "first, home-making.
A woman should be er u wife, and nnd
mother, of course."
"Thoso privileges," quietly, "nro denied
somo women. Go on "
"School teaching." triumphantly, "milli
nery, dressmaking."
"Not at nil up to date," smilingly, "any
thing else?"
"Well er " lamely, "I don't recall any
thing at the moment."
"You wouldn't approve, then, of a wom
an being a bteamboat cnptnln or an engi
neer or n houso painter or n mason?"
"Certnlnly not The Inst two aro utterly
Impossible anyway."
"Oh, I don't know," lightly, "I can even
Imnglno n woman being a good lineman."
Hlyth laughed In open sarcasm.
"I wouldn't care to see tho woman.
Wouldn't she be a terror?"
"Why?" sharply.
"Tako jour own lineman, for example,
Ollss Hall. Fancy a woman in his place!
Dr'vlng in all weathers about this sparse

shoulders impatiently. "ThntH worso

Ho ventured another evening cnll, hut

tho lineman piompted a question ns to
his compctcncj-. "You hnvo to go around
with him all tho time," he grumbled jeal
ously. Fidelia blushed.
"Tho lineman Is fully competent, but I

An Imperative call for "contrnl" Inter
rupted, and tho sentence was not com
pleted. myth remembered It uneasily. Wns It

sho liked driving In tho glorious autumn
weather?
Ho grow despondent ns the weeks went
bj nnd no mnttor how cold or stormy

answer: "Out with tho llncinnn."
Then ho resolved to sottlo tho nffalr
Ho loved tho girl ho was sure of himself
now. Ho would boldlj- niiiko tho oppor
tunity to tell her .o. Sho should choose
between him nnd thnt his adjectives
would not hnvo been uttered In Fidelia's
presence lineman!
Tho thought of her wns uppermost In
his mind ns he drove toward homo on
b. cold, windy day In enrly spring. "Oh.
If only I " he checked the half-uttered
words, smiling tenderly ns ho dreamed a
young man's beautiful day-drenms of love
nnd life.
Ahead of him, in the lonely country
road, he saw a horgo nnd buggy stnud
Ing by a telephone polo. Instinctively ho
looker up.
"Tho lineman!" he exclaimed interest
edly. "I'm thankful Fidelia Isn't with
hlm this miserable day!"
The man climbed from the cross-arm
and came down tho pole with the swift
orbo acquired by 'constant practice.
"He's u little chap," thought the doc
tor, "perhaps that's why Fidelia watches
hlm so closelj-."
The lineman sprang Into the buggy, with
his coil of wire and bag of tools, driving
rapidly away.
"I'll overtake hlm and speak with him,
I I ought to be half-way decent to a
little chap like that."
But the lineman's stlm, boyish figure,
erect In the lighter vehicle, held the lines
over an animal that sped along as If
aware of his pursuit.
myth caught a glimpse of a rounded,
red cheek under the lineman's close cap.
A wild thought, a glimmering of the
truth, sent the blood to his own cheeks
and he urged hie horse on.
He reached the drlvdway at Hall's In
time to see the slim figure leap from the
baggy and dash Into the house.
The doctor followed hurriedly.
"Do tell your slater that I must see her
at once!" Ilia Imperative command start
led Edith into inetant obedience.
When Fidelia entered the room with
cheek that rivaled the crimson of the
soft robe she wore, Plth sprang toward
tier.
She motioned him back with a repelling
hand, even while her eyea gave him the
assurance he sought.

Can You Sit Still?
By n Woman Who Haa Learned How
to Do So
T.ast Sundav a friend took me to n
certain well-known city church to
hear a famous preacher for the first
time. T think when I look back on that
evening In time to como I shall forget
tho sci mon I heard, but remember how,
for the first tlmo In my life, I snt abso
lutely and entirely still.
When tho preacher began his sermon I
folded my arms on tho hymn-book ledge
in front of mo nnd leant forward with my
eyes fixed on his face. There must be
some magic In tho man, for, though I
didn't care particularly for what he said,
ho held my attention so absolutely that
I never turned my head or moved a
muscle ns long ns ho wns speaking.
It wns not that he hypnotized mo in
tho least, for 1 could liavo looked the
other way If I had made nn effort nnd I
was qulto awnro of all that was going on
nround me; I simply didn't want to move.
When the sermon wns over I half wished
I had. for one arm was sn numb ot the
end of that motionless half hour that It
was some minutes before I incoveied the
use ot It!
I5ut how restful that experience was! It
wns ns good na nn hour's Bleep nt the
end of n particularly hard day. I had
como up from tho eountrj by a very slow,
early morning train, nnd had rushed
about all day from one part of Philadel
phia to another. Yet I came out of that
church long after eight at night feeling
Just ns brisk nnd fresh na If It were
breakfast time.
Slnco then I've made up my mind to
learn how to sit still. Somo people do It
naturally and without effort, but to me
it's one of tho hardest things In the
world. I'm always fldgotlng, moving my
position, or rolling something between my
fingers, and the consequence Is that I
never really rest. If you are also an ac
tlve, energetic sort of person, It's very
likely that you never rest either.
Suppqse wo make a compact, you and I,
to practice sitting stilt for five minutes
regularly everj- day. We will not even
knit, but our Idle hajids shall have noth
ing whatever to do, and our feet, oased In
the easiest ot shoes, shall learn to cover
the same patch of carpet all the time,
We will close our eyeB f we feel Inclined,
and, anyway, the light shall be rustfully
dm, and Just for five minutes nothing
short ot an earthquake shall move us
from our chairs.
Life Is so wearing nowadays that we
need every bit of our strength, and It's a
real pity to waste any of It In mere rest
lessness. It won't bo easy for us "fidgety
Phils" to learn our lesson of stillness, but
practice makes perfect, and when once
we have discovered the entire reatfulness
of elttlng still, we shall gradually lose the
desire to be always on the move. And
how much more soothing It Is for other
people to see us In our quiet attitudes
than to be irritated almost unconsciously
by our constant little tricks of movement!

Making Up for Theatricals
By A,N AMATEUR ACTRESS
First of nit, study the stage and find out
what tights nro to be used. For a stage
whloh has both overhead and footlights,
J'ou will need a complete make-up. For
a stage which has footlights only, tho
make-up should bo slighter; and for one
which is lighted ns many concert plat
forms nro by gas brackets at tho back
or tamps set about, you will need only
the sllghcst dust of rouge and powder.
Tho materials necessary aro: A good
skin cream for making tho foundation)
palo pink greaso paint; carmino or pow
der rouge; powder; a black or blue pencil
for the eyes; liquid whlto for arms and
neck, nnd brown pencil for the eyebrows.
Hub a llttlo foundation cream all over
your face. Now rub the palo pink grcaao
paint oer this, spreading It on smoothly
and working It well Into tho skin. Put
on n llttlo dab ot carmino on each cheek,
and work this in till It fades o!t nt tho
edges nnd j'ou cannot toll whero it be
gins or ends. Purso up your lip? and
press the end of tho carmino stick against
them. Then smooth off tho spot ot color
so made, being careful not to work It too
far toward tho corneis of tho lips, for
this would give -ou the appearance of a
largo mouth. Touch tho lower and upper
lids ot tho eyes Ilghtlv with the blue
pencil, but bewaro of darkening them too
much, or tills will glvo you a blg-ej'cd,
haggard look. Now dust the faco well
with -powder, giving a touch to your eye
brows with tho brown pencil If necessary,
and rub liquid whlto In tho neck nnd
hands.
Gettinc It OlT
For a dij- make-up such as looks best
on a stnge whero Ihcro nro few lights
do not uso any grease paints, except on
tho lip. Hub a very llttlo skin cream on
tho face and dust tho rougo lightly on
tho cheeks. Mako up tho llpi as directed
above, nnd powder tho face. A very light
touch of tho pencil on tho eyebrows and
lids maj- bo cffectlvo for thoso who hnvo
bluo or gray eyes.
Points to lemcinber:
First. Go to j-our dressing room between
the nets and see If a llttlo moro powder
would improve j-our appearance. Some
times, ns an actor grows hot, tho make
up Is Inclined to look a little shlnj-, but
a touch of powder will soon put thnt
right.
Second. If possible, mnko j-ourself up
for the dress rehearsal, so that candid
friends may Judge of the effect nnd glvo
j-oii a hint or two If necessary.
To romovo make-up do not begin by
washing your face. Hub It with a rag
on which greaso has been smeaied till
most of tho color hns como off. Then
wash In wnrm water.
A Woman's Pride
I will not look for hlm. I will not hear
My heart's loud beating, ns I strain to see
Across tho rain forlorn and hopelessly,
Nor, starting, think 'tis ho that draws
so near,
1 will forget how tenderly nnd dear
He might In coming hold his arms to me,
For I will prove whnt woman's prldo
can bo
When fnlnt love lingers In the darkness
dienr.
I will not ah, but should ho come tonight
1 think my life might break through
very bliss.
This little will should so be torn apart
That all my soul might fall In golden light
And let mo die; so do I long for this,
Ah, love, thlno ejest Nny, lovo thy heart,
thy heart!
