Ynur Bhlp may bo

vast number ot women
w'h'ioo dream ship In

they havo gono a-sall-Ing
with nlllten sails

definite port In view
"l "' It li high tlmo that

Tho first step toward making your dream
of beauty t-oino trim la tn find out Just
whern you mln being beautiful. Analyzo
yourself, but do not ho Inn critical ; remem
ber that beauty, after all, ban a iillillng
scale "Ilenuty Is In tho eyo of the be
holder" A woman whom nno person might
consider lovely will not appeal to another.
Oenulnn beauty In simply a matter of In
dividuality a. rum of making yourself as
attrnrtlve as possible.
When you tear yourself apart ynu will
find that ynu havo been neglecting to ciro
for. the beauty with which nature originally
endowed ynu Your hair no longer hangs In
two thick hraldi that ynu can "sit on," ns
was tho caso when ynu wero a schoolgirl.
becnusn you havo failed tn glvo it the
proper rare. You h.-un starved thn rontn.
nllowod tho scalp tn become dry and scaly,
fntgotten the dally brushing nnd mnssngo
and I lie semimonthly shampoo "Mend your
wnvn" whom vour hair Is concerned if you
want to bring your dream ship nearer port.
Then thrn Is your I'ompli'Xlnn, which you
e::peetoil tn retain the color nnd velvety
smoothness of youth without overling tlio
slightest effort tn preservo Its beauty. You
hurriedly bathed thn okln with htrong Rnnp
and "bard" watot. Then you carolessly
dried it nnd went out of doom. Tho wind
finished tlio drying process, but it nlno
robbed your skin of tho oils that tlio good
fairy nituro provides for softening and
nourishing tho skin.
Help oiir beauty dream to como trua
by bolng careful tn batho ynur faco prop
erly, using a nonp made of pure vegetable
nils and "soft" wator. Then lubrlentn Ihn
skin by applying cold cream or a softening
lotion
The other features of ynur face eyes,
llpH, tooth, eyebrows nnd lashes all re
quire nttentlon to keep them In a perfect
cnndltlnn In order that your ship can como
snlllng Into port.
Then look at your flguro. Have you al
lowed It tn lose It3 gracoful curves through
lack nt exorcise or improper diet? Do not
throw up your hands In despair when you
seo how far It falls short of thn beauty
i.tandnrd. Any woman with determination
can icdiiro or Increase her weight, ib-gln.
boforo you aro a day older, to innko your
dieam of a perfectly ptoporlloned flguro

Then bear In mind that beauty 13 some
thing deeper than "surfaco charms " It Is
something deeper than tho effectlvo ap

largely duo to tho permanent attitude of
mind and heart. Your Inner self must bn

HOUSEHOLD HELPS
How to Prepare -a Grapefruit
GOETHE tells us thnt Wcrther fell In love
with Charlotte as he watched hor cut
ting bread for her younger slaters and
hi others 'She wns a picture of womanly
grace nnd tenderness and It had Its effect
on tho observing young mart.
It la quite possible to display beautiful
tapering fingers In tho dainty slicing of
bread and other foods Hut only tho
skilled hometpakcr ran dare to attack thn
grapefruit and publicly slice it before the
family or guests. Hut thero is a way, and,
llko other things. It depnndi largely on the
mechanical assistants you uso when you are
ready to prepare tha grapefruit for the
isuidi
In the first place, you can't proceed to
battle with the grapefruit with juet any
knife at all. You need two sharp knives.
One Is a smalt, sharp-blndod knife with
which ynu can halve the fruit; the other
Is an equally sharp, curved-hlada knife.
Hero Is an efficient line of action:
Klrst. Cut the fruit In half with tha
straight blade.
Second Rxchnnga the straight-blade knife
for tho rurved.blade knlfo, and cut out of
the grapefruit the center core and the
eeeds.
Third. Cut the pulp from the back of the
skin with tho round blade,
Fourth. Cut the pulp from each little
rind wall with the straight knife.
With these two knives, and following a
definite plan of action, any ono can prepare
a grapefruit perfectly.
It may seem as though It were rather a
complicated process to havo to use two
knives for tha preparation of one kind of
fruit, but It is the greatest economy In the
long run. In the first place, tha grapefruit
must be cut absolutely right or It la spoiled
for table use. No one likes to tee a grape
fruit that Is "raggy" or almost julceles
because of Improper cutting. It's an ex.
travagance to buy a fine grapefruit and
then tp serve It badly so that the appetlzlnsr
quallty for which you've paid a good price
is removed,
Also It ! better to havo your two knives
for this purpose than to Impress tha other
kitchen knives Into grapefruit service. The
hotter your equipment of knivtu In the be
ginning, the laniiw will the whole outfit
last The housewife who economizes by
making shift with one or two knives for
everything In the kitchen has to replace this
limited, supply so often that most of the
lima she la minus a satisfactory tool.
JCntves wear out qulekly If jhey are used,
too often and too reo!tlwwy for all aorta of
rough wear
When you select grapefruit knives, select
guod one. In which thaae points ara evl

An Attrnctivo Tailored Still
w;
Il.Ia ttondora never ceaso? Had went
homo alone leaving mother nnd mo to
visit with tho Merediths. This Is an un-linard-nf
event In the nnnals of our family
nnd In duo to the bewitching power of "Fred
din" otherwise Winifred who coaxed Dad
tn say "yeB" boforo ho knew It.
I'reddln plays tho samo part In her homo
town that I try to play In mlno. Just now
bo's nearly frantic trying to rehearso n
plav which In really a fanhlon pageant. It
has threo nets "morning," "afternoon" and
"evening " Some of tho girls bnlkod nt
bring cast for tho first act, because they
didn't fancy wearing tailored, sports or ono
piece costumes.
Two nf tho.-n dropped nut nt tlio last
minute, so Krcildlo nnd I hnd to rush to tlio
rescue.
.Slncri every costumn that appearn In the
play Ih to bn auctioned off and tho proceeds
donated to charity, nothing but tho very
smartest clothes can bo worn.
Freddie's part calls for a dressy tailored
suit and mlno for a onc-ploco dress. My
mlrtnlght-bluo sergo and satin scoma to "fill
the bill," nnd has never been worn, so I
cboso It.
Then wo went to Freddie's tailor nnd
begged him, for nwcet chanty's sake, to
mako up something smart In iccord-brcnk-Ing
time.
Jin promised tn put everything nlso aside
and mako a suit with a contrasting coat
and skirt. It camo home today, nnd Is n
perfect marvel of tailored stylo.
The i,klrt Is of bluo-ond-croon nlald ve
lours The material In of that f-oft pliable
quality that hangs In roft folds yet has
enough bndy to tailor well. Tho plaid de
sign In quite pronounced.
When Freddie slipped the skirt nn I went
Into raptures over thn way It fltH nbnut tho
hips and hangs In deep foldn nt thn hem. Ot
cnurEo, It Is cut circular plaid skirts are
always prettiest when there nro' nn seams
to break tho lines of thn design and Is
ettremely wide. It must havo taken a
frightful lot of material to mako It Tho
top Is finished with a wide, crush belt, fas
tened nt tlio sldo with threo buttons covered
with tlio cloth.
Tlio coat, howover, "makes" tho suit. It
la of dnrk-bltio velvet to match tho bluo of
thn ekltt, and Is that lovoly tone between
snpphlro and midnight blue Without being
nttnl it ban lines that follow Freddie's
llguro Just enough tn bo unusually becom
ing. Jn front thero Is Just a little fullness
abnvp tlio waistline, which Is drawn Into
slashes mndo In thn full skirt portion
I particularly ilko tho dropped shoulder
effect and tho full sleeves. Tho latter are
gathfied into wide cuffs of moleskin, and
the samo peltry In used for the broad collar.
A'elvet-coverod buttons servo the double
purpose of fastening and trimming tho ennt,
and liuttonholeH nio hound instead of but-
wiiiiiuic-Nuiriieu.
Mrs. Meredith told Freddie that all tho
suit noeded tn mako It absolutely faultless
was ono ot tlio cunning little muffs of mole
skin. A hint was sufficient; Freddlo went
straightaway nnd bought one.
I nm going to "bid strong" tor this suit
myself, for with n few alterations it can
bo mado to fit mo.
Only half my part is memorized. I'll have

A THANKSGIVING
TRADE-LAST SENT
FROM BORNEO
By DAISY EAGLESON
I AST Thanksgiving I spent far from tho
X States In tho town of Sandnknn In
Borneo, Our llttlo party only stayed thcro
two days, but na tho American consul
had been our follow-travoler from tho
Philippines, ha nsked tia to hl.s houno to
a good American Thanksgiving dinner.
Next to ma sat an T5nsllshmnn, aman
of culture and knowledge of tho world,
nnd during tho courso of our conversa
tion, lis said something very nice nbout
America. That In Itself Is worthy to ho
chronicled, as every American who has
lived much nhroad will readily consent
Wo hear all klnda of criticism of our
country, somo that mokes ua laugh, somo
that makea our blood boll. Oautlor, Paul
Hourgot or Kipling, not to mention lesser
lights, spend n few days or weoks here,
and then proceed to give us their moro or
lenn unflattering Impressions. Slnco the
war thoy aro mostly, moro unflattering.
Tho American's wealth Is what tho Kuro
poan most rcsenta, It neems. His youth
and lrrepresslblo spirits ho doplorcs next.
nut to como back to my Englishman
and paso on tho trade-last.
"Do you know what has opened my
eyes tn tho fact that America must havo
a r,ou1: that beneath tho lovo of tho
dollar therai-must bo n sentiment reach
ing out for hottor things; thnt tho rever
ent unworldly tnlnd of tho Puritan has
left Its lnflunnco on tho natlonnl con
science?"
"I glvo up," I said laughingly. "What
Is It, Mlstor, I hlto." (For I was resolved
to shock this fluently spoken gentleman
with somo Americanisms.
"It Is your Thnnkaglvlntr nay," ho rnld
solemnly nftor hnvlng Indulged In a smile
at my frivolity, "A peoplo that seta asldo
ono day ovory year to thank tho Jxird
for Ills blessings Is osscntinly n, spiritual
people, and must havo other thoughts be
sides making two dollars grow where ono
grow before."
"You nro right," I said; "tho host Judges
know us for what wo are, nn Idealistic
nntlon."
That very morning I had thought no to
myself ns wo woro taking n walk through
tho town and toeing tho numcious opium
dives wldo open and thronged. Tho Gov
ernment holds tho monopoly on opium
nnd soils it freely to tho Ignorant natives
who sink lower nnd lower whllo their ex
ploiters wax rich. Coming from tho
Philippines, whero tho American Govern
ment sponds much effort nnd monoy to
provent tho Filipinos from obtaining
opium stealthily, ono cannot help malting
comparisons nnd coming to conclusions.
Howover, I did not vnlco my thoughts,
as you may imagine. I was In Hritlsh
Uorneo, In tho Amorlcan consul's houso.
and wo wero having dinner, throo very
good reasons.
Then our host sungcstcil that tho old
mylng ought to bo amplified with "Ity
their holy days yo shall know them,"
adding that ho, for im, had always ap
proved of Thanksgiving, from the tlmo
ho was a boy.

MY MARRIED LIFE
By ADELE GARRISON
How Madge Quiets Katieprid
UiSlUI
iiTT ATin, I wish you to stop this at once.
i-V You musi control yourself." Kntln
looked up, startled. I bad never rpoltcn In
that manner to her before. Hut I know
enough of her childlike temperament to
renllzo that It was tho only way to slop
her tears.
"Xow, listen to me," I went on, firmly
"You must stop prying, batho your eyes
nnd bo ready to servo things when I call
i-ou."
I had decided not to lake I.llllan Oalo's
ndvlco and send Katie tn bed on thn pre
text of n tordhnche. Frank and Pnlsy
Lester In all probability would bo our guests
again. It Katlo remained In my employ
she would havo to sco Frank Lester some
time, fibo might as well begin nt once.
Katlo was obstinate, howover.
"Oh, Missis Oraham," nho sobbed, "I
told you dot Meester Lc3talro ho so bad
man, I 'fraid of him I do not want to sco
him."
I walked over to her, took her by tho
shoulders nnd looked nt her quietly for a
moment. Tho ruso succeeded. She stopped
crying nnd looked nt mo In amazement.
"Don't bo nn Idiot, Katlo," I said sharply.
"Mr. Lester Is married. Hn has a wife and
llttln baby Ills wlfo is with him tonight
llo probably has forgotten nil about you, or
Hint ho over frightened you. He was a
b.td man, I know, but ho cannot hurt you
nnw You nro hero with mn. In my houso,
If you obey 'mo I will tako care of you."
A Vi:m AJ1M3 AID
Katlo often surprises mo with her quick
changes from sadness to gnycty. Sho wiped
her eyes and broko Into ono of her In
fcctlnu.s giggles.
"O-ohl" slio said. "Mcester Los la I ro he
married Xow ho havo to behave, his wife
she glvo him good leecklng. I no 'frald
now,- I fl you tings. I go wnsh faco, put
iniwuur on, an jonst llko Meesls Under
wood," sho added, with nn Imp'sh grin.
"ICnllo, you must never speak In that
manner of any guest of mine." I snbl stern
ly; but Katlo hnd vanished Into her room
and tho teprnof wan wasted.
I went Intn thn living rnom nnd mnhaged
tn get a word aside with Lillian Onlc.
"Katlo Is nil right. Sho will nervo with
out any trouble. Can ynu warn Mr. Lester
nnt tn betray, by a wnrd or glance, that
be lias over seen her before?"
"Trust Frank." replied Mrs. Underwood
shortly "Ho could meet his murdered
father's ghnot. If hn had one, without tho
quiver nf nn eyelash. Hut I'll tell him,
nnywny. Just for tho pleasuro of letting
bun know I nm next. Hnw did you ever
mr.nngo Katlo?"
"Oh, sho wasn't hard to manage," I re
turned lightly. I had a puroly feminine
satisfaction in having reduced Katlo to
sanity alter Lllllnn Galo had failed. Sho
seemed ho eminently capablo In all direc
tions. When I camo In lo speak to her I
hnd drawn hor away from a group com
prued nf herself, Dicky nnd Mr. Lester.
Thev were discussing some pioblom of their
profession, nnd Lillian Gale, with her forcl
ble wordn and animated gestures, held tho
center ot the stage. Until men wero listen
ing to hor with undoubted respect for her
oplnlpns They wero standing now, nnd I
thought I could detect In both of them an
Impatlcnco nt my Interruption of their
chat.
Tn nn armchair In tho corner little Mrs.
Lester sat, as If on a throno. with Harry
Underwood In nn attitude of exaggerated
Jiomagn beforn her.
uN'nr.nwooD unaixs his campaign
I felt suddenly out of It nil, lonely.
These people wero nothing to mo, I said
to myself. They woro nnt my kind. I
bad u sudden hnmealrkness for tho quiet
monotony of my life boforo I married
Dicky. I thought ot tho tow social oven
Ings I had spant In tho days before I mot
Dicky, little dlnnors with tho principals
nnd teachers I liad known, when I had
boen ibo center of things, when my opin
ions hnd boon deforred to, as Lllllam Oalo'B
were now.
"Oh, Mrs. Graham, pleaso como over hero
and help mo squolch this awful man."
Llttlo Mrs. Lester, all smiles and dimples,
called to mo from her corner. At her call
Mrs. Underwood, with an nlr of relief,
moved back to her discussion with Dicky
nnd Mr. Lester, and there was nothing
left for mo to do but to go to Mrs. Lester's
side.
As I camo toward them Harry Underwood
turned toward mo and bowed low, his band
upon his heart.
"Pardon mo for thn suggestion,- O gra
cious lady," ho said, "but you look ns If you
bad swallowed tho vlnegnr cruet. Do not bo
so croocl tuh muh Why don't you do as
does this fairy at my left smllo upon
mo7"
Mrs. Lester giggled again. "Isn't he aw
ful?" she queried "lle'n been making love
to mo terribly. Ho quite frightens mo. If
no doesn't stop it right away I'm going to
tell his wife."
"You don't need to take that trouble,"
