In Which Burton Proposes
It llic Chronicle had nol sent Laurel
1 g'e to interview Granville, llurton
ill as might have none on o they
iTlor loth of Mm. Out Burton
lllid a irifc to talc care of Ms chil
irf ami to Laurel llurton was the
we man in the world.
CIIAI'TKU X
TT WAS Btrouge how Granville's
J. ,fvnicc in her life clinngnl Laurel
for n timo from n self-reliant young
nc5paiier woman to a questing little
tirl She wan content when she was
with him to drift, to, let liim do things
for her. to Imvc liim plan for her pleas
ure. Of course, it was only n phase,
but 'it was nu interesting one and dhow
d plainly how much she cared.
The night he asked her to marry liim
thpy lmd come home from somo affair
tml he had come upstairs with her a
' thine lie rnrely did. Winona had gone
n the theatre, and the little apartment
flJ tr quiet. It was a wuvni night
ind the late Mnv hreeze blcy In the ruf
fled cuilnliis. Outside.the dtv hummed,
but from a distance n East lvr-ntli
street the hoiiml blurred and muf-
"laurel slipped out of her clonk nnd
nt down in the big urinchn,r. Her
heart vas beating so that it hceined to
iv.i i,or bodv. She could not think
ute 'ic'irlv Ilehad flung his light
?oat and his lint down on the couch,
and he drew n chair oyer beside her.
Hii firt words were simple nn were
not those of a man carried nwny by
"""You know that I want to rVinrry
roil, don't jou?" he asked.
' Laurel's cool lingers moved restlessly
Irf his. nnd Mic did not answer. In
the dimnr8 of the room his splendid
bead stood out clearly. Hhc noticed
l. ,. ,,. tlio lizlit irlibtened on the
.mnnili ' lmir over his temples. She
could not s-ee hi-, ejes, those steel-graj
eves that made lier catch her breath
when, unwarily, she looked into them.
but he was leaning close to her and
5uddcnl he lifted her hand to his lips.
It was the fust time he had called her
that.
"I can make jou happy.
Unpin ! She could have laughed at
that. Whj, no one in the world could
in. Iirr Imimiuess if he could not. Noth
ing would be left to her in Hfc if he
went out of it. y
She laughed a littlrf, und the sound
nas soft in the room, lie stood up
tnrWpnlv and drew her out of the chair
int his arms. She stood straight at
a flame in his embrace, and she threw
had; her splendid jouug head, with
its ruddy aureole of hair, und looked ut
bun.
r,oc is something that cannot be
pnsih donned. l.ovo casts aside all
caution ; it is quite deliciously mad, und
jot it is the sanest madness in the world.
Courtship to most mcu is a time ot
famine. To Giauville Burton is was
nothiuz of the kind. lie was not woo-
over, to have the family know, to net'
his life back to normal. Laurel was
to help in making his life smooth : she
was not intended to interfere wnn any
thing. "Let it be soon next week, if pos
sible," he said, sitting back in his chair,
with ,one. knee thrown carelessly over
the other, his splendid head thrown
back nnd that dominant note in his
voice.
"And I can mnkc arrangements to have
it done quietly. You can give up the
idea of a big wedding, can't you?'
"I never did want u big wedding,
Laurel said quietly.
Granville remembered suddenly his
own wedding, the big, dim church, the
crowds of people, the ribbon-confined
aibles, the string of bridesmaids and
Ruth, pale and sweet, standing beside
him in a mist of tulle, with the smell
of hothouse flowers heavy in the air
about them.

Wants Bobbed Hair
To the lldttor ol Woman's rape:
T)pnr Miidrim Could jrfll please tell
me if It still is the style for a girl to
wear the hair bobbed? I have been con-slderitii-
lnivlnir mv hair cut short in
the Dutch style of bobbed hair, as it
would be ery, becoming to me. Is the
Dutch stvle considered the correct style
of bobbed hair for a girl of seventeen
j ears of age (by the Dutch style I mean
bobbed hair witli baugs)?
Do jou think bobbed linir is n good
style for hair dressing1 for girls of my
nge?
Hoping thnt I hnvc not nsked too
much of you and jou will answer my
questions in j'our very valuable nnd also
very interesting column,

Enjoys Woman's Page
To the Urtttor ot Woman's I'aac:
Pear Madam Your column is very
interesting. I have the Wvenino Pub
lic Lkdoek every evening, and enjoy
the Woman's Page immensely. Will
you please tell me how I can remove
mustard stains from u deep-brown plaid
skirt? I hajT sent it to a cleaner,
but he claims, he cannot remove them.
The sitirt has been worn only u few
times, and I would feel sorry to have
it thrown away. Also, can you tell
me if flicre is iiossibly n free school or
place wiierc typing and shorthand arc
taught?
How can moles or crow's feet be
gotteii rid of and- be prevented from
spreading? I have a light delicate
skin nnd sonp tends to make it have n
scaly appearance. What can be used
instead 'of soap? I have blond hair and
it seems, to be getting darker each day.
What cau be done without bleaching it?
MISS EVELYN.
I am glad j'ou enjoy the Woman's
Page. I cm afraid I cannot help you
with the mustard stains. If a pro
fessional cleaner, ennnot get tbcm out,
they evidently will not come out! It
is too bad to have the skirt polled.
You might have it dipped in brown
dye. The plaid would probably " still
show, you know, and would be only n
little fainter, and the stains would at
least be made less noticeable by the
dye.
I do not know of any place where
stenography is taught free., Perhaps
some of the readers of the column
could help jou out by suggesting a
who look well that way. I!c sure that
it is becoming before! jou do It, because
there is nothing so dreadfully unbecom
ing ns noDocu nnir oil a girl whoso face
1h too grown-up. orVoo large, or too
serious for it. You kitow tho most im
portant part of a Hty!eit hnlrdrcssing
is its effect upon you, no rNnttcr whether
everybody else is using ittor not. 'If
the bangs are becoming, bv all means
hnvc them, but if not, (then try the
