The Great Panama Distribution
Will Be Discontinued in
a Few Days
It doesn't take the oldest inhabitant
to remember when some of the great
inventions of the day first came into
tize. Less than thirty years ago type
writers could not be sold and the tel-1
ephone was but poorly patronized, |
principally because of the lack of
perfection in operation. Truly this is!
the day of big things.
The Telegraph is carrying on a
■Teat educational distribution, which
lis Just about to be brought to a close.
"Panama and the Canal in Picture
end Prose" is being given for one cer
tificate and a small expense fee. This
book does not do your thinking for
you, but it develops the thought and
will answer every question that arises
In regard to Panama at home, in
school or at the office.
This volume is being distributed by
leading newspapers throughout the
country. It is bound in tropical red
vellum cloth, with the title stamped
In gold and the front cover inlaid
with a beautiful stippled color panel
showing the famous Culebra cut. It
contains more than six hundred mag
nificent illustrations, many of which
nre made from unique water color
frtudtes and reproduced In their ar
tistic colorings to full page size. No
expense has been spared to make this
splendid big volume the standard
work on Panama and the Canal.

Mifllinburg, Pa., Feb. s.—An inspec
tion of the condemned span In the
large bridge which joins Union county

BREATHING: ITB RELATION TO
HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
To Begin the Day.
Begin the day by throwing back the
bed clothes and discarding the pil
low. Lie flat on the back, throw the
hands over the head and stretch, push
ing out first one leg and then the oth
er. the movements coming from the
hips. I assume that the windows have
been open during the night, either
partly or wholly, depending on the
season; no one should sleep without a
constant renewal of fresh air In tbe
room.
Repeat this stretching movement
six or eight times; It will start the cir
culation and give activity to the
limbs.
Breathing Exercises.
Throw a looee wrap over the shoul
ders, if the day is cold, and take an
erect standing position before an opep
window.
Exercise Mo. L —Extend the arms,
palms up, Inhale and exhale slowly
through the nostrils, keeping the
mouth always closed, moving the arms
front and back, describing horizontal
circles, mils opens the lungs so that
the air has a chance to get Into the
Interior and expands the chest at the
■ame time. Make twenty circles with
the arms in this position.
Exercise No. 2.—Place the hands
en the hips, rest lightly on the balls
of the feet with shoulders well back.
Inhale deeply, entirely filling the
lungs; exhale slowly, as slowly as pos
sible, until all the air Is exhausted.
Repeat this ten times. This exercise
will strengthen the diaphragm and, if
continued regularly, will reduce the
waist measurement.
Exercise No. 2.—Take from six to
eight Bhort inhalations, expelling all
the breath suddenly. Repeat this ten
times.
To finish, throw back the head and
blow about an Imaginary bubble, mov
ing tbe head from side to side. Thia
Is excellent for neck development and
will round and smooth out the throat.

Their Married Life
By MABEL HERBERT URNER
Helen Experiences the Difficulties of a
Peacemaker In a Lovers'
Quarrel
Helen glanced questionlngly at
Louise's rlngless hand on which had
glittered Bob's engagement ring.
"I've returned It," briefly.
"You thought you would goad him.
into action?" persisted Helen merci
lessly.
Louise, who was crumbling a tea
cake by her plate, did not look up or
answer.
"Oh, I could have told you it
wouldn't," despairingly. "Bob's like
Warren—he Just freezes up! He'll
think you will wish It flnal."
"Apparently that is what he
wishes," returned Louise coldly.
"Oh, no —no! He looks absolutely
haggard! 1 can't tell you how he's
changed in these fast few weeks."
"And yet," Louise's dark eyes looked
straight at Helen now, "he's never said
a word—except that once?"
"That's all he's ever said. But
that's the Curtis nature —the more
deeply they feel the less they say."
The orchestra in the palm-fringed
balcony was now playing "The Glow
worm," and Louise's Hps quivered as
she listened to the plaintive melody.
She had refused to'go to Helen's
apartment for fear Bob would think
she was coming there on the chance
of seeing him, but she had consented
to meet at the Aastorltz for
tea.
Helen, who had not seen her for
over a week, was startled at the
change. She was much thinner, all
her bright color had gone, and yet her
very pallor had a loveliness of its
own. ,
"Did I tell you father and I are
going to Florida the 10th?" Louise
asked suddenly.
"To Florida'.'"
"Yes, lots of people I know are at
Palm Beach now. I'll go out like mad
and forget," her laugh had a harsh
note.
"Does Bob know? Did you write
him when you sent back the ring?"
Louise shook her head. "I don't
want him to know until I'm gone. He
might think it only a ruse to influence
him."
"How long will you stay?"
"Until April."
"You'll be perfectly wretched," de
clared Helen with conviction. "You'll
be thinking of Bob every moment."
"Possibly," admitted Louise coldly.
"But I'd be thinking of him here, and
I'll at least feel that I've rest6red
some of my self-respect If I go
away."
"If I thought you could forget, I'd
want you to go—for I believe there's
many men who might make you hap
pier than Bob ever could. But I know
you can't, you can't forget him any
more than I can forget Warren."
"I can try," briefly. Then with a
startled "Oh!" Louise put her hand to
her throat. "That man—the one that's
Just sat down at the table back of
you! Doesn't he look like—"
Helen turned. The poise of the
man's head and shoulders was startl
ingly like Bob's, but the full face view
dispelled the likeness.
"I loathe myself for it, and yet,"
faltered Louise, "whenever I see' any
one that looks like him, it makes me
sick and faint."
For the last half hour a daring
scheme had been formulating in
Helen's mind, and now with one of
her sudden impulses she yielded to it.
"Oh, I've caught my heel in this
hem, it'll trip me on the street,"
stooping over and examining a fold
of her skirt. "I'll run to the dressing
room and pin it up before I forget it,"
pushing back her chair.
"Why can't you do that as we go
out?"
"It won't take a moment," hurry
ing off before Louise could protest.
Out in the lobby Helen made
straight for the telephone booths.
"Give me Rector 18025," breathless
ly to the girl at the switchboard.
"Number three," snapped the girl.
Helen entered the third booth and
tremblingly took down the receiver.
"Rector 18025? Is Mr. Robert Cur
tis there?" .... "Bob, this is Helen!
I'm at the Astoritz having tea with
Louise —she's going to Florida next
week. Take a taxi and get here as
quick as you can " "No, she
hasn't said a word," loyally .... "But
if you want to see her come—and
come quick!"
When slie came back to the table
Louise was gazing out of the window,
too deep in her brooding thoughts to
wonder at Helen's long absence.
"Let's have an ice," suggested
Helen to prolong the tea.
"You have one, I don't care for
any," listlessly.
For the next half hour Helen's
thoughts were most disquieting. Had
she done right? Should she have
tried to bring these two together?
Might it not be better for Louise if
she should never see Bob again? And
yet Helen's "love of love" was so
deep-rooted that she had been power
less to resist this impulse to tele
phone Bob.
Suddenly she saw him, tall, broad
shouldered, coming toward them.
Helen caught her breath. How much
he looked like Warren;
"Well, this IS luck! Already had
tea?"
"Yes, but we'll order you some,"
Helen's laugh was a little hysterical,
ami she dared not glance at Louise.
"Are you sure," he turned to Louise,
"that I won't keep you ?"
"Oh, quite sure," Louise's voice was
low. but icy cold.
"Do you often have time for after
noon tea?" asked Helen, to give him
an opportunity for the explanation
she hoped he had prepared.
"Unfortunately, no, but t had' to
meet a man from the West here at
4:30. Just left him when I saw you.
It's curious how many Westerners
stop at this hotel. They used to go
to the Aldorf."
Louiao kept her eyes on her plate,
but Helen could see her hand tremble
as she toyed with her ice.
Now came a silence, awkward,
strained, which Helen broke with 9
nervous, excited.
"Oh there's Irene Moore and her
mother! I MUST see her!"
The next moment she was out in
the corridor flushed and tremulous.
Had her excuse been too bald? But
she HAD to get away! The strained
situation had been intolerable.
Helen, unconscious of her tightly
clasped hands, her (lushed cheeks and
her shining eyes, did not realize that
she was being watched with interest
by several men sitting around the
lobby.
But in a few minutes she in
stinctively turned to the shelter of
the ladles' dressing room and sank
Into a gilded chair, her heart beating
tumultously.
How long must she stay away?
What would be Louise's attitude?
Might not she too "freeze up" If she
suspected this was a plot? Would
Bob be tactful? If only he would
sweep her off her feet by his tender
ness. But If he tried to argue—that
would be fatal. Louise's pride had
been terribly hurt. He would have
to meet her much more than half way.
What would he say first? Helen felt
so much depended upon that, and the
way he would say It—his voice, his
attitude!
But what if they should say noth
ing—if they Rhould merely carry on
a stilted strained "small talk"? What
HAFRISBURG TELEGRAPH
if Bob should not take advantage of
their few precious momenta alone.
To stay away too long would look
too apparent, so Helen reluctantly re
turned to the tea room.
They were talking earnestly, Louise,
with averted eyes, playing with the
stem of her glass, while Bob leaned
tensely toward her. At least they I
had not been talking conventionali
ties.
But the expressions of both were
baffling. Louise might have been
flushed from either joy, or embarrass
ment, and Bob's face was inscrutable.
"I'm sorry to be so long, but I
hadn't seen Irene for months," said
Helen nervously.
At that moment the waiter ap
proached with the check, and while
Bob took possession of it, Helen tried
desperately to think of some way lie
could take Louise home alone. It was
plain that things were not settled.
Louise was already drawing on her
gloves, and as it was now almost six,
there was no excuse for lingering.
"Well, shall we move on?" naked
Bob, as Helen turned to him expect
antly.
They made their way out through
the lobby where Bob ordered a taxi.
"Oh, I must go to Ardman's! I've
got to—to get some silk before they
close," said Helen hurriedly, resenting
that Bob should leave all the schem
ing to her.
"All right, we'll drop you there."
It was only a few minutes' drive
to Ardman's, and no one spoke on
the way. It was a relief when the cab
drew up and Bob jumped out.
"Is it all right?" whispered Helen,
stooping to kiss Louise good-by.
"I don't know," in a low, tanse
whisper.
Bob helped her out, and Helen
called back a gay good-by to them
both.
"Store's closed, ma'am." The big
doorman put out a restraining arm as
Helen, absorbed in her thoughts,
started in Ardman's. "It's after six."
"Closed?" exclaimed Helen, bewil
dered.
It had been closed when they had
driven up! How fortunate that none
of them had noticed it!
Shrinking from the glare of the
subway just now, Helen walked on
up the avenue. She was still trying
to analyze Louise's whispered, "I don't
know."
Was all this scheming to be of no
avail? Were these two impossible?
Would they quarrel all the way home
and part more embittered than ever?

TO FORM REVERS. PERFORATED FOR
SHORTER LENGTH.
Loose coats such as this one arc made
for so many occasions that there seems
always a demand for a new one. This
model shows the very latest features in
the sleeves that are kimono at the back
and raglan at the front. The lines are
all the smartest possible and the coat one
of the thoroughly useful, satisfactory
sort, available for almost any seasonable
cloaking, the chinchilla cloth illustrated,
wool velours, duvetyn, or plain finished
material. The coat can be cut off to
half length if preferred, so that really the
one model produces two. Again, when
the belt is used and omitted, two different
effects are obtained. A practical ad
vantage is found in the fronts that can
be buttoned up closely when required
or rolled back to form revers on milder
days.
For the medium size, the longer coat will
require 7 yds. of material 27, yds. 44
