THE PLOTTERS A New Serial of East and West By Tlrital* Terhnne Vu de Water CHAPTER XLI Douglas Wade's line of reasoning only proved the truth that a man In love sees all things from his own particular angle of vision. Had this been otherwise he would have appreciated that Elizabeth could take no pleasure in revealing her identity to the man to whom she had for weeks now posed as "Lizzie Moore." He would also have understood that the news of his engagement would change the whole future out look for her. But the happy lover did not com prehend this. He could not. As once before. hiß letter to his sister was addressed direct to her. not Inclosed in an envelope to Amos Chapin. Douglas would have argued that there was no longer need for secrecy, as Butler would soon know the truth. In his letter to Elizabeth, Doug las informed her that Alicia was writing to her brother announcing her betrothal. John's mother was also writing to him about it. "I have confessed to them the scheme of which you and I have been guilty," Douglas wrote. "They have promised not to mention this yet to John. As you are on the ground, you are the best judge of when he should he told of it.

Following this paragraph were as surances of the brother's regard for his sister. He also expressed his thanks to her for all that she had done to aid and abet him in his scheme this summer. He was hoping that before long they might have a long talk together. He did not know when that would be. He could not be married for at least six months. Before then Elizabeth and he must meet and discuss their plans. "As soon as you finish your col lege course, you are to come to live with us," he added. Not to Her likbig Women are complex creatures. Men are built along more direct lines. Therefore, Douglas Wade would have been astonished could he have seen Elizabeth's expression of countenance as she finished the pe rusal of this letter. "Live with him and his wife!" she muttered. "Never!" Then she was ashamed of her bit ter feeling as she remembered Doug las' unfailing kindness and the sacri fices he had made for his little sister. It was perfectly natural and right that he should fall in love. She should have expected nothing else. She had even urged him to do this very thing. Deliberate and honest self-exami nation showed to her the humiliat ing fact that she was jealous of the girl to whom her brother had given his heart. Elizabeth was hot with mortification as she appreciated this. She would do what she could to atone for her meanness. The penance she set for herself was the writing of two letters. One was to Alicia Butler. In this she said that Douglas had just writ ten to her of his great happiness, and she expressed the wish that Alicia would think of Douglas' sister as of a friend who hoped some day to be a sister in heart as well as in name. "That's done!" Elizabeth sighed when she had finished the letter. "Now I will write to dear old Doug las. That task will be easier." But it was not easier, as she real ized when she re-read his epistle. On its first perusal, the big fact of his engagement had taken such hold upon her mind that she had not understood that he was almost decided to sell the farm, unless something unforeseen prevented Which meant that even this semi home would be taken from his sis ter. Elizabeth also read now compre hendingly two other statements that had seemed at first of less impor tance than her brother's betrothal. One of these was that the women of the Butler family were writing to their son and brother telling him of the engagement. The other was that it devolved upon her, Elizabeth, to confess her identity to Butler himself. A Deep Puzzle Three things occupied her thoughts during the next few hours. First—Butler probably knew by now that Wade was going to marry his sister. Second —He would soon know who Elizabeth was and might hate her for her system of deception. Third—Amos Chapin might buy the farm. This last possibility would not be come a certainty just yet. In his letter, Douglas had said he would give Amos no definite answer until hearing from his sister. She felt that she could not yet write frankly on the subject of part ing with the old home. She must have time to think of it from all its angles. So, instead of the letter she had expected to send, she wrote only a brief note congratulating her broth er, expressing her love for him and Y&J Soothe Your Itching Skin Cuticura All dnoiiti; Soap 2>, 01 ntmant 2b A 50.

NT- V No. 22. Does Your Baby Suck His Thumb? (Copyrighted, 1918, by The Parents Association, Inc.) YOU know how much easier it is to prevent a habit than to break it after it is established. And again you know how much easier it is to break a new habit than an old one. But we don't always act according to our knowledge. If you see an undesirable habit beginning to develop in your child, start a proper campaign against it immediately. If a habit already ex ists, remember that it is more easily broken to-day than to-morrow. One mother writes to me: "Our little two-year-old girl at twenty minutes of age, began to suck her thumb. Bitter applications such as aloes or quassia have no effect. How can I break the habit?" Inasmuch as this little girl has practiced thumb-sucking for so long, there is only one way possible to break the habit and that is by prac tically constaht supervision for sev eral days. At night, pull both her sleeves down over her hands and pin them securely with a safety pin, until you are sure she can be trusted without taking this precaution. To break the habit in the day time, have her sit on your lap when she is in a happy mood and lodge the suggestion deeply into her mind that she is to keep her thumb out of her mouth. Start to put your own thumb up to your mouth, but be fore getting it quite these, dash it down with great emphasis, and then immediately shake your head and frown as if you had tasted something bitter. Look down at your thumb, then look the child in the eye and shake your head slowly but with firmness. For at least three or Tour days scarcely allow the child to be out of your sight a minute. Manage to 1 Little Talks by Beatrice Fairfax \ V- BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX If you have not a good voice, you have deliberately neglected a tre mendous advantage on the high road to success, and one that is within the grasp of everybody. From the beginning of time poets have sung of the music of women's voices and, incidentallly, given the sex a highly valuable tip in regard to one of its most fascinating at tributes. Nothing makes so strong an appeal to the emotions as a beau tiful voice. It works magic for its happy possessor and yet, how many women stab the ear with the raucous tones of their voices? Actresses of no very great ability have turned the scales in their fa vor and achieved the utmost suc cess- by reason of agreeably cultivat ed voices. While actresses of note have kept the fickle public true to them for years on account of fine voices, Sar ah Bernhardt's hold on three gen erations of theatergoers is undoubt edly due to her world-famous "gold en voice.'< Ethel Barrymore's few deep notes, carefully developed, turned what might have been merely an unpleas ant huskiness into a highly valuable "trademark." With the result that half the novices on the stage having good natural voices attempt to "talk Ethel Barrymore" without realizing it was her intelligence and talent that turned a bad organ into an attractive one. Billie Burke has a delightful voice for an ingenue, just as Elenora Duse had a superb voice l'or the expression of tragedy. Doubtless all these gifted ladies worked early and late over their voices. Julia Marlowe took singing lessons continually to improve her I speaking voice, though I never heard | of her singing a note for even her closest friends of her own amuse ' ment. But the exercise gave a beau tiful resonance to her speaking tones, and was well worth the effort. But her voice, as an asset, seems to have been overlooked by all but the cleverest and most far-sighted of American women, to judge by the samples that smite our ' ears on streetcars and in public places. Do They Marry Princes? "Where, do the American women with beautiful voices keep them selves?" an observer is tempted to ask, after listening to a chorus of nasal, "and I says to him" or "she says to me," and one is forced to the fairy story conclusion that wom en who are clever enough to ac- interest her in doing something in the same room with you, or with some other adult, all the time. When she puts her thumb into her mouth, she should be treated practically the same as if she were getting too near the fire. Simply do not allow her to have a moment's satisfaction from her old habit. Do not allow her even to touch her mouth if you can help it. Have her play outdoors as much as she wants to. Perhaps while she is out, it will not be necessary for you to watch her quite so closely. But, even then, keep an eye on her and go frequently to where she is playing to cheer her and make her play more interesting by suggestions and appeals to her imagination. When she is indoors and especially when she is tired or hungry or sleepy, watch her continually. If she starts to suck her thumb say, "No, no," with a significant frown along with your positive action about get ting the hand away. Do not con tinue to frown but quickly smile the moment you pull the hand down. Do not slap or jerk the hand, but put it down as though you were in earnest and would not tolerate its being up for a moment. If you are compelled by circum stances to be away from the child during the day for even a short time, put on each hand a mitten of cotton flannel with nap side out. Some mother make the mistake of starting-a campaign against the habit and then become discouraged and negligent just before they could rea sonably expect to see results. Others make the mistake of allowing ex ceptions to occur occasionally, which of course, only prolongs the habit. The proper and only hopeful way of curing this particular habit is po sitively to prevent the practice for a few days. quire good voices are immediately married for them, and travel in lim ousines ever after. Parents with excellent voices seem so often deaf to this failing in their childron. An ambitious mother will allow a daughter to go through childhood and youth with a pierc ing voice that is enough to make angels weep. Every one who hears the girl realizes what a handicap she is cultivating for life, and yet ma ternal affection hears in it nothing but music. Girls with bad voi . should be made to take elocution or singing lessons until the refractory organ is properly placed and they have learned to enunciate correctly. It would be better for their future pros perity if such girls had fewer clothes, fewer amusements, and the! money thus saved spent on voice cul ture. Good firms very carefully consid-1 er the voices of the women they em-: ploy. Naturally, they prefer to have themselves represented over the' telephone by women who convey a j sense of cultivation, rather than by someone who suggests she is about l to do a turn on the vaudeville stage' that begins by shifting her cud of i chewing gum and inquiring, "Whad- \ da you want?" A short time ago an advertisement appeared in one of the great New York dailies for a "gentlewoman with an agreeable telephone voice" —and the notice went on to state that liberal compensation would be paid the applicant whp could fur nish these qualifications. Gopd Voice Needed in Business A good voice is even more valu able in business than in society. Your own corner of the world may accept you for a variety of reasons —because you are rich, pretty, agreeable, or an important man's wife. But business is relentless. You hold your "Job" by reason of your cash value to the firm and it's up to you to uphold the dignity of your employer and not make his Come on. Fellers, says 63066y,0r\d eat POST TOASTIES business absurd by a vaudeville voice, accent or speech. An affected voice or an extrava gant manner of speaking is quite as offensive as the voice and speech of the unlearned. By a good voice I do not mean a ridiculous assumption of what is sup posed to be a fashionable accent, but a well-placed voice, never nasal, and with due regard paid to the proper pronunciation of our splendid lan guage. There is no excuse for anyone speaking badly these days, for the Y. W. C. A.s and similar friendly organizations offer classes in Eng lish and elocution to all who will come. Public libraries aid and abet the good work by lending helpful books. Social settlements and com munity centers give talks and in struction on a variety of subjects and there is no reason why any girl or boy, man or woman, not utterly WE UNDER BUY^^t^^WEJJNDER SELL f? 1 Ladies New Fall Shoes 111 3j ■ ===== . ===== #: \That Meet Both the War's De mands and Fashions' Fancy Gra y s Blacks or Browns with \ i Cloth or Leather Toppings GRAY LACE BOOTS BROWN LACE BOOTS LACE BLACK SHOES „ ... i_4.l, Growing girls' dark brown Gun metal English lace Battle gray, cloth top, sho „ S k | aki „ QQ shoes , gro>ving g frls' heel; heel y ... $2.98 'I-* top.. v . $2.98 extra good <DO AQ Tan calf wing tip, military wear PdLi*Tr^ Dark gray, lace, cloth top, h ce i ( tan c loth O A€\ Kid vamp shoes with cloth high or low Qft top **7 tops, high or dp OQ Q l iee l s Dark brown kid shoe, cloth low heels <P**7o Dark gray all-kid boot, 9- 0 r leather tops; high or Patents, dull or kid all inch wave top, medium dpO QQ leather shoes; QO QQ 1 high heel heels ... <])jo%jQ all styles *POi7O Battle gray, all-kid boot, Dark brown kid shoes, Gun metal vamp, gray cloth turnsole, (t/1 QQ wing tips, d A QQ top; Welted d*Q QQ Louis heel ... jT*/0 Cuban heels .. tp **i/0 sole *pd£ii7o IlTt 144 pairs of Growing Girls' Button QO JU,Si neteiveo Shoes> gunmetal, all sizes & 1 * ° One big store-room devoted fl==sf~?
