becomes dry land-the sand is caught in
handfuls and packed hard with pebbles
over tin mustard box that is with
drawn a little later, leaving cave
in which fierce bear is in
stalled to growl defiance to all comers-
or wooden lamb is securely hidden from a
savage dog or wolf. Often these young
people make mountain pass in sand and
pebbles and fight battle royal through it,
or else build fort, In which their one toy
cannon is rendered useless at top, while at
tack and repulse go on through the rolling
stones in wall and escarpment.
With plenty of green stuff and few
flowers, landscape is possible-though,
strange to tell, the girls do not like it so
well as soldier play. A tin pan foored
and renewed with pebbles makes capital
lake, with forest of green twigs on the
latter's bank, and toy swan afoat in its
waters. That the bird has barely room to
turn and is tied fast to a big fiat cork to in
sure his floating at all, detracts nothing
from the satisfaction of the beholders, who
carpet the earth with leaves and plant rose
trees and tulip ledges, whose blossoms quite
over-top the lakeside forest.
"Mountains' is another great sand game.
The Alps, the Andes, the Rockies-in fact,
every famous range has been heaped up in
the trays middle and battered down with
marbles. The little mother is bringing in
by telling the stories of the con-
and encouraging the youngsters
to outline them on the smooth sand-surface,
and put in big and little marbles for the
stars of various magnitudes. Only the two
eldest are yet equal to that, but the wee
tots make up for it in their tireless marking
with pointed sticks upon the moist sand.

and let it end beyond the corner. You will
be amazed to see how it brings out the
liquid brilliance that makes no small part
of youths beaute du diable.
A mature face takes the dark flesh tint
less, but lower rouging, and in place of LASH
lines, crow feet and wrinkles on brow and
at base of the nose. Paint them in with
rouge and burnt umber, using the finest
camel's hair pencil.
If feature is to be exaggerated to gro
tesqueness, nose-putty comes into play. A
fair substitute is soft dough, either of
course is applied, moulded to shape, then
painted over. 1t is possible, though, to
make the apparent size much greater by
painting it several shades lighter that the
rest of the face. Contrariwise long nose
or chin can be shaded down with darker
fiesh-tint, mixed with very light gray. A
little practice before the glass will teach
you more than volume as to the possibili-
ties of shading with this combination.
Paint drunkard nearly as red as he does
the streets and put gray-blue over the
lower face to represent his unshayen beard.
A bald head has the hair waxed or soaped
down and is colored whitish flesh with a
succession of wrinkles betwi1t eyebrow and
scalp.
For applying colors in powder, puff is
good, hare's foot better, bit of velvet
of course using the pile side-best of all
To remove superfuous color, use bit of
sponge or soft linen dipped in vaseline or
alcohol. Prevention though is much better
than cure. Use your paint judiciously and
save yourself much trouble and vexation of
spirit. AUNT LOUISA ELDRIDGE.

spin when, from outside indications, 1t
would look impossible. On day when the
sun does not shine very brightly the ice re-
mains hard until the thermometer reaches
42o above zero. When the sun is very
bright, skating can be had at $50. One
must always be in mind that it is always
colder in an open space, as on ariver or lake,
than in cities where the houses are grouped:
In the first part OF the winter comes the old
caution, do not venture on the ice until it is
safe. Most people think it should be four
inches thick, which, however, will hold a
horse. AS soon as the ice is two inches
thick it is safe always get on the ice as
soon as it reaches 1 u inches and weigh 16O
pounds at the beginning of the winter: The
first of the winter the ice is strong and elias
tic and two inches will hold as much weight
as four inches in the latter part of the sea-
son when it becomes soft and spongy.

A full set of grease paints is so moderate
in cost that I strongly advise their pur-
chase. If for any reason that is impossible,
you can make. an excellent substitute by
rubbing down various pigments in little
cold cream Cold cream is indeed the be-
ginning and the end of makeup. Rub it
thoroughly into the skin before giving a
touch of color When the play is over,
smear the face literally, and wipe off with a
soft cloth, after which wash the skin thor
oughly with warm weak suds, well dashed
with alcohol. Rinse well in clear water
and dry by patting, not wiping, with soft
towel
In mixing paints each tint, Of course, is
kept separate Small butter plates do ad-
mirably to hold them. For red, make the
cream stiff with powdered magnesia then
mass brilliant. For blonde flesh tint use
more white powder, with red enough to
give pink tinge, and very little yellow
ochre. For brunette, put in more yellow
and red, with a suspicion of burnt umber.
For Jap or Chinaman, use the yellow and
brown, with but trace of red. For an In
dian, use red and brown, with very little
yellow. Make gray paint, for shadows and
old faces, with ivory black or lamp black,
mixed with violet powder. For the gray
blue of bruise, or long beard, add tone
of Prussian blue For black, take either
ivory or lamp black. Make also red flesh
tint by adding rouge to the mixture first
made, and you have the list of indispensi-
nf
brown will not be amiss. The pigments
should be dry powder, and in that form
little is to be busted over the complexion as
q finishing touch.
Take care in the beginning not to touch
with the cold cream any place that is to
have hair applied, as eyebrows, upper lip
and SO on. 1t is better, of course, to buy
wigs, boards and the like ready for use.
The clever amateur, though, may sew wool
or moss or hair upon cloth, paste it on with
spirit gum, and finds it answer his purpose.
To fit o wig, measure from ear to ear, from
temple to temple, and around the head
from forehead to nape. Make the founda-
tion to correspond and cover it, as BELTS
the character.
For eyebrows, mustaches or whiskers,
the best thing is the crepe hair, sold in the
shops. To obliterate hair or eyebrows
paste them down with beeswax, softened
with sweet oil, and paint them over heav-
lily. With pains and patience even prom
Using mustache may be preserved, vet its
owner look and act the lady to perfection.
To make up youthful face, first rub all
over with the blonde flesh color. Rouge the
cheeks we'll, putting the color just under
the eve. Do not make it too deep. Indeed,
moderation is the amateurs golden rule.
Remember always that you have not tho
depths and distances of the stage, to soften
and shadow your colors Make the lips del
icately brilliant with carmine rouge, and
shadow the upper and lower eyelids family
with purplish gray tint If the eve needs
enlarging, draw dark line along either lid

CHAPTER K

Now all this time, while the tragi-comedy
Of life was being played in these three
suburban villas, while on a commonplace
stage love and humor and fears and lights
and shadows were so swiftly succeeding
each other, and while these three families,
drifted together by fate, were shaping each
others destinies and working out in their
own fashion the strange, intricate ends Of
human life, there were human eyes which
watched over every stage of the perform
ance, and which were keenly critical Of
every actor on it. Across the road beyond
the green paling and the close-cropped lawn,
behind the curtains Of their creeper-framed
windows, sat the two old ladies, Miss
Bertha and Miss Monica Williams, looking
out as from private box at all that was
being enacted before them. The growing
friendship of the three families, the engage
ment of Harold Denver with Clara Walker,
the engagement of Charles Westmaeott with
her sister. the dangerous fascination which
the widow exercised over the doctor, the
preposterous behavior of the Walker girls
and the unhappiness which they had caused
their father, not one of these incidents es-
capped the notice of the two maiden ladies.
Bertha, the younger, had q smile or sigh
for the lovers, Monica, the elder, frown or
talked over what they had seen and their
dull, uneventful life took warmth and
coloring from their neighbors as blank
wall reflects beacon fre. And now it was
destined that they should experience the
one keen sensation of their later years, the
one memorable incident from which all
future incidents should be dated.
1t was on the very night which succeeded
these events which have Just been narrated.
when suddenly into Monica Williams
head, as she tossed upon her sleepless bed,
there shot thought which made her sit up
with thrill and gasp.
Bertha said she, plucking at the
shoulder Of her sister, 81 have left the front
window open"
'tNo, Monica, surely not" Bertha sat up
also, and thrilled in sympathy.
''I am sure of it. You remember I had
forgotten to water the pots, and then I
opened the window, and Jane called me
about the jam, and have never been in the
room since"

time with our sledging along the river, our
camps at night almost in sight Of those We
had left in the morning, so ceose were they
together and so slowly did we labor along.
Reindeer on which we were relying for
our daily supply of food were not found
near the river, but some being seen 10 or 10
miles back from it, L determined to leave
the river and strike straight across country
for Hudson's Bay. We had been gone but
three or four days, and as we ascended the
higher levels the thermometer commenced
lowering, and on the Sd of January reached
10 below Zero the coolest we experienced
