He helped her down some steps, and

differently. and spoke Of her boys; then Of
the hotel and its guests, the bathing, the
scenery. presently OF the last new book
and its author. Her talk was charming

self-the perfection Of talk. precisely what
one desired from a woman. He felt some

There are numerous women, says the
New York Advertiser, who are noted
for their beautiful and graceful arms,
which artists claim are the least com
mon of all points of beauty Some Of
them are society women and some OF them
are stage queens The divine Sara's"
arms are almost as noted as her golden
