That evening Betty, who had become
more and more distracted and silent.

was tired, and was going to bed. Bel
lairs tried TO get a moment with her
alone. but she frustrated the attempt by
holding out l2T hand to him IN public
and markedly bidding him goOd-n.g ht
before Lord and Lady BTaydOn. When
she had. disappeared Bell3ins sought
Clarice. who was downstairs in the sa-
loon writing letters. Clar.Oe looked up
from the biot,ing pad as he entered.

abruptly.

her."
Bellairs tapped his fingers Impatient
~ on The table.
Don't tell me YOU haven't noticed
the change he said, Forgive me for
saying that I couldn't believe it II you
did"
ON that case I won't trouble myself
to say it,.
"Ah-you have! Then what's the

do anything if you'll only explain Betty
TO me.

Bellairs pushed back his chair and
there was an awkward silence. Clarice's
question was very unexpected and very
difficult to answer.

CHAPTER VI

The explanation of Clarice struck Bel
lairs with a benumbing force. In vain
he argued to himself tina j, was not the
true one, that no heart could follow an
other as she said BeJty's followed hers,
that no nature could merely for ever
echo another's. Some furtive despair
lurking in his soul whispered THAI she
had spoken the truth. An appalling
sense Of utter impotence seized him, as
il SEXES man who fights with a shadow.
But he resolved 10 fight His whole LIES
happiness hung on the issue.
On the following day he forced him

To Cure Headaches.

IA hot bath, stroll in the fresh
air, shampooing the head in weak soda
water, or timely nap in cool, quiet
room will sometimes stop a nervous
headache" writes DIR. B. F, Herrick
in August Ladies Home Journal.
"When overfatigued from shopping or
sightseeing q sponge dipped in very
hot water and pressed repeatedly over
the back of the neck between the ears
will be found exceedingly refreshing,
especially if the face and temples are
afterward subjected to the same treat
ment. Neuralgia is caused not only
by cold air but by acidity of the stom-
ach, starved nerves, imperfect teeth,
or by Incidence combined with too
generous diet. Heat is the best and
quickest cure for this distressing pain.
A hot flat-iron, passed rapidly and deft-
ly over several folds of flannel laid on
the affected spot, will often give relief
in less than ten minutes, without the
aid of medicine. Hot lamentations
are of equal value; though when the
skin is very tender it is more advlsa-
BILE to use dry heat, nothing being bet
ter for the purpose than bags of heated
salt, -four or sand, which retain warmth
for a long time. Cold water, applied
by the finger tips to the nerves in front
of the ear, has been known to dispel
neuralgia pains like magic. When
caused by acidity dose of charcoal or
soda will usually act as corrective.
Sick headache is accompanied by bill
ious symptoms, and attacks usually
come on when the person is overtlred
or below par physically. This is dis
ease of the first half of life, and often
stops of it's own accord after middle
age. A careful diet is imperative in
every case, sweet meats and pastry be-
ing especially pernicious.
Eating heartily when very. tired,
late dinners, eating irregularly, insuffi-
cient mastication or too much animal
food especially in the spring or dur
ing the hot weather, are frequent caus-
es of indigestion, causing headaches by
reflex action"

Boiled Bread Pudding.

Lay four or five mealy buttered slices
of bread in deep pan. Take one
cupful ofsugar, two eggs, one teaspoon,
full of corn starch, a pinch of salt and
beat smooth with little milk. Add
to this one quart of milk and pour over
bread. Flavor as preferred. Then put
an asbestos plate on the stove, put the
pudding on with a cover and let slowly
come to q boil: Remove cover and
boil about fifteen minutes. Cool and
serve plain. Boiled, it is creamy all
through mot a hard crumb in it.

Ignora;,he is by no means always
bliss, tr,-C is certainly conductive,

said, consists very largely in not know

happiness is not helped on by an envi-

The following IA series Of hints 20
young singers and would be singers
which have been received from one OF
Bostons vol known musicians;
Start under the right instruction. II u
far better 20 begin right in middle life
than wrong in youth.
Study everything carefully, for whats
worth doing at all Is worth doing well.
Cultivate refinement in all things. The
tastes. inclinations and tendencies Of the
singer. whether refined or coarse. are UNI
avoidably made manifest In the inter
probation Of the music she sings.
Keep up with the events o. the world
in general way. but while studying
music live In an atmosphere Of music.
Concentration Ia the secret OF many .
singers success.
Sing everything "a the author wrote
/ Il. for one should DO as truthful In music
as In history.
Plan your mode Of living and hours
Tor eating. sleeping and exercising accord.
ing TO the manner In which they affect
your singing.
Throw your whole soul into your sing.
Ing. Live In the song while you sing st.
The sympathy and interest Of an audi.
ence are most frequently gained by tho
sincere, soulful and truthful rendering
Of a selection.
Cultivate animation. warmth Of spirit
and coloring In rendering your songs.
Train yourself to ba cool headed aud

/ Sing without notes when possible. You
can produce better dramatic effects and

Don't try 10 study music. art and sci

and do that well.
Don't think OF making music your pro-
/ fession unless you have n more than or.

fession Is always crowded with perform.
ers, except az the very top, where there
Ia always plenty Of room.
Don't think Of makingmusic your pro-
fesslon unless you have plenty OF money
10 give yourself the best possible musical
education.
Don't think that training In execution
and technique Of the voice only Is suf.
ficient. The professional singer should
DO a perfect reader and well schoolcd In
counterpart nnd harmony.
Don't think the life OF q successful
singer IS easy. The more successful the
singer the moro she becomes a slave to
her profession.
Don't make practice Of humming. II
tires the voice.
Don't practice long at a time, especial
ly II you are just beginning. Il much
botter to practice little and often.
Don't eat Just before singing. A hearty
meal several hours before and light
stimulating refreshment just before you
sing are much better.
Don't drink wine for a atimulant. II
Is not only drying 20 the throat, but Il
too strong stimulant. A person needs
