CHAPTER XII.

For q moment the two men looked at each
other without speaking. Herbert's wonder
ing eyes accurately reflected his brothers
establishment.
What are you doing hereT' he asked.
Suspicion overloaded his face as he put the
question: You have been to the hotel?' he
burst out; ''you have seen CathcrineY'
Randall could deny that he had seen Cath
crime with perfect truth-and did deny it III
the plainest terms. Herberb was satisfied.
'In all my remembrance Of YOU" he said,
you have never told me a lie. We have
both seen the same newspaper, of course
and yon have been the first to clear the thing
up. That's 1t, isn't it%'
"Yes."
Did you find out?'
NO"
''She's not Catherine, at any rate; /, for
one, shall go homo with q lighter heart" He
took his brothers arm TO return to the other
platform. 'Do you know, Randall, l wa al
most afraid that Catherine was the woman.
The devil take the thing and the people who
write In it!'
He snatchcd n newspaper out of his pock-
ct as he spoke, tore it in half, and threw It
away. malcolm meant well, poor fellow"
he said, referring to the old servant, but he
made a miserable man of me for all that"
Not satisfied with gossip in private, the
greedy public appetite devours gossip in
print, and wants more Of 1t than any one
editor can supply. Randall picked up the
torn newspaper. IL was not the newspaper
which he had bought at the station. Her
bert had been reading a rival Journal devoted
to the interests of society-in which the re-
port of Mrs. Ormond's marriage was repeat
ed, with this difference, that il boldly alluded
to Capt. Bennydeck by NAM. did Nal
colin give you this?" Randall asked.
"Yes; he and the servant mex. door sub
scribe to take ii in; and Malcoln thought 1t
might amuse me. II drove me out of the
house and into the railway. If it lad driven
me out Of my mind l shouldn't have been
surprised"
Gently, Herbert! Supposing the report
had been true"
AFTER what you have told me, why should
l suppose anything of the sort?'
Don't be angry; and - pray remember
that the divorce allows you and Catherine to
marry again, II you like"
Herbert became more unreasonable than
ever. IF Catherine does think of marrying
again." he said, the man will have to reckon
first with me. But that is not the point.
You seem to have forgotten that the woman
at Bucks hotel Is described as a widow. The
bare doubt that my divorced wife might be
the woman was bad enough-but what ]
wanted TO find out was how she had passed

vlRClNIk'S BEAUTY RULES.
Recipes Found In the Note Book OF an
Old-Time southern Belle.

These rules and recipes are taken
from an old book found in a Virginia
homestead. They were in use among
the beauties of the South in the DAYS
when all women were handsome, and
grace of figure was as ommon as beauty
in q rose.
TO get thin-Eat n great deal of
chopped meat without any potato in it.
Drink little fluid of any kind except
strong tea. Exercise a great deal with
out drinking, and do not eat bread and
butter or candy. Lemonade, acid drinks
of all kinds, and saline mineral waters
are excellent. Drink a glass of clear
water before breakfast.
To get fat-Eat vegetables and sleep
after each meal. Go to bed at Q o'clock
and lie in bed half an hour after you
wake up. Laugh a great deal. Drink
water by the pint 81 the quart if you
can. Drink weak and sweet tea, With
plenty of milk in it. Take cod liver and
sweet oils rs much as you can. Eat
until you feel rs if you would burst at
the table. Put plenty of butter on your
bread and do not be afraid of ales, layers,
and sweet wines. This will guarantee
"A gain of five pounds n month. and, if
you can sleep IA great deal, of double
that amount.
To have a white skin-Eat no meat
at all. Become a vegetarian; they al
ways have beautiful skin. Once in six
weeks or SO cat u meal of fresh meat.
This does away with the tendency tG
scurvy that curse Of the vegetarian.
Drink as much water as you IAN, eat
little grease, and touch no tea or coffee.
Your Breakfast may be oatmeal and
oranges; your dinner, fruit. nuts, fruit
tea-.preferably ounce tea - graham
mullins, cauliilower, croquettes, mar
malade, and dishes of stewed vegetables.
The diet is not so bad when you get
used to it. In large towns you will find
n or two restaurants catering to such
as you.
To become very muscular-Walk n
great deal, carrying always something
in the hands. This develops the arms.
To roll a hoop might be good if one
were brave enough to do so in public.
Practice lifting a little every day. Never
strain OF tire yourself. Eat meat, drink
milk, and practice bending backwards,
forwards, and sideways every day. At
night rub about a tablespoon of brandy
or rum into your skin on the under and
tender part of the arms.
To keep ones feet small This is dif-
icult. The first sign that one has
passed youth is the tendency to wear a
larger pair of shoes-and this is neces-
sary. The feet spread and really grow.
To remedy this wear shoes rs long as
can be managed. but not as wide rs seem
necessary. Never wear old slippers
around the house unless they are snug
in the width. and be careful of corns.
These are never necessary while tho

Then there follow a dozen other re-
cipes for being pretty, sweet, and at

ginia that they deserve No special

ARE you GOING A-vlSlTlNC2
IL SO Here Are Some Hints as to thu
Duty of a Guest.

The relations between n visitor aud
her hostess never require to be more
carefully considered than when the
visit is made in town. In the country a
visitor has very little opportunity of
taking her W line; on the contrary.
she has to follow the routine arranged
by her hostess, and has only to acquiesce
in what is proposed to be done each
day. 1t is different in town, where the
rule is for n host and hostess TO accept
invitations for themselves, whether a
visitor will be staying with them at the
lime or not, although a hostess general
ly informs the intended visitor before.
hand OF her dinner engagements, to give
her the opportunity OF making engage.
ments for herself in the evenings in
question; for when a host and hostess
dine out, their visitor is usually expect
ed to do the same at the house of "A
relative or friend.
Again, as regards evening parties and
dances, it much depends upon whether
The visitor is a young and pretty girl or
n lady Of middle age, as to asking per-
mission to take her or not. In the gem
crafty of cases a hostess prefers not to
ask this favor, and to allow her visitor
to amuse herself. TO an ordinary after
noon at home a visitor is taken as a
matter of course, but to no other enter
tainment, and n visitor is most I'M
reasonable when, as too often follows,
she shows evident displeasure at not
being included in the long-standing en-
gagements of her hostess, or that they
are not given up on her account AS
the obligation is incurred by the visitor,
she should respect her hostess plans
and fall in with them, and consult her AS
to all engagements she desires to make
independently of her. Otherwise a
hostess feels that she is put into rather
the position ~ Il landlady, and that her
town house is little better than a hotel
to the visitor who makes use of it.
Shopping and visiting are great
temptations to most visitors in town, but
the convenience of "a hostess should
never be sacrificed to such allurements,
and a visitor should endeavor to hit
the happy medium, and not give her
hostess too little or too much of her
society

There are great men in profusion in this
Wondrous age OF ours;
They are blossomlnB so quickly that they
beat the blooming lowers;
But like the fruit which smiles upon the
hungry passer-by
The largest is, of course, the first to catch
the public eye:
We are turning from the forum and we've
quite forgot the stage
And we scarcely name the generals where
the battles nercely rage;
1t Is useless to deny II, though the pride
of some it shocks;
The base ball pitcher is the biggest berry
in the box.
For TIE sunshine's on the diamond and the
dust begip< to fly;
The soaring ltather-covered sphere once
more delights the eye.
And men OF every calling and of every go
cial grade
Their ~adulation offer to the heroes there
displayed.
Once more the raucous rooter every tym-
panum benumbs
And the congregation rises when the sew
enth min comes,
And we eagerly acknowledge as We hasten
there in focks,
That the base ball pitcher is the biggest
berry in the box.
