noted for beauty In the garden of girls.
II che does not grow red cheeks natural
ly she must cultivate them. and there is
more than one way how. Once on
time. Washington girl attained a rich
bloom by saving wood. an aristocratic
young woman she was. too, and married
a mint of money. Another dainty maid
took the scrubbing method but fear for
her hands made her change her training
to sweeping instead. Sweeping Is splen-
did. Brings all sorts of delsarte motions
into play--to say nothing of cleaning the
aoors. These workers are in the sere
and yellow leaf now. but they were buds
in those days. and their glowing cheeks
were marveis of loveiiness until, all at
once the athletic young woman came In.
She was lank and sallow with yearnings
and picture frocks, and the rosy faction
were obliged to stand back. They were
compared to dairy maids, so what else
could they do. The esthetic girl, in her
turn. gave way to all sorts of other
types who had their little day until now
the wheel has gone its round and red
cheeks must bloom again.
The Duchess of Marlborough has ac-
quired them, though how she came by

little Countess of Craven Is trying in
dustriously to achieve them. and her
friends are waiting to see how her efforts

Well. they tried il, One of the young
women had a father who owned a farm
and on the farm were a few fieecy sheep

them across the meadows. At noon they
huddied them in the shade, and at sun
down they chased the hills to find them.
Nor would they go to bed until the last
sheep had been found. Little Bo-Peep
who lost her sheeep was lazy by the side
of these girls.
They have been sheperdesses now two
weeks. and their roses are coming back.
They eat with an appetite. and can
scarcely wait hraak drjn
milk from the goats and cows. and they
eat eggs from the speckled hens. They
ride old horses bareback. and they wear
old clothes. Their hair files from
simple Psyche knot. and they have lost
their curling tongs.
