Dear Miss Doom:

says she loves me very much, but some
times / doubt it, The other night she
said she was going to a girls house,
where there were to be several other
girls, but no fellows. I found out by
accident that they went to the theatre
with some young men from New York.
She does not know ] know this. and
has lied since about the matter, when
I asked her some questions SO as to
give her a chance to tell the truth.
Please tell m what l ought to do, as l
am. Observation-Disclosures

and that you are willingsto release her
from her engagement. This will prob
ably brighten her, and make her realize
that to lie Is to commit a serious
%offense. 1t is probable that she de-
ceived you in a prankish spirit, think
ing the whole affair great fun, without
worrying at all about whether or not
you would be hurt. When she sees
how you feel she'll probably be very
remorseful.

BY MORTON.

CEvERAL distracted mothers have
- written to pour into my breast the
narrowing tale of bad juvenile looks.
They want the philters of Hebe for Z
and 10 year olds; want to know if there
are any cosmeties-harmless to be sure
that many people use to make their
children so pretty; want to know
whether straight or curly hair is more
fashionable for children; want to know
everything, in fact, except the right
thing-what youngsters of this age
should eat, how many cubic feet of
fresh air in a bedroom are necessary
for health and complexion n If it is
true that soap and water, and brushing
and combing. are the only other beauty
methods suitable and ~efficacious for
children.
To put the thing in a nutshell, these
lear mothers have the wrong ideas of
child good looks, for the pretty child

Subiecting Skin to Unguents
and Powders Is to Assume
Yoke of Slavery.

AS to the bedroom hung with stuffs
which cannot be washed-which are al
lowed, to hold stale odors and dust for
seasons without changing and which
are cluttered to the ceiling, besides,
with useless germ-harboring
to say the least, it may be regarded
as a veritable disease trap and beauty
destroyer.
My own plan Is to have my chi,d's
bed chamber all but bare. The walls
are painted, not papered; the floor is
uncarpeted; and in this room where
she passes so many hours of her pres
ent-day existence I have placed little
more than a small iron bed, a wash
able rug. a simple enameled dressing
stand and rocking chair that may be
washed off every week and a croekery
Jug for an occasional posy. Books and
such things have no place in a sleeping
room, any more than quantities of ex-
posed clothing, for all such things are
excellent harbors for germs and dust.
And winter or summer the two win
dows of the room are left open for the
reviving and beautifying current of
fresh air.
Proper food is a decided factor in all
good looks. and upon what a child eats
character itself may almost depend.
UP to the & of I a child's food
should be chiefly milk, bread and but
ter, fresh fruits, light broths, soft
boiled eggs, simple sweets and plainly
cooked vegetables. When it begins to
crave the taste superior-reaches the
age that longs for pickles. meat and
goodness knows what-the lighter
meats should be chosen in preference
to the heavier ones, and a fruit or deli
cate vegetable salad be served now
and then as a pickup. Food too heavy
for a child's delicate digestion is a
manifold danger, for not only are COM
plexions ruined thereby, but the tenn
per Is spoiled, the growth stunted and
the health of the stomach forever en-
%dangered.
Regularity Of meals also contributes
largely toward the improved health and
looks of children-breakfast, dinner and
supper should be served every day
punctually at the same hour.
In these things-clean, sparsely fur
nished and well-aired bedrooms and
simple and regular food-lie the chief
requisites for child beauty. The others
consist In the daily tepid bath, In
cleansing shampoos for little heads, in
the religious use of the comb and brush
and In teaching a child how to stand
and breathe properly.

simmer of gray that h made against
the simmer of light on the water--a
shape almost transparent, slight and
unsubstantial-seeming to contemplate,
and as still as any mouse. .
Looking more attentively, it became
evident that her veil was now raised.
This was the first time that he had
seen her so. Blu her countenance re-
manned so deeply Swallowed by the
visor of a mannish motoring cap that
the most searching scrutiny gained no
more than a dim and scantily satisfac-
tory impression of alluring loneliness.
Maitland turned noiselessly, rested
elbows on the rail, and, staring, framed
a theory to account for her position. IL
not for her patience.
On either hand the road, dividing,
struck off at the tangent, down the
banks and into the river-bed. 1t was
credible to presume that the girl had
lost control of the machine temporarily
and that it, taking the bit between Its
teeth, had swung gaily down the in
cline to Its bath.
Why she fingered there, however,
was less patent. The water, as has
been Indicated, was some inches be-
low the %tonneau; it did not seem rea-
sonable to assume that it should have
interfered with either running-gear or

At this point In Maitland's medita-
tons the grey girl appeared to have
arrived at q decision. She Strengthened
up suddenly, with a little resolute o
of her head, lifting one small foot to
her knee, and fumbled with the laces
of her shoe.
Maitland grasped her intention to
abandon the machine, with her deter
mination to wade! Clearly this would
seem to demonstrate that there had
been a breakdown, ~irreparable so far
as frail feminine hands were concerned.
One shoe removed, it's fellow would

%chivalry, the involuntary witness was
moved to earnest protest.

Her superb composure claimed his
admiration. Absolutely ignorant though
she had been of his proximity, the voice
from out of the skies evidently alarmed
her not at all. Still bending over the
lifted foot, she turned her head slowly
and looked up; and "Ohi" said a small
voice tinged with relief. And coolly
