Renewing Compilations
By Absorption

If your complexion is married with
blotches, moth patches. pimples or
freckles, it's useless to puter with
powders and paints. lotions, creams
and things, in an effort to get rid of
the trouble. Unless you have some
ability as an artist you'll mar your
appearance still more.
The new and rational way is to
take off the complexion itself, with all
its offensive marks. Just get an ounce
of pure mercolized wax at the drug
gist's and use at night same as cold
cream. Remove next morning with
water and soap, following with dash
of cold water. The mercolized wax
absorbs the half-dead scarf skin in
flaky particles, SO gradually no one
guesses you're treating your face
unless it be by the result, which is
truly wonderful. There's nothing like
it for restoring a natural, healthy and
beautiful complexion.-Aunt Sally.

LOneSOme--A Short Story
BY PAUL VILLIERS

When she bought the chateau in the
heart OF the mountains OF Brittany
without ever having seen it, the Wiz
lage notary almost broke his pen. And
when it became known that she had
moved into the castle attended only
by single maid and absolutely re-
fused to see anybody. the whole neigh
borhood shrugged their shoulders and
called her the mad chatelaine." But
as the castle was five miles from the
nearest village, when the old tenants
of the farms had an easy time with a
mistress who seemed to care nothing
for money, and when nobody ever met
her or her maid. people stopped talk,
ing about the strange woman who had
come. nobody knew from where, to
hide in this corner of the world, per-
haps from a secret sorrow, or great
misfortune.
The name she had given was a com
mon everyday French name. She did
not owe anybody a centime and was
no longer pretty enough to arouse
jealousy, or rich enough to cause any
body to envy her.
The attraction of this melancholy,
hidden place was the feeling of its
lonesomeness. Around the castle ran
first an old wall with moat, then a
park and beyond this a number of
stagnant ponds. There were seven OF
these lying close together and filled
with many years growth of rushes
forming like a girdle of melancholy
silence of damp freshness around the
old castle, whose walls were covered
with a thick layer of moss.
From the terrace, which was over
Swallowed by the tall square tower
there was a view of the blue sea
among the treetops, moved by the
strong breeze from the shore Of the
Atlantic. The park was a dense mass
of dark pines, slender birches and ro
bust oaks. In former days it had beer
well kept, but the present owner neg
| lected it and it's walls had completely
| disappeared beneath thick layer Of
| the dead leaves of several years. The
| leaves rustled under her feet wher
| she walked through the park, which
F! was as lonesome as she herself, anC
she always took the same walk to ar
old stone bench, where she sat staring
at the stagnant water of the ponds
| The changing sky, rejecting in the
ponds imbued them with ever chang
| ing colors Sometimes their surface
was quite blue like that of the sky
above; at other times when the sky
was cloudy and when the sun was set
ting behind the trees the water was
quite pink and an enchantment seem
ed to rest over the chateau, whose
windowpanes facing west were glitter
ing in all the colors of the rainbow
The very stones of the wall seemed
pink and, at this hour of the day, the
lonesome woman felt most attracted
by the placid water She went dowr
to the bank and like a child she dipped
her hand into the water. Not a single
ring adorned her white slender fin
gers. The water was ice cold.
After a few moments she went bacl

to the castle and locked herself up for
days.
With the exception of the one room
she used. everything in the castle
wore the stamp not of her personality
but of that of the former owner, who
had been a passionate hunter. II was
a strange contrast when this still
young, refined and pretty woman with
the heavy auburn hair went through
the immense billiard room. She mount
ed the broad stairs which had creaked
under his heavy hunting boats. Like
a shadow she walked through the half
furnished rooms, in which his friends
had slept during the hunting season.
She thus reached a single room hung
with costly tapestries and silk cur
tains, the only luxury she permitted
herself. With the assistance of her
maid she had quite transformed this
room. which had been the bedroom
of the mother of the former owner.
The crystal pitfalls in her travelling
case We're ornamented with her mono
gram, surmounted by coronet, show
ing that she was woman belonging
to the best society. Various OF her be-
| lonings showed that this young woman
who took no interest in anything any
more, had formerly been fond OF all
kinds of luxury, but who knew this eX-
cept the old maid who dressed her
| hair every night
Oh these nights! How often did she
not get up to look at the ponds glitter
ing in the moonlight. A thin mist was
arising from the surface Of the water
gradually enveloping the banks, the
