Ry DOROTHY DOUGLASS

Sylvia Graham stood before the
cheval mirror in the small dressing
room her studio boasted. She brushed
her coppery hair rhythmically, keep
ing time to the old Scotch ballad she
hummed
On the broad studio couch lay a
gown of dull gold ready to adorn the
figure of Sylvia when the copper mass
should have been brought into sub
mission and properly coifed. Toilette
and ballad were in preparation for a
musicale at which the girl was to
sing A steady glow in her eyes fore
told success.
In the studio above David Guthrie
sat close to window aad listened,
spellbound, to the wonderful voice. 1t
was the song. as much as the voice,
that charmed him. 1t took him back
to the moonlit nights On shipboard,
when the passengers had gathered TO-
gether to hear the same song rem
dered in the melting voice of rugged
Scot. The quaint, mournful little bal
lad had in 1t an appeal that stole deep
into the heart.
And here-thousands of miles from
his own bonny Scotland-someone
else loved "Ae Fond Kiss" Guthrie
was sure the singer below loved it
from the way in which she caressed
each wailing note.
True to his Scotch instincts, Guth-
RE was not the man to hesitate when

present he wanted to accompany the
girls voice. He arose and went
straight to the piano in his own stu

song so well. He picked up the ac-

was singing.

Increased In volume, perhaps her ex-
preston became more splendidly tell
Ing. but, certainly, deeper color
sprang into her cheeks and her eyes
glowed under the magnetic touch on
the keys above. When the last note
of the song and piano had fioated out
to mingle with the twilight shades.
Sylvia turned from the mirror with
quivering nerves. She was sure Of
only one thing-that she never had
sung the ballad so we'll.
In the elevator outside a diminutive
messenger boy was being carried
swiftly up to David Guthrie's studio. In
his hand was a box from florist.

couldn't understand by the telephone

boy delivered himself Of this speech
as soon as Guthrie opened the door.
They're all right" replied Guthrie,
after examining the roses. And the
lad was whizzed down the elevator
Guthrie closed the box, tied piece
of cord around it and, going to the
window at the rear of his studio, he
lowered the flowers to the sill below.
He swung it several times until it
tapped on the glass. A moment later,
two hesitating, slender hands ap-
peared, detached the box and with
drew. Guthrie heard smothered eX-
preston of surprise.
Below, Sylvia buried her flushed
face in a cluster of fragrant tea roses
whose tiny yellow heads sparkled
with cooling dew.
How sweet" she murmured into
them. You shall go with me tonight
your fragrance will inspire my best
voice" For a long moment she was
. lost In thought; then. suddenly, she
raised her head and began the second
verse of another old song, "A Bowl
of Roses" Every word rang clear and
distinct:

"And Allied me with something-some-

The voice wavered for a second be-
fore the last line reached the man
who listened SO intently.
"Oh-was it you?"
For a fleeing moment the air was
charged with the electric union OF two
souIs-in finitely happy in the melody
of song. Then-Guthrie heard the
closing of window.

before them, the lights cleaning on
her head, there was one among who

thompson removed his hat and coat
and then wandered into the kitchen
after his wife. He has a way of tag

due partly to the fact that he is an alb

the strange circumstance that he has

pantry and returned with a small yell
low skinned onion in his hand.
What do you call this beautiful OBJ

His wife considered this attempt at

Mr.. BaiIeY's Rules.

Henry Turner Bailey, a Boston art
ist, has laid down a set of rules where
by women of high and low degree, fat,
thin, tall or short, can achieve aesthet-
ic perfection in style. Here are the
rules:
If you are tall, wear gowns made on
horizontal lines and never have dress
es too long or too short.
If you are short. your costume should
be made on vertical lines. Never have
your dresses short, regardless of style.
If you are stout. dress plainly in a
one color scheme.
If you are thin, mixed goods is per
missible.
Women possessing large feet should
never wear tan shoes.
Whether feet are large or small, the
broad bulldog toe is inartistic from ev.
cry point Of view.
In conclusion Mr.. Bailey says. "PuffS
are condemnable because they are

and delegate his duties in the United
Kingdom to a distinguished member of
his house. Some such development
might, if the empire holds together, oc-
cur fifty years hence, when the Do
minion will probably outclass Great
Britain in population and power, with
out any constitutional innovation on
the principal established by the Duke
Of Connaught's appointment"
Although the Duke of Connaught is
considered the most popular man In
all England, yet the secret of 1t has
never been definitely defined. He is
blessed with personal magnetism and
a charming manner and has a distin-
Ruished appearance. Though more
than sixty, he is credited with being
more royal In appearance than his
brother, Edward VII, with his snow
white hair and mustache and excep-
tonal carriage. He is very democratic,
and his children are like him. No one
can point to any particular act OF bril-
Nancy or merit on the dukes part, but
he is pointed out as a typical English
gentleman, real sportsman, a good
ahot and hard rider.

Children,s Guessina Party.

A mother who wished to entertain
school children gave a guessing party
that was rather out of the usual run.
Boys and girls were invited for an
evening with celebrities and their
haunts. Nothing more explicit was
said, so the young people were eager
to know what was in store.
After being received by the hostess
the party was ushered into a library,
across one end of which was a huge
white sheet. In q few minutes the
room was darkened and a figure ap-
peared dressed TO represent Mrs. Jar
ley of the waXworks and in a witty
speech announced the appearance of
the celebrities.
She first distributed to each guest a
card with pencil attached. These were
lined and numbered to correspond with
the celebrities to be shown.
In a few minutes a picture of Blue
beard was thrown on the sheet and
thirty seconds given to guessing who
he was
The celebrities varied from heroes of
fiction to monarchs, pugilists and foot
ball stars, noted actresses, poets, mu-
sicians, to well known places and
buildings.
The pictures were made as different
as possible. and when those that might
be unfamiliar were given the show
man elucidated it in a clever little
speech.
At the end Of the display the cards
were numbered and passed in to q
committee on awards. Each boy and
girl having most correct guesses re
ceived a prize. There were also sec.
ond and third prizes.
Such an entertainment is not hard to
arrange if one can get the use of Ian
tern and some one to run 1t. 1t is es
sential to display the pictures rapidly.

If early rising is insisted upon a
child should never be set any task be-
fore breakfast, especially in winter,
and If it is not eXpedient to serve a
full breakfast at the child should be
given q bowl of hot milk and bread or
a cup of cocoa with a roll or other
light food. Breakfast may be served
later, after the first exercises of the
morning, and should be a substantial
meal with animal food in the form of
fish, eggs or cold meat of some sort.
There should also be porridge Of
wheaton grits or hominy with milk or
cream and abundant sugar; also bread
and butter, with some sweets in the
form of jam, marmalade or stewed
fruit
Dinner, which should always be serv-
ed near the middle of the day, should
comprise meat, potatoes and one or
two green vegetables and some form
of sweet pudding. Supper, it is gen
orally admitted, should comprise only
easily digested articles of food. and
SUCH SuDSluuCeS as pdolISb CuSeSe duu
meats are better omitted.
1t should consist of either a porridge
with milk or cream or a light farina-
ceous pudding Of rice, tapioca, sago
and the like, with bread and butter
and some simple form Of preserve.
Stewed apples or prunes, light plain
cake or a bowl of broth, with bread or
crackers, may be substituted for por-
ridge or pudding.
Children need fat, but they do not
digest meat fat well, as a rule, and are
very apt to dislike it. They will often
! take suet pudding, however, when hot
mutton fat wholly disagrees with them.
| Milk should be freely supplied not
only in the form of puddings and por-
ridges. but as an occasional beverage,
and children should be made to under

tain a glass of milk and biscuit or a
bowl of bread and milk.

children. and meat should be given at
/ least once a day, and to rapidly grow

Rest the Scalp.

Rest for the scalp is imperative to
overcome the strain of wearing the
large quantities of false hair that are
now fashionable, for in addition to the
nass of curls, puffs, etc, many pins
are required to hold the coiffures in
shape. These pins naturally pull the
hair roots.
