How to Be Beautiful
by MARGARET HUBBARD AYR.

By mhlNSAhbI hODhhhD AIN
Being good looking is largely matter
OF will power.
II is a question OF self-control.
"Oh, you know. coffee doesn't agree
with me. but ] simply love 1t. Another
cup. please" rs H
That is the defeat of the early morning
and during the day the woman who so
ardently desires TO be beautiful succumbs
TO one after another OF the temptations
which she knows she should resist II she
wants to keep the looks she has and de-
velop more.
Many OF these temptations meet her at
the table but her road is beset with them
at every hand.
There is the desire TO be lazy, especially
prevalent among the stout sisterhood.
No woman has TO be lazy unless she
wants to- nor need she allow the accumu-
Iaton of flesh TO continue beyond a Ger
tain point But it's easier to get fat and
then bewail ones fate at Turkish baths
than TO control ones desires for too much
and too many rweets and exercise both
brain and body systematically.
The woman who is very thin and in
sists on worrying over that and other
things might learn to Danish her petty
AID unnecessary worries from her mind
by making a determined effort Of the
will She might cultivate a sense of
humor and make herself look upon the
bright side OF things, even II Il was
hard Personally have mover been able
TO understand why people who profess
perfect faith in their Creator should go
around as harassed and worried as II
they were personally responsible for the
universe.
Atlas, who carried the world on his
shoulders, is always pictured as most
careworn. old rerson, with n visago
scanned with wrinkles. Yet. Il he had
| tossed the earth off his shoulders nothing
| terrible would have happened. since Il
has hung suspended for quite a while
WITHOUT his help.
There are thousands OF lady Aliases.
| One sees their careworn faces every
where. each carrying an unnecessary load
OF worry.
"Weu, l am OF that temperament. /
/ Just have to worry about something all
| the time"
I've had dozens OF women say that 10
me I'm one breath and ask Tor a wrinkle
remedy with the ncxt Worry with tlom
Ia as much a weakness as candy Is Win
| others. -.
Great beauties are born, not made.
Tnoy don't have TO tlIinll about Their
looks until long after 80, then they need
what all the lessec beauties have Tong
resorted TO. and what the French called

liberty and our republic. But. gentle
men. through IL all the constitution OF
the United States still Is sacred and
supreme. and there" his voice took on
a sudden ring OF exultation-"and there
waves its everlasting emblem.'
One grizzled old veteran OF Sumner
Rollins ranks had brought with him
a tattered old American dag that had
gone through the war or the north and
south and had unfurled its war stain
ed stars and stripes to their gaze.
There was a cheer. but only n feeble
one. The men. almost with one ac-
cord. took Off their hats. and moisture
stood in their eyes.
A strange 6gure appeared among
them. Old Henry Breed. still clad I'm
his mOckery of royal raiment. stag
gered to the door. In his fall and
through all that succeeded II his hands
had convulsively gripped his money,
and he still held 1t, green and orange,
in his fingers.
Cash. his shrin old voice quavered
as be flaunted II In the air. 'Cashl
The greatest force in all the world! The
power that can totter thrones and dis
rupt governments. CASH. The life

He stopped to laugh shrilly and al
lowed a soldier TO seat him in a chair.
where he drooled of into a jibbering
mumbiing. As he left the doorway his
place was taken by DR.. Zelphan. Both
hands were filled with shawl strapped
packages OF his precious manuscript.
He looked down at Breed n moment In
contempIative pity.
He viii die the way he is now"
said he. His once remarkable brain
is mere mush. He was a wonderful
study. a most wonderful study. and
the nearest approach TO an absolute
monarch OF any resident OF this globe.
In the meantime. gentlemen. America
has had her orgasm, and her nerves
will be quieter now. ! hid you good

ne strobe down the urIVe and nrount
the trees at the bend.
Running around the corner came FL
sic White. who had been hidden TO
stay back in safety. but who could
not, and Rollins drew her to his side.
The wind. blowing away some heecy
clouds, revealed In the east the first
rosy glow OF coming day. and the
same grim old veteran who had
brought with him the war stained bat
tlehag broke in trembling accents
into a song that cleared the still quiv-
ering air OF the fevered "Marseillalse."

chorus of newly freed men. that was

birth for the republic he had almost

wide cemented vesubule where an
electric light was already burning.
Lillian dropped down before the com
bination knob and turned it carefully
backward and forward several times.
II feared So" she said to Blagg. who
knelt beside her. THE combination
has been changed"
Blagg took the knob in his long, sen
sitive fingers and, not looking at il,
bent his ear close to 1t, while Lillian
laid her bare arm loosely across his
shoulders. He turned the knob slowly
and gently, he stopped and turned II
backward. slowly and gently, and then
smiled as he gave the ring OF the door
a clutch and pulled. The door came
open.
It's a good thing that I practiced
those long. long hours every night on
that sample knob in my room upstairs, -
he said as he went on to the next one.
Slowly, but with remarkable skill.
he worked his way through the four
iron doors until, with Lillian by his

to put this money away and lock 1t

Kelvin had promised himself 10 be
in the lead as they went down the
stairway, but as he turned into the
closet entrance a huge black form
thrust itself in before him. and Sam
led the way. unarmed except for the
formidable weapons with which nature
had provided him.
The greedy garnerers of Breeds
golden harvest were taken by COM

tasks as the men in Khaki streamed
in upon them. but their weapons had
been laid aside. and they had only
bags OF money with which to fight,
and these were too heavy.
