She said true: yet had passed all as charm

woman like this gives away her sisters II is
edifying. Otero showed me how one splendid
creature fought for years against a double
chin and conquered; how another began bony;
how another has learned to dissimulate
trumpet nose.
Stop!" I exclaimed. You will make me
think that all young women are full of de-
fects!"
"They are" said Otero. What is time for
but to correct them? Scatter the photographs
and look again. You will find them beauties
now in any case! They radiant. They
have learned their power!"
1t was even SO. There were flashes Of
stasy, CLEANS of delight, eyes that spoke soul
awakenings, lips parted in mystery. There
were coy faces faces that asked battling ques-
faces that breathed sweet, sad reverie.
"All kinds of faces, except wooden twenty
year-old faces heinz" laughed the subtle Span
lard. "a Paris photographer has given a
partial reason why their faces are loveler at

"All that in general; but he claims a par

to resemble our best photographs by gentle de-
grees, unconsciously, when they follow each
other in long, changing SERIES"
Living up to last weeks photograph makes
next weeks photograph still handsomer," 1
said "A hundred photographs completes the
cure"
HE was photographer of course and gave
the entire credit to his art" replied Otero.
Perhaps the secret is encouragement. How
often we have seen plain women bloom out.
We women guess the secret cause.-the trans
figured one is happy in love. She has been en-
couraged."
ooh, well then" said. ANY way to encour-
age oneself!
That's it! Beauty is a habit" exclaimed
Otero 1T is the habit of those who have start

ly conceal her age, and the trick is half won.

Treasure From the Sea.

Boys that live Ct Pine Brook, N j., did not
know that there Was buried treasure near at
hand or they might have gone hunting for 1t.
Two fishermen found 1t. A strong line much
larger than you have ever used unless you have
gone fishing for whale or something of that
sort, was caught In the bottom of the river.
The men tugged on 1t ana found that it gave
little, and just then an automobile came along
the road. The men asked Che automobile man
to give them little assistance, and they tied
the line to the rear axle anG let the car pull
on it. The line strained and slowly moved out
of the water, drawing with it wrecked capoe
full OF mud and stones. In the can~e was found
heavy chest, which was removed by The men
and loaded into the car, and then the driver
and fishermen went on to town There they
displayed the find, and the chest was recog.
nized as the silverware box belonging to a
hotel. The box had been stolen in 1904, and
no trace of the robbers had been found
